Chapter 901 Avery Breaks Rhett's Two Hands
"Spit it out already. Do you think I'm like you, with no family or career? My wife and kids are asleep. You call me to a place like this in the middle of the night, how dare you?" Ethan didn't hold back and threatened Vincent.
Vincent, holding a beautiful woman in his arms, deliberately disgusted Ethan.
Ethan suppressed his anger. Could he really beat him up?
He had to accept it. This was the lunatic his grandfather had chosen for him.
"Sweetheart, give me a kiss," Vincent signaled the woman in his arms to kiss him and then leave.
The woman was thrilled. Being with a man like Vincent, who was the real benefitor?
He was handsome and generous, giving out tips worth thousands of dollars like it was nothing.
"Hottie, come find me next time you're here," the woman said happily, holding a thick stack of tips as she walked out.
"You're a bit tacky," Ethan couldn't stand Vincent's vulgar behavior.
Vincent Dressed like a noble vampire but acting like a nouveau riche, who gave tips in thick stacks?
"You don't understand. Nowadays, girls like this kind of straightforward and rough affection," Vincent said, indicating that Ethan's thinking was outdated.
Ethan didn't want to engage with Vincent.
Vincent sat up straight and lowered his voice. "There's no record of the Cunningham family's dealings with Kavi on Mark's hard drive. Do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?"
"Many people in the business circle now think it's impossible for the Cunningham family to have no connection with Kavi. They've even formed a group to isolate the Cunningham family. The Cunningham family's position in the business circle is indeed a bit awkward," Ethan said in a deep voice. "But without substantial evidence, it means the Cunningham family is safe."
"You are wrong," Vincent shook his head. "There's another possibility: the person behind the Cunningham family is above Kavi.
People in the Muskow business circle know that Kavi is actually a big network of interests. Even if you produce evidence, it might not bring him down because he's not a domestic citizen but a Muskow citizen. Someone above will protect him. But he unexpectedly died the day before his trial, which means there's another layer behind him."
In any field, there was always someone more powerful.
"What does this have to do with the Cunningham family?" Ethan frowned.
"Aren't you quite smart?" Vincent knew Ethan had already guessed but was unwilling to admit it.
"Under Cordelia's management, the Cunningham family has indeed achieved its current success. However, a female entrepreneur, especially in a societal environment like Muskow, is not highly regarded. To reach today's status is definitely not a coincidence. No one believes there isn't someone supporting her from behind. This is also why people in the business circle have been encircling the Cunningham family—they want to force out the person behind them."
To see if it was someone they couldn't afford to mess with.
If there's really someone behind the Cunningham family, they will choose to collude with the Cunningham Group and make money together. If there's no one behind the Cunningham Group, they will swarm in and devour the Cunningham Group, tearing it apart.
The business world was always like this – judging by background, family, and ability, adapting to the circumstances, and eyeing opportunities greedily. Today they watched the skyscrapers towering; tomorrow they watched them topple. This was all part of the natural evolution and social law.
The Cunningham Group had developed exceptionally well in recent years, seizing opportunities and capturing the Silverlight City market. Naturally, this had annoyed many people and sparked a lot of jealousy.
Now, with a son-in-law like Ethan, they had a connection with the Raymond Group, making others even more anxious.
With a limited amount of benefits available, the Cunningham family had taken most of them, causing others to panic.
"The person behind the Cunningham family, protecting them, has a higher status than Kavi. This person is really well-hidden," Ethan said in a deep voice.
"After Kavi's death, someone immediately took over in Silverwood, and illegal activities continued to grow." Vincent leaned back on the sofa. "Who could care so much about the Cunningham family and help them? Excluding Arnold, who else could it be?"
Ethan shook his head.
At the moment, he really couldn't guess.
Vincent sighed, "But this is secondary. With this person around, at least the Cunningham family has a way out. But I don't recommend the Cunningham family having any ties with him. Once entangled, it will be like the Hawthorne family, unable to break free."
That would be self-destruction.
"The Cunningham family and the Raymond Group will never engage in illegal transactions," Ethan assured in a deep voice.
"The Murray family and the Powell family have been targerting the Cunningham family. What's your plan?" Vincent looked at Ethan. "The Murray family is not easy to deal with. Rhett is insidious and cunning, good at using despicable means."
"No matter how despicable, can he be more despicable than you?" Ethan raised an eyebrow.
"Watch your words," Vincent smiled.
"The Murray family and the Powell family want to enter the Silverlight City market. This time, let's give them the key to the market door, open the door to let them in, and then close the door to attack," Ethan said in a low voice.
"Aren't you afraid of inviting wolves into the house?" Vincent looked at Ethan.
"Just them?" Ethan was very confident.
"Don't underestimate the enemy," Vincent reminded.
Ethan nodded and glanced at the time. "That's about it. I need to go back to sleep."
"If you can't handle it, take some medicine to boost your health," Vincent teased.
Ethan gave Vincent a warning look. He would be ruined by that mouth sooner or later.
When Ethan returned, he was very careful, afraid of waking his wife and kids.
The kids didn't wake up, but his wife did.
Jasmine leaned against the door frame, squinting her eyes. "Sneaking out to drink in the middle of the night?"
Ethan felt a bit nervous. "Which lunatic ratted me out..."
"What happened?" Jasmine stepped forward and hugged Ethan.
She was already used to having Ethan by her side. When he left, Jasmine would wake up.
She couldn't sleep well without him.
"Vincent discussed the Powell family and the Murray family with me. You don't need to worry about this. Edward and I will handle it. You just focus on eating, sleeping, and your own work," Ethan said, lovingly holding Jasmine's face and kissing her forehead.
"I've been having nightmares lately, always feeling like something is going to happen," Jasmine sighed.
The Cunningham family is now in the spotlight, which is indeed worrisome.
"Don't worry," Ethan comforted.
"Lily has come to Silverlight City, hoping to use this project to break into the Silverlight City market. She's overly confident," Ethan said softly. "The Powell family wants an opportunity, so they gave Lily this chance. But if she can't handle it, the Powell family will have to reconsider her as a useful pawn. Let them fight internally."
Jasmine smiled helplessly. "Who can be more shrewd than you?"
However, whatever outcome Lily faces in the future, it will be the path she chose.
In Avery's Residence.
Avery had just fallen asleep when Rhett used the house key to open the door.
Avery was very alert, especially after spending months in prison, waking up at the slightest noise.
But Rhett didn't think Avery would wake up. He had the housekeeper put sleeping pills in Avery's milk that night.
However, he didn't know that Avery hadn't drunk it.
Rhett slowly approached the bed, looking at Avery lying there, and smirked.
Avery, with her back to Rhett, sneered.
Some people just like to court death, and she couldn't be blamed for that.
The room was dim, with no lights on. Rhett slowly lay on the bed, intending to make a move on Avery.
Avery raised her hand, grabbed his wrist, and with a crack, dislocated his shoulder with a reverse joint.
The pain was so intense that Rhett couldn't even scream, and the lights were still off.
Avery picked up a nearby ornament and smashed it heavily on Rhett's head, knocking him out.
Even after knocking him out, Avery wasn't satisfied and broke both his wrists.
"Help, there's a thief!" After finishing everything, Avery pretended to be panicked and rushed out of the room, crying out in a flustered voice, "Call the police, there's a thief in my room!"
