Chapter 2136 Waylon squinted and nodded after a while. “I’ll remind her to be more careful.” The next day, Joaqin learned that Florence had died in an accident, and his face turned pale instantly.
He was stunned on the bed and was unable to speak for a long time.
Sunny patted him on the shoulder. “My condolences.”
Joaqin could not hide his grief, and his expression looked gloomy. “I didn‘t expect my connivance would kill my daughter eventually.”
‘If I were to be able to find out about Manuel‘s ambition sooner, I‘d definitely drive him away at all costs.‘
Unfortunately, no one in the world would be blessed with so many “ifs” in their lives.
Mateo appeared outside the ward at this time. “Boss.”
He took a glance at Sunny, walked into the ward, and knelt beside the hospital bed all of a sudden. Joaqin wanted to get out of bed to support him, but his legs were still not fully recovered, so getting out of bed was simply out of the question. “What are you doing?”
“Boss, I‘m to blame for this incident. I didn‘t keep a closer eye on the young lady, so please punish me.” Mateo would not get up from the floor.
If it were not for his negligence, Manuel would not have been able to take Florence away at all.
He had not realized what had happened until he found out that Florence was missing–that was when he took someone and chased after her, but it was already too late.
Joaqin took a deep breath. “It‘s not your fault. Now, get up.”
Mateo gnashed his teeth and stood up. “Boss, I‘ve told all our brothers about this incident, and they claimed that they‘re still willing to stay with you and work for you. So from now on, I‘m willing to lead The Serpents and listen to the Southern Clan and your orders.”
Joaqin did not expect Mateo would still be willing to work under him—the trust that he had had in him over the years did not go down the drain. He smiled. “I‘m relieved to hear such a statement from you.”
He then looked at Sunny. “Mr. Southern Sr., you‘re the one who saved my life. I‘m sorry to have offended you on so many occasions in the past. If I hadn‘t been so obsessed with things back then, how would I have neglected the management of The Serpents?”
