CHAPTER 389 | REGRET HAVING MARRIED YOU
Millie went back to the house and happened to see Theo, Jimmy and Andrew coming out, narrowing
her eyes suspiciously.
Nothing good would happen when the three of them got together, and she was becoming wary of them.
Now Millie had to solve two problems. Firstly, she needed to find out the truth about Frank’s death.
Secondly, she needed to stop Frank's illegitimate
sons from revolting.
As to the first problem, others would think it was Wallace who had murdered Frank, but Millie knew he
couldn't have done that. Instead, she suspected
that it was an inside job, because Frank’s illegitimate sons had enough motives and opportunities to kill
him, but Millie didn’t have any evidence.
As to the second problem, it was the hardest part of all.
Millie had no followers, but fortunately, the Spencer family supported her. However, she wouldn't go for
Wallace for help, unless compelled by a
necessity.
Theo, Jimmy and Andrew also threw an unfriendly look at Millie. When they walked far away, Jimmy
said to the other two people, "I’m going to meet
someone in a while. The situation is to our disadvantage now, and you two must make sure no one will
find out what you are doing.”
Theo and Andrew exchanged glances and nodded.
"Great." Jimmy nodded and continued, "We have to take actions in the next few days. Besides, another
person deserves our attention more than
Millie."
"Who?" Original from .
"Wallace Spencer!" Jimmy said solemnly before turning to Andrew. "Andrew, father promoted you and
now you have a voice. | don't care how, but you
have to stop the Spencer family!"
Andrew nodded at once. "OK."
"And you, Theo." Jimmy turned to Theo. "Fabian is useless, while Ryan can't do anything. Only you are
able to get the people ready and take actions!"
"OK!" Theo agreed without hesitation.
Since Jimmy was smartest person in the whole Perry family, Jimmy and Andrew always followed his
advice.
Finally, Jimmy felt relieved, a cold glint flashing across his eyes. "He’s nothing but a man living off his
wife. How dare he inherit the Perry family’s
property! He needs to be taught a lesson!"
Theo and Andrew were also seething with resentment. The first time they had ever met Leo was in the
Henderson Residence. On that day, the whole
Perry family apologized to the Henderson family. Some important figure told them to do so, and asked
them never to tell anyone else about it.
The three people went their separate ways. Jimmy got into his own car, while Theo and Andrew left
themselves, each person's face grim.
At present, the three of them scratched one another's backs. Jimmy took advantage of Theo and
Andrew’s power, while Theo and Andrew used
Jimmy's wits. Everyone played along with one another since the game was not over yet.
Jimmy stopped at Hamilxon Club and entered the building. The moment he went in, he heard a hearty
burst of laughter
“You came, Jimmy."
Jimmy looked up and saw a handsome man standing on the second floor with a folding fan in his hand.
It was Jaxon.
Hamilxon Club was Jaxon’s private club.
Jimmy cut to the chase. "Something happened to my family. Frank died, but he gave his property to a
young man called Leo
Cohen instead of me."
Dumbfounded, Jaxon paused for a while before bursting into laughter. "Mr. Perry didn’t let me down.
He did a great job shifting
the conflict."
Jimmy growled sullenly, "Is that Leo so hard to deal with? Why did father think he was able to hold us
all back alone?"
Jaxon replied meaningfully, “Don’t underestimate him. He’s a hard nut to crack. Even Miss Lawson
handles him with caution.
She won’t take actions unless she’s fully prepared."
Jimmy was shocked to hear that. Naturally, he had heard of Kate before, but he wondered why Leo
would have married into
the Lawson family five years ago if he really was so powerful.
“Anyway, I promise I’ll help you become the head of the Perry family," Jaxon grinned. "In fact, that is the
first part of our big
plan. We want more than getting rid of him."
Jimmy got even more surprised. That was actually the first part of their big plan. What were they going
to do after that?
“Don’t be nervous." Jaxon saw the concern in Jimmy’s eyes and passed him a cup of tea. "You may
use my men in Martial Arts
Association. With the help of those masters, you don’t have to worry about anything.
"I appreciate it, Mr. Hamilton."
Jimmy was in a cold sweat after he left Hamilxon Club. He heard that Wallace had become the
president of Martial Arts
Association, but even so, Jaxon was still able to use its power, which made Jimmy wonder if the
Hamilton family wasn’t some
ordinary wealthy family.
Three days had passed, and everything was peaceful. Nothing had happened to the Perry family, while
Leo had been focusing
on his business of Foreign Trade Department.
Led by Leo, Foreign Trade Department had made steady progress, showing signs of surpassing Irene’s
Public Relations
Department and becoming the top department of Atlas Beauty.
The Lawson Group had invested a large sum of money in the city construction project recently.
Caroline volunteered to
negotiate with Kate, the president of the Lawson Group, and got the deal down, and thus becoming the
hottest star of Atlas
Beauty.
However, only Caroline knew that her success was attributed to Leo since he was the one pulling the
strings. Therefore, she
wasn‘t excited about it at all. Apprehensive, she lost her appetite at the dinner table.
"I’ve done eating." Caroline put down the fork and went back to her room.
Neither Leo nor William paid much attention to it.
"I’ve assigned too many tasks to her lately. She’ll be OK in a few days," Leo said, smiling.
William, nevertheless, waved his hand. "She just started her business career. It’s good for her to be
busy now." William paused
before going on, "Speaking of business, Leo, the Ford family wouldn’t be where we are now without
your support." William was
slightly drunk, blushing. "A toast to you."
Leo clinked his glass against William’s. "After all, we’re family.
That’s what I ought to do."
Lydia also raised her glass and William clinked his glass against hers immediately. “Lydia, I’ll empty it.
Be my guest." After that,
he drank the wine in one gulp.
Leo watched everything with a smile. He could probably tell what William had on his mind, but some
things were better left
unsaid.
Rebecca, whom Leo hadn‘t seen for a long time, appeared preoccupied and absent-minded. When Leo
and Lydia left, she
grabbed William’s hand and said nervously, “William, you have to listen to me. Leo must divorce that
woman, or something
unfortunate will happen to us all!"
“What are you talking about? Lydia is a good woman! You can never find someone like her!" A little
drunk, William flared up as
he heard Rebecca speaking ill of Lydia, pointing his finger at her and growled, “Let me tell you
something. If you talk shit
behind Lydia’s back again, don’t blame me for being hard on you!"
Rebecca didn’t expect William to be angry at her, and she lost her temper as well. "I have my reasons
for that. A fortuneteller
told me that she'll ruin any man who marries her because she’s a jinx..."
Before Rebecca could finish her words, William slapped her across the face, and then came her shrill
scream.
“Ah! How dare you slap me, you jerk!" Rebecca shouted hysterically. "It’s been 20 years since we got
married, but you actually
slap me for some jinx. You'll regret it!"
Hardly had Rebecca finished her sentence than she drove her head into the wall.
William looked coldly at Rebecca, showing no intention of stopping her. "Go ahead. Do it! I regret
having married you because
you’re a snob and a fence-sitter. You’re never held accountable for anything you do, and you keep
throwing mud at Lydia!"
Rebecca paused for a long time before bursting into tears. "How can you blame me for everything?
Have you made me happy
for even one day since we got married? I can’t take it anymore!"
Bawling, Rebecca ran upstairs to her bedroom. However, the moment she closed the door, her face
suddenly darkened.
"William, you've left me no choice. Don’t blame me for being too hard on you!
