Chapter 307: Chapter 307: Fleur Carson Returns
Yusuf Zuck dialed Ruth Wilcox’s number, but there was no answer.
He called three times in quick succession, and still, nobody picked up.
By the fourth attempt, halfway through dialing, Yusuf Zuck hung up. If she didn’t want to answer, even a hundred calls wouldn’t change her mind.
Yusuf Zuck threw the phone aside and suddenly remembered what Mia had said: Ruth Wilcox had given up everything to return, even stripped of her family shares, and only had two million on her person.
Could the Wilcox Family be so excessively cruel, exploiting her because she had no parents? And what about her grandfather? Why wasn’t he on her side?
Was it possible that after raising her, their plan was to simply sell her off to a wealthy family as a bride? If she refused, would they just take everything from her?
The Wilcox Family was acting too petty, maintaining their clan by marrying off their daughters and granddaughters. Such a clan was doomed to collapse sooner or later.
Yusuf Zuck suddenly let out a mocking laugh. Although the Wilcox Family was wealthy, they were no match for him. With such a clan, even without targeting them, he could live to witness their downfall and ruin.
Of course, since they’d pushed Ruth Wilcox to the edge, they couldn’t blame Yusuf Zuck for being ruthless. He might not be able to take on the Nash family right now, but he could use the Wilcox Family as practice.
"Gradually take over, starting with the Ferreni Grand Hotel!" Yusuf Zuck made up his mind, determined to somehow get the Ferreni Grand Hotel completely under his control.
Thinking this, he picked up his phone again and called Marlon Shepherd, who was still in Hong Kong.
Truth be told, with Marlon Shepherd getting married soon, and still out there working for him, Yusuf Zuck felt a little guilty.
But when it came to the wedding, he definitely planned to give him a hefty red envelope.
"Big boss, don’t tell me there’s more work. Please let me head back to the Mainland, okay?" As soon as the call connected, Marlon Shepherd began to complain. After so many days in Hong Kong, he really needed to get back to the capital.
"Alright, alright. I never said you couldn’t return. Everything’s okay with my sister, right?" Yusuf Zuck asked.
"I didn’t arrange much, just helped her sign a contract with ’Empire’. As for buying a car and personal items, Ms. Tuff took care of all that," Marlon Shepherd replied.
"Oh." Yusuf Zuck had forgotten to ask Lara Tuff when he called her just now, but Mia would definitely take good care of Sara Zuck. She knew what she was doing.
"Alright, if there’s nothing else, you can head back to the Mainland. But could you make a detour to Zhonghai?" Yusuf Zuck asked with an embarrassed smile.
"Why?" Marlon Shepherd asked directly.
"It’s still about buying a house and a car. This time, deal with it as you please. Just get a 100+ square meter high-rise apartment. It doesn’t need to be in a great location. A seven-seater commercial vehicle will do too. It’ll delay you by a day at most. So, sorry to trouble you, attorney Shepherd. I really appreciate it!" Yusuf Zuck was very polite.
"Cut the crap," Marlon Shepherd said with a wry smile. "Just hearing you call me ’attorney Shepherd’ makes my skin crawl."
"But I’ve already bought tickets to the capital, so I’m not heading to Zhonghai. However, I can send another team member to take care of it for you. That should work, right?"
"No problem, as long as someone handles it," Yusuf Zuck replied immediately.
"Anything else? If not, I’m going to sleep; I’ve got a flight in the morning." Marlon Shepherd didn’t bother with formalities with Yusuf Zuck since he’d become Yusuf’s right-hand man, dealing with all sorts of issues for him.
"Hmm, I have a professional question. It’s about a hotel, five-star. The domestic branch is just a subsidiary; the headquarters is in Hong Kong. If I want to acquire this five-star subsidiary, that is, the chain hotel, do you have any way to do it?"
"Don’t you already own one?" Marlon Shepherd asked in return.
"Isn’t it better to have one more? Just tell me if you have a way," insisted Yusuf Zuck.
"There is a way, but it’s complicated, and it requires a large sum of money."
"There, that’s what I was waiting to hear. You can go cuddle with your classmate and sleep now!"
"Damn it, my classmate’s a guy," Marlon Shepherd cursed over the phone. "Don’t joke about that. If Xueling finds out, I’m done for!"
"Hehe, not coming home at night, having a hotel but not staying, a male classmate my ass. If there wasn’t a woman enticing you, would you not go back to stay at the hotel? We’re all men here, I understand, really understand. Catch you later!" Yusuf Zuck hung up the phone, laughing heartily.
Just as he was chuckling and ending the call with Marlon Shepherd, his phone suddenly rang. The caller ID was Fleur Carson.
"Damn," Yusuf Zuck answered immediately.
"You out?" Fleur Carson took a deep breath over the phone.
"Yeah, I came out last night," Yusuf Zuck laughed. "Who called you? You knew from abroad?"
"I’ve come back, just got off the plane, at the airport. But you need to find me a place to stay; I’ve brought someone with me," Fleur Carson spoke with a deep voice.
"Brought someone? What do you mean?" Yusuf Zuck asked, startled.
"I... my wife and daughter!" Fleur Carson said solemnly.
"Pfft..." Yusuf Zuck suddenly jumped up. Fleur Carson had brought that woman back, and the child was indeed his.
"You’re at the airport, right? I’ll come pick you up; will a little while be okay?" Yusuf Zuck said while getting dressed and heading out.
If Fleur Carson had come back alone, he would have been too lazy to pick him up, but since he mentioned his wife and daughter, obviously, they held a very important place in his heart.
Moreover, since they had come with him, as his brother, there was no reason not to go and pick them up.
"We’ve already taken a cab. Could you book us a place to stay?" Fleur Carson said indifferently.
"Can you go home? I’ll meet you at your place. Liang isn’t at your place, or do you want to take them to my place?"
"Then I’ll go home."
"Alright, alright, we’ll talk when we meet, when we meet," Yusuf Zuck said in haste before hanging up and rushing to Fleur Carson’s home.
And when he arrived at Fleur Carson’s home, the taxi with Fleur Carson just happened to arrive, too.
A very elegant woman stepped out of the taxi, dressed warmly, her pale face reddened from the cold, holding the hand of a little girl wrapped in a down jacket.
The little girl was very pretty, and she even resembled Fleur Carson to a great extent, as if she were a little version peeled right off his face.
No blood test needed to see they were father and daughter.
At this moment, Yusuf Zuck suddenly felt a bit envious of Fleur Carson; having such a daughter, how happy he must be.
"His name is Yusuf Zuck; he’s my brother in life and death." Seeing Yusuf Zuck run over, Fleur Carson introduced with a smile, "Yusuf, this is my wife, Mila Vazquez, and my daughter, Sophia Kemp."
"Mr. Zuck, nice to meet you. I’m sorry we couldn’t meet when you were in Jakarta," Mila Vazquez apologized as she reached out her hand.
"Don’t mention it, Fleur’s a good buddy of mine; we don’t stand on ceremony with each other."
"Hello, Uncle Yusuf," Sophia Kemp greeted Yusuf Zuck softly.
"Good, good, good, Sophia’s really well-behaved. Don’t just stand there, let’s get the luggage upstairs. I’ll carry the kid," Yusuf Zuck lifted Sophia up and wrapped her more warmly with her clothes, "No wonder your dad doesn’t need anything but you; you must be the apple of his eye now."
"Daddy is a good daddy," Sophia Kemp said, glancing at Fleur Carson.
"Let’s go upstairs."
Yusuf Zuck and Fleur Carson’s family of three went upstairs. Fleur Carson still had the keys, so he opened the door and they all went in.
As soon as Yusuf Zuck entered, he immediately said, "My girlfriend used to live here, so there might be some women’s stuff, but I’ll get it cleared away immediately."
"No need, let Liang come back and get her stuff. Mila knows that Liang lived here," Fleur Carson shook his head.
"Oh right, that makes sense, but I’m going to use the bathroom." Although Yusuf Zuck verbally agreed, he still felt it wasn’t quite right; if the nurse had left her underwear and bras lying around everywhere, Mila might not say anything, but she’d probably feel uncomfortable.
And sure enough, there were the nurse’s underwear in the bathroom, all washed and hung up to dry.
Yusuf Zuck didn’t dwell on the cartoon panties or pink bras; he grabbed them all at once, gathered them up, and then ran into Liang’s separate room holding the underwear.
The house was large, but the nurse lived in just one room; there weren’t any personal items elsewhere, and the whole place was clean and tidy.
After chatting for a while at Fleur Carson’s place, Yusuf Zuck took his leave, and Fleur Carson personally saw him off.
He had things to say, questions to ask!
