Chapter 24: Chapter 23: Norman Bennett

"Hey, Mr. President, it’s Cari, about the vice president..."

Cari carefully explained the situation to Cameron Southwell, hinting at the loss of money, but Cameron’s angry shouts still came from the other end of the line.

"You prodigal son! Don’t think I don’t know, you must’ve gambled it away again. Where is he? Get him to answer the phone!" Cameron was nearly bursting with anger, and even though the Southwell Family had some wealth, they couldn’t withstand Shane’s wastefulness.

And the matter of Shane embezzling two million in company funds had just been covered up, and now this!

Cari held the phone a bit away from her ear, awkwardly saying, "Mr. President, the vice president is not in a good position to take the call."

It’s not just inconvenient, Shane can’t take it at all; he had several teeth knocked out and finds it hard to speak.

Even if he recovers, he probably won’t grow new teeth and will need implants.

The thought of the usually cool and handsome Shane grinning with a mouthful of shiny gold teeth made her want to laugh.

"Speak up! Why can’t he answer my call? He’s got the guts to spend, but not to face the consequences!" Cameron’s anger made him curse even himself.

Cari quickly composed herself and said softly, "Mr. President, yesterday the vice president was..." She hesitated for a moment.

It was Norman Bennett’s people, and with the Bennett Group backing him, even telling Cameron would be pointless.

Cameron: "What happened? Don’t speak so hesitantly!"

"The vice president was beaten up by Norman Bennett’s people yesterday, and he’s currently at North City Central Hospital," Cari had no choice but to tell the truth.

Cameron: "What? Norman Bennett?"

He sounded surprised but then realized it wasn’t all that strange.

Cameron already guessed it was about that girl Elliana Lyle.

After all, Elliana’s pursuit of Shane was widely known across the country.
