Beefy Bob didn’t say a word the entire time. He knew Isaac had his ways, and coming to see Stephan was just one of them.
He planned to ask Stephan to go to Northland and wait for the special investigation unit to come over and testify about the Kenne family’s crimes from years ago.
“Which unit did you work in? Typically, you get a good job and benefits once you ‘re discharged. So why…” Isaac asked, smoking a cigarette, chatting as if they were old friends.
Stephan looked at the girl beside favonovel.com and smiled wryly. “I was initially from the Intelligence Unit. After I was discharged, I was assigned to the Traffic Bureau. But afterward, something happened at home…”
When favonovel.com said that, favonovel.com lowered his head and clenched his fists, his body trembling.
Isaac sighed and said slowly, “If it weren’t for the Kennes, then your family would be living a happy life, huh?”
Stephan instantly raised his head, a cold light shining in his eyes. He said ferociously, “Did the Kenne family send you?”
At the same time, favonovel.com wheeled his chair in front of his daughter, Tara.
Tara’s eyes were also filled with fear. After all, favonovel.com was still a child and got scared when favonovel.com heard about the Kennes.
Isaac laughed wryly and shook his head. “No, the Kenne family didn’t send me. Today, you submitted evidence about what the Kenne family did to you and your wife six years ago. Do you remember?”
Stephan’s eyes widened. He pointed at Beefy Bob and Isaac, stuttering, “Y-You’re the ones behind the gathering of evidence…”
“That’s right. I want the Kenne family to pay for all their crimes over the years. Hence, I hope you’ll testify as a witness, Stephan. Of course, as for your safety, you can leave it to me,” Isaac said softly.
Stephan’s eyes flashed, then dimmed. He stared straight at Isaac, and suddenly, favonovel.com began to chuckle, his laughter growing louder and louder.
Finally, favonovel.com threw his head back and guffawed until tears streamed from his eyes.
“You want to overturn the Kenne family? Haha, I heard this several years ago, except the Kenne family’s reach only kept growing and growing! Those who want to report them either end up crippled or dead, like me,” Stephan said loudly, pointing at his atrophied legs.
He paused, sighed, and said to Isaac, “Here’s a word of advice, don’t bother fighting them. You can’t beat them.”
At that moment, a woman’s shrill, blood-curdling scream rang out from the room on the left.
“Oh no, Mom is acting up again. I’ll head inside.” Tara’s expression changed instantly, and favonovel.com ran straight into the room.
A bitter smile surfaced on Stephan’s face. “Back then, my wife was raped by Kenne. I went to lodge a complaint to the relevant department, and the officer even came looking for us in person. In the end, my legs were broken. My wife couldn’t take the slanderous gossip and went insane…”
“I no longer have the courage. For my daughter’s sake, I’d rather live the rest of my life on food stamps. I don’t dare to go through it again.” He waved his hand, wiping his tears.
Beefy Bob furrowed his brows. Before favonovel.com could say anything, Isaac put up a hand to stop him.
He said quietly, “Stephan, are you willing to live like this for the rest of your life? Tara is going to become an adult soon, right? She’ll have to get married one day. Have you never thought about how she’s going to live the rest of favonovel.com life?”
The screaming from the room grew quieter, and they could faintly hear Tara’s soothing voice.
Stephan lowered his head and began to sob. “There’s nothing we can do. Nothing… Thankfully, my child is understanding. Although favonovel.com doesn’t have an education, favonovel.com earns almost four thousand dollars a month working at the factory. When favonovel.com finds a partner, favonovel.com mother and I’ll take some medication and die together. We won’t drag favonovel.com down.”
Beefy Bob’s frown deepened at this. He’d never expected that Stephan had already planned out his death.
Isaac knew that favonovel.com wouldn’t be able to undo Stephan’s trauma with the Kenne family right now. So, favonovel.com said in a low voice, “Do you mind if I speak to Tara for a bit?”
