“Jacob, didn't you call your dad just now? Was it your dad who helped us?” Megan urged.

Jacob had been in a daze since Levi showed up. He only snapped back to reality when Megan called his name. Jolting up from his chair, he blurted out, “Huh? Megan, what did you say?”

“I said, didn't you call your dad just now? Did Mr. Xanthos show up to apologize because your dad used his connections?” Megan repeated patiently.

“Uh, t-that's likely,” Jacob stammered.

Despite saying that, he didn't share her sentiments deep down.

During the call, his father had clearly told him to stay out of the Zeller family's business, or risk dying a horrible death.

“Why don't you give your dad a call?” Megan urged.

“Oh, all right. I'll call him now.”

Under her insistence, Jacob had no choice but to pretend he was heading out to make the call.

Not long after Jacob went out to “call” his father, Harold came back.

“What happened, Mr. Zeller?”

Harold was confused when he saw the Zeller family sitting still instead of digging in. The food on the table were barely touched.

He assumed Levi and the others hadn't shown up to apologize.

“Oh, you're back, Harold. A while ago, Mr. Xanthos from Paradise Hotel showed up with Thiago and apologized to us. Do you know about that?” Glen asked hopefully.

He wanted nothing more than for Harold to admit that Levi and the others had come under Harold's orders.

“I just came back, Mr. Zeller. How did Levi and the rest apologize to you?” Harold neither admitted nor denied it. On the contrary, he seemed curious.

“Dad, I told you it wasn't him. Do you believe me now?” Megan exclaimed hastily. Deep down, she heaved a sigh of relief when Harold didn't admit it was him.

Glen said nothing, but a hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes.

Right then, Jacob returned after he was done putting on an act.
