Beads of sweat dripped down Davidâs face and fell to the ground.
He looked at the bottle of pills and the bank card in front of him, his eyes full of reluctance. At this moment, he did not know what to choose He wanted money, but he didnât want to kill anyone.
If he was exposed, he would be imprisoned for the rest of his life.
Philip looked at David, who was hesitant at the moment, and said calmly. âDavid, if I remember correctly, your son is studying at Treeman High School, right? As long as you help me with this. I promise to let your son study in the best private school âBesides, donât worry. Even if you fail, Iâll protect you. I wonât let you go to jail.â
David was smart enough to sense the threat in Philipâs words.
What Philip was trying to say was, if David didnât help him, he would kill his son!
David gritted his teeth and immediately picked up the pills and bank card. He said solemnly. âAlright, Iâll do itâ
When Philip heard this, he smiled and said, âTll tell you the pin number when you finish the task.
âCome on, cheers for our cooperation. After this is done, weâll be friendsâ
With that, Philip raised his glass, clinked it with Davidâs, and drank it.
âThank you for your kindness, Mr. Labenz. I wonât let you down, I promise. Iâll kill Haylan Jaber!â
David was trying his best. to wear an obsequious smile, drinking wine and flattering him.
David was good at flattery. His attitude made Philip laugh with satisfaction.
Philip was all smiles. He stood up and patted Davidâs shoulder. Tve already paid the bill. Enjoy yourself.
âAnd remember, I have faith in you. Good luckâ
With that, he left.
After Philip left, David took out the bottle of pills and the bank card with a solemn expression.
From what he knew about Philip, if the matter got exposed after he killed Haylan, Philip would definitely not protect him!
If he did not kill Haylan, however, he would offend Philip. In that case, his family would be in chaos, There were two paths in front of him. No matter which path he took, it would be a dead end!
âDamn it!â
David gritted his teeth and slammed his fist on the table. He was furious, but there was nothing he could do.
These people were just too powerful for him to deal with!
Whether it was Haylan or Philip, he didnât dare to offend either of them.
Dealing with these two powerful men at the same time was very difficult.
Haylan returned home, parked the car, and entered with the box.
At this moment, he realized that everyone in the house was present. On the table, all kinds of drinks and delicacies could be seen.
It was already six in the evening. Charlie, Felicia, Floris, and Queenie were all sitting at the dining table and waiting.
âWhy arenât you rating? Haylan paused for a moment.
âWeâll eat it when you come back,â said Charlie.
âMom, Uncle is back. Can we eat now?â
When Tracy saw Haylan return, she immediately screamed excitedly. Then, she looked at Floris with pleading eyes âNot yet. We have to wait a little longer before we can eat,â Floris said.
âThereâs no need, Floris. Tracy is hungry. Let her eat first. Haylan frowned.
âAbsolutely not! You got promoted today, Haylan. We have to wait for you to go home and celebrate it together. Moris said.
How did you guys know? Haylan was stunned.
Have you forgotten? You and Mr. Jach work at the same place. He came back from work early and told me about this Immediately:
Charlie laughed out loud and pulled Haylan over. He sat down at the dining table and said with a smile of satisfaction, âHaylan, Iâm so proud of you! In just a few days, you worked your way up from deputy department head to the position of department head and became a leader. Iâm very happy today. You have to drink with me.â
As he spoke, he opened a bottle of whiskey and excitedly poured a glass for Haylan. After pouring a glass for himself, he clinked glasses with Haylan and drank it all in one gulp.
This one is for you, Haylanâ Yelena smiled.
âI wish you success, Haylan.â Queenie poured herself a glass of cola instead of alcohol.
âYouâre our role model. Haylan.â
Harris and George also laughed out loud. They picked up their orange juice and toasted Haylan.
âAre you guys trying to get Haylan drunk today?â Felicia chuckled.
âOf course. Today is a joyous day. We all have to get drunkâ Charlie laughed out loud.
Floris nudged Tracy.
Tracy immediately stood up and held a glass of Sprite. She blinked her big eyes and said to Haylan, âUncle, congratulations on your promotion. Let me toast you too.â
âHahaha, thank youâ
Haylan stroked Tracyâs head and chuckled. âAlright, Iâll try my best not to get drunk today. Cheers!â
With that, he picked up a bottle of wine and drank it in one gulp.
They toasted each other and laughed with great happiness.
Everyone in the family was happy for Haylan from the bottom of their hearts. The atmosphere was cheerful.
About ten minutes later, Charlie got a little drunk, and his face was red. He said excitedly, âYou guys keep eating. I-Iâll go talk to the old man next doorâ
With that, he walked out with a red face and shouted at everyone he met. âOh, Mr. Freeman, my son has become successful. Heâs now the department head.â
âHa, Rick, my son is back. Heâs now the head of the security department of Mapleturz Group.
âLet me tell you, Peter, my son is very powerful now.â
People would be in high spirits when they encountered joyous events!
Charlie used to be a loser. He had been bullied and always dreamed of a day when he could turn the table. However, he failed again and again. He had been struggling at the bottom.
Now, whoever, his son had returned and led his family to become rich. He had even become the head of the security department of Mapleturz Group. This made him overjoyed and proud.
He praised his son whenever he met someone. It was as if he was the one who had become the head of the security department. He smiled, his face filled with pride.
âOh, congratulations!â
âHa, Charlie, you have a great son. Youâre gonna be rich in the future.â
âCharlie, your son is surely successful, but that canât do without your education. Youâre the one who contributed the most. Congratulationsâ
When Charlieâs neighbors heard his words, they all looked happy and kept praising him.
Hearing those peopleâs praises, Charlie felt proud and satisfied. He was overjoyed at the moment.
âWell, he really likes to be ostentatious about everything.â Felicia said jokingly.
âMam, let Dad do as he pleases. He has bren aggrieved for half his life. Itâs tune for him to hold his head high,â Haylan said with a simile He felt good that he could make his father, who was always a humble man, happy and proud of him.
He had given his father a chance to show off.
Felicia looked at Charlieâs smug expression and rebuked jokingly, âWell, Iâm not blaming him for holding his head high ar something. You know, the Jaber familyâs patriarchâs son got into Evergreen University, but heâs not so excited about it. Also, your uncleâs son is now an executive overseas with a monthly salary of 20 thousand dollars. He didnât celebrate like this either.
Charlie always likes to make a big thing about everything. Itâs as if you became a high-ranking official âMom, Haylan is successful. Itâs normal for Dad to be happy Queenie said âYeah, Queenieâs right. Mom, you should be happy too.â George and Harris smiled.
Felicia also smiled and picked up a glass of whiskey. âHaylan, Iâm really proud of you. This one is for you.â
After saying that, she drank it all in one gulp. It was so strong that she coughed and complained, âThis is so strong. I really donât understand why your father likes it so much.â
George immediately poured a glass of water for Felicia.
That night, all the members of the Jaber family were happy. After Charlie showed off to his neighbors outside, he returned home and continued drinking. At last, he was totally drunk.
Haylan was also a little drunk.
The family was overjoyed. After the celebration, Haylan looked at the time. It was already seven oâclock.
He picked up five spirit stones and a carving knife and put them in his pocket. Only then did he leave and slowly walk toward the barbecue stall near the school.
Tonight, he and Noah were going to treat Mia to a meal. To be honest, he and Mia had not seen each other for a long time. Now, she was a superstar, but he was still looking forward to meeting this beautiful old classmate of his.
