00:00:00 "Inconvenient? What's so inconvenient about it? Isn't this garbage here? Can't you just
00:00:07 let him take care of Claire?"
00:00:11 This sentence of Eileen's was annoying, but it further confirmed the thoughts in her heart.
00:00:17 This so-called big house was completely fake, so it must be Eileen acting tough. Otherwise,
00:00:25 she would not be so mysterious.
00:00:27 "That's right. Just let Kevin take care of Claire. Then, please take my mom and me to
00:00:34 see your house. Mom said it's worth over four million dollars, but I've never seen a house
00:00:40 worth that much."
00:00:42 A smile appeared on Roxy's pretty face, but there was a hint of ridicule deep within that
00:00:47 smile. She couldn't even afford to live in a house that expensive, let alone a poor relative
00:00:53 like Eileen.
00:00:54 "Alright then, I will bring you over to have a look," Eileen agreed.
00:01:01 She secretly wanted to show off and boast in front of Amy. She wanted to tell Amy that
00:01:07 even though her family wasn't as rich as Amy's, her future was still bright, because the house
00:01:13 she lived in was given to her by the richest man in Sacramento, Martin Henderson.
00:01:19 "Take good care of Claire. I'll bring your aunt to visit." Eileen glanced at Kevin coldly.
00:01:26 Then she left the hospital with Amy and Roxy.
00:01:30 Kevin shook his head. He found that each of Eileen's relatives he met was worse than the
00:01:35 last one. This Amy was the worst of them all.
00:01:39 Claire was injured, but from the moment she entered the hospital until she left, she did
00:01:44 not care about Claire. It was as if Claire's life and death meant nothing to her. It was
00:01:51 cold to the extreme.
00:01:53 In Amy's eyes, her so-called relatives were just a means to an end.
00:01:59 Half an hour later, Eileen brought Amy and Roxy to Beverly Hills. Eileen was calm all
00:02:05 the way, but Amy and her daughter were not. Especially Amy. Her uneasiness was written
00:02:12 all over her face.
00:02:14 "Mom, would Martin Henderson give Eileen a house? Would he?" Roxy whispered as the mother
00:02:22 and daughter walked in the back.
00:02:24 In Sacramento, Martin's reputation was still very high. With $30 billion in assets, he
00:02:31 stood at the top of Sacramento's wealth board.
00:02:35 Even in an international city like Rosemont, Martin's assets could be ranked in the top
00:02:40 30. To be in a position to receive such an incredible gift, like this extremely expensive
00:02:46 house, from one of the wealthiest people in the city, meant that Eileen had formed some
00:02:52 important relationships with very powerful people.
00:02:57 If Eileen had a relationship with the richest man in the city, then she would no longer
00:03:01 be a poor relative. At the very least, in the line of the London family, Eileen's position
00:03:08 would be not much lower than Amy's.
00:03:11 With uneasy feelings, the two followed Eileen and finally arrived at the right family gate.
00:03:19 Seeing Eileen take out the key to open the door, the nervousness in their hearts grew
00:03:23 even stronger.
00:03:25 "Amy, Roxy, here are your slippers."
00:03:29 Upon entering, Eileen took out two pairs of slippers, preparing to tell the two of them
00:03:34 to put them on.
00:03:36 However, the two women didn't even look at Eileen as they entered the room and started
00:03:41 looking all over the place, as if they were searching.
00:03:45 The total area of the house was 8,000 square feet. The living room alone was 1,000 square
00:03:52 feet, with four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen and a small swimming pool.
00:03:59 The more Amy and her daughter saw, the more they were shocked and jealous. Such a large
00:04:05 house was something that not even her family could afford to live in. Furthermore, they
00:04:10 had seen the surrounding neighborhood where the home was located on their way in. It was
00:04:15 top-notch, upscale residential area.
00:04:20 Amy was so jealous of the grand nature of the house that she was on the verge of going
00:04:25 insane. How could someone like Eileen be able to live in a house worth so much?
00:04:31 "Mom, could it be that Eileen rented this house?"
00:04:36 She could not accept that Eileen lived in such a place.
00:04:40 At this moment, Amy's thoughts were in complete disarray. Hearing Roxy's words, she instantly
00:04:47 became angry. It wasn't that Eileen was incapable of using a rented house as her own.
00:04:54 "Eileen, how big is your house?"
00:04:58 Although she wanted to prove her thoughts, Amy did not ask directly. Instead, she wanted
00:05:04 to be tactful.
00:05:06 "6,000 square feet," Eileen laughed.
00:05:10 "6,000 square feet."
00:05:12 Amy nodded slightly and asked again.
00:05:15 "Do you have a title certificate? I'd like to see what a 6,000 square feet property certificate
00:05:21 looks like."
00:05:22 "Yes," Eileen smiled faintly, as if she had already expected Amy to ask such a question,
00:05:29 and took out the certificate from behind her.
00:05:33 Amy's expression slightly changed. She took the book and quickly flipped through a few
00:05:38 pages. When Amy saw that the owner's name was Eileen, her expression changed greatly.
00:05:45 "It's true. This house is Eileen's. Furthermore, only Eileen's name was written on the certificate."
00:05:56 Amy's face was burning with pain. She had already been slapped twice in the face by
00:06:01 Eileen.
00:06:02 "Amy, why do you look so bad? Is there something wrong with my property certificate?" Eileen
00:06:10 asked, even though she knew the answer.
00:06:13 She was already overjoyed. She had known all along the reason why Amy came here, and the
00:06:19 more she found out, the happier she became. She had fought with Amy for so many years
00:06:25 that she already knew what kind of person she was.
00:06:29 Her relatives and friends, they could only accept those who were worse off than them,
00:06:34 but definitely those who were better off than them.
00:06:39 "No, no problem," Amy shook her head, forcefully suppressing her unsightly expression. Without
00:06:47 a doubt, she'd lost to Eileen this time.
00:06:51 "Eileen, you said that your house was given to you by the wealthiest person in Sacramento?"
00:06:57 Amy asked unwillingly.
00:07:00 Although the house belonged to Eileen, she still didn't believe that Martin had just
00:07:05 given the house to Eileen.
00:07:07 It was a $4 million house, not a cabbage. How could he give it away so easily?
00:07:15 Eileen nodded.
00:07:16 "Yes, that's right. First, Martin showed this place to us personally. Then, after I checked
00:07:23 the house, he made me write my name on the property certificate and had the sales department
00:07:28 give me the key."
00:07:29 "Why did he do that?" Roxy continued to ask.
00:07:34 "Because the sales staff wanted to sell me a dead house."
00:07:39 Eileen did not intend to hide the truth, so she told them the whole truth.
00:07:44 When they found out that Eileen had obtained a $4 million house in such a way, Amy and
00:07:51 her daughter's eyeballs nearly popped out of their sockets.
00:07:54 "Does that work?"
00:07:57 "Eileen, your life is too good."
00:08:01 Other than having good luck, she didn't know what else to say to Eileen.
00:08:05 She had originally planned to buy a house for less than $1 million, but instead, she
00:08:10 was accidentally sent this one.
00:08:18 They couldn't believe how fortunate Eileen had been.
00:08:22 "Eileen, I think you should thank Martin. If not for his kindness and generosity, you
00:08:28 wouldn't have been able to live in such a great house."
00:08:32 Roxy had attributed all this to Martin, and she felt that if he hadn't been merciful,
00:08:38 Eileen would now be living in a dead house, not here.
00:08:42 "Roxy, you're right. I should thank Martin properly."
00:08:47 Although Eileen said this, she didn't mean it at all.
00:08:52 How could she not see that the two of them said this because they were jealous of her?
00:08:57 Looking at Eileen's complacent expression, Amy felt upset.
00:09:02 She still could not accept that her poor relatives, who had been too lazy to bother with her in
00:09:07 the past, would live in a house worth more than $40 million.
00:09:12 However, Amy didn't say anything more despite the turmoil in her heart.
00:09:19 Eileen might be living in a mansion, but it wouldn't change who she was.
00:09:24 Deep down, Eileen was still a poor person.
00:09:29 A truly rich person must have not only a fancy house, but also powerful connections.
00:09:36 Although Eileen had a house now, the connections that the rich valued the most had nothing
00:09:41 to do with Eileen.
00:09:43 It was not hard to tell from Eileen's words that the reason Martin gave her this house
00:09:48 was to cover her mistakes.
00:09:50 His friendship with Eileen wasn't that deep.
00:09:53 Thinking this way, Amy's mood immediately became cheerful again.
00:09:58 "Eileen, your house is pretty nice. Do you mind if we stay here for a few days?"
00:10:04 Originally, she had planned to stay at the hotel with Roxy during the few days they were
00:10:09 discussing business in Sacramento.
00:10:12 However, now that she had seen the mansion, she changed her mind about staying in the
00:10:17 hotel.
00:10:18 "I don't mind. Amy, you can stay as long as you want," Eileen agreed without hesitation.
00:10:26 "Fine, give me the key," Amy stretched out her hand.
00:10:32 Eileen handed the key over.
00:10:34 "There's another key. I want it, too," Amy pointed to the remaining key in Eileen's
00:10:41 hand.
00:10:42 Eileen was a little confused.
00:10:44 "Amy, I only have two keys in total. If I give you both, I won't be able to get in."
00:10:51 "Why do you need to be able to get in? Didn't you say that you would let me live in the
00:10:55 house for a few days?" Amy glanced at Eileen in dissatisfaction.
00:11:01 "Huh?"
00:11:02 Eileen was stupefied.
00:11:04 "No, Amy. You mean I can't enter my house while you're here? I can only let you and
00:11:11 Roxy stay here?"
00:11:12 "Or what?" Amy looked at Eileen as if she was looking at a fool.
00:11:18 "Eileen, it's not like you don't know what kind of people Roxy and I are. We all like
00:11:25 peace, you know? Living with outsiders is a form of torture for us. So these few days
00:11:31 at the hotel would be dreadful. Let Roxy and I stay in this house of yours for now. We'll
00:11:38 give you the key when we return to Rosemont."
00:11:42 After saying that, without caring whether Eileen agreed, Amy directly snatched the key
00:11:47 from Eileen's hand.
00:11:50 This angered Eileen quite a bit, but she did not flare up. Instead, she suppressed her
00:11:56 anger and said,
00:11:58 "Amy, this house has four bedrooms. It's enough for you and Roxy to live in one room.
00:12:05 The other two are for Alan, Claire, and me. Claire has been injured in the past few days.
00:12:11 It's not convenient for her to move."
00:12:12 "Eileen, are you done yet?"
00:12:17 Before Eileen could finish her sentence, she was cut off by Amy's sharp voice. She had
00:12:23 a face full of dissatisfaction.
00:12:25 "I only want to stay in your house for a few days, not move in. So why do you have
00:12:31 to make such a big deal about it? Or are you looking down on Roxy and me? If you're looking
00:12:37 down on us, say so. We'll return to Rosemont right now and treat it as if we don't have
00:12:44 a relative like you from now on."
00:12:47 The moment Amy lost her temper, Eileen's tone softened.
00:12:51 "No, Amy, that's not what I meant. I don't care what you mean. Hurry up and go. Roxy
00:12:59 and I need to rest."
00:13:00 Finally, Amy lost her patience and directly pushed Eileen out of the room.
00:13:07 "Bang."
00:13:09 After slamming the door shut, Amy felt much more peaceful.
00:13:14 Roxy was dumbstruck. She never thought that Amy would do such a thing.
00:13:19 "Mom, let's not do this. This isn't a good idea."
00:13:25 Then after a long time, she finally spoke.
00:13:29 Her tone was very diplomatic, but unfortunately, Amy was not the only one with a bad attitude.
00:13:37 She had gone too far. They came to visit relatives and not to take over their houses.
00:13:44 However, not only did she take away their houses, she even sent them to a hotel. It
00:13:51 was simply unheard of.
00:13:53 "What's wrong with that?" Amy curled her lips as if she didn't think she had gone
00:13:58 too far.
00:13:59 "Such a good house. Only people with status and positions like you and me are fit to live
00:14:05 in it. It's simply a waste for Eileen to be here."
00:14:11 Amy's words made Roxy's heart feel a lot more at ease.
00:14:15 "Roxy, hurry up and call that classmate of yours and have him invite Matthew out. The
00:14:21 most important thing is to cooperate with Lux Travel Corporation."
00:14:27 As long as she could reach an agreement with Lux Travel Corporation this time, once she
00:14:31 returned to Rosemont, she could remove the secondary words from her vice president position.
00:14:37 "Okay, I'll call him right away." Roxy nodded.
00:14:43 Although she didn't want to, she also understood that this was Amy's only chance to make a
00:14:48 comeback.
00:14:50 Very quickly, the call connected.
00:14:53 "Roxy, why did you call me?" The voice on the other end of the phone was filled with
00:14:59 a pleasant surprise.
00:15:01 However, Roxy's reaction was a bit cold. She did not answer the other side of the phone
00:15:07 and instead went straight to the point.
00:15:09 "Greg, are you still working at Lux Travel?"
00:15:13 "Yes, Roxy. I am now the manager of the Human Resources Department." Greg's tone was full
00:15:20 of pride.
00:15:21 "Then, do you know Matthew Bennett?"
00:15:25 "Matthew?" Greg was shocked.
00:15:28 "Roxy, why are you looking for our president?"
00:15:31 "Don't ask. Just tell me if you know him or not." Roxy said impatiently.
00:15:37 "I know him. I know him. Matthew is the head of our company and I, as the HR manager, was
00:15:44 promoted by him." Greg hurriedly said.
00:15:47 Since the establishment of Lux Travel Corporation's chairman, he had never appeared, so everything
00:15:54 regarding business matters was handled by the general manager, Matthew.
00:15:58 In the Lux Travel Corporation, Matthew had absolute authority.
00:16:04 "Since you know him, can you ask him out to have a meal with us?" Roxy stated her purpose
00:16:10 directly.
00:16:11 "It's not that difficult, but he…" Greg wanted to say that Matthew had been very busy
00:16:18 the past few days, but before he could say anything, Roxy interrupted him.
00:16:24 "No buts. It's decided. Tomorrow at 7pm, I want to see you and Matthew at the White
00:16:30 Swan Restaurant."
00:16:37 After speaking, Roxy did not care about Greg's reaction and directly hung up the phone.
00:16:44 "Roxy, if you do this, I'm afraid your classmate won't be happy." Amy's tone didn't sound
00:16:51 like she was pleading at all.
00:16:53 On the contrary, it was practically in order.
00:16:57 If she angered Greg, the matter with Matthew would become a piece of cake.
00:17:01 "Mom, don't worry. That classmate of mine wants me to do this to him." Roxy's lips
00:17:09 curled up into a proud smile.
00:17:12 She knew Greg very well.
00:17:14 He was like a bully kicking a dog.
00:17:17 Although her tone was harsh, even had she scolded Greg, he wouldn't even frown.
00:17:23 On the contrary, he would be more respectful towards her.
00:17:27 It was the same this time.
00:17:29 No matter what, Greg would ask for Matthew's help.
00:17:33 At this moment, Eileen returned to the hospital with a resentful expression.
00:17:38 Amy's move had caught her off guard.
00:17:40 She had always been the one to take things from others, and no one had ever dared to
00:17:45 take anything from her.
00:17:48 However, Amy's appearance had broken this rule.
00:17:52 When she first saw Amy, Eileen was like a mouse meeting a cat.
00:17:57 She was completely suppressed.
00:17:59 Even if she suffered a loss, she could only grit her teeth and swallow it down.
00:18:05 Eileen had accumulated a belly full of anger and was about to enter the hospital to vent
00:18:11 it on to Kevin.
00:18:13 In the hospital, it was unknown when Alan had woken up.
00:18:17 "Alan, you're awake!"
00:18:21 Seeing him made Eileen feel much better.
00:18:24 Alan nodded.
00:18:25 He had just woken up a few minutes ago.
00:18:28 "What about Claire?
00:18:30 How is she?"
00:18:32 The one Alan was most concerned about was Claire.
00:18:36 He could only watch as Debra repeatedly inserted the dagger into Claire's arm.
00:18:41 He couldn't imagine what kind of excruciating pain that had caused Claire.
00:18:45 "Claire woke up early in the morning.
00:18:48 Don't worry.
00:18:49 Her wounds aren't life-threatening.
00:18:52 The wounds on her hands are severe, but the doctor said they would heal with time," Eileen
00:18:57 said.
00:18:58 "Where did that group of people come from?"
00:19:02 Alan asked.
00:19:03 "You'll have to ask that good son-in-law of yours," then Eileen said in a weird tone.
00:19:10 "Didn't you hear that trash came that day?"
00:19:15 As the two of them talked, Kevin helped Claire into the room.
00:19:19 "Daughter, how are you feeling?
00:19:22 Is your hand still hurting?"
00:19:25 Alan stepped forward and asked in concern.
00:19:28 "It doesn't hurt anymore, Dad.
00:19:30 I'm feeling much better."
00:19:32 Claire shook her head, and a trace of a smile appeared on her beautiful face.
00:19:37 "That's good," Alan nodded.
00:19:40 Then he shifted his gaze to Kevin.
00:19:43 "Kevin, those people from that day, were they looking for you?"
00:19:48 "Yes," Kevin did not deny it.
00:19:52 "The same people who chased you three years ago?"
00:19:56 Alan asked.
00:19:57 He remembered the first time he saw Kevin three years ago.
00:20:01 At that time, Kevin was covered in blood and was on the verge of death.
00:20:06 "Probably," Kevin sighed.
00:20:10 He could only confirm that the person chasing him was someone sent by the Bennett family
00:20:14 three years ago, but he was unsure who exactly it was.
00:20:19 Amongst the thirteen rooms in the Bennett family, other than Harvey's, the other twelve
00:20:24 were a possibility.
00:20:25 "What is a possibility?
00:20:29 That means you have more enemies other than that day?"
00:20:33 Eileen's tone suddenly turned sharp.
00:20:36 "Who exactly are they?
00:20:38 Why are they chasing you?"
00:20:40 Alan asked in a deep voice.
00:20:43 If this matter weren't made clear, he wouldn't be able to sleep in peace in the future.
00:20:49 Kevin was having a difficult time.
00:20:51 He didn't want to hide anything from Alan, but he didn't know how to explain it to him.
00:20:57 At this time, Claire tried to smooth things over.
00:21:00 "Dad, everything is already over.
00:21:03 Why are you still asking Kevin?"
00:21:06 "Those people that were chasing Kevin have been taken care of.
00:21:10 From now on, they will not cause any more trouble for us."
00:21:14 "I hope you're right," Alan sighed.
00:21:18 Claire knew something, but since she didn't want to say it, there was nothing he could
00:21:22 do about it.
00:21:24 "Claire, you can't help this trash anymore.
00:21:28 He's just a ticking time bomb.
00:21:30 Who knows when he might explode and shatter our family?
00:21:34 You better find a time to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and get divorced from him.
00:21:40 Otherwise, our family won't be able to live a peaceful life in the future," Eileen said,
00:21:45 unwilling to forgive him.
00:21:47 "All right, Mom, stop talking.
00:21:51 I don't want to hear this right now."
00:21:54 Claire was a bit irritated ever since Princess Ivy had said that her mind was still thinking
00:21:59 about her divorce from Kevin.
00:22:02 There were ten million reasons she didn't want to do it, but the truth was right in
00:22:06 front of her eyes.
00:22:09 Without a divorce, she would become Kevin's weakness sooner or later.
00:22:13 Who knew when the Bennett family would threaten Kevin through her?
00:22:17 However, a divorce meant that her three-year relationship with Kevin would end.
00:22:23 No one could predict what would happen after a divorce.
00:22:26 "Eileen, let's go home.
00:22:29 Let Kevin accompany Claire tonight."
00:22:31 Alan sighed.
00:22:32 "Go home?"
00:22:34 Eileen was shocked, and her expression immediately turned unnatural.
00:22:39 "What's wrong?
00:22:41 Is there a problem at home?"
00:22:44 "No," Eileen smiled in embarrassment.
00:22:47 "There's nothing wrong at home.
00:22:50 It's just that there's someone living there right now."
00:22:54 "Who's staying?"
00:22:56 Alan asked in confusion.
00:22:58 "Amy and Roxy have come to Sacramento today."
00:23:03 Why did the two of them think of coming here?
00:23:06 Alan wasn't too interested in Amy.
00:23:08 Then, a few years ago, when he went to Rosemont to pay his respects to Amy, he was chased
00:23:15 out of the city by her before he could even step foot into her house.
00:23:19 It was evidence in his heart that Amy looked down on them.
00:23:24 "Business.
00:23:25 Amy is now the general manager of London Enterprises.
00:23:30 This time, she has come to discuss business with Lux Travel Corporation."
00:23:34 "Business?
00:23:37 Why would they want to stay in our house for business?
00:23:40 They're so rich.
00:23:41 Can't they just go live in a hotel?"
00:23:45 Alan asked in dissatisfaction.
00:23:47 "Alan, how can you say that?
00:23:50 Amy is my big sis."
00:23:53 She came to my house with great difficulty.
00:23:55 "Of course I have to entertain her.
00:23:58 How can I let my family stay in a hotel?"
00:24:01 Eileen said.
00:24:02 "Treat her?
00:24:03 Aren't you entertaining her at home?"
00:24:06 "What are you doing in the hospital?"
00:24:09 Alan grunted.
00:24:11 "This...
00:24:12 Amy likes peace and quiet.
00:24:15 She doesn't want anyone to disturb her, so I made room for her."
00:24:20 Eileen felt her face grow hot.
00:24:23 Although her words were tactful, it couldn't change the fact that she was driven out of
00:24:28 her own house by Amy.
00:24:31 Alan was angered and laughed.
00:24:34 "Eileen, you're so generous.
00:24:38 You don't live in your own house.
00:24:40 You live with your sister."
00:24:41 "Mom, why is she like this?
00:24:46 They live in our house.
00:24:48 What are you and Dad saying, a hotel?"
00:24:51 Claire was also slightly dissatisfied.
00:24:54 Amy and Roxy had gone too far.
00:24:57 Not only had they turned the tables around, they had also even chased Eileen out.
00:25:02 How was this a relative?
00:25:05 This was simply a thief.
00:25:07 "The hotel is actually pretty good, too.
00:25:10 Your dad and I haven't stayed in one for a long time," Eileen said in embarrassment.
00:25:17 "Good hotel?"
00:25:22 Kevin shook his head.
00:25:24 No matter how good the hotel was, it was not as comfortable as a house.
00:25:29 However, he didn't expect Amy and Roxy, two top-tier talents, to be able to do such a
00:25:35 thing.
00:25:37 But the house belonged to Eileen.
00:25:39 And since she didn't say anything, he wouldn't get involved.
00:25:44 Alan and Eileen went out together to look for a hotel while Kevin stayed at the hospital
00:25:49 to look after Claire.
00:25:51 The night passed in silence.
00:25:53 The following day, Alan and Eileen came to the hospital to replace Kevin.
00:25:59 Kevin was planning to go back and rest, but he suddenly remembered Kari and Naomi, who
00:26:05 he had sent to the hospital yesterday, and he had no idea how they were doing.
00:26:10 Kevin came to Kari's room.
00:26:12 As soon as he entered, Kevin saw Naomi sitting alone in the corner with her cherry lips nibbling
00:26:18 on a rice cake.
00:26:21 Perhaps it was because the rice cake was a little tricky.
00:26:24 Naomi had to drink a mouthful of water to swallow it whenever she took a bite.
00:26:29 Kevin couldn't help but sigh.
00:26:31 When he first saw Naomi yesterday, he thought she had some hidden disease that caused her
00:26:36 to look so yellow and skinny.
00:26:39 However, seeing the scene before his eyes, Kevin finally understood.
00:26:45 Naomi wasn't suffering from any hidden ailment.
00:26:48 Instead, the reason why she was so thin was entirely due to chronic malnutrition of not
00:26:55 eating enough food every day.
00:26:58 Seeing Kevin come in, Naomi quickly got up like a panicked little rabbit.
00:27:03 She put the rice cake that had been nibbled to the side, and at the same time, she was
00:27:08 at a loss as she greeted Kevin.
00:27:10 "Kevin, you're here!"
00:27:13 Kevin smiled and asked.
00:27:15 "Are you having breakfast?"
00:27:18 "Yes."
00:27:20 Naomi nodded in embarrassment and asked, "Kevin, you… have you had breakfast?"
00:27:27 "No, I was just about to go eat."
00:27:31 Kevin shook his head.
00:27:32 He glanced at Naomi and asked, "Do you want to come with me?"
00:27:37 "Huh?"
00:27:38 "I…
00:27:39 I'm not going, Kevin.
00:27:42 I've already eaten breakfast."
00:27:45 Naomi hurriedly shook her head and blushed slightly.
00:27:48 "Can't you eat more than that?"
00:27:51 Kevin smiled.
00:27:53 "I…"
00:27:54 "Alright, stop talking.
00:27:57 Follow me."
00:27:58 Naomi wanted to say something, but Kevin pulled her over without saying anything further.
00:28:04 "Yes."
00:28:05 Naomi nodded.
00:28:06 Then, obediently followed behind Kevin.
00:28:10 After leaving the hospital, Kevin casually found a diner and sat down.
00:28:15 "Boss, give me two tall stacks of pancakes."
00:28:19 "Kevin, you ordered so much!
00:28:22 Can you finish it?"
00:28:24 Naomi asked in a low voice.
00:28:26 "I can't finish it."
00:28:28 "Don't you still have room for more?"
00:28:30 Kevin smiled.
00:28:32 The only reason he brought Naomi out was to help her heal her body.
00:28:37 According to Naomi's original eating habits, within a month, she would be in a critical
00:28:42 state of anemia.
00:28:44 "I…
00:28:45 I can't finish all that, too."
00:28:48 Naomi lowered her head and spoke with a voice that sounded like a mosquito's foot.
00:28:54 "Even if you can't finish it, you still have to eat."
00:28:58 Kevin's face turned serious.
00:29:00 "Fine."
00:29:03 Very soon, the pancakes were brought out.
00:29:06 Kevin poured a plate of maple syrup and pushed it in front of Naomi.
00:29:10 "Eat."
00:29:12 "Yes."
00:29:13 Naomi nodded and picked up a pancake to take a bite.
00:29:17 Kevin smiled, picked up a pancake, dipped it in the sauce, and directly swallowed it.
00:29:23 Soon, Kevin destroyed his plate of pancakes.
00:29:28 On the other hand, Naomi only ate three.
00:29:31 "The rest is yours."
00:29:33 Kevin burped and laughed.
00:29:35 "Huh?"
00:29:36 Naomi's mouth was agape as she hurriedly shook her head.
00:29:40 "Kevin, I…
00:29:41 I can't finish it all."
00:29:43 "If you can't finish it, then throw it away," Kevin said with a smile.
00:29:49 Naturally, he said this to make Naomi eat more.
00:29:53 Otherwise, with her shy character, she wouldn't be able to act freely in front of him.
00:29:59 Since he had brought Naomi out this time, there was no more meaning to it.
00:30:04 "Throwing it away would be too much of a waste."
00:30:07 "Why aren't you eating even though you know it's a waste?"
00:30:11 Kevin glared at the girl.
00:30:13 The young girl hurriedly grabbed a bite and stuffed it into her mouth.
00:30:17 Ten minutes later, Naomi finally finished her breakfast.
00:30:22 Kevin didn't throw the rest of the pancakes away, but put them into a plastic box for
00:30:26 Naomi to carry back.
00:30:29 After all, Kari hadn't eaten either.
00:30:32 In the blink of an eye, night came.
00:30:35 Amy and Roxy had correctly dressed and walked out of the Wright family home in magnificent
00:30:41 attire.
00:30:42 They headed straight for the White Swan restaurant.
00:30:46 When the two arrived, the restaurant's entrance was filled with all kinds of luxury cars.
00:30:52 After all, any ordinary meal here would cost around $100.
00:30:57 If they were to order a few more bottles of wine, even two or three hundred would sometimes
00:31:03 not be enough.
00:31:05 Roxy clearly showed that she was showing Matthew a lot of respect by arranging this place for
00:31:10 their meeting.
00:31:12 At this moment, at the restaurant entrance, beside a white Porsche, a slightly fat young
00:31:17 man in a suit and hair combed with oil was looking around.
00:31:23 When he saw Roxy and Amy, his eyes immediately lit up.
00:31:28 He jogged over to the mother and daughter pair and started to greet them.
00:31:32 "Roxy, Amy, you're here."
00:31:36 Greg's attitude was very cordial.
00:31:39 In contrast, Roxy's attitude was frigid.
00:31:43 She didn't even look at Greg as she walked into the restaurant.
00:31:46 However, Amy responded to Greg with a smile.
00:31:50 "You must be Greg.
00:31:52 This young man, you look pleased.
00:31:56 I have often heard my Roxy mention you."
00:31:59 Hearing Amy's words, Greg became excited.
00:32:03 "Amy, is what you said true?
00:32:07 Roxy often mentions me in front of you?"
00:32:09 "Of course it's true.
00:32:12 Roxy said that you are very handsome and gentle.
00:32:16 You are one of the most outstanding men she has ever met."
00:32:21 Amy lied with her heart and face red.
00:32:25 But in her heart, she looked down on Greg from the very beginning.
00:32:29 It was no wonder that Roxy didn't like Greg.
00:32:33 But even if he gave this stupid thing to Roxy, she wouldn't accept it for free.
00:32:38 "It's fine.
00:32:41 I'm just average, not outstanding.
00:32:45 I'm still a bit lacking when it comes to matching Roxy."
00:32:49 Greg's face revealed a simple and honest smile.
00:32:53 His heart was already dreaming about the beautiful life after his marriage with Roxy, and he
00:32:58 even thought about what their children would be called.
00:33:01 "Alright, Greg.
00:33:03 Let's go in quickly."
00:33:05 Although she was feeling impatient in her heart, Amy didn't show it on her face.
00:33:10 The three arrived at the VIP area on the second floor of the White Swan.
00:33:15 Compared to the common area in the first floor, the environment of the VIP area was much better.
00:33:22 But of course, the price was also much higher.
00:33:26 Greg reserved a seat in the center, which was almost the best in the restaurant.
00:33:31 He could see the scenery around him, but on the opposite side, there was even a professional
00:33:36 violin performance.
00:33:39 After they sat down, Amy couldn't help but ask, "Greg, where's President Matthew?"
00:33:46 "He has something going on.
00:33:49 He'll be here in half an hour."
00:33:50 Greg laughed.
00:33:55 Amy nodded.
00:33:56 "Then let's wait."
00:33:57 "Ma'am, there's no need to wait.
00:34:03 Matthew doesn't like others waiting for him.
00:34:06 Usually, he only comes out when others have ordered good dishes," Greg said.
00:34:12 "Let's go ahead and order first."
00:34:15 Greg smiled as he took out the menu and started ordering.
00:34:19 "Greg, how can you order?
00:34:22 Roxy and I are tweeting, so we will order," Amy said politely to Greg in a hypocritical
00:34:28 manner.
00:34:29 "Alright then, after you."
00:34:33 Greg smiled and handed the menu over to Amy.
00:34:37 Amy's smile froze.
00:34:39 She seemed to have forgotten something.
00:34:43 Greg's mind only had one thought.
00:34:46 He would refuse to allow her to order the dishes if it were anyone else.
00:34:50 But to Greg, there were not that many twisted things.
00:34:55 "Whatever you say."
00:34:56 "Alright, I'll do it, I'll do it."
00:35:00 Amy accepted the menu with a smile.
00:35:03 She wanted nothing more than to slap herself in the face.
00:35:08 Why had she offered to cover the meal like that?
00:35:11 It would cost at least two to three hundred dollars for a meal here at the White Swan.
00:35:17 With her big mouth, she had just cost herself quite a bit of money.
00:35:22 Soon, Amy ordered a few of the signature dishes of the restaurant.
00:35:27 The waiters began passing the dishes one by one.
00:35:31 Amy suddenly felt a slight discomfort in her stomach.
00:35:35 She got up and prepared to pull out her chair to go to the bathroom.
00:35:40 When she turned around, she bumped into a waiter carrying a bowl of hot vegetable soup.
00:35:48 The waiter's hands became unstable, and she poured an entire bowl of soup onto Amy's body.
00:35:55 Amy screamed like a pig being butchered.
00:35:59 It was obvious that she had been badly burned.
00:36:02 "Sorry, sorry."
00:36:04 The smaller waiter hurriedly apologized.
00:36:07 However, Amy didn't listen at all.
00:36:11 With a slap, her palm solidly landed on the white face of the waiter.
00:36:16 "What are you doing?
00:36:18 Are you blind?"
00:36:20 Amy cursed shrilly.
00:36:23 She was wearing a gauzy evening dress with no underwear underneath, equivalent to having
00:36:28 the waiter pour the soup directly on her skin.
00:36:32 Everyone knew what it was like to be scalded.
00:36:35 "Sorry, sorry, ma'am.
00:36:39 I didn't see you."
00:36:41 Naomi lowered her head and repeatedly apologized with a hint of tears in her voice.
00:36:47 She didn't expect to stir up such a mess at her first part-time job.
00:36:52 "Is there any use in apologizing, you careless idiot?"
00:36:58 Amy cursed as she slapped Naomi's face again, knocking her to the ground.
00:37:03 "What is this, a joke?"
00:37:07 At that moment, Roxy frowned and got up.
00:37:11 Her memory was perfect, so she immediately recognized that the person in front of her
00:37:17 was the daughter of a middle-aged woman.
00:37:20 The latter got into a car accident with Amy yesterday.
00:37:23 "It's you?"
00:37:26 Amy recognized Naomi, and an indescribable rage arose within her chest.
00:37:33 Without saying a word, she grabbed a chair from the ground, lifted it high, and slammed
00:37:39 it heavily onto Naomi's body.
00:37:44 Naomi groaned with pain on her face.
00:37:47 However, Amy could not control her anger at all.
00:37:52 She picked up the chair again and smashed it down heavily, cursing as she did so.
00:37:58 "Why is there an idiot like you everywhere?
00:38:03 Yesterday that lowly mother of yours ruined my car.
00:38:07 Today, you burned and ruined my clothes again.
00:38:12 Are you trying to make life difficult for me?"
00:38:16 Amy smashed it three or four times, and only when she could no longer do so did she come
00:38:22 to a stop, panting heavily.
00:38:24 However, the petite Naomi was curled up in pain.
00:38:29 The commotion finally caught the attention of a staff member, a man in a suit who looked
00:38:35 like a manager walked over with giant strides.
00:38:39 "Ma'am, what happened?"
00:38:41 "Are you blind?
00:38:43 Can't you see what happened?"
00:38:46 Amy cursed, looking entirely shrewd.
00:38:49 "Your waiter poured soup on my mother!"
00:38:53 Then, with a cold expression, Roxy accused Naomi of her wrongdoings without any explanation.
00:39:00 "I'm sorry to have an unpleasant experience, but this is our restaurant's responsibility,"
00:39:08 the middle-aged manager bowed apologetically.
00:39:11 However, Amy, Roxy, and the others were not to be trifled with.
00:39:18 Naomi on the other hand was working at the White Swan for the first time.
00:39:23 "Sorry, just a word of apology was enough.
00:39:28 Do you know how much this dress is worth?
00:39:32 Do you know who I'm meeting tonight to talk business with?
00:39:37 You have spoiled so many things for me, yet you want to pass the trial with just a word
00:39:44 of apology?
00:39:45 Let me tell you, that isn't going to be enough this time."
00:39:51 Amy's attitude was aggressive.
00:39:54 With Naomi acting in such a manner, it would be a problem no matter how she saw Matthew
00:40:00 next.
00:40:01 "Lady, you have misunderstood.
00:40:05 We will definitely get her to compensate you according to the price for all the losses
00:40:10 that Naomi has caused you," the middle-aged manager said with a wry smile.
00:40:16 "Compensation?
00:40:18 Could she afford it?
00:40:20 Do you know how much this dress costs?
00:40:23 Two thousand dollars?
00:40:26 It was custom made for my mother by Mina, the great Italian dressmaker.
00:40:32 And if she sold herself as a lowly commoner, she wouldn't be able to afford a button on
00:40:36 my gown."
00:40:38 Amy did not give up.
00:40:41 The meaning of the middle-aged manager's words was evidence.
00:40:46 This was Naomi's fault.
00:40:48 It had nothing to do with the restaurant, which would not pay a single cent.
00:40:53 "Naomi, get up."
00:40:56 The middle-aged manager looked at Naomi sternly, then said mercilessly, "This lady's gown
00:41:03 is worth two thousand dollars.
00:41:06 You should pay her back immediately."
00:41:08 "Sir, this lady bumped into me first, so my soup spilled on her."
00:41:17 Naomi sobbed in the grievance.
00:41:20 When she was carrying the dish, it was completed according to the restaurant's planned route.
00:41:26 However, Amy just stood up and charged toward her without even looking at her.
00:41:31 In the end, Amy was at fault, not her.
00:41:36 "What did you say?"
00:41:40 Amy's expression turned cold.
00:41:42 As she spoke, she kicked Naomi without saying a word.
00:41:46 "You dare to slander me?
00:41:50 What do you mean I hit you?
00:41:52 It was clearly you who wanted to take revenge on me and purposely spilled the soup on me."
00:41:58 "I didn't."
00:42:01 Naomi's face was full of grievance.
00:42:04 The waitressing job at the White Swan restaurant was her first part-time job.
00:42:09 How could she dare to do such a thing?
00:42:12 "No?
00:42:13 Do you think this old lady is a fool?"
00:42:17 Amy growled.
00:42:19 "Yesterday, my driver beat up that lowly mother of yours, so you held a grudge against
00:42:27 me.
00:42:28 Today, when I was eating here, you intentionally brought the soup to me.
00:42:33 When I wasn't paying attention, you spilled it on me.
00:42:37 Do you really think I can't see through your little trick?"
00:42:41 "Wait, I didn't even see you, ma'am."
00:42:46 "Enough."
00:42:47 Kurt, the manager, shouted angrily with a terrifyingly cold expression.
00:42:52 "Naomi, the evidence is already very clear.
00:42:57 It was you who purposely poured the soup on this lady.
00:43:01 You're so young, how can you be so vicious?
00:43:06 Do you know how much damage this will do to her?
00:43:10 Do you know how much this will affect our restaurant's reputation?"
00:43:17 "I didn't.
00:43:20 I really didn't."
00:43:24 Naomi helplessly shook her head, tears welling up on her charming face.
00:43:29 "Everyone has seen it for themselves, so why are you still talking about it?"
00:43:36 Kurt pointed at Naomi's nose and scolded her angrily.
00:43:40 "Now get up and give this lady two thousand dollars as compensation.
00:43:46 Otherwise, I'll call the police right now."
00:43:50 "Two thousand?
00:43:51 How could that be enough?"
00:43:56 Before Kurt could finish his sentence, he was cut off by Amy's sharp voice.
00:44:01 "Not only did this girl ruin my gown, but she also delayed my business meeting.
00:44:07 Who should I go after for the losses in my business?"
00:44:11 "What do you mean, ma'am?"
00:44:15 Kurt frowned and asked.
00:44:16 "Twenty thousand.
00:44:18 In addition to the dress money, she also has to pay me another twenty thousand dollars."
00:44:24 "All right, no problem."
00:44:27 Kurt agreed without a second thought.
00:44:29 After all, it wasn't him who was paying, so he could throw the blame at Naomi.
00:44:36 "Naomi, did you hear that?
00:44:39 The total cost of this lady's dress and business dealings is twenty-five thousand dollars.
00:44:46 It's best if you compensate her with a bit of money."
00:44:50 Kurt looked coldly at Naomi.
00:44:51 "I don't have any money.
00:44:53 I don't have any money."
00:44:55 Naomi shook her head helplessly.
00:45:03 It was because Kari didn't have any money on her that she came out to work part-time.
00:45:09 So now, Kurt wanted her to pay twenty thousand dollars?
00:45:14 Even if she sold herself, she wouldn't be able to come up with that kind of money.
00:45:19 "Call your family over if you don't have any money."
00:45:24 Kurt glanced at Naomi in disgust.
00:45:27 "My mother is in the hospital."
00:45:29 "Where's your dad?"
00:45:30 "I don't have a father."
00:45:36 Naomi choked with sobs.
00:45:39 "Oh, perfect.
00:45:41 No money and no family," Amy scolded.
00:45:46 "Since your family members can't come, then I can only send you to the police station,"
00:45:52 Kurt sneered.
00:45:53 If he got Amy to go to the police station to pursue charges against Naomi, the restaurant
00:45:59 could get out of the issue.
00:46:01 "No, don't call the police."
00:46:05 Hearing the threat of a police call, Naomi's pretty face immediately turned pale.
00:46:11 Kari was alone in the hospital.
00:46:13 If she was locked up in the police station, who would take care of her?
00:46:18 "Don't call the police.
00:46:21 If you aren't willing to pay what you owe, then why wouldn't I call the police?"
00:46:27 Kurt shouted.
00:46:28 "I…"
00:46:29 Naomi was at a loss.
00:46:32 At that moment, her phone rang.
00:46:36 She answered the call, and Kevin's voice came over the phone.
00:46:40 "Naomi, where are you?"
00:46:43 "Oh my gosh, Kevin!"
00:46:46 Upon hearing that it was Kevin, Naomi couldn't stop her tears from streaming down.
00:46:51 "Naomi, what's the matter?"
00:46:55 Kevin's heart sank.
00:46:56 He had come to see Kari, but she said that she couldn't find Naomi, who had been out
00:47:02 since noon and hadn't returned.
00:47:05 Out of concern, he had agreed to call her.
00:47:08 "Kevin, can you help me?
00:47:12 I spilled soup on a customer's dress.
00:47:15 Kurt wants to call the police."
00:47:17 "Where are you?"
00:47:19 "I…
00:47:20 I'm at the White Swan."
00:47:23 "Give me ten minutes.
00:47:24 I'll be right there."
00:47:27 Kevin hung up the phone and went out to find a taxi to the White Swan.
00:47:31 "Kevin!"
00:47:32 Amy laughed coldly.
00:47:34 "Are you having an affair with that trash?
00:47:39 He stood up for you yesterday, and then the moment something happened to you today, he
00:47:45 called.
00:47:46 They really have the same thoughts."
00:47:49 "Kevin and I just met yesterday.
00:47:54 Don't tell lies about us."
00:47:56 Naomi mustered the courage to reply.
00:47:58 However, Amy's eyes turned cold as she slapped Naomi.
00:48:04 "Lies?"
00:48:05 Amy made a scary face.
00:48:07 "How dare you talk back to me?"
00:48:11 "You are so worthless, I can tell lies about you if I want to."
00:48:18 Amy's face was filled with denial.
00:48:20 Live in son-in-law?
00:48:24 Naomi was slightly stunned.
00:48:26 Was Kevin already married?
00:48:28 Looking at Naomi's stupefied expression, Amy couldn't help but be annoyed.
00:48:33 "Looks like that trash hasn't told you his true identity."
00:48:37 "True, if it was me, I wouldn't say that I'm live in son-in-law either.
00:48:45 Even if he is ten thousand times better than you."
00:48:49 When she heard Amy belittling Kevin, Naomi got angry.
00:48:53 "Ha ha ha ha!
00:48:55 Ten thousand times better?
00:48:56 You really dare to say that?
00:48:59 That piece of trash, he wants money and power, but doesn't have any of it.
00:49:05 His status in the family is even inferior to a dog.
00:49:10 Why is he ten thousand times better than me?
00:49:14 He owes me thousands of dollars, but he still can't pay me back even now.
00:49:19 You still dare to say that he's ten thousand times better than me?
00:49:25 You are truly a fool."
00:49:28 Amy burst into laughter.
00:49:30 Her tone was full of contempt for Kevin.
00:49:33 Of course, it would be fine if Kevin didn't come today.
00:49:37 But if Kevin dared to come, she would return the humiliation he inflicted on her yesterday
00:49:42 a hundredfold.
00:49:44 As she said that, Kevin rushed to the second floor.
00:49:49 He immediately saw Naomi, curled up in the corner, and Amy, her daughter, who was acting
00:49:54 high and mighty.
00:49:57 Kevin's expression instantly turned cold when he saw the red handprint on Naomi's face.
00:50:03 Kevin walked to the front of the crowd and intended to help Naomi.
00:50:08 At this moment, a figure appeared in front of him.
00:50:11 It was Kurt.
00:50:12 "Who are you, Naomi?"
00:50:16 Kurt scrutinized Kevin.
00:50:18 It was not hard to tell from Amy's words that the young man in front of him was the man
00:50:23 she referred to.
00:50:26 So naturally, he would not have a good impression of Kevin.
00:50:30 "I'm Naomi's big brother," Kevin frowned.
00:50:34 "Big brother?
00:50:37 Since you're Naomi's brother, then this matter will be easy to handle.
00:50:42 Your sister Naomi purposefully spilled hot soup on this lady, ruining her gown that was
00:50:48 worth two thousand dollars.
00:50:51 She even delayed this lady from discussing important business dealings, causing her to
00:50:56 lose thousands more indirectly.
00:50:59 So you have to compensate this lady in the end."
00:51:04 Out of my way.
00:51:06 Before Kurt could finish his words, he was coldly interrupted by Kevin.
00:51:12 His tone turned sluggish, and he became angry.
00:51:16 "Do you know where we are?
00:51:19 Just let me get out of the way.
00:51:22 Let me tell you, you better not think about repudiating your debt.
00:51:27 Your sister Naomi has caused a lot of damage to this lady.
00:51:32 You must pay what she owes, without missing a single cent."
00:51:37 Kurt glared fiercely at Kevin.
00:51:40 He must pull the restaurant out of this matter.
00:51:43 It was evident that Amy knew Kevin.
00:51:46 Though their relationship didn't seem very good, the enemy could become a friend in certain
00:51:52 circumstances.
00:51:53 He was afraid that Kevin and Amy would not come to an agreement, and the blame would
00:51:58 be back on the White Swan.
00:52:01 But this time, Kevin lost his patience.
00:52:04 Before Kurt could finish his words, Kevin grabbed him by the neck and threw him out
00:52:09 of his way.
00:52:11 Bang!
00:52:14 Kurt fell on the table not far away.
00:52:18 After a series of cracking sounds, Kurt's body was covered in vegetable soup and was
00:52:24 in a sorry state.
00:52:26 "Security!"
00:52:28 Kurt roared in anger.
00:52:30 Kevin ignored him.
00:52:32 He walked up to Naomi and helped her up.
00:52:35 "Are you okay?"
00:52:36 "I'm fine," Naomi shook her head.
00:52:40 "The wounds on your body, who did this?"
00:52:44 Kevin's face darkened.
00:52:47 Although Naomi said she was fine, Kevin could tell that there were several bruises on her
00:52:52 body as soon as he came into contact with her.
00:52:56 These wounds were caused by someone hitting her with a heavy object.
00:53:01 When he looked at the bench beside him, Kevin immediately understood.
00:53:05 "I did it!"
00:53:08 At this moment, Amy admitted to it arrogantly.
00:53:12 "What?
00:53:14 You want to stand up for her?"
00:53:16 She looked at Kevin with a mocking smile.
00:53:19 Kevin stood up and said expressionlessly, "Apologize to her."
00:53:25 "Apologize?"
00:53:27 Amy sneered and pointed at Naomi's nose.
00:53:30 "You want me to apologize to this girl?
00:53:36 On what basis?"
00:53:38 A cold light flashed in Kevin's eyes, and just as he was about to attack, Naomi pulled
00:53:44 his hand.
00:53:45 "Kevin, it's got nothing to do with her.
00:53:49 My injuries were caused by my own fall."
00:53:53 She did not want to cause any more trouble for Kevin.
00:53:57 Yesterday, he had saved her and her mother, and she had no way to repay him.
00:54:04 Furthermore, she felt horrible having Kevin defend her in front of a significant person
00:54:10 like Amy.
00:54:11 "This girl sure thinks a lot of you."
00:54:15 Amy crossed her arms and sneered at Kevin.
00:54:19 "Amy."
00:54:21 Kevin's gaze turned cold as he said coldly, "Since you are my elder, I will give you one
00:54:27 last chance.
00:54:29 Apologize to Naomi.
00:54:31 Otherwise, don't blame me for what happens next."
00:54:35 Kevin said coldly.
00:54:38 He had already given Amy more respect than she deserved, and Amy had offended him over
00:54:43 and over again.
00:54:46 He couldn't stand it any longer.
00:54:49 "You're being impolite," Amy laughed villainously.
00:54:53 "You, a good-for-nothing, dare to be impolite to me?
00:55:00 Aren't you afraid of what will happen to you for talking to me that way?"
00:55:05 The crisp sound of a slap rang through the air.
00:55:09 Amy's smile froze on her face, turning into a blood-red handprint.
00:55:15 "Kevin, what are you doing?"
00:55:19 Roxy was furious.
00:55:21 She did not expect Kevin to slap Amy.
00:55:25 Furthermore, he had moved so quickly that Amy did not even have time to react.
00:55:30 "I'll kill you!"
00:55:35 Amy screamed and ultimately lost her reason.
00:55:38 She pounced on Kevin with bared fangs and brandished claws.
00:55:44 Kevin didn't stand at the ceremony with Amy.
00:55:47 Instead, he slapped her again, causing her to spin around on the spot.
00:55:53 "Kevin!"
00:55:55 Roxy was so angry that her entire body was trembling.
00:55:59 "Do you even have a shred of respect?
00:56:03 You even beat your elders!"
00:56:05 Kevin glanced at Roxy coldly.
00:56:07 "This woman is completely unworthy of being my elder."
00:56:11 "You!"
00:56:14 Roxy growled.
00:56:16 At this moment, a few uniformed security guards ran over.
00:56:20 "Kill him for me!"
00:56:23 Kurt pointed at Kevin and roared angrily.
00:56:27 He gritted his teeth as if he wanted to tear Kevin in two.
00:56:32 Several security guards holding electric batons walked in front of Kevin and surrounded him
00:56:37 with cold expressions.
00:56:41 The corners of Roxy's mouth curled into a sneer.
00:56:44 "But Trash, I didn't expect retribution to come so quickly!"
00:56:50 "Bang!"
00:56:52 Before she could even finish her thought, the security guard who made the first move
00:56:57 was sent flying and crashed into a fence on the second floor.
00:57:02 The sneer on Roxy's face instantly froze.
00:57:06 The fall of the security guard seemed to have triggered a domino effect, causing the remaining
00:57:11 security guards to fall to the ground without any resistance.
00:57:16 Five security guards who had rushed over aggressively fell to the ground in less than ten seconds.
00:57:22 The entire area instantly fell silent.
00:57:26 It was so quiet you could hear the sound of a pin drop.
00:57:31 Kurt's face was filled with disbelief.
00:57:34 It was as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
00:57:38 Roxy and Amy also had their mouths wide open in disbelief at the scene unfolding in front
00:57:43 of them.
00:57:45 How could this piece of trash be so assertive?
00:57:50 Kevin walked over to Amy coldly.
00:57:53 Amy's legs instantly became weak.
00:57:56 "Useless...
00:57:57 Trash!
00:57:58 Let me tell you, hitting people is against the law!"
00:58:04 Don't think too much of it.
00:58:06 Amy's mouth quivered as she threatened Kevin.
00:58:10 "You're not allowed to hit Amy."
00:58:13 At this time, Greg also stood out and protected Amy behind him.
00:58:18 However, his legs were shaking even more fiercely than Amy's.
00:58:23 Kevin frowned.
00:58:25 Just as he was about to push Greg away, he saw his eyes light up.
00:58:30 "Matthew is here."
00:58:33 Kevin stopped and turned around to look.
00:58:37 Immediately he saw Matthew approaching in significant strides.
00:58:41 Matthew's gaze immediately fell on Kevin.
00:58:45 Suddenly, his body froze and his mind went blank.
00:58:50 "Kevin?
00:58:51 Why is he here?"
00:58:55 Greg waved his hand without giving Matthew much time to think and thundered.
00:59:00 "President, we are here."
00:59:05 Seeing Matthew, a hint of joy immediately appeared on Roxy's pretty face.
00:59:10 Amy quickly tidied up her appearance and stepped forward, ready to greet him in her most beautiful
00:59:17 state.
00:59:18 However, when Matthew walked in front of the two of them, he walked right past them and
00:59:23 straight to Kevin.
00:59:25 "Old friend, long time no see."
00:59:29 Kevin smiled and reached out his hand.
00:59:33 Matthew was stunned for a moment and then instantly reacted.
00:59:38 Greg's warning rang in his ears about Kevin and the Wright family, that he was his classmate's
00:59:43 problem.
00:59:44 "Long time no see, long time no see."
00:59:51 Matthew naturally reached out his hand and shook Kevin's.
00:59:55 The smiles on the women's faces disappeared.
00:59:59 This trash knew Matthew?
01:00:02 "Kevin, what's going on?"
01:00:06 Matthew glanced around and asked with a smile.
01:00:10 His first time calling himself the top boss, he was still a little nervous.
01:00:16 However, he thought about the fact that he was with Kevin.
01:00:20 However, when he thought about the fact that he was with Kevin, he felt relieved, as Kevin
01:00:26 wouldn't hold it against him.
01:00:28 "Sir, this classmate of yours is unreasonable.
01:00:32 He framed me."
01:00:35 Before Kevin could say anything, Amy started complaining.
01:00:39 She had to make the first move, because the relationship between Matthew and Kevin was
01:00:45 long standing.
01:00:47 If she let Kevin speak first, all the advantages would go to Kevin.
01:00:53 Matthew's face darkened.
01:00:54 He looked coldly at Amy.
01:00:56 "Did I ask you?"
01:00:58 "Sir, I..."
01:01:01 "Shut up."
01:01:03 Amy wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Matthew.
01:01:08 Amy's face instantly turned green.
01:01:11 But of course, she didn't expect Matthew not to give her the time of day.
01:01:16 "Little girl, you speak."
01:01:20 Matthew once again had a gentle smile on his face.
01:01:23 Kevin was standing up for Naomi.
01:01:26 Therefore, he only needed to ask her about everything.
01:01:33 Naomi weakly looked at Kevin, and only after Kevin nodded towards her did she dare to open
01:01:39 her mouth.
01:01:40 "I...
01:01:41 As I was carrying the dishes, this woman suddenly stood up and bumped into me, knocking over
01:01:51 my..."
01:01:52 "You're lying!"
01:01:54 Amy was flustered and exasperated as she interrupted.
01:01:57 "It was you, you idiot.
01:02:01 You wanted to take revenge on me.
01:02:04 My driver beat up your mother yesterday, so you purposely spilled the soup on me."
01:02:10 "I didn't."
01:02:13 Naomi was so anxious that she was on the verge of tears.
01:02:17 "Lies.
01:02:20 There are so many people here who are watching, and they can all testify."
01:02:26 Amy pointed at the surrounding customers.
01:02:29 No matter what, she couldn't let Naomi win.
01:02:33 Otherwise, she would leave an impression on Matthew that something was wrong with her
01:02:37 character.
01:02:39 If Matthew's image of her is terrible, then London Enterprises would never work together
01:02:45 with Lux Travel Corporation.
01:02:49 Matthew shifted his gaze to the customers, but they all shook heads.
01:02:53 "I don't know.
01:02:55 I didn't see anything."
01:02:57 "I don't know anything either."
01:03:01 They did not want to get involved.
01:03:04 After all, neither Amy nor Kevin seemed like they were going to be easy to deal with.
01:03:10 The situation was in a deadlock.
01:03:13 At this time, Kevin said coldly, "Watch the surveillance."
01:03:19 Matthew slapped his forehead and instantly realized what was going on.
01:03:24 "That's right.
01:03:25 Look at the monitor.
01:03:27 Why couldn't he think of such a simple solution?
01:03:30 It must be because he was too nervous to see the boss today."
01:03:35 Matthew comforted himself.
01:03:36 "Where's your manager?
01:03:37 Get him to call up the security cameras."
01:03:43 Matthew glanced at the waiter beside him.
01:03:45 "Our manager?
01:03:47 He...
01:03:48 I'm here."
01:03:51 A voice filled with hatred sounded out in the hall.
01:03:55 Kurt walked over with inattitude.
01:03:58 Behind him were more than ten tattooed men with ferocious expressions.
01:04:04 These ten men wore short-sleeved t-shirts, exposing their strong iron arms, giving off
01:04:10 a definite sense of power.
01:04:13 When they appeared, many customers in the hall were so frightened that their legs turned
01:04:18 to jelly.
01:04:19 There were even a few customers who put down the dishes on the table and slipped out.
01:04:24 "Cripple him!"
01:04:26 Kurt waved his hand and pointed at Kevin.
01:04:30 A dozen men moved after hearing the sound, and their expressions instantly became malevolent.
01:04:37 "Wait!"
01:04:39 At this moment, Matthew gave a cold shout and walked in front of Kurt.
01:04:44 He lowered his voice.
01:04:45 "Are you the manager here?"
01:04:48 "What can I do for you?"
01:04:51 Kurt asked, raising his eyebrows.
01:04:53 "He's my classmate.
01:04:55 You can't touch him."
01:04:57 "We can't touch him?"
01:04:59 Kurt sneered.
01:05:00 "Just because you say so?
01:05:03 On what basis?"
01:05:05 "Just because I'm Matthew Bennett," Matthew said coldly.
01:05:10 "Matthew Bennett?"
01:05:13 Kurt was shocked and could not believe it.
01:05:15 "You are Lux Travel Corporation's Matthew Bennett?"
01:05:19 "Why, is there a problem?"
01:05:23 "No.
01:05:24 No problem."
01:05:27 Kurt's forehead was instantly covered in a cold sweat.
01:05:31 If the person in front of him was Matthew Bennett, he might have had to stop his attack.
01:05:38 After all, Matthew was one of the most famous people in the entire city of Sacramento.
01:05:45 As the Beverly Hills Resort was about to open, Matthew's position as the spokesperson for
01:05:51 the Bennett family was also gradually rising.
01:05:55 It was not something a small restaurant manager like him could compare to.
01:06:00 "Polipia surveillance camera footage.
01:06:03 Ah, I want to know what happened."
01:06:06 Matthew's tone was unquestionably overbearing.
01:06:09 "Surveillance?"
01:06:11 Kurt was surprised and then said with difficulty, "About that, sir.
01:06:18 The monitor for our restaurant was broken a few days ago."
01:06:21 "Is it broken?"
01:06:25 Matthew's gaze became sharp.
01:06:27 Did he think that he was a fool?
01:06:30 "Right, it's broken.
01:06:34 The monitoring line was flooded a few days ago and hasn't been repaired yet."
01:06:40 Kurt braced himself and said, "At this time, he must withstand Matthew's pressure and cannot
01:06:48 let him see the surveillance."
01:06:51 As soon as Matthew looked at the management, he would know that the truth was that he was
01:06:55 the one who helped Amy.
01:06:58 If word of this got out, it would significantly affect the reputation of the White Swan.
01:07:05 As a manager, it would be hard for him to escape the blame.
01:07:09 It's very convenient that it just happens to be broken.
01:07:13 "Do you take me for a fool?"
01:07:15 Matthew's face turned dark.
01:07:17 "Sir."
01:07:19 Kurt's lips curled up into a smile.
01:07:22 He wanted to explain more, but Matthew interrupted him with a wave of his hand.
01:07:28 "I'll give you one last chance.
01:07:31 Take me to the monitor now.
01:07:33 Otherwise, you will suffer the consequences."
01:07:37 Matthew's words contained a hint of threat, but Kurt put on a fearless attitude.
01:07:42 "Sir, it's not that I don't want to give you what you asked for, but this request of yours
01:07:49 is too difficult.
01:07:51 Like I said, the surveillance cameras were broken a few days ago.
01:07:56 Furthermore, the surveillance videos are always managed by our director.
01:08:02 Other than him, no one else has the right to watch them.
01:08:07 Dean, call out your director."
01:08:09 Matthew was furious.
01:08:11 Kurt slightly smiled.
01:08:13 "I'm sorry, sir, but our director has gone away on business for the next few days and
01:08:19 is not currently in Sacramento.
01:08:22 If you want to watch the surveillance, I'm afraid that you will have to wait until our
01:08:27 director's returned to town."
01:08:29 "Are you determined to go up against me?"
01:08:34 Matthew's expression became completely cold.
01:08:37 No matter what, he was the general manager of Lux Travel Corporation, and Sacramento
01:08:44 was a hotbed for successful people.
01:08:47 In the end, a mere manager of a small restaurant wouldn't disrespect him.
01:08:53 "I don't dare.
01:08:55 I don't dare.
01:08:57 I would have the courage to go up against you for no amount of money."
01:09:02 Kurt hurriedly smiled apologetically.
01:09:06 Although his attitude was apologetic, anyone could see the disdain he hid deep within his
01:09:11 heart.
01:09:12 In reality, Kurt did not have any respect for Matthew at all.
01:09:18 On the contrary, especially after he understood the sequence of events of the matter, he became
01:09:24 even more determined to fight against Matthew.
01:09:27 However, the boss behind the White Swan was not weak either.
01:09:33 He had once heard from the professional manager in charge that the White Swan belonged to
01:09:38 a particular super-wealthy family's heir.
01:09:42 So even the city's richest man, Martin Henderson, would have to show him respect in all of Sacramento.
01:09:50 What's more, it was just Matthew?
01:09:54 Therefore, the current situation offending Matthew was not a big deal.
01:10:00 However, there would be challenges if the White Swan's reputation was ruined and the
01:10:06 restaurant owner got wind of the details.
01:10:09 It was a matter of life and death.
01:10:12 Kurt's fearless attitude had angered Matthew quite a bit.
01:10:15 However, he couldn't do anything about it right now.
01:10:20 Matthew couldn't help but turn his gaze towards Kevin, wanting to see how he would react.
01:10:26 However, at this time, Kevin suddenly asked, "Whose property is this White Swan?"
01:10:34 Matthew was stunned, but he had to admit that he had no idea who owned the restaurant.
01:10:43 Kevin shifted his gaze to Kurt, only to see a mocking look.
01:10:48 "Mister, White Swan belongs to someone you don't have the qualifications to know.
01:10:56 You just need to remember that the person who owns this restaurant is someone that you
01:11:01 can never offend."
01:11:03 "No?"
01:11:05 The corner of Kevin's mouth raised.
01:11:08 Couldn't he afford to offend him?
01:11:11 Who could this person be that Kurt spoke of in a town like Sacramento?
01:11:16 "He can't afford to offend my classmate?
01:11:20 Then do you think I, Matthew, have the right to offend him?"
01:11:25 Matthew said in a low voice.
01:11:27 He also wanted to know who the person behind the White Swan was to give Kurt the confidence
01:11:32 to say such words.
01:11:34 "Sir," Kurt smiled meaningfully, then shook his head.
01:11:39 "Forgive me for being blunt, but no, you can't afford to offend this person either."
01:11:46 "What?"
01:11:49 The entire audience went silent.
01:11:52 Then all the customers in the restaurant looked at Kurt with wide-open eyes and disbelief
01:11:58 written all over their faces.
01:12:01 What nonsense was Kurt spouting?
01:12:04 The person behind the White Swan was someone even Matthew couldn't afford to offend?
01:12:10 What kind of ridiculous joke was this?
01:12:13 Matthew is the spokesperson for the Bennett family, so who is this person that the Bennett
01:12:19 family could not afford to offend?
01:12:22 The shocked gazes of everyone caused Kurt to lose himself in pride.
01:12:28 Although he was just a servant to the man behind the White Swan, he was still a trusted
01:12:33 employee of a compelling person.
01:12:37 Since he was so strong, he wouldn't be at a disadvantage even if he was up against the
01:12:42 general manager of Lux Travel Corporation, Matthew.
01:12:46 "I'd like to see what kind of monster you people really are," Matthew said coldly.
01:12:53 He was infuriated by Kurt's words.
01:12:55 When Matthew took out his cell phone and was about to investigate White Swan's background,
01:13:01 Kevin smiled and stepped forward to stop him.
01:13:04 "Old friend, there's no need to check.
01:13:08 I know who's behind the White Swan."
01:13:12 If Kevin was uncertain initially, as Kurt kept talking, he became utterly sure.
01:13:19 "Friend, you know about it?"
01:13:23 In a moment of desperation, Matthew almost shouted Kevin's name.
01:13:28 "Got it."
01:13:30 Kevin nodded and revealed a playful smile.
01:13:33 "You should know the person behind the White Swan as well."
01:13:36 "Me too."
01:13:39 Matthew was even more confused.
01:13:42 Kevin didn't say anything.
01:13:44 Instead, he looked at Matthew meaningfully.
01:13:48 Matthew quivered and a strange expression appeared on his face.
01:13:53 "Are you saying that your White Swan's current boss is James Copeland?"
01:13:58 Kevin shifted his gaze towards Kurt.
01:14:01 "Yes."
01:14:02 But then he looked at Kevin in ridicule and said, "Although our current boss is James,
01:14:09 he is only a representative for someone else.
01:14:12 The real boss of the White Swan is someone else.
01:14:17 However, you will never be worthy enough to know that person's identity."
01:14:24 There was a profound arrogance in Kurt's tone.
01:14:27 Those who didn't know better would think he was really in control of the White Swan.
01:14:32 "Is that so?"
01:14:34 Kevin smiled playfully.
01:14:36 "What would you do if I told you that I know his identity?"
01:14:41 "You?"
01:14:42 Kurt glanced at Kevin like a bully.
01:14:45 "How could someone like you say such words?"
01:14:50 The identity of the boss behind the White Swan was top secret.
01:14:55 In the entire city of Sacramento, the number of people who knew the true identity was less
01:15:00 than five.
01:15:02 Kurt knew about it because the professional manager of the White Swan, Mark Copeland,
01:15:07 was his cousin.
01:15:09 The others, even at Martin Henderson's level, were not qualified to know the true identity
01:15:15 of this boss.
01:15:16 "What about Kevin?"
01:15:18 "If you know the owner's true identity, then I, Kurt, will kneel and lick your shoes."
01:15:27 The corner of Kurt's mouth curled into a smile.
01:15:31 He didn't believe that Kevin, standing in front of him, would have access to information
01:15:36 on that level.
01:15:38 "Alright, remember what you said now."
01:15:43 Kevin smiled faintly and looked as if he had victory in his grasp.
01:15:48 Amy could not help but mock him.
01:15:50 "I say, why are you pretending to be a good-for-nothing?
01:15:56 A mere live-in son-in-law actually thinks of himself as a big shot.
01:16:01 You can't even get close to the boss behind the scenes, can you?"
01:16:07 "Mom, it's not like you don't know that this piece of trash likes to act tough.
01:16:12 He probably heard some news somewhere and wants to show off in front of us.
01:16:17 We'll just watch him make a fool of himself."
01:16:21 Roxy mocked him mercilessly as well.
01:16:24 However, Kevin did not pay attention to the two of them.
01:16:28 Instead, he only looked at Kurt and then said indifferently, "San Francisco."
01:16:34 Boom.
01:16:38 Though it was only two words, Kurt's mind exploded as if he had been struck by lightning.
01:16:45 Even his breathing started to become disordered, but he still forcefully suppressed his confused
01:16:50 mind.
01:16:51 "W-w-what?
01:16:52 W-what about San Francisco?
01:16:55 What are you talking about?"
01:16:59 "I say, the boss behind the White Swan has come from San Francisco."
01:17:06 Kevin looked at Kurt with a smile again.
01:17:08 "Is that clear enough?"
01:17:10 "It must have been a fluke."
01:17:14 Kurt roared in his heart.
01:17:16 He didn't believe Kevin would know about the boss behind the White Swan, because this information
01:17:21 was classified as top secret.
01:17:24 Except for a few people, no one had the right to know.
01:17:28 "Yes, he's from San Francisco, but so what?
01:17:35 There are so many big bosses from San Francisco.
01:17:40 If you want to make me submit with just the two words of San Francisco, I'm afraid it's
01:17:46 not enough."
01:17:47 Kurt's expression turned cold again.
01:17:50 Kevin, revealing the boss's whereabouts, shocked him, but he didn't believe that Kevin would
01:17:56 know any more.
01:17:58 "Not enough?"
01:18:00 Kevin raised his eyebrows.
01:18:01 "Not enough."
01:18:04 Kurt shook his head.
01:18:05 "The Bennett family."
01:18:08 Kevin spat out two words again.
01:18:11 Then he looked at Kurt expressionlessly.
01:18:14 "Are these two words enough?"
01:18:17 Kurt's face suddenly turned pale, as if a heavy hammer had hit him in the chest.
01:18:23 He couldn't help but take three steps back.
01:18:26 He knew!
01:18:28 Kurt screamed in disbelief inside his heart.
01:18:32 His entire body felt like it fell into an ice house, from the top of his head to the
01:18:36 bottom of his feet.
01:18:39 The two words, "Bennett family," broke Kurt's last line of defense, and caused many of the
01:18:47 customers in the hall to fall into a state of inexplicable shock.
01:18:51 "The Bennett family!"
01:18:55 The boss behind the White Swan was the Bennett family.
01:19:00 This was something that no one expected.
01:19:02 The boss behind the petite White Swan was the super-rich Bennett family, who stood at
01:19:09 the peak of the United States.
01:19:12 It was simply a fantasy story.
01:19:15 It was no wonder that Kurt was so arrogant.
01:19:18 Even Matthew could not afford to provoke him, since he answered directly to the Bennett
01:19:22 family.
01:19:24 Other than Matthew, no one else on the scene could afford to offend him.
01:19:29 Or perhaps, no one in the entire city of Sacramento could afford to offend him.
01:19:40 At that moment, even the expressions of Amy and her daughter changed.
01:19:46 Even though they had come from Rosemont, they still knew the prestige of the Bennett family.
01:19:52 One of the six great families of the United States.
01:19:55 They had influence all over the world.
01:19:59 Compared to the Bennett family, they were nothing.
01:20:03 They would never have thought that the boss behind this little White Swan would be related
01:20:08 to the Bennett family.
01:20:10 "Kurt, do you have anything else to say?"
01:20:14 Kevin glanced at Kurt with an expressionless face.
01:20:19 If Kurt were tactful, he would obediently switch over to the monitoring system at this
01:20:23 moment.
01:20:24 If he was not tactful...
01:20:28 Before finishing his thought, Kurt took a deep breath and said coldly, "What did you
01:20:34 say?"
01:20:35 "Did you hear me?"
01:20:37 "The boss behind the scenes like us, the White Swan, came from San Francisco.
01:20:44 It's not a bad guess, but you said the Bennett family."
01:20:49 Kurt paused for a moment and then sneered.
01:20:52 "This is utter nonsense.
01:20:55 Our boss has absolutely nothing to do with the Bennett family.
01:20:59 He comes from the Baldwin family."
01:21:03 Kurt casually made up a family.
01:21:05 "The Baldwin family?"
01:21:09 Kevin's face turned cold.
01:21:11 Kurt was lying.
01:21:13 "You want to go back on your word?"
01:21:17 If Kevin remembered correctly, he had considered all the businesses owned by the Bennett family
01:21:22 when he met with them the first time.
01:21:26 At that time, Bob Pierce had also given him a list of business names.
01:21:31 On the list, it was written that the White Swan was an estate owned by the Bennett family.
01:21:37 However, Kevin didn't take these industries seriously at the time.
01:21:42 He just glanced at them and returned the list to Bob.
01:21:46 Later, he hired a few professional managers to help Kevin manage these businesses.
01:21:53 As time passed, Kevin had almost forgotten that he still owned this business.
01:21:58 If it weren't for Kurt's arrogant reminder today, Kevin would not have been able to recall
01:22:03 this matter.
01:22:04 "Yes, the Baldwin family.
01:22:07 They are the true boss behind the White Swan.
01:22:11 It's not the Bennett family."
01:22:14 Kurt sneered again and again.
01:22:17 The White Swan was indeed a business owned by the Bennett family.
01:22:22 But in the entire city of Sacramento, how many people knew about this?
01:22:28 Even if he lied in front of Kevin, what could he do to him?
01:22:32 As long as Kevin could not prove it, then he would always be in an invincible position.
01:22:39 Kurt's words caused the hall to be filled with discussions once again.
01:22:44 Many of the customers present heaved a sigh of relief, thinking it was good as long as
01:22:50 it wasn't the Bennett family.
01:22:52 Of course, many customers were skeptical of Kurt's words because after Kevin said the
01:22:58 two words "the Bennett family", Kurt's expression became extremely shocking.
01:23:05 Why would Kurt have that kind of expression if Kevin wasn't right?
01:23:10 "Sir, since you are Matthew's classmate, I don't need you to compensate us for all the
01:23:17 losses you have caused today.
01:23:20 Take your sister and leave."
01:23:23 Kurt looked at Kevin enviously.
01:23:25 With Matthew here, he had no way to deal with Kevin.
01:23:29 However, as long as Kevin left the building, he would be able to go after him later.
01:23:35 However, Amy refused to comply when she heard this.
01:23:40 Instead, she screamed out in anger and objected.
01:23:43 "No!
01:23:44 You can't let him go!
01:23:46 If he leaves, who will compensate me for my dress?"
01:23:52 "This lady," Kurt frowned.
01:23:56 Even just as he was about to tell Amy and Kevin to deal with it privately, Matthew spoke
01:24:02 with a cold face.
01:24:03 "I'll compensate you."
01:24:05 "Ma'am, how much is this dress of yours?"
01:24:08 "I'll compensate you double the amount."
01:24:11 Amy's face stiffened as she smiled coyly.
01:24:14 "Matthew, how can you do that?
01:24:18 This trash's little sister destroyed the dress has nothing to do with you."
01:24:25 Matthew interrupted coldly.
01:24:27 "Kevin's sister is my sister.
01:24:30 Her business is my business.
01:24:33 Tell me, ma'am, how much is it?
01:24:36 I'll transfer the funds to you now."
01:24:39 "No need.
01:24:40 No need, Matthew.
01:24:43 Really, no need.
01:24:45 This dress of mine is not worth much.
01:24:48 If it's dirty, then it's dirty.
01:24:51 I'll go back and buy another one."
01:24:55 Amy hurriedly shook her head with an obsequious smile on her face.
01:25:00 Asking Matthew to compensate her with money would destroy any chance of cooperation between
01:25:05 their two companies.
01:25:07 "Okay, fine."
01:25:10 Matthew glanced at Amy coldly.
01:25:12 Naturally, he was clear about Amy's thoughts.
01:25:16 She had blocked the door of cooperation between their companies from the beginning.
01:25:21 "It's not good to offend someone, but you definitely can't offend the boss of a firm
01:25:27 you wish to cooperate with.
01:25:30 Do you want me to work with you after offending the top boss of Lux Travel Corporation?"
01:25:36 "Finance, hey this woman," Kurt said indifferently.
01:25:41 The intention to chase them away was very obvious.
01:25:46 Naomi looked at Kevin carefully and said weakly.
01:25:49 "Kevin, let's go."
01:25:53 "Leave?"
01:25:55 Kevin smiled.
01:25:56 "Why do you want to leave?"
01:25:58 "Wouldn't it be letting them off too easily if we left now?"
01:26:03 Naomi was slightly taken aback.
01:26:06 Whose face did Kevin want to slap?
01:26:08 "Aren't you happy that things have progressed to this stage?"
01:26:13 Amy did not argue with her, and Kurt did not stay with Kevin.
01:26:18 So this was already the best result.
01:26:21 "Sir, what do you mean?"
01:26:24 Kurt's face turned cold.
01:26:26 Out of respect for Matthew, he had already decided not to bother Kevin.
01:26:31 However, from Kevin's point of view, he did not intend to let him off.
01:26:37 "How reckless."
01:26:38 "Nothing," Kevin shook his head.
01:26:43 He glanced at Kurt and said, "I'll give you one last chance.
01:26:48 Tell me honestly, who is the boss behind this White Swan?"
01:26:53 Kurt's expression changed slightly.
01:26:56 Before he could say anything, Kevin shifted his gaze to Amy and said coldly, "And you,
01:27:02 Amy, can't you hear me when I tell you to apologize to Naomi?"
01:27:08 "Honestly?
01:27:09 Apologize?"
01:27:10 Everyone present could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.
01:27:17 Kevin wanted to settle the debt with Amy and Kurt.
01:27:21 Amy and Kurt had already let him go, but he didn't want to let them go.
01:27:26 Why should he?
01:27:28 "Tell the truth?"
01:27:31 A malevolence flashed across Kurt's face.
01:27:34 "What do you mean?"
01:27:36 "Mister, what should I say about that slap you gave me earlier?"
01:27:41 "For Matthew's sake, I'm not going to argue with you, but you are getting ahead of yourself."
01:27:48 "You deserve that slap," Kevin interrupted coldly.
01:27:53 "As a manager of the White Swan, if a customer quarreled with their own employee, not only
01:28:00 would you not speak up for them, you would blame them for everything, whether it was
01:28:05 right or wrong.
01:28:08 After I came here, you had the opportunity to make amends for your previous mistakes,
01:28:14 but you blocked me from the front of the door.
01:28:17 You wanted to bully the weak and use force to change the situation.
01:28:23 In the end, I will let you watch the surveillance cameras, but you treat everyone like a fool.
01:28:30 You clearly have hardened your heart to walk a dark path.
01:28:34 For something like you, who can't distinguish right from wrong, who can invert black and
01:28:39 white, and who has hardened his heart to walk the path of black, what difference does it
01:28:45 make if I slap you?"
01:28:48 Kevin's powerful voice struck Kurt's mind like thunder, causing his face to be pale
01:28:53 and his legs to go limp.
01:28:55 "I'm not going to let you do this to me."
01:28:56 "I'm not going to let you do this to me."
01:28:57 "I'm not going to let you do this to me."
01:28:57 (upbeat music)
01:29:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
