Chapter34 Fulfilling the Promise

As Zachary knelt down, the others followed suit. The secretary and the security guards knelt down one after another, trembling with lowered heads.

They were terrified!

They were just low-level employees of a subsidiary company, yet they had implicated themselves with Zachary, falsely accusing the chairman of the main company?!

Once the chairman made them pay for it, they wouldn't even know how they would die!

Ethan ignored them, patting the sofa next to him and smiling at Chloe. “Miss Miller, come and sit.”

Chloe's lips moved a few times, wanting to say something, but no words came out.

Stunned.

Her shock was indescribable!

When they were at Sunrise Restaurant, she had speculated about Ethan's identity, thinking that he could be someone important.

However, she never imagined that he would be this influential!

Cloud Group’s chairman!

In Novaria’s entirety, there was no one bigger than him in the business world.

“Miss Miller.”

Robert smiled and spoke amiably, “You’re Mr. Wilson's friend, which makes you my friend as well. Please, have a seat.”

With a single “please,” Chloe felt like she was floating. Excitement overwhelmed her.

What an honor this was!

Just because she stood beside Ethan, Mr. Torres started to regard her with admiration.

Even her father, the billionaire king of Chicago, couldn't receive such treatment in front of the city lord!

Being able to be friends with Ethan was truly fortunate!

After she sat down, Robert's expression turned serious as he stared at the group of people kneeling on the ground. He said in a deep voice, “Aaron!”

His secretary, Aaron, was kneeling among them. He raised his head and replied, “Sir!”

“Immediately step forward!”

“Do a thorough investigation on Zachary!” Robert said in a cold voice. “As a subordinate, how dare you offend Mr. Wilson? You’re absolutely audacious!”

“Check his accounts, assets, and his relatives!”

“Expose all of his crimes, and give me the results in ten minutes!”

Aaron bowed and immediately took out his phone, ordering the relevant departments to investigate.

‘It's over...’

Zachary knelt on the ground, his legs trembling uncontrollably. He couldn't help but shiver, and a large wet spot appeared in his pants.

He was scared to the point he lost control!

There was no doubt about Mr. Torres' power; He could easily dig up Zachary's entire history.

Embezzlement of company assets, personal profit from corruption...

Once exposed, he would never be able to turn over a new leaf. It would be enough for him to spend the rest of his life in jail!

“Mr. Wilson!” Zachary couldn't imagine his fate. He sobbed loudly, “Please forgive me! I made a foolish mistake, please spare me!”

While sobbing, he glanced at Captain Clark standing beside him. He felt like he’d been hit by a lightning bolt had struck, as if he’d found his last salvation.

“Clark, we're buddies, right?”

He crawled toward Clark, desperately holding onto his thigh while crying and wailing.

“Mr. Torres is your uncle, right? Please, my friend! Help me beg for mercy, spare me this time!”

“Bullsh*t! Who’s your friend? Get lost!” Clark was shocked and infuriated. He kicked Zachary away, his face turning red with anger.

He was such an idiot, a moron, a damn fool!

At a time like this, he still wanted to establish a relationship?

Why offend the Chairman of the Cloud Group, a person even his uncle had to show respect to?

This time, he was truly ruined by this bastard!

“You're friends with someone like him?” Mr. Torres had calmed down, but now he was furious.

He turned his head and glared at Clark, roaring, “Clark, you can resign from your position as Chief Officer and go home to reflect and write a self-examination! My reputation has been tarnished by having a nephew like you!”

Clark jolted, feeling an indescribable regret. Tears almost streamed down his face.

He looked at Mr. Torres with a pleading expression and his voice became tearful, “Uncle, please calm down. I know I was wrong...”

However, he couldn’t finish his sentence.

“Mr. Torres, there's no need to get angry,” Ethan sat beside Robert, shaking his head with a smile. “I didn't know Clark was your nephew. Today was just a misunderstanding, so dismissing him and ordering a self-examination is too much.”

Clark was momentarily stunned, his face full of surprise with slight gratitude rising in his heart. He originally thought that Ethan would surely say bad things about him in front of Robert, but not only did he not say anything negative, but he actually pleaded for Clark and spoke well of him!

“Mr. Wilson…” Clark's face was filled with guilt as he lowered his head towards Ethan. “Thank you so much, Mr. Wilson!”

His words were interrupted by Ethan once again!

Ethan cast his gaze down and spoke softly, “I remember Zachary said he wanted to eat sh*t?”

“Now, I’d like Captain Clark to do me a favor and hold Zachary to his promise!”

Clark was first taken aback, but then his eyes swiftly moved and landed on Zachary's face, with a fiercely intense gaze.

Zachary's body immediately stiffened, completely startled. “Eat shit?! This was even worse than being killed!”

“Please wait a moment, Mr. Wilson.” Clark rubbed his stomach vigorously and bowed to Ethan, “I'll go to the restroom and be right back!”

After speaking, he gave Zachary a stern glare and ran toward the restroom.

“No!” Zachary was terrified and rushed toward Clark, clinging tightly to his leg while crying and wailing. “Clark, Clark, you can't do this to me! We're good buddies, you must have mercy on me!”

His voice was on the verge of hoarseness from crying.

“Get out of my way!” Clark kicked Zachary with a swift motion, sending him rolling several meters away before going toward the restroom.

“No!!!” Zachary was so scared that his courage almost shattered, but he continued to sob and hold onto Clark's thigh.

His crying had made his voice almost inaudible!

“I said get lost!” Clark kicked Zachary again, sending him rolling away again. Afterward, he went straight into the toilet.

He returned after a while, holding a plastic basin with one hand while covering his nose with the other. The basin contained a large, yellowish lump that had a horrid odor which enveloped the office.

Everyone in the office instinctively covered their noses, while their gazes all fell upon Zachary's face.

Zachary was already scared out of his wits, trembling all over. His face had lost all color, and he didn't even bother covering his nose. He was completely stunned!

“Is it enough? If not, I can go for more!” Clark took a big step forward, placing the basin in front of Zachary while shouting angrily, “Hurry up, open your mouth and eat!”

Zachary recoiled in fear, with tears and snot streaming down. His voice was trembling with cries as he said, “Clark, spare me! I’ve treated you to a meal before!”

His voice abruptly stopped.

“Are you still spouting nonsense?!” Clark's palm landed harshly on his face as he angrily scolded, “Don't think you can smear my name like that!”

“Since you don’t want to eat, then I’ll feed it to you!”

After saying that, he tightly grabbed Zachary's neck and forcefully dunked his face into the basin with a loud splash.
