NovelAppAs Megan stretched out her hands, Jacob flinched in fear and hurriedly cowered to the side.
“Meg... Mrs. Campbell, I'm sorry. I didn't know your identity in the past. I was lustful, so I became interested in you. I won't do it
anymore. Mrs. Campbell, please give me a chance! Please let me live!”
As Jacob was speaking, his head was lowered the entire time. He didn't even dare to look up.
Harold remained silent and just stared at them nonchalantly.
“What's going on, Harold?” Glen asked Harold in confusion, even though he had sort of guessed what was happening.
“I don't know either. This guy suddenly knelt in front of me. I'm in shock too,” Harold responded as he shrugged his shoulders.
He did not want to reveal his true identity in front of everyone, as he wanted to keep a low profile.
As Glen couldn't get an answer out of Harold, he could only look toward Elias, hoping to get an answer from him.
Since Elias had asked Jacob to beg for forgiveness, the former surely knew Harold's identity.
However, at that moment, Elias didn't even bother to notice Glen's stare.
Elias' heart instantly sank. The tragic fate that had befallen the Neptune Chamber of Commerce was still fresh in his mind.
For the sake of his son, Elias knelt in front of Harold too.
“It's all my fault for not raising him well, Mr. Campbell. I had a part to play in raising him to become such an arrogant person. If
you're unhappy, just take it out on me. I'm willing to accept any punishment from you, Mr. Campbell. Please give my son another
chance,” Elias pleaded. .
Elias, together with his son, begged for mercy.
“Dad...” Jacob called out. Yet, he couldn't say anything else as his eyes reddened.
Even Harold was moved by Elias' action.
It reminded him about his mother and his adoptive parents, Felicia and Louis.
Men were prideful creatures who would not simply kneel in front of anyone.
However, in situations where their child was helpless and in danger, a father would always kneel without hesitation.
They were willing to risk their lives for their kids' safety.
“Please get up, Mr. Simmons. I won't pursue this matter any further. No matter what happened between him and Megan, I have
no right to interfere. As long as he doesn't have any bad intentions toward her, I won't object to them being together,” Harold said
sincerely as he bent down to help Elias up.
Elias was so surprised by Harold's action that he wondered if he was imagining things.
He still remembered what happened to Dominic Wood of the Neptune Chamber of Commerce two days ago.
He thought that his son would end up like Dominic.
However, the current situation was different from what he had imagined.
“Thank you, Mr. Campbell. I'll make sure to discipline Jacob strictly. I won't let him go around causing any more trouble,” Elias
said anxiously.
Only after seeing Harold nod did he help Jacob up. He then made Jacob leave so that the latter wouldn't stir up any more
trouble.
“Everyone can leave now,” said Harold, waving his hand when he saw that everyone was still gathering around and watching
them.
The crowd instantly dispersed upon hearing that.
At that moment, the banquet was about to commence.
Glen immediately pulled Megan to sit down.
