Chapter 4309
Now that Kathleen had become the head of the Fox family and with Charlie and Ten Thousand Armies to back her up, Spencer was worried that she would settle the score with him. So, he felt extremely nervous deep down in his heart, and he could only bite the bullet as he said, "Kathleen... To be honest with you, I was the one who sent your family to Miami... I thought that it would be relatively more comfortable for them to leave New York..."
Having said that, he was afraid of Kathleen's anger and so, he hurriedly said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Kathleen... I was just momentarily confused... Please do not hold it against me..."
Kathleen had long guessed his motive for doing so, and the reason she was deliberately asking him about it was to expose him. When she saw that his attitude when admitting his mistake was not too bad, Kathleen said, "Uncle, as the saying goes, people do everything for money. Although these things that you've done are very inappropriate and even very immoral, I can still understand you to a certain extent."
"Yes, yes, yes..." Spencer spoke with an apologetic smile on his face as he said, "Thank you, Kathleen... Thank you for your understanding..."
Kathleen said indifferently, "Uncle Spencer, I don't need to pursue these matters, but you have to set off for Miami tonight, apologize to my parents and family in person, and then bring them back without fail." "Okay!" Spencer did not expect that Kathleen would be so generous as to give him a chance and so, he did not hesitate to say, "I'll prepare to fly to Miami right now, then!"
Just as he was speaking, a soldier from
Ten Thousand Armies came over and said to Kathleen, "Miss Fox, there are several police cars outside the gate, and they are saying that Inspector Merlin Tammy wants to see Spencer Fox."
"Merlin Tammy?" Kathleen frowned slightly and spoke up, "Isn't he that famous Oskian detective?"
After saying that, she turned to Spencer and asked, "Uncle Spencer, do you have a friendship with Merlin Tammy? Or is he investigating Homer's case?"
Spencer hurriedly said, "Kathleen, you might not know this, but before you came back, Mr. Wade had Homer kidnapped first, and he had cut off both of Homer's ears, openly demanding two hundred billion US dollars' worth of cryptocurrency. Your brother went to meet with them, and they seized the opportunity to hype things up on the internet so that the whole world would know about Homer's kidnapping... Merlin hammy just so happened to be in charge of this case. He has been unable to find any clues, and he is also very impatient. He had already come here once before, but I ignored him. I don't know why he is here again now."
After Kathleen had heard these words, she could not help but sigh emotionally. "It seems as though Mr. Wade had already planned this long ago. He was simply attacking from behind the scenes to push things along and add fuel to the flames just so the Fox family's reputation would suffer a crushing blow after the incident is exposed..."
Spencer hurriedly said, "Kathleen, Merlin Lammy is not easy to deal with. Do you think we should send them away first?"
Kathleen shook her head and said, "We can send him away for the time being but not for a lifetime. Invite them in. I'll go and meet him."
When the soldier from Ten Thousand Armies heard this, he immediately said respectfully, "Okay, Miss Fox."
At this time, Kathleen then said to Jordan and Spencer, "Grandpa, Uncle Spencer, I'll have to trouble the both of you to meet Inspector Lammy with me. As for the others, you can go back and rest first."
Jordan and Spencer naturally had no objections, and the others hurriedly prepared to leave first.
Spencer then stopped his son, Xavion, and said, "Xavion, you should prepare the plane, and we will go to Miami together after I've accompanied Kathleen to meet Inspector hammy." Xavion hurriedly said, "Okay, Dad. I'll make the arrangements now."
A few moments later, several police cars drove into the Fox family manor from the main gate.
These cars came all the way to the front of the main villa and entered the hall under the guidance of a soldier from Ten Thousand Armies.
As soon as Merlin entered the hall,
he looked at Spencer and blurted out, "Mr. Fox, there is not much time until the end of the forty-eight hours given by the kidnappers. Do you have any clues on your side that you would like to share with me?"
As soon as Merlin was done speaking, he suddenly saw Jordan sitting next to Spencer. However, Jordan seemed to look a little younger compared to the last time
Merlin had seen him and so, Merlin did not recognize him at first.
When Merlin finally recognized Jordan, he was stunned, and he blurted out, "Lord... Lord Fox?! You... When did you come back?!"
