Chapter 51
Simon put his phone on the table and tapped play.
Brandon’s sobbing voice came from the phone.
“Leave? I can’t leave my home. My family is here, and I’m not going anywhere. Even if Ethan Rivers destroys North Hill City, I won’t leave. No matter what the city becomes, this will always be my home.”
When the recording ended, some in the meeting had started to tear up.
“Sigh. An entrepreneur like him is rare.”
“We need more people like him.”
“One should not forget their roots. He really taught the other businesses a valuable lesson.
“It’s the city’s honor to have someone like him.”
Someone said to Simon “Can I have the recording? I will send it to the media and tell them to praise this man.
Simon nodded. “Sure. It’s because of them and many others that the city could recover in such a short time. Stephen has also done a good deed by finding them.”
Everyone applauded and cheered that the city had overcome the crisis.
“They have done well.”
“Without them, the city might still be in turmoil.”
“They have done the city a good deed and must be rewarded.”
Then, someone said, “We must reward them and punish Ethan Rivers for his wicked deeds. His despicable actions must be unveiled and made known to everyone in the country.”
“You’re right. Locking him up is not enough. People should know know how wicked he is.”
Simon was happy listening to the comments. He wanted exactly that so that he could crush Ethan.
Once Ethan made the headlines, the man’s life would be over, and it would be impossible for him to make a comeback anymore. As the public enemy of the country, people would have no respect for him.
Someone then said to Simon, “You have a good son, Simon.”
“The Quinns are lucky to have him.”

“Is your son married?”
Simon was thrilled. Not only did he solve the matter with Ethan, but the others also praised his son for his capabilities. He could not stop smiling.
After the meeting, some of them went to the media while Simon gave Stephen a call.
“Stephen, you did great this time. By tomorrow, the reporters will be asking you for an interview. You should get prepared.“.
Stephen was delighted to hear that reporters would be interviewing him tomorrow. If the news was from his father, the interview might be broadcast across the country.
“And tell Shawn, Eric, and Brandon to prepare as well. They will be interviewed as well.”
Stephen said, “Don’t worry. I’ll inform them.”
After the brief call, he called Shawn immediately.
