Chapter 529 The Shepherd Family Is Finished
He even complained to his father as soon as he saw the incoming call.
“Dad! You must stand up for me this time. Someone is looking down on our family…”
Before he could finish, a burst of angry yelling came from the other end of the call.
“Where are you?”
Charlie’s hand trembled. “Dad…”
“Don’t call me that! I’m asking you for your location!” Nelson sounded like he was going
mad.
Charlie also sensed something was wrong. “I–I’m just at a pizzeria,” he stuttered.
“You idiot!” Nelson clutched his chest. “How did I raise such a useless troublemaker like you? What have you done? The entire Shepherd family is finished!”
His voice was so loud that even the students behind Charlie could hear.
“Who the hell did you piss off? Tell me, you prodigal brat!”
Nelson had also received countless sudden phone calls. All the shady dealings the Shepherd family had done over the years were being investigated.
It all happened in an instant. The callers didn’t even give him a chance to find someone for,
help.
Seals were directly placed on everything, from banks to hospitals, and everyone was demanding an explanation from him!
And this was only the beginning. Next, he might very well end up in prison!
The Shepherd family was finished! Completely and utterly finished!
Nelson took a deep breath and tightened his grip on his phone.
“It doesn’t matter who it is that you offended. I want you to get on your knees and apologize to them immediately. Beg for their forgiveness!”
The scariest part was that up till now, Nelson, in Southdale, had no idea which force his son had offended. The Scott family hadn’t even dared to intervene to protect them.
This was too bizarre!
“Kneel and apologize?” Charlie’s eyes widened. “Dad, what are you talking about? That will
never happen!”
“Never, huh?” Nelson gritted his teeth. “Then watch our family fall apart!”
With a bang, the call was disconnected. Nelson had no choice but to hang up, as officials from relevant departments had already arrived. His legs trembled with despair.
Meanwhile, Charlie stared at the relaxed Dalton in front of him. He was holding his phone so tight his knuckles had turned white.
He wanted to rush toward Dalton, but Yvette grabbed him and whispered in his ear, “He’s the guy from the Yarwood family!”
Some of the people from the gathering were still puzzled.
But Charlie, as if he had heard some terrifying legend, trembled all over as he looked at Dalton.
If he had been incredulous just moments ago, not understanding why his father would say such things, now he was drenched in cold sweat with fear.
Was this really that guy from the Yarwood family? How was that even possible?
That person never even left his home! Due to his health, he had always stayed at home.
Even when all the renowned doctors in the city gathered at the estate, Dalton never showed up. How could he possibly be that impostor’s boyfriend?
“There must be some mistake,” Charlie’s face drained of color as he murmured to himself. He can’t possibly be from the Yarwood family!”
Andy, who didn’t understand what Charlie was talking about, tried to approach him.
“Bro, what’s wrong with you? What’s this ‘Yarwood family‘ you’re talking about?”
“They’re Sorzada City’s tyrant. They were once a noble household, and their lifestyle was the epitome of luxury.
“All the landmarks you can name might have been the Yarwood family’s private estates in the past,” Selena explained with a sigh.
She added, “If you don’t understand, you can look it up. The Yarwood family’s business empire spans the globe. Making the Shepherd family bankrupt would be child’s play for
them.”
