Chapter 659

Chapter 659

Janie was the best at reading people. She could hear Felix's disgust toward Elizabeth in his tone.

"Don't even get me started." Janie covered her face and wiped away tears as she spoke.

A beautiful woman's tears really touched the heart of a man who used to be powerful and influential.

"Janie, just tell me what happened. If Elizabeth bullied you, I'll definitely get justice for you. I'll be straight with you - Elizabeth is my daughter-in-law!" Felix confided in Janie.

"I know," Janie sniffled.

"I knew Elizabeth was your daughter-in-law before I came back to the country. My daughter's child goes to the same kindergarten as your granddaughter. Since my granddaughter and your granddaughter get along so well, and my daughter knows your daughter-in-law, my daughter just..."

Felix asked, "What happened?"

"My daughter had a hard time finding work. She's in finance, and she finally put together a financing project. She wanted to show it to Alexander, but... Elizabeth beat her up, cursed at her, and threw her out."

"She usually seems pretty nice though."

Janie kept watching Felix's expression as she spoke.

Felix's face immediately turned dark: "That woman is getting more and more out of control! She's out there living it up, keeping men on the side. It's bad enough that the men she keeps around come harassing us all the time, but now she's even hitting Alexander's clients! This is outrageous!"

"Please don't get upset." Janie was secretly delighted but kept her face calm.

Felix fell silent.

He suddenly felt he'd said too much.

As the saying goes, you shouldn't air your dirty laundry in public. No matter how much he'd run into a childhood friend, he shouldn't have blurted out all these shameful things about his daughter-in-law.

Ugh!

He was angry at himself!

After calming down from his anger, Felix felt it wasn't really his fault.

He should blame Elizabeth!

Who told that woman to be so blatant?

Felix calmed his anger a bit, then asked Janie: "Janie, I heard over twenty years ago that you moved abroad and married a Chinese gentleman. When did you come back?"

Janie smiled sadly: "I've had a hard life. My husband died before my daughter was even born."

Felix couldn't stand to see Janie cry: "You and your daughter have really suffered, especially since you grew up pampered. But it's good you're back now. The country has developed just as well as abroad, especially Sunwillow City."

Janie immediately seized the opportunity: "That's right. I've heard for a long time that Sunwillow City is completely different now - it's an international metropolis. There aren't many cities in the world developing as well as Sunwillow City, and in Sunwillow City, your Windsor Group is the strongest."

Felix's heart soared.

Although he hadn't run the Windsor Group for over ten years, Felix still felt very pleased.

His tone became even warmer: "Janie, it's good you're back. In Sunwillow City, you have me and the Jones family backing you up. You can rest assured no one will dare bully you. Whatever you need, if you're short on money, just tell me."

At this moment, Felix had completely forgotten that even he and Sierra, along with the entire Windsor Manor, were supported by Alexander.

The only reason Alexander hadn't frozen his account was because he was his father.

The floating-on-air Felix kept making promises to Janie.

"As for my daughter-in-law bullying you orphans and widows, I'll go talk to Alexander!" Felix acted big in front of Janie.

His heart was also a little bit moved by Janie.

Thirty years ago, when Felix was thirty and established, he'd had plenty of women around him.

It's just that back then, Sierra was a tigress who knew how to keep her husband in line.

So besides Esme on Star Island as his one mistress, Felix had other women too, he just didn't leave any consequences.

Men!

Especially men who held power when they were young - who among them didn't enjoy a few extra women?

Sometimes, even if he didn't take the initiative, people seeking favors would send women directly to Felix's bed.

Delicate ones, timid ones, pitiful ones, seductive ones, sexy ones - Felix had enjoyed them all.

Later, as he got older and after the Star Island incident, once Felix had a proper wife and concubine, he settled down a lot.

But now, seeing Janie again, somehow this old guy in his sixties felt his heart stir.

When a man's heart is moved by a woman, he'll do everything possible to prove his abilities.

"Child, don't be afraid! That woman bullied you, but I've got your back! I was like a big brother to your mother growing up and loved her dearly, so I'll definitely get justice for you." Felix patted his chest and promised Claire.

"Thank you, Uncle Felix, thank you." Claire immediately expressed her thanks.

"You two go home first. I'll give you an answer." Felix said.

"Thank you." A fifty-year-old woman with tears in her eyes acting coquettish was enough to give anyone goosebumps.

But Felix found it very pleasing.

After Janie and Claire walked a few steps, Felix called them back: "Wait a moment."

Janie's eyes still held tears that seemed about to fall but didn't, and she looked at Felix coyly: "Is there something else?"

Felix pulled out a card from his inner pocket: "This card has a million in it. You two take it for now."

Joy immediately surged in Janie's heart.

However, she still kept her face calm: "Thank you. Thank you."

Her voice became even more coquettish.

Felix fell silent.

His heart was rippling with that silence.

"Felix, you don't know - these past few years abroad, I..." At this point, tears fell from Janie's eyes again.

Janie admired her own acting skills.

All these years, except for being scammed by her first boyfriend abroad, her life had actually been quite good. When the old lady of the Jones family was alive, she felt sorry for her niece and would send her ten or twenty million every year.

How could the mother and daughter possibly spend ten or twenty million?

Actually, the two had bought a lot of property and storefronts in the country.

The two had always lived as upper-class people.

However, at this moment, when Janie received the million from Felix, she was still delighted inside.

Who complains about having too much money?

Who knows, maybe her daughter could latch onto Alexander's colleague, and she, Janie, could latch onto Felix too.

The more she thought about it, the more she wanted to scream with joy.

"If you have time, could I invite you and your wife, along with the whole Jones family, to get together?"

"Sure! Our two families should get together." Felix immediately agreed.

He couldn't ask for more - his heart was blooming with joy!

Then he patted his chest and promised: "When the time comes, I'll make Elizabeth apologize to you in public. If she doesn't apologize, I'll break her legs!"
