Tyler then continued, "How's the work done by Hashimoto? Is he competent?”
Reuben sneered and said, "Quite good. According to him, the car rolled down a few hundred meters from a cliff. After that, it was burned into a pile of scrap metal. Presumably, everyone involved has turned into ashes." 2
Tyler said in satisfaction, "Very good!"
He then continued, "By the way, before your departure, did your grandpa suspect anything?"
Reuben replied, "I don’t think so. However, I'm not sure if he will be suspicious later.”
Tyler snorted, "Good. He won't have many days left." 1
Reuben's heart skipped a beat, then he asked hurriedly, "Father, are you going to take action against grandpa?"
Tyler answered, "No, not so soon."
Reuben said worriedly, "Father, don’t forget that the old man has spoken on the day when Jasmine was announced to take over as the head of the Moore family. In the event that Jasmine has no descendants, the leadership role will be taken over by Charlie. So, shouldn't we get rid of that old man as soon as possible before Charlie replaces all of us?!" 3
Tyler said, "If we were to act against the old man right now, along with the fact that Jasmine has died overseas, we will obviously become the main suspects. Even if there is no evidence to prove us wrong, still, the outsiders will think otherwise!"
Reuben then asked nervously, "What should be done, then?! We can't just wait and watch as the old man brings Charlie in to lead our family, right? If that's the case, we'll all be finished! We're definitely no match for Charlie!" 4
