“Are you sure you’re not going to think about it, Mr. Hopper? This is the only request I have.”

At the same time, Hank, who had been sitting aside all the time, joined the conversation with an emotionless look on his face. “If you prefer to settle this matter formally rather than privately, we could go through proper legal procedures to resolve this issue, but be warned—you’re likely going to be sentenced to jail.” Hank made himself clear that Jericho would end up behind bars if he didn’t agree with Elspeth.

Meanwhile, Jericho was seen smiling all the time, but deep down, he was cursing the two of them for putting him in a dilemma with no favorable options to him. Although Hank and Elspeth were only in their twenties, Jericho was vulnerable against their threat, which was why he didn’t dare to show his anger despite his seniority. Darn it!

Therefore, don’t even think about tampering with the contract’s content.” Hank’s last few words took the glimmer of hope that was left in Jericho, who thought he could still

Jericho chuckled and ingratiated himself with Hank. “See you, Mr. Damazio.” As soon as Hank was gone, Jericho collapsed onto his seat once again in despair. I’m through. I’m totally screwed up.
