"Alright, the oath has been made, so you really can leave now. Oh, and when you go out, be nicer to my dad. Also, it looks like a lot of things got broken during the fight just now, so remember to pay for the damages!" Andrew Grant said, holding back his laughter.

"Of course, that's how it should be," the two hurriedly replied, with none of their earlier arrogance remaining.

"Then it's settled. Let's head out," Andrew Grant said.

"Yes, yes, after you, Mr. Andrew." David Lane quickly opened the door and made a gesture of invitation, while Olivia Baker gave Andrew Grant a flattering, ingratiating smile.

To be honest, if Olivia Baker didn't wear such heavy makeup, she would actually be quite attractive, with a great figure—curves in all the right places. That coquettish smile made Andrew Grant, a teenager in the throes of puberty, feel his heart skip a beat, and his cheeks flushed slightly.

After the fight at the farmhouse restaurant, the other customers had already left, and the only ones remaining were a few young people who had come with David Lane and Olivia Baker.

When they saw the inner room door open and David Lane and Olivia Baker following behind Andrew Grant with forced smiles, looking like two lackeys, their eyes nearly popped out of their heads.

"Uncle, I'm really sorry, it was all my fault just now. Here is one thousand yuan, it's for today's meal and compensation for the damages. Is it enough?" As soon as they came out, David Lane hurried forward, bowed to William Grant, and offered a thousand yuan with both hands.

A thousand yuan was already a considerable sum at the time, and it made William Grant so nervous that his heart was pounding. He quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, that's not necessary. It was our carelessness that caused this young lady's clothes to get dirty. We should be treating you to this meal, how could I possibly take your money? No, no!"

Seeing that William Grant refused to accept, David Lane was terrified and on the verge of tears.

If you don't take it, are you trying to get me, Mr. Lane, killed?

"Uncle, we young people were too impulsive and ruined your business for the day. You have to take this thousand yuan," David Lane insisted, trying to force the money into William Grant's hands.

Of course, William Grant didn't dare accept it—these were people with powerful backgrounds!

So one tried to give, the other tried to refuse, and the other young people watching were nearly petrified.

Was this really their boss, Mr. Lane? The same Mr. Lane who could throw his weight around all over Changxi County? The son of the owner of Changxi Grand Hotel?

"Dad, since they're being so sincere, just accept it," Andrew Grant said when he saw his father didn't dare take the money.

William Grant looked at his son in confusion. He knew that ever since his son started following Brian Clark, he couldn't treat him like a child anymore.

"Don't worry, they've already realized their mistake," Andrew Grant said with a smile and a nod when he saw his father looking at him.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Andrew is right, we've realized our mistake," David Lane and Olivia Baker quickly nodded.

"Mr. Andrew!" The lackeys were completely dumbfounded when they heard this. What kind of situation was this? People in their twenties calling a sixteen- or seventeen-year-old "哥"? Although William Grant was still a bit puzzled, seeing his son nod, he finally accepted the thousand yuan.

Actually, a thousand yuan was a big temptation for William Grant. Even during the busy summer season, his farmhouse restaurant only made two or three thousand yuan a month in profit. In the off-season, sometimes not a single customer would show up all day.

Now that his son was going to study in the city, and would definitely go to college in the future, there would be a lot of expenses. As a father, he naturally had to work hard to earn money.

Seeing William Grant accept the money, David Lane and Olivia Baker finally breathed a huge sigh of relief, apologized a few more times, and then hurriedly left with their group.

"Mr. Lane, Ms. Olivia, should we go back first or call the police now?" On the way to their parking spot after leaving the farmhouse restaurant, one of the young men asked.

"Call the police? Call your damn mother!" David Lane and Olivia Baker were so startled by the suggestion that they nearly had a heart attack. David Lane immediately kicked the guy in anger, while Olivia Baker swung her handbag at him.

Call the police? Damn it, are you trying to get us struck by lightning?

Seeing David Lane and Olivia Baker both lose their tempers, the lackeys were all stunned.

What was going on? Was this really the end of it?

No way! Mr. Lane's father was a big shot in both the underworld and legitimate circles in Changxi County, and Ms. Olivia's background was even more impressive—her father was the boss of the leading company in Changxi County, and her uncle was the executive deputy director of the county public security bureau, rumored to be up for promotion next year. With backgrounds like that, to be beaten by a teenager in some rural place and just let it go?

"I'm warning you all, never mention what happened today again. And from now on, if you see Mr. Andrew or the owner of that farmhouse restaurant, you better show some respect, or just stay out of their way! If any of you dare cause them trouble, don't blame me for turning against you," David Lane warned fiercely.

"Same goes for me!" Olivia Baker added coldly.
