Chapter 1665: The Duncan Family's Leverage (Part 2)

Adan felt Marcus Quinn’s body getting stiffer and his grip on her hand tightening, knowing he was feeling bad, she planned to settle things quickly.

“What are you dawdling for, hurry up and pay,” Elowen Duncan shouted, “If not a hundred million, then ten million will do.”

“No rush, since this matter is clarified, Marcus Quinn has no relation with you, shouldn’t the Duncan Family return the inheritance left to Marcus by his mother and Mr. Quinn?” Adan was well-prepared and took out a series of lists, selecting a few main points to read aloud.

“The villa the Duncan Family is currently living in is under my mother-in-law’s name, according to the prenuptial agreement, all my mother-in-law’s assets are to be inherited by her children, which means Marcus inherits it. In other words, the house you are living in now belongs to Marcus.”

“Apart from the house, some assets my mother-in-law invested in during her lifetime generate annual dividends in the millions. This money has been sent to the Duncan Family by the financial company each year, and there is documentation of this. This accumulated to tens of millions, remember to pay it back.”

“After Mr. Quinn passed away, the Duncan Family used Marcus’s minority to take over and manage Mr. Quinn’s assets, among which the most famous Fragrance Pavilion restaurant in Imperial City belongs to Mr. Quinn, remember to return it.”

…

With every statement Adan made, the faces of the Duncan Family turned a shade uglier, and the onlookers gasped with astonishment at each point. The Duncan Family is truly heartless, a whole family living off the blood of the late Mr. Quinn and his daughter, and now they want to suck the blood of their own son.

Such people are not fit to hold public office! Even the police team led by Fang was furious, and the Zamora Family, upon realizing the Duncan Family had so many assets, and yet during marriage talks, they pretended to be poor and wanted to demand money from Marcus, how shameless!

“Your family clearly has money, why did you only accompany the dowry with a second-hand clunker?” The Zamora Family started shouting.

Mr. Duncan was so angry he needed the chair for support to sit down, sweat pouring like rain, his face looking as though he had seen a ghost.

“Dad, we are actually so rich?” Elowen was also envious, every time she asked for money, she was told there was none, and even during her marriage, no money was given, turns out it was all hidden away.

Mr. Duncan was so angry that his tongue wouldn’t straighten out. Over a decade, he had been watched closely by the Howard Family, not even his wife from the Yannick Family was left unchecked, leaving him nothing but to live off old assets. It was only when Adan mentioned it that he remembered that the villa they were living in was indeed left by his ex-wife. After his ex-wife died, Mr. Quinn took Marcus away, and later when Mr. Quinn died, he just forgot about it and lived there without a qualm.

As for those asset dividends, they were indeed in his hands every year, funding his necessary activities in the officialdom, and household expenses were large, each of the children would open their mouths for money, every one of them could squander, there was no room for extravagance. As for Mr. Quinn’s assets, they too had been drained dry over these years, even the Fragrance Pavilion was mortgaged for money to someone else, currently, he only had an empty frame.

This money had supported the extravagant spending of the Duncan Family for over a decade, if calculating, it was not less than ten billion but seven to eight billion, to ask him to repay it, even killing him wouldn’t bring it back!

“What I’m saying is all documented, and the Duncan Family can forget about denying it.”

Upon hearing this, Mr. Duncan flipped his eyes and fainted, the police team quickly pinched the middle of his upper lip, waking him up again.

Mr. Duncan, after fainting and coming to his senses, turned his face instantly.

“You woman are too vicious, our father and son haven’t even split, and you want to sow discord between us?” Mr. Duncan, after all, had experienced rough waters. At this moment, he didn’t even dare to mention asking Adan for ten million, planning to refute all the assets that Adan mentioned which originally belonged to Marcus.

Adan sneered, she had long predicted such an outcome, the people of the Duncan Family were all such peculiar fools, those assets were probably squandered a long time ago, even if they got them back they would be a mess, she only mentioned it to let everyone know the Quinn Family doesn’t owe the Duncan Family a penny, on the contrary, the Duncan Family is in deep debt.

There is absolutely no way they can taint Marcus’s reputation!

If she and Marcus were a bit ruthless, they could make the Duncan Family restless overnight.

“So the Duncan Family means they won’t admit it? Spit, suddenly family affection is deep, you’re shameless enough to be an official, this face is thicker than a city’s wall,” Yeats Howard laughed mockingly.

Mr. Duncan was completely in trouble today; he never expected Yeats Howard, a Demon King, to have such strong capability that his bodyguards dared not act, and Marcus’s wife turned out to be a tough character, this overturned situation was embarrassingly disastrous, it was a big loss of face. Mr. Duncan then straightened his neck, face red, neck thick, shouting about Marcus’s unfilial conduct, threatening to force him to death, saying he would go die with his two daughters tomorrow.
