The War God's Homecoming

Chapter 54 Gilbert's Despair

"What are you doing?" Harleen was startled by the commotion.

"Harleen, we were wrong before. Please forgive us this time. We won't do it again.” Robert spoke uf "Please get up!" Harleen instinctively looked at Billy. She had a suspicion that Billy had done something, otherwise her grandfather and uncle's family wouldn't have begged her like this. "Harleen, we won't get up until yo promise us.” Zeph spoke while taking a 5 million dollar check from Robert's hand.

"This is your 20% share of dividends for the past five years. I'll give it to you now. In addition, you can come back to work in the group as Vice President of Marketing tomorrow.”

Upon hearing this, Beatrice who was kneeling behind him flashed a hint of resentment in her eyes but did not act out.

"Tell me what happened, Grandpa.”

"Take it, Harleen!" Billy then looked at Zeph and asked, "Do you believe me now?"

"It's my fault for being confused and not recognizing you, Mr Gardner. Please forgive me this time." Zeph pled.

“5 million is dividends, what about 20% share discount?" asked Billy.

"Please give me some time to prepare the money, the group can't come up with so much cash right away. And... and also tomorrow both Harleen and Fletcher can return to work in the group. We can discuss about it later...”

“So does that mean you don't plan on discounting?" questioned Billy.

Billy was well aware of the little thoughts in Zeph's mind. It wasn't that the company didn't have money, but rather that they were worried that if they gave Harleen the money, their contract with Ozin Tower would be invalidated again, leaving them with nothing to show for it.

"They'll get the money back eventually, we just need some time." Zeph quickly replied.

do you think, Harleen?" Billy didn't press further and turned his attention to Harleen instead. After all, Zeph was Harleen's grandfather and he couldn't push him too hard. It was up to Harleen tc make a decision

Both Carly and the receptionist was immersed in great remorse and shock. In that second, Gilbert, the eldest son of the Guerrero family, rushed downstairs with sweats covering his face. He had followed everyone out of the office, but there were too many people and he didn't make it onto either elevator. In the end, he had to run down the stairs. "Mr-Mr Gardner, I'm sorry.
