This would probably be Jared and Susan's most embarrassing day in their lives for many years to come.
They stood awkwardly by the flagpole for more than an hour until the parent-teacher conference ended.
When they received Nathan's permission to leave, they fled as though they had been granted amnesty for their crimes.
One phone call from Nathan forced dozens of his chain stores to shut down, and even Gladius was crippled.
Jared suspected that there was something unusual about Nathan's status.
He was fairly certain that there was more to Nathan than what met the eye. If not, the governor wouldn't have treated him with so much respect.
Jared and Susan had come to Channing not only to visit relatives, but also to attend to the seizure of the Noblewoman Beauty stores.
However, after uncovering Nathan's identity, the couple dared not linger in Channing any longer.
They went back to Alberesque on the same day and decided to get their act together.
Just as Jared arrived in Alberesque, he was alerted of a new development.
The patriarch of the prestigious Cross Family, Zayn, had checked into his villa in the South and had called for a meeting with him.
Mr. Cross is here!
Jared knew how vicious and merciless Northania's tycoon families could be, so he rushed to Zayn's villa to pay him a visit.
When Zayn met Jared, he asked about the incident that happened to Gladius.
Jared explained everything to Zayn in full detail, but he deliberately concealed his doubts about Nathan's identity.
He simply couldn't figure out Nathan's true identity, and he despised Nathan to death.
Hence, he was hoping that Zayn would help him kill Nathan.
