Chapter 1684 Failure Is The Key To Success

Skyler started to wonder what he could do to make sure Davin and Kyle left for good. Not only did Davin make me lose a hundred thousand, but that b*stard also kept me up all night with his stupid music. Somehow, I’m going to make him pay!

The man was still thinking hard when a servant suddenly appeared to inform him that Steven wanted to meet him in the study.

“Got it. I’ll be right over.”

There was a lot that Steven needed Skyler to handle for him, mainly to bring forth the Maupays’ re-emergence and to track down the treasure they were seeking as soon as humanly possible.

Steven started speaking as soon as Skyler stepped into the room. “I need to contact our old friends. If our family is to rise again, we’ll need their support. Firstly—”

Before the man could finish his sentence, Skyler interrupted, “Dad, how is that our top priority? Thanks to Davin and his music, I couldn’t sleep at all last night! I think our top priority is to figure out how to get rid of that b*stard. How am I supposed to function if I can’t sleep?

Looking at how flustered his son was, Steven sighed disappointedly. “How hard can it be to get rid of that man? I’m sure there are a million ways you can achieve that.”

“How? It’s unlikely that he’ll just listen to me, and I can’t force him to leave either. If I somehow started a fight with the man, going up against their family would be very disadvantageous for us. Why would I risk that? Besides, you’re the one who agreed to let him stay. If you ask me, I don’t think you should’ve done that.”

“Well, it’s no use thinking about the past now. If we can’t do anything about it, there’s always somebody who can.”

Skyler kept quiet for a while before continuing, “You mean…”

“Just because we can’t make him do anything doesn’t mean his wife can’t. I’m sure she’s more than capable of making him listen. However, we’ll have to convince her that Davin is actually here because…”

Steven left the rest to his son’s imagination.

“Oh, I get it. Don’t worry, Dad. I’ll make it happen.”

“Excellent! Then let’s put on a good show tonight.”

“I’ll go get busy now. That b*stard has no idea what’s coming,” stated Skyler with a devious smile on his face. I heard Davin’s afraid of his wife. We’ll see if that’s true tonight.

Meanwhile, Maya greeted Davin and Kyle excitedly when they entered Imperial Garden.

“Uncle Davin! Kyle! It’s been too long!”

“Did you have fun out there, Maya?” inquired Kyle caringly.

In response to that, Maya nodded somewhat hesitantly.

“How are things between you and Wilbur?” continued Kyle.

Instead of answering her brother, Maya turned to Davin, who looked as guilty as a boy who was caught stealing from his mother.

“Maya, I know it’s my fault. I should’ve been more careful before introducing someone like Wilbur to you.”

“I know it wasn’t your intention for any of it to happen. I’m not mad at you, Uncle Davin. Just stop trying to get me a boyfriend, and we’ll call it even.”

As soon as Maya was done speaking, Juan appeared from the stairs. “She’s got a point, you know? You shouldn’t be playing matchmaker like that. Otherwise, you might end up hurting somebody. So, Uncle Davin, do you still think that you have a good eye for eligible bachelors or bachelorettes?”

“What is that supposed to mean, Juan? Even Maya’s not mad at me, so what gives you the right to say something like that? What? You think I’m not fit to play matchmaker just because I failed once? People say that failure is the key to success, so you can bet that I’ll keep on trying. Hey, you know what? I’ll get you a girlfriend. How does that sound?”
