Joseph didn't speak, looking at him.
"Joseph, I believe that you have nothing to do with my father's death. I am not good at managing, so I hope that you can take responsibility. I will be out." Roy looked at him sincerely.
Joseph was not surprised at his decision, so he just thought for a while and said, "It's known that you are in this position to make the Lakes satisfied. If you are out, how do you explain it to them?"
"Unless they want to force to death. I have ways to persuade them." Roy shrugged.
"Aren't you afraid that I will take the Runestone Group?" Joseph asked.
Roy leaned forward and stared at Joseph, "So you must keep one promise."
"Just say it."
"I will be out of the Runestone Group and give you the whole responsibility of running. I will not interfere with you on any managent thod or decision, but you should guarantee to keep the shares of Lakes equal with your family and the Lakes' rights and interests."
Joseph smiled and promised, "Sure, I will keep it."
"Done." Roy sent his hands out. Joseph shook hands with him.

As Jay went back, Lenard ca to him.
Jay heard that Lenard t with Lilith to have a blind date. Kelly told him this news, and he finally had an idea about Lenard's family.
His relationship with Lilith beca more difficult due to the last ti's eting. He knew that Lilith t Carn by herself through the staff in the facility. Jay knew that it would be hard for him and Lilith to co back to the forr relationship.
He didn't know how to make an effort in a relationship, though he clearly knew who he loved.
Sotis love was just like a car without a motor, which would not start regardless of careful maintenance.
He rembered that Irish had said that love would not be pure anymore if there were more consideration.
Yes, it would not be pure.
However, as he saw Lenard, he was so annoyed.
Seeing Jay's cold expression, Lenard put his cap aside and asked, "Can I have a seat?"
Since they were in the police office, they needed to do things by the regulations, so Jay had to calm down and say lightly, "Sit down."
Lenard sat down across from him and said, after thinking for a while, "Jay, we need to have a talk."
Seeing the record handed over by Lenard, Jay just answered simply.
"Carn's case has been passed to , but she doesn't cooperate with , so the process goes slowly. You are clear that those undercovers sent by the police school are still beside those drug dealers, so they are in possible danger if this case is delayed. It is suggested that you should contact Carn and persuade her to beco a tainted witness." Lenard said seriously.
Jay took a glance at him with a light voice, "You will leave office within half a year. It's enough for you."
"Jay." Lenard sighed heavily, "I didn't an to cheat you. I..."
"I will follow the orders and try to persuade Carn." Jay wasn't willing to talk more obviously, so he just interrupted Lenard.
Lenard felt assured and nodded, "Thank you."
"It's my duty."
Lenard didn't talk anymore.
Just in this way, there was short-ti silence.
"Secondly." Lenard hesitated.
Jay put down the record and stared at him.
Lenard also looked at him, "You must know that Lilith has had a blind date with . Actually, today I also want to tell you that I like Lilith. I will pursue her from today on. I know that she is your girlfriend, and it is inappropriate for to grab her with you, but one's love cannot be controlled. I will compete with you in a fair way. I will just do it no matter whether you hate or not."
Jay closed the record, "Are you done? Please just go out. I am busy."
"I would rather that you hit . I..."
"Do you really think that I dare not to hit you?" Jay stood up suddenly and grabbed up Lenard's collar, hitting on his face with a fist.
Lenard was hit directly without hitting back and just sat on the floor. He rubbed on his mouth. Jay's attack was so strong that Lenard's mouth skin ca off.
"Now that you have broken up with Lilith, it's better for her to be with ." Lenard stood up and patted off the dust. He took up the cap and put it on his head, "I really think that I can make her safer. But, of course, this sense of safety has nothing to do with money. At least she will not marry a policeman who may be in danger every day. Jay, admit it or not, you are dood to be an excellent policeman. Nobody can replace you."
Jay's fury disappeared. He tried his best to repress his anger. He walked to the door and opened it, saying with a still, cold voice, "Get out."
Lenard finished his tasks, so he just left without more words.
Jay closed the door and sat back in the chair with tight fists.

It was in the Runestone Group. Today's regular eting with the dia was more boisterous than ever.
The regular eting with the dia was held at 3 p.m. tily. However, the hall was filled with reporters when it was nearly 2 p.m. So even had no seats, so they were just in the alley.
Outside the office building, those dia who were not invited also sent their reporters. They were just surrounded by each other.
When it was 3 p.m., the director of the Public Relations Departnt went on the stage with a standard smile, and for the ti being, all those reporters pressed the shutter. They were afraid of missing any subtle information, so they didn't let their cara go off.
Of course, no matter how beautiful and brilliant her smile was, their focus was not on the director. They were really cautious about Joseph's attendance.
After the director went on the stage, Daisy pushed the door, and Joseph ca out. Soon the audience focused on him.
There was a eting after the simple dinner, so Joseph just finished the eting and arrived at the hall. As a result, his dress didn't look so distant.
He wore a smoky gray shirt with a pair of simple black pants. He didn't wear a coat or a tie or so decorations with business flavor. The only golden decoration was the watch on his wrist and the belt fastener on his waist, looking low-key and reserved.
It could be felt that he went for this eting after another. Such a busy man appeared in front of so much dia. His handso look and tall figure made him a target for them. To get close to him, so even went forward and pushed the chairs down.
The director reminded them to be quiet through the microphone, while reporters just couldn't wait to follow the procedures and put forward questions. The noise was louder than that of the director.
The director got anxious, but Daisy was still calm. She got familiar with such a scene, so she just called the guards. Those guards were trained formally. They made a road and guarded Joseph against those reporters.
