Back at the Queen residence, Alfred wore an ugly scowl after Roxanne left.
The caregiver came to bring him out for his daily exercise, but Alfred snapped, "I won't be exercising today. You can leave now."
With that said, he turned to Jonathan and demanded, "You promised to collaborate with Dr. Jarvis' research institute, but why is this happening? You didn't even realize it until Dr. Jarvis showed up earlier. What if Dr. Jarvis didn't come to demand an explanation? Is Queen Group going to be known for not keeping its word?"
Jonathan bowed respectfully and allowed Alfred to yell at him. When Alfred was done talking, he parted his lips and admitted his mistake. "Grandpa, it was my negligence. I shall start an investigation now and give Dr. Jarvis an explanation. Queen Group's reputation won't be affected!"
Alfred banged his cane on the ground angrily. "Investigate it now! I shall investigate alongside you to find out who the culprit is. We can't let one bad apple spoil the whole bunch."
The Queen family had worked hard to build their reputation for a century, so Alfred refused to allow anyone to taint their name!
Jonathan seemed stumped. "Grandpa, I'm afraid I'll have to head to the company to investigate the matter. You should rest at home."
Alfred needed to recuperate and couldn't travel too far. As he was still furious, Jonathan feared something would happen to him.
However, Alfred interjected angrily, "Dr. Jarvis saved my life, so I have to take action myself. That way, people will know how important she is to us. Let's go now!"
He then got up with the help of his cane.
Shock flared up Jonathan's heart as he strode over to help Alfred back to the couch. After a brief hesitation, he suggested, "Why don't I ask Rex Tanner to come here?
You'll get to question him personally. I believe he knows something."
Alfred agreed readily and sat on the couch with a dark expression.
