Chapter 806

Chapter 806:

The thugs nodded in understanding. Those in the underworld knew Leon was not to be trifled with.

Forty minutes later, Jett arrived at the scene, visibly flustered. Fernanda briefly explained what had happened. One could tell how sorry Jett was as he apologized.

He and Nettie had been arguing for the past few days because of their son’s issues. Nettie had been urging him to bring Beckett back to Zenithium, but he had no connections with anyone influential in Esaham to make that happen. As a result, Nettie had called him useless and said many harsh things.

He hadn’t seen Nettie this morning and had assumed she had gone to cause trouble outside the mental hospital again. However, he hadn’t expected her to cause trouble at Fernanda’s studio.

Jett bowed his head and apologized. As soon as Nettie saw this, she immediately began to scold him.

“Take her with you now that you’re here. I just hope she won’t cause any more trouble. Creating a scene won’t help Beckett,” Fernanda said softly to Jett.

“I know. I’m terribly sorry.”

“The equipment she broke…” Fernanda frowned.

“I’ll make sure they’re paid for,” Jett promised.

“Alright. You can take her now,” Fernanda said, dismissing them.

Nettie, however, didn’t seem willing to leave. She insisted that Fernanda owed her an explanation. Jett, further embarrassed by her behavior, dragged her out.

Clement didn’t seem pleased by this. “Are you really going to let them off this easy?” he asked.

“They merely caused a little disturbance. They didn’t kill or maim anyone. If we involve the police, they’ll just get a warning. I don’t want to waste my time on that,” Fernanda said with a smile. This incident, however, had shown that Nettie was deeply affected by the situation. Her mental health was in poor shape.

“Does it hurt? Why did you get into a fight with them?” Fernanda asked, gently patting Clement’s head.

“They can’t just barge in here without consequences. I decided to teach them a lesson they would never forget!” Clement snorted.

He would fight to the death to defend Fernanda. He cared little about anything, but when it came to matters concerning her, it was a different story.

“I understand your frustration, but you need to exercise more restraint in the future to avoid escalating the situation. I’m only worried about you,” Fernanda said with a smile, gently patting Clement’s head.

Clement blushed furiously at this. He didn’t like Fernanda touching his head, as it made him feel as though she saw him as a child. He was no longer a child. He no longer needed Fernanda to take care of him; now, he was the one capable of protecting her.

“Fernanda,” Sloane called out, tapping her on the shoulder and gesturing toward the door.

Fernanda turned and saw Ector, with a visibly displeased Kevin trailing behind him. Kevin glared disapprovingly at her and Clement.

“Ector, why are you two here?” Fernanda asked with a smile.
