Chapter 34: Shutting out the Smith Family
Chapter 34: Shutting out the Smith Family
Oliver looked at Kurt in astonishment. He said shakily, "You, you are Kurt Thomas?"
Kurt Thomas, the richest man in Heufville, a man who had power over the world!
Even the Miller family would treat such a big shot with care and dared not offend him easily.
As for the Smith family, they weren't even qualified to see Kurt.
Now Kurt should appear in Catherine's shabby rented house, which was surprising. Everyone including Oliver were taken aback and couldn't believe their eyes.
"I am. Did you say that my money is of unknown source?" Kurt stared at Oliver.
"No, I didn't." Oliver said shakily. Nodding and bowing, he dared not contradict.
Kurt had an imposing manner that made all of them feel a strong pressure.
The next second, Oliver thought that he figured it out.
He recalled when Richard hired someone disguised as Charles to frighten the Miller family.
'Can this Kurt be another imposter hired by Richard?'
'That's right. He's probably an imposter. How's it possible that Kurt, the richest man in Heufville, comes to such a dilapidated rented house?'
Oliver restored his arrogance before at the thought.
He stood up straight and looked at Kurt with disdain. "It's a pretty good act, but I've seen through your scheme! It's impossible for me to fall for the same trick again."
"Is this another act?"
"It seems so. How can two losers like Richard and Catherine get to know Kurt, the richest man?"
"They're killing me! Addicted to acting!"
The others from the Smith family were all laughing and taunting.
"Are you taunting me?" Kurt's expression turned cold.
He got angry for being ignored by a herd of bugs in front of his boss.
"Yes, I am taunting you. You really think of yourself as the richest person? The thirty million yuan is a prop that is part of your act, isn't it?" Oliver burst into a loud guffaw and taunted.
"Prop?" Jane's expression changed. She hastened to pick up the money to examine.
Kurt's expression was even grimmer. 'These men are getting themselves killed for behaving so presumptuously!'
He immediately took out his mobile phone and made a call. "Send my order: from now on, stop all cooperation with the Smith family in Evento. Do whatever it takes to shut out the Smith family!"
"Got it, I'll get it done right away!" His secretary's voice came through the phone.
Seeing this, Oliver, Duke and the other Smiths burst into laughter.
With a cold expression, Oliver looked at Richard as if watching a clown. He taunted, "Richard, it's a real pity that you are not a director! Each of your actors is more qualified than the last!"
Then he looked at Kurt and said coldly, "My friend, your acting is very good. You almost frightened me. Your skin mask is pretty good. Where did you buy it?"
"Stopping cooperating with me—do you really think you are Kurt? And shutting out we Smith family— you might have overestimated yourself a bit. The Smith family has the support from the Miller family. How will you shut us out?"
"Stop acting. Come on, let me see your skin mask."
As he spoke, He tried to rip Kurt's face.
Kurt's look was colder. "You're digging your own grave!"
"Still pretending in front of me, right? Since you've helped Richard and Catherine, I will get you skinned today!" Oliver's expression turned grim.
Seeing Oliver so arrogant, Richard shook his head helplessly.
'These short-sighted men are really presumptuous. This time they are really doomed.'
As soon as he finished speaking, Oliver got a phone call.
The voices of sneer went silent.
Looking at Kurt, who had an icy look, Oliver smiled sarcastically, "I'll even with you later."
After that, he answered the phone, "I'm busy. What's the matter? Why such a rush?"
"Boss, it's urgent. The KT Group just cut off everything with us. All of our loans from banks have been stopped, and the accounts of our family business have been frozen." Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
An anxious voice came through the phone, "The, the Smith family ... is bankrupt!"
Oliver's mobile phone dropped on the ground. He was struck dumb.
