Son In Law Madness Chapter 359 After that, Adrian pulled out a chair and sat down.
The aura in the hall soon turned bizarre as the people became divided into two factions.
Donald, Beatrice, and Ysabel stayed with each other while they faced up against the many people from the Stern family.
Beatrice and Ysabelâs palms were sweating nervously, but there was no visible sign of anxiousness on Donaldâs face.
Tugging at Ysabelâs shirt, Beatrice remarked, âYsabel, get Donald to leave. Now!â
Ysabel pondered about it before replying, âMom, letâs trust Donald this time.â
Although she was frustrated, Beatrice sighed inwardly. She sides with Donald more than she sides with me. I wonder whatâs so unique about Donald that Ysabel would trust him unconditionally?
Adrian announced, âIâm going to break your legs in five minutes!â
Time ticked by slowly. Just as the five minutes were about to pass, Adrianâs phone rang.
Everyone was collectively frightened by the ringtone.
Peering at Donald, Adrian noticed the former was still sitting in the same spot with no expression on his face. He instantly had a bad feeling about it.
When he picked up his phone, Adrian noticed it was a call from Maisey, a managerial-level staff working for him.
âBad news, Mr. Stern!â The panicked voice of Maisey sounded through the phone.
âCalm down. What happened?â Adrian replied in a low voice.
Maisey replied, âA colossal truck approaching the toll station has blocked three lanes. Since the vehicle canât head to Pollerton because the tolls are blocking its way, they are trying to demolish toll station number five.â
Gravely shaken by Maiseyâs words, Adrian stood up abruptly from his seat. âWhat?â Then, he turned to look at Donald again.
Donald remained indifferent to his gaze.
âWhere are the security guards?â Adrian asked anxiously.
âTheyâre injured. Tens of men in ancient armor descended from the truck and are currently demolishing the toll!â
âWhat is the truck transporting? Why didnât anyone inform me of this truckâs appearance?â
âThey are transporting some high-tech devices. I have no idea what those are,â Maisey reported in a trembling voice.
âAll right. I got it.â Adrian hung up before turning to look at Donald. âDid you do this?â
âDonât panic. This is only the first of the many to come.â
Adrianâs heart sank, while the others widened their eyes in astonishment at Donaldâs words.
Pondering for a moment, Adrian called the person in charge of the highway surveillance cameras.
His voice was humble and respectful when he spoke. âMr. Stevens, why didnât you notify me about the truck that had entered Pollertonâs highway?â
âDonât ask. You canât afford to offend the person behind this,â Mr. Stevens answered impatiently.
With that, he ended the call.
Adrian was shocked.
Canât afford to offend? I canât mess with Donald? Does he really have a hidden identity as an influential figure?
While Adrian was blanking out, his phone rang once again. It was a call from another toll supervisor.
âMr. Stern! Toll station number two is about to be demolished.â The callerâs voice traveled into everyoneâs ears.
The others could no longer sit still as they landed their gaze on Donald, having the same thoughts in mind.
Is Donald really behind all these?
Jennifer doubted herself as well. She wondered whether she had ever understood the man before her.
Disconnecting the call, Adrian muttered, âDonât panic. We have Mr. Yund supporting us.â
With that, he dialed Neilâs number. âMr. Yund, I apologize for bothering you at this time of the night. I wonder whether you were aware of the demolition of those toll stations?â
âIâm aware. Donât probe into this matter any further. You canât afford to offend him, and neither do I.
After the demolition, we will rebuild the toll stations, but youâre fired. Youâve upset Mr. Campbell when you ordered a lockdown on Pollertonâs transportation.â
I made Mr. Campbell unhappy? Oh, no!
Adrian was on the verge of a breakdown as if someone had detonated a bomb in his brain.
