Chapter 491
Sabine and Tristan were already numb to their shock.
The six corpses lying in front of them were the hope and future of the Aker family and the Drake family!
Each of them were no weaker than Tristan, so with enough time, these two families could definitely control Starling City, and the Gelatic family was destined to perish.
But now?
All six died on the spot.
While the brother is alive and well.
"Cutting plants?" Sabine's lips were still trembling.
For that moment as he stood behind Ethan, he felt like he was looking at a god.
The aura around Ethan made his entire soul tremble.
Is he ... is he a god?
"I'm going to leave that withered plant for the two of you to take revenge" Ethan said. "I'm not interested."
If Tristan could not even handle Cade and Ian while they were still severely injured, then the Gelik family would definitely be destroyed.
Ethan's goal is to get rid of the people who brought these families together. It was enough that he had killed their next generation.
"Why are you helping us?" Sabine bit her lip. The eyes that were looking towards Ethan were still trembling.
He was unsure of what emotions he was experiencing at the moment.
There were a few surprises, some fears, and he's starting to idolize Ethan now.
He may not even know what his emotions are anymore.
"This is what Alrich used his life instead."
Ethan then put his hands behind his back and left.
Tristan's hands were still trembling and he finally snapped back to the real world after Ethan had already disappeared in the distance.
"Sir, why...why did he do this?"
What Tristan is trying to ask is why Ethan wants to uproot the Aker family and the Drake family. The six men they had hidden so carefully were clearly the hopes and future of both families.
Not even the Bell family knew about them.
If all of this did not happen and they did not have to expose these six people prematurely, then Starling City might as well not have a place for the Gelatic family in the future.
"Why…?" Sabine laughed bitterly. He won't know why.
He turned to look at Tom Foster who had not left. The meaning in his eyes was clear.
"I guess it's because his wife is on her way to Starling City, and I guess she'll be coming no later than the end of the month. Big Boss doesn't want anyone to unnecessarily stay and affect his mood" Tom Foster explained calmly.
His words were like a bolt of lightning striking the siblings head.
"He already has a woman by his side?" ask Sabine in wonder. There was a bit of disappointment in his voice.
He then quickly sorted through his thoughts and said, "There's no way a man like him doesn't have a woman by his side. She must be amazing."
"The Great Boss is the one who's after him."
Tom Foster said nothing more and left.
Sabine and Tristan are still in shock.
"If such a man ... took the initiative to pursue him, what kind of woman would he be?" Sabine muttered to herself
Tristan glanced at him and felt something. He said nothing and just shook his head.
Men like Ethan are not easily controlled by any woman. Let alone his sister – there are only a few women among the powerful families in the north who have the right to go anywhere close to Ethan.
He's too strong!
He is not at all like a normal human being. His prowess was too extraordinary for words.
He had gotten rid of the best that the Aker family and the Drake family had hidden for so many years just so that they wouldn?t affect a woman's mood?
Thinking about it is scary.
"No one can afford to offend this man" Tristan thought to himself. "And of course, no one can afford to offend his woman!"
He took a deep breath and turned to look at Sabine who was still staring into space. "Sister, let's get ready to attack."
Sabine flinched back to reality.
Ethan said it. He had gotten rid of his roots, so the next thing they had to do was get rid of Cade and Ian!
This is their chance!
He knew that Ethan had been operating quietly from the start and did not care about leaving his name in Starling City.
"Let's move!" Sabine answered immediately. "We can't let the Aker family and the Drake family stay here!"
Tom Foster says that Ethan's wife will arrive in Starling City at the end of the month. That means they have to clean up both families before the end of the month.
They could not allow the woman precious to Ethan to experience any unhappiness at all. They will not be able to bear the consequences of that.
The family began to make preparations.
Sabine called everyone together and headed towards Aker's house without hesitation.
Chapter 492
At Aker's house.
Timothy and Cade's expressions never relaxed.
They were not nervous because of the Gelik family. To them, the Gelatic family was tantamount to death.
They were now thinking about how to deal with the Drake family.
Now that both families had revealed their trump cards, all that was left to do was fight it out.
Whoever won the final battle would become the leader of Starling City's illegal circle and would be able to control all of Starling City's resources.
"After tonight, there will be a fight between the Aker family and the Drake family" Timothy said. "Once we defeat Starling City and become the northern spokesman in Starling City, then the north will support us with a large amount of resources."
"The future of the Aker family will be bright and promising, I look forward to it."
Cade moved a little and there was a sharp pain in his wound.
But compared to the future of the Aker family, these injuries were nothing.
"Ian and I are old, so we have to rely on young people for the future" Cade said. "Tonight is their chance to understand their rivals, and they have to rely on themselves to decide who will win and who will lose in the future."
They had annihilated the Gelatic family from their sight.
After all, the Gelatic family will no longer exist after tonight.
"After the Gelatic family is destroyed, we also have to fight for the assets and resources they left behind" Timothy said. "You can take responsibility for this."
Cade nodded and snorted coldly.
"Great Family? They've become history."
A figure suddenly came flying and fell on the floor and died. Head crushed!
Cade's expression changed.
"What's going on in history is the Aker family and the Drake family!"
That's the Tristan of the Gelatics.
He swung his two steel sticks violently with great ferocity.
One person flew out one after another and died on the spot.
"You're not dead!" Kade shock's. Why is Tristan still alive?
That's not possible!
Six of the best fighters from both families have joined hands. Even a grandmaster fighter would have trouble escaping, let alone Tristan.
How is Tristan still alive?
"Ck, of course I'm not dead. Are you very disappointed?"
"The ones who die are the ones from your family! Six of your best hidden fighters, your trump card! They're all dead!"
Tristan walks quickly into the living room and there is murder all over his face as he points a steel stick at Cade and Timothy. "After I finish killing you both, I go to Drake's house!"
He didn't bother to say it again. He raised his steel staff and ran towards Cade fiercely.
"You motherfucker! How dare you!"
Cade jumped from his seat. But his injuries were too serious for him to fight back completely.
Moreover, Tristan was now furious and burned with murder!
"ATTACK!!!"
He was like a caveman venting his anger.
There was no way Cade could fight this huffed madman while suffering such severe injuries.
He was not careful and could not escape in time. Tristan's steel stick landed right on his head and smashed his head into a pulp.
Red and white porridge sprayed everywhere.
"Little bag!" Timothy shouted loudly as his eyes bulged.
"Do you still have time to care about others?"
Tristan did not even bother to glance at Cade a second time after banging his head inside. He raised his bat and headed towards Timothy.
His father died because of these people!
He will avenge his father tonight!
"AHHH!"
Timothy shouted loudly when he saw the steel bat coming for him, but he could not avoid it.
The bat was getting closer to his face.
Finally, there was the sound of a skull being crushed.
The explosion of his own head that broke was the last sound he heard before he died.
Upon seeing the bodies of the two brothers, Tristan trembled slightly. There was still anger in her red eyes.
"Your turn, Drake's family ..."
A legend was born tonight also in Starling City.
The deranged Tristan holds two steel sticks in his hand and kills his way to Aker's house and Drake's house. He had killed Timothy and his brother, as well as the heads of the Drake family, Charles and Ian. He had destroyed all their heads.
They have died horribly.
There were also countless casualties and deaths from both families, and they both suffered tremendous losses.
It was as if a god had descended at night and shocked the entire Starling City. No one could believe that such a thing could happen.
When the sun rose, everyone thought that the Gelatic family would definitely be destroyed.
The Gelatic Family will no longer exist in Starling City. After all, since the Drake family and the Aker family had joined hands and sent their best fighters, it was too easy for them to kill the remaining Gelatic brothers.
But in the end?
Six fighters from two families died that night.
Even the heads of their most trusted families and fighters have been killed at the hands of Tristan.
This is amazing.
Tristan immediately turned into a legend of Jalak City.
Some people said that Tristan hid his true abilities and he had reached the level of grandmaster fighting. Alrich's death had forced him to reveal his true abilities and he ended up wiping out both families.
There are also those who say that there is a mysterious figure who appears to help the Gelatik family to kill all the powerful fighters from both families.
But since the Gelatic family in the north could not send help, then who else would take such a big risk and help the Gelatic family?
Chapter 493
A legend!
Tristan has become a legend in Starling City.
From now on, Starling City only had one Gelatic family, and the Aker family and Drake family were no more.
But only Sabine and Tristan know what really happened.
What's this crap about being a legend?
The truth behind this legend is a god!
A god that no one dared to offend or cross over!
Even Tristan shuddered at the thought of how frightening Ethan's abilities were. He's not human at all. Can humans be so strong?
"Sister, what are we going to do now?" This was the question that made Tristan worried.
The Aker family and the Drake family have fallen overnight. Benjamin and Jordan Aker, as well as the rest of the Drake family, all fled north overnight.
Before long, the two families would disappear completely from Starling City.
The Gelatic family had survived, but how would they continue to live?
If they choose the wrong path, Ethan will not give them any chance at all.
"We'll follow Greencliff's model."
Sabine had been thinking about this all night.
He still doesn't understand what Ethan's trying to do. Such a man was obviously planning something big, and it was not something he could understand on his own.
But since Greencliff had become a forbidden territory as well as a rapidly advancing city, it meant that Greencliff had taken the right path.
As long as they follow in Ethan's footsteps, then there will be no problem.
At least they'll stay alive.
Sabine knows very well that Ethan is not looking for a spokesperson, unlike the game played by powerful families in the north.
All he needs is people to protect the social order. To protect ordinary people right at the bottom of society.
Ethan finds out everything that happened in Starling City on his way back.
He didn't care about how the Gelatic family was. As long as the two siblings were smart enough, they would know what to do.
"Now all of Starling City knows that the Gelatic family is the most powerful and will be the leader and controller of Starling City's illegal circle" Foster said. "But no one knows that the person behind all this is you."
"Some people will guess it right," Ethan replied calmly. "But it doesn't matter now."
…
At the same time.
The commotion in Starling City had caused a huge uproar in the north.
This was even more shocking than the Greencliff and Fairbanks revolts, and more shocking than when Master Rane died or when Broken Sword made a mess in the north.
The Gelatic family had survived despite being destined to perish.
The Aker family and the Drake family have disappeared overnight despite joining hands to destroy the Gelatik family.
It's practically a miracle.
That was amazing.
"What the hell is going on?"
At the Saxon house in the north.
The Saxons knew all about this combined effort to destroy the Gelatic family. In fact, a lot of information the Drake family got from them.
They thought that they would definitely win and they would take part of the resources of Starling City after being divided between the Drake family and the Aker family. But things turned out to be very different from what they expected.
All the important family members of the Saxon family were in the living room and their expressions were grim.
Standing in front of them was Charles' third son, Samuel Drake. He was lucky enough to escape and he looked very messy.
"Mr Saxon, you have to help the Drake family!" He fell to his knees with a thud and tears streaming down his face. "My father and my uncle all died at the hands of Tristan, and my brothers ..."
Samuel wept bitterly as he bowed to the head of the Saxon family, Harold Saxon. His head hit the floor repeatedly.
"Wake up," Harold frowned. "What happened, tell me what really happened!"
"I don't know either" Samuel clenched his teeth. "My family joined hands with the Aker family, and my brothers went with three young and highly skilled fighters from the Aker family to destroy the Gelatik family. But in the end, the six of them died!"
The expressions of the Saxon family members changed.
The Saxons and the Hale family have allowed the Drake family and the Aker family to rely on each of them as these two powerful families have taken out their ace cards to prove themselves.
Each family has three young and highly skilled fighters, which means that their supporters in the north are confident of a spokesperson in Starling City for decades to come. These young people are capable and stable, so they can reap enough benefits for families in the north.
But now they're all dead!
"Tristan.ada said Tristan Gelatik hid his true abilities and he was actually at the grandmaster level, so he managed to kill six fighters and also exterminated my family and the Aker family!"
Samuel shuddered as he said these words.
He had witnessed how Tristan used his steel staff to smash his own father's head.
The whole Saxon family fell silent.
A grandmaster would be feared even in the north. Who can deal with Tristan in Starling City now?
They miscalculated their steps.
"I don't think it's Tristan."
Suddenly a voice spoke quietly from one corner of the room. "Another person might kill those six young and highly skilled fighters."
Everyone immediately turned to look at the person who was speaking.
Chapter 494
"What empty muzzle are you talking about?" Harold's eldest son, Gage, cut in as he sat down next to Harold and frowned.
"The truth of the matter is very clear. Tristan has hidden his true abilities. If not, why else would we fail?"
He looked rather displeased, as if he was already unhappy to see Leo Saxon at such an important family gathering.
This Leo is still spouting nonsense at such an important meeting.
"Bro, I'm not saying nonsense" Leo said with a smile.
He had very delicate features and still looked very young, as if he was still a teenager.
He was the youngest of five children in the Saxon family, and had the least resources and experience.
In a world like the north where all the children had to fight desperately to become the head of the family, he was obviously too weak. His words seemed to carry no burden in the family at all.
"Not bullshit?" The second son of the Saxon family, Clint, looked at Leo. "Tell me, who is this other guy?"
Leo looked at his two older brothers.
He scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassed. "I don't know who it is, but I'm sure it's not Tristan. With such a personality, it was impossible for him to hide his true abilities."
Gage and Clint shook their heads when they heard what Leo said.
He was still too childish and stupid.
If that's not bullshit, then what?
"You can count the number of grandmasters in the north on one side, and they are all in the north when this fight happens, you can check it out easily. Are you saying that there are some other grandmaster level people who went to help the Gelatic family? ?" Clint could only ridicule his brother, "And what makes a grandmaster work so hard for a family like the Gelatic family?"
Leo backed off and did not speak anymore.
His words were weightless, so no one believed him.
"Since Father allowed you to join this meeting to listen and learn, then just listen and don't just express your opinion like that" Gage said unhappily in his voice.
The next head of the Saxon family could be himself or Clint, but definitely not Leo.
He's too childish.
"Alright, enough," Harold raised a hand to stop their quarrel.
He really felt that what Leo said made sense.
Moreover, it wasn't always easy to track where a grandmaster level fighter actually was.
There was also the possibility that it was not a grandmaster from the north. But the Gelatic family had to pay a very high price to hire such a fighter.
"We're not the only ones looking at this issue. The entire northern region is investigating this, so if there's any information, it'll leak out soon."
All of this is a mystery and no one knows at the moment.
No one could understand how the Gelatic family managed to turn things around.
All this is a miracle! It is the hand of God working!
Of course, they did not know that there was a god behind the Gelatic family.
The invincible God of War!
Everyone in the north guessed the truth behind all this. Only one person is so sure that Ethan is the man behind this.
A truly powerful northern family!
...
At the hunting house.
Thomas Hunt is in his study. His hair was a little messy and he wore a loose long-sleeved shirt as he moved his brush wildly on the paper.
The man in the suit standing beside him had a firm expression and looked as serious as ever.
"Is that really Young Master?"
He didn't get accurate information.
"If not him, then who?"
Thomas looked at the calligraphy he had just completed and frowned slightly, as if he did not like it too much. "Who else can do this? And who else is this bored?"
The man in the suit did not dare to answer.
Only Ethan's real father would dare say that he was too bored. No one else is brave.
"But why would Young Master do such a thing?" he just has to ask.
"Why?"
Thomas laughed coldly and looked at the man in the suit. "Can't you tell me?"
The man in the suit, Jack, lowered his head. "I'm really sorry, but I can't say it."
"That's because of that girl!"
Thomas scoffed and seemed to be still a little angry. He simply threw away the words he had written to the side and spread another blank piece of paper on the table and picked up the brush again.
"He cleaned Greencliff, founded Palmer Group and let the girl take control of the company and start her career."
"He cleared Fairbanks in Riverport, and it was Palmer Group's first expansion into Fairbanks."
"Then he cleared the southeast, and the Palmer Group's new product electrified the entire area."
"And now, Starling City is being cleaned up. You understand now?"
Chapter 495
These few statements from Thomas made Jack Hunt's heart shake violently.
He opened his mouth to speak but did not know what to say. Did Ethan do so much just so Diane could run the company?
Is that a joke?
Ethan is more than capable of giving Diane a company worth several hundred billion dollars. Why go through so much trouble and get Diane to work so hard?
Isn't that..isn't that too much effort for no good reason?
"Now do you also feel that punk is really too bored?"
Thomas scoffs and doesn't even want to call Ethan by name. "I don't care what he wants to do. But I want to see the girl."
No one else in the world could make Ethan do such a thing.
Even him, Ethan's biological father!
Thomas wanted to see who this extraordinary person named Diane Palmer was and wanted to know how he managed to get Ethan to treat her like this.
Jack stiffened and was a little nervous when he heard that Thomas wanted to see Diane.
"Master, Young Master said that he did not want the Hunt to enter Greencliff. Whoever's gone..."
"Whoever goes will be killed, right?"
Thomas threw a brush onto the paper and the ink immediately stained one piece of paper.
His expression was firm but also somewhat contradictory. He looked angry, yet also helpless and filled with regret.
"Even if I leave, he'll kill me too."
Thomas knows this.
Ethan would have dared to kill him.
"Master, please reconsider," Jack said in a serious voice.
He had been by Thomas' side for nearly twenty years and had protected Thomas from countless dangers, so so far no one could hurt Thomas.
But Jack doesn't have the confidence to block Ethan.
Especially since he was the Young Master of the Hunt family, the son of Thomas himself!
"I'm just saying," Thomas was so frustrated. "I know what this guy is trying to do."
She was obviously trying to take care of Diane.
She tries to make sure that Diane becomes extraordinary enough to rise above Angelica, the girl who swears to marry anyone but Ethan at the age of three.
The girl who had a high position in the north and was admired and respected by so many other young women.
But it's hard to make Angelica give up on her own accord.
Unless Diane really stood out more than Angelica, it was an impossible task.
Thomas doesn't care about any of this, because it's Ethan's business. What makes him angry now is that he wants to meet Diane but he still needs Ethan's permission.
Jack breathed a sigh of relief because Thomas was not pushy.
He picked up the pen and paper that fell to the floor and placed it back on the table.
The last time he met Ethan at Greencliff airport, he could sense that Ethan was seriously trying to kill him.
Ethan hates the Hunt family and hates Thomas to the point!
"But I still want to see the girl. If Ethan kills me, let it be."
Thomas's sudden remarks frightened Jack so much that his hands trembled and the paper fell again to the floor.
Jack gulped and his heart would jump out of his mouth.
"Mr ..." He immediately knelt down. "Sir, please reconsider this carefully!"
This is no joke!
Given Ethan's current attitude towards the Hunt family, if Thomas really dared to meet Diane in person, Ethan would take action and he would not hold back at all.
In this world, as long as Ethan wanted to kill that person, he could definitely kill him!
And because of what happened back then, Thomas was the only person Ethan wanted to kill the most!
Chapter 496
"What makes you so nervous?" Thomas glanced at Jack and snorted softly. "I just want to see the girl. Who knows? She might actually be my daughter-in-law, right? So at least I should see it."
Jack did not dare to say anything.
He would confess his daughter-in-law before making his own son admit it? Jack will faint from fear.
"If Ethan wants to kill me, then that's also liberation for me."
Thomas said these words while sighing. He blamed himself and there was also regret in that voice.
He waved his hand. "You can get out."
"Yes sir."
Jack got up and walked out of the study. He closed the door behind him carefully and sighed deeply.
This father-son relationship is really confusing.
But he was also curious about Diane. What's so different about him? How did he make Ethan treat him so carefully?
He was curious, but there was no way he would go to Greencliff just because he was curious.
If he leaves, he will die.
……
While all the powerful families in the north were still trying to guess who was the mastermind of the commotion in Starling City.
Ethan's back at Greencliff.
He did not care at all about what would happen in Starling City. If the Gelatic brother did not know how to get things done, then he would look for someone else to do the job.
As he stepped inside the house, he could smell the smell of food cooked at home.
Ethan had called earlier to tell them what time he would get home. April goes grocery shopping first thing in the morning.
"Ooh! Smells good!"
Ethan raised an eyebrow and shouted loudly, "Mom, I'm home!"
"Ethan! You're back!"
April was still holding a frying pan spatula in her hand as she ran out of the kitchen. He smiled and said, "Go and rest, I'm almost done cooking. I'll call when everything's ready!"
He turns around and notices that Tom Foster and a few others are behind Ethan.
"All of you! Stay for dinner! There's enough for everything!"
"Hoho, we're lucky!" Tom Foster said with a laugh. "I insist on coming here!"
"Oh no! My pig!"
April suddenly recalled that she was frying, and quickly ran back to the kitchen.
Ethan tells Tom Foster and the others to make themselves at home while he goes straight upstairs.
Diane was sitting in front of the mirror in the room and putting on her makeup.
Ethan knocked on the door gently. "Wife, I'm home."
"Oh no…"
Diane quickly got up when she saw that Ethan had already pushed the door open. She hasn't worn lipstick.
"Home!"
He put his hands behind his back as if he was trying to hide something.
"How are things...how are things in Starling City?"
Victoria had already called him to tell him that everything had been settled. He also tells her about how Ethan bought Star Entertainment, and even teases Diane as his female boss.
"Everything went pretty well." Ethan walked over. "What are you hiding behind you?"
"N-there's nothing."
Ethan doesn't care and extends his hand, but all he wants to do is pull Diane into his arms.
"Wife, I miss you so much."
"The movement is exposing sexual violence in order to eliminate it."
Diane leaned against Ethan's chest. He had been sleeping alone for a few days now and he was not used to it.
The feeling of being in Ethan's arms is so much fun.
He was about to say something when he suddenly realized that the thing he was holding in his hand had disappeared and Ethan was holding onto it now.
"Lipstick?" Ethan's surprised. "We're going to have dinner soon, so why bother applying lipstick?"
Diane's face instantly turned as red as an apple.
She was very beautiful and her skin was as smooth as baby skin. Her naked face was already pretty enough to make anyone her age faint.
To Ethan, she was the prettiest and no one else could compare to her.
"Victoria gave it to me," Diane bit her lips gently and her voice became softer. "He said that if a girl applied this particular color, men would want to kiss her more."
Ethan tried not to laugh.
She put the lipstick back on the dresser, then took Diane and sat on the bed.
He leaned over and kissed her lips without hesitation.
Dian's mind went blank.
"Even without lipstick, I still love kissing you." Ethan looked at Diane's timid face. "The original taste remains the sweetest."
Diane is now overwhelmed by her longing for Ethan.
He looked straight into Ethan's eyes and the sparkle in his eyes was different from before.
If Ethan wanted to go any further now, he would not have turned him down again.
Is this what is meant by absence that brings the heart closer?
Chapter 497
"Ethan! Diane! Meal time!"
April calls from below.
Diane wakes up from her daze but stays in Ethan's arms.
"Hubby, I want to tell you something."
Ethan nodded.
"Palmer Group has more than 50% market share in the southeast region. The sales of our new products were truly staggering, and there was also a sales channel in Starling City."
She looked like a little girl who was expecting affirmation after getting such an amazing result. "After much discussion, we have decided that the next city we will develop is Starling City."
"Oh really?" Ethan had a surprised look on his face. "It's an internationally famous city!"
"Yes!"
Diane was even more pleased to see Ethan's expression. "It's very secret and very few people know about this plan, so don't tell anyone else, okay?"
If the Palmer Group could become the leading company in Starling City, it would be a major advancement for the company.
It was different from just living in the southeast region and developing along the coastline.
To take this step, you need both ability and courage!
"Wife, you're amazing!" Ethan kissed her again. "You're really my idol."
Her words were dripping with honey and so sweet that Diane was embarrassed. His face and neck were all red and he wondered if the others might have misunderstood him when he went down to dinner.
At the dining table.
Diane kept her head down and just ate without talking. April reached out to touch her forehead.
"What's wrong? Why is your face so red?"
"No, today is very warm."
"Today is quite warm, and it's almost summer. Jenny will take the exam soon." April laughed and said, "By the way, your grandmother and the others want to come and visit us tomorrow. Your uncle called this morning to tell me."
Diane looked up when she heard this.
"Since we've already moved into a new house, it's only right for them to come over to eat and chat with us. After all, we are all brothers."
April finds out that Diane became very angry the last time she went to visit this relative. He only gets along well with Jared's family, but he really doesn't want anything to do with others, like Sherry and the family.
But April is the traditional type of woman and for her, blood is thicker than water. He was devoted to his parents and respected his brothers.
"Yup, we have to take him. Since Mum had thought about it, then they could come," Ethan gently grabbed Diane's hand and smiled. "Should I arrange for someone to pick them up?"
"Oh no no!" April answered quickly. "They will take the bus themselves. Your uncle does not want to trouble you, he said many times."
"We're all family, no problem."
Ethan turned to Tom Foster and Tom Foster immediately nodded.
"I'll finish this."
"I'm sorry for bothering you."
April felt bad about it.
He's relieved to see Ethan isn't mad.
The last time Ethan and Diane visited their relatives, they had an unpleasant experience there and he was afraid Ethan would get annoyed at their arrival. But her mother has called and said that she wants to come, so April feels that she cannot refuse her own mother.
William had even nearly quarreled with her before, saying that he had not considered Ethan's feelings.
After dinner, Tom Foster immediately went to arrange this.
Diane returned to the room and looked rather displeased.
"Can't you just say that my First Aunt was clearly the one who triggered all this?"
He was a good person, but he still had a temperament. Her family has been bullied so badly by Sherry for years, and now they still have to be nice and polite to her.
Geez know what other reason they came here.
Diane doesn't mind if Jared and his family want to visit. But he really did not like his eldest aunt.
"Didn't you see that Mum was placed somewhere?" Ethan smiles. "What is a little bit of suffering to me? As long as it doesn't make it harder for me."
"I really suspect you're his real son!"
Diane scoffed and ignored Ethan. He turned around and sat down at his desk to sort out some documents.
The next step in the Palmer Group's plan was to enter the large city of Starling City.
This step is very important!
If they can stabilize themselves in this big city, then more opportunities will be open for the Palmer Group.
Diane attaches great importance to this plan and has gone to great lengths to make it happen. He had already held more than ten meetings with the company's directors regarding this matter.
He would use the fact that the new product was in demand to enter the Starling City market. After all, her spokesperson, Victoria Clark, was already based in Starling City.
Diane didn't want to miss that good opportunity.
Moreover, he heard that Starling City was a complicated city and the various forces working in the city were quite strong, too, so it is very difficult for a brand to gain a foothold without relying on this existing power.
But no matter how difficult it was, Diane was very determined to take this step!
Chapter 498
She did not forget the very, very extraordinary girl who might come to snatch her husband at any time.
Diane won't let that happen.
When Ethan sees how Diane is acting like a child, he just laughs and says nothing. He did not cut it off and walked out of the room.
Of course Ethan knows why April's relatives want to come.
Palmer Group is now growing rapidly and Palmer Group is the most famous company in all of Greencliff. It does not matter whether you live in the city, the countryside or even the village – anyone who has children working in Palmer Group will celebrate.
Sherry insists that her mother with mobility issues come to visit the Palmer family. Even an idiot could tell what he was after.
April was watching TV on the sofa in the living room.
When she saw Ethan coming down, she looked up and asked, "Is Diane busy?"
"Yup. He is working on a company expansion plan. It's very important so I don't want to bother him."
"Come and sit with me."
April tells Ethan, then takes an apple and says, "I'll make you an apple."
"Thank you Mother."
Ethan sat down and leaned back on the sofa. He had a tired expression and he frowned as he massaged his own temple and sighed deeply.
He looked like he had just traveled several thousand miles before. His eyes were red and he was exhausted.
"Are you very tired?" April felt her heart go to him.
Ethan has contributed a lot to the family.
If it wasn't for Ethan, his family would probably never have had the chance to live so happily.
"A little bit," Ethan squeezed in a smile. "But as long as our family is happy, all the work is worth it."
"You're a good boy."
April felt her tears drip."
"I used to hate seeing you so much, you think ..."
"That's because you don't understand what kind of person I am and you're afraid I'm going to bully Diane. Now you know all about me, and you know only Diane can bully me," Ethan said with a laugh.
"He wouldn't dare!" April sneers. "If Diane bullies you, let me know and I'll teach her a lesson!"
Ethan laughed out loud. She wondered if Diane was sneezing right now.
"Have you encountered any problems while going to Starling City?"
"A little bit," Ethan sighed. "Palmer Group wants to expand, and they have to enter a big city like Starling City sooner or later. I went to test the market there and I accidentally offended some people."
April's expression instantly became nervous.
"Palmer Group can develop so quickly and well just because Dad and Diane have worked so hard. Look at Diane - after she gets home, she still has to work late into the night," Ethan says in a annoyed voice. "I want to help divide the burden, and I won't be afraid even if there are twenty or thirty people chasing me to beat me."
If the Gelatic brothers heard this, they would kneel down in shock. Who would dare go after Ethan to beat him up?
It was basically suicide.
But when April heard these words, she felt her heart tremble.
"So many people are after you to beat you up? Are you hurt anywhere?" april asked worriedly as she hurriedly stood up to check.
"Don't worry, I'm a sprinter."
Ethan even looks scared.
"That's how it is in business, and you will definitely offend some people along the way. But the Palmer Group is Diane's dream, so I want to make it happen for her and I don't want anyone else to ruin her dream. ."
He looked at April and shook his head. "Mom, you don't know about this, but there's a director in the office who broke the rules and secretly arranged for his little sister to join the company, so he doesn't have to do anything and still get paid. It had a negative impact on the company and even affected one of the company's projects. Diane was so angry, she kept crying."
April never asked about the company's problems. William and Diane don't tell him either, as April is always focused on taking care of the house.
But after hearing all this from Ethan, he realizes that his family is working very hard and it is difficult to deal with all these storms.
He would definitely not let anyone destroy all of this. He will not let anyone affect the happiness his family deserves.
"Mom, don't worry, I'm still young, so I'll be fine after a good night's rest."
Ethan sees that April has finished peeling the apple, so he takes it from her and starts eating it. "Mom, go to bed early. I'll sleep after eating apples too, I'm a little sleepy."
He then ate the apple and dragged his heavy footsteps up the stairs at the same time.
April feels her heart ache when she sees how tired Ethan is.
…
Meanwhile.
At Sherly's house.
He ransacked his closet and there was joy written all over his face.
"Which one looks better for me?"
Sherry stood in front of the mirror and wore dresses one after another onto herself.
"We didn't attend the banquet, why did you bother at all."
Christopher snorted loudly.
She was very surprised by Diane last time. He never expected the Palmer Group to do well now. Even the top government official was very polite to Diane.
He thought that he would wear clothes while he was away at work, but the highest official in his office actually came to greet him the next day!
Chapter 499
"What do you know." Sherry rolled her eyes at him.
"April is amazing now, and the Palmer Group is even more incredible now! Didn't you hear? Their new products are still sold out! I can't get it in this town at all!"
"This Palmer Group will become a multinational corporation one day!"
Christopher made a face and wanted to say that this had nothing to do with Sherry. Obviously Sherry never thought this day would come when she said all the bad things about April back then.
"If our son can get into the Palmer Group, then his future is definitely bright!"
Sherry's eyes smiled as she talked about this. She had spoken to her mother many times about the matter, and her mother eventually gave up and agreed to go to Greencliff with them.
"Given our son's ability, April should at least allow him to become a VP at the company, right?"
Sherry's been thinking about this for a long time.
His son always seemed so free and he wasn't in a very good company either, so how much could he make each year?
If Sherry and Christopher hadn't saved up enough, they wouldn't have the money for her to get married or buy a car.
Now that April's family is fine, then she will definitely help her sister.
Palmer Group is a very big company now. Everyone at Greencliff gave a thumbs up when someone called the Palmer Group.
The salary and perks of the Palmer Group are excellent, and their reputation is even more admirable. If anyone has children who enter the Palmer Group, the family will hold a large party and light fireworks to celebrate.
"That part is true" Christopher laughed. "Given our son's ability, I don't think it's a problem for him to be a VP. His annual salary is at least a million dollars, right?"
"How can you?" Sherry glared at him. "That's at least three million dollars!"
"That's my real sister we're talking about! Can our relationship with April be compared to others?"
Christopher nodded.
During this time, she also benefits from connecting with April's family. Even government officials who had never cared about his whereabouts before were being courteous to him now.
He thought about it for a while, then said, "But you made Diane so unhappy last time, did she agree?"
Diane is the CEO of Palmer Group, so she definitely has a say in this.
"It's not up to him!" Sherry scoffs. "As soon as April gives permission, then William and Diane will say nothing. You think I don't know them both? They listened to everything April said!"
"In addition, my mother also joined. If my mother asks, you think April would dare to disagree? He always listened to everything the old lady said!"
Once he can get April's support, then everything will go according to plan.
The more he thought about it, the happier he was. He started humming himself and could already imagine how envious and envious his neighbors would be if they found out that his son was working for the Palmer Group.
He will be VP of Palmer Group!
They can throw away their weight after that! Huh!
Sherry can barely sleep at night. He just felt like time was going so slow. Every time he opened his eyes again, he would get angry when he realized that it was not yet morning. He's impatient.
Sherry woke up very early the next morning.
She changed to the long red dress she carefully selected the night before to make herself look a little more classy.
Even Christopher changed new clothes and leather shoes.
Because they are the parents of a VP at Palmer Group, they must make sure that they are wearing the clothes.
He yelled at his son, Felix, to get out of bed. "Do you know what time it is? Why are you still sleeping?! Getup! Lift grandma! We're going to Greencliff! We'll make sure you become VP!"
They went to Jared's.
Sherry came out in a hurry and ran into the house.
Christopher remained standing in front of the car and slightly adjusted his tie. He was afraid that walking too much would dirty his leather shoes. They will not look good anymore if they are dirty.
"Mom! MOMMY!" Sherry shouted very loudly. "I'm coming to get you!"
Grandma Baker always gets up early. He was already dressed and packing, and looked quite alert.
She has heard all about how April's family now lives in a large bungalow from Sherry, but she has no intention of visiting them as she gets older and she has trouble walking.
But since Sherry is coming to pick him up, then she thinks she should visit him.
She was so happy to see her kids doing well.
"You're here" Grandma Baker smiled. "I'm waiting for you to come."
Jared and his wife walked out when they heard the commotion. Jenny rubbed her eyes and yawned as she walked out of her room.
It was only 7 in the morning. Who is visiting others at this hour?
"Sister" Jared greeted him.
"Jared, I came to pick up Mum. We don't have a place in the car anymore, so your family can take the bus."
Chapter 500
Sherry turned to Jared and said this very casually.
In fact, he didn't even intend to take Jared's family, as they had nothing to do with his family.
But Grandma Baker insisted that they all go together because it is the right for siblings to visit each other.
Jared didn't say anything when he heard this. He guessed that much anyway.
Her eldest sister was probably afraid she would dirty her car.
Sherry left with the old woman and left immediately.
"Guard your stuff, we gotta catch the bus."
Jared's wife shrugged her shoulders. He doesn't care. "I made pickled radishes. April likes this pickle, so I'll take it."
He was about to pack food when he suddenly stopped and said anxiously, "Do you think he would underestimate this kind of food right now?"
The Palmer family is no longer a poor family that has trouble making ends meet.
"Don't think too much. Even if others looked down on this food, April wouldn't" Jared replied. "Bring it all up, April's been asking it a few times."
"Well fine then!"
Jenny yawned and made a face when she saw how happy her mother was.
"Dad, I'll change. Wait for me."
"Hurry, we gotta catch the bus."
"okay."
Jared was also a little confused by this situation. He actually did not want to disturb April. It's so hard to take care of so many of them at once.
He was already happy to see April and her family living well. He never thought to give her any trouble just because she lived well. But her mother insisted that she come along, so she did not dare to argue with him.
But to get to Greencliff, they had to take a public bus, then an intercity bus, then change public buses twice before they could reach their new home in April.
"We'd better take a taxi there, there's no point saving this little money" Jared thought to himself.
Just as they finished packing, a car honked at their door.
Jared walked out when he heard the sound of a horn. He saw a black car parked at his doorstep, and he knew at a glance that this car must have been very expensive!
"Are you Mr Jared Baker?"
"Yes, right, I'm Jared. Hello hello, you…?"
Jared ran over and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, forgetting that it was a cheap brand and this guy might look down on them because he was driving a nice car.
But Brother Geoff's eyes sparkled as soon as he saw the cigarette. "OH! I haven't smoked in a long time. Thank you Uncle Baker!"
After he follows Ethan around, Tom Foster doesn't allow them to smoke because Diane doesn't like the smell of cigarettes, so Brother Geoff quits as quickly as possible.
But he couldn't help but take it. He was very grateful to Jared. "Uncle Baker, can I borrow a match? I don't have any more matches."
Jared was surprised at how polite Brother Geoff was, and quickly lit a cigarette for him.
"Big Boss told me to come pick you up, is everyone ready to go?"
Brother Geoff finished his cigarette and stood where the wind blew the loudest. He hoped the wind could blow the smell of tobacco on him, otherwise Tom Foster would nag.
"We're ready! We're ready!" Jared's a little sorry. "I'm so sorry you had to come all the way here to pick us up, we really made Ethan trouble again."
"Don't say that. Big Boss says that you are family, so it doesn't matter."
Jenny and her mother have changed clothes and come out with some items meant for the April family.
Jenny's mother fell silent as she saw a beautiful car waiting outside the door. Ethan's too good to them!
"Hello Brother Geoff!"
Jenny was not at all formal around Brother Geoff and immediately greeted him. He clenched his hands politely and said in a very firm voice, "Jenny Baker, the Fairbanks Legend, greet Brother Geoff!"
