I Spy With My Secret Eyes

Chapter 58

A smile immediately graced Kenneth’s face at the sight of Oliver. He stood up eagerly to greet him; it was an unprecedented act for him.

“Hey… Oliver, you’re back?”

Oliver went straight to the couch and sat down. Kenneth forced an awkward smile and returned to his own seat.

Strangely, Kenneth, the man who had always looked down upon Oliver, now felt an immense pressure emanating from him.

William, lacking the cunningness of his father, chuckled and inquired, “Oliver, have you struck it rich?”

Oliver tilted his head, casting a half-smile as he responded, “Indeed, I have.”

William followed up with another question. “How much money did you make?”

Oliver pondered for a moment, counted with his fingers, and replied, “I can’t recall the exact figure, but I spent 2.4 million dollars on purchasing this mansion, more than 4 million dollars on acquiring six luxury cars, and another 8 million dollars to gain ownership of two floors in the storefront office building at Gerton Plaza. Furthermore, I still have approximately 100 million dollars in cash!”

“Damn…” William could not help but blurt out a curse in disbelief.

Kenneth and Riley’s hearts raced as they felt restless upon hearing his revelation. Around 100 million dollars or so was an amount far beyond their wildest imagination.

However, with Oliver’s sudden wealth, the first thought that crossed their minds was that they should extract a few million dollars from Oliver first and then gradually deplete his fortune.

Kenneth had developed an ingrained sense of entitlement when it came to exploiting Jason’s family. Taking advantage of Jason’s benefits seemed only just and natural to him, while the concept of reciprocation neyer crossed his mind.

The concept of taking without giving had deeply ingrained itself in his mind.

William, influenced by his parents since childhood, held a disdainful attitude toward Jason’s family and firmly believed in leveraging their advantages.

Sporting a smirk, he leaned closer to Oliver and remarked, “Oliver, that Porsche outside looks stunning. Give me that car. Considering you have so many, you can’t possibly drive them all.”

Oliver’s face broke into a smile. “You really like it?”

William, catching onto his friendly tone, quickly smiled back and exclaimed, “I love it, I love it! Joanna told me it’s the top-of-the-line version of the 911, worth 600 thousand dollars. Imagine the impression I’d make driving it around!”

Kenneth, too, felt a glimmer of hope in Oliver’s demeanor and smiled. He placed 4,000 dollars on the coffee table, proudly showcasing it, and said, “Oliver, we came here today to see your father Last time, I was indeed tight on money, but I kept it in mind. As soon as I had some funds available, I came right away. Oliver, the Eastwood family is not flourishing. Among the older generation, it’s just your father and me. In the younger generation, it’s only you and William. Building such a vast family business isn’t easy for you. As the saying goes, it’s easier to establish something than to maintain it. Your education is limited, and you lack experience in business management. Although I haven’t engaged in business personally, my experience and network surpass yours. Additionally, William has been accepted into Juxshire University, majoring in Financial Management. It’s perfect for him to serve as your steward

and manage your affairs. When it comes to crucial positions, we can’t rely on outsiders. Only family members can be trusted!”

Oliver nodded with a half-smile. “That’s true. I also feel that my educational background falls short, and managing such an extensive family business is beyond me. Fortunately, I’ve found a well-educated wife to take care of the household!” Kenneth’s heart skipped a beat. He swiftly responded, “We mustn’t rush into this matter. Nowadays, finding a girl who isn’t

do?” focused on money is hard. What if someone absconds with your substantial family wealth and assets? What will you

Oliver contemplated for a moment before replying, “That shouldn’t happen. It turns out my mother-in- law is a teacher at Wusteria High School. Uncle Kenneth and Aunt Riley, you might know her.”

Kenneth and Riley’s faces underwent an abrupt change. They asked in unison, “W

is she?”

Oliver smiled and said, “Her name is Mrs. Yelena Kaiserman, and she shares the same maiden name as Aunt Riley.”

“Yelena?” Riley’s expression turned sour.

“She… Isn’t her daughter a police officer?” Kenneth furrowed his brow, adding, “Her husband is also a police officer. It’s not ideal. That kind of family carries a strong negative energy. Oliver, you should find someone whom you can have control over. I believe it’s best to seek a girl from a rural background, someone without so many hidden motives!” Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Joanna could not help but interject coldly, “So, in other words, my brother should find someone who lacks physical attractiveness, lacks intelligence, and lacks insight, right?”

Kenneth felt embarrassed and forced a smile, but he scolded Joanna nonetheless, “What business is it of yours to interrupt?

Oliver cleared his throat and rose from his seat, speaking earnestly to Kenneth. “Uncle Kenneth, since we are all well-educated individuals, I feel uneasy resorting to crude language. Allow me to convey my message through these three

letters. G. U. N!”

“G. U. N?” Kenneth unknowingly repeated the letters under his breath.

However, Riley, accustomed to teaching and lecturing, immediately grasped their meaning. “G. U. N. Doesn’t that stand for Grow Up Now?”

William also understood. His expression shifted, and he angrily questioned Oliver in annoyance, “Are you telling us to grow up? What do you mean?”

Oliver sneered, “You don’t understand the significance? I endured all the things you said about me. Can I endure you bullying my parents and my sister? My father lies on a sickbed, awaiting salvation. He is your own brother. He supported you throughout your education, helped you purchase a house, and financed your wedding. And now, his life is worth merely 100 dollars to you? William, have you ever regarded me as your brother and Joanna as your sister? When my family was poor, we weren’t your relatives. But now that I have money, suddenly we’re family? I may have wealth and struck it rich, but what does it have to do with you?”

Kenneth’s face instantly turned dark. It became apparent that Oliver was mocking them.

He huffed and puffed, gasping for breath, and angrily confronted Jason. “Jason, doesn’t your son understand the principles of respecting elders and showing proper manners? Can you tolerate him

speaking to me like that?”

Jason sighed and shook his head. “Kenneth, you are my younger brother. I willingly made sacrifices for you. I never expected you to repay me in any way. But I am me, and my son is my son. I cannot impose my will on him. You are a teacher and an educated individual. You understand the principles of being an exemplary figure./I won’t say much more, You have your own family, and I have mine. I’m getting old, and I no longer have the power to influence you. Let’s go our separate ways and lead our own lives. Do what you believe is right!”

Kenneth stood there in stunned silence.

He had never heard Jason speak to him like that or seen such coldness from him. Those words practically signified that their families would no longer have any interaction with each other.

“So, Oliver’s wealth of around 100 million dollars has nothing to do with us now?” Riley grew eyen more infuriated at that thought, but as she gazed at the magnificent mansion, she could not summon the courage to express her anger as she typically would.

In the past, she never showed any respect to Oliver’s family, never held back her temper, and always looked down on them.

Just a moment ago, William was brimming with anticipation, envisioning himself driving the Porsche 911 down the streets, impressing his classmates, and confessing his feelings to Mandy, the campus belle he had always admired but could not win

over.

The Porsche 911 would have been his ultimate symbol of confidence and his most prized possession. However, Oliver instantaneously shattered his dreams.
