Chapter 3684
18:44 O Chapter 3684
Zachary found himself at a loss for words. No one present, apart from him and his group, had ever seen the five elders before; even they had encountered them only recently. While the older members of their families could confirm the elders’ identities, their confirmation would lack credibility since they were with Audrey.
“I can vouch for them,” an elderly voice declared from the entrance of the mansion.
The room, which had been silent, came alive with the voice that resonated like thunder, ensuring everyone heard it. All eyes turned toward the source of the sound.
An old man in his nineties stood at the entrance, looking strong despite leaning on a cane. He had just exited a car and, after steadying himself, walked toward the group without assistance, followed closely by a few younger individuals.
Everyone recognized this man, including Zachary and his companions from Wiltspoon. The York family had business in Jensburg, where Kevin had been stationed for some time. Naturally, they were familiar with the most respected figure in Jensburg’s business world—Mr. Fontaine, the patriarch of the Fontaine family.
Although retired, Mr. Fontaine still wielded considerable influence within the business community. He was well-known for his charitable efforts, having assisted many people over the years. His kindness and reputation made him one of the most beloved figures in Jensburg.
Mr. Fontaine also kept up with modern trends, creating short videos of his daily life that garnered him a substantial following and further elevated his recognition.
“Mr. Fontaine.”
“Mr. Fontaine.”
Everyone greeted him warmly, as if he were an old friend. The media quickly directed their cameras toward him, capturing multiple shots.
Mr. Fontaine approached Mr. Jimenez, giving him a friendly pat on the shoulder, showcasing their familiarity.
Upon seeing his old friend, he said, “Jimenez, I never thought I’d see you again in this lifetime. I’m glad you’re alive.”
Mr. Jimenez replied, “You’re still alive? I thought you had passed.”
With a smile, Mr. Fontaine responded, “I’m not dead yet, my friend. How could I be? We’re both over 90, and it seems fate has been kind, allowing us to meet again.”
The two men hailed from the same generation.
When they lived in Jensburg, most of those present hadn’t even been born yet.
Although Mr. Jimenez had worked for the former matriarch of the Farrell family, his role permitted him to interact with Mr. Fontaine frequently. They weren’t exactly close friends, but they had encountered each other many times and were quite familiar with one another.
