Chapter - 20

When Wendell fled the scene, Harold was walking into the hall along with his sister, Wendy and her fiance, Gerald. Walking next to Gerald was a young man in a smart suit. There was a slight facial resemblance between the two of them. When Harold met Wendell head-on, he hurriedly approached him and said, “Hey, Wendell! When I came in just now, I heard that something happened to your family. Is it true?”

Wendell shoved him away hastily, mumbling, “I’m done, it’s over, I’m done…”

Harold asked with concern, “Mr. Jones, what’s wrong?”

Wendell shook his head in panic, not daring to say anything. Right now, he had no doubt that if he said something he shouldn’t, he would be a corpse lying somewhere tomorrow. Thus, he pushed Harold’s hands away and ran out of the hall like his life depended on it.

Harold looked the way he ran and sighed. “I bet it’s really the end for the Jones family. Damn, isn’t it all a little too fast? They were still fine yesterday but they’ve gone bankrupt today!”

Then, when Harold saw Charlie and Claire, a wicked thought appeared in his mind. He went towards Claire and ushered her with him “Claire, let me introduce you to our distinguished guests tonight. This gentleman over here is Gerald’s cousin, Kevin, the eldest son of the White family.”

“Kevin, this is my cousin, Claire,” Harold said to Kevin with a coy smile.
