Female Novel
Chapter 1153
Terrell threw Freddy an inappreciative glance before snapping coldly, “Freddy Wood, the Wood family
has been dominating the dock of Southernshire for many years. I bet you've gained more than enough
throughout these years. Don't you think you should at least let the others earn a living too? About
ninety percent of more than one hundred ships of various sizes in Southernshire are in the Wood
family's possession. Have you ever thought whether you'll live long enough to spend the money earned
all this while?”
In an instant, Freddy's face fell. It never occurred to him that Terrell would be so impolite toward him.
After all, he was still the latter's elder.
Wearing a look of grimness, Freddy tried to stifle the burning rage surging from within him by all
means. “Terrell, the Wood family and the Duncan family are—"
“Stop that! My family has nothing to do with yours. Mark my words! I'm here today to acquire the Wood
family. If you hand over all the Wood family's property to me willingly, I might consider sparing your life.”
Before Freddy could finish his words, Terrell waved his hand and cut him off. With that, he had burned
all bridges with the former.
Subsequently, Freddy's frown deepened into a scowl. Even so, he tried to negotiate with Terrell. “Let
me put it this way. How about I hand over eighty percent of my family's business at the dock to the
Duncan family? You can have all those ships too. I'm more than happy if you can grant my wish to keep
two cruise ships.”
Terrell's face turned somber instantaneously. “Don’t you understand my words? I want all the property
in the Wood family's possession!”
Freddy blew a fuse right away, widening his eyes. “Terrell Duncan, don't you think you’ve gone
overboard? Can't you just show some mercy on the Wood family? Throughout my years of prominence
in Southernshire, I've never thought of wiping out the Duncan family, have I? "
“Pfft! So what? Do you think you can stop me from going overboard? Or perhaps you'll only be willing
to hand over all your family's property after I annihilate everyone in the Wood family?” Terrell snorted
fearlessly, buoyed up by the three Senior Grandmasters behind him.
Gritting his teeth, Freddy bellowed, “That’s merely your wishful thinking! Don't ever think that you can
obtain the Wood family's property even after annihilating everyone in my family! You're not the only one
having someone backing you up. I can seek help from someone formidable too. By then, I’ll eradicate
the Duncan family!”
“Hahaha! You're too naive! Don't forget that the Wood family doesn't belong to you alone. After finishing
you off, someone else will surely hand over the Wood family's property to me willingly!” Terrell guffawed
and clapped his hands.novelbin
Shortly after, someone dressed in a suit and wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses like a gentleman
emerged. Surprisingly, he bore a resemblance to Freddy.
Catching sight of the man, Freddy was stunned. “Finley, why are you back?”
The man was none other than Finley Wood, Freddy's younger brother!
Freddy had successfully built his own career and later funded Finley’s education at the university. After
that, he even appointed the latter as the general manager of his branch company. He could not fathom
why his younger brother was suddenly back.
Nonetheless, Finley paid no heed to him and advanced toward Terrell before greeting the latter
respectfully, “Mr. Duncan.”
Gazing at him, Terrell cut the crap. “If I appoint you as the head of the Wood family now, do you have
any idea what you should do?”
“Of course! I'll hand over all the Wood family's property to the Duncan family. On top of that, we'll bow
to you and be your branch family!” Finley buttered Terrell up with a fawning smile.
“Freddy Wood, did you hear that? After you're gone forever, the Wood family will become our branch
family.” Terrell stared at Freddy triumphantly.
Irked by Finley's words, Freddy turned crimson with fury. “Finley, you sc*mbag! Were you aware of
what you'd mentioned?”
“Needless to say, I'm fully aware of that. After years of being the head of the Wood family, you even
possess greater fortune than some other prominent families in Jadeborough. But look at me. I'm only a
general manager receiving a fixed salary. Is that fair? I want to be the head of the family too, so I'll be
able to spend extravagantly and surrounded by gorgeous women!” Finley raised his head and lashed
out at Freddy.
