Chapter 1569
Going to Nutikiville meant not being able to accompany Amelia and Henry in Salt City, and staying in Salt City meant not being able to accompany Eric's parents.Upon hearing that, Sylvia said, "Eric, we should spend New Year's in Nutikiville. For the past two years, we celebrated in Salt City. While it was great for us and our parents here, no place compared to the way they felt about Nutikiville."This woman was quite astute.Did Eric's parents really want to spend New Year's in Salt City?Maybe not.They had spent their entire lives in Nutikiville, only coming to Salt City to work and support Eric and Elly through their studies.Now that they no longer needed to worry about money, no place was better than Nutikiville!Sylvia's words were also meant for Amelia and Henry. They couldn't disregard Eric's parents either.Eric didn't say anything, but Henry nodded. "Vee is right. You guys should decide for yourselves. If you ask for my opinion, Nutikiville sounds like a good idea."
Chapter 1570
In recent years, Kayden had fallen on hard times. Upon entering Richard’s home, he sat by the fireplace and looked at Gavin. "Cuz, are you still associating with them? Do you remember how much trouble their family has caused us over the years?"If it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t have spent years in prison, and my second-hand car business wouldn’t have gone under."His father, Jared, had kept a low profile, avoiding trouble. But Kayden and Ruby were restless and unable to stay out of trouble."Exactly!" Delilah chimed in. "Last time, that little bastard scared me half to death. Now, whenever it rains, my back aches! It’s all his fault!"Previously, when she tried to hit Blake’s chicken, she missed and was startled by Eric’s shout, causing her to nearly fall to her death in her panic."Mom, Kayden, the past is the past. At worst, we can just live our lives behind closed doors and not provoke them," Gavin said and sat down. "People say everyone is equal, but the truth is, there are

It wasn't just a matter of millions, hundreds of millions, or even billions. The millions spent in Nutikiville over the past few years were already beyond his imagination!Delilah slapped her thigh. "So that boy has really made it big, huh? Someone told me yesterday that Eric took Salt City's mayor to inspect the reservoir. I didn't believe it then, but now I do!"She realized Eric was no ordinary person. It would be wise to stop messing with his family's chickens, lest he called Elijah, and the Johnson family might never recover from that.Though she didn't know how powerful Eric was, she knew how significant Elijah was. In ancient times, such a figure would be like the ruler of Salt Province!To Delilah, even the local police station officers were like deities. Interacting with the station chief was the pinnacle of her social reach. Yet, even those officers were out of her reach.She decided not to provoke Blake's family anymore. If she couldn't afford to offend them, it would b

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
