All Vireo could do was endure it. There was even a moment when Vireo desperately hoped that his adoptive parents could be killed in a traffic accident. That would have been the best! While looking at his three sisters, who were all looking dumbfounded, Vireo was actually gloating. Following behind his adoptive parents, Vireo said extremely apologetically, "I'm sorry, Madam Gloria, for causing you trouble.”
Gloria smiled pleasantly at Vireo. "Vireo, I finally knew how difficult your life was in the past. Don't worry. You have loved ones i n South City. These loved ones certainly will not let you go through the hardships you've once been through in the past anymore. Don't worry, son."
Video instantly felt moved. "Thank you, Madam Gloria. It's already enough that you didn't blame me. They..."
Speaking of that, Vireo looked at his adoptive parents and his three sisters. He originally wanted to say that everything that they had done had nothing to do with him, so if they had harmed Madam Gloria, then she would ask Madam Gloria to tell the police about everything that they had done. Let the police handle this matter. In the end, before Vireo said anything, his adoptive father, Lucius, spoke first instead and his tone was very aggressive.
"Do you think I'm afraid of you? Is the King staying in your house? Let me tell you something! My son's friend is the richest and most powerful man in South City. He is the director of the Ford Group, Mister Ford! He will back us up! He is going to come over soon! It's impossible for you guys, the people of South City, to not have heard of the director of the Ford Group, Mister Ford, right? You're all so arrogant! Each and every one of you is so arrogant! But, which o f you could possibly compete with Mister Ford?"
Lucius kept mentioning Mister Ford when i n fact, Lucius had no clue who was Mister Ford at all. He had only heard from his daughter while they were on their way over that Mister Ford was the most powerful man in South City. No one in South City dared to say no to Mister Ford, and there was nothing that Mister Ford could not do i n South City as well! Mister Ford was simply the King of South City. That was the information that her daughters had passed to Lucius. Lucius did not care how great the people here were, much less take Old Master Shaw, who had a dignified and mighty expression, seriously. That was because he knew that the person that would be baking them up was Mister Ford, the King of South City.
Vireo was first stunned when he heard his adoptive father mention Mister Ford. Immediately after that, he looked at Sabrina. Sabrina responded to him with a smile. She meant to tell him not to worry and everything was in control. Sabrina’s eyes were telling Vireo that his troubles would soon be resolved. Also, it would be resolved in such a way that there would not be any more lingering issues after that. This time, everything would be severed in one fell swoop. Even though Sabrina did not say a single word, Vireo understood her. Vireo felt moved beyond words.
However, Vireo was also indeed a man with a conscience. He suddenly looked at his adoptive parents, as well as his three sisters, with a forlorn gaze. "Dad, Mom, Chloe, Ashnah, and Abigail, I want to ask you a question and you have to be honest with me. My friend, Mister Ford, and I can only help you after you have told me the truth. Since the police are here as well, we can also resolve our issues at any time. I want to know, is the purpose of you guys coming to South City this time to move my three sisters' children to South City and then let me support them?"
Abigail was the first to answer and his tone was very firm. "Vireo, you're considered an observant person. You immediately know what we want. Think about it, you're not married, so the people who are closest to you are, of course, your three nephews. If you do not love your nephews, then who are you supposed to love? "
"Great! But, you must first see if Vireo is my brother or your brother!" A voice could suddenly be heard coming from behind them.
