Chapter 13

After being hung up on, a furious Harvey threw his cell phone onto the ground and smashed it to pieces.

"You piece of trash. How dare you hang up on me? What right do you have!" Harvey exploded in anger.

Lionel's heart sank. Their lives would be over if Harvey did not come forward.

"What's going on, Harvey? Is Yvonne disinclined to come forward?" Lionel asked.

Harvey sneered and said, "Samuel answered the call. He said Yvonne was sick."

"Sick?" Lionel spat out in disdain. "I think she’s pretending to be sick and is deliberately avoiding everything."

As angry as he was, Lionel's IQ was still working perfectly. Regardless of the situation, he had to make sure that Yvonne came forward. The collaboration was not a serious matter, but being kicked out of the Sue family was.

"Come on, Harvey. I’ll accompany you for a ride," Lionel said.

Harvey had a cold expression. He was riled up to no end after Samuel hung up on him, so it was only natural that he wanted to look for Samuel and settle scores.

Lionel had a look of disgust when he reached the housing area where Yvonne's family was located.

"As expected, the least promising individuals in the Sue family live in such a place."

"Dad, it’s already good enough that they have a doghouse to live in. Would they be able to live in Cloudridge Hill’s villas with a salary of several thousand bucks a month?" Harvey snickered.

Being able to live in Cloudridge Hill Villas was a manifestation of a person’s status. Grandmother Sue’s biggest wish was to allow the Sue family to move into the Cloudridge Hill Villas since that was the only way they could be considered a first-rate family.

When the knock on the door sounded, Samuel asked Yvonne to go inside the room. Since she had to pretend that she was sick, they had to go all-out with their acting.

The door swung open and Harvey looked at Samuel in anger.

"Samuel, did you just hang up on me?" Harvey said.

"You bet."

Harvey suddenly raised his fist and waved it toward Samuel's face.

"You piece of rubbish, what right do you have to hang up on me."

Boom!

Samuel kicked Harvey's abdomen in a thunderous manner.

Harvey was slammed into the wall before he could even lay his fist on Samuel.

The sharp pain emanating from Harvey’s lower abdomen distorted his expression and made him squat on the ground.

"Samuel! How dare you hit my son." Lionel was furious when he saw the scene.

Samuel stared at Lionel coldly and shot back, " I’ll hit you too if you continue to spew nonsense out of your trap."

Lionel's heart was shaken. That wimp’s expression really did strike fear into his heart.

Was he not the soft guy that had always been bullied? Why did he become stronger that day all of a sudden?

"How dare you hit me, Samuel!" Harvey gritted his teeth and hissed.

"Since you’re coming to ask for help, at least look like you’re actually asking for help. Didn't grandma clearly spell out what would happen if the collaboration was lost?" Samuel said.

That sentence made Lionel and Harvey’s anger subside instantly. If they could not recover the collaboration, they would be driven out of the Sue family.

"Does this have anything to do with you, Samuel? Tell Yvonne to come out," Lionel ordered.

"Why doesn’t it have anything to do with me? Yvonne is my wife. She’s sick now, so I’m in charge of the family affairs for the time being," Samuel retorted.

"Wife?"

Upon hearing Samuel's words, Lionel and Harvey sneered at the same time.

"Don’t you have a little bit of decency, Samuel? You’re a spineless good-for-nothing that has to rely on a woman to get by. Are you in any place to speak?" Lionel asked.

"Does Yvonne agree to what you just said? Don’t you know that Yvonne is cuckolding you? How do you think she managed to negotiate the contract with Weakriver Real Estate?" Harvey shot a mocking look at Samuel.

Samuel frowned. He knew very well how Yvonne managed to negotiate the collaboration, and he knew that Harvey's remarks were obviously a malicious insult toward Yvonne.

A strong killing intent emanated from Samuel as he walked haughtily toward Harvey.

Harvey shrank his neck and was inexplicably frightened. He stammered and muttered, "You... What do you think you’re doing?"

"I’ll make sure you die if you dare to speak ill of her again."
