Chapter 79: Please Punish Me

Meanwhile, Percy's secretary knocked on the door. The restaurant’s soundproofing wasn’t great, so the commotion from the lobby was clearly heard in the private room. Percy's secretary, Hubbard, had been brought over from Percy’s family. Percy came from an ancient noble lineage. During the industrial revolution, their family was suppressed and nearly wiped out, leaving only a great-granduncle, who, due to poor health, had been sent to a monastery and survived. This great-granduncle secretly changed his name and built a vast business empire. Following the traditions of the ancient family, he sought suitable children from the slums to train them as personal bodyguards and assistants for the family's descendants. Hubbard was one of those chosen and trained from a young age to serve Percy, knowing his temper and when he was upset. Entering the room, Hubbard bowed, his face filled with guilt. "I'm sorry, boss. I couldn’t keep him in check. Please punish me." Percy glanced at Irene.
