Chapter 369
On the other side.
After Gavin and his wife returned to their old house in Vlento Court, the more they thought about it, the angrier they became. Adding on to the fact that they had nothing to get their minds of this, they cursed Joel’s family crazily.
They scolded everyone in Joel’s family, from the parents and grandparents to the children.
They could only blame themselves for not teaching Joel well. That was why Joel became so impudent. He was immoral and did not know how to respect his older brother.
Quentin and his wife listened for the entire night and did not dare to make a sound.
The next morning.
Gavin sent a message to Arthur and asked the Donovan family to write a guarantee to them that this house in Viento Court would be transferred to their family and Joel’s family would not have a share.
Arthur was so angry that he wanted to cut ties with Gavin on the spot, but he endured it and did not reply immediately. He only took a screenshot of Gavin’s request and sent it to Joel to sow discord between the two brothers again.
Since Joel’s family and Gavin’s family had already deleted each other’s contacts and blocked each other, the Donovan family could say whatever they wanted.
Joel and his wife were so angry that they almost vomited blood when they saw this. They replied: [Gavin’s family had really gone too far! Auntie cannot agree to this!]
Arthur then sent another message: [My mother would not dare to agree…]
Then, he stopped talking to Joel and sent a message to Gavin instead: [Joel told us that if they can’t get the house, they would live in our restaurant until they died. We can’t let that happen so we can only agree to his demands for the time being. Anyway, it will take at least half a year to process the new property deed.
[We’ll see if the house ends up being given to you or Joel. Let me remind you that Brandon hates Joel to death now. Don’t learn from Joel and threaten to cause trouble at the restaurant because this will affect our business. Brandon has said that if you dare to go to our restaurant, he would chase your entire family out of the house.]
With that, he turned off his phone.
Gavin and his wife were extremely anxious.
Although they could live in this house for free, they still had to spend money on food and necessities. Furthermore, the two children would start school at the end of August. If they wanted to study in Kitmore City, they would need the Donovan family’s money to do so.
They then contacted Maria.
Maria said faintly, “I’m taking care of grandfather in the hospital and I’m so tired. Lean’t decide on the house anyway so you guys should just look for Brandon.”
With that, she turned off her phone and pretended to be dead.
Gavin wanted to go to Donovan’s Restaurant to look for Brandon, but he was afraid that Brandon would fly into a rage really chase them out of the house.
Just as he was at his wits‘ end, he suddenly received a text message on his phone with a phone number attached: [You can look for a person called Andrew Kennedy. He can help you. This is his phone number.]
Gavin saw hope so he called back without thinking, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not get through.
Helpless, he could only try to call Andrew.
This phone number was Andrew’s private number and only people close to him knew about it. Hence, he immediately answered his phone when he received Gavin’s call.
After knowing that the caller was actually Claire’s eldest nephew, he was taken aback for a long time. Then, he thought of an idea and smiled as he told Gavin, “I can help you guys. Are you free tonight? I’ll treat you to a meal and we can talk about it later. Remember to come alone. Do not let anyone know that we’ve met, including your family.”
In addition, he was in the production team and did not have any family members around him, so he did not think of discussing this with the others. He only wanted to take this opportunity to teach the Donovan family a lesson. He casually replied, “I was once a good friend of the young master of the Donovan family. We studied together for many years, but they looked down on me after they became rich so I’m unhappy. Also, it’s fine if they treat me like this, but you’re their family yet they treat you like this too. I can’t stand people like that so I’ve decided to help you. If you believe me, come and see me alone tonight. If you don’t believe me, forget it.”
