As Jasper started the meeting, a top-secret message was delivered to Fabian in Harbor City through a special channel.
Fabian, who was about to rest, saw the news and jumped out of bed.
On the bed, Fabian’s new partner propped up her fair and tender upper body and said in dissatisfaction, “Mr. Atticus, what are you doing? Go to bed, I’m so sleepy.”
“Sleep? You can sleep in hell, you stupid b*tch!”
Suppressing the shock and excitement in his heart, Fabian lifted the quilt, put on his pajamas, took out a stack of money from the bedside table before throwing it at the woman. “Get dressed and f*ck off.”
The woman was extremely dissatisfied inside, but she still put on her clothes quickly for the sake of the stack of money. Then, she dared not say a word and left.
At this time, Fabian had already arrived in the study. He paced back and forth in place as he dialed a number. It took a long time for this call to be connected.
“Is it true?” Fabian asked directly.
On the other side of the phone, there was a calm voice. “You called me just to make sure I would not joke with you about such a big thing? Do you know that I was almost exposed because of your phone call?”
Fabian answered nonchalantly, “If this news is true, it’ll be worth it even if you get exposed right now.”
The person on the other end of the phone snorted and said, “I also just got the news. It’s definitely not fake. You should implement the countermeasures as soon as possible.”
After speaking, the person on the other end immediately hung up the phone.
***
After a while, the door to the meeting room was opened again. Dean wiped his hands and walked back. Jasper, who was talking, looked at Dean with a smile and asked, “Are you done?”
Dean apologized, “I‘m sorry, I’ve been having a stomachache over these past two days. I will try not to disturb the meeting.”
