Living With My Lady Boss by Blue Silver novel Chapter 424

Chester was in shock at the sight of Maniac's attitude as well. It was important to note that Maniac had hardly backed down even in Joel's face.

Just then, Wilbur said, "Ah, right, Maniac. Do you know this guy, Chester Yarl?"

"I do," Maniac said.

Wilbur smiled. "He asked me to pay him half a billion dollars just for him to talk to Joel. I said no, and he asked for ten million dollars in appearance fees. He even threatened to send me to prison if I turned him down. I'm a little scared."

Chester's expression shifted, and Maniac looked over at him with a murderous grin.

"Sir, this guy just has an uncle working in some low position for the city government. He's hardly powerful at all. Besides, Joel just lost his son. I don't think his uncle would be able to change his mind."

"So you're saying I'm not going to get my money's worth if I paid him?"

"No, I don't think so. His uncle can't even handle me, so do you think Joel would even give him the time of the day? Hilarious."

Those words made Chester flush an ugly shade of purple. However, he remained silent.

It seemed like Maniac was right then.

Wilbur chuckled. "Hear that, Chester? You don't have the right to be making just about anyone's money, got it?"

"I'm going to get going." Chester said nothing more after that as he turned to leave.

Maniac coldly called out from behind him, "If I catch wind of you trying to fiddle with this situation, I'm feeding you to the dogs."

Chester trembled all over, fleeing at once without any of the bravado and cockiness from earlier.

Walter got to his feet shakily. "Mister Penn, I really was just trying to help. I swear I didn't have any other intentions, I promise."

He was telling the truth. It was just that Wilbur already had Maniac on his side and was in the middle of taking down Joel. There was honestly no need for Walter to do what he had done.

It also seemed like Wilbur's plan not only involved saving Ethan, but also taking down Joel completely.
