Chapter 594



The Smith mansion was still some distance from the gates.

So when the police car pulled up, the security guard hastily stuck his head out of the window and was scared out of his wits. “Have they come to arrest someone again?”

Puzzled, the butler got out and politely approached the police car. Just as he was about to speak, the car window rolled down, revealing Karl’s face. He asked, “Is Tanya home?”

The butler was taken aback. “Mrs. Smith has been home the whole time. Mr. Moore, have you… stolen a police car?”

Karl had escaped from jail and even stolen a police car?

Wasn’t that too bold?

The butler’s thoughts terrified him.

The butler: “…”

“Come on, cut the crap and open the door! I’m going in to get my daughter.” After Karl’s words, the butler swallowed hard. In the end he didn’t dare stop Karl from entering, so he opened the doors.

The car swayed as Karl drove carelessly down the driveway.

In the living room.

Tanya had her eyes lowered and kept quiet.

With a cold look, Joel said, “Great Aunt Sue, I don’t find my wife’s condition uncomfortable at all.”

Sue curved her lips in disdain and said, “You don’t have to glorify her anymore. All of New York knows by now that her father is a murderer. That’s pretty much cemented by now. We also have our own contacts that we can use to find out the information we want. Tanya is not invited to any of the New York circle events these days. If you don’t believe me, why don’t you go out and take a look for yourself? Think of all the invitations the Smiths had received when Yvonne was still around. Who’s going to send out invitations to the Smiths now?”

He continued. “It’s not just Tanya. Even Nora too… What’s a nice girl like her doing being a coroner? Isn’t it crude to deal with dead bodies every day? It’s even taboo for a lot of people, that’s why they don’t send Nora invitations anymore either.

But there are a lot of things that require a woman to step up and take charge. Take a look at the Smiths now, how many presentable women are there?

Besides, I’m here for a big deal this time!”

Joel narrowed his eyes and looked at Sue.

Sue said, “There’s no land available to buy in New York lately, is there? The real estate business is declining bit by bit. The real estate part of our family’s business hasn’t produced any profit this year! But I dare say that this project of mine will undoubtedly be the most profitable in real estate.”

Joel immediately understood what project Sue was talking about.

He immediately interrupted her and said, “The Smiths don’t care about certain businesses. The real estate industry is no longer doing well. It was a wise decision for us to pull out early.”

He didn’t give Sue a chance to speak, but stood up and pushed her in her place. He said, “Aunt Sue, we have a lot to do, why don’t you go home for the time being?”

Tanya watched the two of them.

Joel had always been a sly fox. Even if he was obviously unhappy about something, he still kept a smile on his face. He maintained a smiling disposition throughout the year and then decimated his enemies behind their backs.

He rarely got angry on the surface then.

But now he was starting to get physical. It had to be because what Sue was about to say had to do with her.

As soon as the thought formed, Sue said, “Joel, don’t push me. Isn’t it so the Smiths can benefit that I’m here to talk about the project today? Are you going to deprive the Smiths of such enormous benefits just to protect your wife?”

Sue rushed over to Tanya and said, “You know, there’s a big project in New York that all the companies are bidding on right now. The Smiths could have easily fought for it; it’s because of you that we let this project slip through our fingers!”.

Tanya frowned and looked at Joel.

Joel’s voice grew even colder. “Great Aunt Sue, don’t force me to take action against you.”

Sue, however, lifted her chin and said, “Then why don’t you? But before you do, I still have to make this clear!”

She looked directly at Tanya and said, “This huge project was to build a courthouse on a suburban lot! And because this building is so special, they require a team of engineers with an impeccable record with the law! In fact, the Smiths have never broken the law before, even after being in business for so many years! But now we have a daughter-in-law with a murderer for a father! You’ve completely ruined the Smiths’ reputation! We can’t bid on the project anymore just because of you.”

Tanya bit her lip at this.

As for Joel, he immediately shouted, “Where’s the housekeeper!”.

Lucy walked into the room and said, “I’m here.”

“Show Aunt Sue out!”

“Yes, sir.”

Lucy took a step forward as she spoke. She grasped Sue’s hand at once and began to drag her toward the door.

However, Sue scoffed and said, “Joel, do you think this problem will go away if you pull me out and keep me from talking? Even if you don’t say anything about it, you both should know that it is because of your father that we have been banned from the project. Ha, we Smiths have never broken the law so blatantly in all these years, but this time we’ve totally embarrassed ourselves! Are you still going to defend a wife like that?” To be honest, building the courthouse wouldn’t bring much benefit.

However, it was a way to show off one’s corporate reputation in the country!

In fact, it was very unpleasant that the Smiths’ engineering team didn’t even qualify to bid on the project.

However…

Joel refuted her. “We might not be able to win the project even if we bid on it no matter what! How can you blame it all on Tanya?”.

Sue scoffed, “With what everyone else is saying, the Smiths have been completely embarrassed, and yet you still defend her! Not only is a matriarch like her incapable of doing anything for the Smiths, but she’s even giving us a lot of trouble! Joel, I told you, I came here with a project! As long as you let me be the Smith matriarch above ground, I can convince the Department of Housing and Urban Development to give the Smiths a chance to bid on it! It doesn’t matter if we make money or not; what matters is regaining the reputation we’ve lost!”

Joel frowned. He was about to speak when police sirens wailed from the doorway.

Sue’s eyes immediately lit up at the sound of the police sirens. She pointed to Tanya and said excitedly, “Do you hear that? The police are here again! Have we fallen out with the police? Tanya’s father must have gotten into trouble again, they’re already here to arrest Tanya!”

As soon as he said that, a wild and rude voice came from the door. “Who would dare arrest my daughter!”

Hearing this, those present looked one after another and saw Karl striding in wearing a police uniform!
