Zachary said in a deep voice, “Okay, I know now.”
Jasper suddenly said, “Uncle Zachary, would you please tell the Turners that Erik must pay the price but I have no intention of becoming the Turners’ enemy?”
Zachary was silent for a moment and praised him, “Jasp, sometimes I can’t believe that you’re only in your 20s. Your sense of propriety and your ability to make a correct assessment of the situation is proof that you’re destined to reach a peak where others can only look up to.”
…
In the Turners’ courtyard.
Erik stood in the living room covering his red and swollen face. His head was hung low as he shuddered, too afraid to say a word.
Brad was sitting on the couch with a sullen expression while getting coaxed by a woman sitting beside him.
“There, there, Erik has learned from his mistake. Others will laugh at us when they see you hitting your son who’s already in his 30s.”
Brad snapped. “Look at what has become of your son because you spoiled him too much! If he’s bold enough to violate the law so flagrantly, he’ll turn the world upside down in the future.”
The woman motioned at Erik with her eyes and said, “Hurry up and apologize to your father, Erik.”
Brad snorted coldly. “Apologize to me? He has already messed up! Do you really think the Laws are that easy to deal with?”
“Someone from the Securities Regulatory Commission called me and said that the Laws refuse to let this matter drop. They insist on having Erik take responsibility. I’d like to see what you’re planning to do about that!”
Erik was taken aback when he heard what Brad said and yelled angrily, “Jasper is always turning to the Laws whenever something happens. How useless can he get?!”
“You never learn!” Brad was so mad that he raised his hand and slapped Erik on the face.
“If you weren’t so obsessed, would Jasper even have a handle on you? If he doesn’t have a handle on you, would the Laws complain about you with such righteous indignation?”
It was at this moment that an old man who looked like a butler walked in. He leaned over and spoke into Brad’s ear.
Brad asked in a deep voice, “Where’s the person who delivered the item?”
The butler shook his head and said, “He left after delivering the item.”
After speaking, the butler handed him a folder.
Brad said in a deep voice, “Play it. Let’s have a look.”
The butler responded and turned around to take out the CD from the folder. He brought a laptop over and started playing the contents of the CD.
At the sight of this, Erik had a premonition that something bad was going to happen.
“What is this?” Erik asked.
“It’s about you,” Brad glared coldly at Erik and said in a deep voice.
Erik quivered. He knew what he had done. He had committed countless crimes before. If someone had dug them all out, then it would be the end for him.
In no time at all, the computer started playing the videos on the CD.
The first footage was a surveillance video, and Erik could be seen sitting on a couch in a dimly lit room.
Soon after that, Erik started taking drugs. Then, a few people of unknown gender sashayed inside and Erik began fooling around with them.
Erik paled at the unsightly scene playing out on the computer, his eyes twitching furiously. Brad was so furious that he was shaking all over.
The butler hesitated for a while and said, “Master, the man said that he has not only given a copy to us, but he has also given a copy to the family as well. I think it has been delivered to Old Master Turner by now.”
Brad abruptly grabbed the laptop and slammed it on Erik’s head while roaring angrily, “Idiot! You idiot!”
