“Mr. Chance, I will look into this matter right away.” Glen glared at Devin and Benedict. “Starting from today, the two of you are dismissed. An investigation will be launched. If I discover that both of you were involved in corrupt activities, you will be severely punished!”
Thud!
Hearing that, Devin and Benedict collapsed to the ground in utter shock. All of our dirty deeds will be exposed if he launches an investigation. We won't be able to escape the punishment.
“Mr. Lowe, Mr. Chance, let us continue our conversation somewhere else,” Tommy suggested.
Earlier, he'd already ordered his men to prepare another room.
“All right.” Glen nodded in response before addressing the people who'd accompanied him there, “Why don't you return home first? I'll be back soon.”
After they left, Glen and Jared left the room. Before Tommy made his way outside, he swept a scornful gaze toward Devin, Benedict, and his family.
As the Chance family looked at Jared's back, retreating into the distance, they were filled with an overwhelming sense of regret.
This horrible situation wouldn't have happened if we didn't treat Jared with such disrespect.
Nevertheless, it was too late to cry over spilled milk.
Jared did not linger at the restaurant for long. He merely exchanged a few words with Glen, who thanked him profusely. Glen also hoped that Jared would be merciful toward his son, Frederick.
Jared readily agreed to Glen's request. As long as Frederick leaves me alone, I will not go out of my way to bother him as well.
When Jared finally strolled out of the restaurant, he instantly caught sight of his parents hurrying over with panicked looks on their faces.
“Jared, are you all right?” Hannah asked
worriedly.
“Mom, I’m perfectly fine. Why are the two of you in such a hurry?” Jared replied in confusion.
“We were afraid that something might happen to you. Look, your dad and I managed to scrape together some money. Though I'm not sure if it's enough...” Hannah opened her bag to reveal its contents.
Inside, the bag was filled to the brim with stacks of money. These notes ranged from hundreds to spare change. Immediately, Jared could tell that there were almost twenty to thirty thousand in the bag.
