chapter 43 Have your own way

Pls note – new name added 陶春燕-> Lily Tao "Smack!" Horacio Yoxall raised his hand and delivered a resounding slap, directly knocking the other person to the ground. "Apologize to my daughter!" Deborah Yoxall was absolutely a thorn in Horacio Yoxall's side. As long as anyone dared to touch her, even if it were the king of heaven, he would be infuriated. "What are you doing! What are you doing!" At this moment, Perry Summer suddenly walked over in high heels. The maid quickly complained, "Miss, I want to clean the house. They wouldn't let me, and I just said a few words to them. They even laid hands on me." Perry Summer glared at Horacio Yoxall, "You filthy beggar, do you really think highly of yourself?" "Don't think I'm blind. The notice from President Ling made it very clear. She has settled her debt with you, and from now on, you have no relationship whatsoever!" "Now you've laid hands on my maid. How do you explain this? Haven't you heard that even when beating a dog, you should consider its owner?" "Exactly!" The maid, with a swollen half of her face, said, "Now I demand compensation from you, and then make this little wild seed kneel down and apologize to me. Otherwise, this matter won't be over!" After saying that, she provocatively brought her face closer, "You were quite arrogant just now, right? Come on, continue hitting me. If you dare touch me again, be careful..." Bang! Before she could finish her words, Horacio Yoxall suddenly lifted his foot and kicked. The maid was directly kicked and flew out, making a heavy sound as she fell to the ground. Before she could react, Horacio Yoxall moved like lightning, swooping to the side, lifting his foot, and ruthlessly stomping on the other's arm. Crack! The maid's arm instantly collapsed, and she screamed in pain like a slaughtered pig. "I'll say it again, apologize to my daughter!" Horacio Yoxall shouted angrily. The maid had long been terrified, and the pain in her body was secondary. The incredibly domineering and ferocious aura emanating from him made her feel like she was facing a demon from the deepest hell! "I'm sorry, I was wrong, I'm sorry!" The maid apologized repeatedly, and without Horacio Yoxall saying a word, she voluntarily kowtowed on the ground. "If your mouth is not clean again in the future, I'll rip out your tongue!" Horacio Yoxall scolded, then looked at Perry Summer coldly, "Now that I've beaten your dog, as the owner, do you want to share the joys and sorrows with her?" Perry Summer had long been frightened out of her wits. Where would she dare to say another word? Afraid that this barbarian would go crazy and not spare her either, she quickly turned her head and ran away. "After returning home, Deborah Yoxall was obviously frightened. She didn't say a word but tightly held Gemma Summer's hand. Horacio Yoxall wanted to reach out to her, but she quickly withdrew her hand, hiding behind Gemma Summer. Just as Gemma Summer was about to speak, Horacio Yoxall waved his hand, crouched down, and smiled at Deborah Yoxall, "Deborah, were you scared by Daddy just now?" Deborah Yoxall nodded timidly, her big eyes filled with fear. "Don't be afraid, Deborah. Daddy was dealing with a bad person because she insulted you. So, Daddy had to teach her a lesson." Horacio Yoxall explained gently. However, Deborah Yoxall shook her head slightly, fear evident in her eyes, "I know Daddy is protecting me, but Daddy was so fierce just now. Will he hit Mommy in the future?" Horacio Yoxall was stunned and then laughed, "Of course not! Daddy loves Mommy too much. How could he ever lay a hand on her?" After some comforting words, Deborah Yoxall dispelled her worries and concerns. However, this incident served as a wake-up call for Horacio Yoxall. He had been too impulsive that day. In the future, such matters should not be resolved in front of children. Several peaceful days followed. Gemma Summer had started managing the company, renting office space, buying office supplies, and was extremely busy. Horacio Yoxall spent his days picking up his daughter and then cooking meals, allowing Gemma Summer to focus on her career. But no matter how busy they were, the family of three would have a cozy dinner together every day, making their lives joyous and harmonious. Meanwhile, the Summer family was shrouded in gloom these days, with a tense atmosphere. Zakary Lewis had a face longer than a donkey's. "Master, I beg you, please don't drive me away. Considering I've worked for the Summer family for so many years, please reconsider." A maid with a cast on her arm knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly. A few days ago, he was disabled by Horacio Yoxall, and moreover, it was a comminuted fracture. To fix it through surgery would cost several hundred thousand. Otherwise, her arm would be rendered useless. However, instead of helping her with the money, the Summer family considered her useless now and dismissed her. Facing her tearful pleas, Zakary Lewis was unmoved, impatiently saying, 'Your arm is useless now. Why do you want to stay? Do you expect the Summer family to support you?' "Master, I beg you. Even if you want to drive me away, could you give me some money to treat my arm? I'm still young; I don't want to be disabled!" The maid pleaded bitterly. She was only in her twenties, in the prime of her life. "Lily Tao, are you dreaming?" Zakary Lewis said impatiently, "Do you think this is a charity organization? Haven't you been paid for your work in our family all these years? Get out of here!" Lily Tao pleaded, "Miss, it was you who asked me to deliberately cause trouble back then. Otherwise, I wouldn't have..." "Shut up!" Gemma Summer exploded, "Are you talking nonsense? It was clearly you who caused trouble on your own. It has nothing to do with me. I don't want to waste time talking to you. Someone, throw her out!'" A few burly men stepped forward, completely ignoring Lily Tao's cries and pleas. They dragged her out like a dead dog and threw her onto the street. However, the Summer family paid no attention to this incident and continued discussing the pressing matters that had troubled them in recent days. "Do you all have no solutions? Usually, each one of you is quite capable. Why is everyone silent now?" Ranjit Summer frowned deeply. He was referring to the bidding for the Zack family industrial park. Due to some special circumstances, the bidding for the industrial park had been postponed, but the Summer family still couldn't come up with the bid deposit. The Summer family members kept their heads down, none daring to speak. The situation was incredibly difficult. On top of the 1.5 million dollars deceived by Zakary Lewis, there was now a shortfall of 6 million dollars in funds. How could they gather such a large sum of cash in a short time? Although the Summer family's assets were valued at several hundred million on the surface, that was the valuation of their industries. They didn't have much cash on hand; they couldn't sell the company just to bid for the project. At this moment, someone quietly suggested, "Why don't we go ask Gemma Summer again? Maybe she can contribute some money?" "Heh, give up on that idea. If Gemma Summer, that white-eyed wolf, agrees, my name Perry Summer would be spelled backward!" Perry Summer sneered. "Then you think of a solution! Is it helpful to just say these cold words now?" Ranjit Summer slammed the table in frustration. Ever since he found out that Zakary Lewis was actually a big scam artist, his attitude towards Perry Summer underwent a complete 180-degree transformation. He even believed that if it weren't for Perry Summer, the over 1.5 million dollars wouldn't have been swindled. "Grandpa, don't glare at me." Perry Summer, however, remained calm and nonchalant. Sitting on the sofa, she crossed her legs and said, "Actually, this is no big deal for me. As long as I speak up, effortlessly, I can handle a billion." "Oh?" Upon hearing this, Ranjit Summer quickly changed his attitude again, "Perry, do you have a solution?" However, Perry Summer made a hesitant expression and sighed, "There is a way, but it's a bit difficult." Ranjit Summer certainly understood what she meant and hastily said, "Perry, as long as you can really handle this, I'll immediately promote you to vice president and give you an additional five percent equity in the company!" Perry Summer let out a long sigh and casually said, "It's a bit challenging, but for the sake of contributing to the Summer family, I'll endure it." After saying this, she stood up, swung her small bag, and walked away, shaking her head. "Perry, where are you going?" Ranjit Summer quickly asked. Perry Summer didn't look back, just threw out a casual remark, "Get the paperwork ready. At the latest by tomorrow afternoon, get ready to take over Gemma Summer's company!"
