The Indifferent Ex-Husband: Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate novel Chapter 522

The folks down there were spooked by Jerry’s commanding presence and didn’t dare to hesitate any longer; they quickly turned back around and got cracking.

Sophia, in a panic, turned to Tomas, "Who's the boss here, you or him?"

Tomas shot her a look, clearly in a bind, "Chairman Crawley wants us to kick off work tonight; I can't just go against that."

She didn't expect Daniel to be the one pushing for it.

"You can't defy Chairman Crawley's orders, but you think it's fine to blow off Mr. Crawley's?" Sophia snapped, "The man calling the shots at the company right now is Mr. Crawley, not Chairman Crawley."

"Whether it’s Mr. Crawley or Chairman Crawley, as long as the job gets done well, who cares what time they punched in."

Jerry said this as he turned towards the workers who were still hesitating, "What are you waiting for? Get a move on, the auspicious time is almost upon us."

After saying that, he plunged into the storm, barking orders and getting everybody into their places, his megaphone now dangling by his side.

Sophia glanced at the megaphone hanging by his side and then dived into the storm herself, dashing towards Jerry. She caught him off guard, snatched the megaphone, and then shouted to everyone who was bustling about, "I'm Brandon's wife, and I'm standing in for him when I say, the weather tonight is not fit for work; I want everyone to stop the construction immediately!"

As she spoke, she lifted her phone, "I've got our marriage certificate to prove it."

The bustling crowd paused once again, exchanging looks, when suddenly an old man's angry voice erupted at the stairs, "Don't listen to her spouting nonsense. She's not my daughter-in-law."

Sophia turned towards the voice. Daniel was making his way up to the platform, shielded by umbrellas held by a couple of people.

He didn’t even glance at Sophia, his gaze already moving past her to Tomas and Jerry, "What are you waiting for? Get ready, do you want to be responsible for any delay?"

The pause in activity was over, and everyone got back to their busy work with renewed vigor.
