Redmption 217
Kara nodded, “I think about this amusement park and it’s beautiful lights.” She chuckled before
tightening her grip around me. “And of course, you.”
She really knew how to tter people.
We arrived at the site where the incident had urred. Brandon climbed up to inspect the damage
and took notes as he went along.
“We’ve lost two entire sets. Each set has 22 lights in 13 different colors,” Brandon reported as he
scanned the broken lights before’ncing at the crane nearby.
Finally, he turned to Kara. “Get Mr. Gildon over here. We need to assess the damage and liability.”
Kara nodded before pulling out her phone to give Conrad a call. He arrived quickly and paused
when he
saw me.
He seemed surprised at my presence but quickly recovered and smiled. “Maddie, are you here for
ant early inspection?”
I wasn’t in charge of this project anymore, so I knew he was teasing me. However, I could tell that
he was just joking. I smiled back. “No, I’m just here to see Brandon.”
When I said that, something clearly flickered in Conrad’s eyes before he turned to Brandon. “The
construction team already informed me about the incident.”
He stopped at that statement, clearly implying that Brandon should let it slide.
I looked at Brandon and noticed his cold expression. “If they had admitted that it was their fault, then
they’re responsible for all the damages. I’ll coordinate the recements and send the invoice to
you.”

Brandon wasn’t ying along. He made it clear that he had no intention of letting this go..
Conrad was usually well–mannered. However, he seemed a little annoyed by this. “This happened
on my watch, so I’ll take the me.”
He was trying to use his authority to pressure Brandon. However, Brandon wasn’t having any of it.
“Then perhaps I should pass the invoice to you, Mr. Gildon.”
Conrad’s expression darkened, but I felt the sudden urge tough, Brandon was definitely not
ying by his rules, nor was he following the usual corporate ybook.
The tension between the two was palpable and their gazes were locked in a silent battle while
standing a step away from each other.
Kara sensed the shift in the atmosphere and nudged me nervously while tugging my sleeve.
However, | stayed silent. No matter whose side I took, someone was bound to get hurt. Besides, I
had a feeling this tension had something to do with me. So, it was best if I remained silent.
“What invoice?” Chris suddenly appeared and interrupted the standoff.
What had been a duel between the two was now bing a three–way sh.
The tension escted. Kara whispered urgently, “Maddle…”
As soon as she whispered to me, Chris called her out. Ms. Spraggins, what do you think?”
Kara flinched. Her grip on my arm tightened as she trembled. “Mr. Chris..
“Just tell the truth,” I reminded her as I gently pushed her forward.
Kara looked back at me before stepping forward to report everything honestly.
After listening, Chris looked at Brandon. “You don’t need to worry about this. I’ll handle it with your
boss.”
“I’m in charge here. So, if I say there will bepensation, then there will be.” Brandon was
unyielding.
Chris‘ eyes narrowed while a faint, mocking smile tugged at his lips. “And what if I say I’m in
charge? Are you nning to quit, or are you thinking about leaving this ce?”
He was clearly challenging Brandon, trapping Brandon in his own words.
Brandon, with his straightforward nature, couldn’t match their maniptive tactics, even if it was
Conrad. After all, Conrad was just as ruthless as anyone from the Gildon family.
After all the hard work Brandon had put in day and night plus knowing the project was nearing
completion, watching them cornering Brandon like this made me feel that Chris was being cruel. He
was just taking advantage of Brandon.
I couldn’t stand it any longer and stepped forward.
