“What the f*ck are you yelling for?!”
While the sound of Norman’s palm slamming against the table and his shout were still echoing throughout the room, Henry raised his voice and overpowered him.
His voice was even louder than Norman’s.
Everyone in the room felt their ears ring. They were startled by Henry’s shout.
“You trying to scare me or what?” Henry glared at Norman, the latter’s face pale and panting. Henry grinned, showing his arrogant and devilish smile.
“Talk normally and stop f*cking shouting. You think just because you’re loud that you’re somehow more powerful? If that’s the case then instead of f*cking shouting why don’t all of you bring a f*cking microphone?”
Norman felt rage boil within him. In that instant, he truly wanted to let go of all inhibitions and tear Jasper and Henry to shreds.
Still, it was this was nothing more than an urge.
Norman did not have the courage to do such a thing. Even if he did, he lacked the ability to act on his desires. Norman glared at Jasper icily.
“You must’ve gone completely mad, Jasper! Who the f*ck are you to dissolve the branch, huh?”
Jasper’s expression was calm as he looked at Norman with what seemed like a hint of pity.
Norman was stunned by Jasper’s gaze and he immediately raged. “Why are you looking at me like that?!”
Jasper smiled and replied, “I just find your hysteria interesting, Mr. Gardner. But I do wonder, how long will you be able to hold your title of president?”
“This will be the last time you get to be hysterical, so I’ve decided that I’ll let you vent. You won’t have another chance to do so in the future.”
Jasper’s words cut into Norman’s heart like a knife.
Despite this, extreme anger had actually managed to calm Norman down slightly.
He stared at Jasper and suddenly began to laugh.
“I used to think that you were just arrogant, Jasper. But it looks like now that you’re also crazy!”
“You say you want to dissolve the branch? Then pray tell how you’re going to do such a thing. Who do you think you are? You think a word from you is all it takes to dissolve the branch?”
Just then, Gerry also interrupted with some degree of difficulty. The man held a towel over the wounds on his face as he chimed in, “Exactly! Who do you think you are? God? What makes you think we’ll dissolve the branch just because you asked us to?”
Jasper replied calmly, “Of course, the Haddock Chamber of Commerce‘s Waterhoof City Branch won’t just dissolve because I call for it. But what if the Teo Chamber of Commerce is on my side too?”
Everyone was stunned when they heard him.
They turned to look at Dudley instinctively, who had yet to say anything all this while.
Dudley was currently expressionless, but the twitch in the corner of his mouth revealed how unsettled he was. Dudley did not refute Jasper’s claim.
This was in stark contrast to their other encounters.
It was widely known that Dudley and Jasper were mortal enemies.
Norman felt his heart skip a beat. He instantly brightened up.
Norman finally understood the bad premonition he had been feeling today. The whole time he had felt like there was an impending danger just around the comer.
However, he did not understand why the Ball family and Jasper would team-up.
Lisa was the first to react.
“Jasper’s bullsh*tting, right, Mr. Ball? He said that your Teo Chamber of Commerce will help him dissolve Haddock’s Chamber’s Waterhoof City branch. Is that true? Say something, Mr. Ball!”
Sitting by Dudley’s side, Lisa reached out to pull at his sleeve and ask hastily.
Dudley glanced at Lisa.
His gaze was absolutely devoid of warmth. Rather, it was filled with a kind of venomous disgust.
Lisa was stunned.
This was not how Dudley looked at her before. His gaze used to be filled with greed and desire, like he wanted to strip her naked on the spot.
