After Jasper left, Fabian’s furious roars came from the hospital room.
“Damn it!”
Fabian grabbed a vase from the side of the bed and smashed it against the television that was hanging on the wall opposite the bed. With a loud crash, the vase and the television both broke.
At this moment, Waterson struggled to get up from the puddle of blood on the floor. He lowered his head and said to Fabian, “Mr. Fabian, it’s my fault.”
Even though Fabian was furious, he hated that he could not kick this useless old thing to death. After he took a deep breath and suppressed the impatience and anger in his heart, he flashed a stiff smile.
Then, he said, “That punk is so wily and mischievous. He has someone powerful with him too, so how can I blame you, Waterson? You’re so badly injured. Let me ask the doctor to come look at you. You have to recuperate now.”
Anyone would be touched if they were cared for and not criticized after a serious failure.
After Waterson heard that, he was even more remorseful. He said, “Thank you for your forgiveness, Mr. Fabian.”
‘What a good-for-nothing!’
After Fabian cursed in his heart, he said faintly, “Waterson, you’ve worked in the Atticus family for so many years. Even if weren’t able to contribute this time, you’ve worked hard for us. Therefore, this small failure means nothing. Jasper will surely regret this in the future. Waterson, you should go get someone to take a look at your wounds.”
After he watched Waterson walking away with a limp, Fabian murmured coldly. “If I didn’t feel that you’re useful to the family, you won’t be able to suppress my anger even if you died a hundred times.”
After a while, Fabian picked up the phone and called a number.
“Father, it’s me. Jasper came over just now.”
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
“Let Henry and the gang go,” Fabian continued.
After a long while, Sawyer finally said, “It’s easy to let them go, but it’ll be difficult to get such a good chance again in the future.”
“Father, a lot of the elders in the family don’t agree with us starting a battle with the Laws, right?” Fabian said calmly.
“Until that old thing from the Laws doesn‘t die, those good-for-nothings won’t dare to do anything… However, we have to make the Laws pay.”
Fabian said coldly, “It’s of paramount importance that we fight the Laws. We still need some time to prepare for this. However, this is not the best time.”
“Even so, I can’t wait a second more to defeat Jasper!”
Sawyer was silent for a while, then he said, “This is your affair to handle. You’re not a child anymore so you have to make your own decisions. If you think this action will be more beneficial, then I’ll entertain you.”
“However, you have to be aware that your previous failure has led to the others in the family holding different opinions about you. “If you get defeated by the same person twice, then it’ll make us look very passive.”
Fabian thought about the price he had to pay and then the corners of his lips twitched.
“Dad, I don’t have another way out.”
Sawyer asked with a deep voice, “How much did you lose?”
“All of the assets under my name.”
Fabian’s answer caused Sawyer to start breathing heavily on the other side of the phone.
As Fabian’s father and the head of the Atticus family, naturally, Sawyer knew how much money that was. However, what shocked him the most was not the money. The loss of this money was nothing to the Atticus family and Sawyer.
What truly shocked him was the fact that Fabian had lost everything this time. This had never happened before!
