Return Of The Prodigy
Return of the Prodigy Chapter 83

Under the night, the Hartleys villa was brightly lit!

An orchestra in tailcoats played soothing music, and chefs with tall hats busied themselves preparing tonight's dinner.

The dining table was filled with various high-end wines and dishes, the hall was sparkling with lights...

All the Hartleys's relatives and friends had arrived, each one dressed in formal wear, gathered in groups, talking and laughing. The atmosphere in the entire villa seemed exceptionally harmonious. In the inner hall, Matilda, Terry, Dave, and Daniel were having a confidential discussion.

"Darling, are you sure this will work?"

"To be honest, it's a bit tricky. Since that lunatic came back, Katie seems to have changed completely. In the past, anything could manipulate her, but now, we've tried all tricks, and none have worked." "In any case, this time we must drive them out of the Hartleys and avenge Peter."

Daniel, with a plan in mind, smiled confidently. "Grandpa, Dad, rest assured. I've prepared a series of connected dramas today. Even if one move fails, there's a follow-up."

"And Katie can't even dream that it's us doing this."

The Hartleys members were suddenly invigorated, couldn't help but exclaim, "Daniel, you're indeed clever. Today, we'll follow your lead."

"If only Peter could have one-third of your intelligence, he wouldn't have ended up like this!" they sighed.

Daniel smiled faintly, looking at them as if they were fools, thinking to himself, "The Hartleys, not just Peter is a fool, but all of you are not much smarter."

After all the effort, his target was not just Katie's family. His true goal had always been the Hartleys!

As long as the Smiths swallowed up the Hartleys, they could become a first-class wealthy family in Lisle. That's why, after divorcing Katie six years ago, he married Matilda, who was inferior to Katie in every aspect. Of course, it was also because Matilda actively seduced him!

It's just women. Don't pass up on something for free!

And today, everything he orchestrated was just the beginning. First, kick Katie out, then take control of the resort project, and gradually erode the Hartleys's customer resources...

Including the project he discussed in the provincial capital, officially belonging to Hartleys Group, but the other party only recognized him. With a word from him, they could immediately abandon the Hartleys and join him. So, the Hartleys's doomsday had already begun...

For this day, he had been plotting for seven years, and it was time to enjoy the fruits of victory.

"By the way, Daniel, how much did you spend to buy off Amanda? This money should be paid by my Hartleys!" Terry said.

Daniel quickly refused, "Dad, you're being too polite. That crazy woman is obsessed with money. I gave her three hundred thousand, and she agreed."

"Three hundred thousand? Okay, I'll have the finance department transfer the money to you tomorrow. After all, you're helping our Hartleys, how can we let you pay for it yourself," Terry said. Daniel smiled.

What is it called when someone sells you out, and you still help them with money? This is it! Knock, knock, knock...

Footsteps approached, and a servant knocked on the door, saying, "Master, Katie's family has arrived."

"Good, I know." Dave responded in a deep voice.

"Hehe, the show is about to begin. I can't wait to see the expressions on their faces when they kneel down and kowtow. I've been looking forward to this." Matilda's eyes showed a malicious resentment. Terry's gaze turned cold as he said, "Let's go, let's avenge your brother!"

Terry and Matilda immediately stepped out of the inner room.

Dave sat in the chair without moving, frowning, and asked, "Daniel, what do you mean by the follow-up plan?"

...

...

In the villa's hall, as Katie's family entered, the conversations and laughter came to an abrupt stop. People looked at them with disgust, wishing they could stay far away.

"Why is she here today?"

"Who invited this family of losers? Are they trying to make our Hartleys even more embarrassed?"

"I invited her."

With a coquettish shout, Matilda walked over, laughing, "Don't you guys read the news? She is a celebrity in our Lisle. It's all over the media and forums."

"A kiss in public, and all this ingratitude, wolf in sheep's clothing, ignoring poor relatives... In short, our Hartleys has also become famous! It's just that Lisle is a bit small; otherwise, she might have gone viral nationwide."

After Matilda finished speaking, the relatives and friends who were unaware of the incident immediately took out their phones to check.

After a moment, their faces turned red, filled with indignation.

"Is she still human? Actually drove her own cousin out to sleep on the streets?"

"Didn't her cousin just ask her for a job? She couldn't even help with such a small favor?"

"Look at this... so many people watching, kissing each other shamelessly. Truly a shameless scum!"

Vicious curses resounded one after another.

Katie's expression turned unpleasant. Although she knew today was a trap, it was still challenging to bear. Especially with her daughter present, what would Annie think upon hearing these words?

"Matilda, I came here to congratulate today. I don't want to argue with you and ruin everyone's mood. If you invited me just to humiliate me, I'm sorry, we'll leave first."

After saying this in a cold voice, Katie picked up Annie and turned to leave.

"Hold on!"

Suddenly, Matilda shouted loudly, "Why are you acting so arrogantly? Even facing death, you're still so stubborn!"

"You're right. I didn't invite you to the banquet today. I did want to humiliate you and torment you. So what?"

"You've always claimed that you were responsible for the resort project because you negotiated it. Today, my husband is back, and Daniel brought back a twenty-billion deal from the provincial capital, much larger than your project. What's there for you to be proud of?" "Also, we haven't talked about the main business today. Dare you leave?"

Matilda snorted and said, "Dad, you're the head of the company. You should announce it."

Terry said in a deep voice, "Katie, now the negative news about you has flooded Lisle, severely affecting the reputation of Hartleys Group. So, starting from today, you are fired!"
