Chapter 95
In the hotel, a few bodyguards slunk back to their room looking like a pack of kicked puppies.
The fake Calvert was propped up on the couch, his face wiped clean of blood, revealing bruises that painted his nose and cheeks. His body ached all over, and he couldn’t tell if any bones were broken.
He had already called for the hotel doctor to come over and give him a once–over.
He couldn’t fathom how a slip of a girl could pack such a wallop. He groaned in pain, waiting for the doctor.

Across from him, Kermit was in a panic as he pleaded, “Mr. Wallace, I… I had no idea my niece was such a spitfire. I’ll drag her back here myself to apologize, okay?”
Calvert snorted, thinking about demanding an apology from Cordelia..
“Business is business,” he finally grunted. “I don’t let personal squabbles mess with my deals” Kermit looked like he’d been thrown a lifeline. “So are we still on for the investment?”
Calvert rolled his eyes. “The Smith family is kin to you, so I’ll give you that much respect. But the cash better be in my account quick, or you’ll miss the boat.”
Kermit almost danced with relief. “I’ll get right on it, sir!”
Overjoyed, Kermit responded, “I’ll go straight away and prepare the funds, then bring them right over to you!”
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, then went out to the door and turned back, “Mr. Wallace, you can rest assured that I will educate Cordelia when I go back!”
Thinking of Cordelia, Calvert flashed greedy desire in his eyes, “Send it again after training next time.”
When Kermit left, Calvert showed a biting look on his face, “Oh, we will take as much money as the Delaney family gives us!”
The person next to Calvert suddenly opened his mouth, “Should we withdraw?”

Fake Calvert showed the idea of investing in that big project. Jimmy was fooled and rushed to send money. As for the Delaney family who crossed Calvert, it would pay the price!
After dropping Cordelia off at school, Everard returned to the Midnight Scent.
“Boss, everything cool?” The real Calvert asked.
“Nope,” Everard replied, casting a side–eye at him. “I heard there’s a big shot named Calvert in town?”
Calvert froze, stammering out a confused response, ‘It’s a trick to prevent the investigation on you.”
Everard sighed. “Explain why this Calvert invited Cordelia over for breakfast at his hotel?”
Calvert raced his mind raced. “I swear, boss, I’m innocent! I’d never cross you with Cordelia!”
Everard kicked him. “Quit yapping and start digging!”
Five minutes later, Calvert slouched back, his face the picture of misery. Not only was the fraudster using his name, but he was also raking in millions.
“Boss, do you think that Calvert is a good name?”
Everard, buried in his book, didn’t respond.
Calvert got to the point, “The guy’s real name is Calvert, too. A con artist. He’s scammed the Smith family of over a hundred million, and now the Delaney family is about to hand him fifty million.”
