“Impressive. Three years in prison, and now you even dare to talk back to me.”

Franklin had no idea what Sierra had gone through in those three years, but they had investigated everything.

Franklin shot Bradley a glare, but his attention stayed on Sierra.

As he answered, his expression quickly turned grim.

Franklin’s face darkened.

He no longer had time to deal with Sierra. He immediately called for Bradley to follow him. This was a crisis. They needed to meet with the shareholders immediately.
