‘■Who the hell are you to be speaking like this? Did you come here to apologize, or to take advantage of us?”

Lois Abbott said angrily, “All this talk about family, but have any of you done anything a family should do over the years?

Stop beating around the bush. Just say what you want. I’m very busy and don’t have time to beat around with you.”

“Well, it’s like this, your uncle…”

Jasmine Lampe originally intended to say “your Uncle,” but remembering that

Lois Abbott didn’t like it, she quickly changed her words:

“The Crowe Family’s spice shop suddenly lost its business. Could you possibly continue to source from them for the Reverie Inn?”

“lean, but the quality must keep up. If it’s substandard like before, then forget

it.”

Lois Abbott looked at Jasmine Lampe, whose hair had turned grey, and felt extremely irritated. On one hand, she didn’t want any involvement with her, and on the other, she felt somewhat reluctant to be heartless.

So, after hesitating for a moment, she still nodded and agreed.

Seeing her agreement, the Crowe family’s expressions finally looked a bit better.

jasmine Lampe glanced at her youngest son, Zac Crowe, and sighed helplessly.

She shamelessly pressed on, “Then, about the job for Little Zac…

“I’m sorry, I can’t help with that.”

Lois Abbott rejected the request coldly, then sneered, “With his immature mindset, do you think he’s fit to be a patrol officer?”

“Well, okay then.”

Seeing that Lois Abbott was not going to relent, Jasmine Lampe had to take what she could get, fearful of further angering her to the point where even the spice shop matter would be dismissed.

Watching the Crowe family leave the inn dejectedly, Lois Abbott let out a long sigh of relief, the shadow that had been weighing on her mind finally dispersing at that moment.

When Heather Crowe first married into the Abbott family, Lois still harbored a longing for family.

But as time went on and the Crowe Family’s behavior became more and more

vile, she even began to detest Heather Crowe.

Now, at last, the knot in her heart had been untied.

And all this was thanks entirely to Greg Jensen.

Without his righteous outburst at the birthday banquet, Lois Abbott might still be suppressing her feelings.

Thinking about how Greg Jensen would even give up the large annual dividends of several hundred thousand dollars for her, her heart swelled with warmth.

She locked the office door and went to the inner rest room, opened the wardrobe, and hesitated while looking at the plethora of lingerie inside.

All these pieces had been bought specially for her time with Greg Jensen, each one exceedingly sexy.

“What to wear today…”

In the following days, Greg Jensen continued his pretext of seeking medical treatment and stayed in Riverhaven County, bustling about the fruit and vegetable supermarket every day.

During the renovation, he was totally hands-off, but as the opening approached, there were more and more nitty-gritty tasks to attend to.

Now that Lois Abbott had to manage the inn herself, leaving her with less free time, many tasks had to be handled personally by him.

During this busy period, several fights broke out on the streets of Riverhaven County.

First, Norman Holmes took his men and cleared out a few of Kenny Walker’s places. Then, Kenny Walker retaliated, leading to several cycles of conflict between the two sides, each with its victories and losses.

Ordinary citizens didn’t catch wind of these events, but those on the streets were on edge, fearing they might inadvertently become collateral damage.

“Damn it, that bastard Norman Holmes is really gunning for me!”

Kenny Walker’s face was terribly grim.

The Fragrance Night Club was still closed, and these past few days Norman Holmes had hit several of his places, drastically reducing his income to the point where his resources were nearly depleted.

He instinctively blamed all his troubles on Greg Jensen.

As for the matter of his sister-in-law hitting someone, he completely disregarded it.

Wayne Cooper hesitated and said, “Boss, this can’t go on.”

“Then you tell me, what the hell can work?”

Kenny Walker, with bloodshot eyes, said angrily, “I realized long ago that Norman Holmes was no good. We should have killed him in the first place.

Wayne Cooper suggested softly, “How about… we start with Greg Jensen first?”

“Greg Jensen?”

Kenny Walker furrowed his brows and asked, “What do you plan to do?” “I heard he partnered up with that Abbott girl to open a fruit and vegetable supermarket. Why don’t we start from there?”

“A fruit and vegetable supermarket…”

Kenny Walker scoffed disdainfully, “That thing won’t make any damn money, even if we burn it down he probably won’t even care.”

“Boss, you could think like that because you’re not short of money.” Wayne Cooper said with a smile, “That boy Greg Jensen is different. How long has he been wealthy? Can he compare to your foundation?

Why don’t we set off a firecracker, scare him a bit, and by the way, get him to hand over the Ware family’s supplier qualification to us?”

When Kenny Walker heard this, his spirits lifted, and he said with a laugh, “Sounds good, you really have a point there. Let’s set off a firecracker on the ? day of the grand opening. I want to see if he dares to oppose me in the future.

“Leave it to me, you can rest assured.”

The issue of the Fragrance Night Club being shut down continued to spread. Just when everyone thought Kenny Walker would definitely take Greg Jensen down, he disappeared.

It’s not so much that he vanished; it’s that he was too quiet.

Everyone thought Kenny Walker would seek revenge immediately, and give that unruly troublemaker Greg Jensen a good beating.

However, people waited for a long time, and Kenny Walker made no move.

“Could it be that Kenny is chickening out?”

“Impossible, you’re talking nonsense. A man as tough as Kenny, how could he chicken out?”

“But why hasn’t he made a move yet?”

“How would I know? Maybe he just hasn’t found the right opportunity.”

As people speculated, the day finally came for the opening of Greg Jensen’s fruit and vegetable store.

That morning, the entrance of the store was filled with all sorts of flower baskets, with Greg Jensen and Lois Abbott personally standing at the entrance to greet guests.

A few local small business owners stood at a distance watching, with neither the intention to offer congratulations nor to cause trouble, just looking at the fruit and vegetable store and discussing among themselves.

At that moment, someone asked, “Mr. Lin, do you think Boss Jensen’s fruit and vegetable store can make it?”

Mr. Lin shook his head slowly and said, “I doubt it. There’s a large supermarket nearby. If people want to buy vegetables and fruits, why wouldn’t they go to the big supermarket?”

“That’s what I’m saying too. This Boss Jensen is just a prime example of ‘a fool and his money are soon parted’.

Sinking so much money into renovating a measly fruit and vegetable store, how many rotten leaves does he have to sell to make that back?”

“He’s not a proper businessman. Which proper businessman is like him, idling away his days, not showing up for days or weeks at a time?”

“That’s true…”

Right then, firecrackers suddenly started exploding at the entrance of the fruit and vegetable store, with the red paper from the firecrackers flying everywhere and the smell of saltpeter filling the air.

Looking at the deserted fruit and vegetable store, Mr. Lin’s face flashed with a trace of satisfaction, and he sneered, “This kid finally gets a taste of his own medicine?”

After saying this, he pointed at the entrance of the fruit and vegetable store like someone showing off a treasure:

“How’s my prediction? I knew it, there wouldn’t be anyone buying his stuff.
