00:00:05 Episode 1, The Richest Delivery Boy.
00:00:10 On a hot afternoon, the coffee shop on the corner of 4th Street in Sacramento was
00:00:14 buzzing with customers.
00:00:16 Hazelnut latte for Mr. Pierce, the female barista behind the counter shouted.
00:00:21 Here's your change, Mr. Pierce, said the barista, jingling and clanking the coins.
00:00:26 Thank you, miss, said the old man dressed in a black three-piece suit.
00:00:31 I'm here looking for Kevin.
00:00:33 I suppose he works here?
00:00:36 Kevin, someone at the counter for you, the lady barista shouted.
00:00:40 A young man dressed in his blue work clothes approached the cash counter.
00:00:45 Yes, Nina, who is it?
00:00:48 Mr. Pierce, Kevin is here,
00:00:50 Nina told Pierce as he turned towards Kevin standing right behind him.
00:00:56 Why are you here?
00:00:57 A shocked Kevin said, let's go out and talk.
00:01:01 Kevin opened the glass door of the cafe and asked Pierce in a stern voice,
00:01:05 what do you want?
00:01:07 I want you to come back, Mr. Bennett, said Bob Pierce.
00:01:11 You want me to return to the Bennett family?
00:01:13 Kevin couldn't believe the audacity Bob Pierce had to ask him this.
00:01:17 The unexpected conversation revealed Kevin's menacingly cold expression.
00:01:23 Yes, the old man clearly stated that the assets worth $300 million of the Bennett
00:01:28 family will all be placed under your control as long as you return to the family.
00:01:34 Bob spoke with the utmost respect towards Kevin Bennett.
00:01:37 $300 million?
00:01:40 Kevin burst into appeal of self-deprecating laughter before heaving a sigh.
00:01:46 The Bennett family does have a lot of money to spare, don't they, Bob?
00:01:50 Seeming to have noticed the ridicule in Kevin's words,
00:01:54 the old Bob Pierce asked helplessly, young man,
00:01:57 could you possibly still be brooding over the incident that took place three years
00:02:01 ago?
00:02:02 Taking Kevin's silence as an affirmation, Bob forced out a bitter smile and
00:02:07 continued, Kevin, the old man may have indeed been in the wrong during
00:02:11 the incident three years ago.
00:02:13 Ever since then, however, he's also paid a huge price for that matter.
00:02:17 Why don't you give him a second chance?
00:02:21 A second chance?
00:02:23 Kevin sneered with a hint of ridicule.
00:02:25 After all, why should Harvey Bennett get a second chance when he never even gave
00:02:30 Kevin's mother that exact option?
00:02:31 Having witnessed the death of his mother with his own eyes three years ago,
00:02:37 Kevin vowed never to extinguish the burning flame of rage within his heart.
00:02:42 Although the Bennett family possessed wealth and abundance,
00:02:46 Harvey Bennett refused to pay even a minuscule fraction of that wealth
00:02:51 to treat his mother's illness.
00:02:53 Despite begging like a dog in front of that despicable fiend,
00:02:57 he remained unfazed and held no intentions of saving his mother.
00:03:00 Even then, Harvey sought a second chance?
00:03:05 Thinking back to that incident, Kevin stood his ground and
00:03:09 shook his head with unspeakable ridicule.
00:03:12 Could it be that you intend to work as a waiter and
00:03:15 delivery boy for your entire life?
00:03:18 Bob Pierce sighed and asked after taking notice of Kevin's undying resolve.
00:03:23 During these past three years, after leaving the Bennett family,
00:03:26 Kevin married into the Wright family as a son-in-law.
00:03:29 He lowered his status greatly compared to his original life in the Bennett family.
00:03:34 Still, he had even been ostracized and
00:03:36 forced to endure the constant ridicule of the Wright family.
00:03:39 I would rather remain as a waiter, delivery man, or hell,
00:03:44 even a janitor, than give up my life entirely, Kevin stated with a faint smile.
00:03:49 Bob Pierce replied with a slightly twisted expression.
00:03:53 Young man, what are you trying to say?
00:03:56 Nothing much, Kevin replied as he shook his head.
00:04:00 Mr. Pierce, you may go back now.
00:04:03 Tell Harvey and the entire Bennett family that I will return sooner or later.
00:04:08 However, I will be doing so for another reason, not because of the wealth.
00:04:14 Bob stood petrified in shock as he gazed at Kevin's leaving figure before
00:04:18 revealing a conflicted expression.
00:04:20 Along the way, Kevin kept pondering over his decision.
00:04:23 Ever since he was born,
00:04:25 he had been living a comfortable life in the Bennett family.
00:04:28 Due to his identity as an illegitimate child, however, he had always been looked
00:04:32 down on and disregarded by the family members.
00:04:35 Even the family servants would not hesitate to scold and bully him.
00:04:38 Kevin originally thought he would keep living as a maggot in the Bennett family
00:04:42 until he died.
00:04:44 Only until his mother fell ill three years ago did he truly understand that
00:04:48 the bastards of the family held no intentions of giving him the chance to be
00:04:51 that very maggot.
00:04:52 On a certain night, when Kevin's mother fell extremely sick, he knelt in front of
00:04:57 the entire family like a dog and pleaded with them to save his mother.
00:05:01 However, no one helped mother and son.
00:05:05 Instead, everyone turned a blind eye to his pleading words.
00:05:10 In the end, his mother passed away from her illness.
00:05:12 Witnessing the death of his mother traumatized him for
00:05:17 the rest of his childhood days.
00:05:18 At that time, he truly understood his place within the Bennett family.
00:05:23 From the perspectives of the members of the family, the pair of mother and
00:05:26 son were nothing but mere insects that held little to no value.
00:05:31 They did not even consider them humans.
00:05:33 After his mother's demise, Kevin decided to part ways with the Bennett family.
00:05:39 On that day, Kevin swore that he would return to the same family one day and
00:05:44 use absolute power to make every Bennett kneel in front of the mother's grave to
00:05:48 repent.
00:05:49 His resolve, however, was nothing but mere words stated by a young child.
00:05:54 On the second day after leaving the Bennett family, Kevin found himself in
00:05:59 a predicament as he was chased by a group of thugs with intentions to murder him.
00:06:03 If he had not run into Alan Wright by pure coincidence,
00:06:06 he would have already been mutilated and turned into a corpse.
00:06:09 At that point, it was clear to him that Bennett family sent the thugs.
00:06:14 Kevin Bennett was nothing but a mere ant before the gorilla known as
00:06:18 the Bennett family.
00:06:18 After becoming the son-in-law of the Wright family,
00:06:22 Kevin's days gradually began to calm down.
00:06:24 Even though he still had to endure the family's mocking gazes,
00:06:28 he managed to survive and live on as a human being.
00:06:31 While he may have wished to live in peace for the rest of his life,
00:06:35 the rain that withered into a small drizzle began pouring once more.
00:06:40 Despite their previous failed attempts at murdering him,
00:06:42 the Bennett family had come to find him again.
00:06:44 To his utmost surprise, the Bennett family offered him the chance
00:06:48 to inherit the wealth and become a multi-billionaire.
00:06:50 However, in the third generation of the great Bennett family,
00:06:55 more than 100 adult males had the qualifications to inherit the throne.
00:06:59 Thus, it would be extremely difficult for
00:07:02 an illegitimate child to inherit the Bennett family.
00:07:05 No matter how much support he would gather,
00:07:07 this was, without a doubt, a plot created against him.
00:07:11 After all, how could someone as despised as him in the past
00:07:15 suddenly be worthy of inheriting billions?
00:07:18 As the saying goes, an opportunity that sounds too good to be true
00:07:21 would most likely be too good to be true.
00:07:23 Kevin, just as Kevin was deep in thought, a beautiful woman wearing a white dress
00:07:30 suddenly called out his name from a distance.
00:07:33 In addition to her delicate features, she also possessed a tall yet slim figure.
00:07:37 While her body lingered with a graceful temperament,
00:07:40 she stood in the limelight amid the bustling city, looking breathtaking.
00:07:44 That woman was Kevin's wife, Claire Wright.
00:07:47 Claire, what's wrong?
00:07:49 After meeting up with Claire, a gentle smile appeared on Kevin's face.
00:07:54 No matter what he had gone through, his mood would, without a doubt,
00:07:58 improve as long as Claire existed in his presence.
00:08:01 In contrast to his bright smile, Claire revealed a rather cold expression.
00:08:06 She only glanced at Kevin before turning around and saying indifferently,
00:08:09 "Follow me to my aunt's house.
00:08:11 It's Thanksgiving."
00:08:13 "Thanksgiving?"
00:08:14 Kevin uttered with his mouth wide open.
00:08:16 He recalls that Claire had notified him yesterday about the Thanksgiving ceremony.
00:08:21 During that ceremony, it was a tradition for everyone in the Wright family to come together.
00:08:25 However, Kevin lowered his head and looked at his yellow clothes.
00:08:30 He could not help but feel awkward as he had just finished delivering the takeout.
00:08:34 Since his schedule was interrupted by the sudden visit of Bob Pierce,
00:08:37 he did not have the time to change his clothes.
00:08:40 Since Thanksgiving was an important event for the family,
00:08:43 he naturally could not participate in such shabby clothes.
00:08:46 "Claire, can you wait for me while I go home to change?"
00:08:49 Kevin said in embarrassment.
00:08:51 Claire replied with a displeased expression.
00:08:54 "Why didn't you change beforehand?
00:08:56 Didn't I already tell you about the Thanksgiving gathering yesterday?"
00:08:59 "I forgot," Kevin muttered softly as he lowered his head like a child who made a mistake.
00:09:05 "Forget it. There's no need to change.
00:09:07 No one will be paying attention to you anyways.
00:09:08 We'll just have to go straight to my aunt's house.
00:09:10 Grandpa and the others are already waiting."
00:09:13 Claire said impatiently.
00:09:14 The longer she talked with Kevin,
00:09:16 the more apparent the dissatisfaction in her words grew.
00:09:19 After all, how could Kevin forget about such an important matter?
00:09:24 "Fine," Kevin wanted to say something, but
00:09:27 since Claire had already turned around and left,
00:09:29 he had no other choice but to follow her.
00:09:32 The Wright family was indeed a widely known family in the region.
00:09:35 After all, one of their ancestors, Thomas Wright,
00:09:38 once held the position of chief advisor to the leader of the Native American tribe.
00:09:42 Ever since he founded the Wright family,
00:09:44 he had lived through more than 2,000 seasons of spring and autumn.
00:09:48 Even though the Wright family had declined significantly in recent years
00:09:52 and was no longer as grand as it once was during its former days,
00:09:55 no one dared to look down on them.
00:09:58 Thanksgiving always remained a time for the Wright family to gather together.
00:10:02 When they finally arrived at Claire's aunt's house,
00:10:04 Kevin noticed that several people had already been waiting inside.
00:10:08 Claire took a deep breath and walked towards the main gate.
00:10:12 Kevin followed behind, but
00:10:13 he was suddenly obstructed by a big hand when he was just about to enter.
00:10:17 "Stop right there!
00:10:19 Kevin!
00:10:20 What are you going in for?"
00:10:22 A young man suddenly shouted.
00:10:24 That young man was one of Claire's cousins, Jack Wright.
00:10:27 At that moment, he had his arms arrogantly crossed in front of his chest.
00:10:32 His sinister intention was written all over his face.
00:10:35 "Am I not going to be part of family celebrations?"
00:10:38 Kevin said as he looked at Jack in confusion.
00:10:41 Everyone in the Wright family was required to attend the feast.
00:10:44 Since he married into the Wright family,
00:10:46 he would naturally be considered a part of it.
00:10:49 "Family?" Jack sneered.
00:10:51 "Which family are you even talking about?
00:10:53 The ones inside are Wrights.
00:10:55 What does that have to do with you?"
00:10:57 His mocking words indicated how he saw Kevin as a mere outsider,
00:11:01 an unwanted attendee at the Thanksgiving dinner.
00:11:04 "Jack, what are you trying to say?"
00:11:06 Claire questioned with a cold expression.
00:11:09 Jack shifted his gaze towards Claire and said cunningly,
00:11:13 "Nothing much.
00:11:14 I was only telling him how outsiders and dogs are not allowed to enter the Wright family gathering."
00:11:19 If the things he said before were nothing but a mere taunt,
00:11:22 these words were certainly his attempt at humiliating Kevin Bennett.
00:11:26 Despite his ridicule,
00:11:28 Kevin, having suffered much greater humiliation than this before,
00:11:32 remained unfazed.
00:11:34 On the other hand,
00:11:35 Claire fumed with rising anger.
00:11:38 After all,
00:11:39 Kevin was her husband.
00:11:41 "Kevin is my husband.
00:11:43 What right do you have to say that he is an outsider?"
00:11:46 "Your husband?"
00:11:48 Jack laughed heartily as if he had heard some huge joke.
00:11:51 "Claire,
00:11:52 are you treating this trash as your husband?
00:11:55 You've been married for three years yet you haven't slept with him even once."
00:11:59 They had yet to sleep with one another despite being married for three years?
00:12:03 Hearing those words,
00:12:05 many members of the Wright family revealed mocking grins on their faces.
00:12:09 At that moment,
00:12:10 their gazes filled with ridicule,
00:12:12 shot toward Kevin like sharp daggers.
00:12:15 They could not comprehend how useless Kevin was
00:12:17 to have not slept a single time with a beauty such as Claire,
00:12:20 on the same bed,
00:12:21 even once during the past three years.
00:12:24 Could it be that something was wrong with that good-for-nothing brat?
00:12:28 Claire's expression changed drastically.
00:12:31 Indeed, she had been married to Kevin for three years,
00:12:34 and let alone going to bed,
00:12:36 she had not even held his hand even once.
00:12:39 She originally thought that only a small portion of people within the family knew about this matter,
00:12:44 but now,
00:12:45 it seems she could no longer hide that fact.
00:12:48 "Claire,
00:12:49 why don't you go in first?
00:12:50 I suddenly remember that I have a takeout to deliver."
00:12:54 Kevin muttered and forced out a soft laugh.
00:12:57 He could certainly face the ridicule of the Wright family people directly,
00:13:00 but he did not want his wife to face the same embarrassment from being associated with him.
00:13:05 Noticing how Kevin feigned his response,
00:13:08 Claire's heart ached for whatever reason.
00:13:11 Even after being married for three years,
00:13:13 she had never treated Kevin as her husband.
00:13:16 Kevin nevertheless
00:13:17 cared for her with his utmost abilities
00:13:20 despite being treated so coldly.
00:13:22 Whether it was a windy or rainy day,
00:13:25 Kevin would always pick her up at work on time.
00:13:28 Furthermore,
00:13:29 whenever he noticed that she was having a bad day,
00:13:31 he would always try his best to brighten up her day with his gentle smile.
00:13:35 When standing in her presence,
00:13:37 this man would constantly disregard everything thrown at him.
00:13:41 He would never show even a slight hint of anger,
00:13:44 and he would do whatever he could to cater to her every need.
00:13:47 As time went on,
00:13:48 she would naturally develop feelings for him.
00:13:51 As a layer of mist suddenly clouded Claire's eyes,
00:13:54 she could not help but wonder why Kevin would always treat her so well.
00:13:58 Kevin took a deep breath and turned around to leave.
00:14:01 He knew that if he continued to stand here,
00:14:03 he would only be asking for humiliation.
00:14:06 However,
00:14:07 just as he turned around and was about to walk away,
00:14:11 a resolute and decisive voice sounded out from behind him.
00:14:15 "The two of us will enter together!"
00:14:18 Kevin suddenly felt a soft and warm touch
00:14:22 grasping his hand upon hearing those words.
00:14:25 Episode 2
00:14:39 The Strange Car Accident
00:14:41 Upon hearing those words and witnessing her actions,
00:14:46 the members of the Bennett family stood petrified in shock.
00:14:50 Surely Claire did not have a fever.
00:14:52 Could her words mean that she won't be a part of Thanksgiving
00:14:55 if Kevin isn't allowed to enter?
00:14:58 "Claire, are you going to betray your family because of an outsider?"
00:15:02 Jack questioned with a look.
00:15:04 He certainly never expected Claire to utter such brazen words for Kevin's sake.
00:15:08 One had to know that Thanksgiving existed
00:15:10 as one of the most important activities in the Bennett family.
00:15:14 Every time the gathering took place,
00:15:16 every member of the Bennett family would have to be present.
00:15:19 This was an ironclad rule.
00:15:22 Thus, the descendants of the Bennett family
00:15:24 who refused to worship their ancestors during the ceremony
00:15:27 would be seen as unfilial.
00:15:29 If Claire refused to enter the house today
00:15:31 with Patriarch Logan Wright's temper,
00:15:34 he would most likely expel Claire from the Wright family.
00:15:37 It would be an understatement to describe this matter's nature
00:15:40 as being serious.
00:15:42 "Claire, you should go in.
00:15:44 Your cousin is right.
00:15:45 This is a traditional gathering only for Wright family.
00:15:48 I, who hold the surname Bennett,
00:15:50 certainly do not have the qualifications to enter the house."
00:15:54 Kevin stated as he held on to Claire by her shoulders.
00:15:57 Kevin knew very well that either Claire or Jack
00:15:59 had to back down from this matter.
00:16:01 Otherwise, both of them would have to face severe punishments.
00:16:05 But without a doubt,
00:16:06 Claire would receive a much heavier punishment.
00:16:09 Kevin naturally did not want to see Claire being expelled
00:16:12 from the Wright family because of him.
00:16:14 At this moment, he could only step forth and admit his defeat.
00:16:18 No matter how much humiliation he had to suffer,
00:16:21 no matter how much he would be looked down upon,
00:16:24 Kevin was willing to do whatever he could to protect Claire.
00:16:28 For her sake, he would even let go of all his dignity.
00:16:32 "Kevin," Claire muttered softly as her eyes turned red.
00:16:36 She naturally understood the reason why Kevin had to compromise.
00:16:40 However, the more he acted this way,
00:16:42 the more reluctant she became.
00:16:44 After all, she could not help but feel sorry for him.
00:16:48 "All right, I'm going to deliver the takeaway.
00:16:51 Come back early tonight," Kevin said as he faked his relaxed tone.
00:16:55 After speaking, he turned around and went his way without ever looking back.
00:17:00 Even though he was severely humiliated by Jack,
00:17:03 Kevin felt surprisingly calm.
00:17:05 He was even delighted.
00:17:07 After all, Claire had just stated how she would enter the gathering
00:17:10 only if he were also allowed to go in.
00:17:13 This was the first time that Claire chose to stand by his side in three years.
00:17:18 It was the first time she had ever stood up for him.
00:17:21 Kevin felt that all the grievances he suffered
00:17:23 were worth it upon hearing those words.
00:17:26 After delivering all the takeout,
00:17:28 Kevin returned home and began preparing dinner.
00:17:30 After leaving the Bennett family three years ago,
00:17:33 Kevin had to work on his culinary skills to gain Alan Wright's recognition.
00:17:37 Thus, he naturally became quite proficient with cooking.
00:17:40 According to Alan's words,
00:17:42 "Men who could cook were good men."
00:17:45 Kevin managed to leave behind a good impression of himself for Claire at that time.
00:17:49 Thus, with Alan's support,
00:17:50 he quickly became a son-in-law of the Wright family.
00:17:53 After his marriage, however,
00:17:55 many contradictions slowly broke out.
00:17:58 As time passed,
00:17:59 Alan's family business began deteriorating,
00:18:02 which naturally caused his value to drop drastically.
00:18:05 Since Kevin did not have any talent in business,
00:18:07 he could not help Alan whatsoever.
00:18:10 Thus, he resorted to delivering takeouts to make his living.
00:18:13 With the family business continuing to plummet,
00:18:16 Kevin's mother-in-law, Eileen,
00:18:18 naturally became more dissatisfied with him.
00:18:20 Thus, she's often scolded him for being useless
00:18:23 and felt that Kevin was unworthy of Claire.
00:18:26 From then on,
00:18:27 Kevin's life in the Wright family had only ever gone downhill.
00:18:31 Had it not been for Kevin,
00:18:33 Claire, with her unparalleled beauty,
00:18:35 would have no problem marrying into a rich family.
00:18:38 Kevin could not refute this as he was an illegitimate child.
00:18:42 After all, he had no money and had not received any education.
00:18:46 Therefore, he could not compare himself to Claire,
00:18:48 a beauty who had graduated from a famous university
00:18:51 and was even praised as the school beauty during those years.
00:18:54 The only thing he could give Claire was his earnest feelings.
00:18:58 However, in a society where the strong rule over the weak,
00:19:01 sincerity is often considered worthless.
00:19:04 After bringing the prepared dishes onto the table,
00:19:07 Kevin could not help but feel something was wrong.
00:19:10 Usually, Alan and his wife
00:19:13 would have already arrived back home at this hour.
00:19:15 Why were they so slow today?
00:19:17 At this moment, his phone suddenly rang.
00:19:21 "Kevin, Dad got into a car accident."
00:19:24 At that moment, Kevin's expression turned pale.
00:19:28 It was indeed Claire's voice on the phone.
00:19:30 However, the words that sounded out left him in utter disbelief.
00:19:35 "My father-in-law got into a car accident?"
00:19:39 "Claire, don't worry. I'm on my way to the hospital right now."
00:19:43 Kevin hurriedly comforted her before hanging up the phone.
00:19:47 He then immediately rode his electric bike to the hospital.
00:19:50 Kevin found that Claire was sitting on a bench,
00:19:52 crying silently when he arrived at the hospital.
00:19:55 On the other hand, his mother-in-law, Eileen,
00:19:58 walked back and forth in front of the emergency room.
00:20:01 "What's going on?" Kevin asked anxiously as he walked toward Claire.
00:20:06 Before Claire could say anything, Eileen walked over and slapped Kevin.
00:20:10 Kevin's face instantly seared with pain.
00:20:13 "You still dare to ask what's going on?"
00:20:16 Eileen shouted as her face rose with anger.
00:20:19 "You useless brat. Where did you go this afternoon?
00:20:22 Why did you not pick Alan up from work today?"
00:20:25 Kevin stood petrified in shock.
00:20:27 Normally, he would be the one to drive Alan home after work.
00:20:30 Alan once injured his leg and could not drive properly ever since.
00:20:34 Even after Alan was out of the Thanksgiving, he did not give Kevin a call.
00:20:39 Kevin thought that Alan would not be coming back today
00:20:41 and forgot about picking him up.
00:20:44 "Mom, I'm sorry," Kevin said apologetically.
00:20:47 Although the accident did not happen because of him,
00:20:50 he should have paid closer attention to Alan.
00:20:53 "Shove that sorry up your ass. Don't you dare say that word.
00:20:56 Is your apology doing any good to me? You worthless brat.
00:21:00 You married into my family for three years.
00:21:02 Yet you have accomplished absolutely nothing,"
00:21:05 Eileen said hysterically as her mood crumbled.
00:21:09 "If anything serious happens to Alan this time,
00:21:11 you better divorce my daughter and get the hell out of my family."
00:21:16 Eileen's voice echoed through the halls
00:21:18 and attracted the attention of many people.
00:21:20 But at this moment, Kevin could not care about losing face.
00:21:24 Alan was not only his father-in-law, but also his savior.
00:21:28 Kevin would not let anything happen to him.
00:21:30 "Who is the patient's family member?"
00:21:33 A doctor suddenly walked over and asked.
00:21:35 "I am. I am."
00:21:37 Eileen and Claire hurriedly went up to greet him.
00:21:40 "The patient is currently suffering from massive internal bleeding.
00:21:44 The condition is very serious and requires immediate surgery."
00:21:47 The middle-aged doctor said with a solemn tone.
00:21:50 Eileen heard those words, nearly fainted on the spot as her vision darkened.
00:21:54 Claire's expression turned bleach pale as if she had just seen a ghost.
00:21:58 "The surgery will be expensive,
00:22:00 and the patient is not covered under any insurance," the doctor said.
00:22:05 "Doctor, please arrange the surgery as soon as possible.
00:22:08 We can accept whatever the cost is," Kevin said.
00:22:11 "Alright, sign your name first.
00:22:14 After doing so, pay the surgery fee over at the payment office."
00:22:17 As the middle-aged doctor spoke, he took out an agreement.
00:22:21 Kevin then signed his name on it.
00:22:23 However, glancing through the surgery fees,
00:22:25 Kevin's pupils contracted in shock.
00:22:28 "Fifty thousand dollars?
00:22:30 This was an astronomical figure!
00:22:33 Which surgery in this world required fifty thousand dollars to perform?"
00:22:37 At that moment, Kevin felt that something was amiss.
00:22:41 With Alan's current financial situation,
00:22:43 not to mention fifty thousand dollars,
00:22:46 even five hundred dollars would be a strain on him.
00:22:49 Could they have made a mistake in their calculation for the surgery fee?
00:22:52 Kevin arrived at the payment office and hoped for that possibility.
00:22:56 But after asking at the payment office,
00:22:58 the staff confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the surgery fee.
00:23:03 "Fifty thousand dollars!"
00:23:05 Kevin's heart sank immediately.
00:23:08 Since he worked as a takeout delivery man,
00:23:10 he would only be paid twelve hundred dollars.
00:23:12 Thus, he never imagined he would have to spend fifty thousand dollars all at once.
00:23:18 Furthermore, Claire's current condition was extremely serious.
00:23:22 It was already too late to transfer him to another hospital.
00:23:26 Where would he even go to find the money?
00:23:28 Even if he asked for help from someone,
00:23:30 would they even lend such a ridiculous amount to him?
00:23:33 Kevin was getting more and more frustrated by the second.
00:23:37 Never had he felt that money was so important.
00:23:40 "Young man!"
00:23:41 A familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
00:23:44 Kevin immediately turned around,
00:23:46 only to meet the gaze of Bob Pierce,
00:23:48 who was looking at him with a smile.
00:23:50 In that split second,
00:23:52 Kevin finally pieced the puzzle together.
00:23:55 "You were the one responsible!"
00:23:57 Kevin shouted as he clenched his fists in anger.
00:24:00 At this moment,
00:24:02 even an idiot would be able to discern
00:24:04 that Bob was the one responsible for this accident.
00:24:07 The sudden car accident,
00:24:08 the absurd surgery fee of fifty thousand dollars,
00:24:12 every step was meticulously calculated.
00:24:14 This was all to make him return to the Bennett family.
00:24:18 Bob shook his head and said with a smile,
00:24:20 "Kevin, what are you talking about?
00:24:23 I don't seem to understand."
00:24:25 Before Bob could even finish his words,
00:24:28 Kevin had already thrown a vicious jab at his face,
00:24:31 resulting in the sudden burst of blood from the old man's nose.
00:24:35 [MUSIC]
00:24:41 Episode 3, Ghost Servants
00:24:44 [MUSIC]
00:24:47 "Did you plot to hurt my father?"
00:24:49 Kevin roared.
00:24:51 He never thought that the Bennett family
00:24:52 would be crazy to such an extent.
00:24:54 And to let him regain his family,
00:24:56 he used Alan's life to threaten him.
00:24:59 "Young man, you said so yourself.
00:25:01 I didn't say anything."
00:25:03 Bob Pierce smiled slightly and said,
00:25:06 "Fuck!"
00:25:07 Kevin punched heavily on the wall.
00:25:10 Although he wished he could kill Bob,
00:25:12 Kevin knew that the only one who could save Alan at this moment
00:25:15 was Bob Pierce.
00:25:17 Without him, even if he could get fifty thousand dollars,
00:25:20 the hospital wouldn't save his father-in-law.
00:25:23 Furthermore, there was no way
00:25:25 that he would have found such huge money.
00:25:27 This was an open and proper scheme,
00:25:30 but Kevin had no choice but to jump in.
00:25:32 He could accept the fact that the Bennett family
00:25:34 would not hesitate to use any means for him,
00:25:37 but he definitely would not allow Claire's family to be harmed.
00:25:41 "Boy, quickly, make the decision.
00:25:45 Mr. Wright won't be able to hold on for long."
00:25:48 A peaceful smile appeared on old Bob's face.
00:25:51 From the beginning, he had gauged Kevin's weaknesses
00:25:54 as it was too obvious.
00:25:56 That person was Alan Wright.
00:25:58 If Alan was harmed in any way,
00:26:00 Kevin would lose his mind.
00:26:02 If Kevin had watched Alan die today,
00:26:04 then his relationship with Claire would have come to an end.
00:26:07 Bob was sure that Kevin would not make such a foolish choice.
00:26:11 Kevin smiled sadly.
00:26:13 He had made the right bet.
00:26:14 Even without Claire, he would not have let Alan die.
00:26:18 Alan had saved his life.
00:26:20 "Save him!"
00:26:22 Kevin's voice was terrifyingly cold as he made his decision.
00:26:25 "If anything happens to my father this time,
00:26:28 I will destroy the Bennett family."
00:26:31 "Young man, the moment you were born,
00:26:34 the noble bloodline of the Bennett family flowed through your body.
00:26:38 Now, you have finally made the wisest decision.
00:26:42 Believe me, the Bennett family can give you far more
00:26:46 than just billions of dollars."
00:26:48 His words revealed a deep sense of pride.
00:26:51 The Bennett family was known
00:26:52 as the number one wealthy class in the capital,
00:26:55 and it was not as simple as having money.
00:26:58 The true power of the Bennett family
00:27:00 was something that ordinary people could not even imagine.
00:27:03 Wise, Kevin clenched his teeth,
00:27:06 and a monstrous hatred could be seen in his eyes.
00:27:09 When a person is kind and gets bullied,
00:27:11 he would retreat time and time again.
00:27:14 In exchange, he gained an inch of advance in his Bennett family.
00:27:18 People of the Bennett family,
00:27:20 they all thought Kevin was a dog,
00:27:22 came at once and left at once.
00:27:24 However, what they did not know
00:27:26 was that dogs could bite if forced to do so.
00:27:29 At this moment, Kevin decided in his heart,
00:27:32 from today onwards, he will not retreat half a step.
00:27:36 Between him and the Bennetts,
00:27:38 if it's not you who dies, then it's me who dies.
00:27:43 He wanted Harvey Bennett to pay the price for his confidence.
00:27:46 "Bennett family, you forced me."
00:27:50 Bob did not know what Kevin was thinking.
00:27:52 He took out the contract he had prepared a long time ago,
00:27:55 smiled at Kevin and said,
00:27:58 "Kevin, this is the master's gift for you.
00:28:02 As long as you sign this,
00:28:03 our family, all the businesses in Los Angeles County,
00:28:07 will be yours."
00:28:09 Kevin glanced at Bob coldly.
00:28:12 On the contract, there were different kinds of industries,
00:28:15 such as real estate, catering, communications,
00:28:18 entertainment, and the internet.
00:28:20 Almost all walks of life were involved.
00:28:23 A rough estimate is worth hundreds of billions.
00:28:26 It was also the first time Kevin heard how terrifying
00:28:29 the Bennett family of the number one wealthy class was.
00:28:33 Their property alone could fetch a grand sum.
00:28:36 Then all of America's businesses added up together.
00:28:39 He was truly as rich as a nation.
00:28:42 The more he understood, the more pressure Kevin felt.
00:28:45 However, the arrow was already at the tip of the bow.
00:28:49 Kevin had no other way out.
00:28:51 Even if he knew that Harvey had dug a hole for him,
00:28:54 he still had to jump down.
00:28:56 Kevin no longer hesitated and signed his name on it.
00:28:59 "Congratulations, young master.
00:29:01 From now on, young master's the richest man in Los Angeles County."
00:29:06 Bob Pierce bowed respectfully.
00:29:08 "Richest man in Los Angeles County?"
00:29:11 Kevin laughed coldly in his heart.
00:29:13 For an ordinary person,
00:29:14 becoming the richest person in an instant
00:29:17 would cause them to go crazy with joy.
00:29:19 However, Kevin did not think so.
00:29:22 If he could,
00:29:23 he would rather live the life of an ordinary commoner with Claire
00:29:26 than become the richest person in the world.
00:29:29 But the Bennett family did not plan to give him this chance.
00:29:32 From the moment he accepted the business of the family
00:29:34 in the state of California,
00:29:36 he could die at any time.
00:29:38 Watching Kevin leave,
00:29:40 Bob took out his cell phone and dialed a number.
00:29:43 "Sir, he agreed."
00:29:45 Bob said respectfully.
00:29:47 "Yes."
00:29:49 The voice on the other end of the phone was indifferent.
00:29:51 Obviously not surprised by this result.
00:29:54 "Stay at Beverly Hills during this time
00:29:57 and help him control the businesses as soon as possible."
00:30:00 "Yes, sir."
00:30:02 "In addition,
00:30:03 I will send a ghost servant to secretly protect him."
00:30:06 "Ghost servant?"
00:30:08 Bob Pierce widened his eyes in shock.
00:30:10 He never thought that Harvey Bennett would send ghost servants to protect Kevin.
00:30:15 What exactly did this illegitimate child have on him?
00:30:18 Was it worth Harvey's caution?
00:30:20 It has to be said that the ghost servant
00:30:22 was the most important force in the Bennett family.
00:30:25 Harvey Bennett once spent more than 30 billion overseas
00:30:29 and bought an island as the training ground for the ghost servant.
00:30:32 Then from all over the world,
00:30:34 they would search for children with good foundations
00:30:36 and nurture them from childhood.
00:30:39 Every child had to undergo hellish cruel training.
00:30:42 Their instructors were either the current martial arts grandmasters
00:30:45 or the head of assassins.
00:30:48 Every year,
00:30:49 thousands of people enter the ghost servants training camp.
00:30:52 But in the end,
00:30:53 only one of them can become a ghost servant.
00:30:56 One could imagine how terrifying the ghost servants trained by the Bennett family were.
00:31:00 In front of the ghost servants,
00:31:02 those so-called soldiers and famous assassins
00:31:05 were just a joke.
00:31:06 Harvey had never thought of sending ghost servants to protect Kevin.
00:31:10 Bob was very clear
00:31:12 that even Harvey's son didn't have the qualifications
00:31:14 to be protected by the ghost servants.
00:31:17 But it just so happened
00:31:18 that Kevin had the qualifications.
00:31:21 Bob was alarmed.
00:31:22 He knew that Kevin must have some unknown secret.
00:31:25 This secret held much more value than the billions of assets of the Bennetts.
00:31:30 After the arrangements by Bob,
00:31:32 Alan's operation was completed safely.
00:31:35 Seeing that there were no problems with Alan,
00:31:37 Kevin went out to buy two breakfasts.
00:31:39 Eileen and Claire had been waiting in the ward all night,
00:31:42 so they should be hungry by now, he thought.
00:31:44 Kevin carried breakfast and came to the door of the ward.
00:31:47 Just as he was about to open the door,
00:31:49 he heard Eileen's voice from the ward.
00:31:52 "Claire, just divorce that Kevin after your dad recovers.
00:31:56 You deserve better."
00:31:58 "Mom, I've said it many times.
00:32:00 I won't divorce him."
00:32:02 Claire's long, shapely eyebrows creased slightly,
00:32:05 and her voice sounded exhausted.
00:32:07 "You must get a divorce."
00:32:09 Eileen's attitude was tough,
00:32:11 and her tone was firm.
00:32:13 "Claire, since your childhood,
00:32:15 I have never said no to anything that you asked for,
00:32:18 but this matter can't be discussed.
00:32:20 If you don't divorce Kevin this time,
00:32:22 you will see a completely different side of me."
00:32:25 Claire stared blankly at Eileen.
00:32:28 She clearly understood that her mother was serious this time around.
00:32:32 Divorcing Kevin was something Eileen had proposed earlier also.
00:32:35 However,
00:32:36 she would always give up as long as Claire shook her head.
00:32:40 However, this time,
00:32:41 Eileen's attitude was surprisingly unyielding.
00:32:44 "Claire, it's not that I'm going to break you apart,
00:32:47 but you're not a match.
00:32:49 Kevin is not worthy of you.
00:32:51 I knew it from the day he entered our house.
00:32:53 At that time,
00:32:54 if it wasn't for your dad promising me that Kevin would have a future,
00:32:57 I would have never agreed to your marriage,
00:32:59 even if I were beaten to death.
00:33:01 Now, three years have passed.
00:33:04 Has Kevin ever done a decent thing?
00:33:06 And even now,
00:33:07 he's still a takeout delivery man
00:33:08 with a bare minimum salary of $1,200 per month.
00:33:12 Do you want to live with this kind of man for life?
00:33:14 Kevin stood outside the door with a calm expression.
00:33:17 What Eileen said was the truth.
00:33:19 In the past three years,
00:33:21 he had indeed not done anything decent,
00:33:23 nor did he give Claire any happiness.
00:33:25 Now it was Claire's time to make her decision.
00:33:28 No matter what decision she made,
00:33:30 he would accept it,
00:33:32 even if it was a divorce.
00:33:34 This time,
00:33:35 he would leave
00:33:36 unrestrainedly.
00:33:38 [Music]
00:33:47 Episode 4
00:33:48 The Unshakable Love
00:33:51 Claire bit her pink lips
00:33:53 as her beautiful eyes gradually turned red.
00:33:56 She knew what her mother said was right.
00:33:58 Kevin was not very promising,
00:34:00 and her sense of reason also told her
00:34:02 that she should have left him a long time ago.
00:34:05 But every time she thought about Kevin's gentle
00:34:07 and loving gaze on her,
00:34:09 her heart softened.
00:34:11 That's right.
00:34:12 This man didn't have much potential,
00:34:14 but because of her unintentional stomach discomfort,
00:34:17 he would wake up early every day to cook porridge for her.
00:34:20 It had been three years,
00:34:22 and he hadn't stopped for a single day.
00:34:24 This man didn't have much ability,
00:34:26 but for three years,
00:34:27 no matter how hard it was,
00:34:29 he would pick her up and take her to and from work every day,
00:34:32 watching her safely enter the company before leaving.
00:34:35 In these three years,
00:34:36 this man had done too much for her.
00:34:39 Unknowingly,
00:34:40 Claire's face was covered in tears.
00:34:43 "Claire, you haven't fallen in love with him, right?"
00:34:46 Looking at her daughter like this,
00:34:48 Eileen's face was filled with disbelief.
00:34:50 Was this still her proud daughter?
00:34:53 Claire didn't say anything.
00:34:55 She was already sobbing.
00:34:56 She did not know what to do.
00:34:59 Looking at Claire crying so much,
00:35:01 Eileen's mind was in a mess.
00:35:03 She had never thought of this.
00:35:05 When Claire and Kevin were getting married,
00:35:07 she strongly opposed it,
00:35:08 but she couldn't stop her husband.
00:35:10 She had no choice but to let the two of them be together.
00:35:13 However,
00:35:14 Eileen understood her daughter,
00:35:16 and she was even more arrogant and proud than she was back then.
00:35:19 Therefore,
00:35:20 Eileen was very confident that Claire would look down on a good-for-nothing like Kevin.
00:35:25 After two or three years,
00:35:27 Claire will see through Kevin's essence and would take the initiative to leave.
00:35:31 But this time,
00:35:32 Eileen got the biggest jolt of her life.
00:35:35 Not only did her daughter not leave that good-for-nothing boy,
00:35:39 she even fell in love with him.
00:35:41 "Claire,
00:35:42 mom knows that Kevin is very good to you,
00:35:45 but you have to understand that the two of them
00:35:47 have to live together for the rest of their lives
00:35:49 and consider a lot of things.
00:35:51 You can't just look at the other half to be nice to you,"
00:35:53 Eileen said.
00:35:55 "Mom,
00:35:56 don't say anymore.
00:35:58 I believe in him."
00:35:59 Eileen wanted to continue persuading her,
00:36:01 but was cut off by Claire.
00:36:04 At this moment,
00:36:05 Claire had already made up her mind.
00:36:07 No matter how useless this man was,
00:36:09 she would never leave.
00:36:10 This was her life.
00:36:12 "Oh, Claire,
00:36:14 you will regret it,"
00:36:16 Eileen sighed.
00:36:17 And from the look on her daughter's face,
00:36:19 Eileen knew that it didn't matter how much she said.
00:36:22 "Do you regret it?
00:36:24 No.
00:36:25 No!
00:36:26 I won't let you regret it!"
00:36:27 Outside,
00:36:28 Kevin who was listening to all this clenched his fist.
00:36:31 "I believe Kevin."
00:36:34 The three words Kevin waited three years for.
00:36:37 "Claire,
00:36:38 thank you.
00:36:40 From this moment onwards,
00:36:41 even if the world makes you regret it,
00:36:43 I,
00:36:44 Kevin Bennett,
00:36:45 will not let you regret it."
00:36:47 Kevin turned around and left in big strides.
00:36:50 From now on,
00:36:51 he had another task on his mind.
00:36:53 To make Claire the happiest woman in the world.
00:36:56 He wanted to let Eileen see that he was a good for nothing
00:36:59 and could also give his beloved woman happiness.
00:37:03 "Young master,
00:37:04 do you have time now?"
00:37:06 The moment Kevin left the hospital,
00:37:08 he received a call from Bob.
00:37:10 "What is it?"
00:37:11 Kevin frowned.
00:37:12 He had already warned him yesterday
00:37:14 that he should not be disturbed if it is not a pressing matter.
00:37:17 He was, after all,
00:37:18 seeking complete peace.
00:37:20 "Sir,
00:37:21 I can see that you don't have a place to stay in Sacramento.
00:37:24 So,
00:37:25 I decided to buy a villa for you
00:37:27 from Martin Henderson last night in Beverly Hills.
00:37:30 Mr. Bennett,
00:37:32 if it's convenient for you,
00:37:33 you can come over now to take a look.
00:37:35 You have all the right to do that."
00:37:37 After he had called Harvey last night,
00:37:40 Bob knew that even if Kevin wasn't an illegitimate child,
00:37:43 he still wasn't someone he could afford to offend.
00:37:46 Thus,
00:37:46 he spent the entire night buying a villa with the best prime location
00:37:50 as an apology to Kevin.
00:37:52 "Why is this even a point of discussion?"
00:37:54 Kevin thought and subconsciously wanted to refuse.
00:37:57 Even though he had acquired the wealth,
00:37:59 he didn't want to make it too public
00:38:01 as he preferred to keep a low profile.
00:38:03 He would rather be the son-in-law of the Wright family
00:38:06 than the richest man in Beverly Hills.
00:38:08 However,
00:38:09 after hearing "Beverly Hills",
00:38:11 Kevin changed his mind.
00:38:13 This was because Claire had once mentioned
00:38:15 that she liked the environment of Beverly Hills a lot
00:38:17 as she saw on television.
00:38:19 When she earned more money in the future,
00:38:21 she would buy a house in Beverly Hills
00:38:23 and then own a villa someday,
00:38:24 be in the center of the glamour world.
00:38:26 At that time,
00:38:28 Kevin naturally couldn't afford to buy a house in Beverly Hills.
00:38:31 Not to mention a house.
00:38:33 On his salary,
00:38:35 he couldn't even afford a rental.
00:38:37 Beverly Hills is home to many rich celebrities,
00:38:40 especially those from Hollywood.
00:38:42 The economy and tourism there are always booming.
00:38:46 The localities are filled with filthy expensive houses
00:38:49 and to own one,
00:38:51 probably one of the biggest villas is itself a matter of pride.
00:38:55 It could be said
00:38:57 that if he didn't have the monetary backing of his family,
00:39:00 Kevin wouldn't be able to afford a room in LA
00:39:02 in his entire lifetime.
00:39:04 Being thick with Harvey Bennett,
00:39:06 he didn't even need Kevin
00:39:08 to take the initiative to buy it.
00:39:10 Bob had already placed the villa in front of him.
00:39:13 "Fine, I'll take it as a present for Claire."
00:39:17 Kevin sighed in his heart.
00:39:19 However,
00:39:20 how to make Claire accept this gift
00:39:22 was a problem.
00:39:24 "Alright, I will come over."
00:39:26 After thinking it through, Kevin agreed.
00:39:28 "Young master,
00:39:30 I'll send a car to pick you up."
00:39:32 "No need, I'll go over myself."
00:39:34 Kevin didn't want any other favors from Bob.
00:39:37 "Yes, young master."
00:39:39 Bob didn't dare to say anything else.
00:39:41 Kevin decided to ride his electric bike
00:39:43 towards Beverly Hills.
00:39:45 The security in rich Beverly Hills was very good.
00:39:48 Even the average residential area had many guards.
00:39:51 Residents would not have to worry about their safety
00:39:54 if they lived in a place like this.
00:39:56 When they reached the villa,
00:39:58 the security became even tighter.
00:40:00 At the top of the hills,
00:40:02 there were only nine villas.
00:40:04 In every villa lived a well-known figure
00:40:06 of Beverly Hills.
00:40:08 Mayor of Beverly Hills, Lester Miller,
00:40:10 and the wealthiest of the city, Martin Henderson.
00:40:12 This was the gathering place
00:40:14 of the most powerful people within the city.
00:40:16 One could imagine the price
00:40:18 one would have to pay to buy a villa here.
00:40:20 It was impossible to do it just with money.
00:40:22 One would also need power.
00:40:24 Bob naturally had the strength to do so.
00:40:26 As the chief advisor of one of the wealthiest families,
00:40:28 Bob Pierce had to prove himself
00:40:30 to Harvey and Kevin.
00:40:32 The Bennett family was capable
00:40:34 of dominating the entire county.
00:40:36 "Hey, brat over there, stop right there."
00:40:38 Kevin was stopped by a voice
00:40:40 just as he reached the entrance of the villa.
00:40:42 A group of security guards
00:40:44 wearing black uniforms surrounded him.
00:40:46 Episode 5, A Security Issue.
00:40:48 "What do you want?"
00:40:50 The tall and bulky security guard
00:40:52 who was in the lead
00:40:54 stared at Kevin with unfriendly eyes.
00:40:56 "Looking for someone,"
00:40:58 Kevin answered honestly.
00:41:00 "Looking for someone?"
00:41:02 The black uniformed security officer
00:41:04 looked at Kevin with a confused look.
00:41:06 "I'm not looking for anyone."
00:41:08 "I'm looking for a man."
00:41:10 "A man?"
00:41:12 "A man?"
00:41:14 The black uniformed security officer
00:41:16 smiled awkwardly and asked,
00:41:18 "Do you know where this is?"
00:41:20 "Beverly Hills?"
00:41:22 Kevin said lightly.
00:41:24 "Motherfucker,
00:41:26 if you know this place is called Beverly Hills
00:41:28 and you still dare to come to find someone,
00:41:30 does anyone here know you?"
00:41:32 Guard Ronan Jenkins sneered.
00:41:34 Kevin's clothes
00:41:36 didn't even add up to a hundred dollars
00:41:38 and he was even riding an electric scooter
00:41:40 for takeout delivery.
00:41:42 "How could such a person be related
00:41:44 to the people in the villa complex?"
00:41:46 Kevin frowned.
00:41:48 He was too focused on keeping a low profile.
00:41:50 He didn't expect to run into
00:41:52 a security guard who looked down on people here.
00:41:54 Seeing that Kevin was silent,
00:41:56 Ronan became even more arrogant.
00:41:58 He felt that he had seen
00:42:00 through Kevin's true appearance.
00:42:02 "Kid, tell me,
00:42:04 who are you looking for?
00:42:06 Mr. Lester Miller or our boss
00:42:08 Mr. Martin Henderson?
00:42:10 Get lost."
00:42:12 Cackper Worley and Martin were the two most
00:42:14 famous people in the entire Beverly Hills.
00:42:16 One was the mayor
00:42:18 and the other was the real estate tycoon.
00:42:20 There had been many people who had come up
00:42:22 the mountain saying that they knew two people,
00:42:24 but they had all been exposed
00:42:26 and beaten by Ronan.
00:42:28 "I'm looking for Martin.
00:42:30 I bought a mansion from him. I came to visit."
00:42:32 Kevin sighed and said.
00:42:34 However, he was willing
00:42:36 to give Ronan another chance.
00:42:38 If Ronan let him in, he could pretend
00:42:40 that nothing had happened.
00:42:42 After all, he would be living here in the future.
00:42:44 "Hahahahaha!"
00:42:46 As Kevin expected,
00:42:48 the response he got
00:42:50 was an unbridled mockery.
00:42:52 Ronan laughed so much that he bent over
00:42:54 with tears streaming down his face.
00:42:56 "Hahahahaha!
00:42:58 Did you hear that?
00:43:00 This idiot said he bought a villa from our boss.
00:43:02 I'm gonna die from laughter.
00:43:04 Is he stupid? Doesn't he know that the
00:43:06 villas here, even if it's a square meter,
00:43:08 can't be bought even if they sold him?
00:43:10 If he can buy a villa here,
00:43:12 I'll eat his electric scooter."
00:43:14 The few security guards were all laughing.
00:43:16 They had seen many Braggart people,
00:43:18 but never saw someone like Kevin,
00:43:20 who would immediately say that he
00:43:22 bought a set of Beverly Hills Villa.
00:43:24 This was no longer bragging,
00:43:26 this was a fucking dream.
00:43:28 Kevin shook his head.
00:43:30 The reactions of the security guards in front of him
00:43:32 made him at a loss whether to laugh
00:43:34 or cry.
00:43:36 Why did no one believe him these days?
00:43:38 "Alright, little brat.
00:43:40 Seeing that you're trying to make me laugh,
00:43:42 I won't deal with you today.
00:43:44 Oh no! Go down the mountain.
00:43:46 This is not a place where you can come."
00:43:48 Ronan laughed and waved his hand.
00:43:50 Originally,
00:43:52 according to his character, he should at least
00:43:54 beat Kevin up today, so that Kevin
00:43:56 would know what it meant to be arrogant.
00:43:58 However, Kevin brought them joy.
00:44:00 Ronan felt that he could be
00:44:02 merciful and let Kevin go.
00:44:04 At the same time, in a luxurious
00:44:06 living room in the villa area,
00:44:08 Bob Pierce paced back and forth in front
00:44:10 of the window. Behind him
00:44:12 stood a rough-looking man,
00:44:14 and it was a suspicious sight.
00:44:16 The man's skin was dark,
00:44:18 there were scars on his face,
00:44:20 and his hairstyle reminded Kevin
00:44:22 of the Italian mafia from The Godfather.
00:44:24 The man was
00:44:26 Martin Henderson.
00:44:28 "Mr. Bennett,
00:44:30 has the young master Bennett come over?"
00:44:32 At this moment, Martin
00:44:34 was also a bit nervous.
00:44:36 After hearing yesterday that the successor of the
00:44:38 Bennett family would come to his city,
00:44:40 he did not sleep for the night.
00:44:42 He did not know what character this young
00:44:44 master Bennett family had, and whether
00:44:46 he was good or not. Although
00:44:48 others said he was the wealthiest in the city,
00:44:50 Martin was clear that he was
00:44:52 only a figure in the land of Beverly Hills.
00:44:54 He was someone who could be considered
00:44:56 a big shot in the city, and his so-called
00:44:58 wealthiest man was not even close to him.
00:45:00 "The young master, he..."
00:45:02 Bob was also a bit worried,
00:45:04 as the call ended more than an hour
00:45:06 ago. Logically speaking,
00:45:08 Kevin should have arrived a long time ago,
00:45:10 but there was still no sign of him.
00:45:12 At this moment,
00:45:14 his phone rang.
00:45:16 "Young master!" "I'm at the door!"
00:45:18 Kevin hung up after saying that.
00:45:20 Bob's expression changed.
00:45:22 "At the door?
00:45:24 Why didn't you come in?"
00:45:26 "Hey, brat! I told you to leave it!
00:45:28 Are you fucking deaf?"
00:45:30 Seeing Kevin not only refuses to listen to him,
00:45:32 but also dares to make a phone call
00:45:34 in front of him, Ronan immediately
00:45:36 gets annoyed. Kevin gave a
00:45:38 faint smile and said, "You want me to
00:45:40 leave it?" "What?
00:45:42 You still want me to help you get lost?"
00:45:44 Ronan sneered again and again as his
00:45:46 fingers cracked. As he spoke,
00:45:48 he kicked Kevin's electric scooter.
00:45:50 The electric scooter was kicked
00:45:52 into pieces. Kevin has been riding
00:45:54 this electric scooter for three years.
00:45:56 Kevin frowned, and a
00:45:58 trace of coldness flashed across his face.
00:46:00 He rode this electric
00:46:02 bike through the wind and rain and
00:46:04 sent it out for three years.
00:46:06 He had a relationship with the electric scooter.
00:46:08 Now it had been kicked by a
00:46:10 security guard. Kevin was
00:46:12 instantly in a bad mood.
00:46:14 Ronan didn't care that much.
00:46:16 He called a few security guards and
00:46:18 surrounded Kevin in the middle.
00:46:20 "Brat! If you don't want to get lost,
00:46:22 then I'll help you get lost.
00:46:24 Come here. Obediently extend
00:46:26 your face and let me slap you twice.
00:46:28 I will let you go down the mountain."
00:46:30 Ronan had an arrogant
00:46:32 look on his face. He felt that Kevin
00:46:34 was like a fish on a chopping board that
00:46:36 could be slaughtered by him at will.
00:46:38 "You sure you want to slap me twice?"
00:46:40 Kevin smiled and walked
00:46:42 toward Ronan. "What?
00:46:44 If I slapped you, what can you do about
00:46:46 it?" Ronan laughed and felt
00:46:48 that the kid in front of him was more of an idiot.
00:46:50 Although he was only the captain of the
00:46:52 security guards, he was still a person
00:46:54 of the family. Just the name of
00:46:56 the Martin family was enough to make Kevin unable
00:46:58 to live on. In this territory,
00:47:00 even some of the officials
00:47:02 and dignitaries would have to be polite.
00:47:04 If he did not have the order from
00:47:06 the Martin family, if he said that he
00:47:08 was not allowed to enter, then it would
00:47:10 mean that he was not allowed to enter
00:47:12 and no one would dare cause trouble.
00:47:14 With that, Ronan
00:47:16 raised his hand and slapped
00:47:18 Kevin's face. However,
00:47:20 this slap didn't land on him.
00:47:22 His hand was grabbed by
00:47:24 someone and was immediately followed by a
00:47:26 slap to his face. Then,
00:47:28 an extremely gloomy face
00:47:30 appeared in front of him.
00:47:32 "Boss Martin?"
00:47:34 Ronan's mind exploded and
00:47:36 he felt as if his tongue was stuck in a knot
00:47:38 because the person who suddenly appeared
00:47:40 in front of him was the famous,
00:47:42 richest man in Sacramento,
00:47:44 Martin. "Boss Martin,
00:47:46 why are you here?"
00:47:48 Ronan's voice trembled. He was
00:47:50 fully aware of how terrifying this was.
00:47:52 "Do you want to hit me too?"
00:47:54 Martin asked gloomily.
00:47:56 He was just thinking about
00:47:58 how to curry favor with Kevin, but
00:48:00 in the blink of an eye, his bodyguard
00:48:02 blocked Kevin's path and almost got
00:48:04 beaten up. At this moment,
00:48:06 Martin even had the urge to kill.
00:48:14 Episode 6,
00:48:16 An Alliance
00:48:18 "Boss Martin,
00:48:20 I'm so sorry." Ronan
00:48:22 Jenkins' eyes were filled with fear as he
00:48:24 mumbled. If he was going to hit
00:48:26 Martin Henderson, no matter how
00:48:28 bold he was, Bennett would not
00:48:30 dare to do it. Martin
00:48:32 Henderson slapped Ronan Jenkins
00:48:34 hard on the face,
00:48:36 knocking him to the ground. Then,
00:48:38 he turned around and bowed to Kevin
00:48:40 Bennett respectfully and said,
00:48:42 "Sir, I'm sorry for scaring you."
00:48:44 His movements were done
00:48:46 in one go. There was complete
00:48:48 silence. The security guards
00:48:50 rubbed their eyes in unison.
00:48:52 They could not believe what they had just seen.
00:48:54 The richest man in Beverly Hills
00:48:56 bowed to a young man.
00:48:58 If this scene were to spread
00:49:00 out, the entire city would probably
00:49:02 shake. What exactly
00:49:04 is the identity of this young man?
00:49:06 The few security guards felt
00:49:08 their minds tremble and their breathing
00:49:10 became heavier than usual.
00:49:12 "He's too serious. I'm fine,"
00:49:14 Kevin smiled and said.
00:49:16 He didn't need anyone to say that he could
00:49:18 recognize the person in front of him.
00:49:20 After all, he was the richest man
00:49:22 in Sacramento. Kevin often
00:49:24 saw pictures in financial daily newspapers.
00:49:26 "Young Master Kevin,
00:49:28 this was my negligence.
00:49:30 Please, be at ease.
00:49:32 Today, I will
00:49:34 make those people who offended you
00:49:36 pay the price."
00:49:38 A hint of viciousness flashed across
00:49:40 Martin Henderson's eyes.
00:49:42 Ronan Jenkins and the rest had almost caused him
00:49:44 to lose his life. Naturally,
00:49:46 he could not let them off lightly.
00:49:48 "President Martin, have
00:49:50 mercy. President Martin,
00:49:52 I was wrong. Please, let me go."
00:49:54 As soon as Martin finished
00:49:56 his words, Ronan and the security
00:49:58 guards kneeled on the ground together,
00:50:00 tears streaming down their faces.
00:50:02 The price of Martin Henderson's words
00:50:04 was not only them losing their jobs,
00:50:06 losing both their arms and legs
00:50:08 was also light.
00:50:10 "Shut up!" Martin shouted
00:50:12 coldly, and the few of them immediately
00:50:14 went silent. Martin's
00:50:16 expression was cold. The reason
00:50:18 he could turn from a poor kid into the current
00:50:20 richest man in the city was
00:50:22 not that he only knew how to do business.
00:50:24 Since these people dared to offend
00:50:26 Kevin Bennett, they had to be
00:50:28 prepared to pay the price.
00:50:30 Kevin narrowed his eyes.
00:50:32 He could tell that Martin was serious,
00:50:34 and that Ronan Jenkins and the others
00:50:36 would be severely punished.
00:50:38 "Forget it, Mr. Henderson," Kevin
00:50:40 Bennett waved his hand and said.
00:50:42 "They didn't do anything to me. Just let them
00:50:44 go back to work. If you feel sorry
00:50:46 for me, you can deduct a month's salary from
00:50:48 each of them and treat it as punishment."
00:50:50 In the end,
00:50:52 Kevin's heart softened.
00:50:54 Ronan Jenkins and the others were indeed at fault,
00:50:56 but it was not to the point of being
00:50:58 ridiculous. Kevin did not
00:51:00 want to ruin the lives of Ronan and the others
00:51:02 because of him.
00:51:04 After leaving Bennett family, in the three years
00:51:06 he was a delivery boy, Kevin Bennett
00:51:08 understood many things.
00:51:10 For those at the bottom of society,
00:51:12 just being alive was sometimes very difficult.
00:51:14 Perhaps it was just
00:51:16 a casual decision for him, but
00:51:18 for Ronan Jenkins and the others,
00:51:20 it was a decision that concerned their entire lives.
00:51:22 Martin Henderson was
00:51:24 a little surprised, but
00:51:26 since Kevin had already said so,
00:51:28 he must agree with Kevin's opinion.
00:51:30 "Hurry up and thank young
00:51:32 master Kevin." Martin glanced
00:51:34 at them coldly. Hearing this,
00:51:36 Ronan Jenkins and the others
00:51:38 hurriedly crawled in the front of Kevin Bennett
00:51:40 to apologize. Kevin
00:51:42 didn't say anything. He only hoped
00:51:44 that, after this incident,
00:51:46 Ronan and the others would be able to learn their lesson.
00:51:48 Not everyone was as compassionate
00:51:50 as he was. Martin
00:51:52 Henderson also heaved a sigh of relief.
00:51:54 Kevin Bennett's performance
00:51:56 had surprised him quite a bit.
00:51:58 It was a huge difference compared to the other rich
00:52:00 and powerful people that he had met.
00:52:02 Not only was Kevin not conceited,
00:52:04 but he also seemed to have an affinity with him.
00:52:06 If Bob Pierce hadn't told
00:52:08 him this, even he wouldn't have dared
00:52:10 to believe that the person before him
00:52:12 was someone from the Bennett family.
00:52:14 And this person? He was
00:52:16 riding on an electric bike.
00:52:18 Martin Henderson couldn't
00:52:20 help but look at the electric scooter that was kicked
00:52:22 into pieces with a weird expression
00:52:24 on his face.
00:52:26 "Young master, let's go in."
00:52:28 At this moment,
00:52:30 Bob Pierce stood up with a smile.
00:52:32 Kevin nodded slightly.
00:52:34 Under Martin's lead, Kevin
00:52:36 entered a villa that had the style of a European
00:52:38 castle. The villa was
00:52:40 elegantly decorated without losing
00:52:42 any nobility, and the jade white
00:52:44 walls were refreshing.
00:52:46 Along the way, Martin Henderson
00:52:48 introduced this villa to Kevin Bennett.
00:52:50 This villa had the best location
00:52:52 in Beverly Hills, and it had panoramic
00:52:54 windows. People living in this
00:52:56 villa could enjoy the beautiful scenery
00:52:58 of the hill without going out.
00:53:00 The villa had an area of over
00:53:02 500 square meters, with
00:53:04 a swimming pool, gym,
00:53:06 cinema, and small garden.
00:53:08 In short, all the high-grade
00:53:10 facilities were available in this villa.
00:53:12 Martin had built this villa
00:53:14 for his old age, so it was not
00:53:16 for sale. However,
00:53:18 after Bob Pierce expressed his wish
00:53:20 to buy the villa yesterday,
00:53:22 Martin naturally did not dare to refuse
00:53:24 and sold the villa to Bob Pierce for the
00:53:26 price of $8,000 per square meter.
00:53:28 Although it was
00:53:30 called selling, it was more like
00:53:32 giving it away, because in terms of
00:53:34 Beverly Hills, even the most
00:53:36 ordinary of residents would cost
00:53:38 $16,000 per square meter.
00:53:40 This villa had the best
00:53:42 location and scenery. Even if it
00:53:44 was priced at $500,000
00:53:46 per square meter, countless
00:53:48 people would rush to buy it.
00:53:50 Kevin Bennett was very satisfied with this
00:53:52 villa. He believed that his wife,
00:53:54 Clara Wright, would be very happy if
00:53:56 she lived in it. "Young Master
00:53:58 Kevin, it's getting late.
00:54:00 I've prepared a luncheon at home.
00:54:02 Would it be an honor if you could join
00:54:04 and give me a chance to apologize?"
00:54:06 After taking Kevin Bennett to look at the
00:54:08 villa, Martin Henderson asked tentatively.
00:54:10 Although Kevin Bennett had
00:54:12 already said that he didn't care about
00:54:14 Ronan Jenkins and the others, Martin
00:54:16 Henderson was still a bit nervous.
00:54:18 Afraid that Kevin Bennett would think too much
00:54:20 into it after returning.
00:54:22 "President Martin, you're too polite.
00:54:24 What happened before is already
00:54:26 in the past. I won't take it to heart.
00:54:28 But, I will develop
00:54:30 my residence in the future, so
00:54:32 I might have to trouble you to take care of me."
00:54:34 Kevin Bennett said with a smile.
00:54:36 From the moment he took over the business
00:54:38 of the Bennett family, he had to interact
00:54:40 with the rich and powerful families there.
00:54:42 Martin Henderson was a smart person.
00:54:44 If possible,
00:54:46 Kevin wanted Martin to be his trusted aide.
00:54:48 "Ha!
00:54:50 Young Master Kevin, you must be joking.
00:54:52 I dare not
00:54:54 to take care of you. In the future,
00:54:56 if you need anything,
00:54:58 just tell me. I will do my best
00:55:00 to help." Martin laughed heartily.
00:55:02 Kevin smiled
00:55:04 and did not say anything else.
00:55:06 He was not stupid enough to believe Martin's words.
00:55:08 The world was bustling
00:55:10 with noise and excitement.
00:55:12 It was all about profits.
00:55:14 If he did not have Bennett family,
00:55:16 a person like Martin Henderson would not even
00:55:18 look at him.
00:55:20 "Oh, right, Mr. Henderson.
00:55:22 I see that Beverly Hills is quite big.
00:55:24 Aside from this villa area,
00:55:26 there are also many other places with very beautiful
00:55:28 scenery and geographical location."
00:55:30 "Why doesn't President Martin
00:55:32 consider continuing to develop it?"
00:55:34 Kevin Bennett suddenly asked.
00:55:36 In 1919,
00:55:38 Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford
00:55:40 bought land on Summit Drive and built a mansion.
00:55:42 Finished in 1921
00:55:44 and nicknamed "Pickfair" by the press.
00:55:46 The glamour associated with Fairbanks
00:55:48 and Pickford, as well as other
00:55:50 movie stars who built mansions in the city,
00:55:52 contributed to its growing appeal.
00:55:54 However, because of
00:55:56 the area the Beverly Hills occupied too,
00:55:58 it was extremely difficult
00:56:00 to develop it. So it required
00:56:02 an extremely high investment of funds.
00:56:04 It was said that Martin Henderson
00:56:06 had invested all of his financial resources
00:56:08 and had only developed
00:56:10 less than a quarter of his Beverly Hills.
00:56:12 Facing this bottomless pit,
00:56:14 Kevin Bennett had an idea.
00:56:16 Episode 7. Man in Blue
00:56:28 "Young Master Kevin,
00:56:32 it seems that you don't understand the situation
00:56:34 with Beverly Hills."
00:56:36 Martin Henderson laughed bitterly and said,
00:56:38 "Actually, I want to develop
00:56:40 my Beverly Hills more
00:56:42 than anyone else. After all,
00:56:44 I have borrowed the power
00:56:46 of my community to make it to this point,
00:56:48 and it would not be an
00:56:50 exaggeration to say that the people
00:56:52 are supporting me.
00:56:54 However, Beverly Hills is
00:56:56 too big, and real estate is
00:56:58 still risky. Even
00:57:00 after ten years of relying on the strength
00:57:02 of my entire Henderson family,
00:57:04 I still haven't managed to develop more than
00:57:06 a quarter of it. So for the
00:57:08 remaining three quarters,
00:57:10 I would not even dare to think about it."
00:57:12 Kevin smiled but did not
00:57:14 say anything. From Martin's words,
00:57:16 he could tell that Martin Henderson also
00:57:18 wanted to develop Beverly Hills,
00:57:20 but he was alone and did not have such a big appetite.
00:57:22 "President Martin,
00:57:24 what if you include me?"
00:57:26 Martin Henderson didn't have such a big appetite,
00:57:28 but he does.
00:57:30 Or perhaps, the Bennett family behind
00:57:32 him could do it. Kevin also
00:57:34 brought up his real goal. To develop
00:57:36 Beverly Hills was only one aspect.
00:57:38 More importantly, Kevin Bennett
00:57:40 wanted to use this opportunity
00:57:42 to test the bottom line of the Bennett family.
00:57:44 Beverly Hills was an
00:57:46 excellent opportunity. Ten billion
00:57:48 wasn't much to the Bennett family, but
00:57:50 it wasn't a small amount. He wanted
00:57:52 to see how much this Bennett family was willing to
00:57:54 pay for him. Martin
00:57:56 Henderson's expression changed.
00:57:58 He did not expect Kevin to be so bold,
00:58:00 daring to touch the bottomless
00:58:02 pit called Beverly Hills when he just
00:58:04 arrived. Martin naturally
00:58:06 did not know about the subtle relationship
00:58:08 between Kevin Bennett and the Bennett family.
00:58:10 If he knew that Kevin
00:58:12 Bennett invested in Beverly Hills and
00:58:14 did not even think about earning money,
00:58:16 he would probably cry.
00:58:18 "Young Master Kevin, if you
00:58:20 are truly willing to invest,
00:58:22 then this matter will be completed."
00:58:24 Martin Henderson's face lit up
00:58:26 as he quickly replied.
00:58:28 Developing Beverly Hills was not only a matter
00:58:30 of funding, but also a matter of
00:58:32 technology, resources, and many other
00:58:34 things. However,
00:58:36 if Kevin Bennett were to join, then
00:58:38 many of the problems would be easily solved.
00:58:40 After all, the people standing
00:58:42 behind Kevin Bennett were the Bennett family.
00:58:44 With the Bennett family, forget
00:58:46 about a single Beverly Hills,
00:58:48 even if there were ten of them, they would probably
00:58:50 still be able to take it down.
00:58:52 This was because those big shots not
00:58:54 only represented wealth, but also power.
00:58:56 Looking at Martin
00:58:58 Henderson's moved expression,
00:59:00 Bob Pierce was calm on the surface, but
00:59:02 his heart was full of bitterness.
00:59:04 He wanted to shout to Martin Henderson,
00:59:06 "Kevin is setting up a trap! You better not jump
00:59:08 in!" However,
00:59:10 he did not dare to say that because Harvey Bennett
00:59:12 had warned him before. No matter what,
00:59:14 he could not let anyone else know
00:59:16 about the true relationship between
00:59:18 Kevin Bennett and the Bennett family.
00:59:20 Kevin Bennett also saw this point,
00:59:22 so he was confident.
00:59:24 Bob Pierce smiled bitterly.
00:59:26 Last night, he had made Kevin Bennett suffer
00:59:28 a loss with the help of his $5 million
00:59:30 operation fee.
00:59:32 This morning, Kevin Bennett set a trap
00:59:34 for him. A trap worth nearly
00:59:36 $50 billion.
00:59:38 This was the warning Kevin Bennett gave him.
00:59:40 Bob Pierce's expression
00:59:42 became more complicated.
00:59:44 He suddenly felt that he couldn't see through this
00:59:46 abandoned young master in front of him.
00:59:48 "Then, do you mind cooperating with me?"
00:59:50 Kevin asked with a smile,
00:59:52 like an old fox.
00:59:54 "It's my honor to work with young
00:59:56 master Kevin." Before this,
00:59:58 he had been thinking about how he could establish
01:00:00 a relationship with Kevin, and
01:00:02 how he could hug Bennett's family's thighs.
01:00:04 Unexpectedly, in the blink
01:00:06 of an eye, Kevin Bennett threw him an
01:00:08 olive branch. How could Martin
01:00:10 Henderson refuse? "I hope
01:00:12 that we can cooperate happily."
01:00:14 Kevin squinted his eyes and stretched out his hand
01:00:16 with a smile. Two big hands
01:00:18 tightly gripped onto each other.
01:00:20 The largest investment project in the history
01:00:22 of Los Angeles County was born.
01:00:24 No one knew that this investment project
01:00:26 was only Kevin Bennett's first step against
01:00:28 Bennett family. Bob Pierce,
01:00:30 who was at the side, couldn't help but to
01:00:32 sigh and secretly feel sorry for his patriarch.
01:00:34 As for the
01:00:36 details of the cooperation,
01:00:38 it was naturally Bob Pierce's responsibility.
01:00:40 As the one in charge,
01:00:42 Kevin Bennett only needed to fix the general direction.
01:00:44 Thus,
01:00:46 after the Henderson family finished eating,
01:00:48 Kevin quickly went down the hill.
01:00:50 He wanted to pick Claire Wright up from work
01:00:52 as it had already become Kevin's habit.
01:00:54 After Kevin left, Martin
01:00:56 narrowed his eyes and said to his men,
01:00:58 "Joe, go investigate this
01:01:00 Kevin Bennett. I want to know all his
01:01:02 information. Remember, you must
01:01:04 conduct an investigation secretly.
01:01:06 Don't let him find out."
01:01:08 "Yes, Master Martin."
01:01:10 "Ah." Joe respectfully nodded
01:01:12 and left. A serious
01:01:14 expression flashed across Martin Henderson's face.
01:01:16 Since he was able to change from
01:01:18 a ruffian into a richest man in the city,
01:01:20 it was natural that he was a scheming
01:01:22 person.
01:01:24 From the first moment Martin Henderson saw
01:01:26 Kevin Bennett, he realized that Kevin
01:01:28 was not simple. He was not the arrogant
01:01:30 and conceited young master that he had met
01:01:32 before. On the contrary,
01:01:34 the young Bennett was very
01:01:36 smart, acting like he had no logic
01:01:38 but in fact, he was very calculating.
01:01:40 It even made Martin Henderson
01:01:42 feel like he was dealing with a tiger.
01:01:44 Therefore, Martin Henderson
01:01:46 naturally had to investigate what kind of
01:01:48 person Kevin was.
01:01:50 "Phil, go to the garage,
01:01:52 take out the car I carried a few days ago
01:01:54 and give it to young master Kevin."
01:01:56 Martin Henderson instructed again.
01:01:58 He was very clear that for people like Kevin Bennett,
01:02:00 the face was more important than
01:02:02 anything. The security guard
01:02:04 under his hand had not only destroyed an electric
01:02:06 scooter, but he had also destroyed
01:02:08 Kevin Bennett's face.
01:02:10 Therefore, even though Kevin Bennett had
01:02:12 indicated that he would not pursue the matter,
01:02:14 Martin Henderson was still a bit worried.
01:02:16 He wanted to please Kevin by giving
01:02:18 him a luxurious car, so the matter
01:02:20 regarding Ronan Jenkins could be completely
01:02:22 resolved. Thinking of
01:02:24 this, Martin Henderson could
01:02:26 not help but feel his heart ache.
01:02:28 If that idiot, Ronan
01:02:30 Jenkins, didn't kick out Kevin
01:02:32 Bennett's electric scooter, then he wouldn't
01:02:34 need to give Kevin Bennett his
01:02:36 $20 million super luxurious
01:02:38 sports car as an apology.
01:02:40 The only person in the world who
01:02:42 would trade an electric scooter for a luxurious
01:02:44 sports car was probably
01:02:46 Kevin Bennett. Martin
01:02:48 Henderson even had the heart to kill Ronan
01:02:50 Jenkins now. Kevin
01:02:52 did not know that Martin had been thinking so much
01:02:54 after he left. If Kevin Bennett
01:02:56 knew about this, he would be grinning
01:02:58 from ear to ear. Martin Henderson
01:03:00 was too cautious.
01:03:02 U.S. Bank Tower was the tallest building
01:03:04 in Sacramento City, and it was also
01:03:06 the headquarters of Wright Family Company.
01:03:08 It was noon. Claire Wright
01:03:10 was standing at the entrance of the building.
01:03:12 She had looked at the entrance of the company several
01:03:14 times, but still didn't see Kevin.
01:03:16 Usually, Kevin was very
01:03:18 punctual. As long as she left work,
01:03:20 he would stand by the door unmoving,
01:03:22 waiting to pick her up.
01:03:24 Why was it late today?
01:03:26 "Isn't this our great beauty,
01:03:28 Wright? Are you waiting for Kevin
01:03:30 to come to ride his electric scooter to
01:03:32 pick you up?" A sinister voice
01:03:34 sounded from behind Claire Wright frowned.
01:03:36 She didn't need to turn around to know
01:03:38 that the person behind her was her cousin.
01:03:40 Claire didn't say anything.
01:03:42 She had a bad relationship
01:03:44 with her since she was young.
01:03:46 When she grew up, Taylor Wright had
01:03:48 repeatedly caused trouble for her.
01:03:50 Taylor Wright wore a red bohemian
01:03:52 dress with delicate makeup on her face.
01:03:54 Although her face could be considered
01:03:56 pretty, it was still inferior to Claire Wright.
01:03:58 Seeing Claire ignore her,
01:04:00 Taylor did not get angry.
01:04:02 Instead, she
01:04:04 sighed. "I feel
01:04:06 that our fate is a bit strange at times.
01:04:08 When we were young,
01:04:10 you were the prettiest girl in our Wright family.
01:04:12 And our grandfather said that
01:04:14 in the future, you would marry a rich family
01:04:16 boy wearing a blue tuxedo
01:04:18 and become the happiest girl in our Wright family.
01:04:20 You didn't let Grandpa down.
01:04:22 You did marry a man
01:04:24 wearing a blue outfit. But
01:04:26 unfortunately, it's not a tuxedo.
01:04:28 It's his work outfit, and he's a delivery boy.
01:04:30 Ha ha ha!"

01:04:40 Episode 8. A Loud Slap.
01:04:42 Claire Wright
01:04:44 pursed her lips tightly,
01:04:46 not saying a word.
01:04:48 She knew that Taylor Wright had always been brooding
01:04:50 over the matter of her being the number one
01:04:52 beauty in the Wright family.
01:04:54 So as long as she found the chance,
01:04:56 she would ridicule her.
01:04:58 Claire had long since gotten used to it.
01:05:00 Claire remained silent, while Taylor
01:05:02 became even more proud of herself.
01:05:04 "Claire, when will Kevin buy
01:05:06 a car for you? He can't possibly
01:05:08 let you ride in the back of an electric scooter
01:05:10 every day under such hot weather.
01:05:12 Life is too hard for you."
01:05:14 "Does it have anything
01:05:16 to do with you?" Claire glanced at Taylor
01:05:18 in disgust. The corner
01:05:20 of Taylor's mouth lifted as she pretended
01:05:22 to have understood. "I'm sorry,
01:05:24 Claire. I forgot that Kevin is
01:05:26 a delivery boy. His salary is
01:05:28 very low. If nothing goes
01:05:30 wrong, he won't be able to afford
01:05:32 a car in his entire life."
01:05:34 Claire gritted her teeth in anger.
01:05:36 Taylor belittled Kevin in front of her,
01:05:38 which made her angry.
01:05:40 However, she couldn't refute it because
01:05:42 what Taylor said was the truth.
01:05:44 Kevin Bennett's salary, not to mention
01:05:46 buying a car, just maintaining a
01:05:48 normal life was difficult.
01:05:50 "Claire, how about you don't let
01:05:52 Kevin deliver takeout and let him work under
01:05:54 my husband? My husband's
01:05:56 company has been recruiting security
01:05:58 guards recently and the salary is not
01:06:00 bad. At least it's better than
01:06:02 delivering takeout.
01:06:04 Kevin Bennett can still hope to buy a car
01:06:06 after working hard for
01:06:08 eight to ten years."
01:06:10 Taylor sneered. Unlike
01:06:12 Claire, she had a good husband.
01:06:14 Her husband was the HR manager of the company
01:06:16 at such a young age.
01:06:18 His salary was a million dollars a year,
01:06:20 so she was very confident
01:06:22 in front of Claire every time.
01:06:24 Claire Wright simply turned her head
01:06:26 away, not looking at Taylor Wright.
01:06:28 Taylor snorted disdainfully,
01:06:30 but Claire ignored her.
01:06:32 There was no point in continuing to mock Claire.
01:06:34 At this moment,
01:06:36 a black Audi A8 drove
01:06:38 into the company's main entrance.
01:06:40 Behind the Audi A8, there was also
01:06:42 a Toyota 4Runner.
01:06:44 Taylor was very happy to see the Audi A8.
01:06:46 "Claire, my husband came
01:06:48 to pick me up. Stay here and
01:06:50 bask in the sun."
01:06:52 Taylor walked toward Audi A8 with a
01:06:54 complacent look on her face.
01:06:56 Claire bit her lips as she glanced at Taylor Wright.
01:06:58 It was impossible for her to not
01:07:00 be jealous. Taylor's husband
01:07:02 would come to pick her up every day in an
01:07:04 Audi A8 of nearly one million,
01:07:06 while her husband could only
01:07:08 ride an electric bike.
01:07:10 Sometimes when it rains, they get wet.
01:07:12 The black Audi
01:07:14 stopped in front of the company's entrance,
01:07:16 and the window slowly rolled down,
01:07:18 revealing Derek Smith's handsome face.
01:07:20 "Hubby!"
01:07:22 Taylor Wright rushed forward and kissed Derek
01:07:24 Smith on the cheek. "Taylor,
01:07:26 get in the car."
01:07:28 Derek Smith smiled and glanced at Claire.
01:07:30 A trace of amazement flashed
01:07:32 in the depths of his eyes.
01:07:34 Three years had passed, and Claire was still
01:07:36 as beautiful as ever.
01:07:38 Not only did years not leave any traces on her face,
01:07:40 they even added to her mature charm.
01:07:42 Next, he looked
01:07:44 at Taylor beside him.
01:07:46 Although she looked pretty with thick makeup,
01:07:48 she was on a completely different level compared
01:07:50 to Claire, who was as beautiful as the moon.
01:07:52 "Only I was a step
01:07:54 earlier than that trash!"
01:07:56 Derek Smith thought in his heart.
01:07:58 Three years ago,
01:08:00 the person he had first taken a fancy to
01:08:02 was Claire, not Taylor.
01:08:04 However, just when
01:08:06 he was about to pursue Claire,
01:08:08 the news suddenly came out that Claire was married.
01:08:10 Claire Wright was married to
01:08:12 a delivery man. At that time,
01:08:14 Derek Smith felt that the sky
01:08:16 had fallen. However, what
01:08:18 had happened had left him with no other choice.
01:08:20 Helpless, he could
01:08:22 only choose Taylor.
01:08:24 However, in his heart, he had never been
01:08:26 able to let Claire go.
01:08:28 Even after he heard that Claire wasn't living
01:08:30 happily ever after, she got married.
01:08:32 He had thought of divorcing Taylor
01:08:34 Wright and once again pursuing Claire.
01:08:36 However, this sort of thing could only
01:08:38 be imagined. Derek Smith
01:08:40 sighed and was about to leave when he
01:08:42 saw a familiar figure in the rearview mirror.
01:08:44 "Why is he here?"
01:08:46 Derek Smith smiled playfully.
01:08:48 "Claire, I'm sorry I'm late."
01:08:50 Kevin Bennett got out of the taxi,
01:08:52 wiped the sweat from his forehead,
01:08:54 and headed straight for Claire.
01:08:56 "I'm fine." Seeing that Kevin
01:08:58 didn't ride an electric bike today,
01:09:00 a hint of doubt flashed across Claire Wright's
01:09:02 eyes, but she didn't say anything.
01:09:04 "Let's go back." Kevin Bennett
01:09:06 laughed. "Kevin,
01:09:08 where's your scooter?"
01:09:10 Taylor's sinister voice sounded.
01:09:12 In the past, when Kevin Bennett came to
01:09:14 pick up Claire Wright, he would at least ride
01:09:16 an electric bike. Today,
01:09:18 he didn't even have an electric bike.
01:09:20 Could it be that they were ready to walk?
01:09:22 Kevin narrowed his eyes
01:09:24 and said lightly, "Does it have
01:09:26 anything to do with you?"
01:09:28 He knew that Taylor did not like Claire,
01:09:30 so he would not give her any face.
01:09:32 Taylor was speechless.
01:09:34 They were indeed husband and wife, and
01:09:36 with the words, they said we were all
01:09:38 the same. However, she was
01:09:40 polite to Claire and not Kevin.
01:09:42 "How can you speak like that?
01:09:44 You have no rules! Do you
01:09:46 not know that I'm your cousin?
01:09:48 No manners!"
01:09:50 "Taylor, be civilized when you speak."
01:09:52 Before Kevin could say anything,
01:09:54 Claire already stood up with a cold
01:09:56 expression. "What's wrong?
01:09:58 Kevin is trash. Why aren't
01:10:00 you letting people criticize him?"
01:10:02 Before Taylor could finish her sentence,
01:10:04 a handprint appeared on her face.
01:10:06 Taylor was stunned.
01:10:08 Derek Smith was stunned, and Kevin
01:10:10 was also stunned. Only
01:10:12 Claire gritted her teeth and said with a cold
01:10:14 expression, "You're not allowed
01:10:16 to say he's trash again!"
01:10:18 She was hit?
01:10:20 Taylor Wright was stunned.
01:10:22 "Stinking
01:10:24 bitch! I'll kill you!"
01:10:26 After recovering from her shock,
01:10:28 Taylor screamed and pounced on Claire
01:10:30 with bloodshot eyes.
01:10:32 At this moment, Kevin couldn't stand
01:10:34 there and watch any longer. He quickly
01:10:36 protected Claire behind him.
01:10:38 Derek Smith also walked over with a gloomy
01:10:40 face. He originally wanted to
01:10:42 go back and help, but when he saw
01:10:44 the tall Kevin Bennett, he stopped
01:10:46 and pulled Taylor back. If they were
01:10:48 to fight, Derek knew that he would have
01:10:50 no chance of winning against Kevin,
01:10:52 who had been training all year round.
01:10:54 Thus, Derek did not want to lose face
01:10:56 here. "Derek
01:10:58 Smith, what are you pulling me for?
01:11:00 This bitch beat your wife. You're not helping
01:11:02 me, but you're even pulling me?"
01:11:04 Taylor Wright screamed hysterically
01:11:06 without a trace of elegance.
01:11:08 This scene attracted quite a few employees
01:11:10 to watch. Derek Smith's expression
01:11:12 was as dark as water and he felt
01:11:14 very ashamed. "Enough!"
01:11:16 Derek Smith pulled Taylor
01:11:18 Wright and glared at her viciously.
01:11:20 "Claire Wright hit me!"
01:11:22 Kevin Bennett's expression turned
01:11:24 cold. He suddenly walked forward
01:11:26 and slapped Taylor Wright.
01:11:28 He didn't mind Taylor Wright calling him
01:11:30 trash, but if she insulted Claire,
01:11:32 he definitely wouldn't allow it.
01:11:34 His slap was much heavier than
01:11:36 Claire Wright's earlier one. A few
01:11:38 handprints appeared on Taylor Wright's face.
01:11:40 "Kevin, you useless trash!
01:11:42 If you dare to hit me, and Claire
01:11:44 dares to hit me, you dare to do it too?
01:11:46 I'll fight you to the death!"
01:11:48 Touching her burning
01:11:50 face, Taylor went completely
01:11:52 crazy. She immediately got rid of
01:11:54 Derek Smith and pounced on Kevin Bennett.
01:11:56 Taylor Wright was petite,
01:11:58 but she was no match for Kevin Bennett.
01:12:00 He slapped her again and again,
01:12:02 almost causing her to faint on the spot.
01:12:04 "Hubby! Hubby!
01:12:06 He hit me! I'm not going to live!"
01:12:08 Taylor was on the verge of collapse.
01:12:10 "If you can't control your
01:12:12 stinky mouth any longer, I don't mind
01:12:14 breaking it!" Kevin said coldly.
01:12:16 The cold glint in his eyes
01:12:18 made people believe that he would do that.
01:12:20 This scene stunned many people
01:12:22 nearby. Even Derek Smith
01:12:24 and Claire Wright were stunned.
01:12:26 [Music]
01:12:32 Episode 9.
01:12:34 The Luxurious Ride
01:12:36 "Kevin Bennett!
01:12:38 What are you doing?" Derek Smith
01:12:40 wanted to rush up and beat up Kevin,
01:12:42 but he retreated when he saw Kevin Bennett's
01:12:44 eyes. However,
01:12:46 now that his wife had been beaten up,
01:12:48 he had no choice but to help her.
01:12:50 After stuttering for a long time,
01:12:52 he finally yelled, "K-Kevin Bennett!
01:12:54 You-you're useless trash!
01:12:56 How can you hit a woman? Are you
01:12:58 even a man?" "I don't
01:13:00 hit women, but is Taylor a woman?"
01:13:02 Kevin Bennett sneered.
01:13:04 "I've wanted to tear off her
01:13:06 stinky mouth for a long time. It's just
01:13:08 a warning this time. If there's a next time,
01:13:10 it won't be so simple.
01:13:12 And you, if you are unconvinced,
01:13:14 come and find me at any time.
01:13:16 However, if I find out that
01:13:18 you guys are secretly taking revenge on Claire,
01:13:20 I don't mind sending you to hell."
01:13:22 Derrick Smith's
01:13:24 expression changed. He didn't know
01:13:26 why, but he felt a terrifying
01:13:28 aura coming from Kevin Bennett.
01:13:30 Derrick even smelled danger,
01:13:32 and he was a little scared.
01:13:34 He couldn't help but suspect, "Was this
01:13:36 person still the useless trash
01:13:38 Kevin Bennett from before?"
01:13:40 After Kevin Bennett said this,
01:13:42 he walked over to Claire Wright and smiled.
01:13:44 "Claire,
01:13:46 let's go home." "Yes!"
01:13:48 Claire Wright nodded obediently.
01:13:50 She was also surprised
01:13:52 by Kevin Bennett's performance today.
01:13:54 She even felt that Kevin Bennett had become
01:13:56 a completely different person when he
01:13:58 said those words just now.
01:14:00 She could not understand.
01:14:02 Fighting someone and threatening them was not
01:14:04 something Kevin Bennett could do in the past.
01:14:06 However, what made her
01:14:08 secretly happy was that everything
01:14:10 Kevin Bennett did was for her.
01:14:12 They had just taken a few steps
01:14:14 when an ear-piercing boom came from afar.
01:14:16 A few seconds later,
01:14:18 a black car appeared in front of them.
01:14:20 The deep sound waves caused
01:14:24 people's eardrums to vibrate.
01:14:26 The technological feeling of the streamlined
01:14:31 car was dazzling in the sunlight.
01:14:33 The black super run
01:14:35 gave off a soul-stirring aura
01:14:37 like an emperor.
01:14:39 In just an instant, everyone's line of sight
01:14:41 was attracted by the black bolt of lightning.
01:14:43 In front of this black lightning,
01:14:45 everything seemed to lose its luster.
01:14:47 Bugatti La Roi de l'Union Noire!
01:14:49 One of the most expensive cars in the world.
01:14:53 Those who understood cars
01:14:55 cried out in alarm
01:14:57 and gasped for breath.
01:14:59 However, even more people were staring
01:15:01 unblinkingly at the black lightning.
01:15:03 They wanted to know why such a car
01:15:05 would appear in the Wright family company.
01:15:07 Taylor Wright, who was still yelling,
01:15:09 immediately stopped crying.
01:15:11 Her face was nervous because the swanky
01:15:13 black car was about to hit her.
01:15:15 She was nervous because the swanky
01:15:17 black car was heading in their direction.
01:15:19 It stopped.
01:15:21 It stopped!
01:15:23 Taylor Wright's breathing became more rapid.
01:15:25 Derek Smith also swallowed his saliva.
01:15:27 The door opened
01:15:29 and a man in a flowery shirt
01:15:31 got out and walked toward them.
01:15:33 Derek took a deep breath
01:15:35 and started to think rapidly,
01:15:37 recalling if he had seen this man before.
01:15:39 "Sir,"
01:15:41 Derek Smith smiled and prepared
01:15:43 to say hello to the man in the flowery shirt.
01:15:45 But right after,
01:15:47 the smile on his face froze.
01:15:49 The man in the flowery shirt
01:15:51 didn't even look at him
01:15:53 as he walked behind him.
01:15:55 Derek Smith immediately turned around
01:15:57 and saw a scene he would never forget.
01:15:59 The man in the flowery shirt
01:16:01 bowed to Kevin Bennett,
01:16:03 who came down from the Bugatti.
01:16:05 Derek Smith
01:16:07 rubbed his eyes and felt that he must
01:16:09 have seen wrongly.
01:16:11 "Mr. Kevin, you forgot to open your car."
01:16:13 Phil was very respectful
01:16:19 and said this with a great deal of skill.
01:16:21 He didn't directly say that the car
01:16:23 was given to him by Martin Henderson,
01:16:25 but that Kevin forgot to drive away.
01:16:27 This meant that the car belonged
01:16:29 to Kevin Bennett,
01:16:31 and he had no reason to reject it.
01:16:33 Kevin was speechless.
01:16:35 How could he forget about his car?
01:16:37 If he had forgotten his car,
01:16:39 it was his electric scooter,
01:16:41 not the supercar in front of him.
01:16:43 Martin Henderson was good at gifting things,
01:16:45 and Kevin Bennett had no reason to refuse.
01:16:47 After all,
01:16:49 no one would hurt a smiling person.
01:16:51 "Sorry, I was in a hurry to leave.
01:16:53 Thank you for bringing my car."
01:16:55 Kevin Bennett took the key seriously.
01:16:57 "Mr. Kevin is too polite."
01:16:59 Phil smiled and said.
01:17:01 Derek Smith and Taylor Wright
01:17:03 were dumbstruck
01:17:05 when Kevin Bennett received the key.
01:17:07 All the Wright family employees
01:17:09 in the courtyard had their mouths
01:17:11 wide open as if two eggs
01:17:13 could be stuffed inside.
01:17:15 This godly vehicle was Kevin Bennett's?
01:17:17 Claire Wright's face
01:17:19 was also filled with astonishment.
01:17:21 She knew Kevin Bennett the best.
01:17:23 She would never believe that Kevin Bennett
01:17:25 was the owner of this car.
01:17:27 "Come on, Claire. Let's go home."
01:17:29 Seeing that Claire Wright
01:17:31 was still in a daze,
01:17:33 Kevin Bennett waved his hand and said.
01:17:35 Claire Wright's face reddened
01:17:37 before she finally reacted.
01:17:39 Kevin Bennett opened the car door
01:17:41 for Claire Wright,
01:17:43 who sat obediently
01:17:45 in the front passenger seat.
01:17:47 Afterwards, Kevin Bennett
01:17:49 looked at Derek Smith and Taylor Wright
01:17:51 with a smile that was not a smile
01:17:53 and sat in the driver's seat.
01:17:55 Amidst the rumbling sound waves,
01:17:57 the black lightning left.
01:17:59 "Impossible!
01:18:01 That trash must have rented this car!"
01:18:03 Taylor Wright didn't care
01:18:05 about the humiliation she had just received
01:18:07 and started cursing again.
01:18:09 No matter what,
01:18:11 she didn't believe that the car belonged to Kevin Bennett.
01:18:13 "Idiot!
01:18:15 That car was not a rental!"
01:18:17 Derek Smith gritted his teeth and said.
01:18:19 His eyes were filled with fear.
01:18:21 He was sure about the car.
01:18:23 He was an employee of Martin Henderson's company.
01:18:25 Three days ago,
01:18:27 he saw Martin Henderson drive this car.
01:18:29 According to the company's management,
01:18:31 Martin Henderson bought this car recently
01:18:33 worth $20 million.
01:18:35 There are only limited edition overruns
01:18:37 in the USA.
01:18:39 Martin Henderson was going to give this car
01:18:41 to a big leader in the nation
01:18:43 as a birthday present.
01:18:45 But today,
01:18:47 this car was in the hands of Kevin Bennett.
01:18:49 Derek didn't know why,
01:18:51 but he was sure that Kevin didn't rent this car
01:18:53 because it was impossible.
01:18:55 "Hubby, what do you mean?"
01:18:57 Taylor Wright was stunned.
01:18:59 "It wasn't a rental.
01:19:01 Could it be Kevin Bennett bought the car?"
01:19:03 "What I mean is that you should avoid
01:19:05 provoking Claire and Kevin in the future!"
01:19:07 "I advise you to forget about getting your revenge,"
01:19:09 Derek Smith said coldly.
01:19:11 After speaking,
01:19:13 he sat in the driver's seat
01:19:15 without caring about Taylor Wright.
01:19:17 Taylor Wright stomped her feet in anger
01:19:19 and followed him.
01:19:21 Claire Wright glanced at Kevin Bennett in the car
01:19:23 and said,
01:19:25 "Don't do that anymore."
01:19:27 "What is it?"
01:19:29 Kevin Bennett was stunned for a moment before he replied.
01:19:31 "Rent a car!"
01:19:33 Claire Wright glared at Kevin Bennett
01:19:35 snappily and said,
01:19:37 "I know you don't want to embarrass me,
01:19:39 but you don't need to rent a car.
01:19:41 Renting one like this would probably cost
01:19:43 a lot of money."
01:19:45 Kevin Bennett had a weird expression on his face.
01:19:47 He was thinking about how to explain
01:19:49 the car to Claire Wright,
01:19:51 but it turned out that Claire Wright
01:19:53 had found a good reason for herself.
01:19:55 "I didn't spend too much money,
01:19:57 but don't worry. I won't do that anymore,"
01:19:59 Kevin Bennett said without changing his expression.
01:20:01 "That's good."
01:20:03 Claire Wright turned her head,
01:20:05 her expression as serious as before.
01:20:07 However, the corners of her lips
01:20:09 lifted into an imperceptible smile.
01:20:11 Bob Pierce was very efficient.
01:20:13 In less than half a day,
01:20:15 he had already finalized
01:20:17 the details of his cooperation
01:20:19 with Martin Henderson.
01:20:21 Bennett family investment of $35 billion,
01:20:23 Martin Henderson investment of $15 billion,
01:20:25 the two sides established
01:20:27 a tourism development company.
01:20:29 The company was named Lux Travel.
01:20:31 Lux Travel Corporation
01:20:33 would construct a large vacation area
01:20:35 in Beverly Hills
01:20:37 and completely develop the Beverly Hills
01:20:39 scenic area.
01:20:41 This news quickly spread through Los Angeles County,
01:20:43 detonating all the streets and alleys.
01:20:45 Episode 10.
01:20:51 It's All About Money
01:20:53 An investment of $50 billion
01:20:55 could be unprecedented
01:20:57 in the Beverly Hills.
01:20:59 It would bring about an earth-shattering change
01:21:01 to the city.
01:21:03 But what caused the business community
01:21:05 to become even more shocked
01:21:07 was that the person leading this project
01:21:09 was from the Bennett family,
01:21:11 the most powerful Bennett family in the county.
01:21:13 The family's influence was spread
01:21:15 throughout the military, political,
01:21:17 and merchant realms,
01:21:19 and it was this wealthy family
01:21:21 that stood at the peak of the USA.
01:21:23 Countless merchants were envious
01:21:25 and began asking all over
01:21:27 to find out if they could participate
01:21:29 in the development of Beverly Hills
01:21:31 because this was a project invested in
01:21:33 by Bennett family.
01:21:35 The Bennett family's foresight and wealth,
01:21:37 which was comparable to a nation's,
01:21:39 meant that this project could not be a loss.
01:21:41 It would only make money,
01:21:43 and it would also make a huge profit.
01:21:45 Furthermore,
01:21:47 the Bennett family was the richest man in the city
01:21:49 and Martin Henderson.
01:21:51 This matter had even given many merchants
01:21:53 a tranquilizer, allowing them to determine
01:21:55 that the Beverly Hills project
01:21:57 would not lose anything.
01:21:59 As long as they are involved in the project,
01:22:01 they will make a lot of money.
01:22:03 It was precisely because of this
01:22:05 that many people had such thoughts.
01:22:07 On the second day,
01:22:09 the threshold of Lux Travel Corporation
01:22:11 was broken by merchants
01:22:13 who had heard the news.
01:22:15 They were all here to seek cooperation,
01:22:17 and they were all very humble.
01:22:19 Even several companies
01:22:21 say they need to be given a chance to participate
01:22:23 even if they don't have a dividend.
01:22:25 After hearing the news,
01:22:27 Kevin Bennett was stunned.
01:22:29 He never expected such a situation
01:22:31 to happen.
01:22:33 Everyone felt that the investment from Beverly Hills
01:22:35 was a business that could earn money
01:22:37 without losing anything.
01:22:39 However, only Kevin Bennett
01:22:41 knew that this investment
01:22:43 was just for fun.
01:22:45 Even in his plan, this investment would be a loss.
01:22:47 He had never thought
01:22:49 about making money.
01:22:51 However, these merchants took this project seriously.
01:22:53 The fame of the Bennett family
01:22:55 was too great
01:22:57 and so great that these merchants
01:22:59 had to ignore all risks.
01:23:01 Wright Family Headquarters,
01:23:03 LA Tower, buildings top floor,
01:23:05 meeting room.
01:23:07 Less than half an hour after Lux Travel Corporation
01:23:09 was announced to have been developed,
01:23:11 an emergency meeting was held
01:23:13 on Wright Family.
01:23:15 Wright's LA Tower narrowed his eyes
01:23:17 and sat on the director's seat.
01:23:19 There were two rows of other Wright Family members,
01:23:21 and everyone's expression
01:23:23 was extremely serious.
01:23:25 "Have you heard
01:23:27 about the Beverly Hills Resort?"
01:23:29 Wright's LA Tower opened his eyes
01:23:31 and said lightly.
01:23:33 "Yes," everyone nodded,
01:23:35 but their expressions were different.
01:23:37 "Within these three days,
01:23:39 no matter what methods you use,
01:23:41 you must let our Wright Family
01:23:43 participate in the Beverly Hills project."
01:23:45 Logan Wright glanced at everyone
01:23:47 and said with a hint of unquestionable tone.
01:23:49 The members of the Wright Family
01:23:51 had troubled looks on their faces
01:23:53 as they lowered their heads in silence.
01:23:55 "Dad, this is probably
01:23:57 not too realistic."
01:23:59 After a long while,
01:24:01 Trevor Wright finally spoke
01:24:03 in a muffled voice.
01:24:05 He was the eldest son of Wright.
01:24:07 Logan was also the next
01:24:09 patriarch of the Wright Family.
01:24:11 No one knew the situation in the Wright Family
01:24:13 better than he did.
01:24:15 The current Wright Family had long
01:24:17 since been reduced to the second-tier family
01:24:19 of Sacramento.
01:24:21 Ever since Country Garden was shot
01:24:23 and two large real estate groups
01:24:25 established their Sacramento,
01:24:27 the real estate industry of the Wright Family
01:24:29 had become discouraged from the impact,
01:24:31 and their value had dropped
01:24:33 by leaps and bounds.
01:24:35 The rural buildings were in a state
01:24:37 where no one cared about them.
01:24:39 The current Wright Family
01:24:41 was just an empty shell.
01:24:43 Other than a few professional engineering teams,
01:24:45 there was nothing else that could be taken out.
01:24:47 With this kind of Wright Family,
01:24:49 even if he were to cooperate
01:24:51 with the Lux Travel Estate,
01:24:53 he probably wouldn't even be able
01:24:55 to enter through their doors.
01:24:57 "Unrealistic,"
01:24:59 Logan lightly tapped on the table,
01:25:01 causing the hearts of the Wright Family
01:25:03 members to tighten.
01:25:05 "Then, everyone's year-end bonus
01:25:07 will be halved,"
01:25:09 Logan said lightly.
01:25:11 Hearing this, the faces of everyone
01:25:13 in the Wright Family greatly changed.
01:25:15 "Halved the year-end bonus?
01:25:17 How are they going to live?"
01:25:19 Wright Family was a family business,
01:25:21 and in this business,
01:25:23 every employee was related
01:25:25 to Wright Family.
01:25:27 Halving the annual bonus
01:25:29 was equivalent to deducting
01:25:31 half of everyone's salary.
01:25:33 Trevor Wright originally got
01:25:35 $20 million a year,
01:25:37 but if the year-end bonus were halved,
01:25:39 then the amount he got would only be $10 million.
01:25:41 Logan was angry.
01:25:43 Logan would keep its promise
01:25:45 if the Wright Family couldn't participate
01:25:47 in this time's program.
01:25:49 At that time, the ones who would
01:25:51 suffer would be them.
01:25:53 For a time, many of
01:25:55 the Wright Family members were extremely
01:25:57 anxious as they discussed amongst themselves.
01:25:59 They intended to discuss
01:26:01 a way to participate in the projects
01:26:03 at the Beverly Hills Resort.
01:26:05 It had to be said,
01:26:07 it was even harder than ascending to the heavens.
01:26:09 Because the current Wright Family
01:26:11 was too weak,
01:26:13 they did not have the qualifications
01:26:15 to cooperate with Lux Travel Corporation.
01:26:17 Logan Wright looked at Trevor Wright
01:26:19 with a grumbling look.
01:26:21 He didn't understand why his father
01:26:23 wanted to be the first one to take the lead.
01:26:25 Now that he had angered Logan,
01:26:27 everyone was going to suffer.
01:26:29 Seeing the faces
01:26:31 of the clan members darken,
01:26:33 Logan seemed to realize that he was being
01:26:35 a little too harsh.
01:26:37 He relaxed his tone and said,
01:26:39 "Wright Family members,
01:26:41 no matter who it is,
01:26:43 as long as they can form a cooperative relationship
01:26:45 with Lux Travel Corporation,
01:26:47 I will reward them
01:26:49 with the building on the east
01:26:51 side of the city."
01:26:53 The building on the east side of the city?
01:26:55 Many members of the Wright Family
01:26:57 immediately widened their eyes.
01:26:59 "Grandpa put in
01:27:01 a lot of effort this time.
01:27:03 That building on the east side of the city,
01:27:05 if it is sold, well,
01:27:07 it would sell for at least 30 million dollars,
01:27:09 right?"
01:27:11 "Yeah, but I don't think Lux Travel Corporation
01:27:13 will cooperate with our Wright Family."
01:27:15 After Logan finished speaking,
01:27:17 many members of the Wright Family
01:27:19 showed different reactions.
01:27:21 Some were excited as if they had been
01:27:23 injected with chicken blood,
01:27:25 while others felt dejected,
01:27:27 thinking that this was an impossible mission.
01:27:29 Logan was a typical person
01:27:31 who would suppress others first
01:27:33 before giving rewards to others.
01:27:35 Using 30 million dollars
01:27:37 worth of buildings as a reward
01:27:39 excited many Wright Family members.
01:27:41 Claire Wright's beautiful
01:27:43 eyes also lit up.
01:27:45 However, when she thought about the
01:27:47 barren resources that her father controlled,
01:27:49 her gaze dimmed.
01:27:51 Among Logan's three sons,
01:27:53 Alan Wright was the least valued.
01:27:55 The few engineering teams
01:27:57 Trevor Wright had with him
01:27:59 were the veteran engineering teams
01:28:01 of the Wright Family.
01:28:03 They had a lot of experience,
01:28:05 and most of the buildings in the Wright Family
01:28:07 were built by them.
01:28:09 However, the engineering team
01:28:11 Alan Wright was holding had been eliminated
01:28:13 by the Wright Family.
01:28:15 If they used this engineering team
01:28:17 to talk to the Lux Travel Corporation,
01:28:19 they would probably be laughed to death.
01:28:21 Therefore,
01:28:23 Trevor Wright and his son
01:28:25 were most likely to complete the mission.
01:28:27 As Claire Wright expected,
01:28:29 Trevor Wright patted his chest
01:28:31 and stood up, making a promise to Logan.
01:28:33 He would sleep
01:28:35 at the Lux Travel Corporation entrance tonight.
01:28:37 No matter what,
01:28:39 he would cooperate with the Lux Travel Corporation
01:28:41 to let their Wright Family
01:28:43 take the chance to become one of the top families
01:28:45 in Sacramento.
01:28:47 Logan nodded in satisfaction.
01:28:49 Claire Wright sighed,
01:28:51 feeling that the future had nothing to do with her.
01:28:53 But at this time,
01:28:55 Jack Wright spoke up.
01:28:57 "Grandfather,
01:28:59 I think, to be safe,
01:29:01 we should transfer the few engineering teams
01:29:03 in Third Uncle's hands to us.
01:29:05 When we negotiate with the Lux Travel Corporation,
01:29:07 we have more confidence."
01:29:09 Claire Wright's pretty face
01:29:13 suddenly changed color.
01:29:15 The Third Uncle that Jack Wright mentioned
01:29:17 was her father, Alan Wright.
01:29:19 Although the engineering team
01:29:21 in Alan Wright's hand was scattered,
01:29:23 that was Alan Wright's only capital.
01:29:25 If the engineering team
01:29:27 transferred over to Jack Wright,
01:29:29 it would be like sending a sheep
01:29:31 into a tiger's den.
01:29:33 Whether the negotiation with Lux Travel Corporation
01:29:35 was successful or not,
01:29:37 the engineering team
01:29:39 would not be able to get it back.
01:29:41 In the future,
01:29:43 Jack Wright would not receive any rewards
01:29:45 from the family, and they would become characters
01:29:47 on the brink of the Wright family.
01:29:49 "I don't agree!"
01:29:51 Claire Wright rejected him
01:29:53 without a second thought.
01:29:55 She didn't expect Jack Wright to be so shameless.
01:29:57 Wanting to take advantage
01:29:59 of her father's coma to seize
01:30:01 his only resource?
01:30:03 This was pushing their family to the brink of death.
