You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 212

The only thing he was worried about was his mother, Loraine, rejecting his decision. Not only was Cecilia a prostitute, but she was also much older than him as well, so his mother would definitely disagree with their relationship. He still depended on his mother, so he had to reveal the matter later on.

One night, Sam brought a few bottles of wine and some dishes to Tommy's place for a hangout session. As they were drinking, Sam suddenly brought up a matter about his business, "Mr. Tommy, I heard a small piece of news about why your nightclub had been closed down. I'm just not sure if it's true or not."

"Tell me about it," Tommy felt embarrassed to not have any money with him. He stayed home to scroll the Internet every day and had no idea about what was happening outside.

"I heard that your nightclub was closed down because of your partner. Your partner had offended someone he shouldn't, so they deliberately chose to shut down the nightclub."

"No way. Who told you that?" Tommy was in disbelief. His partner was Deborah's friend.

Who would dare to offend a friend of Steven Cook of San Fetillo?

"I heard it from Mr. Brendon's subordinates," Sam replied.

"Mr. Brendon? Why haven't I heard of this name?"

"You hadn't been out recently, so of course you don't know who Mr. Brendon is. Mr. Brendon is someone who came to San Fetillo from the capital city recently. He works in an important department, but he accidentally created some trouble and came here to hide," Sam explained. "Mr. Brendon was extravagant. Every time he went out, he would be accompanied by a dozen bodyguards and he would only spend money at the Golden Age Group. Edric Myers and the security head, Director Lewis, are full of smiles whenever they see him." He must be someone that both Edric and Director Lewis respected. Tommy believed him and asked, "How did you get to know his subordinates?"

"They needed some contacts when they came to San Fetillo. Eugene from the Golden Age Group was looking for people, and I'm on good terms with his nephew. That was how I got introduced."

Sam explained further, "Mr. Brendon said that San Fetillo was a good place. He wanted to set up a stronghold here, and he happened to be interested in your closed down nightclub. Then, he planned to clear it and rebuild the shop. Since he was planning to do so, he asked around why your shop was sealed up in the first place. People from the capital city really are a different breed. They have so many connections!"

"D*mn it, I was wondering why I was so unlucky. It turns out to be because of this. Do you know who the culprit is?"

"They didn't say so. However, they're saying that Logan Wheeler wasn't the real owner. The true investor was Mr. Cook's wife. After the nightclub was closed down, Mr. Cook went to find someone and found out that his wife had invested in it. In the end, the investment funds by Mr. Cook's wife were returned to him. You can only consider yourself unlucky for not getting a penny back."

Loraine was unsatisfied upon hearing the matter, but she was afraid that her son would act arrogantly because he was young. She shook her head and said, "Deborah helped me when I was at my lowest.
