Chapter 1943


    Once the director of the prosecutors’ office, Derrick, spoke, the expression of the young tax collector


    standing before Benita changed instantly.


    He was not the only one. The expression of the other tax collectors behind him became horrified too.


    Derrick and Gabe strode over.


    When they arrived, Derrick looked at the young tax collector and said with a sneer, “What’s the matter?


    Do you even refuse to greet your old boss now?”


    The tax collector quickly approached Derrick, bent slightly over, and said with his head down, “Hello,


    Director Crate… Why are you here, Director Crate?”


    “Do I need to inform you wherever I go?” Derrick asked bluntly.


    “No, no, no, that’s not what I meant…” The tax collector shook his head, panicked.


    Derrick looked at Benita and said with a chuckle, “Commander, this tax collector is Benny Craig. He


    used to work in the prosecutors’ office and was transferred to the taxation bureau because there was a


    shortage of staff. Now he’s a captain at the taxation bureau.”


    ”I see…” Benita nodded with a smile and looked at Benny.


    Benny only threw his weight around in front of Josef, even threatening him. He was utterly haughty.


    However, he was now a meek man with an awkward forced smile. His hands had nowhere to put as


    they rubbed together for a while before pinching the hem of his clothes. He looked like a kid about to


    get punished by his parents for making a mistake. Other tax collectors were also awkward.


    Benny was shocked. He never expected the director of the prosecutors’ office, Derrick, and Chief


    Police Wholeton to be here.


    These two people were important officials in Midwich. Though they were not top brass, the power they


    wielded was intimidating enough. Moreover, they seemed to know the chairman of East World Hotel,


    Josef, very well, even calling him ”Commander”.


    What should he do now that he had offended Benita?


    Benny was already trembling at the thought, and his legs began to shake slightly.


    Benita looked at Benny for a moment before saying with a smile, ”It was just a misunderstanding. It’s


    no big deal… Don’t you think so, Benny?”


    “Yes, yes, yes. Mr. Lennon, you’re right!” Benny nodded quickly and spoke respectfully.


    The tax collectors behind Benny also forced a smile and dared not say another word.


    Cheryl was excited as she watched the scene unfold.

    Her boss was amazing, not only wealthy but also had extraordinary medical skills and an excellent


    reputation. He was well-connected at the same time. Even the chief of police and the director of the


    prosecutors’ office of Midwich were his good friends. With such a boss, she had nothing to worry about


    in the future.


    While thinking about it, Cheryl’s pretty face began to blush slightly.


    Then Benita said to Benny, Gabe, and Derrick, “It’s only right that the tax collectors from the taxation


    bureau check East World Hotel’s ounts and tax payment records. Our hotel is a privatepany, so


    we should ept inspections. Besides, we’re not afraid of it.”


    “That’s true, but Benny’s too haughty,” Derrick said indignantly, looked at Benny again, and added,


    “Benny, Mr. Lennon has a big heart and won’t take it to heart, but you can’t pretend that nothing


    happened. You better apologize to Mr. Lennon in front of me and Chief Police Wholeton.”


    Benny dared not refuse. He quickly nodded to Benita and made amends.


    “I’m sorry. I’m sorry, Mr. Lennon. I acted like a snob. It’s my fault. I won’t dare to do it again…”
