Meanwhile, in the Zeigler residence, after llerbert returned from his morning exercise, he received a
call. By the time the call ended, his expression turned as dark as ink. Instantly, he instructed the
housekeeper, “Get Sylvic down licrel”
Then, he sat in the living room and waited for her with a grim look on his face.
When Sylvie heard from the housekeeper that Herbert was in a rush to scc hcr, alarm bells began
ringing in her head, She did not even bother changing her clothes before running down the stairs.
The moment she reached the bottom of the stairs, she saw the tchisc expression on the clderly man’s
face, and her heart lurched.
“Granddad,” Sylvie greeted softly as she walked into the living room. “Were you looking for me?”
Right as Herbert saw Sylvic, he sprang up from the couch and slapped her hard. His sudden action
frightened the housekeeper at the side.
The force of the slap made Sylvie’s head turn to the side. A beat later, she raised her hand to hold her
aching cheek.
“I’ve always given you anything you wanted, but this is too much!” Herbert began in a furious tone.
“How dare you use your uncle’s name to contact the people in Xedells Prison? Do you know what
you’re doing? Do you know that you’re sticking your hands into political matters now? Do you think that
Xedells is the same as Baykeep? Your uncle might be doomed because of you!”
“Granddad, I didn’t..” Sylvie sobbed. “I didn’t use Uncle Phineus’ name for anything. I just gave them
money to ask for their help…”
“Did you think they would let that criminal go if you didn’t?” Herbert hissed.
Herbert was in poor health that year, and his anger only made his condition worse. He nearly could not
take his next breath, and he had to lie on the couch for a while.
In the meantime, Sylvie quickly took his medication for him.
Tears rolled down Sylvie’s checks when she saw the pale look of the elderly man. “Granddad, this is
my fault. Don’t be mad anymore. What do I do if anything happens to you? I know I’m at fault,
Granddad. I’m sorry!**
At that, she went on her knees before her grandfather.
She then continued sobbing out, “That man helped me before. If not for his support, I would’ve died
overseas a long time ago. Ile wanted me to get him out of jail, so I agreed to it. I tried to send someone
to bribe the people there with money, but to my surprise, the ones working at the jail called me and
asked if Phincus Zeigler was my uncle. If I said yes, they would then turn a blind cye to the jailbreak.
Granddad, I really never thought of troubling Uncle Phincus. I didn’t mean to do it!”
In just a short while, Sylvie alrcady had tear tracks on her face. “I just wanted to return my
friend’s favor.”
No matter how livid Herbert was, he could not liclp but fccl bad for her which he thought about her
difficult childhood.
Herbert then helped her up and solemnly said to hier, “Sylvic, there are many ways to return the favor
to him. What you’ve done will really coon your Uncle Phincus and me. Now that they have gotten
something to blackmail your uncle with, they’ll be able to request anything from your uncle in the
future.”
Herbert had been in the military for most of luis life, and he looked down on those who sided with the
underworld. Thus, when he saw how his cldest son had joined the army and become a commander
while his other son became a party secretary, he was filled with relics and pride.
He did not wish for a minor matter to allect his and the Zeigler family’s reputation.
Sylvie nodded before obediently responding, “I’ll remember this lesson, Granddad. I won’t do this
again.”
The pain Herbert felt lessened after taking his medication, so he told Sylvie to head upstairs.
Herbert then asked his driver, “Have they caught Xavier?”
He had to catch the man as soon as possible and send him back to Xedells Prison; he could not let the
situation worsen any further.
The driver had received some news via text messages while Herbert was talking to Sylvic, but as
Herbert was chiding Sylvie, the driver dared not interrupt him.
Now that Herbert was asking him about it, the driver softly answered, “No, but he killed someone.”
“What?” Herbert froze.
The driver continued, “I received news from Jadeborough that Xavier fled after killing the woman. That
woman used to be engaged to him. It’s Peter Faulkner’s daughter.”
