The Son-In-Law Shot to Fame novel Chapter 361

Neil hummed in response before hanging up.

Jeremiah taunted brazenly, “Let me see whether you're powerful or not!"

Around five minutes later, Jeremiah's phone rang. When he noticed the caller, blood drained from his face.

It’s Neil!

Neil explained, “You've offended Mr. Campbell too. Starting from tomorrow, you don't have to come to work anymore. Other than that, you've also embezzled funds from the company and forced consumers to make purchases from the service areas. I will make sure to get down to the bottom of the whole incident.”

Thud!

Jeremiah's phone fell to the floor. As though struck by a bolt of lightning, he froze. Feeling a coldness creep from his feet to his whole body, the man started shaking.

Donald... truly did it!

“Y-Y-You...” Jeremiah sputtered. He then coughed uncontrollably, feeling as though blood was about to come out of his throat.

Shortly after, the door was pushed open by three righteous-looking men. They declared, “Jeremiah Stern, you are under arrest for your involvement in multiple occupational crimes.”

Jeremiah was not a public official but had opened a restaurant in the service areas during his stint. Working with the transportation company, they forced people who stopped by the service areas to make unwanted purchases while raising the price of a plate of pasta to fifty each.

If one were unwilling to eat it, they would throw the person at the service areas. Worse still, they would beat the person up as well.

Donald had already investigated this matter.

As though strength had drained from his body, Jeremiah let the policemen drag him out of the room.

The room fell into silence once again. This time around, the silence had a sense of confusion to it.

Everyone had their eyes on Donald while Adrian was still kneeling on the ground, his hair drenched with sweat.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Adrian's mind as he turned toward Ysabel and Beatrice abruptly, pleading, “Ysabel, albeit I'm a distant relative, I'm still your uncle. Please ask Mr. Campbell to let me off the hook.”

A look of pity appeared on Ysabel’s face as she pulled on Donald's sleeve gently.
