I Did Not Keep a Tight Rein on Him
At once, Zack nodded. “Yes, I’ve heard. Mr. Larson, that’s actually also part of the reason I’m here. Over
the years, I have been neglecting my principal duties to discipline this younger brother of mine due to me
being busy with my business elsewhere. It’s also my fault for having failed to pay much attention to the
things happening in the Fowler Family and indirectly allowing them to sow the seed of arrogance and
imperious nature in them. Thus, the main purpose that I’m here is to give you an explanation.”
With that, Zack took out his phone and turned on a video. He then handed the phone over to Matthew.
In the video, a man and a woman were seen kneeling on the ground, their clothes soaked with blood.
The man kneeled up straight while the woman constantly shivered, looking like she could faint at any
time.
The couple in the video was none other than Zion and his wife, Lisa, the woman who spat offensive
remarks at Sasha.
“Mr. Larson, regarding the matter between you and Zion, I admit that I’m partially at fault for not keeping
a tight rein on him. Therefore, in an effort to give you an explanation, I taught them a lesson upon my
return to the Fowler Residence. Mr. Larson, feel free to let me know if there’s anything more you find
dissatisfactory with Zion and his wife!” Zack said in a respectful manner.
Upon hearing that, Matthew gazed deeply at Zion.
Based on the information of the Fowlers provided by Stanley before, the appraisal about Zack was
relatively concise.
As someone who had revived the Fowlers, Zack could be described as resourceful, scheming, and
ruthless. Now that he had come face-to-face with Zack, Matthew had indeed witnessed his way of
handling things.
In truth, Matthew wasn’t keen on collaborating with Zack.
However, it seemed like Matthew had no excuse to reject teaming up with him now, considering Zack
had taken things up to this length. As a matter of fact, what Zack did actually sparked Matthew’s interest
in him.
If his persona develops deeper, Zack could also be a prodigious character. It might be beneficial to me if
I could use a guy like him, Matthew thought.
Matthew smiled lightly and slowly nodded. “Well, then… Since you’re so sincere, President Fowler, there
are no further words to be discussed. Tiger, President Fowler’s supply quota set by the mall
management shall be given by an additional 20 percent annually in accordance with the original
contract.”
Overjoyed at Matthew’s words, Zack nodded again and again. “Thank you! Thank you, Mr. Larson!”
At the sight of that, Matthew chuckled. “Hustle hard, President Fowler. Without Renaissance Mall, the
Telk Family will not be able to enjoy being listed as one of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff for long.
And maybe one day, the Fowlers might be able to restore their former glory!”
These words took Zack by surprise. Then, he glanced at Matthew, looking excited yet doubtful.
Is Matthew hinting at me to take the position of the Telk Family in the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff?
Unless Matthew is willing to support me, the Fowlers alone are definitely not a strong backer for me to
replace the Telk Family’s position. However, the crucial point is… Is it wise for me to team up with
Matthew? After all, many among the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff are now in a feud with Matthew!
Oh, dear Lord… This is one great dilemma indeed! Which side should I choose to stand with?
Noticing the excitement behind Zack’s doubtful look, Matthew merely kept quiet. Later, he got up and
said with a smile, “President Fowler, let’s put behind our past disputes, considering we’ll be allies from
now on. Oh, and uh… I have a bottle of medicine here with me. Here! Take it and rub it on Zion’s wound.
It may sound too good to be true, but trust me… Not only will this medicine be able to help reattach his
fingers, but his reattached fingers will also be able to regain full mobility!”
Upon hearing that, Zack widened his eyes.
That does sound too good to be true. Zion’s fingers were completely severed. Even if he got them
reattached in the hospital, according to the doctor, Zion would be considered lucky if his fingers can
retain 30 percent of their mobility. Is that bottle of medicine that Matthew offered truly this potent?
Reaching out both hands, Zack took the bottle of medicine from Matthew, and with the bottle in his grip,
he thanked Matthew repeatedly.
After that, Zack took out his mobile phone in front of Matthew and made a call. “You can let those two
b*stards stand up now. Mr. Larson has forgiven them. Also, send that woman back to her hometown!
Such a woman does not deserve to raise a child!”
Matthew was touched. He never expected Zack to act straight from the shoulder.
So… is Zack meaning to say that Zion and his wife are still kneeling up until now?
