    Ken clutched his face and looked at Jason in disbelief. It was the first time he had ever been hit. “Dad…”


    “Im not your Dad! You’re no longer my son if you don’t apologize to Mr. Tate now!” Jason was firm.


    He could tell that George had a soft spot for Milly. No wonder he had been waiting at the door without leaving.


    If he couldn’t get Ken to give up, the Fitzgeralds might as well file for bankruptcy first thing in the morning.


    However, Ken, who was in his rebellious stage, didn’t see it that way. Apologizing in front of the diva would make him die in embarrassment.


    “I won’t do that!” He yelled and ran away.


    “Get back here, brat!”


    Jason tried to chase after him, but Ken was already out of sight.


    At this point, George’s eyes had turned cold, his earlier good mood waspletely gone.


    He was in a good mood because Milly had said that she liked him. It was a melody to his ears regardless of


    the truth.


    Now, he felt furious as someone was eyeing her.


    Jason wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, instinctively knowing that what was about to happen would be unbearable.


    He had to save the Fitzgeralds. He couldn’t let his family’s legacy end in his hands.


    Suppressing his fear, Jason pleaded with George. “Mr. Tate, it’s my fault for


    not raising that brat properly. Don’t worry, I’ll send him abroad tonight to a boarding school where he won’t get toe back these few years! He’ll never


    It was strange. Even though he was two decades older than George, he was utterly crushed by his presence.


    George coldly raised an eyebrow. “These few years?”


    Seeing George’s dissatisfaction, Jason quickly added, “Mr. George, it’s not an issue. During these years, I’l! expand our market abroad and keep him th


    no, special forces to follow him around. If he even thinks about approaching this youngdy again, I’ll break his legs


    immediately, including his third one!”


    The third leg too?


    Milly was shocked at Jason’s will to keep his family business,


    It worked! George’s expression improved significantly, and he nodded reluctantly. “Mhm.”


    To Jason, it sounded like music from the heavens.

    Milly slung her backpack over her shoulder and tried to walk past him. “No thanks. I’ll take a cab.”

    Every time George spoke, she remembered those embarrassing statements she had made earlier. She wouldn’t hold back and choke him to death if the


    She hadn’t even started college or won any acting awards yet. She didn’t want to go to jail before achieving those things.


    Milly sighed in relief as George didn’t stop her.


    She hadn’t walked far when she heard him say, “Mr. Fitzgerald, does this room have surveince cameras? Please send me a copy of the footage.”


    Jason immediately responded, “Yes, I’ll contact the securities right away.”


    Milly stopped dead in her tracks. She bit her lip as she cursed George in her heart.


    He was tantly threatening her. By asking for the surveince, he clearly intended to use it to show her grandpa and parents. She wouldn’t be able to e


    “Are you threatening me?” Milly turned to re at him like an angry pufferfish.


    George didn’t seem to notice her anger, exining as a matter–of–


    factly, “Are you kidding me? The Tates and the Fitzgeralds are business partners. Understanding each other’s operations and checking surveince is a

    Milly was at a loss for words.


    Liars!


    Although she hadn’t been a CEO, she’d acted in many corporate dramas and worked in severalpanies. She knew enough to know that no one chec


    Do they think that I’m an idiot?


    George nced at her and urged Jason, “Mr. Fitzgerald, I’m on a tight schedule and have a video conferenceing up. Please get the surveince fo


    “Of course, right away.”


    Milly gritted her teeth and said, “Take me home instead of doing that.”


    Since it was a free ride, why not enjoy it? It might be awkward, but it’s alright as long as I’m not feeling embarrassed.


    George’s expression finally softened a bit.


    Just then, he noticed the small gift box on the table. It was a long box, wrapped in old–fashioned wrapping


    paper.


    Recalling Milly wishing Ken “Hanny Birthday” just now, it wasn’t hard to guess what this was.

    George walked over, picked up the box, and tore off the wrapping paper.

    A silver fountain pen was lying inside the box. It wasn’t anything fancy. It looked in and simple but he


    wanted it.


    Before he realized it, he’d already pocketed the pen and swapped it with the gold one he usually used to sign documents.


    “You…” Milly frowned at his actions. “That was Ken’s birthday gift!”


    George’s expression turned cold again. “You gave it to him?”


    Milly didn’t even have the time to nod before Jason cut her off, “Haha, my son can’t even write properly. It’s a waste to give him a pen. Mr. Tate, you shou

    Milly was speechless.


    Even Danny, who had been standing silently aside, couldn’t help but give a thumbs up.


    Jason’s ttery was amazing.
