Simon stiffened and stopped leaving. He looked at Bryson in panic.
"Uncle ... anything else?"
"How did you know Lance?" Bryson asked.
Simon knew that when Lance secretly came to the Peace City, Bryson still had a conflict with Lance and wanted to find him. It was then that Simon met Lance. Lance was extremely hungry and Simon invited him to dinner.
If Bryson knew that Simon once hindered him, he would definitely be angry.
So Simon lied. He said, "Well, I met him just now. They caught me and I told them I was your nephew. Then they let go of me."
"Is that all?"
"Sure." Simon felt guilty and he didn't dare to look Bryson in the eye.
But Bryson knew that he was lying. Simon would keep looking around whenever he lied, which evidently indicated that he felt guilty.
At that moment, Simon's phone rang.
Simon was excited as the call was from his mother.
He never found receiving his mother's call so exciting before.
Simon answered the call immediately to prevent Bryson from questioning him.
"Hi, mom!"
Before his mother finished speaking, Simon continued to say, "Mom, I'm with uncle. I'll go home right now and arrive in half an hour."
Then he hung up the phone.
He turned to Bryson and said, "Uncle, my mom urges me to go home. She is worried about me. I tell her that I'll arrive home in half an hour. I have to go now."
Knowing that Simon was eager to leave, Bryson felt impatient and waved at him. "OK."
"Goodbye." Simon heaved a sigh of relief.
Then he quickly went out of Bryson's office without hesitation.
When Simon left, Bryson's face clouded over.
He believed that Simon met Lance before. Otherwise, Lance wouldn't let go of Simon. Though, he didn't care about how they knew each other.
Cooperating with Lance wouldn't cause any loss for the Cordova Group.
But Bryson clearly understood that Lance, who didn't rely on legal business, had another purpose.
Anyway, Bryson would stop him no matter what purposes he had.
Then Bryson's phone rang. He glanced at the screen. It was from his subordinate.
"Have you got him?"
The subordinate replied, "Yes."
"Send me the address. I'll arrive soon."
"Yes!"
