Howard sat quietly beside Corey, eagerly awaiting any progress on their plan.
Barbara excused herself to make a pot of tea, allowing the brothers to converse privately.
Howard looked at Corey’s legs, covered by the blanket, and asked, “Corey, do you still go to the altar room to recite scriptures?” Corey followed his gaze to his legs.
“When the pain subsides, | do.”
“Why put yourself through it? In the end, you haven’t committed any grave sins. There’s no need to burden yourself with so much guilt. When will you stop torturing yourself? It’s time to let go,” Howard sighed.
Corey chuckled lightly. “Now that I’ve resigned and become a homebody. I’m living aimlessly with no goals and feel like a walking corpse. It’s only when | recite scriptures that | feel alive again. Perhaps one day, I'll earn her forgiveness.”
Howard knew exactly who Corey referred to.
Another long sigh escaped Howard's lips.
He did not know how to persuade Corey to let go.
The air grew still, and neither of them spoke.
There was a hint of melancholy in the atmosphere, yet it was not awkward.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
It was not until Barbara entered with tea cups that the tense atmosphere in the room was broken.
Two hours later, Corey received a call back from the National Affairs Bureau.
Howard nervously clenched his hands, unable to sit still.
“Mr. Corey, three restaurants under the Santos Group were fined and ordered to rectify their food safety standards because they failed to meet food safety and quality inspection standards. There are no other records on file.”
“Good, send those inspection reports to my email,” Corey instructed before hanging up the phone. A few minutes later, Barbara brought over a laptop, and Corey logged into his email account to review the documents.
“They weren't too serious of a violation, only fined and instructed to rectify their violations. None was forced to shut down for the immediate rectification,” Corey remarked.
Howard lowered his gaze, pondering seriously.
“What if | blow this issue out of proportion, get the media to exaggerate it a bit? It would be best to involve all the restaurants under the Santos Group and stir up a frenzy about the Santos Group’s food safely issues. What do you think?”
Corey smiled with a hint of mischief in his eyes.
“That’s a great suggestion. The Santos Group’s stock market will take a hit, and | believe Wayne will come knocking on your door within three days.”
Howard was also impatient by nature, wasting no time to get things done.
He bid farewell to Corey and Barbara and quickly gathered his team to draft press releases for online distribution.
