“Mr. Grimm, what do you mean by that?”

“Oh, nothing. It’s just a compliment.”

“When doing business, the most important thing is to be honest. You don’t need to listen to other people’s compliments.

“Goodbye.” Bruce smiled calmly. His eyes were filled with confidence.

He obtained this year’s certificate of authorization, and this move was equivalent to choking Cassius’s throat.

It was said that one had to find his enemies’ weakness to defeat them.

This time, Bruce’s move really hit Cassius’s weakness.

This also meant that the most powerful gambling institutes under Grimm Group had to be closed down.

It was a known fact that no more than five companies could obtain the certificate of authorization within the entire Venturas gambling industry.

Although there were many gambling institutes of various sizes in Venturas, of them had to be put under someone else’s name.

many

Of course, this was not for free. It required a large amount of money every year.

Soon, Jaydon and Grace also heard the news.

“What? Bruce got the certificate of authorization?” Jaydon was shocked.

“Yes, the news is all over the Internet. Look!” Grace quickly showed her brother the trending topic.

Jaydon took her phone and peered at it while saying in disbelief, “When did this happen? This is so unbelievable.”

“Just today.

“When I heard that the Everett Group was participating in the auction, I thought that there was no hope for it to obtain the certificate of authorization. I didn’t expect them to really get it.”

When Jaydon heard this, he was dumbfounded.

Bruce was really an impressive man.

It didn’t matter if he used unorthodox methods or formal means to bid.

He actually found a way.

This was really impressive. Jaydon had no choice but to admit defeat.

Grace’s expression was solemn as she said regretfully, “Sigh, the gambling legacy that Dad worked so hard to maintain is probably going to end here.

“But this is good news. He won’t let Cassius be so arrogant. Hmph, Cassius must

be so mad now. He must be furious!

“No matter what, Mr. Everett has helped us vent our anger.”

When Jaydon heard this, he looked gloomy. “What exactly is Bruce trying to do? He doesn’t know how the gambling industry works, so why would he bid for the certificate of authorization?”

Everett Group had a foothold in almost all industries.

To be honest, he had always been in the business of industry and real estate. Why would he suddenly take interest in the gambling industry?

This was really unfathomable.

Jaydon’s expression was very solemn. Although Bruce’s actions had dealt a blow to Cassius’s momentum, it was a huge blow to the Grimm Group as well.

The empire that his father had worked so hard to build was about to crumble.

“Jaydon, what should we do now?”

“We’ll take it one step at a time. No matter what, you have to expose Cassius’s scheme and take back Dad’s inheritance. You also have to avenge Dad.”

Even if the Grimm Group was no longer in the gambling industry, Tim’s inheritance still amounted to billions of dollars.

Of course, Jaydon would not let it go so easily.

“One more thing. Aunt Yasmine seems to have gone missing. I haven’t been able to contact her for the past few days.” Grace looked worried.

Yasmine had been missing for more than a week and she could not be contacted.

“Is that so?”

“Yeah! I called her a few times, but no one answered. The others also tried calling her, but they couldn’t get through either.

“I called her secretary, and she told me that Aunt Yasmine is overseas.

“But this is a critical moment. Why would she go overseas?”

When Jaydon heard this, he frowned and had a bad feeling.

Yasmine had always been very close to Cassius.

She probably had got to know Cassius’s secrets.

“Jaydon, should we call the police?”

“Not for now.”

“Don’t get involved in this matter, or you might get in big trouble. Cassius has gone crazy. I’m afraid he’ll do something to us.”

Upon hearing this, Grace’s eyes blinked, and the expression on her face became serious.

“Grace, you and Patricia are my two most important family members now. When

I’m not by your side, you have to protect yourself,” Jaydon said as he looked at his sister, his face full of worry.

Grace nodded in confusion. “Yes, Jaydon, don’t worry! I’ll be careful…”

It was five o’clock in the afternoon at Sherane Bay Villa.

Joanna had personally cooked dinner for the children and Bruce.

Davian and Irvin had come home from school. Seeing that their mommy was going to cook dinner, they all ran to the kitchen to compete for her attention.

“Mommy, let me help you.”

“No need. Hurry up and revise your homework.”

“No, we want to help Mommy cook.”

“That’s right! I want Mommy to teach me how to cook. I want to make a few dishes that I’m good at.”

“You’re still young. It won’t be too late to learn when you’re older. Now, your studies are the most important. Of course, you have to strike a balance between studies and rest.”

“Mommy, you don’t have to worry at all. Davian is the top student in school. “Ha, and I’m in second place. I’m only one point behind Davian.” Irvin smiled.

“Wow, amazing. You both are good boys. But don’t be proud. Learn to be humble.” Joanna looked gratified.

As Bruce’s sons, their starting line was already

It was not that they were better than other children or had higher IQs.

The most important factor was that their family education fund was far superior to that of ordinary people. They were only in the second year of primary school now, but the knowledge they had far

exceeded that of middle school students. Bruce had already found two PhD students and a tutor who had Master’s degree to teach them.

In addition, swordplay, horsemanship, shooting, painting, and so on were all scheduled as their daily entertainment. Bruce had hired the most professional coaches to guide them.

Therefore, there was no doubt that they would be outstanding.

It had been said that children from rich families were more likely to become “geniuses”, and that was only because children from poor families had no chance to receive such a good education.

“Daddy is about to get off work. Let’s show our filial piety and cook a sumptuous meal for Daddy.”

When Joanna heard this, she chuckled. “Alright then! You guys can help pick the vegetables.”

“Okay, Mommy.”

The two boys happily began picking vegetables.

Just then, the sound of a car honking came from outside the courtyard.

The two boys immediately put down the vegetables they were holding as if they were welcoming a triumphant general. “Mommy, Daddy is back. Let’s go get him.”

“Really?”

“Yes! I heard the car engine outside.”

The two boys had already run out to the courtyard to welcome their daddy home.

Lilia wheeled her remote-controlled wheelchair chair out to the courtyard.

“Daddy, why are you back so early?”

“I came back as soon as I had settled things.”

Joanna also walked out and smiled gently. “Was it a busy day at the office?” “It’s alright. Everything went well.”

“Okay, then get ready. It’s almost dinnertime.”

“Wow, honey, are you cooking today?”

“That’s right! I’m free today, so I thought I’d make some dishes for the children.”

“You didn’t even make spaghetti for me yesterday. You must make it up to me today.”

“Sure.”

Bruce barely noticed the presence of the two boys. He ignored them and directly hugged his wife behind the children.

“Honey, kiss me!” As Bruce spoke, he lowered his head and kissed Joanna’s cheeks lovingly.

It was as if they had not seen each other for a long time.

“Daddy…” Lilia also called out sweetly.

“Hey, Lilia!” Bruce replied happily. He let go of Joanna and lifted his precious daughter in his arms, kissing and hugging her tightly.

“Oh, sweetheart, do you miss Daddy?”

“Of course!” Lilia smiled brightly.

“Let’s go in!” Bruce carried his daughter in one hand and held Joanna’s shoulder in the other. They walked into the house together.

Davian was speechless.

Irvin remained silent as well.

After a while, Davian said indignantly, “Are the two of us really his children?”

Irvin pursed his lips. “Doesn’t feel like it.

“Even if we’re not, Daddy can’t ignore us just like this, right?”

“That’s right. We at least call him Daddy! How can he be so biased?”

The two boys felt sad at being ignored by their daddy.

Unfortunately…

Bruce had a soft spot for his daughter. Perhaps, Davian and Irvin were just unlucky that they were not girls!

It was 6 o’clock in the afternoon.

The family gathered in the dining room for dinner.

After dinner, Joanna finally had the time to check her phone.

Just then, she saw the news. The shocking news of Bruce obtaining the certificate

of authorization for the gambling industry in Venturas today had already went viral as a trending topic on the Internet.
