Chapter 879 Boasting
Around ten minutes later, Steve and Herman returned to the room with their faces covered in sweats.
“How could it be? Why can’t we find him?” Steve frowned.
“Dad, do you think Mr. Bailey is here for a secret visit after finding out about our investment in building a tourist attraction here?” Herman analyzed.
“It’s possible.” Steve shivered, and he was having cold sweat. If Mr. Bailey is here for a secret visit, he’s going to find out about it. By then, we’re doomed.
Their company was merely a subsidiary of the Baileys in Jadeborough. The reason why Steve chose to build a tourist attraction was that he wanted to get more personal benefits from it.
“Herman, quickly send some men to continue looking for him and get them to check the surveillance cameras as well. We need to know where Mr. Bailey went.” At that point, Steve was in no mood to entertain the people in the room. All he wanted to do was to find Samuel.
“Steve, what are you guys looking for? Do you need our help?” Hannah suddenly asked.
Upon hearing that, a realization dawned upon Steve. “Hannah, since you guys were here early, have you seen where the man in the Rolls-Royce went?”
“Rolls-Royce?” Hannah had no idea what car that was.
Steve then hurriedly dragged Hannah toward the window and pointed at the Rolls-Royce. “Can you see that black car?”
“Oh! That car? We came in that car,” Hannah took a glance at the car and answered.
Although Hannah knew they came in that car, she had no idea how much it was worth.
“What? You guys came in that car?” Bewilderment was written all over Steve’s face.
“How could that be? That’s Mr. Bailey’s car! Do you know that the car is worth almost ten million? Even if you guys were to sell off everything you guys own, there’s still no way you guys could afford it. What a lousy liar!” Herman snorted and uttered disrespectfully. He had totally disregarded Hannah as his elder.
Jared furrowed his brows when he saw that attitude of Herman’s. In fact, anger was starting to creep into his eyes.
“Ten million?” Hannah gasped and asked Jared, “Jared, you said you’ve borrowed that car from a friend, right? Is that car really that expensive?”
“Mom, I borrowed it from a friend, but I don’t know what it is worth,” Jared explained.
“Bullshit!” Herman cursed as soon as he heard Jared’s explanation. “That’s Mr. Bailey’s car! How is it possible that he’d lent it to you? Also, how is Mr. Bailey your friend? You’re talking nonsense! You stole the car, didn’t you?”
Hannah’s face went pale when she heard Herman accusing Jared. “Herman, you can’t throw your baseless accusation around. How could you say Jared had stolen the car? It’s against the law to steal!” That car is worth up to ten million! If Jared had stolen the car, he could be in big trouble.
Herman glared at Jared and uttered, “Baseless? Why do I need proof? If you guys came in that car, then I’m sure he’d stolen it. How dare you steal from the Baileys from Jadeborough? You’ve got balls, all right! I guess you’re going back to jail for sure.” Herman was rather excited at that point. If I can be the one who found the car, the Baileys are going to be so grateful to me!
“Hannah, haven’t I told you before? You should’ve taught your son better! What are you going to do now? His crime is so grave this time around that we can’t even help him!” Steve said to Hannah before turning toward Zaire and instructed, “Mr. Cook, we have a car thief here. Go and call someone here to deal with him.”
“Sure!” Zaire quickly whipped out his phone and called someone.
“Steve, Jared said he borrowed it! Didn’t you hear him?” Hannah defended Jared anxiously upon seeing that they’d instructed someone to arrest him.
“Hannah, I’m not as silly as you, okay? How could Jared possibly manage to borrow such an expensive car from Jadeborough? Who are you kidding?” Steve retorted coldly.
