Harold couldn't be bothered to entertain Leroy and the others.
Harold couldn't be bothered to entertain Leroy and the others.

However, his silence had them misunderstanding that he had no retort because they saw through his trick.

“You assaulted someone without reason earlier, Harold. If you don't want us to sue you, drop to your knees and apologize to Monkey!”

Hoping that Monkey and the others would be even more loyal to him, Leroy ordered Harold to apologize to Monkey on his knees.

“Who dares to have Mr. Campbell kneel?”

Before Harold could even respond, Daniel's enraged voice rang out from the conference room door.

He ran faster than his father, so he reached the conference room first.

“Why are you here, Mr. Daniel?”

Leroy and the others immediately snapped their heads back and gaped at Daniel.


Nonetheless, Daniel ignored them completely. In fact, he shoved them away roughly. Biting the bullet, he hurried toward Harold instead.

“This man is very violent, Mr. Daniel. I've already called security, so don't go near him.”

Leroy swiftly stopped Daniel upon noticing that the latter wanted to approach Harold.

Slap!

Just as his words rang out, Daniel backhanded him across the face.

“Sorry I'm late, Mr. Campbell. I hope these b*stards didn't do anything to offend you. My father is right behind me. He also came along to greet you!” he gushed with an ingratiating smile in front of the man.

His remark stunned Leroy, Monkey, and the others once more.

Not only is he acting like a lackey, speaking humbly with a toadying smile in front of Harold, but he's also saying that even Philip Larson—our Chairman, the wealthiest man in Dellmoor, and the patriarch of the most prominent family in the city—is rushing over as well. On top of that, the man is only coming to greet Harold! What on earth is going on here?

“What do you think?” Harold queried mildly, dipping his head and sweeping his gaze over the documents scattered on the ground.

“Oh... Crap!”

Daniel glanced at the documents scattered on the ground before stealing a peek at the chagrined expression on the man's face.
