Horacio usually hated people threatening him, but when faced with such a threat, he was not angry at all and said with a smile, "Then you have to prepare a bigger pair of scissors. Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to cut it by then."
"Hey, you bitch! How dare you talk dirty with me in front of your wife? Scissors can't do it, right? Then I'll get a chainsaw and give you a chainsaw shock!"
Hilary was not to be outdone, while Gemma blushed beside her.
The two of them were best friends, but their personalities were very different.
Gemma had a reserved personality, but Hilary had a carefree and fiery temperament. She was outspoken and never considered anything when she spoke.
Therefore, Gemma did not blame the two for making such inappropriate jokes in front of her.
"Aunt Hilary, it's Deborah's birthday that day."
Deborah raised her little head. "When the time comes, I will cut the biggest cake for Aunt Hilary!"
"Deborah is so good!"
Hilary crouched and pinched Deborah's tender face with a smile. "I will definitely try Deborah's birthday cake then."
"What's the matter? It's so noisy!" At this time, a burly man with a beard came down from upstairs.
"Dad!"
Hilary quickly introduced, "Gemma has sent us invitations. They are holding a wedding next Friday."
"Getting married?"
Kendrick frowned slightly. "With whom?"
Gemma quickly pointed at Horacio and said, "Mr. Lynch, this is Horacio, Deborah's father."
Kendrick's eyes fell on Horacio. After looking at him for a moment, he inquired coldly, "So you are the heartless man?"
The air solidified instantly.
Kendrick was also furious when he saw Horacio. He couldn't resist his daughter's persuasion, so he took huge risks and sent several experts to the back of the mountain to rescue Horacio.
Although he was lucky later and the Zack family was wiped out by people from the War Department, the few experts he sent seemed to be frightened by the Zack family. They just called him and told him to resign, and then disappeared completely without a trace.
In fact, he didn't know that those people were not scared, but signed a confidentiality agreement, received a sum of money from Yuri, and immigrated abroad.
"Dad..."
Hilary was about to speak, but Kendrick raised his hand to stop her. He looked at Horacio and said calmly, "You tricked Gemma back then and left. You have been gone for five years. Do you still have the nerve to come back?"
Horacio raised his head and glanced at Kendrick but did not speak because what Kendrick said was the truth.
"Dude, I'm warning you!"
Kendrick stretched out his hand and pointed at Horacio's nose. "Since you come back to marry Gemma, you still have some conscience."
"But I'm warning you. Treat Gemma well in the future. If you dare to play any tricks, I guarantee that you won't be able to leave Junclein City!"
After finishing speaking, he turned to look at Gemma and said seriously, "Gemma, I'm not afraid that you will be unhappy. I don't like this kind of irresponsible man."
"But since this is your choice, I respect you and be more careful in the future. If he dares to feel sorry for you, call me at any time, and I will chop him alive!"
"Is it next Friday? I will be there on time. If you need anything, please feel free to tell me. Don't be embarrassed if you are short on money or something. This wedding must be decent!"
"Thank you, Mr. Lynch."
Gemma thanked Kendrick, and then said to Deborah, "Deborah, thank Mr. Lynch too."
"Hmph!"
Deborah turned her head to the side angrily. "I don't want to invite Mr. Lynch. He just scolded Dad!"
Kendrick quickly leaned down, pinched Deborah's face gently, and said with a smile, "You do have a personality. It's been a long time since you visited me. Have you forgotten me?"
"Not at all."
Deborah pouted and said, "I have to go to school and have never had time to come. But I don't like you now. You just scolded Dad unless you apologize to my father."
Kendrick laughed loudly. "Okay, I apologize, and never scold your father again."
Deborah then said, "Okay, next Friday is also my birthday, and I'll cut a piece of cake for you then."
"Haha. I am looking forward to eating Deborah's cake!"
After leaving Hilary's house, Gemma told Horacio, "Don't worry about what happened just now. Mr. Lynch is just such a person. He has a straightforward personality, but he is a very nice person."
Horacio smiled and said, "I think he was right in scolding me just now, and I also think this person is quite interesting. No wonder Hilary is so fiery. It turns out to be hereditary. Haha."
At this time, an old man in the Tang suit just walked out of the tearoom of Kendrick's house. He came to Kendrick's house to talk about something today.
Looking at the retreating figures of Horacio's family, the old man in the Tang suit couldn't help but wonder, "Why does his back look so familiar? Who is him?"
Kendrick responded, "He is a coward. He caused trouble for one of Hilary's best friends. He disappeared for five years and only came back these days. If it weren't for the sake of Hilary's best friend, I would have broken his legs!”
The old man in the Tang suit stopped doubting, and the two returned to the tearoom and continued talking about the previous topic.
"Burchard, you just said that you met a big shot. Even Ms. Larson has to be respectful in front of him. This is a bit exaggerated."
"What kind of person is Ms. Larson? As long as she frowns slightly, many companies in Junclein City will have to close down. Who else can she treat with respect?"
Burchard Thomas shook his head and smiled. "You and I have known each other for so many years. Do you think I am a braggart?"
"It's not convenient for me to disclose the specific identity of that big shot. In short, his identity is definitely more important than you imagine."
"Let me tell you this, let alone me, even Ms. Larson will have to kneel on the ground if that big shot frowns."
Kendrick smacked his lips and said, "That is really a great god... Could it be that he is..."
Although Kendrick had a straightforward personality, he was not a fool. Who else but the president could make Nelly kneel?
"Stop it!"
Burchard said quickly, "If you see through it, don't say it out. I didn't say anything!"
"I have something good for you when I come here today. The big shot is going to hold a wedding next Friday, and I am also one of the organizers of the wedding."
"When the time comes, you can just come over, and I'll find a good seat for you. I can't help you with anything else, but it's okay for you to get familiar with that big shot."
Kendrick frowned slightly. "Why such a coincidence? I may not have time next Friday. I have already promised my daughter to attend her best friend's wedding."
Burchard said immediately, "Are you confused? Do you know how many people are trying to get a wedding ticket?"
"The few mining tycoons in the southern district even offered a sky-high price of 5 million dollars, just to have a chance to curry favor with the big shots."
"It's good for you. A great opportunity is in front of you, and you are still thinking about it..."
Kendrick raised his hand. "I appreciate your gesture. I also know this opportunity is once in a lifetime, but I always keep my word."
"And my daughter's best friend is a poor kid. There will definitely not be many decent people at the wedding. I have to go and support her."
"You are really...!"
Burchard sighed and did not continue. He knew the character of this stubborn donkey in front of him very well.
"You have to change your stubborn temper. If it weren't for your temper all these years, the Lynch family wouldn't still be a second-rate family."
Kendrick disagreed and said, "What's wrong with a second-rate family? I also want to get rich, but I'm not born with flattery. And even if I go to the street to beg for food, I can't lose my integrity!"
