Cold sweat kept rolling down Lambert’s face, and he could only pray that Emma did not ask for too much.Emma said, “I will punish you... and everyone in the Kennedy family to send breakfast to the cleaner uncles and aunties for free every morning.”‘Uh……’Lambert did not know whether to laugh or cry. ‘This was a punishment? This should be considered a charity event, right?’For the Kennedy family, this was not a problem at all. On the contrary, this might come useful when it came to restoring some reputation for the Kennedy family through such activities.He breathed a sigh of relief, and repeatedly bowed to Emma, “Ms. Hill, you really have a generous and forgiving heart. I wish you a prosperous and long life!”Upon hearing that, Emma felt goosebumps all over her body, “Okay, okay, I’ve already punished you. Folks, please get up and you may take your leave now.”“Alright!”Lambert stood up and beckoned to everyone, “Get up, all of you. Let’s prepare food together. Starting tomo
Thomas asked rhetorically, “Imagine if I didn’t complete the terms in the betting contract today, would you guys, including Grandpa, be lenient to me? Wouldl he just leave me alone? Would you put the betting contract aside and ignore it?”‘Of course not.‘If I can’t fulfill the terms, I will definitely be expelled immediately.’Everyone lowered their heads, and they knew very well what the result was.Thomas continued by saying, “If I lose, you will definitely fulfill the betting contract strictly. If it was the case, why do you want me to forget about the contract? Is this the house rule of your Hill family?!”Everyone was speechless.If Richard did not apologize today, it seemed that the matter would not be over.“But...” Thomas chuckled, “When I think about it, it’s too much to ask Grandpa to serve me a cup of tea. I can’t take that as a junior.”“As the saying goes, a father’s debts should be paid back by his son. Since Grandpa can’t do it, let the grandson and the grandson
On the way back, Emma drove in silence the entire way home. Thomas stared at her for a long time. He let out a drawn-out sigh and said, “Sorry.”Emma was taken aback for a moment. “Hm?”“Sorry. I promised you I would not pick a fight with the old man. I couldn't control myself today. It’s my fault.”Emma laughed bitterly. Was there any meaning in saying this now?In fact, all this was not even Thomas’s fault. Richard, Donald, and the rest were just big bullies. If Thomas did not retaliate, he would have been chased out of the Hill household a long time ago. Thomas was not the only one affected. Even Emma had been ostracized. And it was just because she was a woman. Just because she did not marry a powerful and affluent husband. Even though she was a member of the Hill family, the old man had not regarded her as a proper human being. Emma said, “I don't blame you. Anyone would be mad at what happened today. Take Lambert’s apology, for example. Back then, my eldest sister p
“Imbecile! Is this the way you speak to me?”Emma bit her lips, both furious and fearful. Thomas walked over and talked to him. “Dad, if you really want to get promoted, I could help you think of an idea. Buttering up to that director is not the only way.”“You?” Johnson scolded. “What do you think you are? So what if you talk back? Also, don't call me 'Dad'. If you are a man, then you'll fulfill the contract and immediately divorce my daughter. In the future, you'll stay as far as you can. Don't show up in front of me!”The situation was extremely awkward. Until Emma said coolly, “I will not divorce Thomas.”“You dare?!”“Why won't I dare? Today the Hills snagged a $3 billion investment. The Kennedys have also come up to apologize. Thomas had done all that he promised. He won't leave the Hills, and he definitely won't divorce me!”“What?”Johnson thought his ears were playing tricks on him. He did not dare, nor was he willing to believe that Emma's words were real. “If yo
In the room, Emma huffed as she rolled on the bed. Thomas smiled as he walked over. “Why are you so mad? It really wasn't such a big deal.”Emma rolled her eyes at him. “Isn’t all my anger because of you? Yet you can still talk rot here. Do you really want me to go on a blind date with Berko, whatever his name is?”Thomas sat down. “I don't want that, but I also don't want you to throw a tantrum at your dad. He's your father after all.”“Hmph. All he cares about is his promotion. He never thought about me.”As she said this, Emma suddenly gripped her shoulder and cried out in pain. “Ah...”“What's wrong?”“I don't know. My shoulder is so sore, and it hurts.”Thomas reached out his hand and placed it on her shoulder. He shifted her clothes slightly out of the way, showing her snow-white skin. “You've been working too hard lately. You are overworked and your muscles are not relaxed enough, that's why it's sore.”“I'll help you massage for a bit and keep the blood circulation
Darcy spoke with a bitter look on his face. “Mr. Hudson, this isn't really my fault. It's all that Thomas's doing. He's just difficult to deal with. We could not fight back against him. Mr. Hudson, you need to help me.”“Bah!” Conley scolded. “You useless thing. I must have been blind to hand over Shalom Technology to a piece of trash like you to manage.”He paused, then asked, “Who did you say Thomas was, anyway?”Darcy said, “I've investigated it. He's Scott's biological elder brother. Went to serve the military on the west coast for five years. He didn't create any big name for himself there. Until now, he still lives in his wife's house. He's a hopeless son-in-law who married into his wife's family. ”“And you can't even handle a man like that?”“It's not that… Thomas was in the army, after all. He's good at fighting, and I heard he even saved an important general before. The other time when we went to kneel in front of the grave, it was that general's men who scared us into d
Early morning the next day, Johnson was watering some plants in front of the house when a white car stopped in front of the door. The car door opened. A tall, spectacled man walked out. He walked to the yard and said to Johnson. “Excuse me, does Thomas live here?”Johnson gazed at this man from top to bottom, sizing him up. “Who are you?”“I'm Calix Weston, Skyworld Enterprise’s Department General Manager. There's a leaflet from the Court, I need to give it to Thomas.”“A Court leaflet? What crime did Thomas commit?”“You'll know when you call him out.”Still suspicious, Johnson rushed back to the house and yelled, “Thomas, you get here!”Not long later, Thomas walked out, Emma and Felicia behind him. They also heard Calix and Johnson's conversation. So they regarded Calix with a hint of hostility. Back then, Scott was forced to the grave by Skyworld Enterprise. Now, what more did they want to do with Thomas?Calix handed the leaflet over to Thomas.“Thomas, your brother
Calix smiled. “If you’re able, I welcome you to pay off all of the debts, which cost $1,200,000,000.”After he spoke, he did not stay anymore. He turned around and left.In the car, Calix received a call from Coley, the chairman of Skyworld Enterprise.“Weston, how did it go?”“There’s no problem. I’ve passed the court summons to Thomas and asked him to pay off $900,000,000 of the debt in one year.”“Haha, great! Weston, your idea’s great. In that case, Thomas will be forced to commit suicide because of the huge debt, just like Scott!”Even so, Calix was relatively calm.Initially, he had the same thought as Coley. However, when he saw Thomas’ expression earlier, he knew that he should not look down on this man.Calix had dealt with countless people, so he could see how capable someone was with just one look.Yet, he seemed to have trouble understanding Thomas.He reminded Coley, “Mr. Hudson, I’m worried that Thomas will ask other companies for help. He might get Shalom Techn
