Chapter 243 (At the Mayor's Residence)

"The thing is, Floyd is too used to having his way all the time because of his social status. Although his father, Mr. Ludlow, is an honest and upright man, he's too busy with work to keep track of his son's behavior. At the same time, no one around him dared to tell him anything bad about his son. That's how Floyd has become so bumptious. I'll go and get some pointers from Mr. Gunn regarding this." Bill left to find Dalton after saying that.

"You shouldn't have been so rough! We might be in trouble now!" Stefanie shot Jacob a helpless look.

"Well, that's what happens when someone lays a finger on you!" the man said with a straight face while staring at her.

Upon seeing how protective Jacob was of her, Stefanie could not help but feel touched. After rolling her eyes at him, she suggested, "You better leave and lie low. Let my dad consult Mr. Gunn first. You should only return once they've settled that matter."
