After ine’s family left, the atmosphere shifted for Jovie and her once lively family of four, leaving a noticeable silence.


    With a serious expression on her face, Jovie sensed that the performance was finally over, and the others felt a wave of relief wash over them, ready to unwind.


    Jovie abruptly returned to the room and plopped down on the sofa. She nced at Jase and Yosef before raising her hand and smashing a ss at their feet, causing both of them to jump back in shock.


    With frustration boiling over, Jovie eximed, “You two idiots! Do you even realize how much you drink? It’s like wine is your father! The moment you catch a whiff, you’repletely lost! Don’t you understand how serious this is? If you can’t shake off this disgusting habit, then just get out of my sight!”


    Pointing at Hallie, who was around ten years old, she continued her tirade, “And you! All you ever do is stare at your phone. What’s so entertaining about that broken device? Can you even afford to waste your time on it?!”<fn681f> For original chapters go to find?novel</fn681f><h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Surprised by the scolding, young Yosef nervously replied, “Aunt, we thought you and that inedy were having a serious conversation. We figured it would be safer for us to keep quiet and let you handle things…”


    “Are you kidding?” Jovie shot back coldly. “It would have been better if ine hade alone. The critical issue is that she brought her daughter and son-inw along. What if they notice something off?! The clients from Japan and South Korea are getting impatient. If ine messes this up again, and the higher-upse after you, I won’t let you off the hook!”


    Quickly, Jase chimed in, “Sister, I believe ine was caught off guard by you. This issue should be manageable. Once we meet, let Lao Xu handle things, and it’ll definitely work out.”


    “I’m not worried about ine,” Jovie replied coldly. “I’m concerned about her daughter and son-inw causing trouble.”


    She then added, “I always thought ine was just bragging about living in Aurous Hill, driving a Rolls-Royce. But after seeing her today, her daughter and son-inw didn’t seem surprised at all, so there’s a good chance it’s true.”


    Jase expressed his astonishment, “If she can afford a top-notch Tomson and a Rolls-Royce in Aurous Hill, it suggests her family must be well-off. Should we really be using her as a mule?”


    “What’s the worst that could happen?” Jovie scoffed. “The lease on our ce is nearly up, and that small plot in Providence is just a temporary yground for us. We’re like nomads—once we eat up a pasture, we just move on and won’t be back for years. Plus, we’re all using fake identities. Who would ever track us down?”


    “Exactly!” Hallie, who had been silent until now, quickly added. “And we’re not the ones doing the deliveries. That’s handled by Aunt. She’s set up this firewall for us. If anything goes wrong, it’s her who’ll take the heat first.”


    “Moreover, Aunt’s family is all in the United States. If something were to happen to her, she wouldn’t dare implicate us. Besides, unless it’s first-degree murder, it’s nearly impossible to get the death penalty for other crimes. If anything did happen, she’d likely face life in prison at worst. For the sake of her family, she wouldn’t turn on us. The higher-ups would use her family as a cautionary tale if she did.”
