Chapter 2386
“What you’re saying is…” After a long moment of silence, Charles lifted
his head to stare intently at Jim’s face.” When you first started working
for Landry Group, you were brainwashed by Butler Fred and Mickey into
committing these acts of treachery?”.
He furrowed his eyebrows and added, “But even though it was seven or
eight years ago, Rosalyn and I had still treated you well, hadn’t we, Jim? If
so, why would you be persuaded by Butler Fred into betraying our family?
Besides, even if he had successfully talked you into doing these, what
happened after that?”
Charles raised his uninjured hand and snatched the documents out of
Jim’s hand. There was a hint of fury in his wizened gaze as he glared at

name are still in business until now. Not only that, but they’re becoming
more and more successful by the day!
“Rosalyn and I can understand when you say you were brainwashed and
didn’t know better. After all, every one of us had committed mistakes
when we were young, but even after knowing you made a mistake, you
never tried to correct yourself and instead started investing more effort
into running these private companies. “Moreover, you never tried to help
the Landry family financially despite knowing about the hardship we had
gone through for the past year.” Charles fixated his angry gaze on Jim’s
face and snarled,” How’re you going to explain yourself now?”
Jim furrowed his brows in exasperation when faced with his father’s
blatant fury. He sighed and plopped down in a chaise lounge, then turned
to glance at Butler Fred, who was still restrained. “Are you going to
explain, or do you want me to do it?”
The servants had managed to help Butler Fred up from the ground, but at this moment, his face was stained with
dirt and dust. When he heard Jim talking to him, he could not help sneering as he replied, “Are you kidding me,
Young Master Landry? “If I told them the truth about everything, will you be able to convince the Landry and Lynch
families to let me go and show me mercy?”. Jim narrowed his eyes and glanced first at Charles, then at Joshua.
Finally, he burst into laughter and said, “It’s clear that I can’t do so.”
“Well, in that case, why should I help you?” Butler Fred sneered. “Do you honestly think I’d be so kind as to help
your cause?”
A glimmer of triumph flashed through his eyes as he added, “You have no way of explaining yourself out of this, do
you? Otherwise , why would you have asked me for help? I’m sorry to say this, but…”
He narrowed his eyes. “Helping you is the last thing I want to do right now, so—”

“So let me explain instead,” Mickey interrupted before Butler Fred could even finish his sentence.
Mickey had not uttered a single word from the moment he followed Butler Fred, Rosalyn, and Luna into the garden,
so Luna and Joshua were both surprised to hear him speak suddenly.
Luna turned to stare at him in bewilderment.
She did not understand why Mickey would volunteer himself after hearing
Butler Fred declare his refusal to help Jim.
Did he have a conscience after all?
Or, was he trying to draw the line between him and Butler Fred so he
would have a chance of freedom? “Mickey…”
