Chapter 67 Appreciation

“Squad Leader, to be honest, my company is in trouble too. If I can’t overcome this crisis, I’m afraid I will

go bankrupt. Therefore, I would only be impeding his career by hiring him,” Franklin confessed with a

sigh.

Feeling embarrassed, Gary said, “Franklin, I’m sorry to have made trouble for you. Anyway, don’t worry

about Jared. Instead, what problems are your company facing?”

“Our problems? Can you solve them?” Frieda sneered.

“I…” Gary blushed in humiliation.

“Shut up!” Franklin glared at Frieda before saying apologetically, “Squad Leader, ignore her bitchiness.

My company has dealings with Glamorous Designs. Unfortunately, they have stopped supplying goods

to us, causing our cash flow to be stuck. Consequently, I don’t know how long I can hold out for. As for

finding Jared a job, I’ll get Maria to check with her company, since it’s a conglomerate and it provides

good benefits. Jared can slowly work his way up from the bottom.”

Visibly upset by Franklin’s words, Maria retorted, “Dad, I’m nothing but a salesperson. I don’t have such

authority at all. You’d better not cause me any trouble.”

“You might not be able to do so, but isn’t Zayne the sales manager? Can’t he hire just one person?”

Franklin demanded.

“He—”

Before Maria could finish, Franklin threatened, “Enough! This is how it’s going to be. If Zayne doesn’t

have the capability to do it, I will have to reconsider his compatibility with you.”

Maria fell silent in response. All she could do was pout in anger.

“Franklin, it took a lot of effort for Maria to join that company. Aren’t you just causing unnecessary trouble

for her? Besides, does that company even accept ex-convicts in the first place?” Frieda remonstrated

with Franklin after shooting Jared a glance.

Despite feeling upset at being called an ex-convict, Jared kept his temper in check. After all, he felt that

Franklin was a good man.

“Dad, let me be frank here. I’ll get him in the door, but whether or not he can pass the interview will be up

to his own capabilities.”

Maria rolled her eyes before returning to her bedroom.

“Squad Leader, please don’t mind her attitude. That girl has a really nasty attitude,” Franklin explained to

Gary awkwardly.

Gary smiled wryly in response. Given the dire circumstances, he was in no position to be upset about her

unfriendly attitude.

“Franklin, I appreciate what you have done. Anyway, I have something on, and I’ll have to take my

leave.”

Gary was cognizant that there was no point in staying any longer. The last thing he wanted was to cause

trouble for Franklin and his family.

“Squad Leader, why don’t we have lunch first, as I have already made reservations,” Franklin added

quickly.

“It’s all right. Next time, perhaps.” Gary waved his hand.

At the same time, Jared helped Hannah up.

Despite being aware of his wife and daughter’s hostility to his guests, there was little Franklin could do

about it other than smile apologetically. “When the opportunity arises, the two of us should have a drink

together.”

When Franklin escorted his guests out, Frieda sat on the sofa and couldn’t be bothered.

“Mr. Saunders, what’s the name of the company that owed you money?” Jared asked the moment he

walked out the door.

“It’s called Glamorous Designs. Do you know anyone there?” Franklin asked out of curiosity.

Jared shook his head. “No, but I’ll try and collect the money for you.”

“I appreciate the thought, but you’d better not do anything illegal after having just been released. Instead,

just take good care of your parents. As for my problems, you don’t have to worry about it.”

Thinking that Jared was probably a gangster, Franklin assumed that he was going to collect the debt by

force. After all, Jared had just been released from prison.
