Chapter 401: Chapter 401: Not a Good Guy
Inside the office, Justin stood before the window, his shadow stretched out long by the intense sunlight.
After an unknown period, he extinguished the cigarette in his hand. His facial features cast a shadow in the sunlight, making him look exceptionally dejected.
He tilted his head slightly, squinting out the window.
This angle was a fantastic spot to appreciate the panoramic view of the entire city, overlooking the bustling traffic on the highway below and the large scrolling screens displaying advertisements in the building across.
Justin lowered his gaze, with a hint of bitterness stirring within him.
"When the answer is irrelevant, it’s an answer nonetheless."
So, does Charlotte really only like Adam?
Justin rubbed his brow, his eyes slightly brooding, exuding a deep and unique aura.
After a while, he trudged back to his office chair, seemingly having made some decision within.
Being overbearing wasn’t his style. Since Charlotte already had someone she liked...
He’d just be a passerby, and that’s all.
...
On the other hand, Charlotte was about to take a taxi home after work when she glanced at the time.
After pondering for a few seconds, she took out her phone from her bag, skillfully searched for a number and prepared to make a call.
Just as Jack Bryant was preparing to go out, he received her call.
"Miss Thompson."
Charlotte nodded subtly, and asked, "Are you at the hotel now?"
At these words, Jack Bryant looked back at the large BK Hotel sign behind him, paused slightly, and answered, "Yes, what’s up?"
"Good." Charlotte looked at her watch and said softly, "There’s still time. Go find Chad and Jack, and bring them over. I have something to do with them."
After speaking, she didn’t forget to remind him, "I am waiting for you at the company door."
Upon hearing this, Jack Bryant didn’t ask any more questions. After hanging up, he turned and walked into the hotel, just bumping into Liam Bryant who was walking towards him, buttoning up his suit.
Seeing him walking back, Liam asked in confusion, "Not leaving?"
"Miss Thompson has something for me to do." Jack handed the other key to him, raised an eyebrow, and joked, "If you can’t wait, you can drive the car in the underground garage first. I will be there soon."
Liam deftly caught the key, grinned, showing a mouthful of white teeth, and happily responded, "Okay."
...
Inside the hotel room, Jack Bryant pushed the door open and was somewhat confused to see a few children sitting neatly.
"What are you all doing here?"
Hank Thompson was a little panicked, stammering as if he’d been caught doing something wrong, "No... nothing! Uncle Jack, do you need something?"
Jack didn’t think much, just pointed at Chad, then at Jack Thompson, and said, "I just received a call from your mom, asking me to take Master Chad Thompson and Master Jack Thompson on an errand. It seems to be urgent."
Hearing this, several children looked at each other, understanding evident in their eyes.
Hank Thompson was somewhat nervous. He moved next to Jack Thompson and whispered in his ear.
"Jack, when you meet that man later, don’t be scared, show him your might first..."
Before he could finish, Cyrus Thompson grabbed him and gestured a nod to Jack Thompson, smiling, "Jack, there’s nothing to worry about, you guys go ahead."
Only then did Jack Thompson stand up and follow Chad out of the room.
Inside the room, Hank Thompson adjusted his back collar in distress and grumbled quietly, "Am I not afraid of Jack and Chad being wronged? Besides, that man doesn’t look like a good guy."
