Sweet Twins

Chapter 416 Who Are You

Jay drove to the He family first for a visit.

Doris' father, Matt, walked out when he saw someone outside their house, and asked, "Who are you?"

Ever since Doris had been bullied and maltreated by the Liang family, Matt did all he could to avoid getting in contact with rich people like a plague.

Therefore, the way he looked at Jay was somewhat reserved. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

In the past few years, he had not dared to even mention the name of Doris in front of the villagers for fear of being ridiculed and laughed at.

But even so, there were still some atrocious people who would secretly spit at him.

In reality, people's essence would always stay the same. They would bully kind people who would not retaliate and flatter the powerful ones in hope of ingratiating themselves.

This was especially more evident and serious in a remote village like theirs.

"I'm Doris' man," replied Jay, as he got out of the car.

"What?" Matt looked at Jay in disbelief. But when he saw how debonair and handsome Jay looked, never in his wildest dreams would he have thought that such a handsome and noble man would ever be associated with his poor daughter.

"Are you really Doris' man?" Matt inquired incredulously, still in in disbelief.

"Why? Don't you think it's possible?" Leaning against the car, Jay looked even more handsome as the rays of the morning light in the countryside fell on him.

He no longer seemed as domineering as before, but rather, he appeared a little disdainful and arrogant.

"You don't seem like... No, it's..." Matt stuttered, so shocked that he was rendered speechless.

"Do you have something to tell me about Doris? Did you bully her?" Jay asked while surveying the dilapidated yard of the He family.

"No, no, no, I didn't..." Matt was a man who used to have business deals and had experienced a lot of things along the way. When he saw how well-dressed and elegant Jay appeared, he knew that Jay was a man of power. Would he even dare to deceive him?

Besides, no matter how bad his relationship to Doris turned out to be, fact was, she was still his daughter.

Jay was staring at Matt sternly.

"Doris is my only daughter. Why would I ever be willing to bully her? It's all because of that Samuel..." As Matt spoke, he looked around to check if anyone was within hearing distance. After he found no one was around, he found the courage to voice out and said in a loud voice, "It's all because of the Liang family. I still owe them hundreds of thousands of dollars until now. But I just can't pay it back ever. I won't be able to pay it back even if I sell my life."

"Well, what kind of business is the Liang family in?" asked Jay casually.

"They own a construction company and a tea factory..." Matt replied in a low spirit.

"And that's all?" Jay asked with disdain, his eyebrows slightly raised. "Are they big companies?"

"Yes they are. There are hundreds of employees." Matt continued to ramble, still in shock, "And there are many bodyguards around them all the time. They are very merciless, and they even have several Tibetan Mastiffs which they can command to bite people."

"You are saying they have hundreds of people employed in their companies?" Jay jeered arrogantly.

A company with only hundreds of employees was just a small-scale workshop for him. They were just a tiny fry in the pan, and yet they could already do whatever they wanted here?

"That's right. Don't even think of provoking them. Take my advice, go and live a good life with Doris. Tell her that I'm sorry for what happened. I wasn't capable enough to protect her in the past. That child has already suffered more than enough. Alas, she has you now. I'm happy knowing that you can give her a better life knowing that you treat her well," Matt said emotionally as he wiped his tears.

"Well, I have another thing to ask you. It's about Felix..."

As Jay spoke, he intently fixed his eyes on Matt's face.

Matt sighed helplessly, "Felix is not a bad person, but he was born poor. You know, in our place, people didn't think of having a high ambition. That child had no choice, but I know that his love for Doris is real. Thanks to him, Doris is still alive."

"What has he done for Doris? Is he really that good to her?" As his father-in-law praised Felix, a faint sense of envy and discomfort arose in Jay's heart.

"Yes..." Matt replied, but he felt that there was something wrong with Jay's tone. He glanced at him and saw that Jay's face had darkened and he looked forlorn. To console him, Matt hurriedly added, "But what happened between him and Doris is already in the past. Nothing else happened between them. Both of them are innocent. Don't worry too much."

"I heard from Doris that she would often sleep over at Felix's house when she was a child," Jay probed in a lazy voice, pretending to be unaffected.

"Well, that girl is talking nonsense. They grew up together. That happened when they were only three or four years old. They were still too young then. What would they know about love?" Matt explained straight off.

Upon hearing his explanation, Jay was pleased and relieved at the same time. After all, it was normal for people to have childhood sweethearts in their childhood.

Jay nodded and took out a bank card. "Take this, there is one million dollars here. You can use it however you want to, but don't give it to the Liang family as payment for your debt. I will solve the matter about the Liang family myself. You don't have to be afraid and wary of them in the future."

"You... Be careful," Matt reminded him anxiously.

Raising his eyebrows, Jay's reply was summed up in one syllable, "Hmm."

After saying that, he got in the car and drove to check the small enterprise owned by the Liang family. It was very small, but it had a profit of several millions a year. Considering Jay's status, this money was not even enough to pay for his drinks.

To bring them down, he didn't have to openly fight with anyone from the Liang family directly. Instead, he ordered people to investigate them if they had any violation regarding tax evasion.

Having been in the business for so many years, Jay knew that tax evasion was something that was inevitable.

If the amount of tax evasion was so large that it couldn't be filled up, the Liang family would be put in jail.

The next step on his scheme was to purchase the two small companies owned by the Liang family.

Since Jay had no intentions of managing such a small company, so he gave them to Felix.

The Liang family seemed to collapse overnight.

People were very confused. Before they could even react, the owner of the Liang family's companies had changed overnight. They had gotten immune to the oppression of the Liang family for so many years now, and suddenly they were at a loss by the turn of events for a moment.

"Is the Liang family's power finally over?"

"Well, they're over and done for."

"Who could have done this?"

"It's said that it is the man of Doris."

"Oh, did Doris come back to take her revenge on them?" Everywhere, people were curiously gossiping.

"Stop talking about it. The Liang family really deserves what happened to them. Now, you don't have to see them being so boastful and arrogant in the future. Don't gossip," rebuked a young man who came over and scolded the nosy people.

Everyone felt ashamed and the crowd dispersed.

They were just like people who were suddenly freed from their bondage.

For Jay, what he did was just a piece of cake and he didn't want Doris to know about it.

He decided not to keep her abreast of what he did because Doris herself didn't tell him what happened in the past. Maybe she was afraid of the embarrassment it caused her. After all, everyone had their self-esteem to protect.

Afterwards, Jay asked Hanson to take Felix's mother to see a doctor for a proper checkup and then sent Felix and his mother home.

In front of Hanson, Felix didn't have the courage to refuse. However, after knowing that the Liang family's companies had become his, Felix was stupefied. He, who had been used to being poor all the time, struck gold all of a sudden, causing him to be dumbstruck.

"What if the Liang family comes back to me to take their revenge?" Felix's fear of the Liang family was deeply ingrained in him and could not be easily disregarded.

"No, they won't bother you. Just remember, you are not allowed to call Doris without my permission in the future. Get married and have children here. Just live a good life from now on," Hanson cautioned Felix.

"Okay, I will." For Felix, what happened today was surreal and could somehow be a miracle. After Hanson had left, he pinched himself hard. When he felt the pain, he realized that everything was indeed real.

After all hardship he had been through, it turned out that there was really such a thing as a free lunch in the world after all.

Besides, it didn't look like a trap was set for him.
