Chapter 33: Officer Brayden
Early the next morning, Lance picked up a copy of the Jingang Daily. Alberto had bought 50 copies to ensure everyone in his company saw it, including Lance.
The front page of the lifestyle section featured a photo taking up nearly a fifth of the page: a restaurant with a septic truck overturned on the roadside, sewage flooding the sidewalk, and the glass walls of the restaurant visibly smeared with waste.
The restaurant’s name was crystal clear in the photo, along with the neon chef sign modeled after Mr. Anderson himself, frying pan in hand. The caption read, "Drunk Driving: A Public Safety Threat," and the article discussed the dangers of drunk driving.
Toward the end, it casually mentioned that a restaurant had been affected by an unfortunate incident of sewage flooding, forcing it to close temporarily.
While the article focused on public safety, readers were far more interested in the ill-fated restaurant.
Everyone in Alberto’s circle knew he’d been furious with Anderson for months. Now, it seemed he’d finally gotten his revenge, and the whole office was delighted. After all, a happy boss meant easier days for everyone—no getting sent out on errands under the blazing midday sun!
