At this moment, the villagers had heard the commotion and came out.
Many people gathered in front of the Brown family’s courtyard, discussing among themselves.
Those who knew about the past grudges between the Browns and Owens quietly shared what they knew with others.
Mrs.
Collins, who knew the grudge between the two families best, stepped forward and pointed at Myles, saying, “You must be Mr.
Owen.
You should have a conscience, right?
I know that you asked Peter to take the blame back then, and you promised to pay for his father’s full recovery and even give a large sum for his recovery.
But after paying for the surgery, you just disappeared.
Is that fair to Peter for taking the blame?”
At this time, the villagers began to scold Myles for his shamelessness.
Myles turned to Peter Brown and said, “Peter, it’s all my fault, and today, I specifically came to apologize and brought half a million as compensation for the damage I caused your family.” As he spoke, he took out a suitcase from the car.
When the villagers heard the half a million, they gasped.
To be honest, that much money was enough to forgive the man.
Raven also looked a little dazed at the suitcase, somewhat confused.
“I’ve said that since you threatened me in the county that we can only be enemies.
I don’t want your money.
Take it and get lost!”
“Peter, it’s all my fault.
Let’s not go overboard.”
“You’re right, let’s not go overboard.
How did you speak to me in then?
You said that your family was not something that we, small farmers, could provoke.
With the power of the Owens, you could easily send me back to prison.
I’d like to see how capable you are of doing that!”
Hearing Peter’s words, the villagers realized that something else must have happened between Myles and Peter, and their view of Myles changed again.
“I didn’t mean any of what I said before.
Please don’t take it seriously.”
“Don’t take it seriously?
What a joke, Myles!
If you could do anything to me, I guess you’d have done it by now.
Let me tell you, I don’t even need to get involved in dealing with you; the Owen family won’t have any comfortable days left!”
“Peter Brown, I came to beg personally.
What else do you want?
If the money is not enough, just say it!”
“Myles, aren’t you very powerful in the county?
Then why come to beg me?
I don’t care how much money you spend.
If you don’t leave, I’ll MAKE you leave.”
As he spoke, Peter picked up a heavy book and rushed toward Myles.
“Peter, let it go!”
Raven stopped Peter and looked at Myles, saying, “Mr.
Owen, we are farmers, and we can’t afford to be associated with you. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Take your money and go.”
At this moment, Myles’s expression changed.
Suddenly, he knelt in front of Peter and said, “Peter, I was wrong.
Please let me go.
By the way, I’ve already made my son leave Fiona Jackson.
He will never have anything to do with her again.
My niece is even prettier than Fiona.
I’ll introduce her to you…”
Seeing Myles like this and hearing his words, the villagers were all stunned.
They looked at Peter with awe.
To make a county’s boss fear him like this proved that Peter was not ordinary.
Mrs.
Collins sneered loudly, “Mr.
Owen, your words are ridiculous.
Do you really think there are no beautiful women in our village?
And you want to introduce your niece to Peter?
You underestimate us!”
At this time, the women in the village began to scold, as if Myles’s words had provoked public anger.
Peter was so angry at Myles’s shamelessness that he picked up the plaque and was about to hit him.
“Get out!”
Under the restraint of Raven and others, Peter yelled at Myles.
“Peter, isn’t my apology enough?
Are you going to push my family to the point of no return?
I’ll fight you!”
Myles jumped up and pounced at Peter.
The villagers had to pull them apart after more struggling.
Peter looked at Myles and said, “Are you afraid now?
It’s useless to say anything now.
My friends are more than capable of dealing with you.
If you don’t leave now, even your family members will be dealt with!”
In fact, Myles wanted to use a bullying tactic to scare Raven and his family.
He knew Raven’s character and thought that this would force Raven to suppress Peter.
Myles’s tactic did have some effect, and Raven looked at his son and said, “Peter…”
“Dad, don’t say anything.
Even if I want to stop it, I can’t.
My friends want to deal with him, and that’s what he deserves!”
Raven looked at Myles and said, “Just go.”
Seeing the villagers’ unfriendly eyes, Myles had no choice but to get in his car and leave.
Peter saw that Zachary Owen was also sitting in the car but did not dare to get out.
“Peter, what’s going on?
Tell us.”
Seeing the car leaving, Liza pulled her son and asked him about it.
As the villagers were also looking at him curiously, Peter gave a brief account of his encounter with Myles.
Upon hearing the shameless actions of Myles and his son, Raven cursed on the spot and said loudly to Peter, “Why didn’t you say so earlier?
I would’ve beaten the hell out of him!”
The villagers also cursed Myles’s shamelessness.
“Son, why is Myles so afraid of you?”
“He’s not afraid of me; he’s afraid of my friends.
In prison, I made some friends who later became leaders, some even with great power.
They want to punish the Owens, and Myles has nowhere to turn but to beg me.
You all should know that without those friends, Myles would never have come to beg for mercy overnight.
So, he’s not worth sympathizing with.”
Liza Smith said, “Yes, you’re right!”
At this time, the village chief Grayson Walter came forward and said, “Peter, since your friends are so powerful, can you ask them to help develop our village?”
Peter thought to himself that he was just talking about this, so he might as well discuss it now, “They may not be interested in this place.”
Grayson Walter sighed, “That’s how it is, that’s how it is.”
“Chief have you seen the wine I made?
This time I made some wine to sell and made quite a bit of money from it.
I want to develop it in the village and lease a piece of land.
Please help me.”
“Good, this is a good thing, not something I need to help with, but something you are doing to help the village develop.
Tell me, which piece of land do you have your eye on?”
After the dealings with Myles, the villagers naturally acknowledged Peter Brown as a powerful person and no longer looked down on him as a child.
