As soon as the voice resonated into Don Albert’s ear, his brain processed the information rapidly and registered the voice as Isaac Cameron, the man who he had been trying to curry favor with! Did he just say that he had offended his young master?
Could it be this man in front of him?! Moreover, Isaac knew that there were twenty-five members in his whole family. Did he already research his background thoroughly? Isaac Cameron was the spokesperson of the Smith family in Aurous Hill! The Smith family’s influence and power are so enormous and strong that destroying him would be as easy as stomping an ant!
Albert’s legs went jelly and he trembled in fear as he listened to Isaac’s angry voice. He stuttered, “Mr. Cameron, please calm down. I… I didn’t know, it was just a misunderstanding, the young master and I..”
“Shut up!” Isaac shouted, “Our Young Master’s identity is highly confidential. If you leak it out even a little, I swear I’ll wipe you and your family clean from the world!”
Albert’s body shook vigorously, shaking more severely than a patient with Parkinson’s. He hurriedly said,“I’m sorry, Mr. Cameron, I’m terribly sorry! I’ll handle it accordingly..”
Mr. Cameron alone was enough for him to shit his pants, let alone the Smith family in Eastcliff! They were godlike existence that was so far beyond his level he could only look up to from afar… But now, he had the nerve to directly offend the young master of the Smith family!
When the thought ran through his mind, Albert focused his gaze on Joe and stuttered in a panic, “Mr. Smith, I’m so sorry, I didn’t know that she’s your mother-in-law! It’s my mistake, I’m so sorry! Please forgive me!”
Immediately after, his legs turned to jelly and knelt in front of Joe. Everyone present gaping in extreme shock as they watched Don Albert kneel down before Joe and apologize to him. Even Mr. White was a piece of garbage in Albert’s eyes, but this young man could make the almighty Don Albert kneel before him. Who was he, really? Albert’s men were equally shocked!
Don Albert was the king of the underworld! What background did the young man have that could make Don Albert get down on his knees?! By the way, Joe didn’t intend to take Albert’s life. His men were hitting his mother-in-law, not him. Besides, honestly speaking, Joe felt that watching his mother-in-law getting her ass kicked was so freaking awesome!
Thus, he said to Albert, “I can forgive you, but you have to return every penny of the money that you scammed her, including the interest!” Albert sucked in a quick breath, surprised that Joe would forgive him. He hurriedly bowed his head and blurred,
“Don’t worry, I’ll do it right away!”
Next, he turned to Axel and shouted, “What are you still standing here for? Move! Hurry and get it done! I’ll break your leg if you don’t start moving!”
Elaine was stunned as she watched the whole scene unfold in front of her eyes. Was that her hopeless son-in-law? Did He literally just make the infamous Don Albert kneel to him? For an instant, Elaine felt that Joe had suddenly become bigger and stronger than he used to be. In fact, he became unpredictable. Kevin, who had suffered several slaps, was also dumbfounded.
Wasn’t Joe the notorious loser in the family? How did he make Don Albert so afraid of him?
At this moment, Axel sprinted towards them carrying a black suitcase, his face as pale as a ghost. He went to Elaine and said nervously, “Auntie, your capital fund is 1.3 million, and the dividend we promised you is two hundred thousand dollars, making up a total of 1.5 million dollars. Here is two million, the extra five hundred thousand dollars is a token of apology from us. Please accept it…”
Elaine was dumbstruck and she froze like a statue! Since when did her useless son-in-law have such an amazing influence? Not only did she get her money back including the dividends, but on top of that, they were giving her an extra five hundred thousand!
Elaine was over the moon and a little disbelieving when she heard Axel’s statement. Her money had increased from 1.3 million to two million! She asked, astonished, “Are you sure? Are you really giving me two million?”
Axel nodded hurriedly. “Of course! It’s all yours!”
“Wow, that’s wonderful!” Elaine shrieked in excitement.
Seeing Elaine not only getting back her money, but also the additional five hundred thousand dollars, the rest of the elders were tiptoeing in jittery. They felt that since Elaine’s money was refunded, they should also receive the same treatment as well, shouldn’t they? Hence, some of them started, “Mr. Jordan, what about our money?”
Axel turned to Albert, exasperated. Albert was heavyhearted to surrender all the money he had pocketed, but he was up against the Smith family who he couldn’t afford to pick a fight with-he might even lose his life. Hence, he blurted, “Just refund, refund them all! For Mr. Smith’s sake, they’ll get back their capital and the dividends!” The crowd cheered delightfully.
Suddenly, Joe’s cold voice sounded. “Don Albert, what do you mean by ‘for my sake’? I have nothing to do with these people.
Are you trying to blackmail me?
Albert was taken aback. “Mr. Smith, what do you mean? I’m sorry, I don’t get it…”‘
“What I mean is that these people’s money has nothing to do with me. It’s totally up to you if you want to return their money, but if you dare say something like returning their money for my sake, don’t blame me for falling out on you right now!”
These old coots had been taking Elaine’s side and taunting him just now, so why would he help them ask for their money now?
On the contrary, not only would he not help them get their money back, but it was also a reminder to Albert that if he dared to give these seniors their money back, he was going up against his will! Of course, Albert read his mind. He nodded earnestly and said, “Okay, Mr. Smith, I understand!”
He turned to Axel and stated, “Mr. Smith and his mother-in-law are our only concern. Ignore the rest of them!”
“Huh!?’” The seniors who were still in an ecstatic mode earlier suddenly gaped and stunned in shock. Some started to wail and cry loudly. Some even begged for Joe’s mercy, but he turned a deaf ear to them. Didn’t any of these rude seniors remember how they had insulted him just now? How dare they come to beg for his help now that they witnessed how respectful Don Albert was towards him?
“Go to hell, all of you!” Seeing the noisy seniors pestering Joe, Albert screamed indignantly, “Shut the fuck up! All of you! Who the hell dares to say one more word and irritate Mr. Smith, I’ll kill them!” Suddenly, the noise quieted down and the seniors were as quiet as a church mouse. Albert looked at the shocked Kevin and asked, “Mr. Smith, is this Mr. White your friend?”
