Silvia had her people gather all the dirt on the Tao Le family, not just their shady business dealings but also their personal lives. Each piece of dirt could cause a huge scandal online and with the authorities investigating their company, things were getting serious. Their stock prices were plummeting, and it was nerve-wracking.
"If we had known, we should have done this earlier. They've caused us so much trouble. If we don't reflect on this, they'll think we're easy targets. Little sis, don't worry, I've got your back this time. And there are my own issues too. Can you help me with those? I can't even go out now without everything I do being blown out of proportion. I don't mind, but it's getting annoying, especially for the captain and our third brother. Look at his situation, it's pretty bad. I wanted to visit him, but with our current situation, I'm too scared to go anywhere. I've been cooped up at home going crazy these past few days."
Balk had been stuck at home for the past few weeks, unused to being idle. Though he had written some new songs, he felt restless. He needed to sort things out, starting with the family issues.
"Don't worry about it. We're at the final stage. The authorities are already investigating their family. If they don't want to go down, they'll have to apologize to us. Otherwise, it's over for them."
Silvia was ready for them to come and apologize, and they had no choice but to come.
But when the apology came, it was clearly forced. They sent their father to handle it, while they watched from upstairs, feeling vindicated.
"Last time, this guy met with the boss and hinted not to mess with our girl. Now, he's here to apologize. Look at how ashamed he looks. Dad must be thrilled."
Balk chuckled as he watched his father maintain a serious demeanor despite his obvious happiness. It was amusing how he had to pretend to be serious even though he was pleased.
