The God of War Chapter 149
“Do you want to know what they have done?”
Diego smiled bitterly and pointed at the entrance of the welfare institution not far away, saying, “During the day,
there would be a few bastards coming over from time to time. They held sticks and blocked the entrance, not
allowing us to go out.”
He continued, “At night, they will cut down the wires, break the water pipes, and even perform outside. The elders
of the welfare institution can’t rest well. They are going to have a sort of breakdown!”
As he spoke, he glanced at Roselyn. He seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he did not say anything.
“Mr. Owen.”
Roselyn noticed Diego’s dilemma and said, “After the Eastons put me out on the street, I lived in the welfare
institution for more than half a year. You were kind to me, and I have always remembered it. If there is anything
you need me to do, just say it.”
…
Diego gritted his teeth and finally spoke in a low voice, “We can’t afford to offend the Construction Group. The
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwelfare institution will definitely not be able to continue opening. And those old people will be homeless. Ms. Easton,
can you think of a way to help those old people?”
He bowed to Roselyn. The eyes of the fifty-year-old man instantly filled with tears!
“Mr. Owen!” xo.com fast update
Roselyn quickly stepped forward and helped Diego up. She then turned to look at Jorge with a complicated
expression on her face, saying, “Jorge, we…”
She did not know what to say next.
The Construction Group, as Diego said, was deeply rooted. Since the 80s, it had contracted half of Ocean City’s
basic construction projects, and the construction range covered the entire Hayden Province.
Even the New-Easton Group was no match for the Construction Group!
Jorge smiled and was about to speak.
“Mr. Owen, Mr. Easton is here!”
A sudden shout interrupted what Jorge was about to say.
Two middle-aged women in uniform were pushing a stretcher as they walked over to the office. A skinny, paralyzed
old man was lying on it.
“Grandfather…”
Looking at the old man lying on the stretcher, Roselyn said in a choked voice and her eyes turned red.
Kaleb seemed to have aged more than ten years. His arms outside the quilt were skinny and the blood vessels on
the back of his hand were clearly visible. There were many age spots on his face now.
It was obvious that he must have been abused by Jeffery for many days. Kaleb lived a miserable life those days!
“We’ll talk about the matter about the welfare institution later. Let’s take Grandpa home first.”
Roselyn could not help but feel sad. She pulled Jorge towards the stretcher.
At this time…
Not far away, at the entrance of the Sunset Welfare Institution, two black Audi A8 rushed to the entrance of the
Director’s office. Drivers slammed on the brakes, raising a large cloud of dust!
“Damn it!”
In the Audi in front, a man in a suit wore glasses and got out of the car. He looked at Kaleb lying on the stretcher
and stomped his foot fiercely, saying, “Hurry up and push this old bastard away. Don’t block my path!”
Five burly men rushed out from another car and pushed away Kaleb’s stretcher and the two middle-aged female
nurses. They stood on both sides of the door and said in unison, “Mr. Olson, please!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJett glanced at Jorge and Roselyn who were standing at the door. Then, he looked at Diego and snorted coldly. He
waved his hand and said, “Come here!”
Behind Jett, a burly man walked forward and handed a black handbag to Diego, then he threatened, “Take it!”
Diego didn’t take the handbag and took half a step back. He said angrily, “What do you mean? What’s in the bag? I
won’t take it!”
…
Jett sneered, “Diego, in the old city area, other than the welfare institution, what other places haven’t been
demolished?”
He continued, “I’ll give you at most three days to get rid of all the old bastards here. Three days later, we will pull
down the Sunset Welfare Institution!”
Diego’s face was full of anger, but when he thought of the power behind Jett, he clenched his fists and said, “If you
want to pull down the Sunset Welfare Institution, I can’t stop you. At least, give us the compensation. The old people
here need a new place to settle down!”
Jett sneered, “Don’t you just want money? Give it to him!”
Next to Jett, a strong man grinned, opened his handbag, took out a contract, and threw it to Diego.
“Diego, as long as you sign the contract, all the compensation will be yours!
