From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent

Chapter 517

"Mr. Morris! The construction accident on the north site-someone fell to their death. The family's gone public, and now the authorities have shut down all work!"

"Mr. Morris! The Revenue Office says we're under investigation for tax evasion. They want your full cooperation!"

By noon, Daly Morris looked like he'd aged a decade.
