Chapter 591 A Good Kid
Raymond saw that he was simply dressed, without even a watch on his wrist, and laughed, "You? Where did this young man come from? so arrogant!"
Ulysses took out his phone and directly dialed Stuart's number. Once connected, he said, "Uncle! Someone is bullying me, I want their family to go bankrupt!"
After he finished speaking, he turned to Kismet and her father and said, "Just wait and see!"
He then took Isadora's hand and respectfully said to her parents, "Let's go, we don't argue with people who are about to go bankrupt!"
When Isadora heard him call "Uncle," she knew it was the one in business.
She also pulled her parents, "Let's go!"
Isadora's parents didn't expect Ulysses to come, and this wasn't the place to talk, so the four of them quickly left.
Kismet, however, angrily said, "Dad, are we just going to let them go?"
Raymond snorted, "They may leave now, but they can't escape. The Penrose family will be finished sooner or later!"
"But that guy just called and said he would make us bankrupt."
"Who is he trying to scare? Who does he think he is!"
Just as he finished speaking, Raymond's phone rang. He answered it, and after a few words, the color drained from his face. "Mr. Stewart, you can't do this. My equipment factory is all set up. If the loan doesn't come through, all my efforts will be wasted."
The call was abruptly ended from the other side.
Raymond couldn't care about anything else and strode out.
Kismet called after him, "Dad!"
"Get lost!" Raymond roared, "Don't bother me!"
Kismet widened her eyes in disbelief.
At this time, Isadora had already gotten into Zander's car.
Ulysses was also pulled in by her.
Although Ulysses had met Isadora's parents outside her house before, it was just a brief greeting.
Sitting in the same car today, he couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy.
Isadora asked again, "Why are you here? I didn't contact you."
Ulysses said, "My stepmother called me, oh, the pregnant woman who came with you just now is my aunt, and the one next to her is my stepmother."
"What?" Isadora was surprised.
She had almost fought with Kismet like a shrew, and Ulysses' family had seen it all?
Delphine also felt a bit embarrassed.
If they really became in-laws in the future, it would be quite awkward.
Ulysses said, "My aunt and stepmother called me to come and thank you and Mrs. Penrose. They said you are straightforward and righteous, and they like you very much."
Isadora felt a bit shy, "I'm not that great."
Hearing Ulysses' words, Delphine knew that the other family was well-mannered.
At that time, she was only focused on arguing, but now thinking back, Josephine was stunningly beautiful, and Kathy was also elegant and poised. With such a family, no wonder they raised a good child like Ulysses.
Ulysses said, "Of course you are. Don't worry, I called my uncle, and he will teach them a lesson."
Zander finally spoke, "Are you talking about the Carter Group? Actually, you don't need to worry, he used to be able to make me bankrupt, but he doesn't have that power now."
Ulysses said, "People like him are no good. Why keep them around if they don't go bankrupt?"
"He has backers, otherwise, he wouldn't have. You should call your family and tell them not to do such things, it's too dangerous."
Ulysses said, "It should be fine, right?"
Zander shook his head and sighed, "He has powerful backers."
Before he could finish, his phone rang. It was an old friend calling.
He answered, and before he could speak, the old friend said loudly, "Zander, I have good news for you, the Carter Group is bankrupt!"
Zander was shocked, "Bankrupt?"
He pulled over to the side of the road to get more details.
The person said, "You know how much money they invested in this project, now that the loan didn't come through, their cash flow is cut off, bankruptcy is just a matter of time!"
"That's true, but didn't they have backers? How did the loan fall through?"
The person said, "There must be someone more powerful behind this. I asked around, and they said someone wanted to teach him a lesson."
Zander had long-standing grudges with him, and now with both old and new scores settled, he couldn't be happier. "That's great!"
After hanging up, he couldn't wait to share the good news with his family.
After the initial shock, Isadora said, "Could it be Ulysses' uncle who did it?"
Zander also thought of this and looked at Ulysses, "What kind of business does your uncle do?"
Ulysses said, "It's a bit of everything, all sorts of things."
Zander initially thought that with such power, it must be a big business.
But hearing Ulysses say this, he felt that it probably wasn't his uncle who did it.
A business that did a bit of everything, could it be a big business?
But he was still grateful for the thought.
The Carter Group going bankrupt was a good thing overall.
Afterwards, they returned to the Penrose Mansion and chatted for a while, and Isadora's parents had an even better impression of Ulysses.
They insisted on having him stay for lunch.
Isadora said, "Then stay."
Ulysses said, "It's my first visit, and I didn't bring any gifts."
"This is a special situation, you can bring something next time," Isadora replied.
Delphine laughed, "What are you talking about? No need for gifts, just come."
Isadora said, "Why not bring something? Other boyfriends bring gifts when they visit, why shouldn't he?"
The family was harmonious and happy.
In the afternoon, Ulysses and Isadora went to school together.
On the way, Ulysses received a call from Stuart.
Stuart asked, "Is your girlfriend's family okay now?"
Ulysses quickly said, "Everything's fine, Uncle. I heard the Carter Group went bankrupt?"
Stuart said, "Yes, people like that are a disgrace to business people."
"So, it was you who helped?"
Stuart said, "What help, we're family, no need to say that."
Ulysses hung up and looked at Isadora buying bubble tea nearby.
Isadora bought it and handed him a cup. "Who was on the phone?"
"My uncle, he was just worried about you."
"I'm fine, thank your uncle for me." Isadora said, "Your family is really nice, all good people."
In the evening, Gerald came back and also heard about the incident.
"You two..." He pinched his brow, "Why are you so curious? It's fine this time, but what if there was a real fight and you got hurt?"
Kathy said, "What era is this? Who still fights? Besides, we kept our distance. We only went over because we heard that girl was Ulysses' girlfriend."
After hearing the whole story, Gerald also had a good impression of Isadora, "She seems like a good kid."
Kathy said, "I had some doubts about that Ulysses needs to marry into her family before, but after meeting her today, I feel reassured."
