After living together for so many years, Jack knew that Eugenia had great ambitions for the position of Earl Ferguson, but he didn't think that his wife would put her ambitions into action. He immediately scolded Eugenia anxiously, "Eugenia, I'm warning you, don't do anything stupid. I don't care what you do. If you do anything, immediately stop!"
"Stop? Jack Ferguson, you bastard. You're threatening me because of Connor Ferguson, you bastard? Do you understand what it means to you once your brother Alfredo dies and Connor Ferguson returns to Flosinone, inherits your family and becomes the new Earl Ferguson? "
"Jack Ferguson, do you really think you've cleaned up all the mess you've made over the years? The shop on Sicto Avenue, the thousand acres of fertile land in Nrent, the Vesude Manor in the southern suburbs, the 15% shares of Cologne Steel Company, the IOU of three thousand pounds from Costa Chemical Factory … Do you think no one else knows about all the benefits you've taken from the Ferguson Family? Alfredo is your brother. When he inherited the family, he felt that he owed you, so he pretended not to know about all the things you've done over the years! "
"Martinez, that old bastard, remembers everything you've done. He has the evidence in his hands! Once Alfredo dies and Connor Ferguson becomes Earl Ferguson, Martinez will hand over the evidence to Connor Ferguson. Do you think this little bastard, who has left the family for ten years, will still remember the relationship between you and his uncle? Do you think he won't pursue the matter of your embezzlement of the family's property? Jack Ferguson, why don't you talk to me? " Eugenia asked Jack Ferguson bitterly. Although she was very emotional, she didn't lose her mind and kept her voice low.
Although Jack Ferguson and Eugenia Da Silva restrained themselves and spoke softly, Conner could still hear them clearly through the probing of his spiritual power outside the house.
Connor didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard such shocking news instead of finding the spy that Reyes had planted in the Ferguson Family.
No wonder the financial situation of the Ferguson Family had been deteriorating over the years. It turned out that Jack Ferguson, the maggot, had embezzled the family's property. In his memory, his third aunt, Eugenia, who was born in a small merchant family and married Jack Ferguson by getting pregnant out of wedlock, was actually so ambitious that she wanted to turn him into a dead man and make Jack Ferguson the next Earl Ferguson. This was completely beyond Connor's expectations!
Although it seemed that Eugenia intended to harm him, Connor didn't take it to heart. He only found it funny. After all, he was now a rank 1 Magus. Eugenia wasn't a threat to him, and he could kill this greedy woman on the spot with just a thought. With such a huge difference in strength, it was like an ant wanting to kill an elephant. Why would the elephant care about the ant's thoughts?
Just as Connor was silently hiding outside the house with an indifferent smile on his face, Jack Ferguson was dumbstruck when he heard his wife's string of questions in the study room. He had never thought that his act of embezzling the family's property, which he thought was very secretive and only knew about himself, wouldn't be hidden from the woman beside him who only knew how to spend money!
After a long while, Connor Ferguson's third uncle, Jack Ferguson, recovered from the shock. He looked at his wife with a fierce expression and asked angrily, "How did you know about this?"
Eugenia didn't feel any fear towards her husband's fierce expression. After sleeping with him for so many years, she knew all too well that the man in front of her was fierce. A disdainful smile appeared on her well-maintained face. She waved her hand and said, "You don't need to know how I know. You only need to know that I'm your wife, the mother of your son and daughter. I've been with you for 30 years, and I definitely won't harm you!"
Eugenia paused for a moment, then looked at Jack Ferguson and said very seriously, "And the most important thing is that even a woman like me knows about your secret. How could Martinez, the old bastard who has been running the Ferguson family all his life, not know about it? That damn old bastard, the reason why he didn't make trouble for you was because Alfredo acquiesced to your actions. As long as Connor Ferguson becomes Earl Ferguson, you, the third uncle, will be finished! "
After listening to his wife's words, Jack Ferguson realized that what she said was very likely to be true. His face suddenly turned pale. A few seconds later, he seemed to be completely defeated. He staggered two steps and sat back on the chair behind the desk. His face was full of depression and he fell into silence.
Under Eugenia's suggestion, he chose not to compete and even advised her to give up just now. On one hand, he knew that Connor had the upper hand. Even if he wanted to compete, he probably wouldn't be able to win. On the other hand, he had made a lot of money from the Ferguson family over the years and saved a lot of money. Even if he completely retired from the Ferguson family, he would still be a rich man. His family wouldn't run out of money. But now, Eugenia's words were like a sharp knife that completely cut off his pride.
Although Eugenia was disappointed to see her husband in such a state, they had been together for decades, after all, and had a child together. Their relationship was very deep, so she felt a trace of heartache. She walked over with concern and hugged Jack Ferguson in her arms.
In Eugenia's arms, Jack Ferguson felt a little comforted. He raised his head and looked at Eugenia. He said in a low voice, "I know I'm sorry for the family and Alfredo, but I have no choice. I'm doing this for our family. Henry and the others can't inherit the family, but I can at least buy a family property for them so that they won't have to worry about the rest of their lives."
