Chapter 1975
Chandler sneered, "Keegan Kane, don't try to mess with me. It was your slave's fault for standing in my
way!"
Keegan's gaze darkened. "Well, it seems like you don't want to settle this privately."
He took out his phone and dialed 911, as he spoke. "Hello, my assistant was physically assaulted by
someone, and I'd like to make a report about it. My name is Keegan Kane, and my ID number..."
Chandler's expression changed. While Keegan was still talking on the phone, Chandler said, "Keegan
Kane, are you out of your mind? Did you seriously just call the police for that?"
Keegan glanced at him and proceeded to tell the operator his ID number.
It did not seem as if he was pretending at all, and Chandler was afraid of escalating the situation.
Chandler had finally managed to gain some advantage before Keegan returned, making Keegan feel
somewhat threatened.
However, after Jackson donated those expired bread to Langetown, the incident pushed those

He was in a crucial time to prove himself. If Keegan were to really report to the police and get his
assistant arrested, others might start to lose their trust in him.
Chandler took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "My assistant has made a mistake, and I
could've handled it better. Send someone over to my office later, and I'll transfer some money to Aldor
from my personal account. Let's put this behind us."
Keegan covered his phone's mic and asked, "How much money are we talking about exactly?"
"A hundred thousand."
Keegan held his phone back up and continued giving the operator his ID number.
Chandler gritted his teeth before he exclaimed, "Two hundred thousand!"
At that point, Keegan was already telling the operator his address.
Chandler's face turned red in anger. "Three hundred thousand should be enough! Don't push your luck,
Keegan!"
It was only then Keegan ended the call and said with a smile, "Well, allow me to thank you on behalf of
Aldor, then.
Not only had Chandler failed to lecture Keegan into helping Dahlia, but his assistant's blunder had just
cost him three hundred thousand dollars. When he left Keegan's office, his expression could not be any
darker.
Keegan looked at his departing figure and said, "Chandler, I'll have my secretary go upstairs to collect
the check in a while."
Chandler stumbled and almost fell. Fortunately, his assistant caught him. Then, he shook the assistant
off and walked faster, looking somewhat embarrassed.
It did not take long for the secretary sent by Keegan to obtain the three hundred thousand dollar check
from Chandler.
After that, Keegan went to Aldor's room with the check in his hand.
He opened the door and saw Aurora applying medicine to Aldor's mouth. Upon seeing Keegan, Aurora
panicked, and she accidentally pressed on Aldor's wound.

With a painful expression, Aldor said, "Ms. Kane, are you taking this as an opportunity to retaliate
against me?"
Aurora glared at Aldor and said softly, "Hey, Keegan."
Keegan responded flatly, "Go on, don't mind me."
Aurora was taken aback.
Suddenly, she felt as though Keegan was teasing her. Then, she gritted her teeth and said, "Go on with
what? It's nothing serious. It doesn't even need to be disinfected."
Aldor chuckled and turned to Keegan. Then, he asked, "How did it go, Mr. Kane?"
Keegan placed the check on the desk. "This is the compensation from Chandler."
Aldor looked at it and suddenly frowned. 'Mr. Kane, did I back off too soon just now? If I had known that
taking a punch would get me three hundred thousand, I would've stood in his way a bit longer."
