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 Frankly, he could just call Isaac Of Shangri-La and the problem would be solved immediately. After all, he was the Smith family’s representative in Aurous Hill. All the businessmen and the people from the good and bad sides had to give him away due to his power. However, his mother-in-law is annoyingly abominable. Since she believed in Kevin, then Kevin should take the stage and do whatever he planned to do! 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!”
Someone shrieked in surprise, Wow, Mr. White? Elaine, you really are awesome to have found such a powerful man!”
“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!”
Elaine glared at Joe indisdain and said coldly, “This loser will be kicked out of our family in no time!”
Joe didn’t say a word. He was waiting for Kevin to come and see how disastrous he was going to end up. 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 is lucky enough to have him as their son-in-law!”
“Yes! If my daughter can marry him, I can die in peace!”
“Phew, stop dreaming! Even if you are dead, he will not like your daughter!”
As soon as Elaine saw him, she rushed to his side and said earnestly, “Hey, Kevin, you’re here finally! I was so anxious waiting for you!”
Indeed, it was Kevin.
Kevin said with a smile, “Auntie, I’m very sorry to have kept you waiting!”
“Oh no, Kevin, you’re too kind. I think it had taken you only ten minutes to get here, you came so fast!”
“As soon as I heard that you’re in trouble, I drove over quickly. I even ran some red lights on the way here.”
Elaine looked very smug, but asked with concern, “Will it get you into trouble for running the red lights?”
“No,” Kevin said indifferently, “The guys in the traffic department are all my acquaintances. A phone call is all I need to settle the traffic tickets.”
Kevin cleared his throat and started again, “Anyway, back to your business. How much have you been scammed out of in total?”
Elaine sighed dejectedly. “More than one million dollars. They promised that I can get two hundred thousand dollars in dividends this month, but now, I can’t even get the capital fund back!”
Kevin nodded and said firmly, “Okay, don’t worry, leave it to me. I’ll definitely help you get all the money back.”
Then, he saw Joe standing behind Elaine and his face darkened slightly. He didn’t expect to see the loser here. Ever since he met Claire, he had the urge to get on intimate terms with her. The desire grew stronger when he heard from Gerald that she might still be a virgin. Therefore, he couldn’t help but sneer when he saw the loser husband of Claire’s.
He managed a deliberate smirk and said, “Hey, Joe, I didn’t know you were here too. Do you have a way to help Aunt get back the money? Do you want to give it a try first? I don’t want you to blame me for stealing your spotlight.”
Elaine interjected hastily, “Oh stop the nonsense, what can he do, anyway? The most he can help with is to open his mouth and chant the slogans! Kevin leave him alone.”
Kevin nodded and mocked, “Since Joe is not capable of helping you, let me try!”
Joe smiled slightly and said half-heartedly, “Good luck, Mr. White.”
Kevin laughed disdainfully. Atthis time, the elders surrounded Elaine and said, “Elaine, we’re all your friends. Could you ask this handsome man to help us too, please? It’s our hard-earned money!”
Elaine said arrogantly, “Oh, it’s not up to me to say. Kevin is here to help me, he doesn’t know any of you.”
The crowd turned to Kevin and started begging him. “Mr. White, please be merciful, please help us!”
Kevin found the crowd annoying, but he could see that Elaine was a cheap and greedy person, so he said with a casual smile,
“Since you are Auntie Elaine’s friends, of course I can help you.”
Everyone was thrilled to hear him say that. However, Kevin continued in a pompous voice, “But I’m helping you because of Auntie Elaine. So, for the money I get back for you, you must pay Auntie Elaine a 10% commission. Is it acceptable?”
The crowd cheered, “No problem! It’s much better to get 90% of our money back than to get nothing at all!”
Elaine was over the moon upon hearing that. The amount of money that these friends were scammed added up to tens of millions. If Kevin could get the money back, she would earn a million dollars from the commission alone!
Just as Elaine was extremely thrilled, Kevin announced loudly, “Uncles and aunties, relax, I’ll go speak to them now. Please wait for my good news!”
Elaine felt that with Kevin’s Presence here, they were the most invincible of them all, so she blurted excitedly, “Kevin, I’ll go with you!”
Joe quickly interjected, “Mom, I think you’d better stay away from it. If Kevin can’t solve the problem, you might get into trouble!”
“Bah!” Elaine growled angrily. “How dare you doubt Kevin’s abilities, you loser?!”
The other seniors expected that Kevin could help them get back their money. Now that Joe was singing a different tune, they were irked and irritated by him.
Facing the resentful glare and murmur, Joe said flatly, “Mom, it’s better for you to wait here. It’s best to be a bystander.”
Elaine found his voice disgusting and she immediately cursed, “Shut your stinky mouth! This is not a place for you to speak!”
Pompousness and arrogance were written all over Kevin’s face. He sneered sarcastically. “You’re not good at anything but you’re so easily jealous. Do you think I’m like you, a loser who just stands here and chants?”
Seeing that his mother-in-law wouldn’t listen to him, Joe shrugged and said lightly, “Okay then, let’s wait for your good news, Mr. White.”
