In an instant, the group at the door froze in panic, unsure whether to stay or leave.

“Mr. Clarke, do you have any other instructions?” Harold still had a little more guts and could afford to stay composed.

“I hope you all will not speak of this incident today with anyone else. I do not wish for my daily life to be disrupted, do you understand?” said Philip.

“We understand, we understand.” Harold nodded continuously.

Philip then nodded, and the group immediately dispersed, almost running away.

“How did it go?” Lynn asked anxiously. To be frank, she was unwilling to watch her wretched cousin brother-in-law punished, so she chose to stay behind at the entrance.

Jeremy shook his head and answered, “It was okay.”
