Chapter 25
Brother Howard used a hand to wipe his face and waved it.
Two of his men walked closer.
"How many men have attacked us?"
"Brother Howard, just one."
"One?"
Brother Howard opened his eyes wide and looked as terrifying as a ferocious tiger. "Just one guy and he beat you all up this bad? You useless trash!"
None of the men dared to answer.
"CEO Palmer, a dozen of my men are now still lying in the hospital, so isn't it true that I used those two million to pay their hospital bills?"
Howard's brother snorted and turned to look at Steven.
He never returned the money he received.
"First, you didn't tell me that there were tough characters hanging around Diane."
"What tough character?" Steven continued in a derogatory tone, "He's just a homeless man married into a family. I think he's used to fighting over food in the trash on the streets, so he's fighting wildly."
To him, Ethan was this kind of person. The less he feared death, the more terrifying he became.
Moreover, he had some mental illness, and no one could stop him once he acted up.
"I'll only ask you once. Brother Howard, can you finish this? If you can't, I'll find someone else."
Brother Howard narrowed his eyes and looked at Steven, then he smiled widely.
"Of course, as long as you pay, I can finish anything. It's just a matter of how much you want to pay."
Steven secretly cursed Brother Howard for being greedy, but he had no other choice.
Diane was in full charge of this project, and once it worked out, it would pose a huge threat to her and her son.
The old man would never give Diane any important role, but once Diane managed to gain a connection with the likes of Tom Foster, then it was hard to say so.
So even though this project failed, Steven didn't care. After all, all the losses they suffered now were the old man's money.
What Steven wants is the entire Palmer Group!
Once Gerald dies, everything will be his!
Diane and the family can dream about taking a penny from her.
"I'll give you another 3 million" Steven decided. "I don't care what you do. Destroy Diane or destroy the factory - I want this project to fail!"
"That's a promise!" Brother Howard smiled coldly.
As long as the money is good, he will do anything.
In just a few words, he had earned five million dollars. After all, it is still better to work with entrepreneurs.
"CEO Palmer, rest assured. Once the money gets to me, I'll give you results in a day."
"I'll wait for your good news."
The two men looked at each other with cold smiles on their faces.
……
The breakfast the next day was even more luxurious.
There are even snacks unique to Greencliff, and April obviously went very early to the market to get them.
Ethan is so touched, he eats everything without saving a piece for Diane.
"Mom, why don't you buy it for me!"
By the time Diane changed clothes, the plate on the table was empty and she immediately scrunched her nose.
It's only been a few days, but her mother seems to be Ethan's mother. He's too biased!
"You've been eating this since you were young, aren't you fed up with it?" Answer April from the kitchen. "Ethan has been wandering the streets for years and rarely gets a chance to eat this, so let her eat a few more."
Diane looks at Ethan angrily, but Ethan smiles happily.
"Let's go after you finish eating."
After eating, Ethan and Diane leave the house and head for the factory.
On the way there, Ethan is very excited, but Diane is a little unhappy.
He grumbles to himself that Ethan is a cunning fox for getting his mother's help in just a few days. Her mother was very kind to her, but she had not even admitted it.
But at the same time, he is filled with respect for Ethan.
Ethan treats everyone in the house sincerely and sincerely, and protects April and William as if they were his biological parents.
After all, the human heart is made of flesh. William and April were kind-hearted people, so they could immediately see how sincere he was.
But if they both accept Ethan, does that mean he really has to marry Ethan and they have to really be husband and wife?
From the side, he didn't look too bad. He was very rich, but he did not think about money. He was quite good at fighting so he could really protect the family. But who is this guy?
"Why do you keep looking at me? Surely you haven't fallen in love with me?" Ethan smiles.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Diane hurriedly turned around, as if she had been caught off guard.
"Don't you dare be too proud of yourself. My mother has decided to take care of you because she feels sorry for you because you've been homeless all along. Don't think about it too much!"
Ethan nodded, "Understand."
"Also, can you not call them Mother and Father naturally? Sounds even more natural than I."
"I won't agree with this one" Ethan immediately rejected it. "I make it a habit, because I'll call them that way for the rest of my life."
"You…"
"If you end up never falling for me and we can't be husband and wife, we can still be siblings."
Ethan smiled and continued, "You can't stop me from making them my godmother and godfather, can you?"
Diane looked at Ethan.
"NO!"
This guy even wants to compete with him for his own parents?
These were his parents, and he would not let him snatch them!
They quarreled and quarreled, and soon they reached the construction site.
The materials had taken all afternoon to reach the site, so Mr. Roger started the construction work in the morning.
He never thought everything would go so smoothly. Ethan goes to talk to those guys and gets everything done.
That's so amazing!
When he saw Ethan's car coming in, Mr. Roger ran right away.
"Miss Palmer, all the ingredients are here and we've started work, so we should be able to finish the plant on schedule."
Diane nodded, "We have to finish it on schedule."
"I'll keep an eye on everything. Let me take you to work."
Mr. Roger leads in front while Diane follows behind. When he saw Ethan, he immediately greeted him, "Morning, Brother Ethan!"
After he saw how Ethan sent a dozen sprawling hooligans on the first day, he was already filled with admiration.
To an impressive man like Ethan, it was something to envy.
If anyone ever said that a useless man had married into Diane's family, she was ready to slap their faces hard.
That's bullshit!
"Let's see." Ethan patted Mr. Roger on the shoulder, and he felt full of energy after that.
Diane and Ethan walk over to see the job site to see that everything is going according to plan without any major problems, and she can now relax.
Building your own factory is the first step. After that they have to adjust on the assembly line with technology from the Tom Foster side, then this project will be considered successful.
Once production begins, the Palmer Group can begin advancing into the production of medical equipment.
Suddenly there was a sound of broken stuff, and Diane's face instantly changed.
He quickly ran out to see two buses parked at the entrance, and seventy or eighty men rushed towards them!
Each of them was holding a bat, their faces threatening!
"Hit anyone who dares to keep working!"
"Stop all work! Drop everything! You're not allowed to work anymore!"
The entire group shouted at the workers, and all the workers turned pale from fear. No one dared to continue.
One of them took a while before stopping, and a stick immediately hit his hand hard, breaking his hand immediately!
"God, I told you to stop and you didn't? I'm gonna kill you!" one of the hooligans shouted arrogantly.
"What are you doing!"
Diane is so angry – why all of a sudden there are so many people here who are making trouble? They even have guns.
Ethan pulls him backwards as he watches one turn towards the hooligans. It seemed like his warning the day before was ineffective.
"Diane, get your phone out" Ethan said.
"Call the cops?"
Diane was nervous and anxious at the same time.
"Save time for me!"
