225: Chapter 225

Chapter 225

Matt got confident after knowing that it was so easy to blackmail Kate, "Heh, no wonder Erin is so happy whenever she blackmails Kate. Turns out this woman, who acts arrogant and snobby, is actually a big coward who would cower in fear just because of a small threat."1

Matt didn't understand why he often got intimidated by Kate. 

True, she was very cold to him many times, especially when Matt asked for more money to buy more games for his consoles.

True, she often yelled at him, telling him to do the dishes or at least clean up his couch.

True, she often nagged him to get a job when he was in full focus when playing online games.

Kate was a dominating wife that wouldn't stop nagging and nagging just because he was unemployed.

"But why am I scared of her? What makes that ugly nerd freak from high school any different just because she gets her own money now?" 

Matt found himself ridiculous. 

He should've been taking control of the household before. So what if Kate was the sole breadwinner of the family? He was still the man. Therefore, he was the head of the house!

Matt's breath became heavy as he imagined how that arrogant face would cover him. It was a power fantasy he never got in his married life with Kate.

She had never been submissive to him, making him resent Kate so much. 

So now that he finally had the upper hand against her, he would abuse this advantage as much as possible!

Armed with his confidence, Matt decided to call her. 

It didn't take long for Kate to pick up the call, and his breath heaved as he imagined her fear. 

Damn, this power surging inside him was amazing!

"H—Hello?"

Matt could hear Kate's soft and meek voice as she picked up the call. She had always been condescending when they talked before as if she didn't want to waste her time with him.

But now, he wanted to make sure that he got ALL of her time. She HAD to handle this problem and constantly think about him!

"Did you see the picture I sent you before?" Matt asked.

"I—I did," Kate said pitifully. "Please, Matt, you're my husband. Why would you threaten me with the news of my father? He got arrested when I was a teenager. I have nothing to do with him. In fact, I was the one who reported him to the police. You know this already…"

"Oh, I do know that you were the one who reported him. I also know you don't want to be associated with him," Matt smirked. "But what's that got to do with me? I don't care if this news breaks out and everyone in your office knows that you're a daughter of a child rapist. I bet everyone will look down upon you, huh?"

"Please… I'm begging you, Matt. Please don't do this to me…" Kate sounded so pitiful, as if she was choking on her tears, much to Matt's joy. 

'Now I understand what makes it so delightful. I never understood why Erin tormented her sister before. But now that I am in control, I can feel the joy,' Matt thought. 'Hm, this is right. She has been an arrogant woman for so long. It's time to pull her down until she realizes she is still a woman, and no woman deserves to act like she's higher and better than me!'

"If you don't want your father's criminal record published in your company, then I want you to send me money. Send me at least ten grand as soon as possible, and your secret will be saved."

Kate gasped, "You… you're blackmailing me? Matt, I'm your wife! Why would you blackmail me like this?!"

"Shut up, bitch. You haven't given me any money for over two months, how do you think I will survive? I've been selling literally everything in the apartment, and I'm at my wit's end right now," Matt cursed. 

He was frustrated with his problem because he didn't expect his life to turn upside down just because he decided to sleep with Erin. 

He thought that Kate would eventually accept him sleeping with Erin. She could be the breadwinner of their family while he had a blissful life being serviced by two women and having a child without having to work at all. 

Unfortunately, this bitch decided to leave him. 

He was frustrated and angry, but he was happy that Kate was still weak-willed, at least weak-willed enough for him to get free ten grand. 

"I—Is this a one-time thing?" Kate asked. Her voice began to tremble as she held out her sobs. "If I give you ten grand, will you stop blackmailing me?"

"Heh, don't dream. I want you to send me ten grand every single month. I also want you to give me the key to your other apartment because this one is already empty, and I'm too lazy to fill it with furniture," Matt laid out all of his demands, thinking that Kate wouldn't dare to object to him anyway. "Lastly, I want you to return to me. I can't cook at all, and ordering delivery every day is sickening. I need a maid."

"I—I can't transfer you ten grand, but if you want to meet me in an hour, I can give it to you in cash," Kate said. "I'm sorry, Matt…"

"Why can't you just transfer it?" Matt rolled his eyes. He was not in the best physical appearance right now. He was unwashed, and his beard was dirty and messy. He also smelled horrible.

He couldn't take a bath for at least four days because they cut the water after Kate stopped paying for the water bill, and he prioritized food more than the water bill.

"Please, let's just meet in a restaurant. I want to talk to you as well…" Kate said. "I—I will pay for your lunch too, if that's what you want."

"Tsk, fine. Just tell me where you want to meet. I will be there. Don't forget to bring ten grand, or else…."

"I—I know. Don't worry. I will text you the address…"

Beep.
