Transmigrated as the Villain Boss's Precious Darling Chapter 328: Smuggled Goods

Tang Xiaonan’s eyes lit up at once. ’The tycoon really is a business prodigy! He’s already thought of sourcing goods from the south.’ She rembered that in the book, Adrian Hawthorne had made his fortune by reselling black market goods he got from the south. At first, it was just small things like fashion and electronics. Later, he grew bolder and even dealt in contraband like cars and gasoline, making a massive fortune. Even the author didn’t know the full extent of his wealth.

The author only ntioned that Adrian Hawthorne’s wealth was a great mystery, all of it stashed in a Silvanan Bank. Although Clayton Xavier and Jacqueline Spann made it onto the Forbes list, their combined wealth as a couple couldn’t compare to Adrian Hawthorne’s alone.

But besides being ntally unstable, Adrian Hawthorne was also in poor health, so he acted recklessly without any regard for the consequences. In the end, he went to Umbara and got himself killed. Who knows who ended up with all that money.

"Mr. Hawthorne, can I go with you?" Tang Xiaonan volunteered. ’I know my way around the south!’

"No, you can’t."

Adrian Hawthorne refused flatly, without a hint of rcy. Tang Xiaonan pouted sullenly. ’I wish I could turn sixteen in a flash. Then I could run off on my own.’

"I’ll bring you back a doll and so pretty clothes," Adrian Hawthorne said, trying to console her.

"I don’t want them! I just want to make money."

Tang Xiaonan clung to Adrian Hawthorne’s arm, whining cutely. She had to buy the market stall before Jacqueline Spann did and steal all of her thunder. ’This is the first ti I’ve ever been so disgusted by soone.’

Worn down by her pestering, Adrian Hawthorne had no choice but to promise he would take her to the city to sell things in the future. That finally made Tang Xiaonan happy. She grinned from ear to ear, revealing the smaller gap where her two top front teeth were sprouting like tiny grains of rice. Her bottom front teeth had been itchy lately, too; they would be coming in soon.

"My youngest uncle is busy with sothing important. He’ll be free in a few days. Once he’s done, I’ll have him co find you." Tang Xiaonan put on a solemn expression. Adrian Hawthorne couldn’t resist pinching her round cheek again. The more he looked at her, the more he thought ’Chubby Tang’ was just a silly little girl.

"What’s Youngest Uncle busy with? How co I don’t know?" Jim Thorne looked bewildered.

"It’s nothing. Just eat your at, Third Brother."

Tang Xiaonan patted Jim Thorne, and the carefree boy went right back to eating. She leaned close to Adrian Hawthorne’s ear and whispered, "My youngest uncle is trying to catch Phoenix Golding in the act of cheating. We should have results in a few days."

Adrian Hawthorne was stunned. He had thought of a million possibilities, but he never imagined Goldie Thorne would be busy with such a major affair. ’Besides, does this little girl, Chubby Tang, even know what "catching a cheater" ans?’

"Catch her with who?"

"Mr. Xavier’s father. Mr. Hawthorne, let tell you sothing huge I just discovered. Ulysses Spann looks exactly like Mr. Xavier’s father. Their eyes, nose, and mouth are identical."

No matter how well Adrian Hawthorne usually concealed his emotions, his expression changed in shock at this revelation. ’Ulysses Spann is the illegitimate son of Phoenix Golding and Storm Xavier?’

’How is that possible?’

However, when he briefly recalled Ulysses Spann’s features and compared them to Storm Xavier’s, he realized Tang Xiaonan wasn’t lying. The two of them really did look quite similar. It was just that no one had ever made the connection before. Now that he thought about it carefully, the resemblance was uncanny.

"What did Phoenix Golding do to your family?" Adrian Hawthorne asked directly.

’Byron Thorne is a cautious man. He would never have agreed to let Goldie Thorne deal with Phoenix Golding unless she had truly infuriated him. She must have done sothing terrible.’

Tang Xiaonan silently gave him a thumbs-up. ’The tycoon’s intelligence is really on another level.’ She didn’t hide anything and told him about how Phoenix Golding and her daughter had intentionally introduced them to "Auntie Liu the Immortal." Adrian Hawthorne’s brow furrowed. Harming soone’s chances of having children was an exceptionally vicious act. No wonder even a man as careful and prudent as Byron Thorne had been provoked.
