Chapter 417 How Dare You!
Christopher sighed, “Unfortunately, for now, it’s the only option we have. You know that my
family’s headquarters are in Bardoff City, and I’ll have to go back there eventually. Once I’m back, I
won’t be able to intervene in Parrington. If Paul continues attacking the Walkers, I won’t be able to
help.”
As long as Christopher was in Parrington, he could prevent Paul from attacking the Walkers, but once
he left, the Walkers would not be protected.
Jenny’s heart sank, knowing Christopher had done all he could. “I understand.”
“The only way to truly solve the Walkers’ crisis is to leave Parrington,” Christopher proposed. It would
be very troublesome, but it was the only way.
Jenny hesitated. “But where can they go?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEven though Paul may not have that much influence in other cities, it would still be challenging for the
Walkers to survive in other cities on their own. Hence, the situation might not change.
“They can go to Bardoff City,” Christopher suggested, “Paul’s influence there is weak, and I can still
help to some extent. It won’t be worse than in Parrington.”
Bardoff City was the Spades’ territory, so Christopher felt confident saying that.
Before Jenny could speak, he added, “If the Walkers go to Bardoff City, I can help them. I can’t
guarantee how good the protection will be, but it would definitely be better than what I can do in
Parrington.”
His offer was not insignificant. Jenny looked at him, grateful for his offer despite his motives. Jenny
hesitated and said, “I need to discuss it with Stephanie and her parents first.”
“Okay, no problem,” Christopher replied. He was confident that the Walkers would not refuse the offer
since it was their best chance to improve their situation.
He was helping the Walkers for Jenny’s sake. Nonetheless, it was common for powerful families in
Bardoff City to provide protection for smaller families, and the Spades were no exception. Hence, it was
not a big deal for him to take the Walkers under his wing.
“I was actually planning to go to Bardoff City these next couple of days,” Christopher said. “Why don’t
you come with me and help the Walkers find an office address?”
He was looking forward to their trip to Bardoff City.
Jenny agreed. However, she knew she had to discuss it with the Walkers first. She couldn’t make such
an important decision without their approval.
After discussing business matters, Christopher smiled and asked, “I did you a favor. Can you treat me
to dinner?”
Jenny thought for a moment and replied, “Sure.”
Christopher had invited her to dinner a few times, and she felt it was time to return the favor. They

Meanwhile, The Faust Group was holding a board meeting. Mortimer’s face darkened when he heard
Alec propose to dismiss him as head director.
“How dare he dismiss his father!” Mortimer thought.
Alec called for a show of hands, saying, “If you agree to remove Mortimer, please raise your hand.” He
showed no emotion and didn’t look at Mortimer.
Mortimer watched as everyone raised their hands one after another, except for a few who had a good
relationship with him. He felt even worse when he saw their faces.
Alec felt proud that his efforts had paid off, while Mortimer was bewildered by the situation. He never
expected Alec to contact those old men and hold this board meeting. Nonetheless, Alec had always
been so conceited.
