C9 What Was the Real Reason?

The hot summer breeze was extremely hot, making Jovie feel restless and uneasy.

When she saw what was written on the note, her anger boiled and she could not help but want to curse.

It wrote: Stay at ease for the time being and exchange for Keane's trust. One month later, I will come out of the house for family matters. I will wait for you at your house to take you to school in the Sea City. See you!"

'Damn it! Can I curse? Why is this man so despicable?'

Jovie thought back to the first time she saw the note and the way she looked today. She wanted to slap herself.

'This dog is really good. This trap is set up one after another.' She had worked hard for more than a month, but it was all in vain.

After returning home with anger all over her body, Jovie looked at the messy yard and the bloodstains on the ground. She was dumbfounded!

'Didn't they say it was just a reason? Why did it turn out like this?'

The noises in the room came in intermittent noises. The pots and pans were smashed onto the ground, creating a series of crackling sounds. Her heart was in her throat again.

"Back then, when you guys borrowed money, you said that you would treat this girl, Jovie, well. Now, you want to go back on your word? No way!"

Before she even stepped into the living room, she heard Shirley's loud voice coming from her parents' bedroom.

"I really can't make the decision for Little Nuan's marriage. First, let's not talk about whether Little Nuan has any feelings for your family's Brad. You are still Little Nuan's aunt. Brad and Little Nuan are cousins. How can they be together?"

Winona had always been a soft-spoken person, and she would never argue with anyone. This time, she was so anxious that her tone had become a lot more forceful.

"What are you talking about? Did you adopt her? Her surname is not even the same as yours. Do you really think she is your own child?"

Shirley snorted. She glanced at Winona with disdain and pulled her son, who was happily gnawing on her nails, onto the bed. She then sat down on the bed with her back facing the group of hooligans.

"Either you give Jovie to my son obediently, or you use this house to pay the debt. Continue smashing!"

"Who else would dare to do that?"

Hearing Shirley's ruckus, Jovie dragged a chair into her mother's bedroom.

After sweeping her gaze across the colorful hooligans, Jovie pulled Winona behind her and raised a chair to smash it towards the hooligans. The fierce and ruthless look in her eyes scared everyone.

"Shirley, can you be any more shameless? I didn't scold you for bringing a stupid son to my uncle. How dare you try to harm my uncle and come to my house to ask for money and a house?"

Jovie, who had gone all out, could not withstand the onslaught of seven or eight delinquents.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Brad is your uncle's son."

Shirley's eyes flashed, and her expression changed in the blink of an eye. She sat on the bed and started to cry.

"You're a sinner! Jia Ming, your sister picked up a wild child from the streets and bullied your wife and children. They wrongly accused Little Jun of being your child. Why didn't you take me with you?"

Brad, who was chewing on his fingers, saw that Shirley was pretending to cry, and suddenly started to wail loudly. At this moment, everyone present, as well as the people who had just gotten off work and returned home, heard this and felt that Jovie had gone too far.

Winona tugged at Jovie, wanting to tell her to forget about it.

Jovie smiled coldly and looked at Shirley indifferently. Just as Shirley was pretending to sniffle, Jovie slowly spat out a name.

"Li, Wen, Tao."

Shirley's sobbing stopped after Jovie's name was uttered.

Winona was puzzled and confused.

When the hooligans who had come to help the commotion heard this name, their expressions instantly turned vicious.

They started to approach Jovie, who was standing there leisurely, not afraid of them approaching her with threats.

Although her body was covered with injuries and her clothes were stained with blood, it did not affect her imposing manner of two meters and eight inches. The wounds also added a hint of sharpness to her.

Jovie turned around and glanced at Winona. After thinking for a moment, she decided to retreat with her. Seeing that she was about to reach the door, she pushed Winona away and locked her outside the door.

Then, Jovie took out a...

It was a colorful handkerchief!

The colorful delinquents were stunned. Just as the sinister smiles on their faces gradually became wretched, Jovie opened the white handkerchief.

Inside the handkerchief was a ruby ring. On top of the ring was a dark symbol that could command the entire underground kingdom of Fernville.

As long as a hooligan saw the owner of the ruby ring, which was engraved with the symbol of the highest authority, he would bow and obey the orders of the owner of the ring.

Coincidentally, Li Wentao was the leader of this organization, and these hooligans were under Li Wentao's jurisdiction.

The faces of the hooligans changed drastically. A moment ago, they were still ferocious and wanted to attack Jovie, but in the next second, they obediently bowed to Jovie and asked her to take them to her seat. They even violently dragged Shirley and her son out of the bed.

This sudden turn of events caught Shirley off guard. Before she could even scream, Jovie had already called for someone to gag the mother and son.

"I believe you know Li Wentao's son. I don't want to wrong you. I don't want to force your uncle to die in the grasslands. I believe you know that."

Jovie walked up to Shirley and squatted down. She imitated Keane's actions and pinched her chin. She looked at Shirley with a sinister smile.

Shirley's heart trembled at the sight.

"Let's settle the matter of my uncle later. Now, let's settle the score in front of us. You brought your men to smash my house and bully my mother. You even conspired against my son. Tell me, how do you want to pay for this?"

Jovie looked at Shirley's pretty face and chuckled.

"By the way, you said that the money for my mother's adoption was borrowed from you. If I remember correctly, you forced my uncle to build a house for me. Did you borrow a hundred thousand yuan from my family and said that you didn't need to pay the two hundred yuan for my mother's treatment?"

"I feel that you can't not pay your debts. How about this? You can pay me back the one hundred thousand yuan from my family tomorrow, and I will pay you back the two hundred yuan for my mother's treatment. What do you think?"

Although Jovie was negotiating with a smile, her attitude was so scary that it was almost creepy.

"By the way, if you can't pay me back, you can use the property ownership certificate as collateral ~"
