Heinz stood there for a long time, listening and taking in everything. Lawrence was so angry that he started to become crass and mean.
The more Heinz stood by listening, the more uncomfortable he felt.
He then finally spoke out, "Can this end?"
Perhaps his voice was too deep, and it surprised everyone.
Lawrence quickly turned around and saw him. His eyes fell on him and he saw that Heinz's face was dark with an imposing manner.
Lawrence was caught by surprise that for a moment he almost lost his breath. He took a deep breath and stood there rigidly looking at Heinz. He even stuttered a little, "Hei... Heinz."
Heinz didn't say anything. He just stood there and looked at him with a cold glare.
Lawrence felt that his heart was empty.
His eyes were filled with uneasiness and he studied Heinz carefully. The arrogance he had towards the receptionist earlier was all gone.
However, Heinz didn't say anything. He just stared at Lawrence with a cold gaze making him feeling a little nervous and uneasy.
In an instant, whispers broke out in the crowd.
"This is Heinz! He's really Heinz's father! I thought this old man was lying!"
"He's Heinz's father. I know him. He left home a long time ago. Heinz's mother seemed to have suffered a lot. She died of depression."
"No wonder he has no money to live here, and no one cares about him."
There was a flurry of whispers, and the voices never stopped.
Heinz completely ignored the whispers and stared at his father coldly.
Lawrence didn't dare to speak.
The receptionist was surprised to see Heinz but then she quickly recovered herself and smiled. She said, "Mr. Jones, this man here says that he's your father and that you'll be here to pay his bill."
Heinz's lips seemed to curl up, but he wasn't smiling. He looked dangerous.
The receptionist was astonished and didn't dare to speak.
Lawrence remained silent.
Heinz took out his phone and made a phone call. He said in a low voice, "Sakura Hotel, come here."
A few minutes later.
Heinz was invited by the general manager of Sakura Hotel to the lounge. The manager personally delivered him a cup of tea.
Heinz didn't pay any attention to him.
"Mr. Jones, I'm sorry. Master Jones' expenses these few months at our hotel have just been too much. According to our regulations, we have to take some actions. We're sorry for any inconvenience caused."
"You are just doing your job." Heinz said faintly. "I don't blame you."
The business could not be unprofitable which was understandable.
When the general manager saw that Heinz was reasonable, he quickly smiled and said, "Thank you for your understanding. Would Master Jones continue living here?"
"No need," Heinz said flatly, "My assistant will come over to settle the bill and pick him up later."
"Alright, thank you."
Soon after, Lester arrived. He went to pay Lawrence's hotel bills.
Then he went to Heinz.
"President Jones, everything is done."
When Heinz saw how this man was acting shamelessly yet in a pitiful way, flaunting his son to the receptionist, he felt upset and distressed at the same time. This man was, after all, his father.
After a long silence, Lawrence was still looking at Heinz pitifully. Heinz then spoke, "I don't have time to waste with you here."
He still spoke in such a cold and indifferent tone to his father.
Lawrence was stunned and had to say, "I don't have anywhere to go and I don't have any money now. I'm being chased everywhere. Can you help me?" "Why should I help you?" Heinz asked coldly.
Lawrence was dumbstruck by his words. He met his son's sharp gaze that was cold and emotionless.
Lawrence pressed his lips together and took a deep breath. He then said carefully, "You helped me to settle my bill just now, so I know that you're not that cruel. I know I can't ask you for help but if you can, please help me."
"You're really shameless." Heinz sneered, "You're just brazen. If you can say it so well why do you have to use my name just now? How is what I have today related to you?"
"You are my son." Lawrence said cautiously, "And anyways, I am your father. Although I haven't done much for you, I have provided you with a pretty good life."
"Don't you think it's very shameful for you to say that when you're asking me for a favor?"
"I'm more than shameless, I'm brazenly audacious," Lawrence said in a soft voice. His voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.
He smiled bitterly and lowered his head, no longer looking at Heinz.
"You're right. I'm the one who brought this upon myself. I deserve it, and I shouldn't ask you for it."
Heinz narrowed his eyes and said icily, "You're saying that and you now even have the audacity to ask me for help? Do you think that I will forgive you just because you act pitiful?"
Lawrence froze for a second.
Heinz smirked again. "You were very arrogant when you were acting like a rogue at the hotel."
"That's just a facade that I had to resolve to use to cover up my non- existential riches," Lawrence gave a sad smile and slumped down onto the pavement.
