“Jacob, didn't you call your dad just now? Was it your dad who helped us?” Megan urged.
Jacob had been in a daze since Levi showed up. He only snapped back to reality when Megan called his name. Jolting up from
his chair, he blurted out, “Huh? Megan, what did you say?”
“I said, didn't you call your dad just now? Did Mr. Xanthos show up to apologize because your dad used his connections?”
Megan repeated patiently.
“Uh, t-that's likely,” Jacob stammered.
Despite saying that, he didn't share her sentiments deep down.
During the call, his father had clearly told him to stay out of the Zeller family's business, or risk dying a horrible death.
“Why don't you give your dad a call?” Megan urged.

“Oh, all right. I'll call him now.”
Under her insistence, Jacob had no choice but to pretend he was heading out to make the call.
Not long after Jacob went out to “call” his father, Harold came back.
“What happened, Mr. Zeller?”
Harold was confused when he saw the Zeller family sitting still instead of digging in. The food on the table were barely touched.
He assumed Levi and the others hadn't shown up to apologize.
“Oh, you're back, Harold. A while ago, Mr. Xanthos from Paradise Hotel showed up with Thiago and apologized to us. Do you
know about that?” Glen asked hopefully.

He wanted nothing more than for Harold to admit that Levi and the others had come under Harold's orders.
“I just came back, Mr. Zeller. How did Levi and the rest apologize to you?” Harold neither admitted nor denied it. On the contrary,
he seemed curious.
“Dad, I told you it wasn't him. Do you believe me now?” Megan exclaimed hastily. Deep down, she heaved a sigh of relief when

Harold didn't admit it was him.
Glen said nothing, but a hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes.
Right then, Jacob returned after he was done putting on an act.
“Jacob, what did your dad say? Did he use his connections to help us?” Megan inquired eagerly.
Initially, Jacob wanted to leave, but he changed his mind when he saw Harold. “My dad said he did try to ask for help,” Jacob
said. He was obviously playing with words.
I said my dad asked for help, but I didn't specify that Mr. Xanthos came here to apologize because of my dad. It's up to them to
interpret the situation.
Indeed, as expected, Megan grew elated after hearing that.
“Hear that, Dad? I told you it was the Simmons family who helped us. I can't believe Jacob's dad is that powerful. It's no wonder
they are one of the few prominent families in Norham!” Megan said excitedly.
After a pause, she suggested, “Dad, you never got to participate in the urban renewal project in Southvale, right? You have been
fretting about it.” Then, she turned to Jacob. “Why don't you talk to your dad? Perhaps he has a way to slot my dad in.”
Megan took Jacob to his seat. She went on to compliment him before her father with the intention of insulting Harold.
Harold was a brute who had caused a commotion at their residence, while Jacob was polite, handsome, prominent, and capable.

It was obvious to the Zeller family members, except Glen, which of the two was a more suitable match for Megan..
