Chapter 25
The call was answered quickly. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Elaine hurriedly said, "Hello, is it, Kevin? Hi, I'm Claire's mother..."
Ever since meeting Claire at the banquet, her beauty knocked him off his feet. He couldn't get her out of his mind, i
He was frustrated as to how he was supposed to approach Claire when coincidentally, her mother called him. He figured that Elaine must be in some kind of trouble and of course, he would not miss the chance to woo her.
Thus, he put up a sincere tone and said, "Auntie, are you in any trouble?"
"Well, there is something I need you to help me with," Elaine hurriedly said, "Kevin, some old friends and I have bought some participating policies from an insurance company called Axel and we literally used all our money to buy it. However, the company isn’t paying us our dividends now and they don't even want to return us our money! Could you find a way to help me get the money back, please?” 5
Kevin was delighted upon hearing it, figuring that it was time for him to perform. Hence, he said confidently, "Auntie, don’t worry, I'll come to you right now! I'll help you solve the problem!" 2
Elaine was over the moon. "Oh my goodness! Thank you so much!" 1
After ending the call, she glared at Charlie again and huffed in great dismay. "Some people are just as useless as a heap of rubbish, we can't count on him. What else can he do besides chanting?" 2
Charlie sneered. His mother-in-law was indeed snobbish and blind. 1
She asked Kevin to help, huh?
The company had defrauded them of at least tens of millions or even more. They must have some kind of a special background for them to be so bold to have deceived them of so much money. It was even possible that a big boss in the mafia world was behind all this. How could Kevin ask these ferocious scammers to spit the money out!? 2
The White family's influence was average at best. After Emgrand Group had terminated all the projects with them, their power had shrunk even more. It was basically impossible for the White family to interfere with financial fraud on such a large scale. 1
Frankly, he could just call Isaac of Shangri-La and the problem would be solved immediately. After all, he was the Wade family's representative in Aurous Hill. All the businessmen and the people from the good and bad sides had to give him way due to his power.
However, his mother-in-law was annoyingly abominable. Since she believed in Kevin, then Kevin should take the stage and do whatever he planned to d o!
Some people had a bright smile on their faces as they saw Elaine making the call. They quickly gathered around to ask if she had found a powerful man to help them.
Elaine curled her lips into a proud grin and announced, "Don't worry, everyone. I've asked Mr.
White to help us. He is very influential and capable, I'm sure he can get the money back easily!" 3
Someone shrieked in surprise, "Wow, Mr. White?
Elaine, you really are awesome to have found such a powerful man!" 1
"Yes! Mr. White must have significant networks and connections. It must be a piece of cake for him to settle our problem, right?”
"Elaine, since you know such a competent young man, why don't you marry your daughter to him? Why this loser instead!" 1
Elaine glared at Charlie in disdain and said coldly," This loser will be kicked out of our family in no time!" 1
Charlie didn't say a word. He was waiting for Kevin to come and see how disastrous he was going to end up. 2
Soon, a black Porsche slowly stopped in front of everyone.
A handsome young man in a suit stepped out of the car.
Here came Kevin White.
The seniors squeaked in awe, "Wow, look at him, handsome and smart-looking! I wonder which family i s lucky enough to have him as their son-in-law!"
