Chapter 249 Tiberius Gets Imprisoned
Victor, a dude who held his pride higher than anything, was down on his knees in front of Luke, all for the Lewis Family.
But Luke was just using this to throw shade at the Lewis Family.
Victor's face was pale as a ghost. Everyone else was dead silent. Only Tiberius was ready to step up. He wasn't gonna drag the Lewis Family down with him.
Paul, the manager of the Foster Family, showed up fast, bringing some cops along.
Paul wasn't a big deal in Sunset City, but he had some clout with a big family. Still, compared to the Carter and Martinez Families, they were small potatoes.
When he heard Luke had hooked up with the Martinez Family, he came running.
"Dad."
Luke walked over, tissues stuffed up his nose, still bloody.
Paul gave him a pat on the shoulder, "Luke, nice job. Now that we're in with the Martinez Family, we might actually make it big in Sunset City."
Then he turned to the Lewis Family, who looked like they were at a funeral, and yelled, "Who had the guts to hurt someone?"
"I did," Tiberius stepped up.
Tiberius was just twenty-one, about seven feet tall, and a bit on the chubby side. His round face was full of swagger as he spat and cursed, "Yeah, I did it. Come at me, but leave the Lewis Family out of it. If I was scared, I wouldn't be Tiberius."
Paul told his two security guys, "Break his legs."
The bodyguards nodded and headed for Tiberius, cracking their knuckles.
"What are you doing?" Victor tried to stop them, "Aren't you afraid of the law?"
"Grandpa, what are you doing?" Oscar pulled Victor back, "Now's not the time to speak up. Let Tiberius take the fall, or we're all screwed."
"You idiot," Victor snapped, "Didn't I teach you anything? A family sticks together. He was helping Julia. Now that things went south, you wanna bail?"
Paul laughed, "Anyone who tries to stop us, we'll take them down too. Start with Victor."
A bodyguard walked over and kicked Victor, sending him to the ground. The hit made him wince in pain.
The Lewis Family just stood there, frozen. Only Tiberius balled up his fists and charged, yelling, "You hit my grandpa? I'll kill you!"
"Beat him," Paul ordered.
The bodyguards rushed Tiberius, who didn't stand a chance.
They grabbed him, kicked him to the ground, and started pounding on him.
Tiberius's screams echoed, but the Lewis Family didn't move.
Victor got up, sitting on the ground, tears streaming down his face. Tiberius was beaten to a pulp, barely hanging on. In the end, the cops took him away.
Paul didn't want to push things too far, so he left the rest of the Lewis Family alone.
The Foster Family left, and the Lewis Family huddled together, crying.
"Why is this happening?"
"Why are they doing this to us?"
"Grandpa, do something. Are we really gonna end up on the streets tonight?"
Victor was out of ideas. "I'll call Larry."
Oscar quickly said, "Grandpa, are you nuts? It's clear Larry set us up. You still trust him?"
Julia nodded, "Yeah, they're probably all together right now, laughing at us."
"Larry ain't that kind of guy," Victor shook his head. Even though he was old, he still had a sharp sense of judgment.
Larry was way better than his lazy descendants. Ignoring everyone else's objections, he called Larry.
The Lewis Family.
Larry was already in bed.
The phone rang. He rolled over, got up, and grabbed the phone from the table, seeing it was Victor. He frowned, thinking, 'What's gone wrong now?'
He answered, "Grandpa, what's up?"
Victor filled Larry in on the situation.
"Got it. Wait for me at the Pearl Harbor Hotel. I'll be there soon."
Larry hung up, looking serious. Chloe, who was already in bed, asked, "What's going on?"
Larry, getting dressed, said, "Something's up with Grandpa. I'm gonna check it out. You go back to sleep."
"I'll come with you," Chloe said, getting up.
Larry waved her off, "I'll handle it. It's just a small thing."
"Okay, be careful."
Larry nodded, got dressed, and headed out, driving to the hotel.
On the way, he called Sue, "Sue, what the hell are you doing?"
Sue was chilling at home when Larry called and started chewing her out, "Larry, what's happening?"
Larry explained the situation. Sue broke out in a cold sweat.
"Larry, I'm so sorry. This was my bad. I'll fire the secretary right away for screwing this up."
Larry cut her off, "Fire the general manager of the Pearl Harbor Hotel immediately and send someone from the group to take over. I'm on my way there now."
"Okay, I'll be there ASAP."
Knowing Larry was on his way, Sue didn't waste any time. She got up, got dressed, and called the headquarters of the Epoch Group, arranging for someone to take over the Pearl Harbor Hotel. She also had someone notify the current manager.
Larry got to the Pearl Harbor Hotel in less than half an hour. Not far from the hotel, the Lewis Family was sitting on the roadside, looking miserable.
Larry parked and got out. Seeing him, the Lewis Family suddenly perked up and started cursing at him.
Larry ignored them and went straight to Victor, looking apologetic, "Grandpa, I'm sorry. I messed up, but I'm handling it. The hotel manager will be here soon."
"Larry, did you come here just to mock us?" Oscar pointed at Larry and cursed, "You're just a useless son-in-law. How can you get connected with the hotel manager?"
"Enough," Victor scolded, "Can you shut up?"
Oscar finally shut up. At this point, Victor had no choice but to trust Larry. He looked grateful, "Sorry to trouble you so late."
Larry waved it off, "It's nothing. Just wait a bit."
He waited outside the hotel with the Lewis Family.
The general manager of the Pearl Harbor Hotel, Kyle Davis, had just finished hooking up with a beautiful woman and turned his phone back on. He got a call right away.
"Get to the hotel immediately and gather all the managers for a meeting."
This call was from the headquarters of the Epoch Group, who had acquired the hotel but hadn't announced it publicly. Only the general manager knew about the acquisition.
Kyle looked at the time. It was already 1 AM. But he didn't dare to delay.
He notified the hotel's HR department to call the management for a meeting in half an hour. He also started getting dressed and quickly headed to the hotel.
