Chapter 69 I’ll Take You Home

Ken clutched his face and looked at Jason in disbelief. It was the first time he had ever been hit. “Dad…”
“Im not your Dad! You’re no longer my son if you don’t apologize to Mr. Tate now!” Jason was firm.
He could tell that George had a soft spot for Milly. No wonder he had been waiting at the door without leaving.
If he couldn’t get Ken to give up, the Fitzgeralds might as well file for bankruptcy first thing in the morning.
However, Ken, who was in his rebellious stage, didn’t see it that way. Apologizing in front of the diva would make him die in embarrassment.
“I won’t do that!” He yelled and ran away.
“Get back here, brat!”
Jason tried to chase after him, but Ken was already out of sight.
At this point, George’s eyes had turned cold, his earlier good mood was completely gone.
He was in a good mood because Milly had said that she liked him. It was a melody to his ears regardless of
the truth.
Now, he felt furious as someone was eyeing her.
Jason wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, instinctively knowing that what was about to happen would be unbearable.
He had to save the Fitzgeralds. He couldn’t let his family’s legacy end in his hands.
Suppressing his fear, Jason pleaded with George. “Mr. Tate, it’s my fault for not raising that brat properly. Don’t worry, I’ll send him abroad tonight to a boarding school where he won’t get to come back these few years! He’ll never bother this young lady again.”
It was strange. Even though he was two decades older than George, he was utterly crushed by his presence.
George coldly raised an eyebrow. “These few years?”
Seeing George’s dissatisfaction, Jason quickly added, “Mr. George, it’s not an issue. During these years, I’l! expand our market abroad and keep him there. If he insists on coming back, I’ll hire bodyguards–no, special forces to follow him around. If he even thinks about approaching this young lady again, I’ll break his legs immediately, including his third one!”
The third leg too?
Milly was shocked at Jason’s will to keep his family business,
It worked! George’s expression improved significantly, and he nodded reluctantly. “Mhm.”
To Jason, it sounded like music from the heavens.

was cold but caring.
Milly slung her backpack over her shoulder and tried to walk past him. “No thanks. I’ll take a cab.”

Every time George spoke, she remembered those embarrassing statements she had made earlier. She wouldn’t hold back and choke him to death if they stayed together.
She hadn’t even started college or won any acting awards yet. She didn’t want to go to jail before achieving those things.
Milly sighed in relief as George didn’t stop her.
She hadn’t walked far when she heard him say, “Mr. Fitzgerald, does this room have surveillance cameras? Please send me a copy of the footage.”
Jason immediately responded, “Yes, I’ll contact the securities right away.”
George didn’t seem to notice her anger, explaining as a matter–of–factly, “Are you kidding me? The Tates and the Fitzgeralds are business partners. Understanding each other’s operations and checking surveillance is a normal part of our cooperation. Right, Mr. Fitzgerald?”
Jason didn’t dare disagree. He said while nodding furiously, “Yes, exactly. You might not understand our business customs. Checking surveillance is a standard procedure before signing contracts.”
George glanced at her and urged Jason, “Mr. Fitzgerald, I’m on a tight schedule and have a video conference coming up. Please get the surveillance footage quickly.”
Since it was a free ride, why not enjoy it? It might be awkward, but it’s alright as long as I’m not feeling embarrassed.
