Chapter 6532

As soon as Jacob sent the voice message, Mr. Bay called. Jacob quickly answered, asking nervously, "How are things over there, Mr. Bay?" "How, you ask…?" Mr. Bay sighed in exasperation.

The only excuse I have to stop them is that we don't have the facts, but this issue still needs to be taken care of. "So, be straight with me. Were you a part of this?
