Chapter 941 Please Let Me In
J couldn''t help but worry when she saw this. She peered at the pregnant woman through the
ss door.
"How unfortunate. She looks like she might give birth at any moment, but here she is, obliged to join
her husband''s pointless demonstration."
Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!
J turned to look at Este, who was leaning against the ss door to get a better view of the
commotion outside. It seemed that she couldn''t bear to see the pregnant woman endure such
hardship, either. "She must be so miserable, being married to a man like Jethro. At this rate, I''m
afraid that the baby can no longer be saved."
J considered their options and made a decision.
"Let the pregnant woman in," she ordered. "We have no idea when the paramedics will get here.
She needs a proper rest in the meantime. Once the ambnce arrives, we shall assist them in
loading her up."
"Think this over carefully," Este immediately cautioned. "If anything happens to that woman while
she is inside this building, the Larson Group will have to take responsibility. Even if we are not guilty
of anything, I''m sure Jethro will kick up a fuss and pin the me on thepany." Although she
had never experienced something like this before, she was sharp enough to recognize the risks that
the circumstances entailed.
"I will bear the consequences," J dered, her expression grim. She couldn''t just stand by and
watch the pregnant woman suffer.
Dark clouds soon gathered above them. Lightning streaked through the sky just a few seconds
before the heavens burst into a heavy downpour.
Without giving it a second thought, J turned to the security guard at the door and said, "Tell the
pregnant woman toe in and take shelter from the rain. We''ll send her out when the ambnce
is here."
"But Mr. Larson has ordered that none of Jethro''s people is allowed to step foot into the building." To
his credit, the guard kept to themand that he was given and did act rashly.
As the rain pelted the pavement, J grew more agitated. "Look, I''ll take responsibility, okay? I''ll
make sure you won''t get scolded for this. These people have been out there for a long time, and the
pregnant woman has already fainted. If the media gets wind of this situation, it will only cause
another tide of negative opinion from the public."
In truth, the security guard was also feeling sorry for the pregnant woman. His wife had just given
birth, too, so he was doubly sympathetic. After hearing J''s reassurance, he cast his hesitations
away.
He proceeded to gather some of his teammates from security and instructed them to carry the
pregnant woman into the building. He was just about to close the door when Jethro suddenly
rushed over, trying to squeeze through the gap.
"Step away! We''re only taking the woman in, no one else!" The security guard barked angrily,
outraged by Jethro''sck of discretion.
"Who knows what you''ll do to my wife? That woman is carrying my child! I have to be by her side
and take care of her!" Jethro was drenched. His hair and clothes were stuck to his body, making him
look like some seedy rat from the sewers.
The security guard looked back at J and waited for her order.
Jethro turned to her as well. "Mrs. Larson!" he cried out as he fell to his knees. "Please let me in, so
I can keep my wifepany. I''m really worried. She''s about to give birth!"
"You''ll only stir up trouble if youe inside," J said patiently. "I have to take care of the
interests of the Larson Group and all the employees here before anything else. I''m sorry, but I can''t
let you in. Don''t worry; we won''t do anything to your wife. You can watch over her through the ss
door."
But Jethro rubbed his palms together and kept begging. "Why would I make trouble at a time like
this? Please, if you don''t believe me, I am willing to swear upon anything you want. I just want my
wife and child to be safe. Here, look! I swear that I will never cause any trouble in the Larson Group
again." Never again? That was a rather bold choice of words, and the promise certainly carried
some weight.
J held out her hand and borrowed the recorder pen from Este. "In order to keep you from
going back on your word, I want you to swear here and now that you will ept thepensation
offered by the Larson Group, and you won''t hold any protests in the future. You must also promise
to never spread any false rumors against the Larson Group again."
Jethro was visibly stunned, and his eyes shed with cunning. He didn''t expect J to entrap him
like this. He needed to enter the building, though. To do that, he had no choice but to agree to
everything she said, on the record.
After getting what she wanted, J put the device away and signaled at the security guard. "Let
him in."
