The people in the hall looked up at where the source of sound was and saw a beautiful doll sitting on
the guardrail with her legs swaying in the air and a slingshot in her hand. No one took any safty
measures nor did an adult guard her.
Ophelia finally knew the perpetrator who caused the pain in her body. She was so angry that her whole
face turned green. She didn’t expect that she would be defeated by that bitch Olive, then was teased
by this little bitch again.
“Whose child is she?”
“She should be Mr. Hoyle’s daughter.”
The adults were shocked, but they were surprised at the little girl’s bravery and the calm voice that
radiated from a young age.
Olive also raised her voice. What was going on with Kent? He said that he would take the kid to watch
a good show at the top, but he allowed Annie to do such dangerous thing while didn’t know which
corner he was hiding at.
Annie took her slingshot, aiming at Finn and giggling, “Dad, this uncle seems to have dementia. Do you
think we need to enlighten him to treat Grandpa’s amnesia?”
Finn’s face looked really ugly. Ophelia was so angry that she sneered at Olive, “Olive Steele, is this the
good daughter you raise? She doesn’t have a bit of self-cultivation.”
“Cultivation?” Olive simply smiled, “I would like to ask Ms. Meyer to tell us mother and daughter what
cultivation is?”
“Mommy, it’s not like you don’t know that Auntie Ophelia has a very high level of cultivation. We can’t
learn it even if we learn it for a lifetime.” Annie kept her slingshot and counted with her fingers, “For
example, kidnapping, threatening, deceiving, causing car accident, secretly changing paternity test
result, telling tales…”
There was a lot of discussion. They had also heard about these things. Now that a little girl said it in
such a mocking tone, some people were somewhat shocked, vaguely feeling that something big would
happen tonight.
“You…” Ophelia flushed with rage. She really wanted to rush upstairs to slap that little brat a few times.
What kind of monster did Olive give birth to? What a fluent mouth.
Finn shot a meaningful glance at his daughter, then smiled at Olive and said, “Ms. Steele, my daughter
is young and ignorant, and had done some hurtful and wrong things. Here, I apologize to you. Please
accept my sincerity.”
Olive was disgusted. It was a waste that this whole family didn’t pursue acting career. To not give Finn
Meyer a credit for his acting was an insult for him.
Alan was also disgusted, but his expression remained the same. His faint smile always carried a cold
knife. “Uncle Finn, if you want to say young, my wife is two years younger than your daughter. I take
notes everything she had done to my wife. I also already know everything what you did to my father, to
the Hoyle like the back of my hand. I also won’t beat around the bush with you anymore. How about I
ask everyone here and you to listen to a recording?”
Finn forced himself to be calm. Under Alan’s pressure, cold sweat started to break on his forehead.
As Alan snapped his fingers, a distant voice seemed to come from hell.
“Mr. Wood, how much money isn’t a problem. As long as I can buy Alan’s life, I’ll pay even if it’s a sky-
high price.”
“Mr. Meyer, outsiders think that you’ve always taken good care of Alan Hoyle and regarded him as your
son-in-law. Yet you want his life now. If it’s because he abandoned your daughter at the wedding, even
though it makes sense, it’s still a bit far-fetched.”
“I might as well tell you the truth. This kid Alan has a hold of my deadly secrets and I can’t let him. Now,
his wings are growing big and he keeps looking down at me. It’s a disaster to keep him.”
“Deadly secrets?” There was a pause, thinking. “Could it be that Mr. Meyer did the disaster in the Hoyle
Family six years ago?”
“Mr. Wood, take my money and help me to eliminate the disaster. You better hear less of the other
things.”
“Hahaha, okay, okay.”
The recording stopped abruptly here. It was very short, but the information revealed was enough to
make everyone’s faces shifted. That Mr. Meyer’s voice was indeed belonged to Finn Meyer in front of
them.
“Finn Meyer, is this true? Did you plot to murder the late Mr. Hoyle? He was your sworn brother. How
could you?”
“You wicked man. Such a vain to regard you as a friend. I’ve been wrong about you.”
“Why did you do it?”
Accusations came one after another. These people were who usually had some friendship with the
Hoyle. Hearing such recording at this moment simply overturned what they knew about this world. They
didn’t expect that a farce between the children would develop into this way.
Ophelia grabbed Alan’s shirt to defend her father, “There are so many ventriloquists now. You can find
anyone to imitate. Alan, ask yourself. After Uncle Hoyle passed away, how did my father treat you? He
treated you as his own son, and even had the thought to give all the Meyer’s companies for you to
handle. If he really wanted to hurt Uncle Hoyle and target the Hoyle Group, he could kill you six years
ago, putting the Hoyle Group in his own pocket. But he didn’t do it. Why do you believe such recording
that we don’t even know where it comes from?”
Annie sighed deeply again, “Uncle Kent, don’t you think we should give Auntie Ophelia an Oscar?”
Kent responded from a hidden corner, “Have you ever seen what a trophy looks like?”
“I’ve ever seen it on TV.”
“We should make one later with plasticine. It’s not bad to hold another awards party too.”
Annie clapped, “Sure, sure! We can also give Grandpa Finn an actor award.”
After saying that, it made the Meyer so angry that it drove them mad, but they couldn’t do anything.
They didn’t even realize where the man, who was talking, was hiding.
Alan casted an admiring look at his daughter and smiled a little, “The recording can be faked, but it’s
real. I wonder if Uncle Finn has a twin brother.”
Finn was taken aback for a moment, not knowing what he had up his sleeves, “What do you mean?”
Alan simply said, “Nothing. I just want everyone here and you to watch a short video. If you have a twin
brother, as a junior, I’ve found it for you.”
The lights in the banquet hall suddenly dimmed, then a strong beam of light hit the white wall. The
image of the projector moved on the wall.
Finn Meyer’s impressive figure was in it, sneaking through the study and looking for something. He
finally found two files in the drawer of the bookshelf. With a treacherous smile, he stamped several
chapters against the document he carried. The document’s cover was printed with an impressive big
words writing Hoyle Group’s Equity Purchase Contract.
The picture froze at a clear look of Mrs. Hoyle’s private seal and Hoyle Group’s official seal.
The lights were turned on again. Alan stared at Finn, “Uncle Finn, can you please explain, since when
do you become the person in charge of my family’s shares?”
Simon on the side said, “Mr. Meyer, I think you never even dream that Steward is Mr. Hoyle. I forgot to
tell you that Steward has a meaning of guardian in our British culture. Steward is Hoyle Group’s
guardian. It’s just a waste of effort for you to scheme. Using you Chinese’s words—clever people may
be victims of their own cleverness.”
Finn took a step back unsteadily, “How is it possible?”
It turned out that all of this was a hole dug by Alan, waiting for him to jump inside. He still
underestimated him. What he said about just wanting his woman and not Jiangcheng turned out to be
just a smoke bomb.
Kent’ voice floated in the air like a ghost again, “Do you guys think there’s someone who doesn’t have
anything to do like buying and selling their own company in this world? Old fox, I advise you to better
plead guilty. We have enough evidences of your crimes in our hands to destroy you.”
“Who are you?” He only afraid it’s that person with the last name Bai.
Kent sneered, “Me? I’m the person who you’re thinking. Why do you still ask?”
“Kent Bai.” As if to confirm the last doubt in his mind, Finn called out his name. “You two really have
formed an alliance.”
The crowd was in an uproar again. The name Kent Bai wasn’t unfamiliar to them. He was even a
legendary character. He was a character they dared not easily provoke. He was a mysterious person,
just like now. They wanted to see him, yet he hid in the dark. But he had a panoramic view of
everything in the scene.
Kent laughed, “I just received a new video on my phone. It’s pretty interesting. Do you guys want to
continue watching it?”
The lights suddenly dimmed. The projector switched to a hospital ward. A doctor wearing a white mask
came in for rounds and stood for a while in front of Mrs. Hoyle’s room. He turned to look around, then
shut the door. He took out a syringe from his pocket, pierced it into the drip tube that was infusing Mrs.
Hoyle, and quickly poured the liquid into it.
If the person just left, it might be difficult to find out who he was. But after successfully doing all this, he
pulled down his mask, revealing Finn Meyer’s face with a sinister smile. He leaned down and
whispered, “Sis-in-law, you can rest in peace.” Then he left with satisfaction.
These series of well-founded facts strongly impacted everyone’s perception. Finn Meyer and his family
took advantage of the dim lights and everyone’s attention was focused on the wall to silently retreat to
the door of the hall, trying to escape.
He had to know that all of this was under surveillance.
“Finn Meyer, do you think you can walk out easily after entering here?” Evil voice sounded like a ghost
on top of the Meyers’ heads.
It was just a step away, but it looked so far.
Someone stepped up and sternly said, “Finn Meyer, you leave because you feel guilty. Shouldn’t you
give the Hoyle an explanation?”
“What a waste for me to respect you so much. You’re actually a madman.”
“It turns out that everything is just a false appearance. This is your true face. We’ve been wrong about
you.”
Alan laughed at all of this—whether it was sincere, a crusade against them, or for hitting them who had
fallen down.
