Chapter 289

“Jasper, don’t act rashly,” Jim said softly.

Jasper chuckled lightly. He had not planned to do anything to George from the start.

The difference between an adult and a child was that one of them knew how to weigh the pros and cons. They would not be blinded by momentary emotions.

If he crippled George, he would feel great. However, what was going to happen next? Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

He would not be able to escape the consequences of his crimes.

It would be such a tremendous loss if he caused Julian to get convicted because of a minor character like George.

However, Jasper did not mind scaring him a little.

“Tell me, who’s that Mr. Combe who’s behind your back?” Jasper asked coldly.

George did not dare to hide anymore. He spilled everything as if he was spilling a bag of beans.

“Mr. Combe is the second son of the Combe family. He just came back from studying overseas. Since most of the big shots from the Combe family are involved in public relations and Mr. Combe has a celebrity girlfriend, he plans to get into the media industry.

“Mr. Combe contacted me through someone and asked me to look for a media company for him. Coincidentally, I was watching Jim during that time and knew he was looking for a media company too. As such, I contacted Easy Media following his clues. In the end, Mr. Combe was satisfied and that’s how this happened.”

Jasper’s eyes looked cold. He stood up and said to Jim, “Uncle Yapp, I think this is more complicated than we thought.”

Jim looked coldly at George who was on the floor and said, “I didn’t think that everything started because this b*stard was coming between us. I was wondering why it was such a coincidence that Mr. Combe got the news the moment I contacted Easy Media.”

Jasper peered at George who was lying on the ground and did not make a peep. He said flatly, “Get lost.”

After George heard that, it was as if he had received the greatest pardon in the world. He scrambled to get up from the floor before limping away.

On the other hand, the other five fighters helped each other up from the ground before running away too.

Julian looked at the figures of the people who were running away. There was a hint of regret in his eyes… He was still reminiscing this fondly because he did not have enough.

At a distance, George went into the car and slammed the door heavily. His racing heart finally calmed down.

After the fear went away, the bone-deep hatred started surging from within.

He turned his head and glared at Jasper who was at a distance away with rancor in his eyes. He despised him so much that he almost crushed his own teeth.

“B*stard, I’ve been mingling in Swallow Capital for so many years and I’ve never suffered such a huge loss before! I was even beaten up by an animal!”

At this moment, the bruised and battered fighters all got into the car as well. They were all looking at George with resentment.

“What are we doing to do now, boss?”

One of the fighters asked with his fangs baring. When he opened his mouth, it had tugged the wound on the corner of his mouth. He sucked in a deep breath from the pain.

Even though George wanted so badly to slap each and every one of them and call all of them good-for- nothings for embarrassing him, he knew he could not do that. Otherwise, his popularity among them would disappear and if that happened, who would still want to work with him?

George controlled his bad mood and took out a briefcase from the compartment of the armrest. He then took out wads of cash for them. “This is for your medical expenses. You guys should recuperate for the time being.”

The fighter who was talking before took the cash happily. When he was holding the cold hard cash in his hands, the wounds on his body did not feel so painful anymore.

Even though they had gotten the money for their medical expenses, they were still pissed. After all, they were beaten up and lost their dignity as well!

“Boss, we can’t just let this go.”

George laughed sinisterly. “Of course. I’m going to see Mr. Combe now and I’ll add more details to the story. I want to see if that little idiot can still jump around so arrogantly after this! We’re working for Mr. Combe now, and he’ll definitely step in regarding this matter. I want to see how he’ll continue being so arrogant then!”
