Chapter 56 Your Dad Is Nothing
Chloe called and said the matter was resolved.
Larry returned home again, set the table, and waited for her and the others to come back for lunch.
They came back quickly.
As soon as they walked in, Larry sensed something was wrong.
Everyone in the family looked off.
Chloe and Mindy had tear stains on their faces.
With a puzzled look, Larry asked, "Chloe, what's wrong? Didn't you say everything was resolved? Where's Sam? Why didn't he come back with you?"
Chloe glanced at him and then started crying in grievance.
"What happened?" Larry quickly comforted her, "Whatever it is, just tell me. I can handle it."
Maria sighed.
Larry asked again, "Maria, what's wrong? Why are you sighing?"
However, no one in the family spoke up.
After they sat down, Larry went to the kitchen to get utensils for everyone and said, "Come on, let's eat and talk."
Chloe, with tears in her eyes, said, "Larry, let's get a divorce."
Larry was stunned.
He stood there in a daze.
It took him several seconds to react. He sat down and lit a cigarette.
He asked calmly, "Why?"
Maria also looked apologetic and said, "Larry, I'm really sorry. Even though you don't have money or power, I admit you're very considerate and do a great job with the housework. But you and Chloe just aren't a good match."
Maria had noticed Larry's efforts during this time.
To give her dignity, he even asked his boss for a car to take her to the military district.
That was the most dignified moment of her life. But now, Chloe was very outstanding, and only someone more outstanding was worthy of her.
Larry asked again, "What exactly happened? Can you tell me?"
However, no one in the family spoke up.
"Scott." Larry looked at Scott.
Scott glanced at Maria, saw her nod, and then said softly, "Here's what happened..."
He recounted the events.
Upon hearing this, Larry got up and left.
"Larry." Chloe choked up, stood up, and called out.
She wanted to chase after him but was held back by Maria. "Chloe, let him go. Anyone would feel hurt in this situation. Give him some time to get over it. When you have money in the future, compensate him a bit. After all, he did cure you twice."
Chloe cried sadly. She didn't care about Ivan or any wealthy family.
She only loved Larry. But between family and love, she chose family.
She knew that Larry must hate her now, hate her whole family, which was why he left in anger.
Larry left the Lewis family directly and took a cab to the Majestic Union.
The Majestic Union was the most famous leisure club in Sunset City.
It was an entertainment venue that combined a bar and a bath center.
At the basement, in the Majestic Union.
Sam was brought here, tied up, and hung.
After bringing him back, Jacob used his connections to find out his identity because he was also afraid of offending some government officials.
He feared nothing but government officials. Because of his past misdeeds, if he offended those officials, they could easily bring him down.
After learning that Sam was just a nobody from the Lewis family, he sighed in relief.
He sat in a chair, looking at the tied-up and hung Sam.
Squinting his eyes, he smiled faintly and said, "Sam, I didn't want to mess with you, but why did you have to run into me?"
"I was wrong, please... please give me a chance."
Sam, beaten black and blue, kept begging for mercy.
At this moment, someone walked in and said, "Mr. Moore, someone is here, saying they brought money to ransom Sam."
"Bring them in."
"Yes."
Soon, Ivan was brought in by a few subordinates.
As he saw Sam tied up, hung, and beaten black and blue, Ivan's legs went weak, and he almost fell to the ground. But thinking about getting Sam out and winning Chloe, he mustered up his courage.
Moreover, there were many stories about Jacob, and he knew Jacob was not someone who would easily cause trouble.
He walked over, looked at Jacob sitting in the chair, and offered a cigarette.
Bending over, he smiled and said, "Mr. Moore, hello, I'm Ivan from the Anderson family. My dad is Tyler Anderson, and he once had dinner with you."
Jacob chuckled lightly and said, "So you're Tyler's son. Yes, I did have a few meals with your dad, so we know each other. But Sam offended me, not only hitting my car but also being rude. If I don't teach him a lesson, people will say I'm incompetent."
"Mr. Moore, Sam does deserve a lesson, but Sam's sister is my woman. Look, I came personally. Can you consider my dad's relationship with you..."
Jacob's face darkened, and he grabbed Ivan's hair. "Your dad is nothing. Even if he came personally, I wouldn't let Sam go easily. I said one million dollars, and you can take him away."
Ivan knew Jacob kept his word, which was why he dared to come.
Otherwise, no matter how bold he was, he wouldn't dare.
He thought mentioning his dad's name would waive the money.
It seemed that to get Chloe, he had to spend some money.
"Mr. Moore, don't be angry. I brought the money. I'll pay, but... can you reduce it a bit considering my dad's relationship with you?" Ivan asked tentatively.
Jacob let go of Ivan. "Fine, a bit less, 800 thousand dollars."
The Anderson family was also a big family with some power. Although Jacob wasn't afraid, with Free King in power now, he wanted to avoid trouble if possible.
So he reduced it from one million dollars to 800thousand dollars.
Ivan felt the pinch.
Although his family had money, and 800 thousand dollars was a small amount, it wasn't his money.
800 thousand dollars was Jacob's pocket money for several months.
To get Chloe, he quickly decided and nodded. "Yes, Mr. Moore said 800 thousand dollars, so it is. Direct transfer, right?"
"Yes." Jacob nodded, then pointed to a subordinate standing beside him. "You, take him to transfer the money."
"Yes." The subordinate nodded.
Then he took Ivan to transfer the money.
Soon, Ivan paid the money and returned to the basement.
Sam was also let down. But after being locked up here, beaten, and hung for a while, he had already passed out.
"Mr. Moore..." At this moment, a subordinate rushed in, looking flustered. "Someone broke in. Many of our people have been knocked down."
"What?" Jacob was instantly furious.
This was the Majestic Union, and everyone in Sunset City knew this was his territory. No one dared to cause trouble here.
"Who is it?"
"It's me." A voice echoed.
As the voice came, some men holding iron rods and machetes rolled into the basement.
Jacob turned and saw an unfamiliar face. Seeing his subordinates knocked down and some retreating, he knew this person was not ordinary.
He reached for his back, gripping a weapon, his face gloomy, and asked coldly, "Who are you?"
To get to where he was today, he was cautious in everything he did.
He feared offending a big shot and losing everything he had worked for half his life.
"Larry." A cold voice came.
