Reborn From Ashes novel Chapter 236

"You guys again?" David's expression soured immediately as he stared coldly at the Sterlings. The expression on his face was as if he was staring at his mortal enemy!

At that moment, the entire room fell silent, and the atmosphere felt oppressive. Everyone could tell that David was truly angry.

"Mr. Schnapp, this is all a misunderstanding!" Benjamin said. "We weren't thinking of taking the gem. We just wanted to help him keep it safe. After all, he's still very young!

"However, these people from the Sterling family kept getting in the way and were even trying to take it in his stead! He could've taken the gem and left, but the Sterlings wouldn't let him!"

He quickly made up an excuse to extricate himself from this mess. He was worried about having to pay a terrible price because of David's displeasure.

"No way! He's talking nonsense!" Francis panicked and shouted angrily. He couldn't help but look at Hayden.

He continued, "The truth is, I didn't do anything. I was just here to help Hayden out! However, Benjamin wouldn't let him leave. He even offered to pay him 10 million to sweep this matter under the rug!

"If you don't believe me, you can just ask him!" Francis pointed at Hayden, sounding a little impatient as his emotions went a little out of control.

The atmosphere in the room became rather tense. They were all waiting for David's verdict.

However, David ignored them and looked to Hayden instead. "What do you say?"

At that very moment, all eyes in the room were focused on Hayden. Everyone was waiting for him.

Hayden was caught off guard and looked at David in shock. He didn't expect himself to have gained David's favor.

Back then, at the birthday party, David took the initiative to help him. And now, David was helping him out once more! What was this man up to?

Hayden couldn't understand his intention. It seemed that David's appearance was to help him solve this matter.

He thought about it for some time and decided that he would once again ask for David's help. He looked at Benjamin and asked, "May I leave now?"
