I’m Someone Else

Chapter 375

Sean quietly took a step to the side, not because he was afraid of the four bodyguards attacking him, but because he didn’t want to get blood on his clothes, which he had bought only recently. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Smack! Smack!

Just as he expected, Thomas didn’t waste any time talking to the bodyguards. He immediately knocked them down to the ground; then, he lifted his leg and delivered a powerful kick to one of them.

Clang!

Its tremendous impact smashed right through the gate to the residence, and the bodyguard passed out with blood gushing from his mouth.

“Aaah!” Keith and Qira cried out in fear at this unexpected scene. They stood up, staring at the bodyguards before them with looks of disbelief. They are knocked out so easily? We paid you 1.5 million a day, man! And you guys get knocked out without even so much as making a sound? This doesn’t make any sense, does it?

“W-Who in the world are you two?” asked Keith. He was no fool. Someone who could swagger into his home and easily knock out the bodyguards he had spent 6 million hiring couldn’t be an ordinary person!

Thomas didn’t bother to answer his question. In a couple of steps, he strode up to the man and grabbed him by the throat before pinning him to the wall. “Listen carefully while I’m talking. You will return the villa and the 17 million in cash that you received from George Horner immediately—now! Give them back, and there’s still a chance for you and your family to continue existing. Otherwise, just you wait until the Tuckers are wiped out from the face of the earth!”

“Who the hell do you think you are?” swore Qira furiously. “You want to wipe out our family? Why don’t you say you’re gonna wipe out the Six Greatest Families instead?” She had never seen someone so arrogant before. Not only did he beat George up, but he barged into our home and even threatened my husband by pinning him to the wall, which is downright outrageous! This is Tucker Residence! How dare he act so presumptuous! Is he trying to get himself killed?

Sean let out a sneer. Wipe out the Six Greatest Families, eh? This old b*tch probably still has no idea that it was Thomas here who wiped out the Six Greatest Families! “Who do you think you are, then? You and your family are just a bunch of small fry, yet you think so highly of yourselves! Let me tell you this: if you know what’s good for you, you’ll do as Thomas says. Otherwise, I guarantee that you guys won’t live to see the sun tomorrow. Don’t forget that this is Irieson, where there are countless families more powerful than yours!” He was filled with disdain. What a cheek you’ve got, shooting your mouth off when even your husband doesn’t dare to speak! If you keep on yelling again and end up making Thomas angry, then you guys might as well prepare to be killed! After all, Thomas has already wiped out even the Six Greatest Families, compared to which you and your family are nothing!

Keith did not retort to this; indeed, he couldn’t find the right words to refute Sean. This man is right. In Irieson, there are numerous families that are more powerful than mine.

Thomas released his grip on Keith. After glancing at the time, he frostily declared, “It’s 10.00AM now, so I’ll give you all half an hour until 10.30AM. By then, I want to see everything I asked for in front of me. Otherwise, you’ll face the consequences.” After that, he walked over to the couch and sat down in a relaxed manner.

Keith looked at the man sitting on the couch, then at Sean standing next to him. A sense of fear arose within him. Judging by the pair’s intimidating presence alone, they seemed like some bigwigs he couldn’t afford to mess with. Hurriedly, he shot a glance at his wife Qira, signaling her to keep her mouth shut.

Qira also learned her lesson. Since her husband dared not utter a word, she certainly wouldn’t say anything either.

Not daring to tarry any longer, Keith took out his phone and hurriedly instructed his men to do as Thomas asked. He still had some recollection of the villa that George had given him, but he actually couldn’t quite remember the exact amount of cash he had received from George. Luckily, Thomas had told him the exact amount, so he just needed to prepare the cash according to the number.

Thomas sat on the couch while taking his time smoking his cigarette. He was always true to his word; if he had yet to see what he wanted by 10.30AM, then the Tuckers would no longer need to exist. It’s just a villa and 17 million in cash. Might as well take it as funeral expenses for the Tuckers. In the worst case, I’ll fork these out myself and return them to Veronica.

At 10.25AM, the door to the residence was pushed open. Several suited men came in, carrying briefcases and the title deed for the villa, which they placed on the coffee table in front of the couch.

“Here are the things you asked for,” said Keith gingerly. “The villa has been left there all the time. We never touched it, so it should still be the same as before.”

Thomas said, “Sean.”

Picking up the hint at once, Sean began checking the money. The briefcases weren’t code-locked, and each of them contained 1 million in cash. In total, there were 17 of them, which totaled precisely 17 million. The title deed was genuine, too; it was for the villa George had given the Tuckers back then. “Thomas, I’m done checking. There’s nothing wrong with them.”

Thomas stood up and pointed at Keith. “What happened today ends here for now. Since George is part of your family, then listen carefully. Get him to divorce Veronica Pearson as soon as possible. As for how his assets should be divided, you should already know without me telling you. If this doesn’t get

done in three days, then he doesn’t have to go through with the divorce—it’d be okay for his wife to be widowed. Oh, by the way, you all had better do exactly as I say. If you dare to play any tricks behind my back, I’ll make your family vanish for good!” he said before stepping out of the residence.

Sean directed the men to put the briefcases into the trunk of Thomas’ car. Once everything was done, he and Thomas strode off together.

Cracking under the pressure, Keith slumped down to the ground with a loud thud. Thomas’ presence was really overwhelming, especially the final words he said before leaving. I’ll make your family vanish for good! Keith seemed to have caught a whiff of death from these very words!

He had no idea who Thomas or Sean was, but he knew full well that he couldn’t afford to mess with either of them. There’s George, too. I have to get him to divorce Veronica as soon as possible. Once the procedures are done, there’s no way we will keep him part of our family anymore! Otherwise, who knows what kind of formidable bigwigs that damn son of a b*tch would mess with in the future?!

Even though Sean was a renowned figure in Irieson, the Tuckers were too insignificant in terms of power and influence to come into contact with the likes of the Mortons. So, it was only natural that Keith didn’t recognize Sean.

After a long while, Keith eventually calmed down. Taking out his phone, he quickly had somebody make arrangements for George’s divorce.

Meanwhile, Thomas drove to where Veronica lived. The door to her house was padlocked, indicating that she was probably out working. That being said, there was no way a padlock could stop the man. Finding a random piece of steel wire, he deftly opened the padlock after several tries.
