"G-Give me a moment to think about it...”
Helen started brainstorming the things they could do to turn the tables around.
Meanwhile, Fabian had reached the location he would meet Jaxon.
Shortly after his arrival, another man opened the door of the private room and made his way in.
When Fabian saw Jaxon, he greeted with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Dane! Have you been caught up in an accident? What's taking you so long?”
Jaxon was conscious it was a sarcastic remark, yet he decided to brush it off because he couldn't afford to offend Fabian. In the end, he replied with a smile, "I'm so sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Norton. I was caught up in the middle of
something."
After an exchange of pleasantries, Jaxon asked, "May I know the reason you have asked me over?"
Fabian sneered because he was pretty sure Jaxon was well aware of the reason he had been summoned. Are you sure you need a reminder of the things you have done?
Although he was relatively sarcastic in his mind, he kept his sarcasm to himself and stated, "Please don't make it sound as though you're taking orders from me, Mr. Dane. I'm merely here because I need you to enlighten this humble businessman."
"You're way too humble, Mr. Norton. As the owner of the corporate that contributes a lot to the country's revenue, I'll definitely tell you everything you need to know. What sort of information do you need from me?"
As a veteran official, Jaxon was a professional of beating around the bush.
"Since Mr. Dane has brought it up, I'll stop holding back."
After pausing for a few seconds, Fabian continued, "I'm sure you're aware of the incident that has occurred during my wedding ceremony, aren't you?”
Smiling, Jaxon replied, "I believe no one isn't aware of the accident that almost cost you and your wife's life, Mr. Norton."
Fabian asked with a serious expression, "If that's the case, you must have heard of the mastermind's identity, haven't you?"
