Chapter 30
Roman frowned and said, "I don't think this has anything to do with Kane. It's probably related to Isabelle Group's project!"
Everyone looked at Roman.
Roman explained, "Behind Isabelle Group is the Mercenary King. These people must be trying to get on the Mercenary King's good side."
"Right, it must be that!"
Evelyn refused to believe that Isabelle's ex-convict husband was someone with power and influence!
Otherwise, wouldn't she be inferior to him?
Frank frowned.
Just then, Roman took a phone call and said with a smile, "Grandpa, a friend from the financial world just called me. It's pretty much what I guessed."
"All the big shots in finance want to have dinner with the Mercenary King. Everything they're doing is probably to achieve that goal!"
Everyone was stunned.
Just to have dinner with the Mercenary King, those financial bigwigs were willing to put up so much money!
Even Warren Buffett's dinners don't cost this much!
"If that's the case, then I'm relieved!"
"They're just taking advantage of Isabelle Group's connection. Otherwise, they probably couldn't even get the project started!"
Everyone discussed among themselves.
Frank snorted coldly, "Don't think this means you can be above the Spencer family. This isn't over!"
Meanwhile.
Kane and the others finished their meal and drove home.
Marilyn and Jason had a few drinks and were already asleep in the back seat.
"Kane, were those people there for you?" Isabelle in the passenger seat asked with a frown.
Kane smiled, "How could I have that kind of influence?"
"Then why would they suddenly give me so much money?"
"They came for you!"
"Me?"
Isabelle looked incredulous.
Kane explained calmly, "To be precise, they came for the project you have. They want to get on Isabelle Group's good side!"
"Your project can help them build connections with Isabelle Group."
"Is that it?"
Isabelle frowned, somewhat doubtful, but there didn't seem to be a better explanation.
With the funding secured, the project began!
In the following days, Isabelle was busy with the project, working from dawn to dusk. She looked exhausted.
Kane felt sorry for her.
But he knew Isabelle was a strong-willed woman, so he could only take care of things at home.
Tomorrow, Winnie's school was holding a parent-teacher meeting, and Kane had promised to go with Winnie.
Early in the morning, Winnie dressed up beautifully, wearing a pretty princess dress, new shoes, and her hair in a ponytail.
She was extremely excited, running around the house like a butterfly.
"Winnie, why do you look so excited?" Kane asked with a smile.
Winnie stopped, looked up at Kane, and said seriously, "Because I have a dad now! Before, many people said I was someone without a father!"
"Those kids at school won't say that anymore!"
"Dad will always be by your side!"
Kane felt like his heart was being pricked by needles. He excitedly held Winnie tightly in his arms, his expression serious and sincere.
Marilyn pouted, somewhat dissatisfied, "Are you planning to stay in our house forever?"
As the project got on track, Marilyn felt that Kane, an ex-convict, was even less worthy of Isabelle.
In her mind, her son-in-law should at least be a rich second-generation heir worth hundreds of millions of dollars!
"Winnie, it's about time. Let's go!" Kane glanced at his watch and said calmly.
"Okay, okay!"
Winnie bounced excitedly.
Just as they were about to leave, Kane remembered that there was only one car at home, and Isabelle had already taken it. It was hard to get a taxi here.
"You guys should hurry and take the bus!" Marilyn said.
"Got it."
Kane responded.
He took out his phone and made a call.
"Mr. Lockwood, what can I do for you?" Bayonet answered quickly.
Kane said calmly, "Arrange a car for me. I need to take Winnie to school for the parent-teacher meeting! Keep it low-key, find the cheapest car."
"Yes, sir!"
Bayonet hung up.
A bus stopped at the bus stop.
"Dad, the bus is here!" Winnie reminded him.
"Wait, I just called for a car."
Kane smiled slightly and ruffled Winnie's hair.
Soon after, a custom Rolls-Royce worth tens of millions of dollars stopped in front of Kane.
This Rolls-Royce was made of special metal, bulletproof and explosion-proof. Even the president would ride in this kind of car.
Bayonet personally opened the car door.
Kane and Winnie got in the car.
The vehicle drove off slowly!
In the house, Marilyn shouted, "Honey, honey! Come quick!"
Jason hurried out of the bedroom, "Dear, what's wrong?"
Marilyn pointed out the window at the brand-new Rolls-Royce, "Look at that car!"
"A Rolls-Royce?"
"And it's a custom model!"
"Last time, the president traveled in this exact model. Which important person is this?"
Jason was a car enthusiast who knew cars inside and out. He recognized at a glance that this Rolls-Royce was extraordinary.
Marilyn was even more shocked, "I think I just saw Kane and Winnie get in the car."
"Are you kidding?"
"That car is worth tens of millions of dollars. How could Kane afford to ride in a car like that? You must have seen wrong."
Jason didn't believe it at all.
"Is that so?"
Marilyn thought about it carefully and figured she probably saw wrong.
She began to envy, "How wonderful it would be if my son-in-law rode in cars like this every day!"
But how could she know that this was Kane's cheapest car!
Soon, Kane and Winnie arrived at the school.
They were relatively late; quite a few children had already arrived.
As soon as the Rolls-Royce pulled up, it attracted many eyes!
"That's a Rolls-Royce!"
"It looks like a limited edition!"
"Whose parents are so impressive?"
"Anyway, it definitely can't be Winnie's. Her dad is a criminal!"
A curly-haired chubby kid sneered.
The others burst out laughing.
Just then, the car slowly stopped.
"You can rest now. I'll call you when the parent-teacher meeting is over!" Kane said calmly.
Bayonet said, "Yes, sir!"
Kane opened the car door, "My little princess, let's get out!"
Winnie nodded gently, took Kane's hand, and got out of the car.
At that moment, Winnie became the center of everyone's attention.
"It's Winnie!"
"How is this possible?"
The curly-haired chubby kid was stunned.
"Let's go."
Kane took Winnie's hand and walked into the school.
"Peter, am I seeing things? Is that Winnie from our class?" someone nearby asked, rubbing their eyes in shock.
The curly-haired chubby kid held his head, "It's her! Oh my god! How is she coming to school in a Rolls-Royce?"
