Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1067 The Power of the Cole Family

At the Cole family residence. In Brooklyn's room.

Followed by a crash, Brooklyn threw the teacup in his hand on the floor. His face was gloomy. Even though he was old and had left his descendants to their own devices, he still had a temper. Jepherson had gone too far that time.

Brooklyn had just seen the news on the TV that morning. He had never imagined that the Harvey family, who were never a threat in the past, would behave like that. If he had known about it earlier, then he wouldn't have criticized Calvin in public.

It was dead silent in Brooklyn's room. Elina's face was pale. It was her second daughter's fault. Her son had made it clear to her, but he wanted to hide the truth. Even if Brooklyn got mad, they couldn't say it. Otherwise, her son would be finished if Yousif found out.

Elina was a scheming woman. It was impossible for her not to know how important that matter was. She could only let her son bear that responsibility alone. She promised that she would teach her second daughter a lesson when she returned home.

Elina kept her head down. Flynt, who was standing opposite her, did not do anything. Brooklyn looked at Flynt. Even though the child had failed, his attitude was not that of an ordinary person. When Brooklyn threw the teacup, everyone else in the room shuddered. Only Flynt stood there, not once did he flinch. Was he not afraid, or had he already thought about his punishment?

Brooklyn narrowed his eyes slightly. Right then, although there were a lot of children in the Cole family, only a few of them were outstanding. Especially the boys, where not many of them were capable. Flynt could be considered the most outstanding one among them.

Brooklyn looked at the people around him and ordered, "Get out, all of you. Flynt, stay."

"Yes."

"Yes."

Everyone, including Yousif, backed out of the room. After they were gone, Brooklyn looked at Flynt. "Come here. They're all gone. What are you still standing there for?"

Flynt stepped forward to face Brooklyn. Brooklyn glanced at Lennox and said, "Bring a chair over for him."

Lennox was in a hurry to do what Brooklyn had ordered. He moved a chair for Flynt. Flynt sat down and looked at Brooklyn face to face.

"Old Master." It was normal for Flynt to address his great-grandfather that way, according to tradition. However, it was the first time someone in the family had addressed Brooklyn that way.

At first, Brooklyn wasn't used to it. He didn't respond to it immediately, but then he chuckled. "You're indeed bold. Looks like your mother taught you quite well."

Flynt said, "It was my negligence this time. Old Master, please punish me."

"Punishment is necessary. If there's no punishment, then you will not learn your lesson. However, we can put it aside for now. When you want to undergo this punishment in the future, I will give it to you." Brooklyn said. Flynt looked at him and asked, "Old Master, there's something I don't understand. Why has our family been in charge of politics all these years and refuse to step into the business world?" Brooklyn chuckled. "The Cole family has always been loyal to Capital City for many generations. It has never had an inordinate wish. On one hand, the Cole family had created great achievements pre- independence. No matter where these achievements are placed, they are more than enough for our family's living expenses. The government officials have also been good to our family. These years, they have been taking good care of our family, and we've also tried our best to help the country."

"The Cole family is loyal to the country and will not do anything that will damage the nation's interest."

"Although someone in the family had brought shame upon us, it does not mean that the Cole Family had given up the idea of being loyal."

"It has always been hateful and worrying for collusion to happen between the government and businessmen. The Cole family should not get involved in this mess."

"Firstly, we can't lower our status. On the other hand, our family doesn't need these things."

Flynt replied with a question, "That is to say, the Cole family has always been in politics and does not interfere with anyone's business?"

"You can say that, but there's another explanation," Brooklyn added, and Flynt's face twitched. "Please continue."

Brooklyn said, "The Cole family never dabbled in business due to our principles. However, in the eyes of outsiders, the Cole family wants to take control of Capital City's political power."

"Capital City is the center of the country. Everything should be handed over to Capital City. You can imagine how powerful the Cole family is in this respect. Because of this, a lot of people are worried. Firstly, too much power is in the hands of our family. They're worried that we will try to control them. Secondly, some powerful families and tycoons in business have done shady things that can't be exposed. It's nothing when the Cole family turns a blind eye to it, but if we investigate it, then I'm afraid that no one in Capital City will be spared."

"That is to say, some people are worried that the Cole family will do something out of the blue, so they will try their best to weaken our family's power." Flynt slowly understood.

Brooklyn said, "Although Jepherson does things the way he likes, the Harvey family seems to have no intention of correcting him. We can tell this from the fact that Calvin is not in the city." "Old Master, what do you mean?"

Flynt lifted his eyebrows and suspicion could be seen on his handsome face.

Brooklyn sat down while Lennox cleaned the floor, busy serving by his side. Brooklyn then said, "The ancestor of the Harvey family and I were comrades-in-arms who once fought together on the battlefield." "The Harvey family will never have the thought of replacing us. When it comes to the Harvey family's plan to advance into politics, they only retaliated because they felt threatened."

"This was all done by your useless father. If it weren't for him, then there wouldn't be so much trouble. Your father wanted to bully the weak and take advantage of his power, which eventually led to today." "The Harvey family's car business has spread all over the world. Although we have control over Capital City, we can't do whatever we want. Our main goal is to do our job well. Your father did not make any progress as he was unaware of these reasons. Before Jepherson took charge of the Harvey Group, your father proposed to increase the proportion of the material transformation and mulNorahtional tax collection in order to add some income to Capital City."

"With this, he had offended the Harvey family."

"What's more, Rhys's company was a mulNorahtional company. In this way, your father had offended many people."

"Calvin is a smart person. He did not make any objections. Taxes are a headache for every enterprise. If the tax percentage is increased by even one percent, then it is very likely to influence the company's fortune. Your father was arrogant and made things worse. Calvin waited for other people to object while he watched by the sidelines."

"As the saying goes, if you win the hearts of the people, then you win the world over. Your father lost the people's support. That's why the Cole family's power has been greatly reduced these few years and came to this point as it is today."
