The Sleeper's Wrath and His Wife's Strike novel Chapter 182

But outright robbery was beneath contempt.

He couldn’t agree with it at all.

No one knew Yves better than old Mr. Quigley. Calm and unhurried, he said, “Guess why we all saw the livestream while abroad? Do you really think he could have made that happen?”

Leif drew a sharp breath, exclaiming, “So it was all a setup?”

“Obviously, Lester’s the loser here, yet he struts around as if he’s won the lottery.

Leif whispered, “Grandpa, should I book you a flight home? Yves wants you back, too.”

Mr. Quigley hadn’t planned on returning back so soon, but now that there was a traitor in the family, he knew he had to go back.

“Leif, get me on the earliest flight you can. I’ll handle family matters myself.” Mr. Quigley was itching to walk straight into the Quigley Group boardroom and knock some sense into everyone who needed it.

“Well, the contract is here, and it’s valid the moment you sign. Yves, I expect you to honor it. A lawsuit would be unsightly for everyone,” Lester said, his tone patronizing.

Yves kept smiling, though there was nothing friendly about it.

“I’d suggest you take a closer look at that contract.”
