NovelEnglishChapter 1445 Abandoning the Wrays At that point, Kenton couldn't care less about his reputation and only sought revenge. His emotional turmoil had overshadowed any consideration of his standing.
If it weren't for the sensible businessmen intervening, Kenton might have punched Alejandro.
Even so, his sudden outburst at the Bureau of Land Management had already drawn notice. Given Alejandro's position as a public servant, the police soon arrived to address the disturbance.
However, Alejandro didn't wish to escalate things further nor explain himself to his watching colleagues. The thought of being taken into custody and interrogated filled him with embarrassment. Worst of all, he might risk losing his job! When questioned, Alejandro quickly dismissed it.
