Chapter 99: Aunt Orchid Calls

Faced with apologies from Elena and Martin, Tina remained unmoved, her face devoid of any unnecessary expression. However, when it came to Andrew, she finally spoke, "Regarding the incident last time, there was no evidence and no arrest warrant, and your summoning me to assist in the investigation was standard protocol. You are an upright person, so after you were suspended, I didn't make things difficult for the Heisler family."

Andrew's mouth twitched slightly. You didn't make things difficult, but your fiancé did! The Heisler family's business had already taken a hit last time, although Jared only intended to teach them a lesson. This time, Jared showed no mercy, aiming to bankrupt the Heisler family.

However, Andrew didn't voice these thoughts. They were there to apologize, not to cast blame.

Tina's eyes lifted slightly, and with her pale, delicate hand, she tucked a strand of hair that had fallen on her cheek behind her ear, speaking unhurriedly, "Mr. Heisler, do you still remember how you got to your current position?" Andrew was shaken, looking at Tina in shock, struggling to find words.

He remembered, of course, he did! The Heisler family's current position wasn't earned through his parents' efforts, nor by his own endeavors. Instead, the Heisler family had been supported and raised to their current status.

They didn't know the identity of their benefactor, but after raising the Heisler family to their current position, they were left with a warning: not to use their power to oppress ordinary people, to do good deeds, and to forge good karma. If the Heisler family did evil, someone would take away everything they had.

Not only Andrew but his parents were also stunned by Tina's words.

After a while, Orson, with a hoarse voice and feeling a chill running down his spine, asked, "Miss Reed, who are you?"

Tina didn't answer him but instead took a ring out of her pocket and put it on.

Seeing the ring, Orson's legs nearly gave out, and he almost knelt down, but a look from Tina allowed him to barely stand firm.

"Master Se..."

He began to speak but suddenly realized something and hastily fell silent.

Tina glanced at him coldly, expressionlessly saying, "I hope this is the last time."

"Yes, yes, we understand, it won't happen again," Orson said, his voice dry.
