“Tomorrow, I’ll bring him in together with my men!” Jeff was grinding his teeth. He exclaimed coldly, “I would like to see if he has the balls to resist my arrest!”
“You should have done this earlier.” Steven was a little disgruntled.
Jeff shot him a glance. “These days, we have visitors from the foreign Chambers of Commerce. I’ve received strict instructions from the higher-ups to ensure that Paramount is in a safe and orderly state.”
“Of course, I’ve heard all about the Draco Chamber of Commerce.” As an accomplished businessman himself, Steven was well informed about the various business developments in Paramount state.
However, he was simply an ordinary member of the Paramount Chamber of Commerce. He would never be given an audience with President Willow from the Draco Chamber of Commerce, not even with her administrators.
The two continued on with a brief discussion before returning to the ward. They offered their injured sons and nephews with some words of comfort before leaving the hospital, one followed by another.
Soon after the two left, the door to the ward was gently pushed opened.
At the time, Darryl had just closed his eyes and was slowly slipping into his dreams. The sudden movement had him startled and so, he responded with his roar, “God damn it! Didn’t I say to leave me alone!?”
“Hmph! Kiddo, is that how you talk to your sister?” A cold voice rang through the room. Entering the room was a tall, young lady.
“Sis!?” Darryl’s face lit up and widened his eyes. “Didn’t you say that you’re only coming back next month?”
The long brow man who was lying next to Darryl gasped in awe.
So, this is the sister that Darryl always talks about. I was told that she’s a mercenary from outside the state. Hehe… she’s definitely a killer with those thick long legs.
Time slipped by without a word, and the day had begun anew.
Jacob left the compound with his car. Gerald was following behind him at a distance with his Land Rover.
They reached a small neighborhood entrance early in the morning. A few minutes later, Moira was seen leading Heidi toward the entrance while holding her dainty hands.
They dropped the kid off at the kindergarten. Jacob was going to bring the car and drive her to office, but before he could do that, Moira rejected his offer.
“Mr. Mooney, I have something to tell you.” Moira took out an envelope from her bag. “Thank you so much for the past few days, but you don’t have to come by this evening anymore.”
“What do you mean by that?” Jacob frowned.
She handed over the envelope to him. “Here’s a thousand bucks. Think of it as your compensation, but today will mark the last day of our contract.” RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Jacob’s voice tensed up when he saw the envelope. “If there’s any wrongdoing from my side, please tell me. I’ll be sure to change it!”
“Not at all. You’ve done a great job. Heidi is very pleased with you as well. It’s just that…” She was blinking uncomfortably. “I’ll stop talking in circles. My uncle managed to convince one of his relatives to look after Heidi, so…”
After a few moments of silence, Jacob nodded. “All right, I understand.” Soon as he finished, he turned around and walked away.
“Mr. Mooney, the money…” Moira was going to chase after him.
Jacob waved at her without turning his head. “Keep it. I have no use for that. Take that money and get Heidi something she likes.”
“This won’t do!” As she was speaking, the envelope was already being stuffed back into her bag.
Once he entered his car, Jacob started to look a little depressed. His mind was completely occupied by the innocent cute looks of his daughter from the past two days.
He was worried that he would never get another chance to see his daughter. When the thought crossed his mind, Jacob suddenly felt the urge to meet Naeve’s parents at the hospital.
“Boss!” Someone shouted at him with a deep voice from outside the car window.
