âThatâs right. This document is real. Jack Trent from Thousand Leaves personally signed it and passed
it to me,â Alex Rockefeller said.
Joanne spat in Alexâs face.
âWho do you think you are? Youâre just a useless shut-in. Why would Jack Trent from Thousand
Leaves personally sign and send a document to you? Thatâs the biggest lie Iâve ever heard,â Joanne
said.
âAlright. Weâll eventually find out if heâs telling the truth or not. The police will be involved when the time
comes. For now, we must temporarily shut Assex City South Subsidiary Company down. My apologies,
Ms. Assex,â Marshall Roberts said.
However, Dorothy Assexâs new secretary came running in. âMs. Assex, Mr. Trent from Thousand
Leaves is here,â she said.
Dorothy was stunned. Emma Assex, on the other hand, started laughing loudly.
âMr. Trent must have found out that you forged the authorization letter and came to demand an
apology. Dorothy, are you still in denial?â
Dorothy was actually feeling very nervous, but Alex held her soft hands to calm her down.
Soon, Jack Trent arrived.
When Anderson Assex saw Jack, he immediately greeted the man with a warm smile on his face.
Anderson knew that Jack was backed by the Yowell family who was a hundred times more powerful
than the Assex family.
âNice to meet you, Mr. Trent. Itâs my pleasure to meet you here. You must be here because of Dorothyâs
nasty forgery of the permit. She really did go too far. Fortunately, I have already tom the document,â
Anderson said with a smile.
Jack looked shocked.
The document had been torn? What was going on?
However, Jack wasnât in the mood to think about it. He circled past Anderson and quickly walked up to
Alex and Dorothy with a smile on his face.
âMr. Rockefeller, Ms. Rockefeller, I apologize for showing up without an invitation, â Jack said humbly.
Suddenly, Andersonâs body tensed up. He was in disbelief.
Joanne couldnât believe what she was seeing. Her eyes were wide with surprise.
âImpossible. How is this possible?â Emma mumbled to herself.
âMr. Trent, youâre here at the right time. These people suspect that I forged the document from
yesterday, they even tore it apart. Mr. Marshall here even wanted to shut down my wifeâs company just
now. But there are so many employees that rely on the company for an income. They have mouths to
feed. What would they do if the company shut down? Thatâs why you must help explain things to Mr.
Marshall over here,â Alex said with a smile.
When Marshall saw how Jack greeted Alex, he was already dumbfounded. Marshallâs heart was
beating wildly.
Even he wouldnât dare get in trouble with someone from the Yowell family.
Marshall started cursing Anderson for setting him up.
âItâs been a while, Mr. Marshall. You look as good as ever! But I really did personally sign the permit. Itâs
a binding agreement. We, Thousand Leaves, have a working relationship with Ms. Assexâs company,â
Jack said calmly.
Marshallâs expression froze momentarily.
âTo be honest, I believed the document was real when I saw it. Unfortunately, Anderson over here tore
it apart. I was only asking Ms. Assex to explain things clearly,â Marshall said.
âI see,â Jack murmured.
âThatâs exactly what happened. But now that youâve personally shown up and explained things, Mr.
Trent, itâs all clear now. Itâs merely a misunderstanding⦠In that case, I shall leave to deal with other
business. Farewell,â Marshall said quickly.
âFarewell, Mr. Marshall.â Jack nodded.
Jack immediately glared at Anderson coldly. âWhy did you tear the permit I signed for Ms. Assex on
behalf of Thousand Leaves? You have to give me a reasonable explanation,â he said.
