The call was answered promptly. Elaine Ma quickly said, "Hey there, is this Kevin? Hi, I'm Claire Wilson's mother"
He was annoyed that her mother would call him when he was supposed to be seeing Claire Wilson. He suspected Elaine Ma was in trouble and, of course, wouldn't miss the chance to charm her. Therefore, he adopted a concerned tone and said, "Auntie, are you in trouble?"
"Well, I need your help," Elaine Ma said hurriedly. "Kevin, some friends and I invested all our money in a plan from an insurer called Axel, and the company isn't paying our returns or refunding our money! Can you help me get our money back?"
Kevin was delighted, seeing this as an opportunity to prove himself. Confidently, he said, "Auntie, don't worry, I'll come see you today! I'll help you solve this problem!"
Elaine Ma was overjoyed. "Oh my goodness! Thank you so much!"
After hanging up, she glared at Charlie Wade with great disappointment. "Some people are utterly useless! We can't rely on him. What else can he do besides chant?"
She'd asked Kevin for help, huh? They must have a connection for him to be so readily willing to help them recover such a large sum of money. How could Kevin help these ruthless scammers get their money back?
The White family's influence was minimal at best. After the Emgrand Group canceled all their projects, their power had diminished significantly. It was practically impossible for the White family to interfere with financial fraud on this scale. Honestly, he could simply call Isaac of Paradise, and the problem would be solved immediately. He was the Wade family's representative in Aurouss Hill. Everyone, from the wealthiest to the poorest, had to give him respect because of his power. His mother-in-law, however, was incredibly frustrating. Since she trusted Kevin, Kevin should step up and do what was necessary!
Some people had smiled when they saw Elaine Ma make the call. They quickly gathered to ask if she had found someone powerful to help.
Elaine Ma smiled and announced, "Don't worry, everyone. I've asked Mr. White to help us. He's very influential and capable; I'm sure he can get the money back easily!"
Someone exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, Mr. White? Elaine Ma, you're amazing to have found such a powerful man!"
"Yes! Mr. White must have significant connections. This should be easy for him, right?"
"Elaine Ma, since you know such a capable young man, why don't you marry your daughter to him? Why this loser instead!"
Elaine Ma glared at Charlie Wade disdainfully and said coldly, "This loser will be disowned by our family soon!"
Charlie Wade remained silent, waiting for Kevin to arrive and see how badly things would turn out. Soon, a black Porsche pulled up. A handsome young man in a suit stepped outโKevin White.
The onlookers gasped, "Wow, look at him, handsome and smart! I wonder which family is lucky enough to have him as their son-in-law!"
