He spoke in a frigid tone, and despite the calmness of his gaze, there was a hint of contempt. The
woman did not dare look him in the eye.
Jessie nodded, “Yes, we shouldn’t have disturbed you, but… Linda’s actions were excessive in this
case, and we shouldn’t have involved Mr. Wickam just now.” She took a step forward, “No, I came here
with the chairman to make peace with you, and I sincerely hope you won’t brush things off. Do not
ignore us.”
Jessie had the disposition for using foul language, but she held her tongue in Gareth’s presence.
Norman turned a shade paler. It was best he didn’t butt in during their conversation.

Nevertheless, he had already made his point when he arrived here today. Jessie spoke, but he didn’t
disclose his opinion on the matter. However, the older man was prepared to provide an apology.
But…
Norman has made a wrong assumption about Gareth.
The man before him was prideful and showed no attention to their appeal.
I can’t accept this kind of behavior. He’s human, just like the rest of us.
Gareth looked indifferently at Jessie, “Initially, your firm suggested ending the cooperation.” He
adjusted his cuffs, “But, now that it has been made public, continuing to collaborate may seem…
pointless.”
Norman refuted, “Meaningless? How could it be meaningless? Think about Linda!”

Jessie rebutted, “Mr. Benett resisted expressing anything,” His advocate took a breath, “But, deep
down, he still wishes to work hand in hand.” Jessie sighed, “Additionally, it is Mr. Benett at fault here.
Please give Mrs. Benett a chance; she stands separate from his actions. Sir, what do you say?”
Jessie turned to Norman Benett.
Norman simpered, “Gareth…”
The man gave the elder a cold glare. Mr. Benett then changed his approach, “I acknowledge my grave
mistakes in the past and my wife’s carelessness. Please, if you find somewhere in your good graces,
let bygones be bygones…”.

Norman trailed his words at the end.
He found it difficult to admit it.
Gareth turned away from Jessie and fixed his harsh gaze on Norman.
Norman and Jessie exchanged glances. The party was uneasy from the demeanor.
Jessie decided to push through, “Mr. Wickam, I know your company has been affected greatly, but
we’re here to redeem ourselves. We hope to compensate in some way the damage this family has
made.”
Gareth lowered his gaze and remained silent.
Norman, on the other hand, was seeing red.
To be treated like this by some kid!
I’m livid!
