Chapter 881 Arrogance
“Tristan, get the car ready. We will go to the Chance family’s village now!”
Samuel was furious.
Very soon, the car was ready. Tristan was with Theodore in the car as well.
“Mr. Bailey, why are you so angry? Did something happen?” asked Theodore in puzzlement.
Samuel began sharing with him what Jared had told him. That caused Tristan to speed up his driving.
Deep in his heart, he cursed and swore at Steve Thompson over and over again. It took the Baileys so much effort before they could establish a good relationship with Jared. Yet, Steve had accused Jared of stealing his car.
On the other end, Jared waited patiently once he was done with the phone call. He knew that Samuel would arrive very soon.
“What’s wrong? Are you acting cool? What did Mr. Bailey say?” Steve’s son, Herman Thompson sneered at Jared.
“Mr. Bailey will be here very soon,” said Jared calmly.
“Did you say that Mr. Bailey will be here in a while?”
When Steve heard that, he was taken aback. However, he regained his composure very quickly and snorted, “Good. If Mr. Bailey isn’t here within the next half an hour, you are going to jail. How dare you steal things from the Bailey family.”
In that instant, the atmosphere in the private room became a little awkward. No one uttered a single word. Hannah was looking at Jared with worry.
Gary, on the other hand, appeared very calm and continued to smoke his cigarette.
Half an hour flew by. Steve took one look at his watch and said, “Take him away!”
A few men in uniform walked toward Jared.
“Steve, I beg of you. Please… Don’t let them take Jared away!”
When Hannah saw that Jared was about to be arrested, she got down on her knees in front of Steve.
“Mom, don’t kneel…”
Jared immediately went and held Hannah up.
“Hannah, I can’t let him go just because he’s related to me. Your son has stolen things from other people. Rightfully, he should be arrested. I can’t do anything even if you kneel down and beg me,” said Steve arrogantly.
Just as Hannah was going to beg Steve for mercy again, the door of the private room opened.
Three men walked in. Samuel was right in front, followed by Tristan and Theodore.
When Steve and Herman saw Samuel walk in, they were stunned. They really did not expect him to be there.
“Mr. Bailey…”
Steve hurriedly went up to greet them.
“Move! Make way…”
Herman also yelled at those local officials to give up their seats for Samuel.
Steve went up to Samuel with a smiling face, but Samuel ignored him. Instead, Samuel walked up to Jared and said, “Mr. Chance, I’m so sorry about all these. I didn’t expect such a thing to occur when I lent you my car…”
Jared merely gave a polite smile without saying anything.
Steve was taken aback by what Samuel had said. The smile froze on his face, and he stared at Jared in disbelief.
He could not understand why the head of the Bailey family of Jadeborough would be so polite to someone like Jared and even addressed him as Mr. Chance.
What’s going on?
Just as Steve was wondering what was going on, Tristan gave him a tight slap across his face and yelled at him, “How dare you accuse Mr. Chance of stealing the car? Grandpa has lent Mr. Chance his car. In fact, it will be an honor for the Baileys to even gift the car to Mr. Chance.”
That slap was so violent. If Herman had not been standing next to his father, Steve would have landed on the floor.
“Are you Steve Thompson from Jazona?” asked Samuel with a face full of rage.
Steve held his face and nodded.
