Chapter 599: Paula’s Father

As they spoke, the two arrived at the agreed-upon location. Paula was waiting outside, and she greeted them warmly as they approached. Being a daughter of the White family, her loyalties naturally lay outward. She had complete trust in Tina and Jared; otherwise, she would never have collaborated with Tina on developing a new type of bomb detector. It was largely thanks to Paula that Simons had agreed to meet this time.

"Serena, my dad came alone, without bringing the company's legal team. You guys need to do your best," Paula said, making a cheering gesture. Tina understood that Simons not bringing his legal team meant he wasn't planning to finalize anything today.

Simons himself knew that relying on the X Bureau would, sooner or later, bring trouble to the White family. Though the Whites were a public family, they lacked the venerable elders that the Brookes family had; it was only Simons holding the fort, along with Paula, a rare talent in weaponry. This was what kept the White family's status secure. However, the recent events, which had nearly cost them Paula, indicated that some were aiming at the White family. If no changes were made, the road ahead would be difficult!

Inside the teahouse, Simons sat at the table, not dressed as sharply in business attire as Tina had imagined, like Jack, but rather in casual wear, which gave him a laid-back appearance. Yet, there was a natural authority about him that commanded respect without being overt.

Paula let go of Tina's hand and walked ahead to introduce them. "Dad, this is Serena and Jared that I've told you about." Simons stood up with a warm smile and extended his hand, "Mr. Farrell, Miss Reed, it's nice to meet you." Jared shook his hand, "Mr. White, hello."

After exchanging greetings, everyone sat down. Paula tactfully remained silent, not joining the conversation, and quietly prepared tea for everyone.

Simons spoke first, "I've always heard from Paula how Miss Reed has taken good care of her. I'm sorry for not thanking you in person sooner." Tina smiled, "If apologies are needed, it should be me apologizing to Mr. White. My brother did something wrong by the White family, and I failed to supervise him properly."

Simons waved his hand, "Hayden has been like a son to me; I know what kind of person he is. He's a bit carefree but a good kid. I don't blame him for this incident." Despite his rare public appearances, Simons had managed to send Paula out and even establish contact with the Cohen family, clearly knowing their background well enough. Saying he watched Hayden grow up was no exaggeration, especially since his daughter had been chasing Hayden for years. Tina could tell that Simons thought highly of Hayden. She hadn't expected Hayden to earn his potential father-in-law's approval so soon. Her little brother indeed!

After some more casual conversation, they gradually steered the topic towards business matters. "Mr. White, about the collaboration between the Farrell Group and your company, what are your thoughts?" Jared asked. Simons crossed his hands, rubbing his thumbs against each other, "Mr. Farrell, you should know what the White family does. As a former deputy director of the X Bureau, seeking to collaborate with the White family, what exactly is your intention?" Jared was prepared for Simons to be direct, but he hadn't expected him to be quite this straightforward.

He smiled, "Money."
