    Don Albert spoke with a touch of coldness in his tone: “Mr. Willson, your actions are truly disgraceful. As soon as I discovered what had transpired, I reprimanded Zhang Ermao (Cade) and instructed him to post about it on that social circle!”


    Changkun, taken aback, asked, “Master, why are you and Zhou Liangyun close friends?”


    Don Albert replied, “I have no friendship with Zhou Liangyun.”


    Puzzled, Changkun quickly inquired, “Then why are you pursuing Zhou Liangyun?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Don Albert responded coldly, “For the past two years, I have been diligently working to improve my reputation. I rarely involve myself in worldly matters and avoid illegal dealings. Now, everyone in Jinling knows that Zhang Ermao (Cade) is under my mentorship, yet he engages in such disgraceful acts behind my back. Doesn’t that reflect poorly on me?”<fn1c12> For more chapters visit f?ndnovel</fn1c12>


    Jacob was taken aback by the seriousness of Don Albert’s words. Shocked, he quickly replied, “I apologize, Mr. Albert. I really didn’t anticipate this situation would adversely affect you. It’s entirely my fault. Zhang Ermao! I wasn’t even aware of Zhou Liangyun’s return; he approached me and initiated this n. I was deceived by him. You must help me!”


    Don Albert maintained hisposure and said, “Mr. Willson, I have already taken action against Zhang Ermao (Cade), and he has apologized to Zhou Liangyun. I have resolved this matter. What else can I do for you?”


    Jacob pleaded urgently, “Fifth Master, I am under immense pressure right now. For the sake of my son-inw Charlie, please, I need your help in getting Zhang Ermao (Cade) to absolve me of this issue. Otherwise, I could be facing serious trouble or even arrest…”


    Don Albert replied, “Mr. Willson, while I hold Master Wade in high regard, I cannot act hically in this situation.”


    Overwhelmed with despair, Jacob choked up and begged, “Fifth Master, I implore you for assistance. If you don’t help me, I’m truly finished…”


    After a moment of silence, Don Albert sighed, “Alright! For the sake of Master Wade, I will assist you this time.”


    Jacob felt a wave of relief wash over him, his body suddenly invigorated. He quickly expressed, “Thank you, Fifth Master! Thank you!”


    Don Albert cautioned, “Don’t rush to thank me. Although I can help, my assistance has limits. I can’t entirely absolve you and ce all the me on Zhang Ermao (Cade). After all, he is my younger brother. If I force him to take the fall for you, how would I maintain my credibility with my other subordinates?”


    Jacob’s heart sank once more, and he anxiously asked, “What can you do? How will you help me?”


    Don Albert exined, “I can reach out to the police. This incident took ce on Antique Street, and we should handle it there, avoiding esction to a legal issue. At the very least, this means you won’t end up in jail.”


    Jacob’s spirits lifted again at the thought of not facing incarceration.


    While losing his reputation and job would be tough, he wouldn’t lose his freedom.


    Just when he felt a glimmer of hope, Don Albert added, “However, there are conditions for my help. You must agree to them for me to assist you; otherwise, you’re on your own.”


    Jacob quickly responded, “Mr. Albert, please tell me what you need. I will agree to anything I can!”


    Don Albert stated, “While I can prevent this from escting beyond Antique Street, you still need to resolve the issue there. Therefore, I require you to personally apologize to Zhou Liangyun and refund the 300,000 yuan you made from him as soon as possible.”


    Upon hearing this, Jacob felt overwhelmed and protested with deep grievance, “Fifth Master… Zhou Liangyun has already profited 19.7 million yuan. Must I really refund him 300,000 yuan?”


    Don Albert rified, “His earnings are his concern. What matters is that you gained that 300,000 yuan through deceit, do you understand?”
