Chapter 2354
"Hello? Is this the Phin Group? I would like to work with you in South City... What? You can’t. Your company had long been working very closely with the Ford Group. You have always been relying on supplying raw materials to the Ford Group. If you stop supplying to them, then wouldn't you be breaking their supply chain... What? He can still import the raw materials from the southeast region... Alright, then."
"Hello, Roddy. It’s me, Keegan. Yes, I have returned to the country. My company is very large abroad. You know that one as well. It already has assets that are worth more than ten billion dollars. I now want to tidy up the business circle of the South city. The Shaw family... You... What did you say? What's wrong with my family? We have never relied on the Ford family, much less Sebastian Ford! What a joke!"
"Hello, Mister Jimenez... Oh, you... It's out of respect to Mister Ford that you came to attend my grandfather's funeral? Ask him to go to hell!"
Keegan was so angry that he almost threw his phone away. How could that be possible? He was just an illegitimate child! He had always been the illegitimate child that was treated badly since childhood! Who would have expected that thirty years later, this illegitimate child would become the symbol of South City? He would be so powerful in South city that a simple stomp of his foot would create a huge shockwave.
When Keegan's other two brothers saw such a scene, they both felt incomparably resentful. However, there was nothing that both of them could do. They could only watch with their eyes wide open as waves after waves of people came to offer their condolences. Even if they humbly nodded and bowed at these people to greet them, the people also ignored the three brothers. On the contrary, when these people saw Sebastian, they could not help but praise him.
"Mister Ford is so generous. You've taken out time from your busy schedule to be in charge of the Shaw family's funeral. It must not have been easy for you. Old Master Shaw's life has been worthwhile to have you as his grandson-in-law!"
Sebastian, who had been standing at the door, nodded slightly at everyone who came. He was not asking for anything else. He simply wanted to let his mother-in-law and his wife justifiably mourn the death of the old man. He also wanted to repay the kindness old Master Shaw had shown his mother by saving her back then. For the sake of all these, he had to take control of the Shaw family. As for the matter of how the three Shaw brothers, Keegan, Caelus, and Lokni, would hate him after that, that was a matter for a later time. Sebastian has never been afraid of anybody. He had never been afraid when he was young. He was in the prime of his life at that moment, so he was even more unafraid.
It was just that he surely was going to be very occupied those few days. He had to personally take care of everything and he also had to take care of his company at the same time. Sebastian was so busy that he only returned home in the middle of the night every day. It was fortunate that his daughter, Aino, had already grown up. The thirteen-year-old girl already knew how to take care of her home and her two brothers, when her mother and grandmother were mourning her great-grandfather, Aino was doing her homework while watching over her two brothers at the same time without any complaints, when it was late at night, Aino, who had already finished her homework, still had to put her two brothers to bed in the nursery, when Sebastian came home late at night and saw that scene, he could not help but feel sorry. Aino had already fallen asleep while laying on her chest on her brothers' little bed. Sebastian wanted to carry his daughter back to her room, but Aino woke up.
"Dad, is it very hard on my mom and grandma to kneel on the floor?" asked Aino.
Sebastian nodded. "Mm-hmm. It's very hard."
"Mom and grandma's health is not that great. If they keep kneeling, I will feel very heartbroken." Aino teared up as she said that.
Sebastian hugged his daughter. "They will be fine. My little princess only has to study well every day, and they will be very happy."
