In the evening, Kayden took a knife and slashed all four tires of Eric's car!-The next morning, Eric and his family planned to visit the town's market, but they were dumbfounded when they saw the flat tires!"Damn! This never ends!" Andy exclaimed. He knew the Nutikiville Johnson family was troublesome, but he didn't expect this level of trouble.Andy went to check the surveillance footage, and Gavin arrived.Seeing the four flat tires, Gavin shook his head repeatedly. If it had just been a scratch on the car's paint, Eric wouldn't have minded, but now, slashing all four tires was too much.Andy quickly returned after checking the footage. "It was him again!"Kayden had no idea that his every move was clearly recorded on the surveillance cameras. Initially, Eric didn't bother with it, and Kayden thought no one knew."Call the police!" Elly was fuming. "This is too much! How can someone be so wicked?"Eric was still considering it. After all, they were cousins. Should he re
Having done something wrong, he was very anxious, even considering escaping through the back door. Quickly dressing, he saw that Ruby had left as well, so he opened the back door and fled.Ruby was still at the front, calling out, "Officer, come inside and sit down. The dumplings will be ready soon. We can chat while we eat.""My son has been very well-behaved lately! He's been staying home every day, not causing any trouble. You can be absolutely assured!"She was unaware that Kayden had scratched someone's car paint and punctured the tires, let alone the fact that the compensation would be so high.The two policemen remained silent. After a few minutes, one of them said, "Why isn't he coming out? Even if he went to the bathroom, he'd be done by now.""Let's not wait anymore! Let's go in and get him!"Ignoring Ruby's attempts to stop them, the two policemen entered Jared's house. Inside, there was no one to be found. They went to Kayden's room and realized he had escaped."Chas
The police calmly explained the situation to Ruby, revealing that Kayden had damaged Eric's car.-Kayden was brought to the entrance of Eric's house, where Jared and Ruby were already present. Not only were they there, but even Richard and Delilah had come to witness the commotion.Eric received the quotation from the insurance company, noting that the price had increased to 70,000 dollars. He handed the document to the police officer, who glanced at it and then turned to Kayden. "The insurance company has provided a quote of 70,000 dollars. Do you want to pay the compensation, or should we proceed with legal action?"Let me tell you, 70,000 dollars is enough to send you to prison for several years. And going to prison doesn't mean you won't have to pay. Even after you get out, you'll still owe the 70,000 dollars!"Kayden turned pale. They had thought it would be a simple matter, but now it required compensation of 70,000 dollars?! He had dealt with second-hand cars before, but o
Gavin approached. "Mom, did you see everything? Please don't cause any more trouble. If anything gets damaged, my salary can't cover it!"He noticed another new, expensive car parked in front of Eric's house and feared Delilah might impulsively damage it, just like Kayden had done.Delilah snapped, "I'm not stupid enough to ruin something so expensive! At most, I might throw a few stones at their chickens. Chickens aren't worth much, are they?"But don't worry, I know how powerful his family is. I won't mess with them anymore!"She had learned her lesson and didn't dare to provoke them again.After a moment, she added, "But Gavin, you tell me: he's doing so well now, so why doesn't he take care of his relatives? If he casually gave us a few hundred thousand dollars, it would be enough for our retirement!"Even tens of thousands would do!"Gavin was speechless. "Mom, why would he give us anything? He doesn't owe us! Besides, getting me a job at Williams Corp. was already a big fa
Alexander also wanted grandchildren—whether they were grandsons or granddaughters didn't matter.Seraphine said, "Dad, Sylvester has been quite busy these past two years. Besides, we're still young. There's no rush.""Busy?" Alexander wasn't having it. "How busy could he be? No matter how important the work is, can it be more important than having children? Money? You both make millions from Montgomery Corp. every year. Isn't that enough for you?"If it's not enough, you can ask your aunt to give you more."Money? To Alexander, it was never a problem. Any problem that could be solved with money wasn't a problem at all."Dad..." Sylvester felt a bit embarrassed. His father-in-law's bluntness was quite something. But then again, the Montgomerys were never short of money.Alexander continued. "You two need to hurry up. Whether it's a grandson or granddaughter, you need to have one already."He was quite anxious. "Even if you want a son, doesn't Eric have a prescription for that? Ta
Seth pointed at Jaden and said, "What can you do with just over 300 points? We don't have a King City household registration. It's hard enough for you to get into a university! We're just ordinary, common folk."Kids from poor families need to study harder. Without education, how will you find a way out?"He had always firmly believed in this principle.There were indeed a few who succeeded without studying, but they were a rare exception, one in ten thousand.Studying meant more opportunities. Without it, one had nothing, and even if an opportunity arose, they couldn't seize it.Eric sighed and said, "Jaden, listen to your grandfather. I own a company, and to get into my company, you need at least a bachelor's degree. Without that, there's no chance."Some positions even require a master's or a doctorate. Your grandfather has worked hard to provide you with such good conditions. You should cherish it."Eric spoke from experience.Back in the day, his parents had gone to great
The Innova Group had arranged a special residence for Michael in Phoenix City, a villa specifically for his stay.After suffering severe injuries, Michael recuperated in the villa, aided by a highly professional medical team. Armed bodyguards patrolled the villa's perimeter, ensuring his safety. All these expenses were covered by the Innova Group to guarantee Michael’s security.When Eric arrived, he found Michael wrapped in bandages at various places, his injuries evidently severe."What exactly happened?" Eric asked as he exited Michael’s room.After Michael fell into a coma due to his injuries, Elias Zito took charge of the Innova Group’s affairs in Phoenix City. Elias, a trusted and skilled member of the company, had followed Michael through many overseas endeavors."It was a premeditated attack," Elias explained. "Several highly skilled individuals ambushed Michael midway. They first disabled his car by puncturing the tires and then threw several smoke bombs."Even someone a
The Crimson members likely knew that Michael and Shadow were brothers, yet they still dared to go after Michael. But why?Eric had already thought it through. Over the past few years, Shadow, the second-in-command of the Crimson Order, had probably been sidelined! Only in this way could a legend from the Crimson Order bypass Shadow to assassinate Michael!Eric even doubted whether Shadow could return from his quest for revenge. With this thought, he took out his phone and called Stealthbane. "If you're not busy, come to Phoenix City. It's getting quite lively here."Stealthbane, also a legend in his own right, was a powerful ally. Upon receiving the call, he immediately rushed to Phoenix City.A short while later, Michael woke up. Seeing Eric sitting by the bed, he weakly asked, "E-Eric... why are you here?"Eric replied, "Don’t speak. I came as soon as I got the call. Shadow found out that a legend from the Crimson Order was after you and went to seek revenge."Their motive isn'
