Chapter 831: Turned into a Lunatic

“Tyson, you claim that he’s still alive, but you can’t produce any evidence. How can you convince us? Okay, since you say that Charlie isn’t dead, summon him immediately!

“As long as Charlie appears in front of everyone, the rumors will naturally collapse on their own. Wouldn’t that be more useful than trying so hard to explain it here?” Thomas said unrelentingly.

He didn’t believe what Tyson said at all, and he had to make Charlie appear.

Tyson raised his brows and said furiously, “I’ve already said it several times. I’ve sent Charlie to carry out a confidential mission, and he’s not in DC now!”

“Enough!” Thomas slapped the table in annoyance. “You keep saying the same things. Tyson, don’t think that we’re all fools who will be deceived by you!

“You’re saying he went out to carry a secret mission, huh? In that case, tell me what mission it is that even we, the core members of the family, can’t know?

“Also, even if Charlie went on a mission, he must have brought his phone with him. But now, we can’t even reach him. No one’s picking up! Surely you’re not going to say that he went to some mountain where there’s no reception to carry out his mission, are you?

“Only you’d believe your bullshit excuses!

“There are all kinds of rumors spreading out there. If you can’t give us a reasonable explanation, I won’t give up!”

Anger surged in Thomas’s chest.

“Thomas is right. You must give us a reasonable explanation about Charlie!”

“Yes, you can’t act arbitrarily here. If you can’t give us a clear explanation, step down from your position as helmsman and hand it over to someone competent!”

“The position of the helmsman is meant for those who are capable. If you can’t resolve the crisis at hand, you might as well step down and give way to someone else!”

…

The people present all had high seniority in the family. They spoke up at once without cutting Tyson any slack at all. They simply demanded that he step down as helmsman.

Reason being, they all knew that Tyson was just an incompetent wastrel who wouldn’t have become the helmsman without Charlie!

Tyson was extremely furious.

There were unverified rumors about Charlie, and these elders all turned against him and even demanded that he step down as the helmsman. It was outrageous!

But Tyson couldn’t lose his temper and deal with these old men because they had high seniority in the family. If they stood together, they would definitely be able to overthrow him and strip him of his position as helmsman.

How could he let this happen?

Tyson gritted his teeth and said to the people around him, “In that case, I can promise you that I will definitely give you an explanation and tell you all about my plan at this time tomorrow. But I can’t do so now!”

“Tomorrow? Are you trying to delay? What difference does an extra day make?” Thomas mocked.

Smack!

Tyson slammed the table. “I said that I would give you all an explanation at this time tomorrow! If you try to force me now, I won’t be polite to you!

“Don’t forget. I’m the helmsman of the Smiths now. If you turn against me, I don’t mind fighting to the death with you! Let’s see who wins in the end!”

Seeing him lose his temper, the elders fell silent.

In fact, Tyson was right. The elders could indeed stand together to remove him from his position. But given that he had been the helmsman for years, he certainly had some trump cards in his hands.

If they really fought, neither side would be at an advantage, and they would only end up benefiting the enemies who were waiting for an opportunity.

At that time, the entire family would be in danger of being annihilated.

“Okay, we’ll give you another day! If you still can’t give us a reasonable explanation and solution to solve our troubles by this time tomorrow, you should resign from the position of helmsman yourself, lest things turn too ugly!” Thomas glowered at Tyson with hatred. Then he turned around and slammed the door as he left.

With his departure, the other senior members left one after another.

Tyson was soon the only one left in the large living room.

He sat on his chair for a long time before slamming the porcelain cup in his hand on the floor and roaring, “Lucas Gray, it’s you again, you bastard!”

Tyson knew that Lucas could be the only person who spread the news in DC!

It was because Charlie was in Lucas’s hands!

But even Tyson didn’t know now if Charlie was still alive or not.

Having lost his right-hand man, Tyson felt like he had lost his greatest reliance, and he was full of anxiety and anger.

He guessed correctly. Lucas had indeed released the rumors to sow discord within the Smiths and cause them to fall into internal strife.

While Tyson was still venting his anger, a subordinate came in shakily and reported, “Mr. Smith, Mr. Oscar is back!”

Tyson immediately yelled, “Quickly tell him to come in here to see me! I have to ask him what happened in California!”

“This…” The subordinate looked conflicted and terrified, seemingly not daring to continue.

“What are you waiting for? I told you to get him to come!” Tyson hollered and kicked the subordinate’s leg.

The subordinate was on the verge of tears, but he had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, “Mr. Oscar… has gone mad!”

“What did you say?!” Tyson was flabbergasted!

“Mr. Oscar… As soon as he returned, he began… speaking incoherently. He seems to have suffered a huge blow!”

“Get lost!” Tyson froze for a moment before roaring again.

He immediately kicked his subordinate aside and then rushed out of the villa.

Oscar was Tyson’s only biological son, and his villa was right next to Tyson’s.

There was a figure huddling under the large tree at the entrance of the villa, looking panic-stricken.

“I beg you, please don’t kill me!

“I… I know my mistakes. I won’t ever come to California or show up in front of you again!

“And… and I’ll give you that plot of land for free! Please don’t come here. Stay away!”

The figure was Oscar!

He was no longer as high-spirited as before. Instead, his eyes were blank, and he was shuddering from head to toe, with fear written all over his face, completely terrified of being touched.

Oscar had really become a lunatic!
