Chapter 49 The Perry Family
The Ford family''s living room was deathly silent.
Everyone''s faces turned ashen. There were even some timid people who were already shivering as if
their souls had left their bodies.
How could they pay off a 35-million-dor debt within a week?
However, if they didn''t pay it back, not only would thepany be taken away from them, but their real
estate and properties would be made coteral. They might even go to prison.
How could the people present withstand the shock of going to jail? They had long been scared out of
their wits!
William instantly aged a decade. He let out a faint sigh and said, "Go and see how much money is left
in thepany''s ount. Draw it all out. Also, ask your rtives and friends to lend us some. Let''s get
as much as we can."
At this point, no matter how reluctant they were, they could only bite the bullet and make a phone call
to borrow money.
It was written clearly on the legal document that everyone would have to go to jail if they couldn''t pay
the debt in a week. This was no joke.
However, no matter who it was, as soon as they mentioned borrowing money, the line went dead.
Everyone felt very depressed and hopeless.
"It''s all that piece of trash''s fault..."
Caroline and Reba gritted their teeth in anger, but there was nothing they could do.
If they had known this would happen, they wouldn''t have thrown out that good-for-nothing so early on.
Now that he had run away, they were the ones who had to help him clean up his mess.
"No, I don''t have money!"
Maria couldn''t stand it anymore. Sheined, "Why should we pay it for him? They''re just bullying
us!"
"Then what can you do about it? The court document has been issued, and we can''t go against it!"
Samuel said helplessly.
Everyone was racking their brains to figure out what to do. Just then, three vans stopped at the gate of
the Ford''s house. The door was opened and a group of ruffians rushed out.
They were all tattooed and holding weapons in their hands as they walked into the Ford''s courtyard
with malicious intentions.
The Fords asked sternly, "Who are you all? What are you doing here?"
"You hit my girl and asked me who I am? Who do you guys think you are?"
Someoneughed heinously.
The ruffians parted and a tall man wearing a mink coat with a cigar hanging from his mouth swaggered
in.
Samuel pointed at the man with a dark expression and cried out involuntarily, "You... you’re Frankie
Perry?"
Upon hearing this, Frank immediately strode toward Samuel and pped him without saying a word.
"Fuck you, who do you think you are to call me by my name?"
Franks'' name had always been a sore point for him. His parents were uncultured rednecks and just
gave him a random name.

There were six children in the family. He was the youngest, and so his parents gave him a name
starting with the sixth letter of the alphabet.
In the past, before he had be sessful, everyone had called him Frankie. Now that he was
sessful, no one dared to call him that anymore. They all called him Mr. Perry. How could he not get
enraged when some old man from the Ford family called him Frankie?
Samuel was getting on in years. After being struck by Frank, he immediately fell to the ground.
However, no one came up to help him; all of them intimidated by Frank.
Frank scanned the room with fierce eyes and said in a cold voice, "Since you know that I''m Frank
Perry, how dare you touch my woman? Beat them all up!"
The hooligans behind him swarmed forward at once and smashed everything in the Ford family''s
house.
"Ah..."
The women in the Ford family were so scared that they all screamed, their faces turning pale.
Crack! Snap!
There were sounds of things being smashed everywhere. The ruffians were smart enough to pick out
the expensive ones, antiques, famous paintings, and fragile items, smashing them all.
Reba''s heart ached at the sight.
"My Hermes China..."
"Those are my pearls and jade bracelets."
"No, that''s a one-of-a-kind painting!"
"..."
Every time they destroyed something; Reba would cry out in pain.
Her continued moaning eventually grated on the arsonists’ nerves.
"Fuck, this bitch is looking down on us because we haven''t studied much. How pretentious!" One of the
ruffians red at Reba and roared.
"Smash them all! Since they''re worth so much money, smash them all!"
Crack! Crash!
There was yet another round of things being destroyed.
"Please stop smashing..."
Reba was distressed. All the antiques and paintings were almost five million dors altogether. That
was equivalent to one-seventh of her debt.
"Get lost!"
Reba went over to stop one of the ruffians but was violently pushed to the ground by him.
The floor was littered with shards of ss. Reba identally cut her hand and the shards of ss
sank into her flesh. She was in so much pain that tears escaped from her eyes.
William hurriedly pulled her up and shielded her behind him. He also shielded Caroline but did not stop
the hoodlums from vandalizing their property.
He could see that they were only going to smash things rather than hurt them.
It didn''t matter if things were smashed as long as they don''t injure them.
After smashing the things, Frank red at everyone fiercely and said, "Keep your eyes open from now
on. I am not someone that anyone can mess with!"
With that, he sauntered off.
Frank couldn’t afford to be too ruthless. Although this wasn’t the first time he had done something like
this, he had to be careful to not go too far.
The higher-ups had made it clear that he could take revenge, but he couldn''t make a big deal out of it.
After much deliberation, Frank could only go in and smash their stuff.
However, the mere act of their things being smashed was enough to scare the entire Ford family. Apart
from William, everyone else was badly frightened by Frank.
This was especially true for Frank''s aura. It was so powerful that the crowd present did not dare to
move in the slightest.
After Frank left, some of the Ford girls finally dared to cry out loud.
Caroline was like a startled animal. She leaned softly against the wall and slid to the ground. She
hugged her head tightly with both hands and tugged on her messy hair. Her eyes were filled with fear
and despair as she fell into an extremely frenzied state.
The sessive blows hadpletely destroyed her weak psychological state.
There was a voice in her heart telling her that the Ford family was finished...
Later that night at Valendale Vi.
Leo held a ss of red wine in his hand and swirled it gently. He did not drink it, but instead looked at
the dense stars in the sky.
"Sir."
Nadine appeared behind Leo like a ghost and reported truthfully, "As Beauty didn''t terminate its
cooperation with the Ford family, but everyone apart from William Ford was cklisted, including
Caroline and Reba Ford."
"The O''Brien family sent awyer to give the Ford family an ultimatum. They are to pay back 35 million
dors in a week. Otherwise, their properties will be seized."
"Frank Perry brought men to the main Ford household and wrecked the ce. They will continue to
threaten the Ford family for the remainder of the week."
Leo closed his eyes when he heard that. He waved her hands and said in a mncholy tone, "I got it.
You can go and take a break."
"As you wish."
Nadine left after giving Leo a second nce.
She knew that Mr. Cohen needed some peace and quiet at this moment.
After a long time, Leo''s sigh could be heard from the quiet balcony.
"Will you all finally be satisfied with this, or do I need to go further?"
This was something that Leo had entrusted Nadine with.
Though Leo did feel affection for the Ford family, Nadine did not. She naturally would not show any
mercy to them.
Many orders had been passed down, and what awaited the Fords would be oppression from all sides.
