Scars Of A Broken Bond by Calv Momose

Chapter: 806
A few days ago, a complaint was lodged against his father’s interior design firm. Allegedly, substandard materials were used,
prompting the homeowner to voice his grievances to the Consumer Rights Association and other relevant regulatory
departments.
As experts from the concerned departments reviewed, certain materials were indeed found to be subpar.
During the mediation, the homeowner’s demeanor was both condescending and aggressive, intentionally provoking Zeke. In a fit
of rage, Zeke physically confronted the homeowner and consequently found himself under police custody.
Trevor had swiftly taken steps to secure bail.
The day before, he’d visited the hospital, attempting to make amends with the homeowner and exploring an out-of-court
settlement. His efforts were rebuffed, with the homeowner even hinting at suing Zeke.
Trevor had grown suspicious, feeling the homeowner had a vendetta against his father.
His father had been in the design business for over a decade. He was always diligent and responsible, doing his utmost to fulfill
homeowners’ wishes. How could he possibly use substandard materials?
Whether within the country or overseas, such an occurrence had never taken place previously.
His father also had a hunch that the homeowner might have been persuaded by a rival to tarnish their team’s reputation.
However, at this point, there wasn’t much they could do.
Thankfully, the request for bail got the green light, allowing his father to Leave the police station ahead of time.
Zeke’s mindset was resigned; he felt the homeowner, with his apparent vendetta, wouldn’t opt for a settlement. If charged, the
worst-case scenario would be a financial penalty.
Trevor, on the other hand, bristled at the perceived injustice. The thought of his father being framed was intolerable. He was
determined to seek a reassessment of the entire incident.
Zeke let out a resigned sigh, trying to reason with his son. “Things won’t magically change. Having been around for so many
years, I’ve seen how this goes down, especially when you’re not wealthy or influential.

Despite our materials being up to the mark, they still managed to tarnish our reputation. If you attempt to explain things to them,
you’ll just be using up your time and energy. It won’t make any difference.”
“Dad, right from the start, you shouldn’t have engaged with that man.
You could’ve outright rejected the examination results. Now, it’s probably too Late to contest their findings.”
On Saturday, Trevor made his way to the respective agency, hoping for a re-evaluation.
The official there stood his ground, asserting the report’s accuracy and dismissing the possibility of a retest.
Trevor tried to persuade him but failed.
After a morning of fruitless efforts, he left the department hall, feeling weary. He stared at the road ahead, unsure of where to
head next.
The idea of heading home seemed unappealing, so he aimlessly roamed around.
