Dudley began to struggle maddeningly as he shouted at Jasper, “Jasper Laine, I hope you f*cking die!”
Dudley mightjust be a trust~fund child, but had long been aware that what happened this morning was inevitable. He also knew that his family business was in grave danger, and that all of this was Jasper’s fault.
“You f*cking set me and my dad up. Are you even human?! I’m telling you, karma will get back at you for how cruel you are!”
Jasper looked at Dudley and slightly frowned.
He did not expect Dudley to still be in Waterhoof City, let alone to come look for him at the hotel.
Not that it mattered.
“Cruel? Even if I was cruel, I’m still miles away from people like you. Besides, didn’t your dad say it himself? It’s a privilege to lose in business. If you think of it that way, I come bearing gifts for you and your father. You’re welcome.”
Jasper’s words caused Dudley, who was already furious, to nearly lose his mind.
“Don’t act so proud, Jasper. People like you will be crushed one day! I’d like to see how pitiful you’d look then!” Dudley cursed him resentfully.
“Where’d this stupid f*cker come from?”
Henry was in a great mood before Dudley popped up and harassed him. Pissed, Henry swept his gaze over the man coldly and said, “Keep yapping and I will punch your teeth out. ”
Dudley’s eyes reddened with anger while the man panted so hard he seemed like he was going crazy.
He stared at Jasper and Henry, then roared, “Come on, then! If you think you’re so powerful, hit me!”
“Oh, much braver this time, hmm?” Henry chuckled joyfully. He loved stubborn idiots like this the most because they were the most enjoyable to beat up.
He rolled up his sleeves to make a move, but Jasper quickly frowned at him.
Jasper looked at Dudley and asked calmly, “Where’s Lisa? Call her out.”
Dudley was stunned, and he replied instinctively, “What the f*ck are you talking about?”
“You wouldn’t know about me staying here without her help,” Jasper explained calmly.
“Lisa been using you to get rid of me the entire time. Don’t you understand?”
Dudley had heard this line before.
His father Alban had told him the same thing before he left the day before.
He had ignored it then, but Dudley could not help but look back on the entire process again now.
He soon realized that Jasper was right, and that Lisa was just using him.
Lisa had been urging him to take revenge on Jasper the entire way over.
Once he realized this, Dudley clenched his jaw and growled, “That b*tch… but you aren’t any better, Jasper!”
Jasper smiled calmly. “I didn’t tell you this to let bygones be bygones and move on, since there’s no point in doing so. I’m still waiting to destroy Seatreasures Group this afternoon, so why would I care about what you think of me?”
“Let’s be honest, you can’t do anything but shout at me uselessly here. You can do nothing to me at all.”
Jasper’s words cut deeply into Dudley’s heart like a knife.
For the first time, Dudley regretted not building himself up more and waste away all his time on having fun.
At that moment, as he stood in front of Jasper, Dudley felt the full extent of his own powerlessness.
Jasper was powerful; the fate of Seatreasures Group was now in his hands.
Despite this, Dudley could do nothing.
All he had done in this situation was mock Jasper before it happened and shout powerlessly at him after. Nothing more.
As Dudley was in despair, Jasper’s voice sounded again. “Do you want to save Seatreasures Group? This is your family business, and contains the fruits of your dad’s entire life. It’s all up to you now.”
