Chapter 58
Harriet turned around to Este. Although she didn''t say anything, what she meant was obvious.
Este felt bitter and looked uneasy. She forced herself to speak calmly, "Why are you looking at me?
Did I ask them to terminate the contract with thepany?"
"It is not the time to shirk responsibility, mom." Harriet knew that Xavier definitely schemed this to
suppress thepany through Este.
She didn''t know if he was warning her or if he had any other intentions.
"Xavier doesn''t seem to be on good terms with the old master, but really cares about him in the heart.
He dislikes any rumors about the Jones Family. What he cares about is the old man''s reputation." At
speaking, she paused and looked at Este.
"Mom, it''s really insolent of you to shout and fight with others. Even if Xavier doesn''t like browsing short
videos, the populous staff in hispany would definitely watch them. It''s normal for him to have heard
what happened.
Since thements mentioned the old master, he would definitely be unhappy.
If I guessed it right, he must be warning us through thepany issues."
"Then what should we do now?" Finally, Este realized how serious the thing was.
Feeling a little uneasy, she held her daughter''s arm tightly.
After thinking about it, Harriet got more and more rational.
Fortunately, Xavier didn''t say it directly, which proved that he didn''t really intend to break up the
marriage.
"Dad, try to handle it as you can. I''ll go to Xavier tomorrow..."
"Wait, Harriet. What are you talking to your mother? What video?"
Este hurriedly paltered, "No, nothing."
But Richard didn''t believe it.
"Harriet, just say it."
Este looked at her daughter like begging for help. Harriet took a deep breath and said, "Dad, it''s
okay. It''s just a trending video on Tik Tok. I''ll go upstairs if there''s nothing else."
Richard nodded. "Thepany issue can''t be dyed. You should go to Xavier as soon as possible."
Harriet nodded. "I see."
Richard was also troubled by that stuff, so he got up and went back to thepany.
Este was left in a daze.
''Xavier warned them fiercely through this, so what if the video was spread?''
Este was somehow anxious, but she didn''t dare to look for her daughter again.
She couldn''t make up her mind, so she could only turn to Marshal and ask her son for advice.
Marshal was so angry after hearing that someone dared to ckmail his mother.
"Call him and set a time to meet."
Este looked at his son. "We can''t force them. Otherwise, we''ll be in trouble if they get angry and leak
the video."
Marshalined, "Mom, if you want to do this, juste to me. Why make such a mess?"
"You don''te home all the day. Who knows you can do it? If I have known that, why would I have
done it myself?"
Este was also so regretful. If she had known this would happen, she would not havee to them.
These gangsters were like leeches. Once she touched them, she could hardly shake them off and they

would take advantage of her.
"Call him." Marshal urged Este, and he didn''t want to argue who was right or wrong.
Anyway, he was confident to settle it.
He knew all the gangs in W City.
So there was nothing to be afraid of.
Seeing that Marshal was so confident, Este felt much cool off and called Howard.
The receiver was not surprised by the call. "If you call it two minutester, I would''ve sent the video to
the Jones Family."
"Tell me, what do you want..."
Before Este could finish speaking, Marshal snatched her away.
"Which gang do you belong to? Give me your name."
Marshal was furious.
Howard was stunned. He didn''t expect anyone else. The voice sounded familiar.
It was normal for them to know each other in such a small circle.
But now things had be a little moreplicated.
Howard didn''t dare to make the decision. He called Eli and asked what to do.
But Eli didn''t decide either.
He called Xavier. But he wasn''t there and Jacob answered.
"Don''t stop. And don''t expose our boss."
Este had embarrassed Xavier so much that he determined to give her a lesson.
Eli was relieved when he received the message. He let Howard do it boldly and he would be
responsible for whatever happened.
Hearing this, Howard was not worried at all. When he built his own empire, Marshal was still nobody.
He just started a little higher because of his rtionship with the Jones Family.
Marshal didn''t let Este go to where Howard said.
Let her go home and wait for the message.
As soon as they arrived, Marshal roared, "Howard, you really have guts to ckmail my mother. Do
you know who I am?"
Howard curled his lips. ''Who do you think you are?''
''Relying on the Jones Family?''
''But you didn''t know it was Xavier that allowed me to mess with you.''
''What are you gloating about?''
But these words could not be spoken out frankly. Howard didn''t take his anger seriously. " If you don''t
want me to leak it, two million dors."
Marshal was so angry that he pped the table. "Two million? No way, not a penny!"
"It seems that Mr. Harrison doesn''t want to negotiate. There''s no need to waste our time." Howard
stood up but Marshal stopped him. "If you want to leave, hand over what I want!"
Howard sneered. "Hand it over, fine. You give me the money first."
Marshal was so angry that he grabbed Howard''s cor and swing at him.
Howard was much experienced than Marshal. He grabbed Marshal''s wrist and pushed him far away.
"Don''t y the young master''s style in front of me. I won''t bend to that. If you want it, just bring me
money. There is no other choice!"
Howard straightened his cor and nced at Marshal disdainfully.
Marshal pointed at Howard. "Wait and see."
After saying that, he left angrily. It seemed that he was bound to revenge for today''s grievances.
When Eli found that Marshal was involved, he went to Rufus to exin the situation in advance.
Of course, what he said was a little different from what he did. Eli was cunning and shrewd. There was
no loophole in what he said, and he was trying to pull Xavier in.
Marshal always made trouble.
Just as Rufus hung up on Eli, he received a call from Marshal.
Compared with Marshal, Eli got more attention from Rufus.
Marshal was a mindless yboy. He could not do anything big.
"Mr. Harrison, you''re Xavier''s brother-inw. If you can''t even settle this, how can you establish yourself
in W City!"
Marshal was angry yet speechless for how he was fooled.
He was also stimted by Rufus.
Howard was a lower-ss gangster. If he couldn''t even settle him, how can he still live here?
Este didn''t receive the call back for long, so she called and asked, "If it''s not easy to solve, just give
the money."
"Why giving him the money? You look down on your son so much that you think I can''t even deal with a
punk?"
"No, I just..."
"Don''t say it. I can definitely settle it!"
Then Marshal hung up.
Mr. Jones returned to the army, and Xavier went back to the vi after work.
Arya and Sunny were having dinner.
Seeing Xaviere in, Arya got up and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
He replied yes softly and went upstairs.
Actually, he didn''t. He originally intended to eat with Arya.
But he forgot that he arranged Sunny to live in.
He was worried that Arya would feel unsafe and that she would be bored alone, so he asked Jacob to
arrange for Sunny.
But now he realized that it was very ufortable to have other people.
Sunny looked up at Arya and asked in a low voice, "Is he usually so difficult to deal with?"
Arya curled his lips. He was not only so, but also arrogant.
Apparently, he didn''t eat, but he said he did.
How could it be so inadaptable to have an extra person at the table?
Sunny saw the answer from Arya''s expression and winked at her. "You quite know him well."
''Do I?''
"No, I don''t. I am Just a little familiar with him."
Arya denied that she knew Xavier well.
Sunny finished herst mouthful of soup and put down her chopsticks. "Keep cheating yourself. I''m
going to bed. I won''t disturb you two."
Sunny ran away from the table.
Arya also lost her appetite and put down the chopsticks.
She went to the kitchen and personally made a bowl of noodles. Then she brought it upstairs...
