Chapter 190 Just Await Our Demise
“Yet, you think the Smith family is qualified to be my dog?”
The instant those words rang in their mind, the expressions of Hugo and his two sons turned frightfully grim. Hugo, especially, was gripped by the urge to crawl into a hole.
Before coming to the Turner residence, he had imagined all kinds of ways in which Timothy could humiliate them. Still, never had he expected him to say that the Smith family was not even qualified as the Turner family’s dog.
“Mr. Turner, the Smith family—”
Hugo wanted to say that the Smith family still had some other value, but Timothy cut him off impatiently before he could even finish his sentence. “Scram! I only agreed to meet the lot of you because I thought Josephine was willing to give in and apologize on her knees before me. I never expected it to be just you few old geezers! If I’d known, I wouldn’t even have deigned to see you! What a waste of time! Buzz off!”
He waved a dismissive hand, not even in the mood to see them for a second longer.
“Mr. Turner—”
Just after Hugo had called out his name, Timothy interrupted, “Get lost! Did you not understand me? Don’t make me repeat myself! If the lot of you haven’t disappeared from my line of sight within ten seconds, you need not leave anymore!”
With that said, a dozen burly men in black suits zipped out from nowhere and surrounded all three of them.
From the looks of it, they would certainly have no qualms sending them across the great divide if they dared utter a single word of rejection.
“Understood, Mr. Turner! We’ll leave at once!” Hugo struggled up from the ground with a dark expression on his face.
The head of the Smith family had never expected things to end in such a manner when he had come to apologize in person. In his mind, he had assumed that the Turner family would pardon them as long as he gave up on the ecological park project and banished Josephine from the Smith family.
However, all he had received from Timothy was scorn.
Worse yet, they were even regarded as less than a dog.
“Hah! They should really take a good look at themselves in the mirror! Bold of them to think that their family is worthy of being our dog.” Timothy harrumphed, staring at the three men leaving with their tails between their legs. Then, he snapped his fingers which called forth a burly man in black.
“What’s the progress of the matter I ordered you all to do this noon?” Timothy asked nonchalantly after the man greeted him respectfully.
“We failed,” the burly man in black admitted with his head hung low.
Slap!
Timothy swung his hand and struck him across the face upon hearing that. “What a bunch of useless creatures! What’s the use of me hiring the lot of you when you can’t even mow someone down?”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Turner! I will take full responsibility for it!” At that slap, the burly man in black dared not utter a single word of protest, dropping to his knees before Timothy with a thud.
“Why did it fail?” Timothy asked while wiping his hand with a piece of tissue.
“We were a second away from succeeding, but someone suddenly jumped out from beside her and blocked the car for her,” the burly man in black replied in a low voice.
“Oh? Someone actually blocked the car for her?” A flash of surprise flickered across Timothy’s face when he heard that. “I never expected that worthless live-in son-in-law to be the loyal sort!”
“Mr. Turner, should I lead some men there tonight and eliminate them both?” the burly man in black inquired, lifting his head.
