Chapter 587: Visiting the Pace Family

As dawn broke, Jared opened his eyes and dialed Nathan's number on his phone. Soon after, Nathan drove over and picked them up from their night by the sea.

"Mr. Farrell, where are we headed?" Nathan asked, focusing on his duties as usual, without questioning why.

Jared twirled a strand of Tina's hair, "To the office."

Tina yawned, "I'm going back to sleep."

After dropping Tina off, Nathan drove to the office. Inside the chairman's office, someone had already been silently waiting.

Jared opened the door and greeted, "Boss."

The person in the chair turned around, a specially made cane in hand, "Mr. Chairman, long time no see."

Jared curved his lips into a smile and led Christopher to the couch, pouring him a tea personally, "How have you been?"

Christopher skipped the pleasantries, engaging in casual conversation with Jared, "Pretty good. These days, all I do is eat and sleep. I've gotten so lazy I hardly bother exercising anymore. My legs aren't what they used to be." Jared chuckled, responding briefly before asking, "Who is Romer?"

Christopher's hand paused with the teacup, a shadow of ambiguity crossing his eyes, "Why do you ask?"

"Just curious," Jared said lightly.

Christopher hesitated, then set down his cup, "Jared, I know you don't trust anyone in the bureau right now, but I can assure you, there's absolutely no issue with Romer. He is someone I, and your master, including Linden, deeply respect." Jared's brow subtly furrowed. If Christopher spoke so highly of him, then Linden hadn't lied. Romer was a deeply entrenched figure.
