Chapter 4081

Author: Lord Leaf
If he was unable to cover up the matter, he would have to completely disappear from the world. Otherwise, those VIPs who had done a lot of dirty business with him would surely come after him.

Paying four billion and one hundred million US dollars hurt him, but he would not frown if he could keep the Italian mafia’s family’s mouth shut.

About more than an hour later, Franco’s corpse finally arrived in Seattle.

Finley was afraid that his parents would not be able to accept his brother's death, so he dared not send the corpse home. Instead, he sent the corpse to the funeral parlor first.

After that, he went to the funeral parlor in person to see his younger brother one last time.

Finley was deeply guilty and remorseful for Franco’s death.

He felt guilty because he was the one who had brought Franco into his circle. However, he had failed to protect Franco well. Franco had lost his life because of his involvement in his shady business.

    The voice of a young man in his twenties sounded, and he asked, “Finley, is my order in transit yet?”The one who had called was none other than the most favored child in the Fox family, Homer Fox. Homer was Kathleen’s eldest uncle, Spencer Fox’s eldest grandson. He was twenty-seven years old, which was the same age as Finley.Homer might only be a few years older than Kathleen, but he was Kathleen’s nephew. His father, Xavion Fox, was Kathleen’s eldest cousin. The young Homer was a ruthless playboy. On the surface, he appeared to be working for the Fox family’s investment fund. However, he was not actually working there. He spent most of his time and energy hunting and looking for new excitements.When Homer was just a teenager, his family had sent him to the best private school. There, he had made friends with a large number of rich kids from very prestigious families.Some rich kids had gotten together to study how to make more money and achieve their careers. However, som

    Finley was the best when it came to meeting all of their needs.When Finley heard Homer asking about the goods, he immediately realized that the goods Homer referred to was the girl named Stephanie Lewis that his third brother, Franco, went to pick up at sea last night.Homer fell for Stephanie immediately the moment he saw her a few days ago. His desire for her was such that he was willing to pay a huge sum of money to buy her.If this was in the past, Homer would have taken this opportunity to earn a fortune. After all, he provided the service. It was only right for the customer to pay for it. However, Homer recently got into a string of good luck.His grandfather Spencer, who had been the heir apparent to the throne for decades, finally took out his great-grandfather and ascended to the throne with ease. This also meant that Homer’s father had become the Fox family’s new crown prince.Homer’s path to becoming the head of the Fox family was clear. He was only one step away f

    Finley was curious. “Why, Young Master Fox! Which woman have you set your eyes on? Please give me her basic information. I’ll have someone investigate her first and see if there is any opportunity for us to take her. Even if she’s the princess from the royal family of any country, I’ll definitely get her for you!”Homer laughed, highly pleased. “Oh, Finley! You truly are the most capable!”Smiling, he continued, “Finley, have you heard of a very famous female singer in Oskia named Quinn Golding?”“Quinn Golding?” Finley’s jaw dropped in shock. He said carefully, “Young Master Fox… You’re not not pulling my leg, right? You’re interested in Quinn Golding?”Finley was an Oskian. How could it be possible for him to not know of Quinn?In the entertainment circle, Quinn Golding was known as the light of the Oskians.She was currently one of the Oskian singers with the highest influence in the world.She had all the qualities of a national idol. Not only was she extremely beautiful, bu

    If unremarkable young women disappeared, at most, it would spark only a little attention in a small local community. The news might not even be broadcasted on a city-level media. Thus, the risks were non-existent and it was much safer for Finley.That wasn’t the case for someone as renowned as Quinn Golding. News of her disappearance would shake the entire globe. If the resulting investigation revealed his tracks, wouldn’t it be disastrous for him?Thinking of this, he hurriedly said, “Young Master Fox, I must be honest with you. You’re already twenty-seven years old this year, and you’re of a marriageable age. If you really fancy Quinn Golding, you can definitely pursue her and find a way to marry her…”Homer snapped disdainfully, “Do you think that’s easy? She’s been claiming that she’s looking for her prince charming for years! She says she won’t marry anyone but him. Even if I were to pursue her, it’s unlikely for her to accept me. Why should I bother? Why not just kidnap her

    Finley tried his best to think of a way to persuade Homer into giving up, but it was futile. Homer was knee-deep in excitement. Unable to hide his ecstasy, he murmured in a shaky voice filled with desire, “Damn… I’ve been with so many women, but all of them combined won’t even be as good as Quinn Golding… If I can violate her, my life will be complete!”“Before, it’s always been low-born women with no class or status. To be honest, I’ve long grown tired of them. I want to change. I want someone more challenging! I want more stimulation!”Finley bit the bullet. He mustered all his courage and retorted, “Young Master Fox, Quinn Golding is indeed the best among all women. But the risk is far too great! I fear you’ll have a hard time getting out of the mess if things were exposed!”Homer didn’t share Finley’s concern. On the contrary, he was positively brimming with joy. “It’s exciting because of the risk!”To further prove his point, he said, “Finley, all walks of life have their own

    However, Finley knew that it wouldn’t do him any good to take the initiative to make such a request. After all, he was just a person who specialized in getting the dirty job done for Homer. Most of the time, Homer would keep a certain distance from Finley in his everyday life. Fortunately, Homer’s mind right now was filled with thoughts of getting Quinn. Upon discovering that Finley was coming to New York, he naturally wanted Finley to stay in his house so that they could discuss their plans properly.Finley agreed without hesitation. “Okay. Since that’s the case, I’ll fly over when I’m ready.”Homer was ecstatic. “Let me know before you take off. I’ll get my butler to pick you up at the airport.”“Alright, Young Master Fox. Thanks for the trouble!”Finley thanked Homer and hung up. After that, he called for his assistant and instructed, “Tell the crew to get ready. I’m going to New York.”His assistant pointed at Franco’s corpse and asked in a low voice, “Young Master… If we he

    Finley was blissfully unaware of the fact that he had been exposed.On the way to the airport, he kept telling his assistant to make sure to do a good job in dealing with the Italian mafia’s family members, and to make sure nothing would go wrong in Seattle.The assistant took down notes one by one, and asked, “Young Master, should we send someone to Vancouver to investigate the girls from last night? Perhaps the mastermind has something to do with them.”“No! Don’t do that!” Finley refused without hesitation. “The other party can kidnap more than eight hundred gang members in Vancouver with ease. If we dare to return there to look into his strength, it’s no better than courting our own deaths! They’ve probably set up a trap and are waiting for us. My priority as of this moment is to avoid any confrontation, so we won’t run into any more trouble.”The assistant nodded and replied respectfully, “I got it, Young Master.”Finley added, “Stop all businesses in that area starting from

    Charlie nodded and said, “I’ll arrange for someone to send you all to Aurous Hill when I’m finished with my business. All of your clothing, food and accommodation will be sent to Aurous Hill in advance.”Stephanie interrupted with a timely reminder. “Brother Charlie, please don’t forget about Claudia. She’s returning to Aurous Hill to study…”Charlie smiled. “Don’t worry. I won’t forget it.”After that, Charlie bade goodbye to the three before making his way to the airport to take a plane to Providence.Before taking off, Charlie called Claire to ask how she was doing in Providence. Claire said that she was fine, and then asked worriedly, “Honey, what about Stephanie? Has her problem been solved?” Charlie laughed, touched by her kindness. “It’s done. Some gangsters wanted to hurt her. Her friend found out and requested my help. I’ve solved everything, so Stephanie’s no longer in danger. Don’t worry.”Claire heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s great. That’s really great! I didn’t s

    Bitterness swelled in Elaine's heart as she really didn't think that Matilda was doing so well for herself.The fact that Matilda was worth millions alone made her far superior.At the same time, she was also rejoicing that she had never actually met Matilda. If Matilda asked how she was doing directly, how would she respond?In the end, Matilda was no Hannah Queen.Elaine would actually feel accomplished if she compared herself to Hannah.On the other hand, Matilda eclipsed Elaine in every way—she was more beautiful, kind, smart, and knowledgeable. Even her figure left Elaine dead in the water!It was as pointless as comparing a hen to a peacock!Whenever she thought of her, she could comfort herself that she had stolen her man even if she couldn't measure up in any way.But now, Jacob was completely insignificant to Matilda while Elaine still treated Jacob like a trophy.Even as a sense of inferiority seized her, Charlie sighed. "Come on, you should understand where Jacob is

    "Exactly!"Charlie agreed, striking the metal while it was hot. "To be honest, the years Matilda spent in the States would be wasted if she was actually still interested!" "She's a Wall Street veteran who'd definitely have met so many successful men! Why would she be interested in a loser like Jacbo Wilson? It's not like she returned from the States after thirty years to help the poor, don't you agree?"Charlie then finished with a sigh. "The way I see it? You're the only one who'd be interested in him."Jacob heard that from behind the wall and was left absolutely fuming and humiliated.He was the only one who knew that Matilda had come back for him—even if she was worth millions now.However, he just didn't have the spine to divorce Elaine and get together with Matilda.He presumed that it was no rush and that he could just give Elaine the silent treatment—who knew, she might just give in and ask for a divorce herself, and then, he would have no issues getting together with M

    "Her real lover?!" Elaine exclaimed in shock. "What are you talking about?"Charlie put on a serious face as she said, "Matilda came back to Oskia for her one true love, who is now her fiance. His name is Yolden Hart, a top economist who's now a lecturer at Aurous Hill University, who was invited all the way from the States. He's a professional manager and used to work in Wall Street, so he'd be qualified to be a CEO in any Fortune 500 company…""Professional manager?" Elaine pouted. "That still means he's a wage slave!"Charlie laughed. "Don't underestimate professional managers now. Just look at Apple Inc.'s CEO—the man earns around a hundred million USD per year, and that's over seven hundred million in Oskian dollars!"Elaine was left gaping, unable to imagine how a wage slave could earn so much.At the same time, Charlie continued, "To be fair, Professor Hart wouldn't earn that much, but 50 million per year is still no sweat for him. Do you get the amount of money we're talki

    Elaine appeared taken aback, and she promptly demanded, "You've met Matilda too?!"It was only then that Claire realized she had let the cat out of the bag, and she suddenly didn't know what to say. "Oh… Uh… Mom… I, uh… didn't?"Nonetheless, Elaine was suddenly pressing her menacingly, "If you've never met her, how would you know she's a serious person?!"As Claire stayed silent, Elaine broke down in tears. "No… You're lying to me too! Aren't you?!"While Claire was left at a loss of how she should salvage this mess, Charlie suddenly entered and said, "Claire didn't—but I did.""What?!" Elaine was left staring at Charlie, stunned.Still, she soon demanded, "Y-You've met Matilda?! Did Jacob take you with him to see her?""Yes," Charlie admitted, nodding.Elaine snapped right then, and she bellowed, "Then why didn't you tell me?! To think that I've always done right by you, treating you like my own son, but you wouldn't tell me that Jacob is cheating on me! Y-You disappoint me!"

    Jacob certainly left Charlie speechless—the man might get kicked out of the house, but he was more worried about his car.Sighing in exasperation, he told Jacob, "Look, if it fails, I won't be able to get you a nice place, let alone leave the Cullinan with you."Jacob blurted out, "But why—""Don't forget—I'm still living in this house even if you're gone!" Charlie explained, his expression dead serious. "If I let you have a nice place and the Cullinan, God knows how terrible a grudge your wife would hold against me. I need to have a sense of self-preservation too!""If I got you a rundown apartment, I could at least defend myself even if she gets upset about that. I mean, I can't let you sleep in the streets, can I? Claire and I would be guilty of abandoning our elders."Seeing the serious look on Charlie's face, Jacob breathed a long sigh as he clapped him on the shoulder, groaning mournfully, "Oh, I get it. I wouldn't want to upset Elaine if I were in your shoes too…"Charlie

    Charlie sighed. "I told you it'd blow up, Dad, but you had to doubt me.""I wasn't doubting you," Jacob promptly defended himself. "I thought I might catch a lucky break—"Charlie cut him short, "Fair enough. Then, how are you going to handle this? I can try to stop Mom from going to that wedding and prevent her from getting in the hall even if she went, but what's going to happen to the both of you? Do you want a divorce or do you want to stay with her?"The light in Jacob's faded as he shrugged and sighed. "If I could divorce her, I would've—and I would be living happily with Matilda now. What company would I have if I did it now? Do you think Elaine would let me stay in Thompson First, with that attitude of hers?""In the end, I'd be chased out without a place to stay, and I can't suffer the humiliation of moving back with my mom and brother, can I? Hell, they might not even take me back!""So, that's a no?" Charlie pressed.Jacob smiled wryly. "At my age, even if I could, I w

    Hearing that Elaine was threatening suicide, Claire exclaimed urgently, "Take me to her now!"The traffic police officer quickly nodded. "Come on!"As the traffic police officer quickly led Claire to Elaine, Charlie arrived just then and gave chase after leaving the luggage by the entrance.Stopping them, he asked, "Excuse me, officer—where's the gentleman who came with Madam Parker? May I see him?""And who are you?" The traffic police officer asked."I'm his son-in-law," Charlier replied. "I was thinking that while my wife talks to her mom, I can talk to my father-in-law, make peace, and take them both home.""Oh, that'd be great!"The traffic police officer exclaimed and quickly beckoned at a colleague, "Come over. Take this gentleman to Jacob Wilson!""Okay!" The other traffic police officer was also quite enthusiastic.Charlie entered the room where Jacob was first, immediately seeing a disfigured Jacob taking deep puffs of his cigarette.Another traffic police officer w

    Charlie frowned in thought for a while, before saying, "Well, there is a plan, but I can't vouch for the chances. I also need you to cooperate with me and not let anything slip, or everything will go to waste. Can you do that?""I can!" Claire nodded, determined, before quickly asking, "So? What's the plan?""Well, it's not specific," Charlie replied. "We just have to improvise as we go along. Let's just head in for now!"-They left the airport and took a cab to the traffic police's headquarters. Just as she entered, they saw their Cullinan parked outside.Charlie sent Claire in first while he carried her luggage before following.Meanwhile, Elaine was wailing in her room, "I've been married to him for years! Suffering so much pain and humiliation, only for him to hook up with an old flame behind my back! Is it wrong if I struck out?"The traffic police officer was on the verge of a breakdown, but he still said patiently, "Ma'am, I've told you many times—what he did was wrong

    Claire wasn't all that experienced in love and hence didn't know how a person caught in a love triangle would think or why they would experience such terrible mood swings.Still, Charlie's explanation gave her a general idea, and she sighed, "Actually, Dad looked really bad when Matilda came back. He was so obsessed with her that he didn't care if Mom was alive—even bringing her home for dinner. I'd be seething if I was Mom."Charlie sighed in exasperation. "Well, let's not loiter about. Let's go to the traffic police station.""Yeah!" Claire nodded, before holding his arm, "If they're there, that means they're safe, and they won't be fighting with those officers around. So, let's not head over so quickly."Charlie raised a brow. "What are you getting at?"Claire sighed, clearly troubled. "We have to think—how are we going to alleviate this crisis? If it's really as you say and Mom has mostly guessed it right, this fight might just be the start. At best, that fight on the highway
