"Hey, Mr. President, it's Cari, about the vice president..."
Cari carefully explained the situation to Cameron Southwell, hinting at the loss of money, but Cameron's angry shouts still came from the other end of the line.
"You prodigal son! Don't think I don't know, you must've gambled it away again. Where is he? Get him to answer the phone!" Cameron was nearly bursting with anger, and even though the Southwell Family had some wealth, they couldn't withstand Shane's wastefulness.
And the matter of Shane embezzling two million in company funds had just been covered up, and now this!
Cari held the phone a bit away from her ear, awkwardly saying, "Mr. President, the vice president is not in a good position to take the call."
It's not just inconvenient, Shane can't take it at all; he had several teeth knocked out and finds it hard to speak.
Even if he recovers, he probably won't grow new teeth and will need implants.
