The Mighty Fighter Is Back

Chapter 30 Proof

The Smith family looked worried and depressed because they all believed Richard's money illegal.

Richard didn’t know how to reply and felt distressed at the same time.

During the five years of his absence, the Smith family must have gone through many unknown twists and difficulties, thus they had become so apprehensive and cautious; Even money was given to them, they still felt ill at ease.

It seemed that there was nothing but fear left in their mind.

Thinking of this, Richard felt even guiltier and self-condemned.

If it wasn't for his absence, the Smith family wouldn't have lived in distress.

His eyes reddened slightly and he explained, “Catherine, actually this money was borrowed from Mr. Thomas, the richest man in Heufville."

Hearing this, Jane smirked, “Seriously? The richest man in Heufville? Why didn't you say the king is your friend? If bragging was liable for tax, then you could feed the whole country!"

Catherine frowned, "Mom, please stop."

Then she looked at Richard again, "Richard, I do not ask you make contributions to this family. All I ask is for you to set a good example for Maria, be a good father."

Richard replied confidently, “I am the god of war; Kurt would send money to our house in person if I have asked, let alone him lending the money."

This statement made all of Catherine, Jane, and Eddy feel speechless and despaired.

Catherine covered her face in disappointment.

Jane sneered, "I am afraid you are daydreaming? Loser!"

Richard sighed and changed his excuse, “Yesterday I met Mr. Thomas, and he hired me as his private driver. The money was borrowed from him."

Jane sneered sarcastically, “Just then you mentioned the god of war, now you told me the money was borrowed?! Since you said it was borrowed from Mr. Thomas, then you call him to prove it!"

"If you cannot prove it, get out of this house immediately!"

Richard had no choice but to take out the phone and dial Kurt's number.

***

Kurt was in a meeting; taking out his phone and looking at the caller, he rose from his seat suddenly.

Senior managers on the scene were all stunned as they had never seen Kurt in such a panic.

Who on earth was at the other end of the phone?

Kurt was thrilled as if he had won a lottery worth 500 trillion.

He answered the phone humbly, "Hello, Lord Thompson."

"Mr. Thomas, this is Richard, your driver, who borrowed 30 million from you yesterday. My families don't believe you have bought me the money. Please explain for me." The sound of Richard came from the phone.

Kurt was startled by his words and almost fell to the ground, sweating like a pig.

Mr. Thomas?

Lord Thompson literally called him that!

He felt a surge of panic.

"Mr. Thomas, you still remember this, don’t you?" came the voice of Richard.

Mr. Thomas was a sophisticated man. The words of ‘30 million', 'driver' reminded him of last night's instruction from Lord Thompson.

He figured out immediately that Lord Thompson might have some misunderstandings with his families and needed his explanation.

"Lord..." This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

"Call me Richard!"

Thomas was jittery.

Even if he had borrowed a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to call Lord Thompson by his first name.

Kurt ventured, "Mr. Thompson, I did lend you 30 million yesterday. Is that not enough?"

***

Catherine took the phone away from Richard and asked in a deep voice, "Are you really Mr. Thomas? How could you prove it?"

Recognizing the owner of the voice, Kurt replied even more modestly, “Please give me your address, I will show up and explain everything myself."

Catherine was suspicious, but still gave him the address.

"I'll be right there." Kurt said.

After hanging up the phone, Kurt informed his driver to set off immediately.

***

Inside the Smith's rented house, Jane's eyes were full of coldness, and she sneered, "Richard, it's an actor you hired over the phone, is it? With your little tricks, you wish to deceive us?"

Richard looked serenely, "You can tell what's right and what's wrong when Mr. Thomas shows up, he will explain to you."

Jane sneered and her eyes were full of disdain, "This time, you hired an actor to play Mr. Thomas's role?"

Thirty minutes later, they heard a knock at the front door and found Mr. Thomas standing at the doorway.

Catherine stared at him with wide eyes and looked shocked.
