00:00:00 "Episode 241, Wounded Mystery Unbandaged."
00:00:06 Seeing that Eileen was still conflicted, John Luck continued to speak.
00:00:10 "Miss Eileen, why don't you think about where we are?
00:00:14 We're in Beverly Hills.
00:00:17 Our developer is Martin Henderson.
00:00:19 That's right, the wealthiest man in Sacramento, Martin Henderson.
00:00:24 Do you think our boss would sell a house to someone if another person had died there?
00:00:30 Do you think our boss needs the money from selling this house?"
00:00:33 John Luck asked several questions in a row, which completely stunned Eileen.
00:00:39 Even Alan couldn't help but wonder whether Kevin said this to stop Eileen from buying
00:00:42 a house.
00:00:44 After all, Beverly Hills was the most high-end area in the entire city of Sacramento.
00:00:50 Alan didn't think people like Martin Henderson would ruin their reputation for a house worth
00:00:55 only ten million dollars.
00:00:58 "John Luck, Catherine, I'm sorry.
00:01:01 This piece of trash misled me."
00:01:04 Eileen took a deep breath, bowed, and apologized.
00:01:08 Then, she looked at Kevin in disgust and scolded.
00:01:14 "Trash, why aren't you apologizing to Catherine and John Luck as well?"
00:01:19 "Apologize?"
00:01:20 Kevin's face turned cold.
00:01:22 "Why should I apologize?
00:01:24 What did I do wrong?"
00:01:27 "You trash.
00:01:29 You dare to say that you're not in the wrong?"
00:01:32 Eileen snapped, her teeth chattering.
00:01:34 "In order not to pay for my house, you just started spouting nonsense like someone has
00:01:39 died in this house."
00:01:40 "You are unbelievable.
00:01:43 And you say you're not in the wrong?"
00:01:46 Eileen was trembling with anger.
00:01:48 "Kevin, you said that someone had died in the house.
00:01:51 Do you have any evidence?"
00:01:53 Alan spoke up in a deep voice.
00:01:56 If Kevin had no evidence, he wouldn't stand on Kevin's side this time.
00:02:00 Kevin shook his head.
00:02:02 "Not yet."
00:02:03 "Not yet?"
00:02:05 John Luck sneered.
00:02:06 "Then when will we get it?
00:02:08 Next year?
00:02:09 Or the year after that?
00:02:10 Or maybe even the day you go to hell?
00:02:13 Brother Kevin, you want me to die?"
00:02:17 Kevin's expression suddenly turned cold.
00:02:19 If it was possible to avoid it, he didn't want to contact Martin.
00:02:24 But if John Luck insisted on not admitting his mistake, he could only call his boss and
00:02:30 ask about the whole situation.
00:02:32 "Why would you say that?"
00:02:34 John Luck sneered and said sarcastically.
00:02:37 "Kevin, aren't you taking yourself too seriously?
00:02:41 You're just a take-out delivery boy.
00:02:43 Who gave you the courage to say such words?
00:02:46 Are you so confident in yourself?
00:02:49 You'll know soon enough."
00:02:50 Kevin's expression suddenly calmed down.
00:02:53 "Is that so?"
00:02:55 This was Beverly Hills, and John Luck was the sales manager for the entire development.
00:03:01 Kevin was just a delivery boy threatening him in his territory, and he did not know
00:03:07 how to take his threats.
00:03:10 Kevin dialed a number on his phone.
00:03:12 "Hello, Mr. Henderson.
00:03:13 I'm at the new development now."
00:03:15 "Mr. Henderson," John Luck sneered.
00:03:20 He sure knew how to fucking act.
00:03:22 He was even pretending to speak to his boss.
00:03:25 "Oh, young Mr. Bennett?"
00:03:28 On the other end of the phone, Martin's voice sounded surprised, yet pleased.
00:03:32 "When did you get here?"
00:03:34 "I've just arrived," Kevin smiled.
00:03:37 "Mr. Bennett, why didn't you say anything when you got here?
00:03:41 I wanted to pick you up."
00:03:43 Martin hurriedly got up from the couch he was sitting on in his office, his attitude
00:03:47 abnormally respectful.
00:03:49 The matter of Kevin extinguishing the Evans family was no longer a secret in the upper
00:03:54 echelons of Sacramento, so Martin was currently extremely afraid of Kevin.
00:04:00 "I'm here to accompany my father-in-law and mother-in-law to buy a house," Kevin smiled
00:04:04 bitterly.
00:04:05 His words implied that he didn't want to trouble Martin.
00:04:08 "Buy a house?"
00:04:10 Martin was stunned.
00:04:11 "Didn't he give Kevin a villa?
00:04:13 Why would Kevin buy another house?"
00:04:15 But soon, Martin realized that Kevin was buying a house for Alan and Eileen, not himself.
00:04:21 "Oh, Mr. Bennett, you're saying that buying a house is difficult.
00:04:26 Which suite do you like?
00:04:27 Just tell your old friend Martin and I will, of course, give it to you.
00:04:31 I don't have anything else to offer, but I have many houses."
00:04:35 Martin laughed.
00:04:36 He naturally knew about the relationship between Kevin and Eileen.
00:04:40 He also knew that Kevin didn't want to reveal his identity in front of Eileen, so giving
00:04:44 him the house politely let him know that he was in on the secret.
00:04:48 "Mr. Henderson, I have taken a fancy to one of your houses in particular," Kevin smiled.
00:04:54 "Huh?"
00:04:55 Martin's mouth was agape.
00:04:57 He was joking around with Kevin.
00:04:59 How could Kevin be serious?
00:05:01 "Of course, Mr. Bennett.
00:05:03 Which house have you taken a fancy to?
00:05:05 I'll bring the key over to you right now."
00:05:08 Although Martin was surprised, he didn't show it in his voice.
00:05:11 "Building 16, 11th floor, Unit 508."
00:05:16 "Sixteen?"
00:05:17 Martin frowned.
00:05:18 "Aren't sixteen buildings in the regular residential area?
00:05:22 Why would Kevin set his eyes on a house in the common residential area?"
00:05:25 "Oh, no."
00:05:26 He had said "Unit 508."
00:05:30 Martin was shocked, and his face instantly turned pale.
00:05:33 "Isn't that a haunted house?
00:05:36 Four people died there at the beginning of the year.
00:05:39 How could Kevin have set his eyes on that place?"
00:05:42 Martin couldn't stop the cold sweat from dripping down his forehead.
00:05:46 Almost at the same time, he thought of one possibility.
00:05:50 It wasn't that Kevin had chosen that unit for himself.
00:05:54 Someone from his sales team was trying to sell that suite to Kevin.
00:05:57 "Damn it."
00:05:58 "Well, Mr. Bennett, if you had said you wanted the villa I'm currently living in, I would
00:06:03 have left the mansion for you without even frowning.
00:06:06 But the suite that you mentioned?
00:06:10 That one really can't be given to you."
00:06:12 Martin wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead.
00:06:14 "What do you mean by this?"
00:06:17 Kevin asked, although he already knew the answer.
00:06:20 "Mr. Bennett."
00:06:21 "To tell you the truth, someone died in that suite before.
00:06:27 Bandits on New Year's Eve exterminated a family of four."
00:06:31 Martin didn't dare to hide anything and told him everything.
00:06:35 Not many people in Sacramento knew about this tragedy.
00:06:38 On the day of the murder, Martin used his connections to capture the murderer and sent
00:06:42 him to prison immediately.
00:06:45 After that, Martin was worried that this matter would affect the opening of the Beverly Hills
00:06:49 development so he used his connections to suppress the matter.
00:06:53 In the end, few people knew about the case.
00:06:57 Even the people who lived in the suite next door had no idea someone had died on the other
00:07:02 side of their wall.
00:07:03 Other than the few higher ups in Beverly Hills, there was only the sales manager who knew
00:07:07 about the entire situation.
00:07:10 "So, Mr. Henderson, you still want to sell out a dead person's house?"
00:07:16 Kevin's tone turned cold.
00:07:18 "Oh, Mr. Bennett, you expect so little of me."
00:07:23 Martin smiled bitterly.
00:07:24 "Even if I lacked money, I wouldn't do something like selling a home where people had died.
00:07:30 After what happened that day, I had people seal up the house.
00:07:34 After that, I had no intention of selling the property to anyone else."
00:07:37 "Then how do you explain that we are standing in it right now?"
00:07:42 He also knew that Martin was unlikely to sell the house, but Jean Luc was likely to go against
00:07:47 his wishes to earn extra money.
00:07:49 Although Martin had sealed the house as the sales manager of the sales department, Jean
00:07:54 Luc still had the key.
00:07:58 EPISODE 242.
00:08:01 OPPOSITE EXPECTATIONS
00:08:02 "This is unacceptable.
00:08:05 Mr. Bennett, it must be someone in my company who had the guts to try and earn money behind
00:08:11 my back by selling that house.
00:08:13 Please, Mr. Bennett, you wait there at Unit 508 and I'll be right over."
00:08:18 Martin said all this through clenched teeth.
00:08:21 Things were clear now.
00:08:23 Firstly, they could eliminate the few higher-ups in Beverly Hills as the culprits.
00:08:28 They did not want to bother with this ten million dollar house.
00:08:31 As for the rest of his staff, they weren't allowed to make decisions like that, so he
00:08:36 could only blame it on one of the few sales managers.
00:08:40 Martin gritted his teeth.
00:08:41 He had not been this angry in a long time.
00:08:44 "Are you done pretending to speak to my boss?"
00:08:48 Martin asked.
00:08:49 "Seeing Kevin hang up," Jean Luc spoke lazily.
00:08:52 "Finished," Kevin smiled faintly.
00:08:56 When he called Martin earlier, he didn't turn on the speaker, so no one in the field heard
00:09:00 Martin's voice.
00:09:01 "When will our benevolent boss come?"
00:09:05 Jean Luc's face was full of ridicule.
00:09:08 He thought Kevin was pretending to give Martin a call, but he did get in touch with him.
00:09:13 It was like his head had been kicked by a donkey.
00:09:16 In Sacramento, everyone knew about Martin.
00:09:19 "Ten minutes," Kevin smiled.
00:09:22 "Ten minutes."
00:09:24 "I'm afraid you won't be able to wait for him then, Brother Kevin," Jean Luc smiled
00:09:28 playfully and continued.
00:09:30 "Because our residential complex security guards will be here in five minutes.
00:09:35 At that time, they will throw you out of the entire development.
00:09:39 Of course, if you apologize to me right now and kneel and beg for forgiveness, I can make
00:09:46 them let you go."
00:09:47 "Trash.
00:09:48 Hurry and kneel for Jean Luc."
00:09:50 Eileen was furious.
00:09:52 Without a doubt, Kevin had hurt her reputation badly just now.
00:09:56 The word "stupid" could no longer describe the current Kevin.
00:10:01 He was completely brainless.
00:10:04 "You can pretend to know many people, but you must pretend to know Martin.
00:10:09 He is the richest man in Sacramento.
00:10:12 The big boss of Beverly Hills.
00:10:14 Who are you?
00:10:16 Just a delivery boy."
00:10:18 The difference in status between the two of them was like the difference between the mud
00:10:23 and the clouds.
00:10:25 If word of this were to spread, people would laugh so hard at Kevin that they would lose
00:10:30 their teeth.
00:10:31 Eileen was about to die from anger.
00:10:35 She didn't expect Kevin to be this stupid right now.
00:10:38 "Kneel?"
00:10:40 Kevin smiled scarily.
00:10:42 He glanced at Jean Luc and said, "Mom, do you believe he will kneel to me in ten minutes?"
00:10:49 Eileen's face froze.
00:10:52 This piece of trash had become this arrogant?
00:10:55 Does Jean Luc kneel before him?
00:10:57 Why should he?
00:10:59 Kneel before you?
00:11:01 Jean Luc also had an expression of disbelief.
00:11:05 Kevin dared to say such words.
00:11:07 He was so arrogant that there was no limit to it.
00:11:11 Jean Luc was angered and laughed.
00:11:13 "If I kneel to you today, then I will jump out that window."
00:11:18 Jean Luc pointed to the window in the kitchen.
00:11:21 This was the eleventh floor.
00:11:23 If he jumped out from there, he would die.
00:11:27 "Alright," Kevin said indifferently.
00:11:30 Since Jean Luc was courting death, he naturally wouldn't stop him.
00:11:34 "What if I don't kneel?
00:11:36 Are you going to jump down from here instead of me?"
00:11:39 Jean Luc asked with a cold smile.
00:11:42 "Sure," Kevin nodded.
00:11:44 "If I don't kneel, then I don't want you to jump out the window.
00:11:49 Just kneel before me, then crawl over and kiss my shoes."
00:11:53 "How about that?"
00:11:55 Jean Luc looked at Kevin in ridicule.
00:11:58 He preferred to humiliate Kevin in front of Claire rather than let Kevin die or become
00:12:03 crippled.
00:12:04 "As long as you're happy," Kevin smiled.
00:12:07 "Bang!"
00:12:08 As soon as he said that, the door was pushed open, and a few security guards in uniform
00:12:13 holding electric batons rushed in.
00:12:15 "Mr. Florn, which stupid person is causing trouble?"
00:12:19 The few security guards had menacing expressions on their faces.
00:12:23 "There's no need to use force.
00:12:25 I've already dealt with the ones causing trouble.
00:12:28 Wait outside the door," Jean Luc said with a smile.
00:12:32 However, before he could finish, he was interrupted by the trembling voice of the security guard
00:12:37 in the lead.
00:12:38 "Bennett?
00:12:39 Is that Kevin Bennett?"
00:12:42 The leader of the security guards widened his eyes, and his tongue was suddenly tied.
00:12:48 He would never have thought that he would meet Kevin here.
00:12:51 Originally, he wanted to call Kevin "Master Bennett," but when he met Kevin's sharp gaze,
00:12:58 he instantly changed his mind.
00:13:01 Martin had warned him before not to expose Kevin's identity.
00:13:05 "Ronan Jenkins?"
00:13:08 Kevin also had a strange expression on his face.
00:13:10 "You didn't expect to meet Ronan here."
00:13:13 The first time he met Ronan was in the villa at the top of the mountain.
00:13:17 At that time, Ronan was still the captain of the security team in the villa complex,
00:13:21 but because he offended Mr. Henderson, he was sent to work in the normal residential
00:13:26 area.
00:13:27 "Captain Jenkins!
00:13:28 What a coincidence!"
00:13:31 Kevin said with a smile.
00:13:32 "Yes.
00:13:34 What a coincidence indeed!"
00:13:36 Ronan squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying.
00:13:40 If he could choose, he would never have run into Kevin again, but fate was unpredictable,
00:13:46 and today, he was called here by Jean-Luc.
00:13:49 "You two know each other?"
00:13:52 Jean-Luc frowned.
00:13:53 He didn't know why, but he felt Ronan was very afraid of Kevin, which seemed unreasonable.
00:14:01 Kevin was just a delivery boy.
00:14:03 Although Ronan was only a security guard, he was still a Beverly Hills guard, and tougher
00:14:07 than most.
00:14:08 So, why should he be afraid of Kevin?
00:14:11 "We do."
00:14:13 With a smile, Kevin nodded.
00:14:15 "Captain Jenkins and I are old friends."
00:14:18 "Yes, yes.
00:14:21 Mr. Bennett and I are old friends," Ronan replied with a coy smile.
00:14:26 "Old friends?"
00:14:27 Jean-Luc snorted coldly and said, "Ronan.
00:14:31 This old friend of yours is causing trouble in Beverly Hills, trying to discredit our
00:14:35 reputation.
00:14:36 What do you think we should do?"
00:14:39 Jean-Luc originally didn't want to argue with Kevin because he had already bet with him
00:14:43 that Kevin would kiss his shoes after ten minutes while on his knees.
00:14:47 However, after seeing Kevin's confident expression, Jean-Luc decided to change his mind and show
00:14:53 Kevin some mock respect first.
00:14:55 "Mr. Floren, you must be mistaken."
00:14:59 Ronan frowned and thought, "Kevin?
00:15:02 Causing trouble?"
00:15:04 Even if he was causing trouble, did he dare to stand up to him?
00:15:07 Ronan was no one, and even Martin himself might not dare to say half a word of disapproval
00:15:12 in front of Kevin.
00:15:14 "Mistaken?
00:15:15 Ronan, are you questioning me?"
00:15:17 Jean-Luc's face turned cold.
00:15:19 A mere security chief dared not to give him, the sales manager, the respect he deserved?
00:15:25 "Yes, I am," Ronan said straightforwardly.
00:15:28 "I understand Mr. Bennett's character very well.
00:15:32 However, I don't think Mr. Bennett would do anything to discredit our beloved development."
00:15:36 "Then you mean that I'm making things up about him?"
00:15:41 Jean-Luc was so angry that he laughed instead.
00:15:44 Ronan nodded, "Very likely."
00:15:47 The moment these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room instantly became tense.
00:15:54 The few security guards who had just entered the room were all confused.
00:16:00 What was going on with Captain Jenkins?
00:16:02 Did he go against Jean-Luc for his old friend?
00:16:06 "Fine, very good," Jean-Luc gritted his teeth in anger.
00:16:11 He did not expect Ronan to not listen to him at all.
00:16:15 Ronan did this to him for a friend who delivered food to him.
00:16:19 "Ronan, I'm announcing that you've been fired.
00:16:23 Immediately roll up your bed and get lost."
00:16:26 If Ronan didn't give him any respect, then there was no need for him to give Ronan any.
00:16:31 "You're firing me?
00:16:32 Mr. Florin, I don't think you have the authority to do so."
00:16:36 Ronan raised his eyebrows and was completely unmoved.
00:16:40 He was from the security department and Jean-Luc was from the sales department.
00:16:44 The only way to fire him was to have the head of security decide the matter.
00:16:50 Order 243.
00:16:53 Amendment if possible.
00:16:55 "Mr. Fisher, your manager is my good friend.
00:16:59 Do you think he will disagree with my decision?"
00:17:02 Jean-Luc sneered.
00:17:03 "He grew up in the same neighborhood as Chuck Fisher.
00:17:07 Wouldn't it be easy for Chuck to fire Ronan?"
00:17:09 "Then you can call him if you would like, sir."
00:17:12 Ronan was still calm.
00:17:14 That idiot Jean-Luc, even now, still did not know what kind of power he had offended in
00:17:20 Kevin.
00:17:21 Not to mention firing him.
00:17:24 In no more than a half hour, Ronan was sure that Jean-Luc himself would be the one being
00:17:29 fired from Beverly Hills.
00:17:31 "Alright, I'll call him right away."
00:17:34 Saying that, Jean-Luc took out his phone and dialed Chuck's number.
00:17:39 "Chuck, is Captain Ronan Jenkins a member of your security department?"
00:17:43 Jean-Luc went straight to the point.
00:17:46 Chuck was silent for a moment on the other end before replying.
00:17:49 "Yes?"
00:17:50 "I want to fire him for disrespecting me.
00:17:53 Can you do that?"
00:17:54 Jean-Luc said arrogantly.
00:17:56 "No way."
00:17:58 "Huh?"
00:17:59 Jean-Luc's face stiffened.
00:18:01 "Why?
00:18:02 This didn't seem right.
00:18:04 Normally Chuck would always agree to all his requests.
00:18:07 So how could he reject him so easily today?
00:18:10 Now, Chuck, what do you mean?"
00:18:13 Jean-Luc wanted to question him but he was mercilessly cut off.
00:18:17 "Jean-Luc, I will not fire anyone from my security department today.
00:18:21 Also, don't contact me in the future."
00:18:25 The line went dead.
00:18:27 This time, Jean-Luc stopped talking.
00:18:30 No matter how stupid he was, he should have realized something was wrong.
00:18:35 He and Chuck had been friends for more than ten years, but now their ties were so easily
00:18:40 cut.
00:18:41 Jean-Luc's gaze suddenly shifted to Kevin.
00:18:45 "What the hell do you do?"
00:18:47 "I'm a delivery boy, I told you," Kevin said lazily.
00:18:52 "Impossible," Jean-Luc insisted.
00:18:55 At this moment, if he still treated Kevin as a delivery boy, then his brain would be
00:19:00 flooded with water.
00:19:02 "Tell the truth.
00:19:03 Do you know Mr. Henderson?"
00:19:06 Jean-Luc swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked.
00:19:09 Although he was unwilling to believe it, as matter stood, all the indications were that
00:19:15 Kevin was not just acting tough.
00:19:19 It was possible that he did know Martin.
00:19:21 Furthermore, Ronan and Kevin were not old friends.
00:19:25 Ronan was afraid of Kevin.
00:19:28 Kevin smiled.
00:19:29 "I seem to recall having told you before that I do."
00:19:34 "Boom."
00:19:35 Jean-Luc's brain exploded as if lightning struck him, and his face instantly turned
00:19:41 pale.
00:19:43 Kevin was talking to Martin just now.
00:19:46 It was over.
00:19:48 It was all over.
00:19:50 "Mr. Bennett, listen to me.
00:19:54 This is a misunderstanding."
00:19:55 Jean-Luc's voice carried a hint of sobbing.
00:19:59 Anyone with a discerning eye could tell he was afraid.
00:20:04 Martin's change in attitude surprised Eileen, Alan, and Catherine.
00:20:08 "Jean-Luc, what are you saying here?
00:20:12 What misunderstanding?"
00:20:14 Catherine scolded her son with a cold expression.
00:20:17 It looked like Eileen would buy the house, but now Jean-Luc said it was a misunderstanding.
00:20:22 "Mom, Mr. Bennett, he knows Mr. Henderson."
00:20:27 To all the employees of Beverly Hills, Martin's status was no different than the king of hell.
00:20:35 A single word could end life and bring on death.
00:20:40 Martin already knew that Jean-Luc had tried to sell off the house where that family was
00:20:45 murdered, so Martin definitely wouldn't let him off.
00:20:49 Jean-Luc could only pray that the relationship between Kevin and Martin was strong enough.
00:20:54 Kevin's reputation might be strong enough that Martin could spare him if he asked.
00:20:59 "Nonsense.
00:21:00 He's just a delivery boy.
00:21:01 How could he possibly know Mr. Henderson?"
00:21:05 Catherine asked coldly.
00:21:06 But in the back of her mind, she was beginning to doubt her words.
00:21:11 If Kevin did know Martin, then why was Eileen buying the house through her?
00:21:16 Why not go directly through Mr. Henderson?
00:21:20 Catherine had offered them a 20% discount, but if they knew Martin, they could get an
00:21:24 even bigger discount, maybe 50%.
00:21:26 "Jean-Luc, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?
00:21:31 This trash, he... it's impossible for him to know Mr. Henderson, isn't it?"
00:21:35 Eileen couldn't believe it either.
00:21:37 She felt that Jean-Luc must have made a mistake.
00:21:40 If Kevin knew Martin, then she would know Bill Gates.
00:21:45 Jean-Luc shook his head with a bitter smile.
00:21:48 He hoped that he got it wrong, but the signal that Chuck gave him was very clear.
00:21:54 After ten years of friendship, there was only one thing that would make him end it so abruptly.
00:22:01 He had to have been influenced by Mr. Henderson.
00:22:04 "Mr. Bennett, I was blinded by money and looked down on people.
00:22:08 I should not have tried to sell you this haunted house.
00:22:11 Please, give me a chance to make up for it."
00:22:14 As Jean-Luc spoke, he fell to his knees and pleaded for sympathy.
00:22:19 "Jean-Luc, what nonsense are you talking about?
00:22:22 No one has ever died here.
00:22:23 This house is not haunted."
00:22:26 Catherine's face turned ashen as she bellowed angrily.
00:22:30 This trash had handed over his trump card.
00:22:33 "Has anyone died in this house before?"
00:22:36 Alan's expression sang.
00:22:38 Eileen's face also turned pale instantly.
00:22:41 When Jean-Luc had said it himself, the matter of the people who died in the house must be
00:22:46 true.
00:22:47 "No, Eileen, don't listen to this nonsense.
00:22:51 The house is still fine.
00:22:52 A dead person can't be here."
00:22:54 Catherine was furious beyond belief.
00:22:57 She wanted to explain herself, but the way everyone looked at her changed.
00:23:01 Catherine subconsciously turned her head.
00:23:03 In the face that entered her line of sight caused her pupils to constrict.
00:23:09 "Mr. Henderson?"
00:23:12 Catherine's tongue was tied in a knot, her words incomplete.
00:23:18 Martin's face turned dark.
00:23:20 "Who told you the house was still for sale?"
00:23:23 "Mr. Henderson, I..."
00:23:26 Catherine panicked and completely lost her composure.
00:23:30 She didn't know how to explain it to Martin.
00:23:33 "What just happened?"
00:23:35 As Martin said this, he viciously slapped Catherine's face, knocking her to the ground.
00:23:41 As he walked in front of Kevin, a smile finally appeared on Martin's face.
00:23:46 "Mr. Bennett, I'm so sorry.
00:23:49 It was my fault that this confusion occurred."
00:23:52 Everyone's heads snapped toward Kevin and Martin.
00:23:55 "Why was he being so cordial to this piece of trash?"
00:24:00 Still kneeling on the ground, Jean-Luc turned pale again and revealed a bitter smile.
00:24:06 Indeed, Kevin knew Martin and judging from Martin's attitude, the relationship between
00:24:11 him and Kevin was not as simple as just knowing each other.
00:24:16 "Oh, Mr. Henderson, your words are too harsh."
00:24:19 "The ignorant are not guilty," Kevin smiled faintly.
00:24:24 With Martin's personality, of course, there was no danger of him being called Master Bennett
00:24:28 in front of Eileen, Alan, and the others.
00:24:31 "Jean-Luc?"
00:24:33 Martin shifted his gaze to Jean-Luc.
00:24:36 Without any hesitation, Jean-Luc co-toed as tears flowed down from his eyes.
00:24:41 "Mr. Henderson, please.
00:24:44 I was wrong.
00:24:45 I was wrong.
00:24:46 Please forgive me."
00:24:47 "Forgive you?"
00:24:48 Martin shouted.
00:24:49 "You dare to sell a house taken off the market, where an entire family was murdered, and you
00:24:54 want me to forgive you?"
00:24:57 "Mr. Henderson, I was wrong.
00:24:59 The money blinded me.
00:25:00 I just wanted to make every penny I could."
00:25:03 Jean-Luc was crying and begging for mercy.
00:25:06 His intestines were about to pop out of his stomach.
00:25:09 He would do whatever he needed to get back in Martin's favor.
00:25:12 He had too much power and influence to be on his bad side.
00:25:16 Even if Jean-Luc were the bravest man in Sacramento, he wouldn't dare to anger Martin on purpose.
00:25:22 Catherine, his mother-in-law, couldn't stand it any longer.
00:25:26 She said they only decided to sell it because Mr. Henderson had forgotten about it.
00:25:31 So the place was written off, and the only person with access to it was Jean-Luc, who
00:25:36 held the key and the property certificate.
00:25:39 And the family that had been murdered there?
00:25:41 Well, until now, very few people in the city of Sacramento knew about it.
00:25:50 EPISODE 244.
00:25:52 Rich in Integrity
00:25:55 Even the higher-ups in the company, like Mr. Henderson, had completely forgotten about
00:25:59 the property.
00:26:01 Only Jean-Luc, the sales manager, had the key to Unit 508.
00:26:06 The rules said you could sell any house if you found a buyer.
00:26:09 Thus, Jean-Luc was tempted.
00:26:12 After finding out that Eileen didn't have any impressive family history or wealth, he
00:26:17 asked Catherine to bring Eileen to see the home.
00:26:20 It could be said that everything was working out flawlessly, but unfortunately, he met
00:26:27 Kevin.
00:26:28 At first, Kevin felt something was wrong with the atmosphere in the house, so he called
00:26:34 Martin to confirm his theory.
00:26:36 The uproar caused the matter of the murdered family to become known to the entire Beverly
00:26:41 Hills community.
00:26:42 If he had known what would happen earlier, Jean-Luc wouldn't have sold this apartment,
00:26:48 even if he could have made a billion dollars.
00:26:51 "If having to admit your wrongs was punishment enough, then what would we need the police
00:26:56 for?"
00:26:58 Martin scolded Jean-Luc angrily.
00:27:00 "Ah, Lawrence, help him remember never to repeat his mistakes."
00:27:05 "Yes, Mr. Henderson."
00:27:07 "Mr. Henderson, please, have mercy.
00:27:11 Have mercy."
00:27:13 Lawrence, one of Martin's bodyguards, walked over expressionlessly.
00:27:18 Jean-Luc was so scared that he pissed his pants.
00:27:21 Lawrence let out a cold snort, and he rushed in front of Jean-Luc with a single stride.
00:27:27 The dagger in his hand was mercilessly stabbed at Jean-Luc's right wrist.
00:27:32 "Fchee!"
00:27:33 He stabbed the dagger into his right wrist and pulled it out.
00:27:38 Blood immediately began to gush out.
00:27:41 Jean-Luc screamed.
00:27:42 He moved to cover his pierced right wrist, but the dagger in Lawrence's hand moved once
00:27:47 again.
00:27:48 Another slashing sound was heard.
00:27:51 This time, the dagger stabbed into Jean-Luc's left wrist and was pulled out mercilessly.
00:27:57 The tendons on Jean-Luc's left hand were cleanly cut through, and blood was all over the floor.
00:28:03 Jean-Luc was lying on the ground and screaming miserably.
00:28:08 Behind him, the Beverly Hills higher-ups all shuddered at the same time.
00:28:13 Without a doubt, Martin was trying to set an example.
00:28:17 He was giving Kevin his revenge, but he was also letting the rest of the group know what
00:28:22 would happen if they took something that wasn't theirs.
00:28:26 If they did, they would end up like Jean-Luc.
00:28:28 "Jean-Luc!"
00:28:31 Catherine was so scared that she trembled and sat on the ground, paralyzed, like a pool
00:28:37 of soft mud.
00:28:38 "Send her to the police station."
00:28:41 Martin looked coldly at Catherine.
00:28:43 Unfortunately, Catherine was not one of the Beverly Hills employees, so he couldn't deal
00:28:48 with her directly.
00:28:49 However, as long as he spoke to the police, it would hardly take any effort for him to
00:28:55 make Catherine stay in prison for the rest of her life.
00:28:59 Soon, Jean-Luc and Catherine were carried out.
00:29:02 Martin clapped his hands and walked to Eileen and Alan with a big smile as if nothing had
00:29:08 happened.
00:29:09 He stretched out his hand and smiled.
00:29:11 "Alan, Eileen!
00:29:13 My name is Martin Henderson."
00:29:14 "Hello, Mr. Henderson.
00:29:16 Hello.
00:29:17 Mr. Henderson, I've heard a lot about you."
00:29:21 Eileen extended her hand in fear, while Alan was flattered.
00:29:25 Before this, they had never thought that one day they would have a relationship with the
00:29:30 richest man in Sacramento.
00:29:32 But now, the richest man in Sacramento had taken the initiative to extend his hand towards
00:29:38 them.
00:29:39 Alan understood very well that all of this was because of Kevin.
00:29:43 Even Eileen, who usually didn't pay attention to details, had no choice but to accept that
00:29:48 Martin Henderson shook hands with her because of Kevin.
00:29:51 "Mr. and Mrs. Wright, I'm sorry.
00:29:54 Unfortunately, the people in the company are not sensible.
00:29:57 This house was renovated at the beginning of the year."
00:30:00 Kevin explained the situation slowly, without hiding anything.
00:30:04 After hearing that, Alan was speechless, while Eileen was so angry that her face turned beet
00:30:10 red.
00:30:11 She had never expected that Catherine, whom she had spoken so highly of, would do such
00:30:16 a heartless thing.
00:30:17 To earn a few million bucks, she had tried to sell her the place where four people had
00:30:22 died.
00:30:23 If she lived in such a house, she would probably die as well, likely within a hundred days.
00:30:29 Alan was also very happy.
00:30:31 Luckily, he brought Kevin here today.
00:30:33 If it weren't for Kevin, if it had just been him, Eileen, and Claire, the three newbies
00:30:38 would have been played perfectly by Jean-Luc and Catherine.
00:30:42 Not only would he be grateful to Catherine, but he might also think he owed her something.
00:30:47 "Alan, Eileen, there is a high-class residential area on the mountainside, and it has a 200
00:30:53 square meter house.
00:30:54 If the two of you don't mind, I would be happy to bring you guys over to take a look at it
00:30:58 immediately," Martin said.
00:31:01 Eileen waved her hand and smiled in embarrassment.
00:31:04 "Mr. Henderson, we can't afford to live in a 200 square meter house."
00:31:08 "Or a house in a high-class residential area on the mountainside?
00:31:13 One square meter of space costs $150,000.
00:31:18 So 200 square meters?
00:31:20 That was 30 million bucks!"
00:31:22 Even if Alan sold Eileen, he wouldn't be able to get 30 million.
00:31:27 Martin was surprised and said, "Oh, my dear, you might have misunderstood.
00:31:31 I'm not selling you that apartment."
00:31:33 "Not selling?"
00:31:35 Eileen was stunned.
00:31:36 "Could it be?"
00:31:38 Martin smiled.
00:31:39 "Just treat it as an apology gift from your friend Martin to the two of you."
00:31:45 The employees behind Martin took involuntary breaths and their breathing became more rapid.
00:31:51 A house worth over $30 million was being given away to Eileen and Alan by Mr. Henderson.
00:31:59 Even if they were high-ranking members within Beverly Hills, at this moment, their eyes
00:32:04 couldn't help but turn green with envy.
00:32:07 Eileen was also astonished.
00:32:08 However, she was soon overjoyed.
00:32:11 "Oh, Mr. Henderson, are you kidding?"
00:32:14 Martin shook his head and said, "Mrs. Wright, I'm not joking.
00:32:18 The situation occurred because one of our Beverly Hills employees did something wrong.
00:32:23 Therefore, it is only natural for me to compensate you and your husband for the shock you received."
00:32:28 "Martin, thank you.
00:32:31 Thank you."
00:32:32 Eileen was so excited that she almost knelt and kowtowed to him.
00:32:37 "Eileen!"
00:32:38 At this moment, Alan was glaring at Eileen in dissatisfaction.
00:32:41 Finally, he turned to Martin and said, "Mr. Henderson, Eileen, I...
00:32:47 I appreciate your kindness.
00:32:49 However, we cannot accept this house."
00:32:52 Unable to accept?
00:32:54 The entire audience went silent once again.
00:32:57 So they said no to a $30 million house?
00:33:01 Even Martin was slightly shocked.
00:33:03 Eileen's reaction was completely within his expectations.
00:33:06 However, Alan's reaction was not what he anticipated at all.
00:33:12 "Alan!"
00:33:13 Eileen stomped her feet in anger.
00:33:15 Was Alan crazy or something?
00:33:17 "A house worth over $30 million was given to you for free, yet you don't want it?"
00:33:24 Pulling Alan aside, Eileen lowered her voice and said angrily, "Why don't you want the
00:33:29 house?
00:33:30 Since Mr. Henderson wants to give it to us, we should accept it peacefully.
00:33:34 This is a $30 million house, not a $3 million one.
00:33:40 Even if it's worth $300 million, we can't take it."
00:33:44 Alan snorted coldly and said, "Alan, have you gone senile?"
00:33:49 Eileen gritted her teeth angrily.
00:33:50 "Tell me, why don't you want it?
00:33:54 Are you trying to act cool?"
00:33:55 "Stop acting high and mighty," Alan sighed angrily.
00:33:59 "The reason why I don't want this house is because of Kevin.
00:34:03 Mr. Henderson gave us this house so as not to offend Kevin.
00:34:08 Without Kevin, he probably wouldn't give this home to anyone, especially not people like
00:34:12 us.
00:34:13 So what?"
00:34:15 Eileen retorted.
00:34:16 "Since Mr. Henderson has given it to us, we will take it.
00:34:20 That piece of trash has already been in our family and our home for three years.
00:34:25 It's time for him to prove his worth."
00:34:26 "What do you know?"
00:34:29 Alan's face turned serious.
00:34:30 "Haven't you heard the saying, 'Nothing is truly free'?
00:34:34 The reason why this guy gave us a house must be because he feels like he owes us something.
00:34:40 To be more accurate, he feels like he owes Kevin something.
00:34:45 If we accept this house as a gift, Kevin would owe Mr. Henderson a favor."
00:34:49 ------------------------------
00:34:54 EPISODE 245.
00:34:56 Stepping Stone Closure
00:34:57 "So what if I owe Mr. Henderson a favor?"
00:35:01 Eileen interrupted.
00:35:02 "Most people would be unable to find a way to owe someone as important as him.
00:35:07 It would be a great honor for such a lowly family like ours to owe Martin Henderson a
00:35:11 favor.
00:35:12 You?"
00:35:13 ------------------------------
00:35:14 "In his opinion, Kevin and Martin must have a higher level game.
00:35:18 Even a small favor was a big deal in such a high level game.
00:35:21 You didn't want Kevin to owe Martin anything because of him."
00:35:25 "What about me?
00:35:27 Alan, let me tell you, I have decided to keep this house."
00:35:30 "You're not allowed to take it."
00:35:33 Then, seeing that Eileen was going to look for Martin again, Alan got anxious and pulled
00:35:38 Eileen back by the arm.
00:35:40 "Let go!"
00:35:42 Eileen gritted her teeth in anger.
00:35:43 "No, you're not allowed to take that house today."
00:35:47 Martin and the others naturally noticed the two of them arguing with each other.
00:35:52 Claire felt a little helpless.
00:35:54 She was someone who understood the relationship between Martin and Kevin from the beginning
00:35:58 to the end.
00:36:00 Therefore, she also understood that Martin giving gifts to Alan and Eileen had no other
00:36:05 intention than to get Kevin in his pocket.
00:36:08 Martin couldn't help but look at Kevin with a troubled expression.
00:36:12 Was this his intention?
00:36:14 Why were Alan and Eileen quarreling?
00:36:16 "Dad?"
00:36:18 Kevin walked to Alan's side and said with a smile, "Since Mr. Henderson gave you and
00:36:22 my mom a house, then you can take it."
00:36:26 Alan was more or less able to guess what Kevin was thinking.
00:36:29 In addition to being touched, Kevin could not help but feel helpless.
00:36:34 Alan was not clear about the relationship between him and Martin.
00:36:37 Martin knew it was impossible to make Kevin owe him a favor with just a $30 million house.
00:36:42 Alan was completely overthinking it.
00:36:45 "Kevin, won't that affect the relationship between you and Mr. Henderson?"
00:36:50 Alan was a little worried that it would affect Kevin.
00:36:54 Kevin shook his head and said, "Dad, my relationship with Martin is more complicated than you can
00:36:59 imagine."
00:37:00 "Alright then," Alan sighed.
00:37:04 Since Kevin had already made a decision, then he had nothing else to say.
00:37:09 Eileen was delighted.
00:37:10 "Mr. Henderson, let's look at the rooms."
00:37:14 Eileen walked in front of Martin impatiently.
00:37:17 Two hundred square meters and it was a high-class residential area.
00:37:22 Even the richest members of the Wright family didn't have such good living conditions.
00:37:26 "Alright?"
00:37:28 Martin had a smile, but inwardly, he despised Eileen.
00:37:32 A typical short-sighted person, all it took was a two hundred square meters high-class
00:37:37 house for Eileen to have this complacent attitude.
00:37:41 If Eileen knew that the son-in-law she had always looked down upon was already given
00:37:45 a thousand square meter villa on the mountain long ago, what kind of expression would she
00:37:50 have?
00:37:52 After they left, Alan and Eileen immediately got into Martin's Rolls Royce under the envious
00:37:57 gaze of the employees.
00:37:59 Kevin walked up to his broken Audi and took out the key.
00:38:03 This scene immediately shocked many of Martin's employees.
00:38:07 The young man that could make the big boss, Martin Henderson?
00:38:11 Treat him with such care was a cheap little Audi?
00:38:15 This car was not even half as good as their own.
00:38:17 Many of the employees had incredulous expressions.
00:38:20 They thought Kevin would be at the same level of wealth as Martin.
00:38:23 No matter how unlucky he was, he was still a super rich second generation.
00:38:29 Everyone assumed that if a guy like this drove his car, he would drive something like a Ferrari
00:38:34 or Mercedes-Benz S600.
00:38:37 However, Kevin just drove a normal old Audi.
00:38:42 He must be pretending.
00:38:43 They didn't believe a person Martin Henderson treated so seriously would drive a car worth
00:38:49 less than a million dollars.
00:38:51 Looking at the shocked expressions of the crowd, Ronan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
00:38:56 He thought it was a little humorous for Kevin to be driving an Audi today.
00:39:00 The big boss, Martin Henderson, had brought people to look at the big house.
00:39:04 This was the first time in the history of the entire development that he had opened
00:39:08 this house to prospective residents.
00:39:11 All the senior residential staff were shocked and came out to welcome Martin at the door.
00:39:17 Kevin's face was flushed, and she felt refreshed and at ease.
00:39:22 In all of her life, she had never felt this proud before.
00:39:25 To buy a house and have the richest man in Sacramento personally accompany you?
00:39:30 In the entire city, how many people have such a reputation?
00:39:35 Compared to Eileen, Alan was much calmer.
00:39:38 However, he was still a bit flattered.
00:39:41 As they walked up to the home, Alan sighed.
00:39:44 Letting Kevin marry into the right family three years ago was the wisest decision he
00:39:48 had made.
00:39:49 If they had not let Kevin into their family, they would never be able to step through the
00:39:54 gates of the Beverly Hills development, much less have the big boss, Martin Henderson himself,
00:39:59 accompany them to look at a home.
00:40:01 There was no problem with the house that Martin was showing them now.
00:40:04 Two hundred square meters, four rooms in a hall, an independent bath, and a small swimming
00:40:10 pool.
00:40:11 After Eileen entered the home, it was like when little orphan Annie entered her new home.
00:40:15 She looked left and right, smiling from ear to ear.
00:40:19 After looking at the house, Martin got the company staff to contact a few professional
00:40:23 refurbishing teams for Alan, preparing to renovate the house according to Eileen's ideas.
00:40:29 Alan and Claire helped from the side.
00:40:31 Kevin was too lazy to do these household chores, so he said goodbye and prepared to go back
00:40:36 down the mountain.
00:40:38 On the way, he received another call from Harry.
00:40:41 "Brother Kevin, where are you?"
00:40:43 "I'm in Beverly Hills," Kevin smiled bitterly.
00:40:48 Harry had called him almost daily for the past few days, saying he would give him the
00:40:51 five hundred million from the Goodsons.
00:40:54 Kevin naturally refused over and over, but this time Harry was determined to make it
00:40:58 happen.
00:40:59 No matter what Kevin said, he didn't want to keep the five hundred million.
00:41:04 "Beverly Hills?
00:41:07 Give me half an hour and I'll come to find you," Harry said.
00:41:10 "No need.
00:41:11 Where are you?
00:41:12 I'll come and find you."
00:41:13 Kevin smiled again.
00:41:14 He had left Beverly Hills half an hour ago.
00:41:17 "That's fine too.
00:41:19 I'm currently at the L.A. Tower Hotel, participating in my ex-girlfriend's wedding.
00:41:24 So if you're not far away, come over," Harry said.
00:41:27 "Alright."
00:41:28 Kevin nodded and hung up the phone.
00:41:31 Fifteen minutes later, Kevin arrived at the L.A. Tower Hotel.
00:41:35 After parking the car, Kevin went straight to the wedding hall on the top floor.
00:41:40 Inside the hall, lights and decorations were in full view.
00:41:44 Red light filled the sky.
00:41:46 Many guests were toasting each other.
00:41:48 Judging from their clothes and shoes and elegant demeanor, they were the social celebrities
00:41:52 and elites of the upper echelons.
00:41:55 Harry was sitting at a table near the door.
00:41:57 Today he was wearing the same flowery shirt on the mountain last time.
00:42:01 Although his ex-girlfriend was getting married, he didn't have a depressed expression on
00:42:05 his face.
00:42:06 Instead, he had a smile filled with blessings.
00:42:10 "Brother Kevin!"
00:42:12 Harry had been staring at the door, and when Kevin came in, he waved his hand in delight.
00:42:17 After he walked into the room and over to the table where Harry was seated, Harry smiled
00:42:21 and said, "Brother Kevin!
00:42:23 You're finally here!"
00:42:29 Episode 246 Ex-Boyfriend Freeloader
00:42:34 On this card is the 500 million dollars the Goodsons gave us as an apology.
00:42:38 "Take good care of it."
00:42:40 Harry smiled and slid a bank card across the table.
00:42:43 "Didn't I already say I am not lacking in money?
00:42:47 Take this money.
00:42:48 You and your family still need it."
00:42:50 Kevin smiled bitterly and did not pick it up.
00:42:53 "Brother Kevin, whether you are short on money or not is not your problem.
00:42:58 It's my problem.
00:42:59 You've already helped our family repay our 500 million dollar debt, so I don't have the
00:43:04 nerve to take any more of your money."
00:43:07 Harry spoke with a stern expression.
00:43:09 "This is not my money, it's Henry's money.
00:43:13 Brother Kevin, what you're saying is meaningless.
00:43:15 I, Harry Johnston, know better than anyone what I am capable of.
00:43:20 If not for your interference, it would be impossible for Henry to treat our family with
00:43:24 such respect.
00:43:26 But for preventing us from going bankrupt, we owe you immensely.
00:43:30 Don't add giving us money to the list of things we owe you for."
00:43:34 "Alright, brother Kevin, don't even think about objecting.
00:43:37 No matter what, you have to accept this money today.
00:43:41 Otherwise, I will know that you don't think of me, Harry, as a brother."
00:43:46 Harry said emotionally.
00:43:47 "Alright, I'll take it."
00:43:50 Kevin smiled wryly as he took the card.
00:43:53 Harry had already said his piece, it would be a bit rude if he didn't accept it now.
00:43:58 A smile appeared on Harry's face when Kevin accepted the card.
00:44:02 "This is my good brother."
00:44:05 Kevin shook his head with a smile, not knowing what to say to Harry.
00:44:09 But even he couldn't remain calm, facing 500 million.
00:44:13 "Kiss her!
00:44:15 Kiss her!"
00:44:16 Suddenly, the hall burst into an uproar.
00:44:19 Kevin turned his head and looked in the direction of the commotion.
00:44:23 He saw that a lot of guests were gathered together under the circular stage in the middle
00:44:26 of the hall.
00:44:27 At the center of the stage, a young bride shyly closed her eyes in a white wedding dress.
00:44:33 After that, a tall groom in a black suit passionately kissed her.
00:44:38 The crowd clamored once more and thunderous applause sounded.
00:44:42 Kevin couldn't help but glance at Harry.
00:44:44 He noticed that Harry still had a smile on his face, but there was a trace of unconcealable
00:44:49 loneliness deep in his eyes.
00:44:51 "You still like her?"
00:44:53 Kevin said with a smile.
00:44:54 "I don't like her anymore."
00:44:57 Harry shook his head, still wearing the same happy smile.
00:45:01 Kevin nodded slightly and didn't say anything.
00:45:04 Although he didn't know what happened between Harry and his ex-girlfriend, some people would
00:45:08 live their entire lives regretting the one who got away.
00:45:12 After the bride and groom had kissed, they began to toast each other at the table.
00:45:16 The hall was filled with a festive atmosphere.
00:45:19 Even Kevin's table felt a little boring.
00:45:22 Immediately after he said he still didn't have feelings for the bride, Harry poured
00:45:26 himself a glass of wine without a word and drank it all in one gulp.
00:45:31 At this moment, Kevin did not say anything enlightening.
00:45:35 As a brother, all he had to do was drink with Harry.
00:45:38 Soon, the groom and the bride arrived at the table with toasts.
00:45:42 Seeing Harry's flushed face, the bride avoided his gaze.
00:45:46 However, a hint of coldness flashed through the groom's eyes.
00:45:50 "Damn fat pig," his face seemed to say.
00:45:54 He walked up to Harry and said rudely, "What are you doing here?"
00:45:59 At this moment, Harry was a bit drunk.
00:46:02 Facing the groom's questioning, he was momentarily stunned.
00:46:05 However, he regained his composure and said apologetically, "Sorry, no one asked me to
00:46:11 come here.
00:46:12 I wanted to come see for myself."
00:46:13 "You wanted to come and see for yourself?"
00:46:17 The groom squinted his eyes and reprimanded Harry in a cold voice.
00:46:21 "This is Chelsea's and my wedding.
00:46:24 What are you doing here?"
00:46:26 "I came here to bless you and Chelsea."
00:46:29 "You think we need your blessing?"
00:46:32 Before Harry could finish his words, the groom mercilessly interrupted him.
00:46:36 "I think it's you, a damn fat pig who has an undying affection for my wife.
00:46:42 You're still in love with Chelsea."
00:46:44 The groom sneered.
00:46:45 Harry frowned.
00:46:46 "You're thinking too much."
00:46:48 "I'm not."
00:46:50 "You say you have no feelings for her.
00:46:53 A few days ago, you damned fat pig, you called Chelsea to ask her to marry you."
00:46:58 The groom was unable to control his anger.
00:47:01 Harry was silent.
00:47:02 "After a while," he said dejectedly.
00:47:05 "I'm sorry."
00:47:07 He did call Chelsea a few days ago because he still wanted to save her.
00:47:12 After all, she was a woman he had loved for four years in university.
00:47:16 "Shit."
00:47:17 The groom pointed towards the door mercilessly and threatened.
00:47:20 "I don't want to see you again.
00:47:23 If you ever dare to pester Chelsea again, you fat pig, I'll break your legs."
00:47:29 Harry stood up without a word and walked towards the door.
00:47:33 Kevin sighed and followed Harry.
00:47:35 "Fuck.
00:47:36 It's one thing for that damn fat pig to show up himself, but he even brought along a fucking
00:47:41 useless friend."
00:47:42 The groom couldn't help but curse.
00:47:45 Harry stopped walking and turned to look at the groom expressionlessly.
00:47:49 "Brother Kevin, isn't someone you should speak that way about?"
00:47:53 "Damn fat pig, didn't I fucking tell you to leave?"
00:47:57 The groom was furious.
00:47:59 He was already furious when he saw Harry and now?
00:48:03 Harry still dared to talk back in front of so many people?
00:48:07 This made him even more furious.
00:48:09 "I'll say it again.
00:48:11 Brother Kevin, he's not a freeloader."
00:48:15 Harry's face was as dark as water and he spoke each word.
00:48:19 The groom could insult him, but not Kevin.
00:48:23 After all, Kevin came to the hotel because of him.
00:48:26 Furthermore, with Kevin's wealth, why would he do something like crash a wedding to eat
00:48:31 for free?
00:48:32 "Not a freeloader?"
00:48:33 Kent, the groom, sneered and walked in front of Harry.
00:48:38 He glared at Harry and said, "You expect me to believe everything you say about him?
00:48:43 My friends, is this guy a freeloader like this damn fat pig?"
00:48:48 The groom opened his mouth loudly and asked with a mocking smile.
00:48:52 "Yeah, ha ha ha."
00:48:54 The crowd burst into laughter.
00:48:57 Most people standing in the hall were the groom's friends and relatives.
00:49:01 At this moment, they naturally sided with the groom.
00:49:04 "Did you hear that?
00:49:06 Damn fatty.
00:49:07 They all say yes."
00:49:09 The bridegroom continued to sneer at the provocation.
00:49:12 "Kent, don't go overboard."
00:49:16 Harry clenched his fists tightly as his cheeks flushed.
00:49:20 His eyes were brimming with rage.
00:49:22 "This guy here is the one going too far.
00:49:26 So what?
00:49:27 Are you going to bite me?"
00:49:29 Kent stretched out his hand and slapped Harry's face with an expression of humiliation.
00:49:34 Seeing that the veins on Harry's forehead were popping up and he was about to attack,
00:49:39 Kevin could not help but take a step forward and hold Harry back.
00:49:42 "Forget it, Harry.
00:49:44 Let's go."
00:49:45 Kevin sighed.
00:49:47 It was clear that Harry loved the bride, so Kevin did not want to ruin the wedding on
00:49:51 a whim.
00:49:52 "Good.
00:49:53 Let's go."
00:49:55 Harry gritted his teeth and took a deep breath.
00:49:58 However, just after the two turned around and took a few steps, Kent suddenly shouted,
00:50:03 "Wait!"
00:50:05 Harry stopped walking and said in a deep voice, "Kent, what else do you want?"
00:50:10 Kent smiled mockingly.
00:50:12 "My friend lost his watch."
00:50:13 "What does your friend losing his watch have to do with me?"
00:50:17 Harry said, suppressing his anger.
00:50:24 EPISODE 247 Celebrity Status Uncle
00:50:29 It doesn't have anything to do with you, but it's related to him.
00:50:33 Kent glanced at Kevin playfully.
00:50:35 Kevin frowned.
00:50:36 "Kent, what do you mean?"
00:50:39 Harry was furious.
00:50:40 "It's nothing.
00:50:41 Hey Pete, tell us how you lost your Rolex."
00:50:46 Kent glanced at a young man with gold-rimmed glasses.
00:50:49 The young man reacted very quickly.
00:50:52 He pointed at Kevin and said angrily, "That's him.
00:50:55 Just now when we were entering the hall he bumped into me and then the Rolex on my wrist
00:50:59 disappeared."
00:51:00 "Huh?"
00:51:01 The crowd burst into an uproar.
00:51:04 "I thought this guy was just a freeloader.
00:51:07 I didn't expect him to be a thief.
00:51:09 Damn, he stole something from here?
00:51:11 He's really tempting fate.
00:51:14 Furthermore, the thief stole a Rolex?
00:51:17 Pete's Rolex should be worth around three hundred thousand bucks.
00:51:20 Everyone forward, beat this thief to death!"
00:51:23 The crowd moved about, eager to give it a try.
00:51:26 The crowd surrounded Kevin and Harry with hostile gazes.
00:51:30 "Kent, are you fucking playing dirty with me?"
00:51:34 Harry gritted his teeth.
00:51:35 He never thought that Kent would dare to openly frame him in front of everyone.
00:51:39 "Damn fat pig, what are you talking about?
00:51:43 I don't understand."
00:51:45 Kent smiled, as if he did not care about Harry at all.
00:51:49 Since Harry and Kevin had a good relationship, then he would make everyone believe that Kevin
00:51:53 was a thief.
00:51:55 In short, he was willing to do anything that would humiliate Harry.
00:51:59 "Call the security guards up here.
00:52:01 Send these two guys to the police station."
00:52:04 Kent said indifferently, as if everything was under his control.
00:52:08 "Everyone look in your own pockets.
00:52:09 Do you have anything else with you?
00:52:12 After all, thieves don't leave empty handed.
00:52:14 This person may have stolen more than one Rolex."
00:52:17 Pete reminded him with a smile.
00:52:19 "Right, right.
00:52:20 Everyone quickly take a look.
00:52:22 Where's my necklace?
00:52:23 My wallet?"
00:52:24 "In the gold Christ locket."
00:52:26 Kent's friends panicked.
00:52:28 "Thief!"
00:52:30 "Interesting," Kevin said lightly.
00:52:33 His expression was calm, without any hint of joy or anger.
00:52:37 "Interesting?"
00:52:39 Kent's mouth twitched.
00:52:40 "Mr. Thief, are you talking to me?"
00:52:44 Kevin did not answer, but calmly asked, "Do you know what happens to those who slander
00:52:48 me?"
00:52:49 "What?
00:52:50 Do they die or something?"
00:52:54 Kent laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes.
00:52:58 He pointed at Kevin's nose and said, "You fucking thief.
00:53:02 You're talking to me about the outcome?
00:53:04 You know who I am.
00:53:06 My name is Kent London.
00:53:08 My uncle is named Warren London, and he is the successor of the London family."
00:53:13 Seeing no reaction from Kevin, Kent continued, "The London family?
00:53:18 Did you know about the London family?
00:53:21 Country bumpkin.
00:53:22 I don't know anything about them."
00:53:24 Kevin shook his head calmly.
00:53:26 "You don't know?
00:53:29 You fucking don't even know about the London family?"
00:53:32 Kent laughed so hard that he covered his stomach, as if he had never met someone who didn't
00:53:37 know about his family before.
00:53:39 After a while, he stopped laughing.
00:53:42 "Whatever.
00:53:43 It's normal for an idiot like you to not know about my family.
00:53:46 However, as a member of the London family, I have to let you know what my people do to
00:53:51 thieves."
00:53:52 A hint of malevolence flashed across Kent's eyes.
00:53:57 As he spoke, he raised his hand.
00:54:00 However, at this moment, a loud voice came from the entrance.
00:54:04 "Uncle Warren is here!"
00:54:07 The entire hall was in an uproar.
00:54:10 Kent's raised hand was still frozen in mid-air.
00:54:12 Then he dropped his hand and became overjoyed.
00:54:16 "Uncle Warren actually came?"
00:54:19 All of a sudden, Kent did not care about Kevin and Harry anymore.
00:54:23 Instead, he strode towards the door, greeting his favorite uncle personally.
00:54:28 "Kent sure is regarded highly within his family.
00:54:31 I can't believe that Uncle Warren actually came to his wedding.
00:54:35 Uncle Warren dotes on Kent, although Kent is only his distant nephew.
00:54:39 Every year, Uncle Warren will pay a fair bit of respect to Kent."
00:54:43 Kevin frowned and couldn't help but glance at the door.
00:54:47 He wanted to know who the "Uncle Warren" everyone was talking about was and why he
00:54:51 was acting so arrogantly.
00:54:54 Kevin couldn't help but be speechless when he saw a big, familiar, bald head staring
00:54:59 back at him.
00:55:00 "Isn't this Baldy the one who paid Eileen five million a few days ago in Beverly Hills?"
00:55:06 He ran the name around in his mind, "Warren London."
00:55:11 Although he felt it was familiar when Kent mentioned him earlier, it didn't match anyone
00:55:15 he remembered at that time.
00:55:17 Now that he saw the bald man himself, Kevin finally understood.
00:55:22 So the London family successor that Kent mentioned was the same Warren?
00:55:27 "I am here to bless you, little Kent."
00:55:31 In front of Warren, Kent was as meek as a rabbit.
00:55:35 Kent treated the outside world as lesser than he was because he was a member of the London
00:55:39 family, but only he himself knew that he was related to Warren London.
00:55:45 Even if he was just a distant relative who was beyond his reach.
00:55:49 The only relationship he had with the upper echelons of the London family was that he
00:55:53 shared their last name.
00:55:55 If he hadn't performed well in front of Warren and left an impression on him, he wouldn't
00:56:00 have had anything to do with that part of his family at all.
00:56:04 "Ha ha, little Kent, I'm not here to listen to your pleasantries.
00:56:09 I'm here to drink the wedding wine."
00:56:11 Warren smiled as he patted Kent's shoulder.
00:56:15 Today, his face was glowing and he seemed to be in a good mood.
00:56:19 "Well, your aunt and I came to this wedding in a hurry, but we didn't prepare anything
00:56:23 good for you as a gift.
00:56:25 Take this watch and let it be your wedding present."
00:56:28 Warren's wife smiled as she took out a watch.
00:56:31 The crowd burst into an uproar.
00:56:34 The watch that they gave the couple turned out to be a Patek Philippe.
00:56:39 The market price of this watch was as high as a few million dollars.
00:56:44 The meaning of Warren and his wife giving this watch to Kent on this day was very obvious.
00:56:49 They were hoping that Kent and Chelsea would live forever.
00:56:53 Kent was a little scared.
00:56:54 "Uncle Warren, please.
00:56:56 I'm already very satisfied with the two of you coming here.
00:56:59 I would never dare to accept such a precious gift on top of it all."
00:57:03 "Little Kent," Warren's face turned serious and he pretended to be angry.
00:57:08 "How can you say that?
00:57:10 It's just a watch.
00:57:11 What's so valuable about it?
00:57:13 You will only get married once in your life and if I want to give you a watch, what's
00:57:18 the problem?
00:57:19 Take it.
00:57:20 If you don't, your aunt and I will leave right now."
00:57:22 "Thank you, Uncle Warren," Kent's face lit up as he took the watch.
00:57:28 Looking at the envious gazes of his relatives, Kent felt like he was floating up to the sky.
00:57:34 Actually, the price of this watch was not important.
00:57:37 The most important thing was that the watch was a gift from Warren London.
00:57:42 This meant that his uncle valued him.
00:57:45 In the future, he, Kent, also has the possibility to enter the highest levels of the London
00:57:51 family and become a true upper class individual.
00:57:54 "Uncle, Auntie, this way please."
00:57:58 Kent bowed respectfully, intending to let his aunt and uncle sit at the main bridal
00:58:03 table.
00:58:04 "Alright," Warren said with a smile.
00:58:07 Just as he was about to take a step, he saw a familiar figure out of the corner of his
00:58:12 eye.
00:58:13 Suddenly, Warren's pupils constricted.
00:58:18 His nephew couldn't help but feel puzzled when he saw Warren stop in his way.
00:58:22 He followed Warren's gaze and saw Kevin and Harry standing there.
00:58:30 EPISODE 248 Propose Before Wedding
00:58:35 Kent was furious.
00:58:38 These two pieces of trash still hadn't left?
00:58:42 Thump, thump, thump.
00:58:44 Kent's footsteps were heavy as he walked in front of the security guards, pointed at Kevin
00:58:50 and Harry, and cursed.
00:58:51 "What are you guys still doing here?
00:58:54 Why are we letting this thief and this damn fat pig stand here?
00:58:58 Drag them away!"
00:58:59 "Drag them away?"
00:59:02 Hearing this, Warren and his wife, who had just walked up to Kevin and were about to
00:59:06 greet him, felt their hearts tighten and they almost stopped beating.
00:59:13 At this time, Kent walked in front of Warren and his wife with a big smile.
00:59:18 "Uncle, Auntie, don't get too close to these two.
00:59:22 These two are thieves.
00:59:23 Be careful of them stealing your things."
00:59:25 "Thieves?"
00:59:28 Warren's face turned pale again.
00:59:30 His wife felt her legs go weak.
00:59:34 Kevin had a faint smile on his face.
00:59:38 "Uncle Warren."
00:59:40 Kent smiled cock-wittishly, preparing to say something else.
00:59:45 However, all his words were slapped back into his mouth with a loud POW.
00:59:53 The one who made a move was naturally Warren.
00:59:57 At this moment, Warren's face was twisted and his face was ashen.
01:00:03 Even his lips were trembling.
01:00:06 Kent covered his face.
01:00:08 He was scared silly and asked in astonishment, "Uncle Warren, why did you hit me?"
01:00:15 "POW!"
01:00:16 The only response he received was another firm slap from Warren.
01:00:21 Kent was knocked to the ground with a face full of shock while blood flowed from his
01:00:26 lip.
01:00:27 The surrounding guests also looked at each other, confused.
01:00:33 Within the next second, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.
01:00:38 Warren walked up to Kevin, bowed respectfully and apologized.
01:00:42 "Mr. Bennett, I'm sorry."
01:00:46 Everyone in the hotel was petrified as if they were statues.
01:00:51 But then, the place was completely silent.
01:00:55 So quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
01:00:59 "Mr. Bennett?"
01:01:01 Kent in London called this thief Mr. Bennett as though he deserved respect?
01:01:08 What kind of international joke was this?
01:01:11 "Uncle Warren, did you think you knew this man?
01:01:15 This guy is just a beggar."
01:01:17 Kent also opened his eyes wide with disbelief written all over his face.
01:01:22 "Shut up!"
01:01:24 Warren shouted at his nephew with a serious face.
01:01:27 Someone who could afford to drive a Bugatti would not be a common thief.
01:01:32 "Mr. Bennett, Kent is just a distant cousin of mine.
01:01:36 His relationship with me..."
01:01:39 Before Warren could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Kevin with a smile.
01:01:43 "Mr. London, you don't need to explain.
01:01:46 I understand."
01:01:49 Warren smiled embarrassedly.
01:01:50 "It's good that you understand, Mr. Bennett.
01:01:54 It's very good that you understand.
01:01:57 You ungrateful heathen!
01:01:59 Kneel and apologize to Mr. Bennett!"
01:02:03 He did not know how Kent had offended Kevin, however, he had a rough idea about Kevin's
01:02:08 background and knew that it was someone that even Martin Henderson had to welcome with
01:02:12 a smile.
01:02:14 If Kent did not apologize and provoked Kevin's anger, he would not see the sun the following
01:02:20 day.
01:02:21 Even his own family was affected.
01:02:23 Voices rose among the guests, discussing what was happening before their eyes.
01:02:28 "Is he going to make Kent kneel and apologize?
01:02:32 Just who is this guy?"
01:02:34 Kent covered his face and felt so ashamed that he wanted to die.
01:02:38 "I won't kneel!"
01:02:40 Kent gritted his teeth as he spoke.
01:02:43 If it were only Kevin alone, he would have knelt without a problem.
01:02:47 But beside Kevin, there was still his greatest rival.
01:02:52 Harry.
01:02:53 He could not bring himself to kneel in front of his greatest rival.
01:02:57 "What did you say?"
01:03:00 Warren's face suddenly turned dark.
01:03:03 "I said, I'm not kneeling!"
01:03:07 Kent looked straight at Warren, not giving in at all.
01:03:11 Even though Kevin had a great background, he did not believe Kevin would do anything
01:03:16 to him.
01:03:17 Worst case scenario, he would bring Chelsea with him and leave Sacramento after today.
01:03:21 The world was vast and where could he not go?
01:03:25 "You!"
01:03:27 Warren could not contain his anger.
01:03:29 He raised his hand in frustration and prepared to slap Kent a third time.
01:03:35 Before he released his fury, he was interrupted by Kevin's calm voice.
01:03:39 "Forget it," Kevin said lightly.
01:03:42 "Since your nephew Kent doesn't want to kneel, there's no need to force him."
01:03:47 "Okay, I'll listen to you, Mr. Bennett."
01:03:51 Warren lowered his hand as he spoke respectfully.
01:03:54 He did not know why Kevin would dismiss Kent that way, but he had already done his best
01:03:59 to save him.
01:04:00 But unfortunately, since Kent wanted to tempt fate, there was nothing he could do about
01:04:07 it.
01:04:08 "Harry, let's go."
01:04:11 Kevin glanced at Harry and was about to tell him to leave, but Harry's gaze was on Chelsea
01:04:16 standing next to Kent.
01:04:18 Chelsea also bit her lip and looked at Harry with her red eyes.
01:04:22 "Chelsea?"
01:04:24 Harry's lips moved as if he wanted to say something.
01:04:28 However, when the words were about to reach his mouth, he swallowed them.
01:04:34 Harry's performance also made Chelsea's heart instantly turn to ashes.
01:04:39 Tears welled up in her eyes like beads with broken strings.
01:04:42 "Do you still love Harry?"
01:04:45 Seeing that Chelsea was about to turn around and leave, Kevin couldn't help but step in.
01:04:50 From the looks of the situation, if he didn't help Harry, he would never have had another
01:04:55 chance with Chelsea in this lifetime.
01:04:58 What Kevin said was like a clap of thunder that finally woke Harry up.
01:05:02 "Yes, Chelsea, are you willing to marry me instead?"
01:05:06 Harry stepped forward and held Chelsea's hand.
01:05:09 "Let her go, you fat pig."
01:05:12 Kent's eyes turned red as he raised his fist and punched Harry's face.
01:05:19 Kevin frowned and then lightly reached his hand to grasp Kent's wrist before making contact.
01:05:25 "Let go."
01:05:27 Kent's expression was one of insanity, as if he was a vicious beast that had been waiting
01:05:32 to devour someone.
01:05:33 "I will let you go when she makes her choice."
01:05:38 He could tell that Harry and Chelsea both had feelings for each other in their hearts.
01:05:42 If they missed this chance, the two would regret it for the rest of their lives.
01:05:48 Kevin did not want Harry to regret it.
01:05:50 Instead, he hoped that Harry could overcome the hurdle in his heart.
01:05:54 "Chelsea, are you willing to come with me?"
01:05:58 Harry asked again.
01:06:00 Chelsea didn't say anything.
01:06:02 Then, Harry knelt on one knee, picked up a metal bottle cap from the ground and held
01:06:07 it up high.
01:06:08 "Chelsea, please, marry me."
01:06:12 It was a very dramatic scene.
01:06:15 However, no one in the audience laughed.
01:06:18 Instead, many of them were moved.
01:06:22 "Alright."
01:06:23 Tears rose in Chelsea's eyes as she took the cap from Harry.
01:06:28 "Bitch!"
01:06:30 Kent was hysterical and went crazy.
01:06:33 He grabbed the bottle of wine on the table and pounced toward Harry like a mad dog.
01:06:38 "Bang!"
01:06:39 Kevin sneered and kicked him hard, sending him flying over twenty feet away.
01:06:45 "Chelsea, I love you."
01:06:48 Harry held her tightly in his arms with tears in his fierce eyes.
01:06:51 "I love you too."
01:06:54 Chelsea sobbed silently.
01:06:55 "You're not allowed to marry him."
01:06:58 At this moment, an older man wearing a suit walked over angrily.
01:07:03 He pushed Harry away and pulled Chelsea behind him.
01:07:07 She glared at Harry and said, "Chelsea is a member of my family, and she is now Kent
01:07:13 London's wife.
01:07:14 Who do you think you are?
01:07:17 What right do you have to propose to her?"
01:07:20 "Dad."
01:07:21 Chelsea wanted to cry and plead for Harry.
01:07:24 However, the older man raised his hand and slapped her across her pretty face.
01:07:29 "Do you still have any sense of shame?
01:07:33 You are Mr. London's wife, not a slut that anyone can marry."
01:07:38 The older man in the suit scalded her angrily.
01:07:44 EPISODE 249.
01:07:46 Most Expensive Bride
01:07:47 "Sir, Chelsea hasn't officially married Kent yet."
01:07:52 Harry suppressed his anger.
01:07:53 If it weren't for this suited man being Chelsea's father, Harry would have been able to speak
01:07:58 up more firmly, but he wanted to be respectful.
01:08:02 "I've already accepted the certificate, so what do you mean they aren't married yet?"
01:08:07 The old man's eyes widened as he pointed at Harry's nose and cursed.
01:08:12 "If it weren't for you messing things up, my daughter would have already entered the
01:08:16 bridal chamber with Kent."
01:08:19 He was very satisfied with Kent.
01:08:20 He was tactful, knew how to behave appropriately, and was extremely loyal to him.
01:08:26 Of course, the most important thing was that Kent was already a billionaire at such a young
01:08:30 age.
01:08:31 He owned two companies under his name and was a strong character among men.
01:08:36 He liked Harry because he was his daughter's first love at university, but according to
01:08:40 word on the street, Harry's family is of the ordinary working class and runs a restaurant.
01:08:47 Compared to Kent, Harry was a pauper.
01:08:50 How could he marry his daughter to such a poor man?
01:08:53 "Sir, what must I do for you to be willing to let me take Chelsea away?"
01:08:58 He had already missed his chance once.
01:09:00 He did not want to miss it a second time.
01:09:03 At that time, he was still not the successor of the Johnston family, but he was under their
01:09:08 control.
01:09:09 He was also not allowed to reveal the business situation of his family, so he could only
01:09:13 lie to Chelsea.
01:09:15 Chelsea believed his lies to be true.
01:09:17 As a result, her father always treated him with contempt and felt he was just a poor
01:09:22 kid.
01:09:23 Being with Chelsea was like a toad wanting to eat swan meat.
01:09:27 "Ten million dollars!"
01:09:28 Her father shouted.
01:09:30 If you can give me ten million as a gift, I'll let Chelsea marry you.
01:09:35 The crowd became restless once again.
01:09:37 Ten million?
01:09:39 Typical.
01:09:40 Demanding a sky-high gift to prove that he was not worthy.
01:09:44 Even many of the society's elites present couldn't afford such a large sum of money.
01:09:50 Of course, even if they could afford it, they wouldn't be willing to give the ten million
01:09:54 away to marry a woman.
01:09:56 Because that was not worth it at all.
01:09:59 Chelsea's father's words indicated that he wanted Harry to withdraw his offer to save
01:10:04 himself.
01:10:05 However, to everyone's surprise, Harry only calmly spat out one word.
01:10:11 "Alright?"
01:10:12 The entire audience was stunned.
01:10:15 Chelsea's father also furrowed his brows.
01:10:17 "You have ten million to spare?
01:10:20 And you want to spend it this way?
01:10:22 I may be old, but this old man is not confused.
01:10:25 So please, don't make empty promises."
01:10:29 Chelsea's father coldly snorted.
01:10:31 "I don't have the ten million in my pocket right now, but I can gather it.
01:10:36 Give me three days at most.
01:10:37 In three days, I can gather ten million."
01:10:40 Now that his family had given the money back, the cash flow within the family had weakened.
01:10:46 But it was still possible to gather some money.
01:10:49 He felt confident he could raise ten million.
01:10:51 "Dad, don't believe this damn fat pig.
01:10:55 He will never be able to get ten million together in time."
01:10:59 Kent had his hand on his forehead and spoke resentfully.
01:11:02 He felt confident that Harry couldn't gather ten million dollars in three days.
01:11:07 But Kevin could.
01:11:09 Although he still didn't know Kevin's background, he knew that Kevin could easily afford ten
01:11:14 million.
01:11:15 If Kevin were to lend his money to Harry, would his father agree or go back on the deal?
01:11:21 "Sir, please trust me."
01:11:24 Harry said in a deep voice.
01:11:26 Chelsea's father shook his head and said, "I've changed my mind.
01:11:30 It's now one hundred million.
01:11:32 If you can afford one hundred million, I will hand Chelsea over to you myself."
01:11:36 "One hundred million?"
01:11:38 "Sir!"
01:11:40 Harry was angry.
01:11:41 "Are you allowing your daughter to marry or selling her off?"
01:11:45 Harry's chest was heaving up and down.
01:11:48 If the ten million just now was a small problem, the one hundred million was already a heavy
01:11:53 burden.
01:11:54 Forget about his family.
01:11:56 Even if they could, they wouldn't give him a hundred million to give away as a gift.
01:12:00 It was clear that Chelsea's father didn't want to marry her off to him.
01:12:04 "Is there any difference?"
01:12:06 Chelsea's father snickered.
01:12:08 Even if he sold his daughter, what could anyone do to him?
01:12:11 "If you can afford one hundred million, I'll let you and Chelsea get married on the spot.
01:12:16 If you can't, run as far away as you can."
01:12:21 Her father's cold voice rang out as he decided what he wanted to say.
01:12:26 "You fat pig!
01:12:28 Do you have one hundred million?"
01:12:31 Kent laughed loudly.
01:12:33 As long as her father was on his side, no one would be able to snatch Chelsea away.
01:12:38 "I didn't think so."
01:12:40 Kent let out a mocking smile.
01:12:42 Then, looking at Harry's flushed face, he felt that all the grievances he had just suffered
01:12:48 were swept away.
01:12:49 "If you don't have it, get back to being a poor bastard.
01:12:54 Only I am worthy of Chelsea, you fat stupid pig.
01:12:59 Don't even think about trying to take her again."
01:13:01 Kent spoke in a high and mighty tone.
01:13:04 "Pretty confident, aren't you?"
01:13:06 At this time, an indifferent voice sounded, attracting everyone's attention.
01:13:11 With a calm expression, Kevin walked toward Kent with his hands behind his back.
01:13:17 Kent instinctively took two steps back with fear in his eyes.
01:13:20 "You think Harry doesn't have a hundred million?"
01:13:23 Kevin said lightly as he looked at Kent.
01:13:26 Kent gritted his teeth and braced himself to speak.
01:13:29 "No, I don't think he does.
01:13:32 That damn fat pig, he's just a poor bloke.
01:13:34 He can't possibly have a hundred million."
01:13:36 "What if he does?"
01:13:39 Kevin smiled playfully.
01:13:40 "If he has it, I'll jump out the window."
01:13:44 Kent was furious.
01:13:46 This was the top floor of the LA Tower Hotel, which was over thirty stories high.
01:13:51 If he jumped out of the window on this floor, he would be smashed into a pile of meat paste.
01:13:57 "Alright, remember your own words."
01:14:00 Kevin smiled.
01:14:02 Kevin's confident look made Kent uneasy.
01:14:04 He reminded him again.
01:14:06 "He has to pay a hundred million, not you."
01:14:10 Kevin didn't pay any attention to Kent.
01:14:12 Instead, he walked up to Chelsea's father and calmly asked, "You want a hundred million
01:14:17 as your gift?"
01:14:18 "What?
01:14:19 You want to pay me instead of him?"
01:14:21 He was very clear about Harry's background, but he didn't know anything about Kevin.
01:14:27 However, from Warren's previous reaction, it was clear that Kevin had an extraordinary
01:14:32 history.
01:14:34 If Kevin wanted to stand up for Harry, he had no choice but to accept it.
01:14:38 Kevin shook his head.
01:14:39 "I won't pay for him.
01:14:41 He'll pay for it himself."
01:14:42 "Him?"
01:14:44 Chelsea's father laughed jokingly.
01:14:46 He didn't think Harry could ever afford to give him a hundred million.
01:14:50 Kevin smiled and took out Harry's bank card.
01:14:52 "This is Harry's card.
01:14:54 This card has five hundred million on it."
01:14:57 "Five hundred million?"
01:15:00 Everyone could not help but gasp.
01:15:03 Chelsea's father sneered.
01:15:04 "You said this is his card.
01:15:07 Is this his card?
01:15:08 And it has five hundred million?
01:15:11 Do you think old men forget everything they've ever known about money when they get old?"
01:15:16 If he had said that the card had five hundred thousand or five million dollars, he would
01:15:20 believe it.
01:15:21 But five hundred million?
01:15:24 He wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death.
01:15:27 He was also someone who had experienced the world.
01:15:30 He had interacted with several rich people who were worth over a billion, but there had
01:15:34 never been a person who dared to say that he had five hundred million ready to go on
01:15:39 a card.
01:15:40 Cash and fixed assets were different.
01:15:42 If a person had five hundred million in cash just lying around, his fixed assets must be
01:15:47 worth at least ten billion.
01:15:50 Chelsea's father caught himself.
01:15:52 If this person had a worth of over ten billion dollars, then why was he spending five hundred
01:15:56 million to marry his daughter?
01:15:59 Surely there were other women for him.
01:16:01 This was outrageous.
01:16:06 EPISODE 250
01:16:07 Lovesick Cupid
01:16:08 "You don't believe me?"
01:16:11 Kevin raised his eyebrows.
01:16:12 "I don't believe you."
01:16:14 Chelsea's father's expression was cold.
01:16:17 "If this card has five hundred million dollars on it, then I will retract my request for
01:16:21 the hundred million dollar betrothal gift.
01:16:24 I can marry Chelsea to you for free."
01:16:26 But then Chelsea's father lost his temper.
01:16:30 First, he was betting that Kevin was trying to scare him, and then he was planning to
01:16:35 help Harry get back at him.
01:16:37 All right.
01:16:38 Kevin was calm and concise.
01:16:40 The entire guest was once again filled with the sound of endless discussion.
01:16:45 "Five hundred million?
01:16:47 Impossible.
01:16:48 I also think that's impossible.
01:16:50 Let's not talk about whether he has five hundred million to his name.
01:16:54 Even if he does, how can he possibly have five hundred million on him right now?"
01:16:59 Before Warren showed up, if Kevin had dared to say that either of them had five hundred
01:17:03 million, he would be sprayed with dog blood for lying.
01:17:07 When Warren arrived, his reaction alone proved that Kevin was not ordinary.
01:17:12 However, no one was certain whether or not he could get five hundred million at one go.
01:17:18 Furthermore, Kevin's original words were, "Harry has five hundred million."
01:17:24 This was even more unbelievable.
01:17:26 Many relatives in Chelsea's family knew about the relationship between Chelsea and Harry
01:17:30 when they were in university.
01:17:32 They were well aware of Harry's family background.
01:17:35 Even gathering five hundred thousand dollars would be nearly impossible for that family,
01:17:40 not to mention five hundred million.
01:17:42 Therefore, everyone felt that Kevin was trying to attract attention.
01:17:47 Very quickly, L.A. Tower Hotel's financial department walked over, took Kevin's bank
01:17:53 card, and went to check its value.
01:17:56 The atmosphere in the hall was a little strange.
01:18:00 Several people were waiting to see Kevin and Harry become a joke.
01:18:03 The two involved, Kevin and Harry, were extremely calm.
01:18:08 They were so calm that Kent started to panic.
01:18:12 What if there were five hundred million dollars on that card?
01:18:15 Did he have to jump out that window like he said he would?
01:18:18 Chelsea's father was also extremely nervous, even regretting that he had boasted just now.
01:18:24 If Kevin's card contained five hundred million dollars, he would have to give his daughter
01:18:29 to Harry for free.
01:18:31 The hotel's finance officer walked over with an asset certificate a few minutes later.
01:18:37 Everyone was looking forward to it.
01:18:39 Kent was the first to go up to them.
01:18:42 He couldn't wait any longer.
01:18:43 How much money does the card have?
01:18:45 The hotel employee did not immediately respond to Kent, but respectfully handed the card
01:18:51 back to Kevin.
01:18:52 Only then did he look at Kent with pity.
01:18:56 "Mr. London, the balance of the bank card Mr. Bennett gave me is five hundred million."
01:19:02 "Whoa!"
01:19:05 The entire hall was shocked.
01:19:08 There was actually five hundred million?
01:19:11 Thump, thump, thump.
01:19:13 Kent took three uncontrollable steps back, and his face instantly turned pale.
01:19:18 At this moment, he felt as if someone had pounded on his heart with a heavy hammer,
01:19:25 making it difficult for him to breathe.
01:19:27 "No, impossible.
01:19:30 That's impossible," Kent muttered.
01:19:33 He could not accept this fact.
01:19:35 The hotel employee shook his head and did not say anything.
01:19:39 Instead, he just looked at Kent with sympathy.
01:19:43 How do we know whose money it is?
01:19:45 Who was the owner of the card?
01:19:47 Is it him?
01:19:48 As if he had thought of something, Kent's eyes lit up again as he pointed at Kevin and
01:19:52 shouted excitedly.
01:19:54 The finance department had only said that the card had five hundred million dollars
01:19:58 on it.
01:19:59 They didn't say who the cardholder was.
01:20:02 If the cardholder were Kevin, then he wouldn't have truly lost.
01:20:06 When he made a bet with Kevin, he bet that Harry did not have five hundred million on
01:20:10 his card.
01:20:11 The finance employee shook his head again and sighed.
01:20:15 The cardholder is Mr. Johnston.
01:20:17 Mr. Johnston?
01:20:19 No.
01:20:21 Many of Chelsea's present relatives took in deep breaths, and their gazes toward Harry
01:20:26 were disbelief.
01:20:28 The five hundred million did belong to that poor bastard?
01:20:33 Impossible.
01:20:34 Impossible, Kent shook his head in confusion.
01:20:38 You must be lying to me.
01:20:40 Kent was somewhat hysterical, as if he had gone insane.
01:20:43 Look for yourself, Mr. London.
01:20:45 I promise we weren't lying to you.
01:20:48 The employee handed the certificate of assets to Kent.
01:20:51 Kent took it with a tremble and glanced at the balance.
01:20:55 Five hundred million dollars.
01:20:59 It was five hundred million.
01:21:02 Although he could not believe it, Kent still took a deep breath.
01:21:06 Then, he forcefully suppressed the dizziness from the depths of his mind and continued
01:21:12 looking down at the piece of paper in his hands.
01:21:16 Card owner, Harry Johnston.
01:21:19 Kent's heart trembled.
01:21:22 These four words destroyed the last line of defense in his heart.
01:21:27 His vision began to darken.
01:21:30 Flunk.
01:21:31 Kent fainted on the ground.
01:21:33 At this moment, Chelsea's father's heart was dead.
01:21:37 From the moment he knew that this poor bastard had five hundred million dollars, he knew
01:21:42 that he had lost.
01:21:44 Now that the money was confirmed and the owner was revealed, he had to marry Chelsea to Harry
01:21:50 today.
01:21:51 Normal people could only see the monstrous amount of money on the bank card, but Kent
01:21:56 could see the hidden power behind the card.
01:21:59 It was just as he thought.
01:22:01 If a person could pull out five hundred million in cash, that person's total assets would
01:22:07 be worth more than ten billion dollars.
01:22:11 Ten billion.
01:22:12 That was a symbol of a first-tier family.
01:22:16 Would he dare to offend the first-tier clan?
01:22:19 "Chelsea, come over and stand with Harry."
01:22:23 Chelsea breathed a sigh of relief as her father pulled her over and placed her hand in Harry's.
01:22:29 Harry had given in.
01:22:30 "Dad, thank you."
01:22:34 Chelsea wiped away her tears.
01:22:36 Although the process was complicated, the result was still beautiful.
01:22:40 "Sir, don't worry.
01:22:43 I will take good care of your daughter."
01:22:46 Harry tightly held Chelsea's hand and spoke in a deep voice.
01:22:51 Regardless of how unreasonable the man was just now, he was still Chelsea's father.
01:22:56 Once he married her, they would be a family.
01:23:00 No contradiction in a family couldn't be resolved.
01:23:03 "I believe you," Chelsea nodded, but the smile on her father's face was a little forced.
01:23:09 At this time, Kevin smiled and said, "How much of a patrol gift did Kent give you?"
01:23:16 Chelsea's father was stunned and said, "Why are you asking about this, Mr. Bennett?
01:23:21 This old man is willing to admit defeat.
01:23:22 I said I do not need a single dollar as a gift, so..."
01:23:27 "I do not need a single dollar."
01:23:30 Kevin raised his hand to interrupt him.
01:23:32 "Whether you want it or not is your problem, but whether you get it or not is a matter
01:23:37 between Harry and me."
01:23:39 Harry spoke up next.
01:23:40 "Other people can give plenty of things to your daughter, but with me...
01:23:45 Harry... we will not be short of anything."
01:23:48 "Tell me," Kevin continued.
01:23:50 "How much did Kent give you?"
01:23:53 "Five million."
01:23:54 He was stunned by Kevin's overbearing attitude.
01:23:57 "All right.
01:23:59 Then we'll give you... fifty million," Kevin said lightly.
01:24:03 "Fifty million?
01:24:06 Fifty million for the patrol gift?"
01:24:08 It was tenfold what Kent had offered.
01:24:10 The breathing of the guests became rapid.
01:24:13 He was rich.
01:24:15 This overbearing attitude was typical of a rich man.
01:24:19 Before, they didn't know what a tycoon was, but after seeing Kevin give away that amount
01:24:24 of money as a gift without changing his expression, they finally knew.
01:24:31 This was a true tycoon.
01:24:34 Warren and his wife were also stunned.
01:24:36 Their family wouldn't even be able to match a gift of fifty million.
01:24:41 Kevin was truly inhuman.
01:24:43 Harry clenched his fist tightly.
01:24:46 This time, he did not try to argue with Kevin.
01:24:49 Kevin had already done so much for him.
01:24:52 Harry would not be treating Kevin as his brother if he argued with Kevin again.
01:24:56 Moreover, just as Kevin had said, Harry could provide the same level of comfort and care
01:25:01 to Chelsea as Kent could.
01:25:03 Harry wouldn't be missing a single point.
01:25:05 They would not be lacking food or a home.
01:25:09 This time, he was going to stomp Kent to death.
