Chapter 429: Chapter 429: I’m So Scared

Aaron Cheney chimed in from the side, playing along. "She’s the daughter of the Minister of Commerce? I have a weak heart, don’t scare me!"

"Why would I scare you?" Jack Judd said with a grin. "But I heard that identity of hers is fake. She’s a phony!"

In the past, Susan Caldwell would never have worried about her identity. No matter who she was with, she always felt she was the rightful young lady of the Caldwell family.

But ever since she met Vera Xavier, she couldn’t stand to hear the word ’fake.’ After all, she really was one.

Skylar Crowe shouted from the side, "What phony? My Susan is the one and only, honest-to-god daughter of the Minister of Commerce, the young lady of the Caldwell family! If you all keep spouting nonsense, I’ll call the police and have you all arrested!"

"Oh my, I’m so scared!" Jack Judd said, clutching his chest. "You’re all so high and mighty, aren’t you? What century do you think this is? Are you still trying to play that old feudal game of arresting people based on rumors? Locking up anyone who says a bad word about you? If you’ve got the guts, come and arrest me right now!"

Skylar Crowe was so choked with anger her chest hurt. She pointed a finger at Jack Judd, sputtering, "You..." for what felt like an eternity, but she was too stunned to form a rebuttal.

Jack Judd snorted and said defiantly, "So what if Susan Caldwell is a fake? Even if she were the real deal, I still wouldn’t give a damn!"

Skylar Crowe’s injured leg made it difficult for her to move, otherwise she would have jumped over and beaten Jack Judd up long ago. She roared, "You bastard, I dare you to say that again!"

"I could say it a hundred times, and what are you going to do about it?" Jack Judd shouted. "Susan Caldwell is a fake! Susan Caldwell is a fake! Susan Caldwell is a fake!"

When he was done, he even shoved his face closer to Skylar Crowe’s and said with a despicable smirk, "Go on, hit me if you’ve got the guts! You dare hit me one more time, and I guarantee I’ll have you sent back to the station again!"

Jack Judd wasn’t usually this bold. But with Nathaniel Nathan present, he felt as if he’d grown a spine. His courage surged, and his voice boomed with energy as he tore into them.

Most importantly, he knew Nathaniel Nathan had always wanted to deal with Susan Caldwell and her cronies, so he was just catering to Nathaniel’s wishes.

Enraged, Skylar Crowe raised her hand to actually strike Jack Judd, but the good-for-nothing immediately dodged behind Nathaniel Nathan. "Bro, that broad is trying to hit me!"

Meanwhile, Susan Caldwell held Skylar Crowe back. Under the circumstances, Susan didn’t want to stir up any more trouble.

She was normally a proud and arrogant person, but at this moment she managed to control her temper. She looked at Vera Xavier and said coolly, "We may have had our misunderstandings, but that’s all in the past. Please, keep your people on a leash. Don’t let them run around biting people."

As she spoke, her eyes flickered unconsciously toward Nathaniel Nathan, and her hands clenched into fists. To this day, she still couldn’t understand why he wouldn’t help her.

Jack Judd wasn’t having it. "I’m the one who can’t stand you lot, what the hell does that have to do with my sister-in-law? And as for ’biting,’ when did we ever bite you? You’re the ones who have been snapping at us!"

Susan Caldwell completely ignored Jack Judd, staring intently at Vera Xavier instead. In a very quiet voice, Vera replied, "It’s not in the past. You still owe me ten million."

That single sentence made Susan Caldwell’s face flush with rage. To her, this affair was a humiliation, and a ticking time bomb that could expose her true origins at any moment.
