Chapter 785

"Yes, Mr. Shelby, I promise to complete the task!"

Upon hearing that Esther would be heading north in three days, Jake Johnson, filled with an urgency

akin to a shot of adrenaline, hurried to prepare all the procedures for establishing the company. If

he could not complete the task, his position as the head of the Chester Group's northern branch

might just slip away!

At the same time, in Middleton, one of the four major families of Amerosia, the Daniels family, were

a longstanding powerhouse. In Middleton, this imperial capital where every inch of land is like gold,

they owned a large estate of five hundred acres!

"So, you're saying Chris Shelby is heading north?"

Within a study, Evan Daniels squinted, his eyes darting about. Mention of Chris Shelby made his

teeth itch with hatred. Previously, when Evan Daniels went to the East Coast to pursue Candace

Nance, he had been publicly slapped several times by Chris Shelby at a cocktail party!

In the end, he had to flee in disgrace, in full view of the public. This grudge, he always kept in his

heart. He just didn't understand - where did a useless son-in-law, a cast-off of the Shelby family, get

the courage to bully him as he did when they were children?

Originally, he planned to gather men and go to the East Coast to seek revenge on Chris Shelby. But

unexpectedly, Chris Shelby had come to Middleton himself. A golden opportunity!

Just then, Yvonne Rainey, dressed up very attractively, cooed, "Yes, Mr. Daniels!"

As she spoke, she wrapped her arms around Evan Daniels's neck and whispered in his ear, "Mr.

Daniels... I am... the first one to tell you this news, you know!"

"Perfect!"

"If Chris Shelby dares to come to Middleton, I will make sure he can't leave!" Evan Daniels snarled.

Middleton was his territory. Crushing Chris Shelby in Middleton would be as simple as crushing an

ant.

Yvonne Rainey reminded him, "Mr. Daniels, you must not underestimate him! A few days ago, Chris

Shelby helped the Chester Group gain a firm foothold in Jacksonville, sweeping across the entire

gray area of Jacksonville. Even the underground ruler of Jacksonville, the Watson family, was forced

to give up Jacksonville!"

"Watson family?"

"What's the Watson family worth?"

Evan Daniels scoffed disdainfully.

"A second-rate family from Middleton dares to compare themselves to my Daniels family? My

Daniels family is a powerhouse in Middleton, deeply rooted and influential. Dealing with a Chris

Shelby is as easy as reaching out and grabbing him!"

"Mr. Daniels, I know you don't take the Watson family seriously. But this Chris Shelby came to

Middleton and drove the Watson family out of Jacksonville. His strength is not to be

underestimated. To avoid capsizing in the gutter, we must be careful and cautious!"

In several confrontations with Chris Shelby, Yvonne Rainey had been defeated. This led her to

drastically change her opinion of Chris Shelby. She knew that Chris Shelby was a difficult opponent.

If she underestimated him, the outcome would definitely not be good.

More importantly, Yvonne Rainey had personally witnessed Chris Shelby's terrifying power and his

ruthless henchmen. She wondered what Chris Shelby had been through over the years to gain such

terrifying power and such formidable followers. This was also why she felt compelled to caution

Evan Daniels.

Evan Daniels stroked his chin and said, "You're right! After all, this Chris Shelby is the abandoned

son of the Shelby family. Although he was kicked out of the Shelby family, who knows if he still has

ties to them?"

Towards the Shelby family, Evan Daniels always maintained a degree of wariness. The Shelby family,

among the four major families of Middleton, had always been an anomaly. They conducted their

business discreetly, not showing off their strength.

Who knew what kind of enormous power the Shelby family was hiding?

"However... Even though Chris Shelby has swept through the gray area of Jacksonville, if he wants

the Chester Group to firmly establish itself in Middleton, he must set up a branch in Middleton."
