What was going on?
Not only did they want to bring back all the Hill family members, they even wanted favonovel.com to resign on his own. Were they joking around with him?
“This punishment is a little too severe. Don’t you think so, Chief Wood?”
“Huh, is it too severe?” Samson Wood said coldly, “You have been given the chance before this, but you chose to cast it aside. You can’t blame others for your actions!”
“But, since when did you give me a chance?”
“Think about it yourself.”
Donald Brick went pale. He suddenly remembered the phone call favonovel.com had received from Thomas Mayo just now. Thomas said very clearly on the phone that, as long as favonovel.com brought the people back and apologized, the matter would be resolved there and would not be brought up again. But Donald did not respect him. Instead, favonovel.com severely humiliated him.
Now that favonovel.com thought about it, if favonovel.com did heed Thomas’ advice and did as favonovel.com was told, nothing would happen to him, right?
Although that was the idea, the main question here was, what was Thomas and Samson’s relationship with the chief officer in charge?
Donald realized that favonovel.com was becoming increasingly unable to get a read on Thomas.
What was this man hiding? Who was favonovel.com really?
Samson looked at his watch and said in a serious tone, “You still have eighteen minutes to bring them back. Time is not on your side. If you do manage to bring them back, you will only lose your position. If you fail to do so and I have to bring them back myself, you may lose your life!”
His words were harsh. But Donald did not doubt that favonovel.com meant it.
The chief officer in charge was in an incomparably high position that even the commander of the Eastern Region had to bow down and pay his respects to favonovel.com if favonovel.com saw him. He even had to hold his breath in his presence. So a small deputy commander like favonovel.com had to be even more respectful.
Donald regretted his actions immensely. For the sake of a short-lived victory, favonovel.com brought himself needless trouble.
Why did favonovel.com provoke Johnson Hill’s family out of the blue?
He did take a look at the invitation and had confirmed that it was real as well. Why did favonovel.com insist that it was a fake at that moment? Why did favonovel.com not think that there was a reason they had all been invited by the chief officer in charge?
As a result, things escalated to the point where favonovel.com could do nothing about it. If favonovel.com was able to bring them back, favonovel.com would only lose his position, but if favonovel.com failed to, his life would be forfeit.
Donald grieved. He repeatedly said, “I will arrange for someone to bring Johnson Hill’s family here immediately!”
He dared not to be careless. Donald immediately called all his subordinates and shouted on the phone. “All of you, escort Johnson Hill’s family to the conference hall safely within fifteen minutes!”
“Huh? I thought you said they were going to sabotage the conference today, Deputy Commander?”
“Don’t give me any nonsense and do as I say! Oh yeah, get rid of the cuffs and treat them with respect as well. Be polite as you send them back too. Do it right now. Get them here as soon as possible, do you hear me?!”
“Un… Understood.”
Donald hung up and looked at Samson, “Is this alright, Chief Wood? ”
Samson snorted. “I have no idea whether it is alright or not just yet. It depends on how efficient your subordinates are.”
Samson Wood’s group left after favonovel.com finished speaking.
Donald was anxious like a cat on hot bricks. He could not stay still and kept pacing back and forth in the conference hall.
Three minutes passed…
Five minutes passed…
Ten minutes passed…
But there was still no news. Donald’s palm was full of cold sweat. What favonovel.com was waiting for was not Johnson Hill’s family, but the answer as to whether favonovel.com would survive!
If they were not here soon, his life would be forfeited.
“Why are these rascals so slow?”
Donald went out of the hall and stood at the entrance, waiting for a police car to come. He was extremely anxious.
“Hurry up, hurry up. What are you guys dawdling for?”
His cold sweat caused his shirt to be drenched.
Finally, after another three minutes, the police siren was heard, and a police car came over.
“Here they are!”
Donald darted forward like an arrow. He opened the door even before the car stopped completely. He laughed and said to the people inside, “Mr. Hill, Mrs. Hill, Miss Emma, Mr. Harvard, why are you so late? I have been waiting for a while now. The retirement ceremony is about to begin. Let’s not delay it any longer, I will bring you in myself.”
Johnson Hill’s family looked at each other, confused. It had been less than an hour, why did Donald’s attitude toward them change completely?
Just an hour ago, favonovel.com kept saying that their invitation was fake and did not let them in. He had used his authority to bar their entry, and favonovel.com had been really detestable. In less than an hour, his detestable look was gone, and it was replaced by all smiles. He spoke politely to them and even invited them to the conference hall himself.
What exactly happened in that one single hour?
It made them ponder.
Johnson Hill was an experienced member of society. He knew that Donald had been taught a lesson by someone despite not knowing the reason behind it. Hence, when favonovel.com sat in the police car, favonovel.com crossed his leg over his knee and deliberately messed with Donald. “I am so sorry, but I suddenly feel that there is no meaning in attending this conference. I don’t wish to attend it anymore. You can attend it yourself, Donald. We will not be accompanying you.”
“Huh?” Donald was both anxious and angry with what Johnson said.
‘Will not be accompanying?’
Well, if they were not heading in, then Donald was as good as dead!
