Chapter 140: The Real Reliable One
“Fuck off, idiot! How dare you say those big words? If Mr. Carter can’t deal with it, can you? You must
be kidding me!” said Andy.
This was a good chance to tter Humphrey. Once Humphrey had a good impression on him, he might
be able to work at DK Investments one day.
Laura took away the water and snacks in Maximilian’s hand and shouted to him angrily, “Get out of my
sight! I''ll beat you if you brag again.”
ncing at Maximilian, Humphrey pretended to be generous, “Mrs. Griffith, let the jerk stay here. He
can clean up the rubbish for us, which is good for the environment.”
“Humphrey is right. Stay here and take charge of the rubbish, but don''t disturb the negotiation between
Humphrey and thepany staff.”
“If he could deal with it, the sun woulde up in the west.”
Maximilian went to another side and looked at the annoyed Humphrey with cold eyes.
“Humphrey, don''t be angry. I''ll fix him when this issue is over.”
Lauraforted Humphrey in a hurry in case he would be influenced by Maximilian.
Soon a director of the investmentpany came, behaving like a thief.
“Are you Mr. Carter?” asked the director in a low voice.
“I’m Humphrey Carter, the general manager of DK Investment. What’s wrong with yourpany? Even
if it went wrong with the yield, you should at least return the capital,” said Humphrey aggressively.
“As for the capital, we don’t say we won''t return it. Please wait for some days. When we solve the
problem properly, we will call you.”
What he said was nonsense.
“That''s not Ok. You should tell us a certain time. How long should we keep waiting? What can we do if
you all run away?” said Laura discontentedly.
The director ignored Laura, and looked at Humphrey. He could take a risk to be here only for the sake
of Humphrey.
“Bro, I know your trick. If you can give the money back to these aunts, I can assure you a good future.
Think about it.”
Andy couldn''t be more jealous.
“Oh, my god! Mr. Carter is promising a good future! If you agree with it, you won''t worry about money in
the future. I’m sure a director can easily deal with it.” added Andy.
Seeing the situation with his cold eyes, Maximilian shook his head helplessly. He couldn''t believe that
these people were so silly that they put their hope on a director.
Maximilian’s expression made Humphrey proud and his mouth twisted in a contemptuous sneer. He
believed that the director would help to get the capital back because of the benefits he promised, and
at that time, he could humiliate Maximilian with all his strength.
They made a quick eye contact, which also expressed their thought to each other.
The director pondered for a while, but replied with a wry smile, “Mr. Carter, though I look forward to
working for you, I am helpless with the capital. Let me tell you the truth, I don’t even know where the
money is.”
Though shocked, Humphrey pulled the director to another side before Laura realized. “Bro, who''s your
boss? Why is he so stubborn that he even ignores me?”
“Our boss is just a puppet and it is Marsh Lunn who is behind. If you can get the money back from his
hand, you must be a really capable man. Sorry, I should go now.”
The director dared not to stay for any longer, so he left in a hurry after the words.
Humphrey couldn''t be more shocked at that time.
“What happened, Humphrey? Why did he leave so fast? Have you made a deal? Can we have our
money back?” Laura asked the questions in a row with anxiety.
Lucy and others also looked at Humphrey, who was the only hope for them.
Humphrey simpered before he replied awkwardly, “I asked him tomunicate with the boss, which
will cost some time, but there is no big problem.”
“That''s all right. I know you are the capable man. We trust you,” said Laura with a smile.
As for Humphrey, he was a little worried, but he remembered that his father knew Marsh. If his father
talked to Marsh, the problem might be solved.
However, he felt unhappy because he couldn''t humiliate Maximilian at once. Maximilian walked to them
and cleaned up the rubbish. He was thinking whether to contact Connor or not.
While he was about to pick up a stic bag, Andy trod on it.
“Are you blind?” Maximilian looked up at Andy and said with a cold face.
“Interesting. You seem to be too rampant. Don''t you know what status Mr. Carter has? How dare you
talk back to him? Since the money of your mother-inw will soon be returned thanks to Mr. Carter,
you’d better bow your head to thank him.”
Andy said these not only to make fun of Maximilian, but also to please Humphrey. He had to take the
opportunities to ride Humphrey''s coattails.
Lucy followed, “Drag the jerk here and let him apologize to Mr. Carter for his rudeness.”
While she was saying, she cast a nce at Laura. How excited to see Laura’s capable man to teach
her son-in-w a lesson!
Laura didn''t care at all since she had prepared to rece this son-inw for a long time. She was
happy to see Maximilian was humiliated by them.

“Crap, are you deaf? Apologize to Humphrey right now!” spoke Laura as an august mother-inw.
Humphrey couldn''t be more delighted. He stared at Maximilian and imagined Maximilian went down on
his knees to him. He was wondering whether to take a photo to memorize that historic moment or not.
“Why should I apologize to him? Has he solved the problem? Where''s your money? Why do you think I
was bragging but he was not?”
Then Maximilian walked to the other side, leaving Laura and the others stunned.
“How dare he speak to me like this?”
Laura was about to catch Maximilian back but was pulled by Lucy.
“His words make sense. Is Mr. Carter really reliable? I think that director didn’t agree with him just now,”
said Lucy.
Humphrey answered firmly, “Take it easy. There’s no problem. If you don’t trust me, you can ask
Maximilian the jerk for help. Let''s wait and see who the real reliable man is!”
