Sergio racked his brains to try and figure out when did his family offend someone like Beryl.
“Dad, what, what should I do?” Carlito, who had initially thought that he could take charge of
everything, was so frightened that he was at a loss as to what to do. In the end, he could only wipe off
his cold sweat and look at his father for directions.
Sergio said, “What else can we do? They demanded our presence, so what other choice do we have
except to go? Heck, I think we should be heading there as soon as we can!” After a pause, he added, “I
hope it’s just a misunderstanding, and that she mistook one of our family members for someone else
who offended Beryl.”
“Yeah! Perhaps it was just a misunderstanding! We’re not idiots who would offend her willy-nilly.
Besides, didn’t you already instruct us to keep a low profile and be more mindful of the way we carry
ourselves?” The middle-aged woman from before echoed Sergio’s sentiments after some thought.
“Hey, you guys carry on with your meal. I’ll head there ande back in no time!” Carlito sighed.
helplessly and could only pray in his heart that Beryl had made a mistake.
“I’ll go with you!” After further consideration, the old man decided to apany Carlito because he still
felt very worried. They were both silent on the way to Beryl’s mansion, but they shared the same
thoughts as each other and wondered the same thing-‘How did we offend Beryl?’
s, they could not figure out what happened even when they had finally reached the gate of Beryl’s
mansion. Finally, a servant led them both over to Beryl.
“Greetings, esteemed war god!” After the two of them were brought to her, they nced at each other
before immediately bowing at ny degrees to greet her. Even so, they were more nervous than theyContent is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
had ever been.
“Straighten up!” Beryl looked at the two of them, walked to the seat opposite her, and sat down.
Though there were two seats beside her, Beryl did not grant them the luxury of sitting, which made both
Carlito and Sergio even more scared. Beryl’s cold face had already left the two of them sweating
profusely from their foreheads.
“Ma’am, may we kindly ask why you called us for an audience?” After gritting his teeth, Carlito finally
mustered up the courage to ask.
“Hehe, why, you ask? Are neither of you aware of your recent actions?” Beryl chuckled, and asked the
two of them, “Let me ask you both something. What’s the most important quality a businessman should
have?”
“Integrity!” The old man answered without being prompted.
Beryl nodded in satisfaction. “Bingo! If you know how important integrity is, then why would you
withhold your product from the person who ordered it in Brookbourn? Is that what you call ‘integrity”?”
Both father and son looked at each other in a daze, wondering why Beryl would care about such trivial
matters. After all, it was a business matter involving the Sanchezes, so there was no reason why a war
god would care about it. In addition, they were also puzzled as to how she found out about that
incident. when so few people knew about it!
