In that moment, Zachary, recently hung up on by Jacob, felt as though the world was crumbling around him.
Regret consumed him, regret for ever getting involved with Jacob. Despite knowing that Jacob was a braggart with limited abilities, he had tried to please him, solely because he was Charlie's father-in-law. But now, he realized the futility of his efforts.
He had expected that a normal person would at least acknowledge the wagging tail of a dog trying to please them, even if they didn't offer It any food. But he had never anticipated that Jacob would shamelessly snatch away the food from the dog's mouth and then kick It aside.
Now, consumed by remorse, Zachary knew that there was no turning back. The most pressing matter at hand was to find a solution that would appease Jacob before his arrival.
Feeling helpless, he resorted to desperate measures. He immediately contacted his henchman and instructed him, "Find someone who appears fierce and older to pose as your brother and confront Felix. Tell him that you have stolen the item and demand its return. If he refuses, threaten to report him to the police. And if reporting him doesn't yield results, take him to court. Let him face the consequences!"
