Chapter 245 Punishment for Wrongdoing

Jeanne frowned wistfully and said hesitantly, "I wonder if my dad and brother have their meal yet."

August stiffened and immediately figured something.

What happened to the Kelly Group yesterday was a sensation, and he had thought that she might come and see him today.He leaned back and asked, "How is your father doing?"

Jeanne put on a wry face and replied, "He is worried.The efforts of the PR team are in vain, and the stocks plummeted in the morning.My mom has been crying at home, and I have no ways to save the day."

August comforted her gently, "Don't take it too hard.This is not your fault"

"But I'm a member of the Kelly family.I can't help feeling worried"

With tears in her eyes, she suddenly grabbed his hand, "August, can you help for my sake?"

August's face slightly fell.

Seconds later, he pulled his hand back and asked blandly, "Did your father send you here?"

Jeanne panicked and subconsciously denied it, "No, it's my own idea.August..."

August said solemnly, "I can help you with other things but not this."

The Kelly family exploited the loopholes of the labor law and squeezed their employees.

Wrong in the first place, they hit those migrant workers who ended up in the hospital.

That was injustice, and whoever spoke up for them would be the devil's advocate.

Everyone was trying to stay away.

No one would get himself in trouble at such a point.The Adams family was no exception.
