Chapter 159 The Wales Come
As the eldest son of the Wales and the only son of the family, he was deeply adored by the seniors in his family.
The Wales was not as powerful as the four big families, but they had developed rapidly in the north of Casier. They were sort of a powerful force.
That day, Nash returned to the Wales’ and told his family about what had happened. After hearing Nash out, Gary Wale, Nash’s father, flew into a rage.
“How foolish of you! I sent you to school for your future career and for you to make more friends. But you just ruined your reputation for this little interest!”
Nash just sat there quietly and didn’t talk back. He was aware that his father was bad- tempered. If he talked back to Gary, Gary would be more infuriated and even punish him more harshly.
He still needed his father to deal with this matter. So, at this point, he had to bow. He had learned that Catherine and her friends didn’t mean to let them go when he left school. They had handed the evidence to the school. The principal had known about this matter and felt quite mad.
He hurriedly took a leave of absence and went back home. The principal still needed some time to confirm if the evidence was true. And Nash had to deal with this matter before it was made public.
Bailey Wale, Nash’s mother, who couldn’t bear to see her son being scolded, asked Addison Wale, Nash’s grandfather, to come and stand up for Nash.
Addison hit the ground hard with his stick and glared at Gary. “How foolish of you! Don’t you know what kind of man your son is? How can he do such a thing? At worst, he merely connived with his subordinates and covered them up.”
The Wales didn’t lack money. As the only son of the Wales, Nash was surely not short of money. All the resources and wealth of the family were invested in him. How could such a proud man do that kind of thing?
Addison was clear about everything. He flew into a rage upon hearing that Gary was reproaching Nash.
“You idiot, you can’t even see this through!”
Scolded by Addison, Gary didn’t dare to argue back. After Addison finished speaking, he turned to look at Nash with an angry expression.
“Tell me. Who on earth are you covering up? Just say it. I’ll call your principal and deal with this matter right now!”
Nash pursed his lips and said nothing. He agreed with Liana to keep her safe, so he could never disclose her. Even if he didn’t mention Liana, once this matter was exposed, Liana would be found in the end. He could never let this happen.
In his eyes, Liana was a kindhearted and innocent girl. He must protect her well. Addison knew better about Nash’s temper than Gary. He was aware that given Nash’s attitude, Nash would never say it.
“Fine. If you don’t want to say it, just don’t.”
Hearing Addison’s words, Gary immediately shut up. None of the Wales dared to disobey Addison. As Gary shut up, Addison settled his gaze on Nash. “Tell me what’s going on. Who is targeting you?”
Addison knew well about Nash’s competence. If it weren’t because Nash couldn’t deal with the problem, he wouldn’t turn to his family for help. An obsessively proud man wouldn’t bow easily.
Nash was also aware that he must come clean now. Otherwise, Addison couldn’t help him. So, he told Addison what he had known. After hearing Nash out, Addison nodded. “Do you mean the Swanns and the Duncans?”
“Yes, Grandpa. But the main problem is Catherine Swann. Bryan always listens to her. As long as we deal with Catherine, this matter will be easily resolved!”
“Is Catherine the daughter of the Swanns who just came back?” Addison asked.
Nash nodded. “Yes, she is!”
“It’s fine then!” Addison thought Nash had offended the Duncans. Although Bryan wasn’t the direct line of the Duncans, he was raised by Karl as his own grandson.
The Wales had some forces but were not as powerful as the Duncans. If they offended the Duncans, they would be in big trouble.
The Swanns was also one of the four big families, but Korbin valued immediate interests. He would be fine with everything as long as he was given enough money.
The point was that Catherine was merely a daughter of the Swanns, who was just brought back from the countryside. She was not even a real lady of the Swanns. Korbin wouldn’t offend the Wales for her.
Catherine was an unfavored daughter of her family while Nash was the future heir of the Wales. It should be an easy choice for Korbin.
Addison directly said to Gary, “You’ll go to the Swanns’ with Nash and talk this through with Korbin. Let’s see how to deal with this!”
“Yes, Father.”
At the Swanns’.
The sudden visit of Gary and his son directly struck Korbin dumb. He barely dealt with the Wales. Even if the Wales wanted to seek cooperation, they couldn’t come to the Swanns’..
Korbin hastened to put aside his work and invited them in. Gary was quite straightforward. As soon as he entered the door, he directly told Korbin why he came here today.
Korbin initially thought something serious had happened. Unexpectedly, they were here for some conflict between Nash and Catherine. He found it quite hilarious.
“Mr. Wale, it turns out that you’re here for such a trifle. You shouldn’t have come yourself.” With a serious look, Gary said to Korbin, “Mr. Swann, if this thing happens to your son, a trifle?” will you think it’s
From where he and Korbin stood, a daughter was different from a son. They believed that their families should be inherited by a son. The reputation of the heir of the Wales wasn’t a trifle at all.
Thinking that Nash had done something wrong before, Gary made an offer first. “Mr. Swann, we’re wrong on this issue. You’re interested in the land project in the north of Casier, right? Would you like to join the project?”
Korbin’s eyes lit up at once when he heard that. He had longed to join that project, but the Wales was powerful in the north of Casier. He needed to gain the Wales’ approval if he wanted to be part of it.
He had been unable to find a way. To his surprise, a chance came to him on its own. Korbin loved the bait offered by Gary. Instantly, he changed his attitude. Korbin immediately put on a stern look and criticized Catherine strictly.
“Mr. Wale, I’m really sorry. My daughter grew up in the countryside since she was little. She is unruly and insensible. This time, she was brought back because my dad passed away. And I’m too busy to discipline her, which ruins the friendship of the two families.
“She’s too insensible. I’ll discipline her well. No worries!”
Gary’s eyes glistened. He knew that Korbin had agreed. “Thank you then. I still have things to do. I’ll be going with my son now.”
