00:00:05 Episode 1, The Richest Delivery Boy.
00:00:09 On a hot afternoon, the coffee shop on the corner of 4th Street in Sacramento was
00:00:14 buzzing with customers.
00:00:16 Hazelnut latte for Mr. Pierce, the female barista behind the counter shouted.
00:00:21 Here's your change, Mr. Pierce, said the barista, jingling and clanking the coins.
00:00:26 Thank you, miss, said the old man dressed in a black three-piece suit.
00:00:31 I'm here looking for Kevin.
00:00:33 I suppose he works here?
00:00:36 Kevin, someone at the counter for you, the lady barista shouted.
00:00:40 A young man dressed in his blue work clothes approached the cash counter.
00:00:45 Yes, Nina, who is it?
00:00:48 Mr. Pierce, Kevin is here,
00:00:50 Nina told Pierce as he turned towards Kevin standing right behind him.
00:00:55 Why are you here?
00:00:57 A shocked Kevin said, let's go out and talk.
00:01:01 Kevin opened the glass door of the cafe and asked Pierce in a stern voice,
00:01:06 what do you want?
00:01:07 I want you to come back, Mr. Bennett, said Bob Pierce.
00:01:11 You want me to return to the Bennett family?
00:01:13 Kevin couldn't believe the audacity Bob Pierce had to ask him this.
00:01:17 The unexpected conversation revealed Kevin's menacingly cold expression.
00:01:22 Yes, the old man clearly stated that the assets worth $300 million of the Bennett
00:01:28 family will all be placed under your control as long as you return to the family.
00:01:34 Bob spoke with the utmost respect towards Kevin Bennett.
00:01:37 $300 million?
00:01:40 Kevin burst into a peel of self-deprecating laughter before heaving a sigh.
00:01:46 The Bennett family does have a lot of money to spare, don't they, Bob?
00:01:50 Seeming to have noticed the ridicule in Kevin's words,
00:01:54 the old Bob Pierce asked helplessly, young man,
00:01:57 could you possibly still be brooding over the incident that took place three years
00:02:01 ago?
00:02:02 Taking Kevin's silence as an affirmation, Bob forced out a bitter smile and
00:02:07 continued, Kevin, the old man may have indeed been in the wrong during
00:02:11 the incident three years ago.
00:02:13 Ever since then, however, he's also paid a huge price for that matter.
00:02:17 Why don't you give him a second chance?
00:02:20 A second chance?
00:02:22 Kevin sneered with a hint of ridicule.
00:02:24 After all, why should Harvey Bennett get a second chance when he never even gave
00:02:29 Kevin's mother that exact option?
00:02:31 Having witnessed the death of his mother with his own eyes three years ago,
00:02:36 Kevin vowed never to extinguish the burning flame of rage within his heart.
00:02:42 Although the Bennett family possessed wealth and abundance,
00:02:46 Harvey Bennett refused to pay even a minuscule fraction of that wealth to treat
00:02:51 his mother's illness.
00:02:52 Despite begging like a dog in front of that despicable fiend,
00:02:56 he remained unfazed and held no intentions of saving his mother.
00:03:01 Even then, Harvey sought a second chance?
00:03:05 Thinking back to that incident, Kevin stood his ground and
00:03:09 shook his head with unspeakable ridicule.
00:03:11 Could it be that you intend to work as a waiter and
00:03:15 delivery boy for your entire life?
00:03:17 Bob Pierce sighed and asked after taking notice of Kevin's undying resolve.
00:03:22 During these past three years, after leaving the Bennett family,
00:03:25 Kevin married into the Wright family as a son-in-law.
00:03:29 He lowered his status greatly compared to his original life in the Bennett family.
00:03:33 Still, he had even been ostracized and
00:03:36 forced to endure the constant ridicule of the Wright family.
00:03:40 I would rather remain as a waiter, delivery man, or hell,
00:03:44 even a janitor than give up my life entirely, Kevin stated with a faint smile.
00:03:49 Bob Pierce replied with a slightly twisted expression.
00:03:53 Young man, what are you trying to say?
00:03:56 Nothing much, Kevin replied as he shook his head.
00:04:00 Mr. Pierce, you may go back now.
00:04:03 Tell Harvey and the entire Bennett family that I will return sooner or later.
00:04:07 However, I will be doing so for another reason, not because of the wealth.
00:04:13 Bob stood petrified in shock as he gazed at Kevin's leaving figure before
00:04:17 revealing a conflicted expression.
00:04:19 Along the way, Kevin kept pondering over his decision.
00:04:23 Ever since he was born, he had been living a comfortable life in the Bennett family.
00:04:27 Due to his identity as an illegitimate child, however,
00:04:30 he had always been looked down on and disregarded by the family members.
00:04:34 Even the family servants would not hesitate to scold and bully him.
00:04:38 Kevin originally thought he would keep living as a maggot in the Bennett family until he died.
00:04:43 Only until his mother fell ill three years ago did he truly understand that
00:04:47 the bastards of the family held no intentions of giving him the chance to be that very maggot.
00:04:52 On a certain night, when Kevin's mother fell extremely sick,
00:04:56 he knelt in front of the entire family like a dog and pleaded with them to save his mother.
00:05:01 However, no one helped mother and son.
00:05:04 Instead, everyone turned a blind eye to his pleading words.
00:05:09 In the end, his mother passed away from her illness.
00:05:13 Witnessing the death of his mother traumatized him for the rest of his childhood days.
00:05:18 At that time, he truly understood his place within the Bennett family.
00:05:22 From the perspectives of the members of the family,
00:05:25 the pair of mother and son were nothing but mere insects that held little to no value.
00:05:30 They did not even consider them humans.
00:05:33 After his mother's demise, Kevin decided to part ways with the Bennett family.
00:05:38 On that day, Kevin swore that he would return to the same family one day
00:05:43 and use absolute power to make every Bennett kneel in front of the mother's grave to repent.
00:05:49 His resolve, however, was nothing but mere words stated by a young child.
00:05:54 On the second day after leaving the Bennett family,
00:05:57 Kevin found himself in a predicament as he was chased by a group of thugs with intentions to murder him.
00:06:02 If he had not run into Alan Wright by pure coincidence,
00:06:05 he would have already been mutilated and turned into a corpse.
00:06:09 At that point, it was clear to him that Bennett family sent the thugs.
00:06:13 Kevin Bennett was nothing but a mere ant before the gorilla known as the Bennett family.
00:06:18 After becoming the son-in-law of the Wright family,
00:06:21 Kevin's days gradually began to calm down.
00:06:24 Even though he still had to endure the family's mocking gazes,
00:06:27 he managed to survive and live on as a human being.
00:06:31 While he may have wished to live in peace for the rest of his life,
00:06:34 the rain that withered into a small drizzle began pouring once more.
00:06:39 Despite their previous failed attempts at murdering him,
00:06:42 the Bennett family had come to find him again.
00:06:44 To his utmost surprise, the Bennett family offered him the chance
00:06:48 to inherit the wealth and become a multi-billionaire.
00:06:51 However, in the third generation of the great Bennett family,
00:06:54 more than a hundred adult males had the qualifications to inherit the throne.
00:06:59 Thus, it would be extremely difficult for an illegitimate child to inherit the Bennett family,
00:07:04 no matter how much support he would gather.
00:07:07 This was, without a doubt, a plot created against him.
00:07:11 After all, how could someone as despised as him in the past
00:07:14 suddenly be worthy of inheriting billions?
00:07:17 As the saying goes, an opportunity that sounds too good to be true
00:07:21 would most likely be too good to be true.
00:07:24 Kevin, just as Kevin was deep in thought,
00:07:27 a beautiful woman wearing a white dress suddenly called out his name from a distance.
00:07:32 In addition to her delicate features, she also possessed a tall yet slim figure.
00:07:37 While her body lingered with a graceful temperament,
00:07:39 she stood in the limelight amid the bustling city, looking breathtaking.
00:07:44 That woman was Kevin's wife, Claire Wright.
00:07:47 "Claire, what's wrong?"
00:07:49 After meeting up with Claire, a gentle smile appeared on Kevin's face.
00:07:53 No matter what he had gone through, his mood would, without a doubt,
00:07:57 improve as long as Claire existed in his presence.
00:08:00 In contrast to his bright smile, Claire revealed a rather cold expression.
00:08:05 She only glanced at Kevin before turning around and saying indifferently,
00:08:08 "Follow me to my aunt's house. It's Thanksgiving."
00:08:12 "Thanksgiving?" Kevin uttered with his mouth wide open.
00:08:16 He recalls that Claire had notified him yesterday about the Thanksgiving ceremony.
00:08:20 During that ceremony, it was a tradition for everyone in the Wright family to come together.
00:08:25 However, Kevin lowered his head and looked at his yellow clothes.
00:08:29 He could not help but feel awkward as he had just finished delivering the takeout.
00:08:33 Since his schedule was interrupted by the sudden visit of Bob Pierce,
00:08:36 he did not have the time to change his clothes.
00:08:39 Since Thanksgiving was an important event for the family,
00:08:42 he naturally could not participate in such shabby clothes.
00:08:45 "Claire, can you wait for me while I go home to change?" Kevin said in embarrassment.
00:08:50 Claire replied with a displeased expression.
00:08:53 "Why didn't you change beforehand?
00:08:55 Didn't I already tell you about the Thanksgiving gathering yesterday?"
00:08:58 "I forgot," Kevin muttered softly as he lowered his head like a child who made a mistake.
00:09:04 "Forget it. There's no need to change.
00:09:06 No one will be paying attention to you anyways.
00:09:08 We'll just have to go straight to my aunt's house.
00:09:10 Grandpa and the others are already waiting."
00:09:12 Claire said impatiently.
00:09:14 The longer she talked with Kevin, the more apparent the dissatisfaction in her words grew.
00:09:19 After all, how could Kevin forget about such an important matter?
00:09:23 "Fine," Kevin wanted to say something, but since Claire had already turned around and left,
00:09:28 he had no other choice but to follow her.
00:09:31 The Wright family was indeed a widely known family in the region.
00:09:34 After all, one of their ancestors, Thomas Wright,
00:09:37 once held the position of chief advisor to the leader of the Native American tribe.
00:09:41 Ever since he founded the Wright family, he had lived through more than 2,000 seasons of spring and autumn.
00:09:47 Even though the Wright family had declined significantly in recent years
00:09:51 and was no longer as grand as it once was during its former days,
00:09:54 no one dared to look down on them.
00:09:57 Thanksgiving always remained a time for the Wright family to gather together.
00:10:01 When they finally arrived at Claire's aunt's house,
00:10:03 Kevin noticed that several people had already been waiting inside.
00:10:07 Claire took a deep breath and walked towards the main gate.
00:10:11 Kevin followed behind, but he was suddenly obstructed by a big hand when he was just about to enter.
00:10:17 "Stop right there! Kevin, what are you going in for?"
00:10:21 A young man suddenly shouted.
00:10:23 That young man was one of Claire's cousins, Jack Wright.
00:10:27 At that moment, he had his arms arrogantly crossed in front of his chest.
00:10:31 His sinister intention was written all over his face.
00:10:35 "Am I not going to be part of family celebrations?" Kevin said as he looked at Jack in confusion.
00:10:41 Everyone in the Wright family was required to attend the feast.
00:10:44 Since he married into the Wright family, he would naturally be considered a part of it.
00:10:49 "Family?" Jack sneered.
00:10:51 "Which family are you even talking about? The ones inside are Wrights.
00:10:55 What does that have to do with you?"
00:10:57 His mocking words indicated how he saw Kevin as a mere outsider,
00:11:01 an unwanted attendee at the Thanksgiving dinner.
00:11:04 "Jack, what are you trying to say?" Claire questioned with a cold expression.
00:11:09 Jack shifted his gaze towards Claire and said cunningly,
00:11:12 "Nothing much. I was only telling him how outsiders and dogs are not allowed to enter the Wright family gathering."
00:11:19 If the things he said before were nothing but a mere taunt,
00:11:22 these words were certainly his attempt at humiliating Kevin Bennett.
00:11:26 Despite his ridicule, Kevin, having suffered much greater humiliation than this before, remained unfazed.
00:11:33 On the other hand, Claire fumed with rising anger.
00:11:37 After all, Kevin was her husband.
00:11:40 "Kevin is my husband. What right do you have to say that he is an outsider?"
00:11:45 "Your husband?" Jack laughed heartily as if he had heard some huge joke.
00:11:50 "Claire, are you treating this trash as your husband?
00:11:54 You've been married for three years, yet you haven't slept with him even once.
00:11:58 They had yet to sleep with one another despite being married for three years."
00:12:02 Hearing those words, many members of the Wright family revealed mocking grins on their faces.
00:12:08 At that moment, their gazes filled with ridicule shot toward Kevin like sharp daggers.
00:12:13 They could not comprehend how useless Kevin was to have not slept a single time with a beauty such as Claire,
00:12:19 on the same bed, even once during the past three years.
00:12:23 Could it be that something was wrong with that good-for-nothing brat?
00:12:27 Claire's expression changed drastically.
00:12:30 Indeed, she had been married to Kevin for three years, and let alone going to bed,
00:12:35 she had not even held his hand even once.
00:12:38 She originally thought that only a small portion of people within the family knew about this matter,
00:12:43 but now, it seemed she could no longer hide that fact.
00:12:47 "Claire, why don't you go in first? I suddenly remember that I have a takeout to deliver."
00:12:53 Kevin muttered and forced out a soft laugh.
00:12:56 He could certainly face the ridicule of the Wright family people directly,
00:13:00 but he did not want his wife to face the same embarrassment from being associated with him.
00:13:05 Noticing how Kevin feigned his response, Claire's heart ached for whatever reason.
00:13:10 Even after being married for three years, she had never treated Kevin as her husband.
00:13:15 Kevin nevertheless cared for her with his utmost abilities despite being treated so coldly.
00:13:22 Whether it was a windy or rainy day, Kevin would always pick her up at work on time.
00:13:27 Furthermore, whenever he noticed that she was having a bad day,
00:13:31 he would always try his best to brighten up her day with his gentle smile.
00:13:35 When standing in her presence, this man would constantly disregard everything thrown at him.
00:13:40 He would never show even a slight hint of anger, and he would do whatever he could to cater to her every need.
00:13:46 As time went on, she would naturally develop feelings for him.
00:13:50 As a layer of mist suddenly clouded Claire's eyes,
00:13:53 she could not help but wonder why Kevin would always treat her so well.
00:13:57 Kevin took a deep breath and turned around to leave.
00:14:00 He knew that if he continued to stand here, he would only be asking for humiliation.
00:14:05 However, just as he turned around and was about to walk away,
00:14:10 a resolute and decisive voice sounded out from behind him.
00:14:14 "The two of us will enter together!"
00:14:17 Kevin suddenly felt a soft and warm touch grasping his hand upon hearing those words.
00:14:24 Episode 2 - The Strange Car Accident
00:14:41 Upon hearing those words and witnessing her actions,
00:14:45 the members of the Bennett family stood petrified in shock.
00:14:49 Surely Claire did not have a fever.
00:14:52 Could her words mean that she won't be a part of Thanksgiving if Kevin isn't allowed to enter?
00:14:57 "Claire, are you going to betray your family because of an outsider?"
00:15:01 Jack questioned with a look.
00:15:03 He certainly never expected Claire to utter such brazen words for Kevin's sake.
00:15:08 One had to know that Thanksgiving existed as one of the most important activities in the Bennett family.
00:15:13 Every time the gathering took place, every member of the Bennett family would have to be present.
00:15:18 This was an ironclad rule.
00:15:21 Thus, the descendants of the Bennett family who refused to worship their ancestors during the ceremony would be seen as unfilial.
00:15:29 If Claire refused to enter the house today with Patriarch Logan Wright's temper,
00:15:33 he would most likely expel Claire from the Wright family.
00:15:36 It would be an understatement to describe this matter's nature as being serious.
00:15:41 "Claire, you should go in. Your cousin is right.
00:15:45 This is a traditional gathering only for Wright family.
00:15:48 I, who hold the surname Bennett, certainly do not have the qualifications to enter the house."
00:15:53 Kevin stated as he held on to Claire by her shoulders.
00:15:56 Kevin knew very well that either Claire or Jack had to back down from this matter.
00:16:01 Otherwise, both of them would have to face severe punishments.
00:16:04 But without a doubt, Claire would receive a much heavier punishment.
00:16:09 Kevin naturally did not want to see Claire being expelled from the Wright family because of him.
00:16:14 At this moment, he could only step forth and admit his defeat.
00:16:18 No matter how much humiliation he had to suffer, no matter how much he would be looked down upon,
00:16:24 Kevin was willing to do whatever he could to protect Claire.
00:16:27 For her sake, he would even let go of all his dignity.
00:16:32 "Kevin," Claire muttered softly as her eyes turned red.
00:16:36 She naturally understood the reason why Kevin had to compromise.
00:16:39 However, the more he acted this way, the more reluctant she became.
00:16:43 After all, she could not help but feel sorry for him.
00:16:47 "All right, I'm going to deliver the takeaway. Come back early tonight," Kevin said as he faked his relaxed tone.
00:16:54 After speaking, he turned around and went his way without ever looking back.
00:16:59 Even though he was severely humiliated by Jack, Kevin felt surprisingly calm.
00:17:04 He was even delighted.
00:17:06 After all, Claire had just stated how she would enter the gathering only if he were also allowed to go in.
00:17:12 This was the first time that Claire chose to stand by his side in three years.
00:17:17 It was the first time she had ever stood up for him.
00:17:20 Kevin felt that all the grievances he suffered were worth it upon hearing those words.
00:17:25 After delivering all the takeout, Kevin returned home and began preparing dinner.
00:17:30 After leaving the Bennett family three years ago, Kevin had to work on his culinary skills to gain Alan Wright's recognition.
00:17:36 Thus, he naturally became quite proficient with cooking.
00:17:40 According to Alan's words, "Men who could cook were good men."
00:17:44 Kevin managed to leave behind a good impression of himself for Claire at that time.
00:17:48 Thus, with Alan's support, he quickly became a son-in-law of the Wright family.
00:17:53 After his marriage, however, many contradictions slowly broke out.
00:17:57 As time passed, Alan's family business began deteriorating, which naturally caused his value to drop drastically.
00:18:04 Since Kevin did not have any talent in business, he could not help Alan whatsoever.
00:18:09 Thus, he resorted to delivering takeouts to make his living.
00:18:12 With the family business continuing to plummet, Kevin's mother-in-law, Eileen, naturally became more dissatisfied with him.
00:18:19 Thus, she's often scolded him for being useless and felt that Kevin was unworthy of Claire.
00:18:25 From then on, Kevin's life in the Wright family had only ever gone downhill.
00:18:30 Had it not been for Kevin, Claire, with her unparalleled beauty, would have no problem marrying into a rich family.
00:18:37 Kevin could not refute this, as he was an illegitimate child.
00:18:41 After all, he had no money and had not received any education.
00:18:45 Therefore, he could not compare himself to Claire, a beauty who had graduated from a famous university and was even praised as the school beauty during those years.
00:18:53 The only thing he could give Claire was his earnest feelings.
00:18:57 However, in a society where the strong rule over the weak, sincerity is often considered worthless.
00:19:03 After bringing the prepared dishes onto the table, Kevin could not help but feel something was wrong.
00:19:09 Usually, Alan and his wife would have already arrived back home at this hour.
00:19:14 Why were they so slow today?
00:19:16 At this moment, his phone suddenly rang.
00:19:19 "Kevin, dad got into a car accident."
00:19:23 At that moment, Kevin's expression turned pale.
00:19:27 It was indeed Claire's voice on the phone.
00:19:30 However, the words that sounded out left him in utter disbelief.
00:19:34 "My father-in-law got into a car accident?"
00:19:38 "Claire, don't worry. I'm on my way to the hospital right now."
00:19:42 Kevin hurriedly comforted her before hanging up the phone.
00:19:46 He then immediately rode his electric bike to the hospital.
00:19:50 Kevin found that Claire was sitting on a bench, crying silently when he arrived at the hospital.
00:19:55 On the other hand, his mother-in-law, Eileen, walked back and forth in front of the emergency room.
00:20:01 "What's going on?" Kevin asked anxiously as he walked toward Claire.
00:20:05 Before Claire could say anything, Eileen walked over and slapped Kevin.
00:20:10 Kevin's face instantly seared with pain.
00:20:13 "You still dare to ask what's going on?" Eileen shouted as her face rose with anger.
00:20:18 "You useless brat! Where did you go this afternoon? Why did you not pick Alan up from work today?"
00:20:24 Kevin stood petrified in shock. Normally, he would be the one to drive Alan home after work.
00:20:29 Alan once injured his leg and could not drive properly ever since.
00:20:33 Even after Alan was out of the Thanksgiving, he did not give Kevin a call.
00:20:38 Kevin thought that Alan would not be coming back today and forgot about picking him up.
00:20:43 "Mom, I'm sorry," Kevin said apologetically.
00:20:47 Although the accident did not happen because of him, he should have paid closer attention to Alan.
00:20:52 "Shove that 'sorry' up your ass! Don't you dare say that word!
00:20:56 Is your apology doing any good to me, you worthless brat?
00:21:00 You married into my family for three years, yet you have accomplished absolutely nothing!"
00:21:05 Eileen said hysterically as her mood crumbled.
00:21:08 "If anything serious happens to Alan this time, you better divorce my daughter and get the hell out of my family!"
00:21:15 Eileen's voice echoed through the halls and attracted the attention of many people.
00:21:20 But at this moment, Kevin could not care about losing face.
00:21:24 Alan was not only his father-in-law, but also his savior.
00:21:28 Kevin would not let anything happen to him.
00:21:30 "Who is the patient's family member?" a doctor suddenly walked over and asked.
00:21:35 "I am, I am." Eileen and Claire hurriedly went up to greet him.
00:21:40 "The patient is currently suffering from massive internal bleeding.
00:21:43 The condition is very serious and requires immediate surgery," the middle-aged doctor said with a solemn tone.
00:21:50 Eileen heard those words, nearly fainted on the spot as her vision darkened.
00:21:54 Claire's expression turned bleach-pale as if she had just seen a ghost.
00:21:58 "The surgery will be expensive, and the patient is not covered under any insurance," the doctor said.
00:22:04 "Doctor, please arrange the surgery as soon as possible. We can accept whatever the cost is," Kevin said.
00:22:11 "Alright, sign your name first. After doing so, pay the surgery fee over at the payment office."
00:22:17 As the middle-aged doctor spoke, he took out an agreement. Kevin then signed his name on it.
00:22:22 However, glancing through the surgery fees, Kevin's pupils contracted in shock.
00:22:27 Fifty thousand dollars? This was an astronomical figure!
00:22:32 Which surgery in this world required fifty thousand dollars to perform?
00:22:36 At that moment, Kevin felt that something was amiss.
00:22:40 With Alan's current financial situation, not to mention fifty thousand dollars, even five hundred dollars would be a strain on him.
00:22:48 Could they have made a mistake in their calculation for the surgery fee?
00:22:51 Kevin arrived at the payment office and hoped for that possibility.
00:22:55 But after asking at the payment office, the staff confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the surgery fee.
00:23:02 Fifty thousand dollars! Kevin's heart sank immediately.
00:23:07 Since he worked as a take-out delivery man, he would only be paid twelve hundred dollars.
00:23:12 Thus, he never imagined he would have to spend fifty thousand dollars all at once.
00:23:17 Furthermore, Claire's current condition was extremely serious. It was already too late to transfer him to another hospital.
00:23:25 Where would he even go to find the money?
00:23:27 Even if he asked for help from someone, would they even lend such a ridiculous amount to him?
00:23:33 Kevin was getting more and more frustrated by the second.
00:23:36 Never had he felt that money was so important.
00:23:39 "Young man!" A familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
00:23:43 Kevin immediately turned around, only to meet the gaze of Bob Pierce, who was looking at him with a smile.
00:23:50 In that split second, Kevin finally pieced the puzzle together.
00:23:54 "You were the one responsible!" Kevin shouted as he clenched his fists in anger.
00:23:59 At this moment, even an idiot would be able to discern that Bob was the one responsible for this accident.
00:24:06 The sudden car accident, the absurd surgery fee of fifty thousand dollars.
00:24:11 Every step was meticulously calculated.
00:24:14 This was all to make him return to the Bennett family.
00:24:17 Bob shook his head and said with a smile,
00:24:20 "Kevin, what are you talking about? I don't seem to understand."
00:24:25 Before Bob could even finish his words, Kevin had already thrown a vicious jab at his face,
00:24:31 resulting in the sudden burst of blood from the old man's nose.

00:24:41 Episode 3, "Ghost Servants"
00:24:44 [Music]
00:24:47 "Did you plot to hurt my father?" Kevin roared.
00:24:50 He never thought that the Bennett family would be crazy to such an extent.
00:24:53 And to let him regain his family, he used Alan's life to threaten him.
00:24:58 "Young man, you said so yourself. I didn't say anything."
00:25:02 Bob Pierce smiled slightly and said, "Fuck!"
00:25:06 Kevin punched heavily on the wall.
00:25:09 Although he wished he could kill Bob,
00:25:11 Kevin knew that the only one who could save Alan at this moment was Bob Pierce.
00:25:16 Without him, even if he could get fifty thousand dollars,
00:25:19 the hospital wouldn't save his father-in-law.
00:25:22 Furthermore, there was no way that he would have found such huge money.
00:25:27 This was an open and proper scheme, but Kevin had no choice but to jump in.
00:25:31 He could accept the fact that the Bennett family would not hesitate to use any means for him,
00:25:36 but he definitely would not allow Claire's family to be harmed.
00:25:40 "Boy, quickly, make the decision. Mr. Wright won't be able to hold on for long."
00:25:47 A peaceful smile appeared on old Bob's face.
00:25:50 From the beginning, he had gauged Kevin's weaknesses as it was too obvious.
00:25:55 That person was Alan Wright.
00:25:57 If Alan was harmed in any way, Kevin would lose his mind.
00:26:01 If Kevin had watched Alan die today,
00:26:03 then his relationship with Claire would have come to an end.
00:26:06 Bob was sure that Kevin would not make such a foolish choice.
00:26:10 Kevin smiled sadly.
00:26:12 He had made the right bet.
00:26:14 Even without Claire, he would not have let Alan die.
00:26:17 Alan had saved his life.
00:26:20 "Save him!"
00:26:21 Kevin's voice was terrifyingly cold as he made his decision.
00:26:24 "If anything happens to my father this time, I will destroy the Bennett family."
00:26:30 "Young man, the moment you were born,
00:26:33 the noble bloodline of the Bennett family flowed through your body.
00:26:37 Now, you have finally made the wisest decision.
00:26:41 Believe me, the Bennett family can give you far more than just billions of dollars."
00:26:47 His words revealed a deep sense of pride.
00:26:50 The Bennett family was known as the number one wealthy class in the capital,
00:26:55 and it was not as simple as having money.
00:26:57 The true power of the Bennett family was something that ordinary people could not even imagine.
00:27:02 Wise, Kevin clenched his teeth,
00:27:05 and a monstrous hatred could be seen in his eyes.
00:27:09 When a person is kind and gets bullied,
00:27:11 he would retreat time and time again.
00:27:14 In exchange, he gained an inch of advance in his Bennett family.
00:27:18 People of the Bennett family, they all thought Kevin was a dog,
00:27:21 came at once and left at once.
00:27:24 However, what they did not know was that dogs could bite if forced to do so.
00:27:28 At this moment, Kevin decided in his heart,
00:27:31 from today onwards, he will not retreat half a step.
00:27:36 Between him and the Bennetts,
00:27:38 if it's not you who dies, then it's me who dies.
00:27:42 He wanted Harvey Bennett to pay the price for his confidence.
00:27:45 Bennett family, you forced me.
00:27:49 Bob did not know what Kevin was thinking.
00:27:51 He took out the contract he had prepared a long time ago,
00:27:54 smiled at Kevin, and said,
00:27:57 "Kevin, this is the master's gift for you.
00:28:01 As long as you sign this, our family,
00:28:04 all the businesses in Los Angeles County, will be yours."
00:28:08 Kevin glanced at Bob coldly.
00:28:11 On the contract, there were different kinds of industries,
00:28:14 such as real estate, catering, communications,
00:28:17 entertainment, and the internet.
00:28:19 Almost all walks of life were involved.
00:28:22 A rough estimate is worth hundreds of billions.
00:28:26 It was also the first time Kevin heard how terrifying
00:28:29 the Bennett family of the number one wealthy class was.
00:28:32 Their property alone could fetch a grand sum.
00:28:35 Then all of America's businesses added up together.
00:28:38 He was truly as rich as a nation.
00:28:41 The more he understood, the more pressure Kevin felt.
00:28:45 However, the arrow was already at the tip of the bow.
00:28:48 Kevin had no other way out.
00:28:51 Even if he knew that Harvey had dug a hole for him,
00:28:53 he still had to jump down.
00:28:55 Kevin no longer hesitated and signed his name on it.
00:28:58 "Congratulations, young master.
00:29:00 From now on, young master is the richest man in Los Angeles County."
00:29:05 Bob Pierce bowed respectfully.
00:29:07 "Richest man in Los Angeles County?" Kevin laughed coldly in his heart.
00:29:12 For an ordinary person, becoming the richest person in an instant
00:29:16 would cause them to go crazy with joy.
00:29:18 However, Kevin did not think so.
00:29:21 If he could, he would rather live the life of an ordinary commoner with Claire
00:29:25 than become the richest person in the world.
00:29:28 But the Bennett family did not plan to give him this chance.
00:29:31 From the moment he accepted the business of the family in the state of California,
00:29:35 he could die at any time.
00:29:38 Watching Kevin leave, Bob took out his cell phone and dialed a number.
00:29:42 "Sir, he agreed," Bob said respectfully.
00:29:47 "Yes." The voice on the other end of the phone was indifferent,
00:29:51 obviously not surprised by this result.
00:29:54 "Stay at Beverly Hills during this time
00:29:56 and help him control the businesses as soon as possible."
00:30:00 "Yes, sir."
00:30:02 "Kevin, I will send a ghost servant to secretly protect him."
00:30:06 "Ghost servant?" Bob Pierce widened his eyes in shock.
00:30:10 He never thought that Harvey Bennett would send ghost servants to protect Kevin.
00:30:14 What exactly did this illegitimate child have on him?
00:30:18 Was it worth Harvey's caution?
00:30:20 It has to be said that the ghost servant was the most important force in the Bennett family.
00:30:25 Harvey Bennett once spent more than 30 billion overseas
00:30:29 on an island as the training ground for the ghost servant.
00:30:32 Then, from all over the world,
00:30:34 they would search for children with good foundations and nurture them from childhood.
00:30:38 Every child had to undergo hellish, cruel training.
00:30:42 Their instructors were either the current martial arts grandmasters or the head of assassins.
00:30:47 Every year, thousands of people enter the ghost servant's training camp,
00:30:51 but in the end, only one of them can become a ghost servant.
00:30:55 One could imagine how terrifying the ghost servants trained by the Bennett family were.
00:31:00 In front of the ghost servants, those so-called soldiers and famous assassins were just a joke.
00:31:06 Harvey had never thought of sending ghost servants to protect Kevin.
00:31:10 Bob was very clear that even Harvey's son didn't have the qualifications to be protected by the ghost servants,
00:31:16 but it just so happened that Kevin had the qualifications.
00:31:20 Bob was alarmed.
00:31:22 He knew that Kevin must have some unknown secret.
00:31:25 This secret held much more value than the billions of assets of the Bennetts.
00:31:30 After the arrangements by Bob, Alan's operation was completed safely.
00:31:34 Seeing that there were no problems with Alan, Kevin went out to buy two breakfasts.
00:31:39 Eileen and Claire had been waiting in the ward all night,
00:31:42 so they should be hungry by now, he thought.
00:31:44 Kevin carried breakfast and came to the door of the ward.
00:31:47 Just as he was about to open the door, he heard Eileen's voice from the ward.
00:31:52 "Claire, just divorce that Kevin after your dad recovers. You deserve better."
00:31:57 "Mom, I've said it many times. I won't divorce him."
00:32:01 Claire's long, shapely eyebrows creased slightly, and her voice sounded exhausted.
00:32:07 "You must get a divorce!"
00:32:09 Eileen's attitude was tough, and her tone was firm.
00:32:13 "Claire, since your childhood, I have never said no to anything that you asked for,
00:32:17 but this matter can't be discussed.
00:32:20 If you don't divorce Kevin this time, you will see a completely different side of me."
00:32:25 Claire stared blankly at Eileen.
00:32:28 She clearly understood that her mother was serious this time around.
00:32:31 Divorcing Kevin was something Eileen had proposed earlier also.
00:32:35 However, she would always give up as long as Claire shook her head.
00:32:39 However, this time, Eileen's attitude was surprisingly unyielding.
00:32:44 "Claire, it's not that I'm going to break you apart, but you're not a match.
00:32:48 Kevin is not worthy of you.
00:32:50 I knew it from the day he entered our house.
00:32:53 At that time, if it wasn't for your dad promising me that Kevin would have a future,
00:32:57 I would have never agreed to your marriage, even if I were beaten to death.
00:33:01 Now, three years have passed. Has Kevin ever done a decent thing?
00:33:05 And even now, he's still a takeout delivery man with a bare minimum salary of $1,200 per month.
00:33:11 Do you want to live with this kind of man for life?"
00:33:14 Kevin stood outside the door with a calm expression.
00:33:17 What Eileen said was the truth.
00:33:19 In the past three years, he had indeed not done anything decent,
00:33:23 nor did he give Claire any happiness.
00:33:25 Now it was Claire's time to make her decision.
00:33:28 No matter what decision she made, he would accept it, even if it was a divorce.
00:33:33 This time, he would leave, unrestrainedly.
00:33:37 Claire bit her pink lips as her beautiful eyes gradually turned red.
00:33:55 She knew what her mother said was right.
00:33:57 Kevin was not very promising, and her sense of reason also told her
00:34:01 that she should have left him a long time ago.
00:34:04 But every time she thought about Kevin's gentle and loving gaze on her,
00:34:08 her heart softened.
00:34:10 That's right. This man didn't have much potential,
00:34:13 but because of her unintentional stomach discomfort,
00:34:16 he would wake up early every day to cook porridge for her.
00:34:19 It had been three years, and he hadn't stopped for a single day.
00:34:23 This man didn't have much ability, but for three years, no matter how hard it was,
00:34:28 he would pick her up and take her to and from work every day,
00:34:31 watching her safely enter the company before leaving.
00:34:34 In these three years, this man had done too much for her.
00:34:38 Unknowingly, Claire's face was covered in tears.
00:34:42 "Claire! You haven't fallen in love with him, right?"
00:34:45 Looking at her daughter like this, Eileen's face was filled with disbelief.
00:34:50 Was this still her proud daughter?
00:34:52 Claire didn't say anything. She was already sobbing.
00:34:56 She did not know what to do.
00:34:58 Looking at Claire crying so much, Eileen's mind was in a mess.
00:35:02 She had never thought of this.
00:35:04 When Claire and Kevin were getting married, she strongly opposed it,
00:35:08 but she couldn't stop her husband.
00:35:10 She had no choice but to let the two of them be together.
00:35:13 However, Eileen understood her daughter,
00:35:15 and she was even more arrogant and proud than she was back then.
00:35:19 Therefore, Eileen was very confident that Claire would look down on a good-for-nothing like Kevin.
00:35:25 After two or three years, Claire will see through Kevin's essence
00:35:28 and would take the initiative to leave.
00:35:30 But this time, Eileen got the biggest jolt of her life.
00:35:35 Not only did her daughter not leave that good-for-nothing boy,
00:35:38 she even fell in love with him.
00:35:41 "Claire, Mom knows that Kevin is very good to you,
00:35:44 but you have to understand that the two of them have to live together
00:35:47 for the rest of their lives and consider a lot of things.
00:35:50 You can't just look at the other half to be nice to you," Eileen said.
00:35:54 "Mom, don't say anymore. I believe in him."
00:35:58 Eileen wanted to continue persuading her, but was cut off by Claire.
00:36:03 At this moment, Claire had already made up her mind.
00:36:06 No matter how useless this man was, she would never leave.
00:36:10 This was her life.
00:36:12 "Oh, Claire, you will regret it," Eileen sighed.
00:36:16 And from the look on her daughter's face,
00:36:18 Eileen knew that it didn't matter how much she said.
00:36:21 "Do you regret it? No. No. I won't let you regret it."
00:36:27 Outside, Kevin, who was listening to all this, clenched his fist.
00:36:31 "I believe Kevin."
00:36:33 The three words Kevin waited three years for.
00:36:37 "Claire, thank you.
00:36:39 From this moment onwards, even if the world makes you regret it,
00:36:43 I, Kevin Bennett, will not let you regret it."
00:36:47 Kevin turned around and left in big strides.
00:36:50 From now on, he had another task on his mind.
00:36:53 To make Claire the happiest woman in the world.
00:36:56 He wanted to let Eileen see that he was a good-for-nothing
00:36:59 and could also give his beloved woman happiness.
00:37:02 "Young master, do you have time now?"
00:37:05 The moment Kevin left the hospital, he received a call from Bob.
00:37:09 "What is it?" Kevin frowned.
00:37:12 He had already warned him yesterday
00:37:14 that he should not be disturbed if it is not a pressing matter.
00:37:17 He was, after all, seeking complete peace.
00:37:20 "Sir, I can see that you don't have a place to stay in Sacramento.
00:37:24 So, I decided to buy a villa for you
00:37:27 from Martin Henderson last night in Beverly Hills.
00:37:30 Mr. Bennett, if it's convenient for you,
00:37:33 you can come over now to take a look.
00:37:35 You have all the right to do that."
00:37:37 After he had called Harvey last night,
00:37:39 Bob knew that even if Kevin wasn't an illegitimate child,
00:37:42 he still wasn't someone he could afford to offend.
00:37:45 Thus, he spent the entire night buying a villa
00:37:48 with the best prime location as an apology to Kevin.
00:37:51 "Why is this even a point of discussion?"
00:37:54 Kevin thought and subconsciously wanted to refuse.
00:37:57 Even though he had acquired the wealth,
00:37:59 he didn't want to make it too public
00:38:01 as he preferred to keep a low profile.
00:38:03 He would rather be the son-in-law of the Wright family
00:38:05 than the richest man in Beverly Hills.
00:38:07 However, after hearing "Beverly Hills,"
00:38:10 Kevin changed his mind.
00:38:12 This was because Claire had once mentioned
00:38:14 that she liked the environment of Beverly Hills a lot
00:38:16 as she saw on television.
00:38:18 When she earned more money in the future,
00:38:20 she would buy a house in Beverly Hills
00:38:22 and then own a villa someday,
00:38:24 be in the center of the glamour world.
00:38:26 At that time, Kevin naturally couldn't afford
00:38:29 to buy a house in Beverly Hills,
00:38:31 not to mention a house.
00:38:33 On his salary, he couldn't even afford a rental.
00:38:36 Beverly Hills is home to many rich celebrities,
00:38:39 especially those from Hollywood.
00:38:41 The economy and tourism there are always booming.
00:38:45 The localities are filled with filthy expensive houses
00:38:49 and to own one, probably one of the biggest villas,
00:38:52 is itself a matter of pride.
00:38:54 It could be said that if he didn't have
00:38:57 the monetary backing of his family,
00:38:59 Kevin wouldn't be able to afford a room in LA
00:39:02 in his entire lifetime.
00:39:04 Being thick with Harvey Bennett,
00:39:06 he didn't even need Kevin to take the initiative to buy it.
00:39:10 Bob had already placed the villa in front of him.
00:39:13 "Fine, I'll take it as a present for Claire,"
00:39:16 Kevin sighed in his heart.
00:39:18 However, how to make Claire accept this gift
00:39:21 was a problem.
00:39:23 "All right, I will come over."
00:39:25 After thinking it through, Kevin agreed.
00:39:28 "Young master, I'll send a car to pick you up."
00:39:31 "No need, I'll go over myself."
00:39:33 Kevin didn't want any other favors from Bob.
00:39:36 "Yes, young master."
00:39:38 Bob didn't dare to say anything else.
00:39:40 Kevin decided to ride his electric bike
00:39:42 towards Beverly Hills.
00:39:44 The security in rich Beverly Hills was very good.
00:39:47 Even the average residential area had many guards.
00:39:51 Residents would not have to worry about their safety
00:39:53 if they lived in a place like this.
00:39:55 When they reached the villa,
00:39:57 the security became even tighter.
00:39:59 At the top of the hills, there were only nine villas.
00:40:02 In every villa lived a well-known figure of Beverly Hills,
00:40:06 Mayor of Beverly Hills, Lester Miller,
00:40:09 and the wealthiest of the city, Martin Henderson.
00:40:12 This was the gathering place
00:40:14 of the most powerful people within the city.
00:40:16 One could imagine the price one would have to pay
00:40:19 to buy a villa here.
00:40:21 It was impossible to do it just with money.
00:40:23 One would also need power.
00:40:25 Bob naturally had the strength to do so.
00:40:28 As the chief advisor of one of the wealthiest families,
00:40:31 Bob Pierce had to prove himself to Harvey and Kevin.
00:40:34 The Bennett family was capable of dominating the entire county.
00:40:38 "Hey, brat over there, stop right there!"
00:40:41 Kevin was stopped by a voice
00:40:43 just as he reached the entrance of the villa.
00:40:45 A group of security guards wearing black uniforms surrounded him.
00:40:49 Episode 5, A Security Issue
00:40:59 "What do you want?"
00:41:02 The tall and bulky security guard, who was in the lead,
00:41:06 stared at Kevin with unfriendly eyes.
00:41:08 "Looking for someone," Kevin answered honestly.
00:41:12 "Looking for someone?"
00:41:14 The black uniformed security officer smiled awkwardly and asked,
00:41:18 "Do you know where this is?"
00:41:21 "Beverly Hills?" Kevin said lightly.
00:41:24 "Motherfucker, if you know this place is called Beverly Hills,
00:41:28 and you still dare to come to find someone,
00:41:31 does anyone here know you?"
00:41:33 Guard Ronan Jenkins sneered.
00:41:35 Kevin's clothes didn't even add up to a hundred dollars,
00:41:38 and he was even riding an electric scooter for takeout delivery.
00:41:42 How could such a person be related to the people in the villa complex?
00:41:46 Kevin frowned.
00:41:48 He was too focused on keeping a low profile.
00:41:50 He didn't expect to run into a security guard
00:41:53 who looked down on people here.
00:41:55 Seeing that Kevin was silent, Ronan became even more arrogant.
00:41:59 He felt that he had seen through Kevin's true appearance.
00:42:02 "Kid, tell me, who are you looking for?
00:42:05 Mr. Lester Miller or our boss, Mr. Martin Henderson?
00:42:09 You look a bit lost."
00:42:11 "Kakper Worley and Martin were the two most famous people
00:42:14 in the entire Beverly Hills.
00:42:16 One was the mayor, and the other was the real estate tycoon.
00:42:19 There had been many people who had come up the mountain
00:42:22 saying that they knew two people,
00:42:24 but they had all been exposed and beaten by Ronan."
00:42:27 "I'm looking for Martin.
00:42:29 I bought a mansion from him.
00:42:31 I came to visit." Kevin sighed and said.
00:42:34 However, he was willing to give Ronan another chance.
00:42:37 If Ronan let him in, he could pretend that nothing had happened.
00:42:41 After all, he would be living here in the future.
00:42:44 "Hahahahaha!"
00:42:47 As Kevin expected, the response he got was an unbridled mockery.
00:42:52 Ronan laughed so much that he bent over with tears streaming down his face.
00:42:56 "Hahahahaha! Did you hear that?
00:42:59 This idiot said he bought a villa from our boss.
00:43:02 I'm going to die from laughter.
00:43:04 Is he stupid? Doesn't he know that the villas here,
00:43:07 even if it's a square meter, can't be bought even if they sold him?
00:43:10 If he can buy a villa here, I'll eat his electric scooter."
00:43:14 The few security guards were all laughing.
00:43:17 They had seen many Braggart people, but never saw someone like Kevin,
00:43:20 who would immediately say that he bought a set of Beverly Hills Villa.
00:43:24 This was no longer bragging, this was a fucking dream.
00:43:28 Kevin shook his head.
00:43:30 The reactions of the security guards in front of him
00:43:32 made him at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
00:43:35 Why did no one believe him these days?
00:43:38 "Alright, little brat.
00:43:40 Seeing that you're trying to make me laugh, I won't deal with you today.
00:43:43 Oh no! Go down the mountain.
00:43:45 This is not a place where you can come."
00:43:47 Ronan laughed and waved his hand.
00:43:50 Originally, according to his character,
00:43:53 they should at least beat Kevin up today
00:43:55 so that Kevin would know what it meant to be arrogant.
00:43:58 However, Kevin brought them joy.
00:44:00 Ronan felt that he could be merciful and let Kevin go.
00:44:04 At the same time, in a luxurious living room in the villa area,
00:44:08 Bob Pierce paced back and forth in front of the window.
00:44:11 Behind him stood a rough-looking man, and it was a suspicious sight.
00:44:16 The man's skin was dark, there were scars on his face,
00:44:19 and his hairstyle reminded Kevin of the Italian mafia from The Godfather.
00:44:25 The man was Martin Henderson.
00:44:27 "Mr. Bennett, when will young Master Bennett come over?"
00:44:32 At this moment, Martin was also a bit nervous.
00:44:35 After hearing yesterday that the successor of the Bennett family would come to his city,
00:44:39 he did not sleep for the night.
00:44:41 He did not know what character this young Master Bennett family had
00:44:45 and whether he was good or not.
00:44:47 Although others said he was the wealthiest in the city,
00:44:50 Martin was clear that he was only a figure in the land of Beverly Hills.
00:44:54 He was someone who could be considered a big shot in the city,
00:44:57 and his so-called wealthiest man was not even close to him.
00:45:00 "The young Master, he..."
00:45:02 Bob was also a bit worried, as the call ended more than an hour ago.
00:45:07 Logically speaking, Kevin should have arrived a long time ago,
00:45:10 but there was still no sign of him.
00:45:13 At this moment, his phone rang.
00:45:15 "Young Master, I'm at the door," Kevin hung up after saying that.
00:45:20 Bob's expression changed.
00:45:22 "At the door? Why didn't you come in?"
00:45:25 "Hey, brat, I told you to leave it, are you fucking deaf?"
00:45:29 Seeing Kevin not only refuses to listen to him,
00:45:32 but also dares to make a phone call in front of him,
00:45:34 Ronan immediately gets annoyed.
00:45:37 Kevin gave a faint smile and said, "You want me to leave it?"
00:45:40 "What, you still want me to help you get lost?"
00:45:43 Ronan sneered again and again as his fingers cracked.
00:45:46 As he spoke, he kicked Kevin's electric scooter.
00:45:50 The electric scooter was kicked into pieces.
00:45:52 "Kevin has been riding this electric scooter for three years."
00:45:56 Kevin frowned, and a trace of coldness flashed across his face.
00:46:00 "He rode this electric bike through the wind and rain
00:46:03 and sent it out for three years.
00:46:05 He had a relationship with the electric scooter.
00:46:08 Now it had been kicked by a security guard."
00:46:11 Kevin was instantly in a bad mood.
00:46:14 Ronan didn't care that much.
00:46:16 He called a few security guards and surrounded Kevin in the middle.
00:46:19 "Brat, if you don't want to get lost, then I'll help you get lost.
00:46:23 Come here. Obediently extend your face and let me slap you twice.
00:46:27 I will let you go down the mountain."
00:46:30 Ronan had an arrogant look on his face.
00:46:33 He felt that Kevin was like a fish on a chopping board
00:46:35 that could be slaughtered by him at will.
00:46:38 "Are you sure you want to slap me twice?"
00:46:40 Kevin smiled and walked toward Ronan.
00:46:42 "What? If I slapped you, what can you do about it?"
00:46:46 Ronan laughed and felt that the kid in front of him was more of an idiot.
00:46:50 Although he was only the captain of the security guards,
00:46:52 he was still a person of the family.
00:46:54 Just the name of the Martin family was enough to make Kevin unable to live on.
00:46:59 In this territory, even some of the officials and dignitaries would have to be polite.
00:47:04 If he did not have the order from the Martin family,
00:47:06 if he said that he was not allowed to enter,
00:47:09 then it would mean that he was not allowed to enter,
00:47:11 and no one would dare cause trouble.
00:47:14 With that, Ronan raised his hand and slapped Kevin's face.
00:47:19 However, this slap didn't land on him.
00:47:22 His hand was grabbed by someone and was immediately followed by a slap to his face.
00:47:27 Then, an extremely gloomy face appeared in front of him.
00:47:31 "Boss Martin?"
00:47:33 Ronan's mind exploded and he felt as if his tongue was stuck in a knot,
00:47:38 because the person who suddenly appeared in front of him
00:47:40 was the famous richest man in Sacramento, Martin.
00:47:45 "Boss Martin, why are you here?"
00:47:48 Ronan's voice trembled.
00:47:49 He was fully aware of how terrifying this was.
00:47:52 "Do you want to hit me too?"
00:47:54 Martin asked gloomily.
00:47:56 He was just thinking about how to curry favor with Kevin,
00:47:59 but in the blink of an eye,
00:48:00 his bodyguard blocked Kevin's path and almost got beaten up.
00:48:04 At this moment, Martin even had the urge to kill.
00:48:08 Episode 6 "An Alliance"
00:48:18 "Boss Martin, I'm so sorry."
00:48:21 Ronan Jenkins' eyes were filled with fear as he mumbled.
00:48:24 If he was going to hit Martin Henderson,
00:48:26 no matter how bold he was, Bennett would not dare to do it.
00:48:31 Martin Henderson slapped Ronan Jenkins hard on the face,
00:48:35 knocking him to the ground.
00:48:37 Then he turned around and bowed to Kevin Bennett respectfully and said,
00:48:41 "Sir, I'm sorry for scaring you."
00:48:44 His movements were done in one go.
00:48:47 There was complete silence.
00:48:48 The security guards rubbed their eyes in unison.
00:48:51 They could not believe what they had just seen.
00:48:53 The richest man in Beverly Hills bowed to a young man.
00:48:58 If this scene were to spread out,
00:49:00 the entire city would probably shake.
00:49:03 What exactly is the identity of this young man?
00:49:06 The few security guards felt their minds tremble
00:49:09 and their breathing became heavier than usual.
00:49:12 "He's too serious. I'm fine," Kevin smiled and said.
00:49:16 He didn't need anyone to say that he could recognize the person in front of him.
00:49:19 After all, he was the richest man in Sacramento.
00:49:23 Kevin often saw pictures in financial daily newspapers.
00:49:27 "Young Master Kevin, this was my negligence.
00:49:30 Please, be at ease.
00:49:32 Today, I will make those people who offended you pay the price."
00:49:37 A hint of viciousness flashed across Martin Henderson's eyes.
00:49:41 Ronan Jenkins and the rest had almost caused him to lose his life.
00:49:45 Naturally, he could not let them off lightly.
00:49:48 "President Martin, have mercy.
00:49:50 President Martin, I was wrong.
00:49:52 Please, let me go."
00:49:54 As soon as Martin finished his words,
00:49:56 Ronan and the security guards kneeled on the ground together,
00:49:59 tears streaming down their faces.
00:50:02 The price of Martin Henderson's words was not only them losing their jobs,
00:50:06 losing both their arms and legs was also light.
00:50:09 "Shut up!" Martin shouted coldly,
00:50:12 and the few of them immediately went silent.
00:50:15 Martin's expression was cold.
00:50:17 The reason he could turn from a poor kid into the current richest man in the city
00:50:21 was not that he only knew how to do business.
00:50:24 Since these people dared to offend Kevin Bennett,
00:50:27 they had to be prepared to pay the price.
00:50:30 Kevin narrowed his eyes.
00:50:32 He could tell that Martin was serious
00:50:34 and that Ronan Jenkins and the others would be severely punished.
00:50:37 "Forget it, Mr. Henderson," Kevin Bennett waved his hand and said.
00:50:41 "They didn't do anything to me.
00:50:43 Just let them go back to work.
00:50:45 If you feel sorry for me, you can deduct a month's salary from each of them
00:50:48 and treat it as punishment."
00:50:50 In the end, Kevin's heart softened.
00:50:53 Ronan Jenkins and the others were indeed at fault,
00:50:56 but it was not to the point of being ridiculous.
00:50:59 Kevin did not want to ruin the lives of Ronan and the others because of him.
00:51:03 After leaving Bennett family, in the three years he was a delivery boy,
00:51:07 Kevin Bennett understood many things.
00:51:09 For those at the bottom of society,
00:51:11 just being alive was sometimes very difficult.
00:51:14 Perhaps it was just a casual decision for him,
00:51:17 but for Ronan Jenkins and the others,
00:51:19 it was a decision that concerned their entire lives.
00:51:22 Martin Henderson was a little surprised,
00:51:25 but since Kevin had already said so,
00:51:27 he must agree with Kevin's opinion.
00:51:30 "Hurry up and thank young Master Kevin," Martin glanced at them coldly.
00:51:35 Hearing this, Ronan Jenkins and the others
00:51:37 hurriedly crawled in the front of Kevin Bennett to apologize.
00:51:41 Kevin didn't say anything.
00:51:43 He only hoped that, after this incident,
00:51:45 Ronan and the others would be able to learn their lesson.
00:51:48 Not everyone was as compassionate as he was.
00:51:51 Martin Henderson also heaved a sigh of relief.
00:51:54 Kevin Bennett's performance had surprised him quite a bit.
00:51:57 It was a huge difference compared to the other rich and powerful people that he had met.
00:52:01 Not only was Kevin not conceited,
00:52:03 but he also seemed to have an affinity with him.
00:52:06 If Bob Pierce hadn't told him this,
00:52:08 even he wouldn't have dared to believe that the person before him
00:52:11 was someone from the Bennett family.
00:52:13 And this person?
00:52:15 He was riding on an electric bike!
00:52:18 Martin Henderson couldn't help but look at the electric scooter
00:52:21 that was kicked into pieces with a weird expression on his face.
00:52:25 "Young Master, let's go in."
00:52:28 At this moment, Bob Pierce stood up with a smile.
00:52:32 Kevin nodded slightly.
00:52:34 Under Martin's lead, Kevin entered a villa
00:52:36 that had the style of a European castle.
00:52:39 The villa was elegantly decorated without losing any nobility,
00:52:43 and the jade white walls were refreshing.
00:52:45 Along the way, Martin Henderson introduced this villa to Kevin Bennett.
00:52:50 This villa had the best location in Beverly Hills,
00:52:53 and it had panoramic windows.
00:52:55 People living in this villa could enjoy the beautiful scenery of the hill
00:52:58 without going out.
00:53:00 The villa had an area of over 500 square meters,
00:53:03 with a swimming pool, gym, cinema, and small garden.
00:53:07 In short, all the high-grade facilities were available in this villa.
00:53:12 Martin had built this villa for his old age,
00:53:15 so it was not for sale.
00:53:17 However, after Bob Pierce expressed his wish to buy the villa yesterday,
00:53:21 Martin naturally did not dare to refuse
00:53:24 and sold the villa to Bob Pierce for the price of $8,000 per square meter.
00:53:29 Although it was called selling, it was more like giving it away,
00:53:33 because in terms of Beverly Hills,
00:53:35 even the most ordinary of residents would cost $16,000 per square meter.
00:53:40 This villa had the best location and scenery.
00:53:43 Even if it was priced at $500,000 per square meter,
00:53:47 countless people would rush to buy it.
00:53:50 Kevin Bennett was very satisfied with this villa.
00:53:52 He believed that his wife, Clara Wright, would be very happy if she lived in it.
00:53:57 "Young Master Kevin, it's getting late.
00:54:00 I have prepared a luncheon at home.
00:54:02 Would it be an honor if you could join and give me a chance to apologize?"
00:54:06 After taking Kevin Bennett to look at the villa,
00:54:08 Martin Henderson asked tentatively.
00:54:10 Although Kevin Bennett had already said that he didn't care about Ronan Jenkins and the others,
00:54:15 Martin Henderson was still a bit nervous,
00:54:17 afraid that Kevin Bennett would think too much into it after returning.
00:54:21 "President Martin, you're too polite.
00:54:24 What happened before is already in the past.
00:54:27 I won't take it to heart.
00:54:28 But I will develop my residence in the future,
00:54:31 so I might have to trouble you to take care of me,"
00:54:34 Kevin Bennett said with a smile.
00:54:36 From the moment he took over the business of the Bennett family,
00:54:39 he had to interact with their rich and powerful families there.
00:54:42 Martin Henderson was a smart person.
00:54:44 If possible, Kevin wanted Martin to be his trusted aide.
00:54:48 "Ha! Young Master Kevin, you must be joking.
00:54:53 I dare not to take care of you.
00:54:55 In the future, if you need anything, just tell me.
00:54:59 I will do my best to help."
00:55:01 Martin laughed heartily.
00:55:03 Kevin smiled and did not say anything else.
00:55:06 He was not stupid enough to believe Martin's words.
00:55:09 The world was bustling with noise and excitement.
00:55:11 It was all about profits.
00:55:13 If he did not have Bennett family,
00:55:15 a person like Martin Henderson would not even look at him.
00:55:19 "Oh, right, Mr. Henderson.
00:55:21 I see that Beverly Hills is quite big.
00:55:23 Aside from this villa area,
00:55:25 there are also many other places with very beautiful scenery and geographical location."
00:55:30 "Why doesn't President Martin consider continuing to develop it?"
00:55:33 Kevin Bennett suddenly asked.
00:55:35 In 1919, Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford
00:55:39 bought land on Summit Drive and built a mansion,
00:55:42 finished in 1921 and nicknamed "Pickfair" by the press.
00:55:46 The glamour associated with Fairbanks and Pickford,
00:55:49 as well as other movie stars who built mansions in the city,
00:55:52 contributed to its growing appeal.
00:55:54 However, because of the area the Beverly Hills occupied too,
00:55:58 it was extremely difficult to develop it,
00:56:00 so it required an extremely high investment of funds.
00:56:04 It was said that Martin Henderson had invested all of his financial resources
00:56:08 and had only developed less than a quarter of his Beverly Hills.
00:56:12 Facing this bottomless pit, Kevin Bennett had an idea.
00:56:16 [Music]
00:56:26 Episode 7 "Man in Blue"
00:56:30 "Young Master Kevin,
00:56:32 it seems that you don't understand the situation with Beverly Hills."
00:56:35 Martin Henderson laughed bitterly and said,
00:56:38 "Actually, I want to develop my Beverly Hills more than anyone else.
00:56:43 After all, I have borrowed the power of my community to make it to this point,
00:56:49 and it would not be an exaggeration to say that the people are supporting me.
00:56:54 However, Beverly Hills is too big, and real estate is still risky.
00:56:59 Even after ten years of relying on the strength of my entire Henderson family,
00:57:04 I still haven't managed to develop more than a quarter of it.
00:57:07 So for the remaining three quarters, I would not even dare to think about it."
00:57:12 Kevin smiled but did not say anything.
00:57:14 From Martin's words, he could tell that Martin Henderson also wanted to develop Beverly Hills,
00:57:19 but he was alone and did not have such a big appetite.
00:57:22 "President Martin, what if you include me?"
00:57:25 Martin Henderson didn't have such a big appetite, but he does.
00:57:29 Or perhaps the Bennett family behind him could do it.
00:57:32 Kevin also brought up his real goal.
00:57:35 To develop Beverly Hills was only one aspect.
00:57:37 More importantly, Kevin Bennett wanted to use this opportunity to test the bottom line of the Bennett family.
00:57:44 Beverly Hills was an excellent opportunity.
00:57:47 Ten billion wasn't much to the Bennett family, but it wasn't a small amount.
00:57:51 He wanted to see how much this Bennett family was willing to pay for him.
00:57:55 Martin Henderson's expression changed.
00:57:57 He did not expect Kevin to be so bold, daring to touch the bottomless pit called Beverly Hills when he just arrived.
00:58:04 Martin naturally did not know about the subtle relationship between Kevin Bennett and the Bennett family.
00:58:10 If he knew that Kevin Bennett invested in Beverly Hills and did not even think about earning money, he would probably cry.
00:58:17 "Young Master Kevin, if you are truly willing to invest, then this matter will be completed."
00:58:23 Martin Henderson's face lit up as he quickly replied.
00:58:27 Developing Beverly Hills was not only a matter of funding, but also a matter of technology, resources, and many other things.
00:58:34 However, if Kevin Bennett were to join, then many of the problems would be easily solved.
00:58:40 After all, the people standing behind Kevin Bennett were the Bennett family.
00:58:44 With the Bennett family, forget about a single Beverly Hills, even if there were ten of them, they would probably still be able to take it down.
00:58:51 This was because those big shots not only represented wealth, but also power.
00:58:56 Looking at Martin Henderson's moved expression, Bob Pierce was calm on the surface, but his heart was full of bitterness.
00:59:03 He wanted to shout to Martin Henderson, "Kevin is setting up a trap! You better not jump in!"
00:59:08 However, he did not dare to say that because Harvey Bennett had warned him before.
00:59:13 No matter what, he could not let anyone else know about the true relationship between Kevin Bennett and the Bennett family.
00:59:19 Kevin Bennett also saw this point, so he was confident.
00:59:23 Bob Pierce smiled bitterly.
00:59:25 Last night, he had made Kevin Bennett suffer a loss with the help of his $5 million operation fee.
00:59:31 This morning, Kevin Bennett set a trap for him.
00:59:34 A trap worth nearly $50 billion.
00:59:37 This was the warning Kevin Bennett gave him.
00:59:40 Bob Pierce's expression became more complicated.
00:59:43 He suddenly felt that he couldn't see through this abandoned young master in front of him.
00:59:47 "Then, do you mind cooperating with me?" Kevin asked with a smile, like an old fox.
00:59:53 "It's my honor to work with young master Kevin."
00:59:57 Before this, he had been thinking about how he could establish a relationship with Kevin, and how he could hug Bennett's family's thighs.
01:00:04 Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Kevin Bennett threw him an olive branch.
01:00:09 How could Martin Henderson refuse?
01:00:11 "I hope that we can cooperate happily." Kevin squinted his eyes and stretched out his hand with a smile.
01:00:17 Two big hands tightly gripped onto each other.
01:00:20 The largest investment project in the history of Los Angeles County was born.
01:00:24 No one knew that this investment project was only Kevin Bennett's first step against Bennett family.
01:00:29 Bob Pierce, who was at the side, couldn't help but to sigh and secretly feel sorry for his patriarch.
01:00:35 As for the details of the cooperation, it was naturally Bob Pierce's responsibility.
01:00:40 As the one in charge, Kevin Bennett only needed to fix the general direction.
01:00:45 After the Henderson family finished eating, Kevin quickly went down the hill.
01:00:50 He wanted to pick Claire Wright up from work, as it had already become Kevin's habit.
01:00:54 After Kevin left, Martin narrowed his eyes and said to his men,
01:00:58 "Joe, go investigate this Kevin Bennett. I want to know all his information.
01:01:02 Remember, you must conduct an investigation secretly. Don't let him find out."
01:01:07 "Yes, Master Martin."
01:01:09 "Ah." Joe respectfully nodded and left.
01:01:13 A serious expression flashed across Martin Henderson's face.
01:01:16 Since he was able to change from a ruffian into a richest man in the city,
01:01:20 it was natural that he was a scheming person.
01:01:23 From the first moment Martin Henderson saw Kevin Bennett, he realized that Kevin was not simple.
01:01:29 He was not the arrogant and conceited young master that he had met before.
01:01:33 On the contrary, the young Bennett was very smart, acting like he had no logic, but in fact, he was very calculating.
01:01:40 It even made Martin Henderson feel like he was dealing with a tiger.
01:01:44 Therefore, Martin Henderson naturally had to investigate what kind of person Kevin was.
01:01:49 "Phil, go to the garage, take out the car I carried a few days ago, and give it to young master Kevin,"
01:01:55 Martin Henderson instructed again.
01:01:57 He was very clear that for people like Kevin Bennett, the face was more important than anything.
01:02:02 The security guard under his hand had not only destroyed an electric scooter,
01:02:06 but he had also destroyed Kevin Bennett's face.
01:02:09 Therefore, even though Kevin Bennett had indicated that he would not pursue the matter,
01:02:14 Martin Henderson was still a bit worried.
01:02:16 He wanted to please Kevin by giving him a luxurious car,
01:02:19 so the matter regarding Ronan Jenkins could be completely resolved.
01:02:23 Thinking of this, Martin Henderson could not help but feel his heart ache.
01:02:28 If that idiot Ronan Jenkins didn't kick out Kevin Bennett's electric scooter,
01:02:33 then he wouldn't need to give Kevin Bennett his $20 million super luxurious sports car as an apology.
01:02:40 The only person in the world who traded an electric scooter for a luxurious sports car was probably Kevin Bennett.
01:02:47 Martin Henderson even had the heart to kill Ronan Jenkins now.
01:02:51 Kevin did not know that Martin had been thinking so much after he left.
01:02:55 If Kevin Bennett knew about this, he would be grinning from ear to ear.
01:02:59 Martin Henderson was too cautious.
01:03:01 US Bank Tower was the tallest building in Sacramento City,
01:03:05 and it was also the headquarters of Wright Family Company.
01:03:08 It was noon.
01:03:09 Claire Wright was standing at the entrance of the building.
01:03:11 She had looked at the entrance of the company several times, but still didn't see Kevin.
01:03:16 Usually, Kevin was very punctual.
01:03:18 As long as she left work, he would stand by the door unmoving, waiting to pick her up.
01:03:23 Why was it late today?
01:03:25 "Isn't this our great beauty, Wright?
01:03:28 Are you waiting for Kevin to come to ride his electric scooter to pick you up?"
01:03:32 A sinister voice sounded from behind Claire Wright frowned.
01:03:35 She didn't need to turn around to know that the person behind her was her cousin.
01:03:40 Claire didn't say anything.
01:03:42 She had a bad relationship with her since she was young.
01:03:45 When she grew up, Taylor Wright had repeatedly caused trouble for her.
01:03:49 Taylor Wright wore a red bohemian dress with delicate makeup on her face.
01:03:54 Although her face could be considered pretty, it was still inferior to Claire Wright.
01:03:59 Seeing Claire ignore her, Taylor did not get angry.
01:04:02 Instead, she sighed.
01:04:05 "I feel that our fate is a bit strange at times.
01:04:08 When we were young, you were the prettiest girl in our Wright family,
01:04:12 and our grandfather said that in the future,
01:04:14 you would marry a rich family boy wearing a blue tuxedo
01:04:17 and become the happiest girl in our Wright family.
01:04:20 You didn't let Grandpa down.
01:04:22 You did marry a man wearing a blue outfit,
01:04:25 but unfortunately it's not a tuxedo.
01:04:27 It's his work outfit, and he's a delivery boy.
01:04:30 Ha ha ha!"
01:04:32 Episode 8 A Loud Slap
01:04:43 Claire Wright pursed her lips tightly, not saying a word.
01:04:47 She knew that Taylor Wright had always been brooding over the matter
01:04:50 of her being the number one beauty in the Wright family,
01:04:53 so as long as she found the chance, she would ridicule her.
01:04:57 Claire had long since gotten used to it.
01:04:59 Claire remained silent while Taylor became even more proud of herself.
01:05:03 "Claire, when will Kevin buy a car for you?
01:05:06 He can't possibly let you ride in the back of an electric scooter
01:05:09 every day under such hot weather.
01:05:12 Life is too hard for you."
01:05:14 "Does it have anything to do with you?"
01:05:16 Claire glanced at Taylor in disgust.
01:05:19 The corner of Taylor's mouth lifted as she pretended to have understood.
01:05:23 "I'm sorry, Claire. I forgot that Kevin is a delivery boy.
01:05:27 His salary is very low.
01:05:29 If nothing goes wrong, he won't be able to afford a car in his entire life."
01:05:34 Claire gritted her teeth in anger.
01:05:36 Taylor belittled Kevin in front of her, which made her angry.
01:05:39 However, she couldn't refute it because what Taylor said was the truth.
01:05:43 Kevin Bennett's salary, not to mention buying a car,
01:05:46 just maintaining a normal life was difficult.
01:05:49 "Claire, how about you don't let Kevin deliver takeout
01:05:52 and let him work under my husband?
01:05:55 My husband's company has been recruiting security guards recently
01:05:58 and the salary is not bad.
01:06:00 At least it's better than delivering takeout.
01:06:03 Kevin Bennett can still hope to buy a car after working hard for
01:06:07 eight to ten years."
01:06:09 Taylor sneered.
01:06:11 Unlike Claire, she had a good husband.
01:06:13 Her husband was the HR manager of the company at such a young age.
01:06:17 His salary was a million dollars a year,
01:06:19 so she was very confident in front of Claire every time.
01:06:24 Claire Wright simply turned her head away, not looking at Taylor Wright.
01:06:28 Taylor snorted disdainfully, but Claire ignored her.
01:06:31 There was no point in continuing to mock Claire.
01:06:34 At this moment, a black Audi A8 drove into the company's main entrance.
01:06:39 Behind the Audi A8, there was also a Toyota 4Runner.
01:06:43 Taylor was very happy to see the Audi A8.
01:06:46 "Claire, my husband came to pick me up.
01:06:49 Stay here and bask in the sun."
01:06:51 Taylor walked toward Audi A8 with a complacent look on her face.
01:06:55 Claire bit her lips as she glanced at Taylor Wright.
01:06:58 It was impossible for her to not be jealous.
01:07:01 Taylor's husband would come to pick her up every day in an Audi A8
01:07:04 of nearly one million,
01:07:06 while her husband could only ride an electric bike.
01:07:09 Sometimes when it rains, they get wet.
01:07:12 The black Audi stopped in front of the company's entrance
01:07:15 and the window slowly rolled down,
01:07:17 revealing Derek Smith's handsome face.
01:07:20 "Hubby!"
01:07:21 Taylor Wright rushed forward and kissed Derek Smith on the cheek.
01:07:25 "Taylor, get in the car."
01:07:27 Derek Smith smiled and glanced at Claire.
01:07:30 A trace of amazement flashed in the depths of his eyes.
01:07:33 Three years had passed, and Claire was still as beautiful as ever.
01:07:37 Not only did years not leave any traces on her face,
01:07:40 they even added to her mature charm.
01:07:42 Next, he looked at Taylor beside him.
01:07:45 Although she looked pretty with thick makeup,
01:07:47 she was on a completely different level compared to Claire,
01:07:50 who was as beautiful as the moon.
01:07:52 "Only I was a step earlier than that trash,"
01:07:56 Derek Smith thought in his heart.
01:07:58 Three years ago, the person he had first taken a fancy to was Claire,
01:08:02 not Taylor.
01:08:04 However, just when he was about to pursue Claire,
01:08:07 the news suddenly came out that Claire was married.
01:08:10 Claire Wright was married to a delivery man.
01:08:12 At that time, Derek Smith felt that the sky had fallen.
01:08:16 However, what had happened had left him with no other choice.
01:08:20 Helpless, he could only choose Taylor.
01:08:23 However, in his heart, he had never been able to let Claire go.
01:08:27 Even after he heard that Claire wasn't living happily ever after,
01:08:30 she got married.
01:08:32 He had thought of divorcing Taylor Wright and once again pursuing Claire.
01:08:36 However, this sort of thing could only be imagined.
01:08:39 Derek Smith sighed and was about to leave
01:08:41 when he saw a familiar figure in the rearview mirror.
01:08:44 "Why is he here?" Derek Smith smiled playfully.
01:08:48 "Claire, I'm sorry I'm late."
01:08:50 Kevin Bennett got out of the taxi,
01:08:52 wiped the sweat from his forehead, and headed straight for Claire.
01:08:55 "I'm fine."
01:08:57 Realizing that Kevin didn't ride an electric bike today,
01:09:00 a hint of doubt flashed across Claire Wright's eyes,
01:09:02 but she didn't say anything.
01:09:04 "Let's go back." Kevin Bennett laughed.
01:09:07 "Kevin, where's your scooter?"
01:09:10 Taylor's sinister voice sounded.
01:09:12 In the past, when Kevin Bennett came to pick up Claire Wright,
01:09:15 he would at least ride an electric bike.
01:09:17 Today, he didn't even have an electric bike.
01:09:20 Could it be that they were ready to walk?
01:09:22 Kevin narrowed his eyes and said lightly,
01:09:25 "Does it have anything to do with you?"
01:09:27 He knew that Taylor did not like Claire,
01:09:29 so he would not give her any face.
01:09:31 Taylor was speechless.
01:09:33 They were indeed husband and wife,
01:09:35 and with the words, they said we were all the same.
01:09:38 However, she was polite to Claire and not Kevin.
01:09:41 "How can you speak like that?
01:09:43 You have no rules.
01:09:45 Do you not know that I'm your cousin?
01:09:47 No manners."
01:09:49 "Taylor, be civilized when you speak."
01:09:52 Before Kevin could say anything,
01:09:54 Claire already stood up with a cold expression.
01:09:56 "What's wrong?
01:09:58 Kevin is trash.
01:09:59 Why aren't you letting people criticize him?"
01:10:01 Before Taylor could finish her sentence,
01:10:03 a handprint appeared on her face.
01:10:06 Taylor was stunned.
01:10:08 Derek Smith was stunned, and Kevin was also stunned.
01:10:11 Only Claire gritted her teeth and said with a cold expression,
01:10:14 "You're not allowed to say he's trash again."
01:10:18 She was hit.
01:10:20 Taylor Wright was stunned.
01:10:22 "Stinking bitch!
01:10:24 I'll kill you!"
01:10:26 After recovering from her shock,
01:10:28 Taylor screamed and pounced on Claire with bloodshot eyes.
01:10:31 At this moment, Kevin couldn't stand there and watch any longer.
01:10:35 He quickly protected Claire behind him.
01:10:37 Derek Smith also walked over with a gloomy face.
01:10:40 He originally wanted to go back and help,
01:10:42 but when he saw the tall Kevin Bennett,
01:10:44 he stopped and pulled Taylor back.
01:10:46 If they were to fight,
01:10:48 Derek knew that he would have no chance of winning against Kevin,
01:10:51 who had been training all year round.
01:10:53 Thus, Derek did not want to lose face here.
01:10:56 "Derek Smith, what are you pulling me for?
01:10:59 This bitch beat your wife.
01:11:00 You're not helping me, but you're even pulling me?"
01:11:03 Taylor Wright screamed hysterically without a trace of elegance.
01:11:07 This scene attracted quite a few employees to watch.
01:11:10 Derek Smith's expression was as dark as water,
01:11:13 and he felt very ashamed.
01:11:15 "Enough!"
01:11:16 Derek Smith pulled Taylor Wright and glared at her viciously.
01:11:19 "Claire Wright hit me!"
01:11:21 Kevin Bennett's expression turned cold.
01:11:24 He suddenly walked forward and slapped Taylor Wright.
01:11:27 He didn't mind Taylor Wright calling him trash,
01:11:30 but if she insulted Claire,
01:11:31 he definitely wouldn't allow it.
01:11:33 His slap was much heavier than Claire Wright's earlier one.
01:11:37 A few handprints appeared on Taylor Wright's face.
01:11:40 "Kevin, you useless trash!
01:11:42 If you dare to hit me, and Claire dares to hit me,
01:11:44 you dare to do it too?
01:11:46 I'll fight you to the death!"
01:11:48 Touching her burning face, Taylor went completely crazy.
01:11:52 She immediately got rid of Derek Smith and pounced on Kevin Bennett.
01:11:56 Taylor Wright was petite, but she was no match for Kevin Bennett.
01:12:00 He slapped her again and again,
01:12:02 almost causing her to faint on the spot.
01:12:04 "Hubby, hubby, he hit me!
01:12:06 I'm not going to live!"
01:12:08 Taylor was on the verge of collapse.
01:12:10 "If you can't control your stinky mouth any longer,
01:12:13 I don't mind breaking it," Kevin said coldly.
01:12:16 The cold glint in his eyes made people believe that he would do that.
01:12:20 This scene stunned many people nearby.
01:12:23 Even Derek Smith and Claire Wright were stunned.
01:12:26 Episode 9 The Luxurious Ride
01:12:35 "Kevin Bennett! What are you doing?"
01:12:39 Derek Smith wanted to rush up and beat up Kevin,
01:12:42 but he retreated when he saw Kevin Bennett's eyes.
01:12:45 Now that his wife had been beaten up,
01:12:47 he had no choice but to help her.
01:12:49 After stuttering for a long time, he finally yelled,
01:12:52 "K-Kevin Bennett! You-you're useless trash!
01:12:55 How can you hit a woman? Are you even a man?"
01:12:59 "I don't hit women. But is Taylor a woman?"
01:13:02 Kevin Bennett sneered.
01:13:04 "I've wanted to tear off her stinky mouth for a long time.
01:13:07 It's just a warning this time.
01:13:09 If there's a next time, it won't be so simple.
01:13:12 And you, if you are unconvinced, come and find me at any time.
01:13:16 However, if I find out that you guys are secretly taking revenge on Claire,
01:13:20 I don't mind sending you to hell."
01:13:22 Derek Smith's expression changed.
01:13:25 He didn't know why, but he felt a terrifying aura coming from Kevin Bennett.
01:13:29 Derek even smelled danger, and he was a little scared.
01:13:33 He couldn't help but suspect,
01:13:35 "Was this person still the useless trash Kevin Bennett from before?"
01:13:39 After Kevin Bennett said this, he walked over to Claire Wright and smiled.
01:13:44 "Claire, let's go home."
01:13:47 "Yes!" Claire Wright nodded obediently.
01:13:50 She was also surprised by Kevin Bennett's performance today.
01:13:53 She even felt that Kevin Bennett had become a completely different person
01:13:57 when he said those words just now.
01:13:59 She could not understand.
01:14:01 Fighting someone and threatening them
01:14:03 was not something Kevin Bennett could do in the past.
01:14:06 However, what made her secretly happy
01:14:09 was that everything Kevin Bennett did was for her.
01:14:12 They had just taken a few steps when an ear-piercing boom came from afar.
01:14:16 A few seconds later, a black car appeared in front of them.
01:14:20 [car engine revving]
01:14:22 The deep sound waves caused people's eardrums to vibrate.
01:14:25 [car engine revving]
01:14:29 The technological feeling of the streamlined car was dazzling in the sunlight.
01:14:33 The black super run gave off a soul-stirring aura like an emperor.
01:14:38 In just an instant, everyone's line of sight was attracted by the black bolt of lightning.
01:14:43 In front of this black lightning, everything seemed to lose its luster.
01:14:48 "Bugatti La Roi de l'Union!"
01:14:50 [car engine revving]
01:14:52 "One of the most expensive cars in the world!"
01:14:55 Those who understood cars cried out in alarm and gasped for breath.
01:15:00 However, even more people were staring unblinkingly at the black lightning.
01:15:05 They wanted to know why such a car would appear in the Wright family company.
01:15:09 Taylor Wright, who was still yelling, immediately stopped crying.
01:15:14 Her face was nervous because the swanky black car was heading in their direction.
01:15:19 It stopped.
01:15:20 It stopped!
01:15:22 Taylor Wright's breathing became more rapid.
01:15:25 Derrick Smith also swallowed his saliva.
01:15:28 The door opened, and a man in a flowery shirt got out and walked toward them.
01:15:33 Derrick took a deep breath and started to think rapidly,
01:15:37 recalling if he had seen this man before.
01:15:39 "Sir!" Derrick Smith smiled and prepared to say hello to the man in the flowery shirt.
01:15:45 But right after, the smile on his face froze.
01:15:49 The man in the flowery shirt didn't even look at him as he walked behind him.
01:15:54 Derrick Smith immediately turned around and saw a scene he would never forget.
01:15:59 The man in the flowery shirt bowed to Kevin Bennett, who came down from the Bugatti.
01:16:06 Derrick Smith rubbed his eyes and felt that he must have seen wrongly.
01:16:10 "Mr. Kevin, you forgot to open your car."
01:16:16 Phil was very respectful and said this with a great deal of skill.
01:16:20 He didn't directly say that the car was given to him by Martin Henderson,
01:16:24 but that Kevin forgot to drive away.
01:16:27 This meant that the car belonged to Kevin Bennett, and he had no reason to reject it.
01:16:32 Kevin was speechless.
01:16:34 How could he forget about his car?
01:16:36 If he had forgotten his car, it was his electric scooter, not the supercar in front of him.
01:16:42 Martin Henderson was good at gifting things, and Kevin Bennett had no reason to refuse.
01:16:47 After all, no one would hurt a smiling person.
01:16:51 "Sorry, I was in a hurry to leave. Thank you for bringing my car."
01:16:55 Kevin Bennett took the key seriously.
01:16:58 "Mr. Kevin is too polite," Phil smiled and said.
01:17:02 Derrick Smith and Taylor Wright were dumbstruck when Kevin Bennett received the key.
01:17:07 All the Wright family employees in the courtyard had their mouths wide open,
01:17:11 as if two eggs could be stuffed inside.
01:17:14 This godly vehicle was Kevin Bennett's?
01:17:18 Claire Wright's face was also filled with astonishment.
01:17:21 She knew Kevin Bennett the best.
01:17:23 She would never believe that Kevin Bennett was the owner of this car.
01:17:27 "Come on, Claire. Let's go home."
01:17:29 Seeing that Claire Wright was still in a daze, Kevin Bennett waved his hand and said.
01:17:34 Claire Wright's face reddened before she finally reacted.
01:17:38 Kevin Bennett opened the car door for Claire Wright,
01:17:40 who sat obediently in the front passenger seat.
01:17:43 Afterwards, Kevin Bennett looked at Derrick Smith and Taylor Wright with a smile
01:17:47 that was not a smile and sat in the driver's seat.
01:17:50 Amidst the rumbling sound waves, the black lightning left.
01:17:54 "Impossible! That trash must have rented this car!"
01:18:04 Taylor Wright didn't care about the humiliation she had just received and started cursing again.
01:18:09 No matter what, she didn't believe that the car belonged to Kevin Bennett.
01:18:13 "Idiot! That car was not a rental!" Derrick Smith gritted his teeth and said.
01:18:19 His eyes were filled with fear. He was sure about the car.
01:18:23 He was an employee of Martin Henderson's company.
01:18:26 Three days ago, he saw Martin Henderson drive this car.
01:18:30 According to the company's management,
01:18:32 Martin Henderson bought this car recently worth $20 million.
01:18:37 There are only limited edition overruns in the USA.
01:18:40 Martin Henderson was going to give this car to a big leader in the nation as a birthday present.
01:18:46 But today, this car was in the hands of Kevin Bennett.
01:18:49 Derrick didn't know why, but he was sure that Kevin didn't rent this car because it was impossible.
01:18:56 "Hubby, what do you mean?" Taylor Wright was stunned.
01:19:00 "It wasn't a rental. Could it be Kevin Bennett bought the car?"
01:19:04 "What I mean is that you should avoid provoking Claire and Kevin in the future!"
01:19:08 "I advise you to forget about getting your revenge," Derrick Smith said coldly.
01:19:13 After speaking, he sat in the driver's seat without caring about Taylor Wright.
01:19:17 Taylor Wright stomped her feet in anger and followed him.
01:19:21 Claire Wright glanced at Kevin Bennett in the car and said, "Don't do that anymore."
01:19:27 "What is it?" Kevin Bennett was stunned for a moment before he replied.
01:19:31 "Rent a car!" Claire Wright glared at Kevin Bennett snappily and said,
01:19:36 "I know you don't want to embarrass me, but you don't need to rent a car.
01:19:40 Renting one like this would probably cost a lot of money."
01:19:44 Kevin Bennett had a weird expression on his face.
01:19:47 He was thinking about how to explain the car to Claire Wright,
01:19:50 but it turned out that Claire Wright had found a good reason for herself.
01:19:54 "I didn't spend too much money, but don't worry. I won't do that anymore,"
01:19:59 Kevin Bennett said without changing his expression. "That's good."
01:20:03 Claire Wright turned her head, her expression as serious as before.
01:20:07 However, the corners of her lips lifted into an imperceptible smile.
01:20:12 Bob Pierce was very efficient. In less than half a day,
01:20:15 he had already finalized the details of his cooperation with Martin Henderson.
01:20:20 Bennett family investment of $35 billion, Martin Henderson investment of $15 billion,
01:20:25 the two sides established a tourism development company.
01:20:29 The company was named Lux Travel.
01:20:32 Lux Travel Corporation would construct a large vacation area in Beverly Hills
01:20:36 and completely develop the Beverly Hills scenic area.
01:20:40 This news quickly spread through Los Angeles County,
01:20:43 detonating all the streets and alleys.
01:20:46 Episode 10, It's All About Money
01:20:53 An investment of $50 billion could be unprecedented in the Beverly Hills.
01:20:58 It would bring about an earth-shattering change to the city.
01:21:01 But what caused the business community to become even more shocked
01:21:05 was that the person leading this project was from the Bennett family,
01:21:09 the most powerful Bennett family in the county.
01:21:12 The family's influence was spread throughout the military, political, and merchant realms,
01:21:17 and the Bennett family was a super wealthy family that stood at the peak of the USA.
01:21:22 Countless merchants were envious and began asking all over
01:21:26 to find out if they could participate in the development of Beverly Hills,
01:21:29 because this was a project invested in by Bennett family.
01:21:33 The Bennett family's foresight and wealth, which was comparable to a nation's,
01:21:37 meant that this project could not be a loss.
01:21:40 It would only make money, and it would also make a huge profit.
01:21:44 Furthermore, with the participation of the richest man in the city and Martin Henderson,
01:21:49 this matter had even given many merchants a tranquilizer,
01:21:52 allowing them to determine that the Beverly Hills project would not lose anything.
01:21:57 As long as they are involved in the project, they will make a lot of money.
01:22:02 It was precisely because of this that many people had such thoughts.
01:22:06 On the second day, the threshold of Lux Travel Corporation was broken by merchants who had heard the news.
01:22:13 These companies were all here to seek cooperation, and they were all very humble.
01:22:18 Even several companies say they need to be given a chance to participate,
01:22:22 even if they don't have a dividend.
01:22:25 After hearing the news, Kevin Bennett was stunned.
01:22:28 He never expected such a situation to happen.
01:22:31 Everyone felt that the investment from Beverly Hills was a business that could earn money without losing anything.
01:22:38 However, only Kevin Bennett knew that this investment was just for fun.
01:22:43 Even in his plan, this investment would be a loss.
01:22:47 He had never thought about making money.
01:22:50 However, these merchants took this project seriously.
01:22:53 The fame of the Bennett family was too great, and so great that these merchants had to ignore all risks.
01:23:00 Wright Family Headquarters, L.A. Tower, Buildings Top Floor, Meeting Room.
01:23:06 Less than half an hour after Lux Travel Corporation was announced to have been developed,
01:23:11 an emergency meeting was held on Wright Family.
01:23:14 Wright's L.A. Tower narrowed his eyes and sat on the director's seat.
01:23:19 There were two rows of other Wright Family members, and everyone's expression was extremely serious.
01:23:25 "Have you heard about the Beverly Hills Resort?" Wright's L.A. Tower opened his eyes and said lightly.
01:23:33 "Yes," everyone nodded, but their expressions were different.
01:23:37 "Within these three days, no matter what methods you use, you must let our Wright Family participate in the Beverly Hills project."
01:23:46 Logan Wright glanced at everyone and said with a hint of unquestionable tone.
01:23:50 The members of the Wright Family had troubled looks on their faces as they lowered their heads in silence.
01:23:56 "Dad, this is probably not too realistic."
01:24:00 After a long while, Trevor Wright finally spoke in a muffled voice.
01:24:04 He was the eldest son of Wright.
01:24:07 Logan was also the next patriarch of the Wright Family.
01:24:10 No one knew the situation in the Wright Family better than he did.
01:24:14 The current Wright Family had long since been reduced to the second-tier family of Sacramento.
01:24:20 Ever since Country Garden was shot and two large real estate groups established their Sacramento,
01:24:26 the real estate industry of the Wright Family had become discouraged from the impact, and their value had dropped by leaps and bounds.
01:24:34 Several buildings were in a state where no one cared about them.
01:24:38 The current Wright Family was just an empty shell.
01:24:42 Other than a few professional engineering teams, there was nothing else that could be taken out.
01:24:48 With this kind of Wright Family, even if he were to cooperate with the Lux Travel Estate,
01:24:54 he probably wouldn't even be able to enter through their doors.
01:24:58 "Unrealistic," Logan lightly tapped on the table, causing the hearts of the Wright Family members to tighten.
01:25:05 "Then, everyone's year-end bonus will be halved," Logan said lightly.
01:25:11 Hearing this, the faces of everyone in the Wright Family greatly changed.
01:25:17 "Halve the year-end bonus? How are they going to live?"
01:25:21 Wright Family was a family business, and in this business, every employee was related to Wright Family.
01:25:28 Halving the annual bonus was equivalent to deducting half of everyone's salary.
01:25:33 Trevor Wright originally got $20 million a year, but if the year-end bonus were halved, then the amount he got would only be $10 million.
01:25:42 Logan was angry.
01:25:44 Logan would keep its promise if the Wright Family couldn't participate in this time's program.
01:25:49 At that time, the ones who would suffer would be them.
01:25:53 For a time, many of the Wright Family members were extremely anxious as they discussed amongst themselves.
01:26:00 They intended to discuss a way to participate in the projects at the Beverly Hills Resort.
01:26:05 It had to be said, it was even harder than ascending to the heavens.
01:26:10 Because the current Wright Family was too weak, they did not have the qualifications to cooperate with Lux Travel Corporation.
01:26:17 Logan Wright looked at Trevor Wright with a grumbling look.
01:26:21 He didn't understand why his father wanted to be the first one to take the lead.
01:26:25 Now that he had angered Logan, everyone was going to suffer.
01:26:30 Seeing the faces of the clan members darken, Logan seemed to realize that he was being a little too harsh.
01:26:36 He relaxed his tone and said,
01:26:39 "Wright Family members, no matter who it is, as long as they can form a cooperative relationship with Lux Travel Corporation, I will reward them.
01:26:49 With the building on the east side of the city."
01:26:53 The building on the east side of the city?
01:26:56 Many members of the Wright Family immediately widened their eyes.
01:27:00 "Grandpa put in a lot of effort this time.
01:27:03 That building on the east side of the city, if it is sold, well, it would sell for at least 30 million dollars, right?"
01:27:10 "Yeah, but I don't think Lux Travel Corporation will cooperate with our Wright Family."
01:27:16 After Logan finished speaking, many members of the Wright Family showed different reactions.
01:27:22 Some were excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, while others felt dejected, thinking that this was an impossible mission.
01:27:30 Logan was a typical person, who would suppress others first before giving rewards to others.
01:27:36 Using 30 million dollars worth of buildings as a reward excited many Wright Family members.
01:27:42 Claire Wright's beautiful eyes also lit up.
01:27:45 However, when she thought about the barren resources that her father controlled, her gaze dimmed.
01:27:51 Among Logan's three sons, Alan Wright was the least valued.
01:27:56 The few engineering teams Trevor Wright had with him were the veteran engineering teams of the Wright Family.
01:28:02 They had a lot of experience, and most of the buildings in the Wright Family were built by them.
01:28:08 However, the engineering team Alan Wright was holding had been eliminated by the Wright Family.
01:28:14 If they used this engineering team to talk to the Lux Travel Corporation, they would probably be laughed to death.
01:28:21 Therefore, Trevor Wright and his son were most likely to complete the mission.
01:28:27 As Claire Wright expected, Trevor Wright patted his chest and stood up, making a promise to Logan.
01:28:33 He would sleep at the Lux Travel Corporation entrance tonight.
01:28:37 No matter what, he would cooperate with the Lux Travel Corporation to let their Wright Family take the chance to become one of the top families in Sacramento.
01:28:46 Logan nodded in satisfaction.
01:28:49 Claire Wright sighed, feeling that the future had nothing to do with her.
01:28:54 But at this time, Jack Wright spoke up.
01:28:57 "Grandfather, I think, to be safe, we should transfer the few engineering teams in Third Uncle's hands to us.
01:29:05 When we negotiate with the Lux Travel Corporation, we have more confidence."
01:29:11 Claire Wright's pretty face suddenly changed color.
01:29:14 The third uncle that Jack Wright mentioned was her father, Alan Wright.
01:29:19 Although the engineering team in Alan Wright's hand was scattered, that was Alan Wright's only capital.
01:29:26 If the engineering team transferred over to Jack Wright, it would be like sending a sheep into a tiger's den.
01:29:32 Whether the negotiation with Lux Travel Corporation was successful or not, the engineering team would not be able to get it back.
01:29:41 In the future, Alan Wright would not receive any rewards from the family, and they would become characters on the brink of the Wright Family.
01:29:49 "I don't agree!" Claire Wright rejected him without a second thought.
01:29:54 She didn't expect Jack Wright to be so shameless.
01:29:57 Wanting to take advantage of her father's coma to seize his only resource?
01:30:02 This was pushing their family to the brink of death.
