Eight Kickass Uncle Sweet Spoil

Chapter 3 Eight Uncles Come for Suse

It all happened so fast, no one in the Bishop family had time to react.

As he hurried downstairs, Andrew didn’t see Ryan carrying Susie away. He did see Martin in the courtyard, about to get in his car and leave, so he hurried up to him immediately.

“Oh. Mr. Murray!” Andrew smiled, and his eyes crinkled with delight. “What brings you to our humble home? It’s such an honor to have you here!”

While Andrew spoke, his parents, Jay and Christine Bishop, stepped in with the Bishop family servants, who were all greeting Martin with warm smiles. The group of servants bowed deferentially toward Martin, and Jay and Christine bowed along with them.

Martin Murray was the head of the Murray family’s business empire, the steely-eyed, cold-hearted president of the Murray Group. Everyone in the city knew his name. The Murray family was one of the four major families that controlled Los Angeles, so of course everyone wanted to court their approval.

But the less prominent members of this extremely wealthy, widespread family were not as recognizable as Martin. For the most part, the Murray family stayed out of the public eye, and their identities were shrouded in mystery. Most outsiders only knew that the Murray family had eight sons, but few people had ever seen them in person.

Martin frequently appeared on the covers of business magazines and in news headlines, so the Bishop family was able to recognize him.

“Mr. Murray, please come inside! It’s so cold inside, you’ll be more comfortable sitting in the house,” Jay invited warmly

“Yes, yes, why don’t you come inside and have a cup of hot tea?” Andrew smiled, gesturing Martin toward the front door.

Faced with such a well-known figure, the Bishops were reduced to licking at Martin’s boot heel. In their current position, with the company failing, the Bishops were headed for bankruptcy. But with a single word from Martin, the Bishop family could be brought back to life! Maybe they could even rise to become one of the most powerful families in the city, like the Murrays…

Martin’s face was expressionless, but his eyes were sharp as he surveyed Andrew.

Was this Susie’s father?

In a cold, flat voice, Martin said, “Very good, Bishop family.”

Without bothering to say another word, he got in his car and left.

Christine said, “Was Mr. Murray saying that our Bishop family is very good? Was he praising us? Does that mean he’s going to help us?”

Jay frowned. “Mr. Murray didn’t look like he was praising us.”

Andrew called over one of the other servants to ask what had happened in the courtyard before he arrived.

Apparently, the entire Murray family had been here, and they had

picked up Susic and taken her away! A man in black even took off his coat and bundled Susie in his arms, claiming to be his uncle…

On hearing this. Andrew looked like he had seen a ghost as the realization hit him. Everyone knew the Murray family had eight sons and one daughter. But the daughter had been sick since she was a child, and she’d always been hidden from the public eye.

In a flash, Andrew understood that the woman he picked up four years ago was the cherished only daughter of the Murray family.
