My Supermodel Wife

Chapter 761 - Shifting Power

Irene nodded understandingly. "I understand your feelings. Even after hearing the truth from your brother, I cannot remain calm. However, my advice is to not have to deal with the Ricardo family anymore!"

"There is no right or wrong way to judge this situation. If you launch an attack on them later, do you think Jack will be happy to hear that? Isn't he suffering in silence so our two families won't fight?"

Her words succeeded in making James frown and fall into contemplation.

If Jack didn't feel too guilty in his heart, he wouldn't have made himself this way.

He refuses to go home out of guilt!

What does he have to do with the deaths of his parents and Darrell?!

This is all pure accident!

....

The next day, eight o'clock in the morning.

At Eden Hotel, parking space downstairs.

The white Infiniti slowly entered the parking lot from the side of the road.

As soon as the car stopped, the Ricardo family's old butler rushed into the lobby.

"Mr Alfred, where have you been? The madam has been looking for you all night, and she hasn't slept yet!"

The tone was indirectly harsh, and she looked at Alfred's indifferent brows, extremely displeased.

After dropping off the guests last night, Alfred disappeared.

The old woman was furious about this and sent many bodyguards out to search, but found him nowhere.

Luckily, he came back alone!

Alfred looked at the old servant with a distant gaze, and when he walked into the lobby with her, he asked faintly, "Grandmother didn't come back home?"

The old servant shook her head. "She can't go back, the Widjaya family is still in the living room upstairs. If the matter isn't resolved, Madam definitely can't leave!"

"The matter hasn't been resolved?!" Alfred walked slowly, and his tone rose slightly.

He glanced sideways at the old maid's gaze with the same hatred, and sneered, "What else do you need to think about? The bad guy complains first, and must understand the limits!"

The old servant took a breath, opened her mouth and forgot to react.

It was only after Alfred's figure slowly walked in front of her that the old servant reacted and hurriedly chased after him. "How can you say that? Obviously it's the Widjaya family ..."

"Stop!" Alfred sternly scolded, and the frightened old servant trembled.

He stood in the hotel lobby, closed his eyes and sighed. "You have been with my grandmother for decades. Is it true that you couldn't figure out what she was doing back then? Do you think the words of the Widjaya family are not clear enough? Or… do you think that I was born a fool and deserved to be left in the dark?"

The old servant looked at Alfred in bewilderment, only to feel that everything had changed tonight.

She followed Alfred in bewilderment and saw him enter Florence's room. After a while, the sound of a teacup breaking came from inside.

The old maid wanted to come in and take a look, but she hesitated.

About five minutes later, seven bodyguards suddenly appeared from the elevator entrance.

At this time, the door instantly opened, and Florence's angry expression could be seen.

"Grandmother, you're old, and you must... live long! From now on, I will take care of all Ricardo's family affairs."

Alfred said as he helped her out, his tone unmistakable.

Florence struggled to let go, her face pale. "Alfred, I didn't expect you to rebel..."

Despite her refusal, Alfred glanced at the old servant outside the door, and then ordered the guards. "Send grandma back home safely. Recently, things are not safe, so please send more people to guard the house. Remember not to let her go out at will, and watch out for the bad guys!"

The bodyguard saluted. "Yes, sir!"

Hearing their words, Florence took a deep breath.

"Alfred! How dare you! I am your grandmother, how dare you let them watch over me!?"

Florence had been at the pinnacle of her life and widely known throughout her life, but in the end, she did not expect her grandson to ruin all her arrangements and calculations.

There was a trace of respect in Alfred's eyes. He nodded and his tone eased slightly. "Grandmother, the Widjayas know what you did back then, do you think they would just let it pass?"

"Of course, I will take care of all these matters. Grandma is old, it is not good for you to handle our family problems in future... So just enjoy your old age in our home. Today, the world is different. Since I am the head of the Ricardo family, you must obey all my arrangements!"

Florence couldn't hear Alfred's words calmly. When she saw the bodyguards approaching her, she was so angry that she turned around and raised her hand, then slapped Alfred hard in the face.

There were traces of palms on Alfred's red cheeks, along with the swelling that can be seen very clearly.

Look at how much anger had been released by Florence.

She pointed at Alfred with anger, and the muscles in her cheeks shook. "Alfred, you really are a traitor! I taught you all these years in vain, how dare you…"

"Why are you guys waiting? Bring the old granny and maid back! From now on, don't let the two of them leave the Ricardo family's house for even one step!" Alfred suppressed the sadness in his heart, and said to the guards in a cold voice.

The guards dared not delay, eight people instantly surrounded Florence and the old maid, and they forcibly took them away from the Eden Hotel.

Alfred stood in the corridor while constantly hearing Florence's cursing and nagging.

He didn't know whether this was right or wrong, but it had to end!

Starting today, after the Ricardo Family Hundred Years Banquet, only a few people in the world could see the Iron Lady from Yogyakarta.

Over the years since then, the position of the Ricardo family in Yogyakarta has not changed, but is slowly decreasing indeed.

Two years later, Florence celebrated her 83rd birthday on her bed alone.

...

In the morning, half past nine.

In the living room, James listened to Clifford's report with a strange expression. "That old lady really left?"

Why didn't he believe it so much!

If it weren't for Jack's situation last night, they wouldn't have left the Ricardo family's private room.

The problem wasn't over yet, but why did Florence leave the hotel so early in the morning?

If she didn't plan to trouble the Widjaya family again, she could have left last night, so why wait until today!

Clifford glanced at James and nodded solemnly. "They did go. Alfred's bodyguards personally escorted them away by force."

"Did they leave anything for the Widjaya family?" Irene asked.

Clifford shook his head. "No, they seemed to be in a hurry to leave the hotel. But her face was so ugly, we kept hearing her cursing and nagging when she was dragged away by the guards."

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

This time, Jack shook his head and sighed. "Just let them go."
