Chapter 241 Your son is a dumbass!
At Ernest Johnson's home in the Paris Bay neighborhood, Kyle sat at the dining table, enjoying a hearty meal of chicken, duck, and fish. Karen sat beside him with an affectionate expression on her face and said, "Darling son, eat more. You must have been so hungry. Here, let me get you another spare rib."
"Thank you, Mom!" bit Kyle happily into the spare rib, his face filled with satisfaction.
Karen sighed. "Little Kyle, you have no idea how worried I was when I found out that you were detained by a loan company. I was so scared. Luckily, you were fortunate enough to escape that calamity."
Kyle asked Karen, "Mom, where did you get those two million US dollars? Do we still have that much money in our savings?"
"Well..." Karen hesitated for a moment, thinking about the money she had obtained by apologizing to Ryder that night. An inexplicable anger surged in her chest. She waved her hand and answered, "Ah, it doesn't matter where the money came from. I’m just glad you came back safely!"
At this moment, Ernest, who was sitting on the other side, asked, "Kyle, I have a question for you. How did you lose the five million dollars that were meant for investment?"
In fact, this confusion had been weighing on Ernest 's mind for a long time. Although he was a bit of a loser and couldn’t do much, he had at least been responsible for a division's business in the past. He had some understanding of investing and starting a business in the market. It was extremely rare to lose all five million dollars of a principal in less than a week and owe even more money to a loan shark.
"Uh..." Kyle was taken aback by this question. He felt a bit caught off guard and guilty. Where had he actually invest the money? After receiving the five million dollars, he had thought about investing and making money that way.
But after listening to his friends' suggestions, he realized that he wouldn’t earn money that quickly if he started a business. What was the fastest way to make money? It was gambling, of course. He needed to take a risk and turn. And then... well, he had seen the results.
Five million US dollars had been lost.
There was no way he could get the money back, so he planned to fake his own kidnapping and trick his family into giving him two million.
He continued gambling.
And lost it all again...
He also owed the casino over half a million.
Now, people from the casino were searching for him all over the world.
He quickly returned home to seek refuge.
As Kyle was struggling to come up with a reason to explain, Karen scolded Ernest, "You useless man, why are you saying so much nonsense? Our son is feeling regretful and aggrieved, and you won't even console him even though you’re his father. Instead, you keep reopening old wounds. What are you doing?"
"What?"
Ernest was stunned for a moment and hurriedly explained, "Honey, I didn't mean that. I was just curious about where the money went..."
Karen glared at Ernest fiercely. "Shut your stinking mouth! What does the money have to do with you? In the end, this is about our son's entrepreneurship. Even if he lost, it's still a learning experience. It doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing. After all, back in the day, people like Jack Ma didn't succeed his first time either! At least he's much better than cowards like you!"
Ernest was speechless and decided to keep his mouth shut.
Karen then comforted Kyle, "Son, don't listen to your dad's nonsense. No matter what happens, I’ll stand by your side and support you!"
"Yeah! Thanks mom, you're the best!" Kyle said sweetly.
Karen looked content and indulgent.
Knock, knock, knock!
Just then, someone vigorously and urgently knocked the door.
"Who is it? Don't break the door again!"
Karen complained and then said to Ernest, "You, what are you standing there for? Go open the door!"
Ernest responded with an "oh" and hurriedly went to open the door.
Creak!
When he opened the door, he saw five or six gangsters standing outside.
They looked like thugs.
As soon as he saw the people at the door, Kyle, who was eating his meal, choked.
He wondered if was the creditors from the casino coming to collect.
Surely it wouldn't happen so soon.
The leader of the gangsters at the door said coldly, "This is Ernest and Karen's house, right?"
Ernest instinctively nodded, "Yes, it is. Who are you guys?"
The leader of the gangsters angrily said, "Do you guys have a relative named Dominic? He hit our boss’s Second Uncle with a car and now we need one million US dollars for his medical expenses. Dominic said your family can pay, so we've come to collect. Where's the money?"
"What?"
In the evening, in a private room at The Pint House.
Almost all the core members of the Johnson family were present to welcome Sandra and Annie.
Grandma Johnson sat in the main seat, with Sandra to her right and Annie to her left!
It was clear how important those two were to Grandma Johnson.
Ever since Sandra returned, the members of the Johnson family felt as though they had found a savior.
Even though Sandra had not taken any action yet, they had already started envisioning her leading the Johnson family to a turnaround.
Grandma Johnson touched Sandra's hand and said, "Janie, can you say a few words to everyone?"
Sandra stood up, swept the Johnson family members with a cold and proud expression, and said, "To be honest, I didn't want to attend this dinner tonight. Do you know why? It's because some people’s incompetence has led the Johnson family to their current plight. They should have been kicked out of the house and not be sitting here for a meal!"
The members of the Johnson family all lowered their heads, not daring to argue.
Sandra continued, "However, no matter what, we are still family. It's not good for us to fall apart at this time. After all, if it weren't for Ryder Clark, our family wouldn't be like this.
"Therefore, my goal for coming back this time is clear - to ensure Ryder Clark meets a bitter end.
"Mom has already told me that I will be handling all the affairs of the Johnson family during this time. The rest of you clearly couldn’t handle it."
The members of the Johnson family hurriedly responded.
"Of course! Janie, you have the final say!"
"Yes, yes! Now that you’re leading the Johnson family, Ryder Clark and Sarah Johnson are nothing, hehe!"
"Come on, let's toast to you!"
"..."
Sandra nodded slightly with satisfaction, raised her glass, and drank a toast with the members of the Johnson family.
Then, everyone began to eat.
Matthew asked Sandra curiously, "Janie, can I discuss something with you on behalf of Second Brother?"
"Speak!"
"Hehe! Um, Andy got accidentally detained while dealing with Sarah some time ago. Juanni, you have a wide network of influential people. Can you ask someone to get him out? After all, he's your nephew!"
Sandra snorted coldly, "I've known Andy since he was little He's just a dumb donkey who only knows how to use brute force. What's the use of letting someone like him out? It's better to keep him detained for a few more days and let him suffer a little so he can grow up!"
Matthew didn't dare argue when Sandra called his son a dumb donkey. He laughed awkwardly and nodded in agreement.
Then, he anxiously asked, "Juanni, how do you plan to deal with Ryder? Tell us about it!"
