People stopped being curious about him after that. After all, no one would waste time inquiring about a nobody.
Hayden Zeller, a distant relative of the Black family who was from North Hampton, joined in on the conversation and said, “Oh I know what happened! Levi was sentenced to jail after he was convicted of taking advantage of his sister-in-law! If I’m not mistaken, he was only released a few days ago?”
“That’s right! It was one of the biggest news in North Hampton when it happened!” Some others, who were listening to the conversation, concurred.
Keane’s expression changed when he heard that, but still remained friendly as he asked, “So, Levi, you’re currently unemployed?”
Levi nodded and replied, “Kind of!”
After getting the man’s answer, Keane and Quintus had totally lost interest in continuing the conversation.
Even Zoey, who had just secured an investment of a few hundred million, suddenly seemed boring to them.
The men changed topics and carried on with their own conversations. Zoey hardly had anything to contribute to their subsequent discussions.
“Oh, by the way, is Russell back yet?” Keane asked all of a sudden.
Russell was his dad’s godson. The man had been outstanding since young, and he’s currently the leader of a subdivision of the Special Security Unit.
Word has it that he was going to be promoted to the Chief of the Special Security Unit next year.
“Speaking of Russell, he’s truly the pride and joy of our grandma!”
Quintus laughed.
That was indeed the case.
Even though Russell was not related to the Black family by blood, he was the elderly Mrs. Black’s favorite.
He had always been conscientiousness and performed well in every endeavor he partook in.
Russell would only be twenty eight next year, so it was an impressive feat that he was already the Deputy Chief of the Special Security Unit.
The Black family had an abundance of wealth, but what the family lacked however, was a talent like Russell.
He was the perfect missing piece to the puzzle for the Black family.
Shortly after his name was mentioned, Russell Black arrived at the gathering, still dressed in his uniform.
