Chapter 798 Don't Spare Anyone

"You can't possibly compete with your own kids, honey."

Stealing a quick glance at him, she smiled and whispered under her breath, "What a silly man."

Hearing this, Terence pinched her nose, lifted her up and carried her over to the sofa. "Take your clothes off. I'm gonna help you take a bath."

"What? No, thanks. I can do it myself," Carla flatly replied, turning him down and pushing him away. They may be a couple, but she just couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed whenever they would take a bath together.

"Come on, babe. You don't have to be shy. Just let me give you a hand, okay?" Terence nonchalantly said, still persistently trying to help her take her clothes off.

"Well, then I guess I don't need to take a bath."

After blurting that out, Carla frowned as she stared at him.

Seeing her cheeks all puffed up, a wry smile crept onto Terence's face. "Look at you. Do you realize that Sally is exactly like you?"

Everyone around them kept saying that Sally's resemblance with Terence was so uncanny. However, aside from her physical appearance, her temper was just like that of Carla's.

"So, what? Do you have a problem with that? Of course she takes after me, she's my daughter after all." Raising her eyebrows, Carla thought that something like that shouldn't be surprising.

This made Terence burst into laughter and he gave her a pat on the buttocks. "Alright, you should hurry up. Let's take a bath so we can go to bed early. I'll tell you what, honey. I'll give you a candy after you're done with your bath. What do you say?"

Carla let out a soft chuckle after hearing him trying to coax her as if she were a child.

She couldn't bring herself to get mad at him at all. And in the end, even though Terence had told her that he would let her take a bath on her own, he still tried to squeeze into the bathroom while she was washing up, claiming that taking a bath at the same time would help them conserve water.

After they were done, he helped her dry her hair, wrapped his arms around her and gave her a kiss, and then went to sleep.

The following morning, In the AJ Building, Brian watched as the investigation team sent by the government was busy collecting evidence of the merger case.

Although they seemed to be quite approachable, the investigation they were conducting was so intense.

As it turned out, Terence was right all along. They were well prepared this time around. Bringing in a search warrant, they began to blatantly search the entire AJ Group.

In order to avoid them, Rhys left the company early as soon as he heard the news. His assistant, Chris, was the one who stayed behind for the interrogation.

When he was asked about it, Chris insisted that Rhys had his hands full with other things, so he didn't know much about this issue because it was his subordinates who were the ones dealing with this case.

Shaking his head, Brian thought it was plain to see that someone deliberately wanted to target the AJ Gr

ney? How on earth could that possibly solve the problem?

The third son of the An family is such an arrogant man. Being sent to prison should be a good way to teach him a lesson."

Upon hearing that, Secretary Liu pondered for a second and mentioned, "Sir, the person in charge of the merger case is not Terence An. It's actually the second son of the An family, who happens to be the vice president of the AJ Group."

So, if we really want to hold someone accountable for what happened, it should be the second son of the family. He's the one who would end up being sentenced to at least one year and a maximum of two years in prison."

The secretary cleared things up. At the end of the day, it was not an active crime. It was the complicated things happening within these companies which brought the man to jump off the building and take his own life.

Furthermore, it was only against the business law that the AJ Group had failed to follow its procedures. Meaning to say, there was no need for them to worry about anything whatsoever.

"One or two years should be plenty. Wait, did you just say that the man in charge of this case is Rhys?"

Gary asked as he picked up the tea cup and took another sip.

"Yes, sir,"

the secretary politely replied.

With this, Gary put down the tea cup and nodded, "Alright. I understand. Just let them take care of it. And make sure to give the public a fair explanation."

After giving his secretary the instructions, he picked up the cup of tea and drank it all up.

"Remember, once this issue is resolved, help me arrange a meeting with Rhys An, I want to speak with him directly."

Nodding his head, the secretary proceeded to leave the study.

But just as he was about to leave the courtyard...

"Mr. Liu..."

Secretary Liu turned around when he heard a voice calling out to him. Upon seeing the man standing at the door, he smiled politely at him and said, "It's getting late, sir Steven. Shouldn't you be in bed right now?"
