Chapter 450: I’ll Collect Every Debt Myself When the Time Comes
Thea Shaw: "..."
Is Warren Ford here to be funny?
Thea couldn’t help but think of Jason Bishop, that little white lotus.
"And what about Jason Bishop? Does he come to see you every day now that Ian Quinnell has returned to the country? Is the plan to send Jason abroad going to change?"
Previously, Landon Ford mentioned sending Jason abroad to rival Ian Quinnell. But now that Ian is back, it’s unnecessary.
"He’s persistent, clocks in on time every day, more punctual than I am at work."
Landon Ford snorted a laugh: "Indeed, more capable than Ian Quinnell."
Thea Shaw: "So, did you take it?"
Landon Ford: "My status doesn’t allow me to accept anything unexpected."
Even if Jason wouldn’t dare do anything, can you really eat what someone like him gives in this situation?
Thea sighed: "Well, it’s still his painstaking effort."
Landon casually brought up Jason’s matter: "Jason’s residence was also transferred into the Ford Family. It just got processed, the first in many years. He’s got skills. Of course, it doesn’t concern me, but I’d like to know what this means for Ian Quinnell."
Thea considered the other’s possible thoughts and said, "Unless Ian is a saint, he probably feels a bit resentful."
A teenage illegitimate child returns and can make Warren Ford look at him differently, transferring him into the Ford Family.
Landon naturally doesn’t care. Returning to the Ford Family doesn’t mean much, but it means something different to others.
Imagine, no one has been able to change this situation for years. Surely, some people think it’s because Landon opposed it.
But now Jason has successfully moved into the Ford Family.
Even if it hasn’t been widely announced, people will know sooner or later.
In this case, what will Ian think?
Even though Warren flies back abroad to spend Ian’s birthdays every year, Ian still appears as a child without a father.
Ian’s mother is strong, never sought another man for a convenient father role, claiming to be a single mother.
"Of course, it’s just speculation," Landon’s tone was meaningful. "How would we know what others think?"
Thea laughed: "As long as Ian is unhappy, he will face Jason sooner or later. Oh, the family situation is complicated on your end, and it’s just as tangled over here. Things with Aurora Sutton are also a mess, who knows when we can sort it out."
"While we’re on this subject, let me tell you some good news."
Landon looked deeply at Thea: "Your previous boyfriend said he’d stand up for you. Here’s a good thing: while handling the waves caused by the Vanguard Group, I found that Mark Moody had business dealings with them, and there was a loophole. I did a good deed and handed the evidence to the police. Mark will be in jail for at least a few months. Happy?"
"Hmm?" Thea was surprised: "Happy! But a few months is not enough. Once he’s out, he’ll thoroughly hate us both. I see his fate as one entangled in prison for the rest of his life, surely there are bigger illegal activities not yet uncovered. You have to try harder, Landon."
Landon said quietly: "You expect me to work hard without any reward?"
Thea blinked: "Landon, I’ve already given myself to you. What other reward do you want? Surely you don’t expect money between couples?"
"Smart mouth!" Landon pinched Thea’s cheek gently: "Remember, when the time comes, I’ll collect it all myself."
