Chapter 385 - EMPTY PROMISES (1/2)

The Chairman of the International Health Alliance looked at two of his board members with his old but piercing eyes. The entire group had left the Netherlands and returned to London where the headquarter was situated.

”We are not completely out of the woods. We have only been granted a reprieve. You understand that, don't you?” He spoke.  ​​

”Yes.” The two men responded.

”William, I know you can be a bit restless, but do not be careless during this period. The Interpol will be watching us, waiting for us to make a mistake.” The Chairman's eyes were sharp.

William Springer was the enforcer for the board. He was the man who cleaned up the messes for the IHA board. Unfortunately, he was also their primary point of weakness.

As a rash man with a lot of anger, he was prone to fits of madness. Those fits could expose them, so Interpol would probably focus on him. They would watch and wait until he made a mistake. And then, they would use him to get to the rest of them.

And William knew all their secrets. If he was arrested, he was unlikely to go quietly. He would probably bring down everyone with him.

If the international court and Interpol agents were not watching them so closely, the Chairman would have dealt with William cleanly. This type of person was better off dead when a situation like this arose. His continued existence was a danger to everyone.

”Chairman, I understand what is at stake. Trust me. I will not do anything to jeopardise our freedom or our future.” William said with an ingratiating smile.

The Chairman became a little more severe.

”I do not want empty promises. Do you ȧssume I am unaware of the matter involving you and the prȯstɨtutė at the hotel in Amsterdam?” His voice was sharp and cruel. ”Do you know some Interpol agents took her in and questioned her?”

William remembered that wh*re he had hired and cut loose before the end of the night, and a cold sweat trickled down his back. He did not think that it would attract attention since he did not do anything illegal.

However, seeing the Chairman's eyes, he understood that he had made a mistake. He should never have tried to vent his anger in that way. If the Chairman took action against him, no one would be able to save him.

”I did not do anything to her. She is just a sl*tty b*tch I used. Everything she said was a lie.” He defended himself with a blotchy face.

The Chairman's powerful presence bore down on him, causing him to almost lose his ability to breathe. It was obvious he was very angry.

”You are fortunate that she was too afraid to rat you out to the Interpol. Otherwise, we would still be held in the Netherlands indefinitely. This kind of willful behaviour will not be tolerated. If you want to go back to your carefree life, wait until the coast is completely clear. Understood?” The Chairman asked.

”Yes,” William responded servilely.

The Chairman turned to the other man. This man was Simon Burke. He was known to be the most level-headed and stable member of the board. He was the charming one who maintained relationships between the board and the important directors and managers of IHA.

His mild demeanour gave him an easier time with the international court liaisons and Interpol agents.
