An icy smile formed at the corner of Samuel's mouth. He stretched out his hand gracefully and grasped the menacing fist.The fist came to an abrupt stop and the man was taken aback. He did not expect Samuel to grasp his fist so easily.Before he could come back to his senses and realize what had happened, Samuel delivered a sudden kick and sent the man back dozens of steps before finally falling onto the ground."This ... ""F*ck, this piece of trash has skills?""How is that possible? Isn’t he good-for-nothing?!"At that moment, there was a huge contrast between Samuel's strength and his reputation as a wimp. Gareth was forced to be more cautious and no longer dared to underestimate Samuel.Yvonne’s mouth was wide agape and she was shocked too. She had only seen Samuel being bullied, and submitted meekly to all those insults, but she had never seen Samuel with such a strong side before."Samuel, you do know that this is my turf, right? Anyone who hurts me doesn’t even need to think ab
In the past, Johann did not dare to make a move against Gareth without Samuel's order. In addition, Gareth had a strong backing, and a small move would cause him to lose everything. Without Samuel's protection, Johann could kill Gareth but would be left unable to escape the charge.Things were different though. Samuel was going to shake the entire Cloud City and Johann placed all his doubts behind. He believed in Samuel’s ability. Even though Samuel was spurned by the tens of thousands of people, Johann knew that the live-in son-in-law had lots of influence.Johann stopped talking because he was not qualified to speak there.When Gareth saw that Johann did not speak, he thought Johann was scared and said proudly, "Johann, since you know that I’ve got a strong backing, aren’t you going to tell your goons to scram? Do I have to kick you out?"Samuel stood up suddenly at that time and walked toward Gareth.Having seen Samuel's skills, Gareth instinctively took two steps back and asked cau
"Keep whacking him if he doesn’t say anything.""I’ll tell, I’ll tell," Gareth said in a flustered tone. "Harvey wants me to have a sexual relationship with Yvonne. Then, he’ll expose this incident to the whole of Cloud City. He wants to use this incident to drive Yvonne out of the Sue family."Samuel clenched his fists all of a sudden!Samuel could let Harvey go if Harvey only targeted the west side project, but he put his malicious intentions onto Yvonne, which was a crime deserving of death.It was a touchy subject that should not be disturbed!Samuel would never allow Yvonne to be hurt."Lock him here." After uttering those three words, Samuel left the dining hall.Gareth clamored due to his downfall for offending Samuel, but after a few fists, he finally calmed down.Back in the parking lot, Yvonne sat in the car nervously. She could not wait to get out of the car when she saw Samuel."Samuel! How are you doing? Are you okay?" Yvonne looked up and down at Samuel nervously and was
"Yara, what are you talking about.""How can you talk nonsense when Grandma is here.""Shooting your mouth off like that. What nonsense."Although the relatives present did not have a favorable opinion of Yvonne, they knew how much the old lady paid attention to how the family carried itself. It was normal to put Yvonne down, but it was not good to talk about such things.Yara also understood the old lady’s attitude toward such a thing. She never dared to joke about it before, but she believed she had evidence that Yvonne had fallen into Gareth’s hands. Surely there was nothing wrong in speaking the truth?"Why are you all so anxious? Will I joke about this kind of thing?" Yara said nonchalantly.Upon hearing that, the other relatives were so shocked that they could not keep their mouths shut.She was not joking? Was it true?Yvonne did those things with a wild man!"Yara, make yourself clear if you have something to say." The old lady had a gloomy disposition toward Yara’s question. S
Affair!Yvonne was immediately incensed. The slander was wholly uncalled for and it was an insult to her innocence."Yara, what did you put in your mouth? You stink when you talk," Yvonne chided angrily.With confidence in her beliefs, Yara stood up confidently and said, "You dare to do it but you don’t dare to bear the consequences? Tell us then. Has the trouble been resolved?""Of course," Yvonne answered."Hmph." Yara smiled coldly. "How did you solve it? How much did it cost?""No... No money was spent." Samuel handled that matter for her, and as far as his methods were concerned, Yvonne herself had not the slightest idea, though she was sure that he did not spend a single cent."Hahaha!" Yara laughed, and said, "You were able to solve it without spending money? Not bad of you. I’m sure you used other tricks.""Yvonne, the other party is Gareth, someone who’s extremely shady. You were able to solve everything without spending any money?" Harvey was certain of what happened between
Two people walked into the conference room; one of them was Johann, and the other had a sack over his head.Although the Sue family was not yet one of Cloud City’s great families, they would never allow anyone to make trouble in the company. The old lady asked coldly, "Who are you and how dare you come to our company to cause trouble?"After Johann glanced at Yvonne, he said, "Old Madam, my name is Johann Lynn. I’m sure you’ve heard of me before?"Johann Lynn!Everyone in the Sue family became agitated inside the conference room. Johann was no small figure in Cloud City, and the Sue family—with its current strength—could not afford to provoke him. Despite that, why would he come to the Sue family and cause trouble there?"It’s you, Brother Johann. I wonder if something’s the matter for you to come to our company?" The old lady's tone changed suddenly and she respectfully addressed him as Brother Johann.Social status was not determined by age.The old lady held high authority in the Su
Grandma Sue’s expression turned stony. How was she supposed to wrap everything up neatly when the situation had been blown into such monstrous proportions? It would be too obviously biased if she did not try to appease Yvonne. However, she could not bring herself to throw Harvey out of the house.Yvonne had raked in quite a tidy fortune for the Sues, but to Grandma Sue, her worth would never surpass that of Harvey’s. Furthermore, only Harvey could carry on the Sue legacy.“Brother Johann, I'm very grateful for your help with our family matter,” Grandma Sue told him. “Just tell me how much you want.”Johann’s intention of making extra profit was a mere excuse. Samuel had instructed him to do this, and he merely followed orders. “Seeing that you’re an upstanding citizen, Grandma Sue, and I'm not an insensible person, I’ll see you again when you have settled the matter.”He left the office with Gareth after he finished speaking.Silence suffocated the air of the meeting room. Harvey kneel
Samuel went to the general store at 4.30pm, but the store still had not opened. He had a bad feeling about this. Has something terrible happened to the owner’s family? Why would they suddenly close up shop without a single word otherwise?After he picked Yvonne up, he noticed that her face was puffed up like a goldfish. It was obvious that she was fuming. “What’s wrong?” he asked, smiling. “The matter is solved, no? Or did Grandma not praise you?”Yvonne harrumphed icily. “Today, when Johann brought Gareth to expose everything Harvey did, Grandma just let him get away,” she said. “All she did was tell him to go back home and reflect upon himself.”Samuel could only express a mirthless smile at her words. Sure, Grandma Sue would always have a bias toward Harvey, but he should have been demoted no matter what. At the very least, she had to make an example of him. The words ‘reflect upon himself’ sounded laughably ridiculous in this case.Additionally, it was not just a simple case of Gra
