Chief Heir Officer novel Chapter 148

On the top floor, in a room several hundred square meters wide, there was a huge electronic display screen.

George Thomas bent over from his waist and stood in front of the screen. His stature was respectful as he faced an old man sitting in a wheelchair; the man in the wheelchair had a breathing mask over his face.

“Old Master, Young Master is in trouble.”

George’s voice was trembling as he spoke.

On the screen, the old man merely raised his hand slightly and moved a few fingers. Only then was an old and weak voice heard, “Don’t be too ostentatious. Let Reed handle this matter.”

“Yes, Old Master,” George acknowledged respectfully. He paused for a moment before asking, “Old Master, do we need to let Young Master know about the matter with Miss Sommerset?”

A moment of silence ensued.

The old man sighed and replied, “That girl is simply too arrogant. Let Phil handle the matter on his own, cough, cough…”

The electronic screen turned off; George turned around with Julian and left.

Riverfront Province, Longman Villa district.

A man in his mid-forties that looked prominent could be seen wearing a grey Tang suit and playing chess with a man in his thirties that was in a military uniform.

In the vicinity, there were about a dozen men in military uniforms standing inside and outside the villa, guarding every entrance and exit with utmost vigilance.

At this moment, another man in uniform hurried over and whispered into the ear of the man in the Tang suit.

Crack!

The chess piece in his hand was crushed!

The man in the Tang suit said coldly, “What the hell is the Riverdale Law Enforcement Bureau doing? They’re randomly arresting people without thorough investigation. Call Deaton Wade and order him to release that person at once!”

He was absolutely furious!

The entire courtyard was instantly filled with battle-tested, murderous intent!

The man in uniform sitting across him asked, “General Williams, what happened?”

The man in the Tang suit snorted coldly, pointed at the man in uniform, and said, “The soldier you groomed has grown up to become a fine officer that is now used by others. Do you know who his men arrested?”

Reed Williams was very angry, and his whole body was brimming with fury.

Juan smiled wryly but did not insist. Instead, he went straight to the point, “Captain Fuller, in your opinion, how should we deal with the matter of my classmate?”

Brian looked at Juan with a smile and asked, “Mr. Parker, how do you wish to deal with it?”

Juan Parker was visiting him in the middle of the night with expensive gifts in hand.

He had to be up to something.

Juan smiled and said, “Captain Fuller, I know you’re worried about the school matters of your son. Recently, I saw a house with a balcony in the city center near the school district. I’ve already given the keys to your missus. Perhaps you should give her a call first?”

Brian was startled but soon frowned. With his eyes on Juan, he quickly called his wife, “Ada, did you receive keys from someone? Give them back at once!”

On the other end of the line, Ada Cox could be heard showing off to her girlfriends that she had just gotten a house in the city center near the school district. When she heard Brian’s words, she retorted, “Why should I give them back? They were given to me! I’m not returning them! You work overtime every day and hardly come home. How many days have you spent with your son? You never bother about his school matters, so why are you yelling at me now? If you’re so capable, why don’t you get a house in the school district instead?”

Slam!

The call disconnected.

Brian’s face was sullen as he stared at Juan. After a long while, he asked, “What do you want?”
