Daddy Fantasy World Restaurant

Chapter 2356: Stay In Jail For the Rest of His Life!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Everyone from the restaurant knew about the author’s clarification note and the publishing house’s owner being arrested.

Everyone was naturally overjoyed. After all, they had been hearing customers whispering around for the past two days and that brought everyone’s mood down. Now that the rumors were proven to be false and the baddies were caught, this matter had come to an end. New chaptᴇrs are published on novelenglish.net . (ꜰ)ire.ɴet

As for who did it, Mag did not admit it, neither did he deny anything. He just said that a friend gave him a little help.

As for who was the author, Mag kept it a secret for Cynthia and said it was a perverted middle-aged man around 40 years old.

“Young Mistress, Cyril has been arrested,” a female secretary said while she walked into Gloria’s office.

Gloria was stunned upon hearing that. She placed her pen down and looked at the secretary as she asked, “What happened?”

“I heard the news from your family just now. It was said that he was involved in contractual fraud and breach of contract, and he has to pay 30 million copper coins for the contract breach. As the sum was too large, the city lord’s castle detained him,” the secretary said quickly. “On top of that, I found out that this seems to be related to Boss Mag from Mamy Restaurant.”

“Mr. Mag?” Gloria was puzzled. “What has this got to do with him?”

“Erm...” The secretary blushed. However, she did not dare to keep anything from Gloria. She told her about the rumor of Boss Mag being a scumbag, which had spread around Chaos City for the past couple of days because of “Boss Mag’s Indecent Little Wife”.

“Why don’t I know about this?” Gloria frowned. She had been busy with the spring collection for the past two days and did not expect something like this to happen.

“The author came out today to refute the claims and prove that Boss Mag was innocent. The book was also taken down from the shelves.” The secretary quickly continued speaking, “I just didn’t expect that the owner of the publishing house and Cyril would be arrested.”

Gloria thought for a while and did not comment on that. Instead, she asked, “What was the reaction from the family? Did Grandfather say anything?”

“I heard that when the officers came over to arrest Cyril, both he and Madam tried to resist with force but Master arrived and erupted in anger. He gave both Cyril and Madam a slap, and even said that the Moreton Family would not put in even a dime or an ounce of energy for Cyril.”

“I understand. You may leave.” Gloria nodded slightly. When the secretary left, she showed a shocked expression.

She knew that Grandfather had disliked Grandma and Cyril a lot since they escaped northward. However, she did not expect that he would slap Grandma and even declare that he would not save Cyril.

Grandma cared a lot about her pride and she doted on Cyril a lot. Now that Grandfather behaved this way, it was akin to bruising her pride.

Gloria would definitely not believe that Mag was a scumbag. Otherwise, was she not pretty enough for him to have previously tried anything with her?

She was not too certain if Mag was the one who caused the matter to end the way it did but she still thought that it was a possibility.

Mr. Mag might be gentle and generous, but he was not a pushover. Cyril and Delmar’s cooperation this time meant that Mag was also involved in this incident.

Such a retaliation was rather befitting of his character.

30,000 copper coins was not a small sum even for her right now, much less Cyril, who could never keep money in his pockets.

Right now, Grandfather refused to help him and it would now all depend on whether Grandma was willing to fork out her personal stash for her beloved youngest son.

“Serves him right,” Gloria chided softly. After that, she smiled and continued her work.

She did not forget Cyril’s face when he wanted to chase them out of the Moreton Family. Although she had never thought of exacting revenge, she still felt fabulous seeing grandma and him receive their punishment.

The city lord’s castle was very efficient. Within three days, Mag had received the result of the case.

Delmar Publishing House returned the deposit of 5 million copper coins and paid another 6 million copper coins in cash. On top of that, the two houses and one publishing house under his name were auctioned out. These properties were expected to fetch about 4 million copper coins altogether. The remaining 20 million copper coins were impossible to raise.

Meanwhile, Cyril was not doing any better. He had currently only handed 500,000 copper coins over. However, the city lord’s castle passed the message saying that the Moreton Family’s Matriarch Denise wanted to meet him for a talk.

Mag did not want to meet that old witch so he told the representative from the city lord’s castle, “30 million copper coins, not a single cent less, in three days. Otherwise, let your son stay in jail for the rest of his life!”

That was how overbearing he was with a backing.

If it was Jeffree, there might still be room for negotiation. However, even his birth father could not be bothered with this foolish son. So what should Mag be wary of?

Mag had also found out about Delmar’s situation. He had a wife and two children, an eight-year-old son and a four-and-a-half-year-old daughter.

To lose everything was a rather heavy punishment for him. Mag had already told Dicus that he could understand and forgive Delmar but that it should only be announced after Cyril forks out the money.

“Scumbag!”

Matriarch Denise smashed the cup in her hand on the floor. She was red with fury as she cursed Mag. “That scumbag is too much!”

The maids all hid at the side, shaking in fear, afraid to speak.

Aviva brought her two daughters with her, crying and wailing, as she said, “Mother, you have to save Cyril, you dote on him the most. If he has to stay in jail for the rest of his life, what would become of us?”

“Grandma, please save father.”

“We beg you.”

Herny and Herty hugged each of Denise’s arms as they begged.

Ever since Gloria came into power, life had been tough for them. Now that Cyril was arrested, they had lost their pillar of support and they had no idea what to do.

Denise held her two granddaughters in her embrace as tears streamed down her face. She said as she pounded her chest and stomped her feet, “I want to save my son too. But where do I get the 30 million? I’ve only saved up 10 million copper coins after all these years. Even if I sell all the shops and houses under my name, there’s still 10 million to raise.”

“What should we do then?” Aviva asked as she wept.

“In my opinion, there are two ways right now,” Aurora, who had been watching from the side, said with a smile.

“What ideas do you have?” Aviva asked.

Denise looked over as well.

“30 million copper coins is no small sum. It is obvious now that Father is refusing to fork out money and doesn’t care about what happens to Second Brother.” Aurora said with a smile, “In my opinion, the first way is to not fork out the money too. We’ll let him stay a few years in jail. In that case, we don’t have to fork out the 30 million for the scumbag. We can leave the money for the three of you so at least you have something to depend on.”

Aviva and her two daughters wavered but they did not say anything at the moment.

“Nonsense! How can I let my son go through such sufferings?!” Denise was enraged.

“In that case, you’re left with only the second way. Mother, since Father refuses to help, you can only go to your family.” Aurora shrugged.
