"Oh, heavens! How did I end up with a son like this?! Is he even really my son?! It is no wonder that there is no reason plans between the two of us!" The person on the other end exclaimed.
Kevin was left dumbfounded when he heard his father's words. He just could not understand why his father was acting like this.
As for his father mentioning that the dirt on their family had been exposed online, and the police were taking action, he completely dismissed it. After all, how was that even possible?
Every time that they took action, they made sure that it would not implicate them in the future. They were not the arrogant type, to leave loose ends when dealing with things.
But now, unexpectedly, his father was so disappointed with him, to the extent of wanting to disown him? After all, why would he mention that he did not look like him?
Though, as he thought about it, he remembered something. Quite a number of times, some people had mistaken him as one of his father's subordinates, instead of son.
They usually thought that he did not look like his father at all. Simply put, there wasn't any resemblance between the two of them, apart from the hair color.
Kevin did not bother to think much about this, as he asked in a confused voice, "Dad, are you trying to imply that this brat has an unusual background? Was the call that he just made now real?"
"He made a call? What did he say when he was calling someone?" Kevin's father asked, as he tried to calm his anger.
"Well, he said something about destroying our family? But, I think that he was just boasting, trying to scare me. But I'm not afraid." Kevin responded honestly.
"He said that he would destroy our family, and you did not beg him for mercy? Today, I'm disowning you! No matter what, you are not my son!" Kevin's father was even more incensed.
"Huh? You are disowning me? How is that even possible? Have I not always been filial?" Kevin asked, dumbfounded.
"Oh, right, I forgot. If I disown you, there is a possibility that you might end up surviving this calamity.
So, you are going to continue to be a member of the Green family, so that you can suffer the same fate, as you are the reason why our family is collapsing now." Kevin's father stated, before abruptly ending the call.
Kevin was left speechless, as this was completely against what he had anticipated when his father had called.
It was also at this moment that he suddenly realized something. It turned out that this kid called Michael was not simple. It was no wonder that Alex and the others were always together with him.
Previously, due to his arrogance, he had not done much investigation on Michael. Additionally, during the first encounter with them, he did not pay Michael much attention, and mainly focused on Alex and the others.
But as he began thinking about it, thinking about the previous encounter, and today's encounter, he suddenly noticed something that was completely out of place.
Alex and the others, even though they were not the most valued within their families, they were still from the influential families within the city.
If they just met up with a young master of a small family, they would be holding high positions within the group. But thinking about the interaction between Michael and the others, it seemed that Michael was the leader of the group?
And as he thought about it, he gazed at Michael, behind whom Alex and the others stood, watching him.
It was then that it dawned. It was no wonder that Alex and the others were willing to do everything to protect Michael. It turned out that they knew about his background.
Previously, because he thought that they were not that much valued by their families, he could just beat them up, and their families would not cause much problem for his family.
At this moment, thinking about the words that his father had said, it seemed that all of it was true. And since that was the case, did that not imply that he had just destroyed his own family with his own hands?
Even though he loved Kate, was that really worth destroying his own family? And, if it was true that all the dirt on his family had been exposed online, would that not include his own actions?
Even if he really survived, and was not arrested by the police, Kate would never like him. After all, if she came to know that he was a gangster, and all the criminal activities that he had done, she would definitely hate him.
At that time, it would not be impossible for her to arrest him, instead of loving him. And as he thought about that, he felt great regret in his heart. Still, he understood, there was nothing that he could do.
If he had the ability, he would have definitely gone ahead and beaten up Michael. After all, with all the crimes that he had committed, it was inevitable that he would be sentenced to several years in prison.
Since that was the case, adding a small crime like beating up someone, it would not cause much of a wave, right?
Unfortunately, he did not have the ability to deal with Michael, and at the moment, Beetle was standing beside him. He could not beat either of them. So, he could only continue staying on the ground, waiting for his fate.
He was not sure if the police would arrive first, or if Michael would deal with him first.
Looking at the dispirited Kevin, Alex and the others were at first stunned. But then again, they began understanding something. Was it really possible that the Green family had already been dealt with?
One by one, they begin contacting others, to get the information. And, it was only then that they realized that there was quite some information on and the Green family online.
Looking at the dirt that was exposed online, even though the method was not as grand as during the exposure of the Kingsley family, still, they thought of something else.
Alex looked at Michael and asked, "Michael, is it possible that you are the owner of Annex supermarket chain?"
Michael had already anticipated such a question. After all, considering that the issue concerning Annex supermarket chain had happened not long ago, with this incident involving the Green family, it was inevitable that some people would link the two together.
So, to Alex's question, Michael simply nodded, leaving the group behind him dumbfounded.
Even Bernard had not expected this. Considering the waves that Annex supermarket chain had caused, even he, who really did not focus on issues related to the business world, had known about it.
He thought, the one that was behind Annex supermarket chain was not a simple character. He had even thought of a possibility that the owner of Annex supermarket chain might be from the central province.
And now that Michael had acknowledged that he was the owner of Annex Supermarket chain, Bernard thought of something. Was it possible that Michael was actually from the central province?
If that really was the case, then there was a possibility that he could finally get a job. And, since Michael already knew about his dishonorable discharge from the military, and was still offering him a job, there was a possibility that he would not fire him.
Thinking about this, Bernard felt thrilled. It had been several years, and he had never been employed. If he could get employed by Michael, that would be great.
Even though Michael had claimed that he would deal with all the medical expenses for his younger brother, Bernard would only feel assured if he could earn the money to support the expenses by himself.
"When did you acquire Annex Supermarket chain? Don't tell me that it was during the time that the Kingsley family was dealt with? And, are you the one that dealt with the Kingsley family?" After a moment of shock, Alex inquired further.
This time, Michael was not the one who responded. Instead, Raymond, who was standing next to Alex suddenly spoke up in realization.
"I remember now. Previously, before Kate met with Michael, she was supposed to be engaged to David Kingsley. But, after I went home and told my dad about the relationship between Michael and Kate, the engagement plans were canceled.
It is possible that David went to look for Michael, and as a result, Michael dealt with him. Even though that guy usually pretended to be good, I knew that he wasn't.
He was a total hypocrite. He was quite good at hiding his dirt, but it was unexpected that Michael could still dig them out," he said with amazement clear on his face.
The others around were also surprised by this. And at this time, they got even more determined to follow Michael.
Just thinking about how easily Michael was able to deal with the Kingsley and Green families, if he really wanted to deal with their own families, it would be simple, right?
Instead of getting such an enemy, it would be much better to have such a friend. So, they thought, if there was a chance that they could help Michael out, they would not hesitate.
"By the way, you said that you told your father about the relationship between Michael and Kate. What exactly is the relationship between the two of them? Tell me, are they dating?" Alex suddenly asked with interest in his eyes.
