Bringing the Farm to Live in Another World

Chapter 355: Lord's Mansion

The Thirteenth Young Master now looked ashen, staring blankly at Wells, murmuring, “I see, the family actually knows about this. How is that possible? It can’t be! I’ve acted so successfully over the years, and no one has ever discovered it. Why is this happening?”

Upon hearing this, Wells couldn’t help but sneer, “So, the Thirteenth Young Master already knew about these matters. Good. I will report this to the family, saving you from further questioning. What are you waiting for? Take the Thirteenth Young Master away.”

The development of the situation could be described as a twist of fate. Zhao Hai initially thought that by saying that to the Thirteenth Young Master, his collaboration with the Shelley family would fall through. However, he never expected such a dramatic change to occur; it was beyond his expectations.

Wanhao glanced at the still-dazed Zhao Hai and smiled slightly, “I apologize, sir, for ruining your mood. Please wait a moment; I will have them prepare.” After saying this, he waved his hand gently, and immediately someone came up to drag the Thirteenth Young Master away. At the same time, the attendants quickly came over to clean the table and restore the restaurant to normal.

Laura and the others, who were following Zhao Hai, were also stunned. They hadn’t anticipated that things would turn out like this; it was completely unexpected.

A few of them sat down, but Laura and the others could only stand. Zhao Hai glanced at Laura and the others, then turned to Wanhao, saying, “Manager Wanhao, could you arrange a place for these people to eat? There’s no need for them to follow me here; just let them retreat. They’ve been following me these days, which must be quite exhausting.”

Wanhao, accustomed to grand occasions, naturally had no objections. He just smiled, “I have been rude, please forgive me.” After saying this, he waved his hand, and soon an attendant came over to lead Laura and the others away to rest.

Zhao Hai did this because he didn’t want Laura and the others to stand by and watch while they ate, which made him feel quite uncomfortable, so he sent them away early.

In the restaurant, apart from Zhao Hai and the two other men, only the attendants remained. Wells looked at Zhao Hai and smiled, “Sir, you weren’t angry just now, were you?”

Zhao Hai chuckled, “No, in fact, this matter isn’t worth my anger.”

Wanhao smiled and said, “You truly have a great temperament. Haha, this time you have really helped us a lot. Because Ryan’s attention is focused on you, our family has managed to take action to resolve the aftermath. The family has already begun dealing with Duke Ryan; I believe they won’t be in the spotlight for much longer.”

Zhao Hai smiled slightly, “As long as someone isn’t out of their mind, ordinary people wouldn’t dare to provoke a colossal family like the Shelley family. A family of this size has such deep foundations; it shouldn’t be easily moved.”

Wanhao’s face showed a hint of pride, but it quickly faded as he sighed, “To be honest, this time the family is indeed very endangered. We never expected that to deal with us, they would actually marry a woman into our family. Then, after this woman had a child, they would have the child destroy the family’s business. The whole plan has actually been in motion for decades; it’s ruthless.”

Not just Wanhao, even Zhao Hai felt a chill down his spine after hearing Wells’s words. To destroy the Shelley family, the Thirteenth Young Master’s mother’s family could go to such lengths; it was truly remarkable. People in this world were indeed too insane.

Wells turned to Zhao Hai and said, “Mr. Wells, are you here to collaborate with the Karlqi family? Mr. Wells, I consider you a friend, so allow me to say something you may not want to hear: with your current strength, you’re not qualified to collaborate with the Karlqi family. Their threshold is quite high.”
