Just like that, Mr. Zink was brought to a storeroom at the end of the hallway by Tina and Dan.
"What did the old geezer say?" Dan pressed Mr. Zink onto a chair with a remote expression. "Spill, and my mother and I will spare your life. Otherwise…"
He smirked. "You know the drill."
This was the first time Mr. Zink had such an encounter. He was so scared that he stuttered, "What…do you guys want?"
"Tell us everything that old geezer told you!"
Dan and Tina were so fierce and cold-blooded that they terrified Mr. Zink. He knew if he did not tell the truth, they would never let him go easily. Therefore, without any choice, he repeated the conversation between him and Senior Howard to them.
Nonetheless, he did not tell them everything. He did not tell them about the recording, nor did he tell them that Senior Howard had left two mansions and a company for them.
Once Mr. Zink finished, the mother-and-son pair exchanged looks with each other. Their eyes were filled with despair and anger. In the end, they threatened Mr. Zink with his family and his reputation, and they disallowed him to draft out the will.
Only when Mr. Zink promised to follow their instructions did they escort him out of the hospital.
"That old geezer!" Once Mr. Zink left, Dan slammed his hand angrily on the table. His eyes were filled with anger. "We've accompanied him for so many years, and now he wants to give everything to that bastard Thomas!"
