Jasper met Gerry’s gaze and said with a smile, “It’s been a few days since we last met Mr. Heron. Looks like you became even more successful.”
Gerry stuttered and did not know how to reply, while Roy had fired back beside him.
From what he saw, Jasper was obviously trying to win Gerry over.
So he scoffed and pointed at Jasper’s nose to say, “Shut your stinky trap!”
“Who do you think Mr. Heron is? Who knows what situation you’ve seen Mr. Heron in from afar, but you’re just a piece of low-level trash! Aren’t you afraid that Mr. Heron would rip you to shreds for what you just said?”
“Hah! You don’t know how powerful Mr. Heron is in Waterhoof City, do you, young man?”
Slap!
Roy had just finished speaking when he was slapped across his face.
Naturally, Gerry was the one who did it
It was an angry slap too, one forceful and strong. All that could be heard was the clear sound of a slap, followed by Roy cupping his face and shouting tragically. Then the man fell backward onto the floor and a few of his teeth have flown out in the process.
Roy was utterly confused.
He had no idea why he had gotten slapped. Cupping his face, Roy looked at Gerry in disbelief. Yet all he saw was a furious expression with the desire to devour him.
Gerry was already terrified of Jasper and he was just thinking about how he should calm the situation and calm the atmosphere when Roy stepped up and spewed a bunch of offensive words. Gerry then wanted nothing more than to beat Roy to death now.
“You shut your f*cking stinky trap!”
Gerry pointed at Roy, his eyes bloodshot as if wanted to eat him alive.
Gerry took a deep breath to suppress the unease and franticness within him. Then turned to give Jasper an exceptionally wry smile.
“Mr. Laine. This, it’s a misunderstanding. All a misunderstanding.”
Jasper looked at Gerry and asked meaningfully, “You’re the owner here, Mr. Heron?”
Gerry quickly explained. “There’s no such thing as owner or not. A few friends and I got together to open a restaurant, I just have a few shares here.”
“What a huge business you’re doing, Mr. Heron. It seems like your properties are everywhere. But you have to make sure that management can keep up with the size of your business, or you’ll only be implicated in the end. Don’t you think so?”
Gerry felt cold sweat bead when he heard Jasper. He quickly replied, “Yes, yes, of course. You’re right, Mr. Laine.”
Gerry then turned to kick Roy. “What the f*ck are you waiting for? Apologize to Mr. Laine now!”
At this moment, Roy was completely dumbfounded. He did not expect Jasper to be someone even Gerry could not afford to offend.
From the way Gerry acted, he more than just feared Jasper. Gerry seemed moments away from getting down on the floor and cleaning Jasper’s shoes with his tongue. While Roy still had no idea who Jasper was specifically up until now, he was sure of one thing… He was in great trouble.
Gerry’s kick snapped him back to reality. Ignoring everything else, he crawled his way to Jasper and wailed, “Mr… Mr. Laine, I’m sorry. I, I was blind, I’m sorry for offending you! Please give me another chance…”
“Chance?” Jasper smiled subtly at Roy.
Frankly speaking, someone like Roy was not worth Jasper’s anger. However, since the incident involved Tiffany, Jasper had no intention to let him go easily.
“Yes, yes, please. You’re a kind man, Mr. Laine. Please give me another chance, I’ll change and be better…”
Before Roy could finish begging, he heard Jasper say, “Chances are things your parents give you. I only care about the results.”
