Jeff knew that his action would definitely offend many people, so he sorted out all his connections when he arrived in the city. He would make use of anyone useful to him. After everything was done, he did not expose himself but holed up in a secluded inn. He believed no one could find him. Even though Jeff disapproved of Vance, he would not joke about something like this. He would never use family affairs to cause internal conflicts. Vance was the only heir to the family, and Jeff was resentful of this fact. This position belonged to his elder brother, but everything had changed. Jeff was heartbroken over his brother’s tragic death and mentally prepared himself to accept this job. Although it was difficult to take up the position of head of the family, he relished it. However, others quickly denied this outcome, and even gossipmongers had various stories about Vance’s family. Although the Cod family was quite famous in the next town, they could only find some unnecessary i

Alton could always find something to help him decide. At this time, Alton was focused on connecting with people from Breeze City. The Cod family was quite big. Arriving here in one piece was enough to prove their strength. It was better than nothing. The gains would far outweigh the losses if Alton worked with them. Although Jeff was unhappy with Vance’s actions, he chose to help Vance for the sake of the family’s interests. Since the family wanted to gain a foothold in the city, they had to make a name for themselves. The simplest method was to mess with Treasure House. Vance and his men only had a grudge against Treasure House since they arrived, so they decided to target the other party. Alton happily received Jeff, who was the sole representative. “Indeed, I've heard of the Cod family. You have a good reputation, and you have good financial standing to back you up,” Alton said with envy. To be honest, he was truly jealous of such a wealthy family. Although he held a high po

This was a rare opportunity, and 20% was a huge sum of money. However, Jeff had overlooked Alton’s appetite! To Alton, 20% was not worth his time. “That’s too little. I’ll consider 40%,” Alton voiced his thoughts. “Cosmo City is now the center of attraction drawing forces from all walks of life. Many people have approached me, but the Cod family is relatively larger compared to them. I have to take a lot of risks to support you. “Of course, most importantly, you want to deal with Treasure House.” Alton smiled. To be honest, he would not deal with Treasure House without help from others, but the Cod family wanted to do it single-handedly. “Do you know anything about Treasure House at all?” Alton raised his eyebrows mockingly. Jeff scowled darkly. He never expected Alton to be so greedy to ask for 40%. Jeff had found out everything about Treasure House and wanted to seize it. The things sold in the store were top-notch, and the business was so good that even the Cod famil

Vance roared in anger and dissatisfaction. “Hey, don't say that. He’s doing all the errands. We need someone like him to do that. Your grandpa took him in just for that reason, so don’t take it to heart!” Emma’s explanation was very shocking, and everyone stared at her in angry disbelief. They preferred Jeff, who was always fair and hardworking, compared to the arrogant and domineering Vance. Jeff returned to the inn at that moment and heard everything clearly. Emma’s words left his heart cold. Indeed, he was an adopted child. He knew that he was different from others, so he had always worked hard and tread carefully to make a living in the family. He did not know these people looked down upon him so much. Jeff was upset but showed no signs of it. Vance’s mother, Emma, held all the family’s finances in her hand now. He had to please her to get the money. In turbulent times, they had to have money in hand. Jeff quickly came up with a plan to deal with these people. When

The Cod family used the same method against the mayor of Breeze City. Jeff quickly returned to the mayor's residence and conveyed Emma’s message, “We agree to give you 40% of the turnover, but you have to do some things for us. We need to build our residence and store.” The two quickly decided on the plan, but Alton had already implemented his plan in the background. The Cod family wanted to use him to deal with Treasure House, so he could turn things against the former. Alton’s many spies had found out about the conflict between Vance and Philip. That was why they could not wait to get back at Philip. What happened at Treasure House was not a secret. The news spread like wildfire, and everyone soon heard how Vance was kicked out. It was a fatal blow to the superior Cod family. Alton smiled and found some people to act as the guards of the Cod family to mess with them. “Oz, get some people to cause trouble in the name of the Cod family. Try to shift the blame and make them

At Riverdale Public Hospital. “Excuse me, make way!” Philip Clarke was carrying an unconscious little girl as he rushed into the hospital, yelling madly, “Doctor! Doctor! Quick, save my little girl!” The nurses and doctor who had rushed out quickly took the child from Philip’s arms, and entered the emergency room. “Oh, you can’t go in!” A nurse in an azure-colored uniform with a face mask stopped Philip from entering into the emergency room. Just then, the rapid sounds of high heels clicking against the ceramic tiles could be heard from the back, squeezing his heart with every click. “Philip Clarke!” roared a woman’s voice. ‘Slap!’ A crisp slap came in firm contact with Philip’s cheek. Before him, stood Wynn Johnston with an enraged expression as tears pooled in her beautiful eyes. “If anything happens to my daughter, I will never forgive you!” Her tone was cold and laced with full fury. This scene frightened quite a few patients and their family members in the hospital

Philip’s expression changed, frowning slightly. Seeing Philip in his delivery uniform, looking shabby, Lily pointed at the door and said, “Get out now, we don’t allow delivery men here.” “I’m not here for delivery,” explained Philip. Lily tidied her bangs before crossing her arms and said icily, “This is not the first time I hear this. Everyone that comes in here says they’re not delivery men. Please!” “I’m not. I’m here to see George Thomas.” Feeling exasperated, Philip headed inside after saying that. “F*ck! Are you mad? Didn’t you hear what I was saying?” Lily was furious. It was her first time seeing such a shameless delivery man who would just force his way in after being denied entry. Just then, a department manager seemed to have heard the commotion and came out with an ugly expression. “What’s going on?” “Manager Stuart, this delivery man is trying to force his way into our office!” Lily pointed at Philip and then continued with much disdain, “I’ll get security to

“It’s just money. Who said I didn’t manage to borrow any?” Philip glared viciously at Juan. Juan was dumbstruck as his expression froze. When the surprise was still evident in his eyes, Philip tossed the plastic bag in his hand in front of him and Wynn. The bag fell with a loud thud and rolls of cash appeared before their eyes. The corner of Juan’s eye twitched slightly as his lips trembled. His hands had subconsciously balled into fists. Wynn was surprised. She stared at the money Philip had tossed in front of them, confused, but then her expression immediately turned cold as anger surfaced in her eyes. Where did Philip get all this money? If he had this, why didn’t he take it out earlier? I even had to keep another man company by chatting happily with him! Doesn’t he know how tiring it is? “Here’s a hundred thousand. I’m paying you back all at once, including the past loans! Don’t ever come here again,” said Philip coldly. Juan did not take the money. To be frank, this
