Chapter 375 The Cold Shoulder

Whatever it was that Kurt did, five companies simultaneously terminated their contracts with the Huttons’ business in Saspiuburg, resulting in a massive loss of hundreds of millions. Benjamin and Sean were so horrified by the news that they decided to return to Saspiuburg on the earliest flight. Eleanor, however, chose to remain in Beshya on the pretext that she had not enjoyed herself enough.

Since the company’s affairs were of top priority, Benjamin and Sean had no choice but to let her be. “Amelia, take good care of your mother,” Benjamin reminded before leaving. “Don’t let her hang around questionable people. Otherwise, I won’t give you your allowance.”

“I got it, Daddy,” Amelia replied, though somewhat annoyed.

When Benjamin and Sean finally arrived at the airport, they ran into Kurt, who had been patiently waiting for them the entire morning. “Mr. Hutton, this is what you get for finding fault with Amelia Winters. Getting those five companies to terminate their contracts with you is just a little gift from me. It’s my way of letting you know that Amelia isn’t someone you can push around. Your family may be wealthy, but you’re insignificant to her, so please stop parading around like some big shot. Nobody gives a damn about the Huttons.”

Upon hearing that, Benjamin scowled in frustration.

Sean, on the other hand, had a look of blank bewilderment. “I’m sorry, mister, but has there been some kind of misunderstanding between us? I don’t think my family has ever worked with you.”

“Why don’t you ask your father? I’m sure that’ll clear things up,” Kurt replied as he shot a glance at Sean.

Alas, that only earned Kurt a death glare from Benjamin. “Sean, let’s go!”

Even though he was still as confused as before, Sean quickly kept up with his father.

Behind them, Kurt smirked, happy that his plan had gone swimmingly.

“Dad, what’s going on? Who’s that guy?” Sean asked. “I’m sure we’ve never worked with him before, so why is he making things difficult for us?”

“He’s one of the people around that b*tch! It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have underestimated them. Because of her, our family hasn’t had a day of peace in the past twenty years. And now she’s back to torture us even further! She’s nothing but a jinx! I should’ve been more heavy-handed back then instead of just giving her away.”

Sean’s brows knitted into a frown. “Dad, there must be some kind of misunderstanding.”

“What misunderstanding? She’s a jinx! There’s no doubt about that!”

Plucking up his courage, Sean continued, “Dad, I’ve been noticing how agitated you get every time you talk about her. It isn’t like you at all. Does her presence affect you that much, or are you afraid of her?”
