Chapter 1339

The Huber family's staff didn't know exactly what had happened, but you didn't need to be Sherlock Holmes to see it:

The boss was furious today. And not just your average mad-he was nuclear.

Janelle heard the commotion and rushed over.

"I'll go check on him. Please, let me in to see him," she pleaded.

"You're not going in either!" Richard barked.

Janelle's voice cracked as she cried, "What, you're just going to leave him in there to rot?"

"If he wants to rot in there, I won't even give him the chance! Our family has always been respectable-how did we end up with such a screw-up for a son?”

"If he refuses to marry Beatrix, then call the cops! Let them come and haul him off!"

Janelle nearly collapsed at those words, only staying upright because Elysia and Winona grabbed her arms just in time.

Janelle sobbed, "You can't do that! He's your flesh and blood! If the police take him, he's finished. His whole life-ruined!"
