Chapter 1514
Pandora said, “Unless he’s cool with his kids getting picked on forever, he can handle this.”
Hannah replied, “I get you, but Dad’s never been one for confrontation. I’m worried he won’t know how to deal with
it.”
Pandora countered, “He doesn’t necessarily have to throw a punch. As long as it sorts the problem, any method is
fair game.”
Hannah stayed silent.
About an hour later, Jeo came home. Hannah greeted him,, “Dad, how’d it go?”
Jeo replied, “That jerk, Roger, got hauled off by the cops.”e2

Jeo took a seat, sipped on his coffee, and then said, “I found surveillance footage from two different places. It
clearly showed him siccing his dog on Farley on purpose. I wasn’t sure if that counted as assault, so I called the
cops. They checked out the evidence, asked if I wanted to settle it privately. I said no, so they took Roger in.”
Pandora served him a piece of grilled meat. Jeo’s eyes lit up, “Darling, it’s been ages since you served me food.”
Pandora replied, “You’ve been good today, so you deserve a treat.”
Jeo said, “Thanks for the recognition. I’ll do even better next time.”
Pandora brought out a freshly grilled fish, “I saved this fish just for you. Try it. Is it good?”
Jeo said, “Your grilled fish is definitely the best in the world.“”
Pandora laughed, “You’re such a smooth talker!”
Farley didn’t say a word. Was he seeing things? His parents were actually bantering with each other.
Hannah also stayed silent. She had never seen her parents being so affectionate before.
Jarvis said, “To my in–laws, let me toast to your everlasting happiness.”
Seeing Jarvis, Jeo remembered Steven, “Did Steven leave?”
Pandora said, “I sent him away.”
Jeo said, “He helped us a lot today. We didn’t even offer him dinner. Isn’t that rude?”
Pandora said, “When he was bullying your daughter, did he think he was being rude? Now he does you a little favor
and you start siding with him. People really do have a lot in common.”
Jeo, who was just praised by Pandora, laughed awkwardly, “Jarvis, can you drink?”
Jarvis said, “My grandfather loves to drink. I often drink with him so I think I can handle a bottle.”

my daughter last, I hope you’ll treat her well.”
Jarvis said, “Definitely.”
The two clinked their bottles together, taking drinks and chatting away. They got along eventually.
Steven was the only one feeling left out. His car was parked outside the village. He hadn’t left since he got back,
and he’d been chain–smoking.
Rick came to report, “President Dixon, your father–in–law is really smart. He found surveillance footage that proved
Roger sicced his dog on Farley on purpose and had him arrested,”
Steven glanced at him, not saying a word. Rick was a bit nervous at the silent treatment, President Dixon, did I do
or say something wrong?”
Steven said, “My father–in–law is pretty smart, huh? He’s my elder. What tone were you using when you mentioned
him?”
