It was rude and inappropriate behavior for a driver to interrupt while their employer was conversing with their guest.
It seemed a bit instigating.
"Are you doubting me?" asked Wilbur coldly.
Jean hurriedly said, "Santino, watch your tone."
"Sir, I only wanted to remind Mister Penn that some things can't be resolved with brute force," Santino replied.
Wilbur smirked and asked, "Oh yeah? Maybe it's because you're not skilled enough."
Santino felt insulted. He glanced at him through the rearview mirror but did not say anything further.
Jean said, "Mister Penn, Santino worked for my father since he was a young man. He's very close to my father. He's just being overly worried. Please don't mind him."
"I understand how he feels, but he needs to remember that he has no right to doubt my capabilities," said Wilbur nonchalantly.
Santino did not say anything, but it was apparent that he did not buy it.
Jean frowned and said, "Sir, we're still dealing with my brothers at the end of the day. I hope we can resolve things peacefully."
It seemed like Jean did not want his siblings to fight.
"That's nice of you, but has it ever occurred to you that your brothers may be the ones who plotted against your father? Do you think they care about your familial ties?" asked Wilbur slowly.
Jean was no fool, so he had a feeling that he was in extreme danger after his father fell sick.
However, his brothers were too busy fighting each other to go after him.
Moreover, he did not care to fight for succession rights. That was why he was safe for the moment.
He wondered what his brothers would do to him once they were done fighting. That was why he used the family heirloom in exchange for Wilbur's help.
Apart from investigating the cause of his father's illness and resolving the family conflict, he also wanted to save himself.
He let out a long sigh after he heard what Wilbur said, replying, "I know, but I don't want my brothers to kill each other. I'm afraid I'll never find peace for the rest of my life if that happens."
"Let's get this over with, then. I promise you I won't take their lives," said Wilbur.
