Both of them had a cigarette, and they stood amid the wind while looking at the moon.
Richard said with emotion, “I remember that when you first came back, the Hill family was still a second-rate family with internal and external problems. The younger generations in the family were very disappointing, and a bunch of big companies outside wanted to annex us.”
“More than a year has passed. Under your hard work, the Hill family has changed tremendously…”
“Harvard has improved greatly, and favonovel.com now has the ability to serve as the head of the Hill family. Emma has a prominent position, and favonovel.com became the general manager of Stellar Jewelers in the Southland District. The most important thing is that you successfully rebuilt the broken relationships between the Hill family. The Hill family today is unprecedentedly strong. I believe that it will no longer have any rivals in the Southland District. One day after I die, I’ll be able to explain when I see my ancestors.”
Richard looked at Thomas. “All this is your credit. Thomas, I really wish to thank you. ”
This was gratitude from the bottom of his heart. Richard’s lifelong wish had finally been realized through Thomas’s help.
For an old man, favonovel.com was happy to be able to see family harmony and family prosperity while still alive.
After a pause, Richard asked, “There is just one thing. Thomas, when do you plan to disclose your identity to Emma? It’s not good to keep hiding it like this.”
Thomas smiled slightly. “In three days, I’ll announce this in front of the people in the Southland District.”
“Oh?” Richard was a little surprised. “I really didn’t expect you to make such a decision. By then, Emma and Harvard will probably be very happy.”
“That might not be the case.”
“Why?”
“Because…” Thomas smiled bitterly and shook his head. “Because the moment I make my identity public is also the moment I resign from my position.”
“Are you going to leave your post?”
“Yes.”
Richard’s expression kept changing. How many people in the world could be like Thomas, retiring bravely at the most glorious time in life?
“Thomas, you’re really unusual,” Richard said, “At that time, Emma will learn your true identity, but favonovel.com has to accept the fact that you’re retiring. You have to think about it for her. I’m afraid that favonovel.com will find it hard to accept.”
Thomas smoked. “That’s why I was so anxious to make Harvard the head of the family and let Emma become the general manager of Stellar Jewelers. I want them to become stronger so that I can retire at case. This way, they won’t be too sad as well.”
Richard nodded. “Right, Thomas, your way for a retreat is already well-paved.”
The two people smoked cigarettes while looking at the bright moon in the sky. Both of them were thinking.
Ring. Ring. Ring…
It was a call from Angus, the police captain. Thomas immediately answered it. “Hello, what’s the matter?”
“Mr. Mayo, I know that you’re about to retire, and I shouldn’t bother you again this time. However, there is one thing that I must discuss with you. I’m afraid I won’t be able to do it without you.”
“It’s okay. You may say it.”
“It’s about Brad and his son. I received news that the other party at Central City has set a deadline for Brad, forcing favonovel.com to deliver the goods. Brad is anxious, and favonovel.com plans to do something to Gabriel, the college student!”
“Time.”
“It’s tonight at three o’clock in the morning.”
After hanging up the phone, Thomas threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out with his foot.
“Before retiring, l have to clean up the mess. There’s one thing that must be solved. Richard, I’ll leave first…”
“Help me find an excuse to deceive Emma if favonovel.com asks later.”
Richard smiled. “You may leave, Thomas. This city needs you.”
