Very quickly, everyone arrived at Happy Living restaurant and Flynn arranged for a meal. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
When Jack arrived, Alex introduced them to each other and they began eating and drinking.
After several drinks, Alex took out his mobile phone and retrieved the photo of the two female juvenile delinquents which he showed to Jack, asking, “Do you know these two people?”
As soon as Jack saw the photo, there was a look of surprise on his face. Looking at Alex, he felt a little nervous as he replied, “Mr. Jefferson, these are my daughters. If they offended you by mistake…”
“I knew they have to be your kids. They have your eyes.”
Alex took back his phone, put a piece of fish into his mouth and spoke, “They did not offend me but I thought that they might be your daughters and so I gave them a lecture. I’m not sure if the lesson I taught would help them in the future.”
“Thank you, Mr. Jefferson! Sigh…”
Jack sighed, saying, “After I divorced their mother, they haven’t been living with me but with their mother. These few years, I’ve been so focused on running my company that I’ve neglected these two girls.”
Alex nodded and replied, “At this age, they are very rebellious. Furthermore, you are divorced and that will affect their mental development. I doubt your ex can control them. Let me give you an idea. Give your ex a sum of money so she’ll let you raise the children.”
Jack smiled sadly. “My ex is willing but the girls do not want to live with me. There is nothing I can do. We cannot hit children either.”
Alex shrugged his shoulders. “Fine. I’ll leave it up to you. However, Jack, I must let you know that these twin girls of yours will really get into serious trouble if no one intervenes and if they are allowed to carry on living the way they are doing now.”
Jack nodded his head and said, “Thanks, Mr. Jefferson. I’ll see them tomorrow and talk over this seriously. No matter what, they must not be allowed to do as they wish.”
As a matter of fact, even if Alex did not say much, he would already know that something had to be done just by looking at the photo that Alex had taken.
“Come, drink with me.” Alex raised his glass and clinked with some of the others.
Flynn and the others also raised their glasses to Alex.
Putting down the glass, Jack suddenly said, “By the way, Mr. Jefferson, I have found out what you want. It is indeed Jerome’s man. I have broken his legs, but he has not been handed over to the police yet.”
Alex nodded his head as this was as he had expected. He took out a cigarette, lit it and asked, “Is Jerome well connected through his company?”
Jack nodded quickly, “Yes, Jerome’s uncle is a minor shareholder but he was the one who broke one of Jerome’s legs.”
“What type of character is he?” Alex asked.
Jack thought for a moment before replying, “He’s a good man with just average intelligence but he was one of the founders of the company so I gave him five percent shares.”
Alex took a puff from his cigarette and said, “Since he is a veteran, then we’ll show him some respect. Make Jerome apologize to the whole network, clarify this matter, and fire him from the company.”
Jack nodded in agreement for this was exactly what he wanted.
Chapter 158
After all, he was on good terms with Jerome’s uncle who had shown loyalty by personally breaking one of Jerome’s legs.
If they had really sent Jerome to prison, they would hurt the old man’s feelings.
At this moment, Alex’s phone rang.
Alex looked and saw that the call was from Charlie’s phone.
The instant the phone was connected, a cold distant voice spoke before Alex could say anything. “If you want to see Charlie alive, come to Western Gardens Manor. I believe you are smart and you know who I am. I’ll give you one hour. If you come later than that, you can come to collect his corpse.”
