Karl Moore definitely could not use a gun in front of so many reporters.
Jill was certain of this, but she still felt panic when she saw Karl Moore approaching her step by step. "W-What are you doing?"
Karl Moore smiled and suddenly held her hand. He aimed her dagger at his chest and exerted some force. "Aren't you looking for someone to die with? Why are you making things difficult for the child? As her father, I have let her down along with you. In that case, why don't I accompany you?"
Jill was stunned. She subconsciously pulled the knife back.
But Karl Moore pulled hard and stabbed himself in the chest. The tip of the knife pierced his skin and blood flowed out. Jill's eyelids twitched.
However, Karl Moore did not seem to feel any pain. His eyes were still filled with anger and determination. "Look, as a father, I didn't even know that I had a daughter. As a mother, you didn't treat her well, either. The child doesn't owe you anything. It's clearly the two of us who owe the child. Since you want to find someone to die with, then I'll do it with you! Why make trouble for our daughter? Don't you agree?"
He squeezed the knife against his chest again. "Come, use a little strength and it will go in. Then, you will kill yourself. This way, we will be repaying our debt to our daughter!"
"Lunatic!" Jill watched as the knife stabbed into his chest. She was so frightened that her hands relaxed and she took a few steps back. She shouted angrily, "Lunatics, you're all lunatics!"
But Karl Moore held the knife and played with it in his hand. "Aren't you killing yourself?"
Jill glared at him.
Karl Moore said, "Why must you make things difficult for your daughter? Do you have to see her unhappy? Can you stop disturbing your daughter's life?"
With just a few words, he changed the topic.
Jill still wanted to say something, but Karl Moore took a step forward and said, "You regret it again? Then, come, kill me..."
Jill retreated.
Karl Moore took another step forward. "Are you dying or not? Speak frankly! If you're not... then get lost!"
Karl Moore's expression suddenly darkened.
Jill had seen how terrifying he was. She was so frightened that her entire body trembled. Then, she ran out. "Lunatics, you're all lunatics!"

Since the person involved had escaped, the reporters no longer surrounded the Smiths' house.
At this moment, Joel stepped forward and said, "It's not easy for you reporters to come here. How about this? Everyone, come in and have a drink!"
With that, he gave the butler a look.
The butler immediately understood something and greeted everyone warmly.
Who among the reporters did not want to visit a wealthy family like the Smiths? When they heard this, they were very happy. They were welcomed inside by the butler.
It was time for the butler and reporters to build relations with each other so that the reporters would refrain from spreading rumors. Of course, everything was handled by the butler on his own.
As the family head, Joel no longer needed to care.
At that moment, his gaze landed on Tanya and Karl Moore.
As he expected, Tanya was looking at Karl Moore with a concerned face.
Actually, he could have stepped in and settled Jill earlier. Joel had plenty of ways to deal with someone as shameless as her.
And anyone present could easily beat her back.
However, no one made a move and Karl Moore was given the chance.
Their goal was to help him get closer to Tanya.
From the looks of it, it had worked.
After the reporters were settled in, the group returned to the living room of the residential area.
Tanya's gaze landed on Karl Moore's chest. She asked, "Nora, are his injuries serious?"
Before Nora could say anything, Karl Moore said, "It's not serious, not serious! It's just the upper skin. It's nothing.
I don't even bother to look at such injuries, it'll heal by itself."
His words stunned Tanya. "Do you get hurt often?"
How could he not be injured after being in the mafia all year round?
Karl Moore hurriedly shook his head. "Not often. Just occasionally. Occasionally... hehe..."
He scratched his head and revealed an honest expression. "Tanya... Can I call you by your name?"
"..." Tanya pursed her lips and said unhappily, "It's your mouth, I can't control what you call me."
Although her tone was awkward, she agreed.
Karl Moore was overjoyed. He immediately took out a black card from his pocket in excitement and handed it to Tanya. "Tanya, this, this card is for you... You can buy anything you want! There's no limit!"
