‘He’s from New Orleans, Louisiana!’
Tom’s American accent became even more apparent and Charleston immediately recognized it. It was a New Orleans accent! And “kass twa” was a swear word usually heard in that region!
Charleston had done business all over the US so he could recognize all the unique accents. He did not expect Jordan’s swearing would end up exposing Shaun Handley’s origins!
New Orleans was a place known for the occult. Charleston was always a little wary when he visited that region.
Charleston said with a serious expression, “Enough. Jordan, bring Lota back to her room to rest.”
Seeing how upset Lota was, Charleston couldn’t deal with her “father” properly if she was present.
Jordan hugged Lota and glared at Tom. He warned him, “You better behave yourself here. Otherwise, my Zephyr Three will instantly destroy your place!”
The Handley family had all kinds of bizarre methods. Jordan was still a little worried.
After Jordan brought Lota out of the room, Charleston smiled politely. “My grandson is young and impetuous. He’s insensible and offended you. Please don’t mind him. Kindly have a seat.”
“Thank you.”
After Tom sat down, Charleston asked, “Mr. Handley is from New Orleans?”
Tom looked surprised. On one hand, it was because Charleston called him Mr. Handley. That meant Charleston already knew that Tom Schmid was actually Shaun Handley.
On the other hand, he was surprised that Charleston managed to correctly deduce his origins.
Tom laughed. “Mr. Steele is indeed impressive. That’s right, I’m from New Orleans.”
Charleston was a little surprised that Shaun would admit it so quickly. “Mr. Handley, aren’t you afraid that I’ll record your admission?”
If Charleston was recording their current conversation and handed the recording to the Rong and Geng families, the Handley family would be in deep trouble.
Shaun smiled. “Mr. Steele has always been open and aboveboard. You wouldn’t do such a sneaky thing. On the other hand, your descendants are unscrupulous, especially your grandson, Jordan. He cursed me the moment he saw me. He’s detestable!”
Charleston said, “Mr. Handley, you seem to know the Steele family very well? Did you also consider controlling my family back then and making us your puppets?”
Ever since Charleston knew that Shaun was controlling the Schmid family, he had thought of this question.
Like the Steeles, the Handley family was from the US. The Steeles should be their first choice if they wanted to take over one of the eight great families! As both families were Americans, it would be easier to copy their ways.
As a result, Charleston concluded that Shaun had definitely considered targeting the Steeles in the past.
Shaun smiled but did not answer.
Of course, the Handley family had designs on the Steeles!
