"According to my current understanding, she first posted information online about Bucolic Serenity and Miss Shaw before gathering six people to start trouble, which involves mob fighting and picking quarrels..."
With each sentence Chief Sutton spoke, Jas Langley’s face grew darker.
Finally, Jas Langley couldn’t hold back any longer and turned to glare at Chief Sutton.
"Mr. Sutton! Enough!"
However, Chief Sutton, who usually spoke to him as a friend, seed not to hear Jas Langley and continued his official duty.
"Besides that, she used her family background to threaten and intimidate all the employees of Bucolic Serenity..."
Chief Sutton listed Sean Langley’s offenses one by one, Sean was already crying in fear, and Jas Langley’s shoulders were visibly shaking.
"That’s... about it."
Chief Sutton said, probing, "Should I take her away now?"
Sean widened her eyes in horror.
Was she... going to prison?
Warren Prescott raised an eyebrow slightly and asked Chief Sutton, "Take who?"
Chief Sutton paused, hesitantly said, "Take them both?"
Warren Prescott glanced over the father and daughter and suddenly curled his lips, "I’m a person who values human relationships; taking both would inevitably make others say I’m not considerate..."
"So what do you an?"
"Let them choose for themselves, who goes in and who stays out."
Upon hearing this, Sean imdiately grabbed Jas Langley’s sleeve.
"Dad, I’m scared! I don’t want to go in!"
However, Jas Langley, with a blank expression, used his other hand to pry away Sean’s hand gripping his sleeve.
"You caused this yourself; you must take responsibility for it yourself!"
Sean looked at Jas Langley in disbelief.
"Dad?"
"Don’t call Dad, I don’t have such a bad daughter!"
The color drained from Sean’s face visibly.
Her dad... abandoned her?
At that mont, she suddenly realized her father was not as loving as she had thought.
"Dad! How can you do this?! I’m your own daughter!"
Jas Langley had a frosty look but inside was disappointed.
Sean wasn’t yet eighteen; even if taken away, at most she’d be sent to a juvenile detention center.
But if he went, things would be much worse.
But clearly, Sean’s dull brain couldn’t see this layer.
He could only wait until Sean gets out to explain clearly to her.
Whether she could understand... even he was unsure because his daughter was so stubborn.
He only regretted not having more children when he was young.
Sean was a wasted effort.
Although she would only go to a juvenile center, getting into a good university would be almost impossible.
Warren Prescott’s move was indeed a ruthless tactic.
Jas Langley forced himself to turn away and said to Chief Sutton, "Shut your mouth! Mr. Sutton, quickly take her away. I didn’t educate her well, so please teach her how to behave properly."
"Rest assured, I’ll educate her well."
Chief Sutton didn’t say much more, directly signaling his subordinates to take Sean away.
Sean desperately held onto Jas Langley’s arm.
"I’m not leaving! Dad! You can’t let them take away! My future will be ruined... Dad! Dad!!"
How arrogant Sean was before, how pathetic she was now.
Jas Langley steeled his heart, withdrew his hand, and pushed Sean toward a police officer.
"Quickly take her away!"
Sean was forced onto the police car, which quickly rged into traffic and disappeared from sight.
Jas Langley diverted his gaze, forcing a flattering smile.
"Mr. Prescott Jr., Sean has already been taken away. I’m sure Chief Sutton’s people will educate her properly; she won’t dare act recklessly in the future... Can we consider this matter settled?"
Warren Prescott remained expressionless.
"Settled? You must ask the parties involved."
Jas Langley hurriedly approached Ashley Shaw.
"Miss Shaw... my daughter’s spoiled by , causing such great damage to your store and even attacking you. If I had known earlier, I would have educated her better. But Miss Shaw, considering she has been taken away, please forgive her and end this matter, can you?"
Jas Langley’s attitude compared to before Warren Prescott arrived was completely different.
At that ti, he treated Ashley Shaw and others as ants to be trampled.
But now, in front of her "ant", he lowered himself exceedingly.
The tables have turned, nothing more.
Ashley Shaw spoke lightly, "Mr. Langley, you’re apologizing to the wrong person; this store isn’t mine, I’m just working here."
Jas Langley was slightly stunned.
"Then this store is..."
Ashley Shaw stepped back, allowing Claire Xavier to stand in front of her.
Just now, Jas Langley hadn’t noticed Claire Xavier nor recognized the newly styled Cillian Xavier; now seeing Claire Xavier, he instantly linked the siblings’ identities.
"Miss Xavier, Young Master Xavier...?"
Claire Xavier sneered, "You should be glad this is a society governed by law."
Claire Xavier’s words were loaded with aning, and Jas Langley’s face changed repeatedly.
No wonder Warren Prescott defended a delivery person; he was actually protecting The Xaviers.
He never expected Sean would provoke not only the Prescott Family but also the Xavier Family.
These two families are thriving in Westcroft’s business scene, having the final say.
For Jas Langley, this ti he’s really finished.
He regretted deeply, almost fainting on the spot.
"I-I apologize, Miss Xavier, Young Master Xavier... I truly didn’t know this store was yours..."
"Here’s the deal; I’ll repay today’s revenue tenfold; I beg you to forgive..."
Claire Xavier irritatedly tapped her ear.
"Can’t you say anything else?"
"This..."
"I’m not the ’grown-up’ you think; I’m just an ordinary woman, so I don’t have great forgiveness, so stop flattering . Also, do you think I care about your dirty money? I find your money filthy! You should take this ti to go ho and sort things out with your family."
Claire Xavier spoke directly.
She couldn’t stand those relying on a bit of power to boss others around.
Especially those who bullied in her store, she wouldn’t tolerate it!
Luckily, she was in the hospital waiting for Ivy Bond’s check-up, idly logged into the store’s surveillance and saw the scene.
So she imdiately rushed over with Archie.
Otherwise, Ashley and others won’t know how badly they’d be bullied.
But Claire Xavier thought again, even if she hadn’t noticed the surveillance, it didn’t matter as Warren Prescott was here, right?
Jas Langley’s face turned ashen.
Sort things out... does it an to remove him from his position?
He wanted to struggle more, Warren Prescott directly spoke up, "You have three seconds to disappear from my sight; I find you very unlucky."
Chief Sutton, maintaining their last bit of friendship, reminded Jas Langley.
"Mr. Langley, quickly take your people and leave! Don’t block Young Master Prescott’s view."
