Landon shook his head firmly. “No.”
Abel’s brow furrowed deeply, “Tell Adam he needs to turn Zahn in. If he doesn’t, he’ll be facing a lawsuit.”
“I already informed him,” Landon said, feeling exasperated. “But Adam doesn’t listen. He believes you can ensure his son’s safety.”
“I’m not here to guarantee Zahn’s safety,” Abel snapped coldly. “He needs to learn a lesson.”
“But…” Landon hesitated, choosing his words carefully. “This afternoon, Adam and his wife caused a scene at the company, making offensive remarks.”
“What were the security guards doing?” Abel’s expression darkened.
“Because he’s your elder brother, the guards hesitated to intervene,” Landon explained. “I called 911, and they had to step in. I arranged for them to stay at a hotel, providing good food and drinks. That calmed things down. Adam said-”
“What did he say?” Abel’s eyes narrowed.
Landon hesitated before responding. “If you don’t show up, he’ll cause trouble at Altney Steel and your home.”
*D*mn it!” Abel slammed his fist onto the sofa. “I haven’t even held them accountable yet!”
“The car was taken by Zahn using a key he secretly got hold of. We shouldn’t be held responsible,” Landon pointed out. “But the real issue now is that Zahn, unlicensed, has fled. Both the police and the injured party are looking for us!”
“What’s the condition of the injured party now?” Abel exhaled a puff of smoke.
“I visited the hospital this afternoon.” Landon rubbed his brow. “The other party has a fractured pelvis and organ rupture. The initial surgery cost around $30,000, which I’ve already paid, or else…”
“I know,” Abel acknowledged. “Otherwise, Emma will be summoned.”
“Yes,” Landon confirmed. “Now both the injured party and the police have my contact number. I’m afraid they might call Emma.”
Abel’s expression changed abruptly, and he frowned as he dialed Brandon’s phone. “Who’s at the hospital?”
“The nurse and I are here,” Brandon responded. “What’s the matter?” As he spoke, he opened the door to the hospital room and stepped into the corridor.
“Emma’s phone,” Abel instructed. “Forward all incoming calls to my number.”
