Alec knew in his heart that Owen must have been playing tricks in the middle, just to see that their Crocker family was declining and came to blackmail.
But it is precisely because of his decline that he can't make enemies casually. Especially Owen, who has no bottom line and no principle, has to deal with it more carefully.
Alec smiled with his anger:
"Mr. Owen, it's really unreasonable to blame us for this. I asked you to smash Xiangyue, but I also gave money. There are rules and money. It doesn't make sense. You didn't do it. Come back and find the employer for loss."
No matter where he went, it was such a truth, but Owen obviously didn't want to be reasonable.
He didn't give any face at all. As soon as he patted the table, he said angrily, "don't tell me these rules here. I'll help you with your work. In the end, I'll fold so much. Who can I find if I don't find you? 20 million dollars, not a Penny Less!"
His arrogant appearance made Alec's face red with anger. He also knew that today it was impossible to mediate and could not bear to anger:
"No, not a penny!"
It doesn't make sense to ask the employer for money when things don't work out!
"No?!"
Owen raised his voice line, looked at him coldly, stood up with his arms, looked at his eyes fiercely, and said with a ruffian smile:
"If not, don't blame me for being rude. You should know that our people do things."
Under Owen's cold gaze, Alec couldn't help retreating, but he couldn't retreat because he was sitting in a chair. His head subconsciously tilted back. From the momentum, he was weaker by more than one gear.
He stuck his neck and said, "what do you want to do?"
"What are you doing? Hahaha... What's the situation of your crocks now? Don't you know? You can't jump without me, but..."
Owen paused, looked at his advice with a sneer, and said, "if you take the money, even if you are declining, I can protect your lives, otherwise... You should know our power. It's easy to punish a declining aristocrat."
"Mr. Alec Crocker, you'd better think about it. I'll give you two days to make a decision. I'll come back in two days. I hope to see $20 million, otherwise... Ha ha..."
Owen laughed and left. When he went out, he saw that the three crocks' sons were coming, and he laughed wildly.
In the study, the third son of the Crocker family pushed the door in and saw Alec sitting in front of the desk with a black face. None of them dared to speak.
"Here you are," Alec said wearily.
The three nodded, and Crocker's parents asked, "father, Owen Arnold, what did he say?"
Speaking of Owen, Alec's face became ugly again, and he snorted coldly:
"Don't worry about it. I'll solve it myself. Besides, have you found out about Amy?"
Amy suddenly disappeared. When she came back, she appeared in Xiangyue and was carrying the epidemic virus. She was killed during isolation.
It was a great blow to the crocks' father and son. It was Alec's impulsive decision to smash Xiangyue with Owen.
For this impulse, he also paid a great price. The declining Crocker family is now floating in the wind and rain.
After impulse, the crocks tried every means to find out about Amy.
Amy is the little princess they spoiled from childhood to childhood. Now that people are gone, they always have to find out what's going on. How did she go to Africa? Why did she suddenly catch the disease and go to Xiangyue as soon as she came back.
Also, it was Clarence, the former vice president of Xiangyue, who appeared in Xiangyue with Amy. How could two people who had nothing to do with and could not be related appear in Xiangyue together.
Speaking of Amy, the master was in a low mood.
Crocker's parents were also tired and said, "we only found that Amy stayed with song Anshan for a long time when she appeared in Europe. We can't find out where she went before."
Barry Crocker, the third son of the crocks, continued:
"After betraying Xiangyue, Clarence went to Africa under the arrangement of song Anshan. Then the epidemic broke out in Europe. Amy and Clarence flew back to country y under the arrangement of song Anshan. As soon as they came back, they went straight to Xiangyue. The purpose should be to make everyone in Xiangyue infected with the epidemic, but Xiangyue responded quickly..."
Barry told everything about the investigation, but he told the truth impartially.
He was sad about Amy. For a while, he rejected Amy and thought she was not the simple and lovely little princess in his heart.
But now my sister is dead, and this exclusion disappears without a trace. All that remains in my heart is Amy's lively, lovely and innocent.
However, he didn't agree with his father, brothers and sisters who had been persistent in finding trouble with Gu qiaoyue and Xiangyue.
Unfortunately, no one in this family will listen to him.
"Song Anshan!" Alec said the name gnashing his teeth.
Since the Crocker family was declining, song no longer paid attention to them, but unexpectedly, the death of her favorite little princess had something to do with song Anshan.
"Father, I'll go to song Anshan to find out." the second son of the crocks also clenched his fist and said.
Barry looked at the angry family, sighed and said calmly:
"Father, big brother and second brother, now is not the time to trouble anyone. The little sister is gone. No matter what we do, the little sister can't come back. However, our Crocker family is still there. What we have to do now is to find a way to keep the Crocker family."
Barry's calmness hurt the eyes of the Crocker's boss and second brother.
They looked at Barry with scarlet eyes: "third, what do you mean? Don't you take revenge on your little sister?"
"That's not what I meant," Barry explained.
But they didn't give him a chance to explain.
The boss hit Barry in the face with a punch and said bitterly:
"Third, I've already found out. You didn't care so much about your little sister as early as before. I just thought you were busy and ignored your little sister, but now it seems that you should think your little sister is dead!"
"Third, Amy was spoiled by us when we were young. She's dead now. How can you say such a thing?" the second said angrily.
Looking at the irrational big brother and second brother, Barry suddenly felt absurd.
Even if you love your sister, you don't have to love her so much that you don't even care about the survival of the family.
Barry sighed, looked at them angrily, and said angrily:
"Eldest brother and second brother, I think you are crazy. You want revenge, but you don't look at the current situation of the Crocker family. You can't support it at the sight of internal and external troubles. You have to ask song Anshan. Will you be happy if we have more enemies?"
