"Okay, Son, go and do it for me. Try to get as much as you can. If possible, continue blackmailing her until we get about ten grand a month! We can split the money in half!" 

"Got it, Mom. I'll try to get as much money as possible. But promise me that you will still have enough for yourself. Don't give everything to Harry. That useless bastard will keep on leeching on our hard-earned money!" Matt scolded his mother, who had been blinded by love. 

"I—I will, Matt. Don't worry. I will try to stop giving too much. I also need to live…" Mary promised though both of them knew that she would break that promise the moment Harry returned to her and asked for more. 

Matt sighed and ended the call.

Beep.

Mary grinned as she stared at the newspaper clipping. She took it out of the frame and took a close-up picture, making sure it wasn't blurry, so everyone who saw the picture could read the news. 

"I'm sorry that things have come down to this, Hilda," Mary murmured. "But this is all of your daughter's fault. She's too snobby. She looked down on my son as if he's a worthless man, even though he has been kind enough to stay with a barren woman like her."

"So what if he cheated? He cheated because he wanted a baby! Do you think my son doesn't deserve to be happy after all of his sacrifices? He's handsome. He deserves so much better than Kate!" Mary yelled. "So if you want to pin the blame, pin it all on Kate. Your first daughter is truly a disgusting skank."

"She is arrogant, disobedient to her husband, and unable to provide for him when he's at his lowest. So ungrateful!"

Mary continued to slander Kate until she was satisfied and then went to the kitchen to see which one she could sell for extra cash.

Matt waited until his mother sent him the picture of the newspaper clip. He smirked when he read the clip.

A local priest was arrested after molesting ten children. Police are investigating his family.

"Ah, how can I forget about this news? It was so big when we were in high school. Everyone in the school basically isolated Kate. Nobody wants to be her friend or talk to her unless it's absolutely necessary because they don't want to be associated with a pedophile's daughter," Matt recalled. "Well, I was different. I still admit to everyone that I'm her boyfriend, and people applaud me for staying with an ugly pedophile's daughter like Kate."

Matt recalled all the fun he had until they left for Los Angeles after graduating high school. 

He was always the golden child in the community. He was handsome and charismatic. Though he didn't excel in sports or academics, he was handsome, and that was all he needed.

In fact, it was Kate who excelled in everything.

She was good at sports, and she was also very smart. She always scored top in almost every subject, so she entered many academic competitions and won most of them.

To the teachers, she was the honor student that brought pride to the school.

But to her peers, she was a nerdish, stiff, and awkward freak. They also called her teacher's pet because every teacher in school always praised her. The news that her father was a pedophile only worsened her reputation, and nobody wanted to talk to her. 

But she was still the same aloof girl, not caring about what people said. 

She was accustomed to being alone, and Matt didn't want to break up with her.

Why?

Because Kate was very useful to do every homework he had to do. 

She always did his homework. Thus, even when he never studied, he could get a high rank, at least high enough for his parents to be satisfied. 

Of course, he took credit for everything.

Why would he give the credit to Kate? He kissed her, which was the biggest reward an ugly duckling like Kate could get from a handsome boy like him. 

He liked her because she was easy.

She was obedient and obeyed everything he told her to do.

She was sweet. Even though she wasn't as beautiful as other girls in high school, she was sweet and caring.

Lastly, her body was a bomb.

She had nice tits, nice hips, and a nice ass, all the things that a man wanted. 

"Heh, too bad that obedient woman is long gone now. She left me just because I can't give her the life she wants," Matt sneered. "A woman like that doesn't deserve to be pitied."

He began to think of a good way to threaten Kate.

"I know she's not in her old apartment anymore. I visited it twice after our last fight, and that apartment is shut. There is no sign of anybody there."

Matt knew that Kate was in hiding. He checked his chat with Kate to see if she still blocked his phone number.

But surprisingly, she had already unblocked him!

"Hah! This is so convenient!" Matt cheered. "I don't know why she unblocks me, but this is my chance to contact her and start threatening her with the newspaper clip!"

Thus, Matt texted her first before attaching the picture.

—

Matt: Hey, Kate, look at what I found. I bet you'll love this, knowing you must've cared so much for your reputation. 

Matt: *Picture attached*.

—

Matt smirked as he waited for an answer from Kate.

He expected Kate to respond immediately, begging him to delete the picture because she couldn't get her reputation at the office smeared.

Ding!

Matt didn't expect an instant response.

It seemed that Kate feared the news so much that she couldn't wait to beg.

—

Kate: Matt, please delete it. Don't tell anyone about it. I'm begging you!

—

Matt's smirk grew wider until it reached ear to ear.

"Finally, I can't wait to buy my game consoles back."
