Chapter 162 Twisting Lies Into The Truth
“Understood, Mr. Goldstein!”
Only then did Harrison abruptly remember that he forgot about Randall.
Hearing that, he fished out his phone and rang Randall up.
A brief moment later, Randall’s voice drifted out from the phone. “Hello?”
“It’s me, Harrison Seymour, Mr. Swindell!”
“Oh, I see. Is anything the matter, Harrison?” Although Randall was a touch surprised, his tone was still rather amiable. After all, he had personally witnessed Jonathan handing all the businesses of the Blackwood family to Harrison back at the Blackwood residence then.
While he was still uncertain about the relationship between them, it didn’t affect his attitude toward Harrison in the least.
“There’s a bit of a problem with the ecological park project on my end. I hope you can lend me a hand, Mr. Swindell!” When it came to Randall, Harrison’s voice was clearly not as casual as when he spoke to Matteo earlier.
After all, the man was the mayor of Jadeborough. As such, he had to show him due respect.
“There’s a problem with the ecological park project? What exactly happened?” Randall sounded noticeably startled.
“It’s difficult to explain in words, so you should come over and have a look instead.” Harrison wasn’t in the mood to speak at length, so he airily added, “Oh yes, Mr. Goldstein is here, too!”
“Mr. Goldstein is also there?” Randall’s tone instantly turned solemn.
“I handed the ecological park project to the Smith family some time ago,” Harrison announced as a hint to Randall. Considering the relationship between Mr. Goldstein and the Smith family, he can’t possibly fail to grasp my meaning.
“I’ll be there right away!” Randall promptly replied, not daring to tarry when he heard that Jonathan was there as well.
Ultimately, there was nothing more critical in Jadeborough than a matter involving Jonathan.
“He’s coming over immediately, Mr. Goldstein!” Harrison said to Jonathan after hanging up the phone.
“Got it.” Nodding, Jonathan murmured, “Then, let’s wait for him to come before doing anything reckless.”
“Understood, Mr. Goldstein!” Harrison put away the metal pipe in his hand at once. Then, he turned to his lackeys behind him and ordered, “Put away the weapons in your hands. If they insist on arresting you, just play along with them.”
In other words, he gave up resisting altogether. His lackeys likewise threw the metal pipes and steel rods in their hands away without an ounce of hesitation following his command.
They, too, didn’t resist in the slightest.
Meanwhile, Austin’s expression contorted into a mask of rage and turned as black as thunder at the sight of the scene unfolding before his eyes.
Is Randall really going to come? And does this Jonathan fellow truly have some kind of relationship with him? That’s impossible! He bore his eyes into Jonathan. Why didn’t I hear anything about the Smith family having something to do with the mayor before I came over?
“Should we still arrest them, Captain?” one of the police officers turned to him and questioned when they saw that Harrison had given up resisting.
In response, Austin shot daggers at them and barked, “How stupid are you to ask such a question? Why on earth would you do that when Mr. Swindell is going to be here anytime?”
His bellow frightened that police officer so much that he didn’t dare utter a single word in return.
