FakeNovelChapter 1301: "What is it you want to know?" Despite his efforts to appear composed, the dealer's voice betrayed his fear. "The boss clearly cares about that woman. What was so wrong abouttrying to help?" He had only intended to do his boss a favor-a simple act of loyalty.

Bleacher took a slow drag from the cigarette he lit, a smirk forming behind the haze of smoke. "And who exactly are you to assyou understand the boss's intentions?" For years, Bleacher had been at Jonathan's side, yet even he never presumed to decipher his thoughts on Corrine. He followed orders, nothing more.
But this dealer, foolishly thinking himself perceptive, had taken it upon himself to interfere-rigging the gso Corrine would walk away empty-handed. A reckless decision.
"But the boss... he and that woman—" "From now on, you will refer to her as Miss Holland with respect,” Bleacher said, his tone cold and final.
