After sending Elaine’s family off, Lucy’s family of four, which was originally warm and inviting, suddenly became somewhat silent.
Lucy’s expression was a little grim, whereas the other three felt as if they could finally rest and relax now that the performance was finally over.
Lucy’s expression was grim as she returned to the room. She sat down on the sofa directly and raised her eyes to look at Jalen and Kyler. After that, she raised her hand and smashed a glass at their feet. Both of them were so frightened that they jumped back in place in fear.
Immediately afterward, Lucy then cursed, “You two b*stards! You only f*cking know how to drink and drink! You lose your mind as soon as you see liquor, and it seems as if both of you lost your souls when you smell the fragrance of liquor! Don’t you know that business matters are the most important?! If you still cannot get rid of this f*cking problem, you can just go back to where you f*cking came from, then!”
As she said that, she then pointed at Heather, who was in her thirties, and she scolded the latter coldly, “As for you, all you f*cking do is play with your cell phone with your head lowered! What’s so fun about that f*cking cell phone?! Can you earn any f*cking money by playing with your cell phone?!”
The three of them were caught off-guard after getting scolded. and the young Kyler explained nervously, “Aunt Martha, that’s because we thought that you were almost done talking with that woman named Elaine. Aside from being your accompaniment, there is basically no use for the three of us. So, instead of making mistakes by saying more, it’s safer for us to talk less...”
“F*ck you!” Lucy said coldly, “It’d have been fine if Elaine had come here on her own this time, but the main point is that she also brought her daughter and son-in-law with her. What if they saw through something?! The customers in Japan and South Korea cannot wait any longer. I don’t have any other mules available. If I were to get blamed if anything were to go wrong with Elaine, I will not f*cking let you off!”
“That’s right!” Heather, who had not spoken, then hurriedly said, “Furthermore, we are not the ones who are delivering the goods directly. The delivery is handled by Aunt Sara, and it’s her side of the operation. This is the firewall that Aunt Martha has set up for us. Even if anything were to truly go wrong, Aunt Sara would be the first to go down.”
“What’s more, Aunt Sara’s family is all in the United States. If anything were to really happen to her, she definitely would not dare to point us out. In addition, aside from first-degree murder, it’s basically impossible for anyone to be sentenced to death for other crimes. If something were to really happen to her, she would only be imprisoned for life, at most. She would never betray us for the sake of her family. Otherwise, the higher-ups will definitely punish her family as a warning to all of us.”
Lucy nodded, and her tone softened a little as she said lightly, “It doesn’t matter even if something were to happen to Sara. She doesn’t know our true identity. Even if there is an investigation, it will be very difficult for anyone to link this matter directly to us.”
