Chapter 465 Deal With Him

“Jared?” Ingrid asked tentatively as she grasped his elbow.

He merely smiled comfortingly. “Don’t worry. She really is William Sullivan’s daughter.”

Before Ingrid could register her shock, Josephine was already dialing her father’s number. “Dad,” she said the moment the call went through, “did you arrange for a Mr. Charleston to oversee the development over at Avenport?”

“I don’t know, it was handled by Leonard. Why do you ask?”

William had not been particularly active in company affairs of late as he was more concerned with rehabilitating his health. If it weren’t for Jared, he would have lost his life.

“That’s all right, Dad. I’ll give Uncle Lenny a call!” Without giving her father the chance to interrogate her further, Josephine ended the call.

At that moment, Larold grew pale as his superior was indeed Leonard Lopez.

Dog hastened to reassure Larold again. “Don’t worry, Mr. Charleston. She’s just a good actress.”

Larold no longer paid any attention to Dog. Instead, he gazed fearfully at Josephine as beads of perspiration began to appear on his forehead.

Josephine dialed another number. Several moments later, a cheery voice sounded from the other end. “Josephine, to what do I owe the pleasure?”

Leonard Lopez had been a loyal lieutenant to William ever since the latter had founded the company. William also trusted him enough to entrust the company to Leonard’s care when he was hospitalized.

Recognizing Leonard’s voice from the phone, Larold’s knees buckled.

“Mr. Charleston!” exclaimed Dog as he leaped forward to hold him up, still unaware of what was happening. “Are you ill?”

By that point, Larold was trembling so hard that his speech became incoherent.

“Uncle Lenny,” asked Josephine. “Did you entrust the overseeing of the development of Avenport to a Mr. Charleston?”

“That’s right, why do you ask?”
