As soon as Don Albert spoke, Jacob’s face lit up with excitement.
ire addressed her phone, saying, “Actually, it’s nothing serious; it just involves my father-inw. He stepped down from the Calligraphy and Painting Association a while back. You’re aware of this, right?”
Don Albert, already in the loop, responded, “Yes, I’ve heard about it. It appears that Mr. Willson resigned of his own ord.”
Jacob, hearing this, reacted with indignation: “Master Don Albert, I’m Jacob. I need to rify that I did not resign voluntarily. The guy named Pei set a trap for me. He deceived me into pretending to resign. I submitted a resignation letter as a mere formality, but to my surprise… after I sent it, Pei approved it, leaving me no chance to back out. He’s utterly shameless!”
Feigning surprise, Don Albert replied, “Is that true? Pei really went too far.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Jacob, feeling understood, eximed, “Mr. Don Albert, you’re absolutely right! He’spletely overstepped! Please help me with this!”
Don Albert responded directly, “Don’t worry, Mr. Willson. Since you are Master Wade’s father-inw, I will certainly take charge of this situation. Just wait, I’ll call Pei right now to find out what’s going on!”<fndfa7> N?w ?ovel chapt?rs are published on FindN()vel</fndfa7>
“Alright, alright!” Jacob felt a wave of relief wash over him as Don Albert took the reins. He quickly said, “I’ll leave everything in your capable hands, Master Wu!”
Don Albert smiled and replied, “You’re too kind, Mr. Willson. I’ll reach out to him and get to the bottom of this.” After
Don Albert hung up, Jacob finally let out a sigh of relief. He remarked, “Good son-inw, it seems that Master Don Albert is indeed looking out for you. If he steps in to help me, I might actually have a chance to return to the Calligraphy and Painting Association.”
ire nodded in agreement, saying, “He holds considerable influence in Aurous Hill. Since he’s willing to help, let’s wait for his update.”
Jacob nodded in affirmation, “Alright! I’m looking forward to good news from Master Don Albert!”
…
At that moment, Don Albert was already dialing Chairman Pei’s mobile number.
Before Chairman Pei decided to dismiss Jacob, he had specifically contacted Don Albert for guidance. He had noted down Don Albert’s number during that conversation. So when he received a call from him now, he was quite taken aback.
Despite his confusion about why Don Albert was calling, he recognized Don Albert’s high social standing and significant influence, so he quickly answered the call with respect: “Master, how may I assist you?”
Don Albert, in a stern tone, immediately asked, “Mr. Pei, why have I heard that you terminated Jacob?”
Chairman Pei’s heart raced upon hearing this, and he stammered, “Master Wu, I thought I had exined this when Ist reported to you… Jacob was somewhat confused and caused a major scandal, which put me under a lot of pressure. Then, he submitted a resignation email, and I approved his request. I truly had no other choice.”
Fearing Don Albert’s response, Chairman Pei quickly added, “By the way, Master, I did consult with you about whether I should protect Jacob, and you said it was none of your business, so I…”
Don Albert caught on to the implications of his words immediately and responded coldly: “Mr. Willson is your colleague and friend. Why would you need to ask me about protecting him? We aren’t familiar.”
He pressed on, “And why does my information contradict yours? I’ve heard that Mr. Willson never intended to resign and that you tricked him into writing a resignation letter. After he submitted it, you turned your back and actually fired him! How do you exin this?”
