My Substitute CEO Bride -
Chapter 1513
Hunter was boasting in his social media group chat.
[The Hill family will be a partner of Southern Heaven Group in the future. In less than five years, we'll be one of the top five elite families in Jonford!]
[You're amazing!]
[How powerful!]
[Mr. Hunter, you should give us some money!]
[Yes, give us some tips!]
[Hahaha, don't worry, the tips won't stop tonight. I'm giving away 20,000 dollars. Get ready, everyone!]
As Hunter relaxed with his feet on the coffee table, preparing to flood the chat with money, he entered his payment password only to replace that his bank card had been frozen. "What the hell?"
Confused, Hunter sat up straight and tried another card. It was also frozen. In disbelief, he tried all of his dozen cards. All were frozen.
What was going on?
Sweating, Hunter called his grandfather.
"Grandpa, why are all my bank cards frozen?"
"Ah... The Hill family is finished..." Gaspard said weakly and lifelessly over the phone.
Half an hour later, Xeno brought Gaspard back to his home. Hunter and the other relatives had already been waiting outside the villa for a long time. Overwhelmed, Hunter exclaimed, "Mr. Hun, you personally brought my grandfather back? Grandfather, did the talk go well?"
He believed this was why Hera arranged for Xeno to escort his grandfather. It was a true show of status.
Xeno chuckled through his cigar. "Enjoy your last night in the mansion. Tonight, my men and I will protect you. No one will disturb your peaceful sleep."
Confused by Xeno's words, Hunter cautiously asked his grandfather, "Grandfather, what is Mr. Hun saying?"
Head hung dejectedly, Gaspard replied, "The Hill family is finished. Tomorrow, we'll have nothing. In fact, we already have nothing."
The family was stunned and gathered around him to replace out what happened.
...
The next morning, Hera and Eva personally escorted Peter and his great-grandfather to the villa. All of the Hill family members were gathered in the living room. Over the course of one night, Gaspard's hair had turned completely white, as if he had aged 20 years. Eva tossed a contract onto the coffee table and said coldly, "Just sign it. Our chairman will give each of you a settlement of 20,000. If you don't want to sign it, that's fine too. I have plenty of other means."
"We can't sign this! We can go to the police. We can sue!"
"Yes, our family's assets are worth billions! We can't just give them away like this!" However, their protests were in vain.
With trembling hands, Gaspard signed his name on the contract. He had already sought advice from Henderson the previous night. He had seen him and Xeno smoking together when he left Aureus District last night. Approaching the Inspection Office or even the governor would be futile. The settlement would at least allow them to stay in a hotel for a while. After signing the contract, Xeno and his men promptly evicted the Hill family from the villa.
That same afternoon, Jonford's financial and legal news outlets jointly reported a shocking criminal case involving Jonford's newly prominent philanthropist, Geoffrey Hill.
According to Jonford Finance, this hypocritical 'gentleman,' was overwhelmed with guilt and transferred all of the Hill family's assets to his illegitimate son, Peter Hansel, who would now become Jonford's youngest billionaire. Jonford Law reported that the Jonford Supreme People's Court had just confirmed that Geoffrey Hill's trial was complete. He was found guilty of homicide and child trafficking and was sentenced to immediate execution.
