No 1 Supreme Warrior novel Chapter 51

"This..."

William was surprised to see everyone from the O'Brien’s and Perry’s looking profusely apologetic. He had no idea what was going on.

Rebecca and Caroline were also kneeling on the ground in stupefaction; this outcome was the complete opposite from what they had imagined.

They wondered, “These guys were supposed to come and make trouble for us. Why are they apologizing now?"

But Leo was drinking coffee leisurely and looking at the scene with a calm smile.

Neil and Frank remained kneeling on the ground for a solid two minutes, then they said to William earnestly, "Mr. Ford, this is all a misunderstanding. We're sorry for what happened these days."

"I had a small disagreement with Mr. Cohen a few days ago. I censored myself after the incident and thought that this matter would go away just like that. I didn't know that my useless son would hold a grudge and contact his lawyer to issue a court order behind my back. It must have caused you a lot of trouble... You idiot, get your ass over here!"

As he spoke, Neil grabbed Dwayne's ear and pulled him over rudely.

He kicked his son's butt and pushed him over to William as he said with a gloomy face, "Hurry up, apologize to Mr. Ford!"

Despite his reluctance, Dwayne got down on his knees and said, "Mr. Ford, I'm sorry."

He then turned to Rebecca and Caroline and apologized again. "Caroline, Ms. Ford, I'm sorry."

Dwayne duly apologized to all the family members, one by one, to show his sincerity.

For their part, the Ford family were stunned and could not believe that Dwayne would apologize to them.

Neil cast another angry glare at his son, then said to William amiably, "Mr. Ford, we've withdrawn the compensation claim application from the court. We’ll also pay another 2 million dollars as a token of our goodwill. Please... forgive us."

Shortly, several people showed up, each carrying a suitcase. Once they opened the cases, stacks of green notes were revealed.

Caroline, Rebecca, Samuel, and Marla stood there dumbfounded like blockheads as they had never seen so much cash in their lives.

Neil's expression turned uncomfortable again. "And, I have a small favor to ask of you... What happened was a mistake. We can't allow it to sabotage both our friendship and the relationship between Caroline and Dwayne..."

Before William could respond, Rebecca immediately agreed. "Of course, of course! Caroline is still smitten with Dwayne, you know!"

"I will," Caroline said with a sweet smile.

Leo remained calm throughout the pantomime, but Nadine standing behind him bore a look of disgust.

She thought, "What a group of idiots! How could they behave like that over 2 million? If they knew how much money Mr. Cohen has, they’d pass out in shock from it."

As a matter of fact, Nadine also had no idea how wealthy Leo was, because he did not need to spend money on anything lately. With just single nod from him, big shots from all over would rush to pay his bills, merely to impress him.

Alan Russell was the wealthiest man in Emerdale, but his wealth ranked the lowest in the Kingston Chamber of Commerce. People a lot richer than Alan were ruled over by Commerce Maestro, who then took orders from Mr. Cohen in turn...

The O'Brien family left after making their apologies, shortly followed by the Perry family.

Frank stepped forward and apologized to William with a sincere look on his face, "Mr. Ford, I've been tossing and turning in bed yesterday. My head is full of stupid things that I've done lately. I'm embarrassed beyond words..."

All the people there looked weird and Leo almost choked due to the big laugh.

It was fine for a polite and cultured man to speak like a book, but Frank was totally different.

He was a street thug and gang boss. It felt so strange to hear him speak in this way, and it wasn’t hard to guess that he spent all night memorizing his lines for this moment.

It was evidently a tough task for him.
