    Chapter 67 Appreciation


    “Squad Leader, to be honest, mypany is in trouble too. If I can’t ovee this crisis, I’m afraid I


    will go bankrupt. Therefore, I would only be impeding his career by hiring him,” Franklin confessed with


    a sigh.


    Feeling embarrassed, Gary said, “Franklin, I’m sorry to have made trouble for you. Anyway, don’t worry


    about Jared. Instead, what problems are yourpany facing?”


    “Our problems? Can you solve them?” Frieda sneered.


    “I…” Gary blushed in humiliation.


    “Shut up!” Franklin red at Frieda before saying apologetically, “Squad Leader, ignore her bitchiness.


    Mypany has dealings with morous Designs. Unfortunately, they have stopped supplying goods


    to us, causing our cash flow to be stuck. Consequently, I don’t know how long I can hold out for. As for


    finding Jared a job, I’ll get Maria to check with herpany, since it’s a conglomerate and it provides


    good benefits. Jared can slowly work his way up from the bottom.”


    Visibly upset by Franklin’s words, Maria retorted, “Dad, I’m nothing but a salesperson. I don’t have such


    authority at all. You’d better not cause me any trouble.”


    “You might not be able to do so, but isn’t Zayne the sales manager? Can’t he hire just one person?”


    Franklin demanded.


    “He—”


    Before Maria could finish, Franklin threatened, “Enough! This is how it’s going to be. If Zayne doesn’t


    have the capability to do it, I will have to reconsider hispatibility with you.”


    Maria fell silent in response. All she could do was pout in anger.


    “Franklin, it took a lot of effort for Maria to join thatpany. Aren’t you just causing unnecessary


    trouble for her? Besides, does thatpany even ept ex-convicts in the first ce?” Frieda


    remonstrated with Franklin after shooting Jared a nce.


    Despite feeling upset at being called an ex-convict, Jared kept his temper in check. After all, he felt that


    Franklin was a good man.


    “Dad, let me be frank here. I’ll get him in the door, but whether or not he can pass the interview will be


    up to his own capabilities.”


    Maria rolled her eyes before returning to her bedroom.


    “Squad Leader, please don’t mind her attitude. That girl has a really nasty attitude,” Franklin exined


    to Gary awkwardly.


    Gary smiled wryly in response. Given the dire circumstances, he was in no position to be upset about


    her unfriendly attitude.


    “Franklin, I appreciate what you have done. Anyway, I have something on, and I’ll have to take my


    leave.”


    Gary was cognizant that there was no point in staying any longer. Thest thing he wanted was to


    cause trouble for Franklin and his family.


    “Squad Leader, why don’t we have lunch first, as I have already made reservations,” Franklin added


    quickly.


    “It’s all right. Next time, perhaps.” Gary waved his hand.


    At the same time, Jared helped Hannah up.


    N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.


    Despite being aware of his wife and daughter’s hostility to his guests, there was little Franklin could do


    about it other than smile apologetically. “When the opportunity arises, the two of us should have a drink


    together.”


    When Franklin escorted his guests out, Frieda sat on the sofa and couldn’t be bothered.


    “Mr. Saunders, what’s the name of thepany that owed you money?” Jared asked the moment he


    walked out the door.


    “It’s called morous Designs. Do you know anyone there?” Franklin asked out of curiosity.


    Jared shook his head. “No, but I’ll try and collect the money for you.”


    “I appreciate the thought, but you’d better not do anything illegal after having just been released.


    Instead, just take good care of your parents. As for my problems, you don’t have to worry about it.”


    Thinking that Jared was probably a gangster, Franklin assumed that he was going to collect the debt by


    force. After all, Jared had just been released from prison.
