Dauntless God Of War novel Chapter 55

“Of course. Let's just make do with five thousand as you suggested,” James responded nervously.

“Mrs. Xenos, you should leave now. If Mr. Smith comes to regret his decision, you'll most likely end up in jail.”

Realizing James had caved, Harold stepped forward and helped Mandy up before speaking softly to her.

Although Mandy had always treated him badly, that was all in the past.

He hoped that after this incident, the Xenos family would recognize his prominent identity and refrain from bothering him in the future.

“A-All right. Thank you very much, Mr. Smith. I'll leave now.”

Hearing their conversation, Mandy quickly bowed to James before hurriedly leaving the café without giving it much thought.

Still shuddering, she came to a halt a few hundred meters away from the café after fleeing.

If it had not been for Harold's assistance, she might have been arrested by the cops.

After all, she would never be able to get that much money on her own, even if she sold everything.

She never imagined that Harold's words alone could have such an impact. Even James could only listen to him obediently and accept her five thousand as an apology.

When she returned home, her frightened expression drew the attention of her family.

“Why do you look so ghastly, Mom?” Brittany inquired, perplexed, as soon as Mandy entered the room.

Richard and Gordon were both intrigued as well.

“Brittany, I have a question for you. Have you noticed anything unusual about Harold in the last few days at work?”

Instead of answering Brittany's question, Mandy asked her back.

“Why did you bring him up for no reason, Mom? What could be unusual about him? He's the same old good for nothing!”

She was even more surprised when she heard her mother mention Harold all of a sudden. Nonetheless, she responded truthfully.

Out of curiosity, Gordon and Richard both came over and waited for them to continue.

“That's impossible! I'm telling you, that man isn't as simple as he appears.”

Then, she told them about her earlier encounter passionately.

Still feeling terrified, she patted her chest and attempted to take a deep breath after finishing her story.

“Mom, is it possible that he tricked you? You mentioned that he had a part-time job as a waiter there, right?”

She could not believe that a remark from Harold could persuade James to give up his fifty million, so she asked her own question after hearing Mandy.

“She's right. That brat must have deceived you, Darling. Perhaps they conspired to trick you. Despite the fact that you were duped, you remain grateful to him. You're literally helping the scammer by counting the money he scammed from you!” Richard added with a darkened expression, feeling that something was wrong.

Surprised by Richard's statement, Mandy looked toward Gordon, only to see that Gordon was also nodding, indicating that he agreed with his sister and father.

“Now that you mention it, that could be the case. How dare that jerk attempt to con five thousand from me?”

After pondering about it for a moment, Mandy's expression became gloomy as she shouted, “No way! I can't let that b*stard get away with this. I'm going to find him and demand my money back!”

With that, she prepared to go out to look for Harold.

“What if he doesn't admit it, Mom? Everyone there will most likely side with him. In addition, you paid in cash. How are you going to get your money back if you don't have any proof?”
