Facing Erik’s aggressiveness, Jasper stepped back slightly while furrowing his brows. He looked a little disgusted. He even pulled Anna with him.
It was like he had bumped into a stinky beggar on the streets, afraid that he would get choked by the pungent smell.
Jasper’s actions triggered Erik.
“What do you mean by that? What do you think I am? A beggar or a bug?” Erik said sullenly.
Jasper said mildly, “Looks like we’re on the same page. Otherwise, why would you say words such as beggars and bugs?”
“Pfft.” Anna could not help but laugh.
Erik’s gaze grew darker and colder.
This was how it was with men’s conflicts. When a woman was involved, the conflict between both men would intensify manyfold.
Besides, Erik hated Jasper’s guts.
At this moment, Erik felt that Jasper had trampled on his dignity.
He was very upset. He clearly had the upper hand. He had even taken the initiative to come up to taunt Jasper, so Jasper should be the one to get mad instead.
“What are you so proud of?
“You must be hopping mad inside but you’re pretending to look calm, huh?”
Erik sneered and said, “When Easy Media is destroyed, I’d like to see how you’re going to keep pretending!”
Anna looked at Erik indifferently and said, “We don’t even know who will win yet, why are you so eager to show off?”
Erik glanced at Anna, and for some reason, Erik would put away his vicious and arrogant aura when facing her. He was afraid that he would seem too presumptuous.
However, this was something he had never felt before when he faced Henry.
It was clear that Erik was more apprehensive of Anna than Henry.
“Anna, this is between Jasper and me. It has nothing to do with you,” Erik said in a deep voice.
Anna said coldly, “Jasper is the Laws’ ally. If you lay a finger on him, you’re laying a finger on the Laws. Who are you to say that this has nothing to do with me?”
Erik’s complexion changed slightly when he heard what she said. He pointed at Jasper and said, “He’s just a boy toy, no? You must be out of your mind, Anna. You can get all sorts of men with your family background and appearance, why choose this idiot?”
Anna’s expression sank as she said coldly, “Watch your mouth, Erik Turner! You’d better clean that mouth of yours!”
Erik’s face was as black as ink as he gritted his teeth, feeling wronged as resentment bubbled within him.
He could not believe that he was swallowing his anger like that, so afraid to even irritate Anna at this moment.
At the sight of this, Jasper could not help but look at Anna in a new light. After all, she had always been meek and obedient in front of him.
What earth-shattering things had this woman done before he met her?
She had her big brother completely wrapped around her little finger.
Now, even Erik, a fearless trust fund baby, revered her?
At this point, Erik’s phone rang.
Erik quickly connected the call to get himself out of the embarrassing situation.
The person on the other end said something and Erik’s expression started sinking at a rate that was visible to the naked eye.
After a while, Erik hung up and looked at Jasper coldly. “You’re acquiring Motley Media’s stocks?”
