Chapter 16: Kicked to the Ground

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

As for the Jiang family, Howie finally received a “Distinguished guest”– the Chairman of the Ma Group, a 45-year-old divorced man, Joe Ma.

“Father-in-law, after you.” Joe Ma smiled very flatteringly. When he thought about how he could marry a beautiful woman who had once been a movie star overseas, Joe felt that he must have hit the jackpot.

Even if he was called father-in-law by a man who was only a few years younger than him, Howie accepted the role calmly. In his opinion, finding a rich and powerful husband for Yuna was already fulfilling his duty as a father.

Hence, Howie clinked glasses with Joe and said, “Yuna is resting in her room upstairs. You can go see her later and get to know her better..”

After the two of them had their lunch, Nancy brought Joe to Yuna’s room. When he saw the person sleeping on the bed, Joe was stunned for a moment. He turned and saw Nancy winking at him before closing the door ‘considerately.’

How could Joe not understand what the Jiang couple meant? Immediately, he felt joyful.

He did not expect the Jiang family prepared to sacrifice so much to marry off this daughter. If he did not grasp this chance well, he would be so untactful.

As he approached Yuna step by step, Joe’s gaze gradually turned lewd as he looked at the beautiful woman lying on the bed.

When his hand was about to touch Yuna’s snow-white shoulder, someone kicked him with a massive force from behind.

Joe was sent flying by the kick and crashed heavily into the cabinet by the bed.

He was in so much pain that he grimaced in pain. Just as he was about to curse, he saw the tall man who had already picked up Yuna and stuttered, “Yo… Chairman Yo?”

All businessmen in the Imperial City would have recognized Frank Yo. He was rich, powerful, and influential. Joe had no chance to speak to Frank even if he wanted to curry favor him.

Frank carried Yuna and left. Xiao Chen, who was behind him, came up to Joe with a sinister smile. “You have designs on our Madam, don’t you?”

Hence, Joe watched as a few burly men approached him and rolled up their sleeves, scaring him so much that he could not help but crawl backward. But his back was already tightly pressed against the cabinet door. There was nowhere to run.

When Frank carried the unconscious Yuna downstairs, a man’s miserable cries came from Yuna’s room.

Howie and his family, who were in the living room, were held by a few burly men. They looked at Frank with fear and nervousness.

Chloe and Shaun, caught in their sleep, were among the family members. Chloe, who had been in the entertainment industry, naturally recognized the Chairman of Linxia Company, Frank Yo. She asked anxiously, “Chairman Yo, what’s wrong?”

Why would the Chairman of Linxia appear at the Jiang family home with Yuna in his arms, as if they were very close?

Frank gave her a cold glance, walked over to Shaun, who was timid like a quail. “Who are you to her?”

Shaun subconsciously glanced at Chloe, who was already crying, realized something and said in a low voice, “Boy… boyfriend…”

However, this reply immediately attracted a slap from the stout man beside him, “Speak honestly!”

Shaun was stunned by the slap. In such a situation, he was scared to tears and begged for mercy, “Nothing, I have nothing to do with her!”

“What about Chloe Jiang?” Frank asked.

“She has nothing to do with me as well! I’m not familiar with the Jiang family at all!” Shaun was so scared that he almost peed himself. He was afraid that he would be implicated, so he quickly distanced himself from the Jiang family.

“What did you say? You have nothing to do with me? You…” Chloe saw Shaun’s expression and found it hard to believe, she subconsciously questioned him, but when she saw Frank frown impatiently, she was so scared that she kept quiet again.

Frank looked at the motley crowd and was about to leave when he heard Howie angrily say, “Who are you?! You’ll go to jail for trespassing!”

Frank looked at him as if he was looking at a fool before striding out.

Xiao Chen, who was left behind to tidy up the job, was in a good mood. It was the first time he saw his boss care about someone so much. He teased Howie, “Who trespassed? Do you have any evidence?”

Howie was stuck and said, “You kidnapped my daughter! I’ll call the police!”

His words made Xiao Chen laugh. “Her surname is Xiao and not Jiang. How is she your daughter? Did she write your name in her household register, or is she willing to acknowledge you as her father? What’s your concern? Go and call the police. Let’s see which one of us will enter the police station faster?”

After Xiao Chen packed Yuna’s things, he left the Jiang family with his team.

The people who had finally gained their freedom were still in shock. Nancy hugged Chloe and cried, “This gang of robbers, robbers, call the police quickly…”

Chloe and Howie said in unison, “You can’t call the police!”
