“However, the most important thing now is to make sure whether you signed the contract last night, what contract you signed, and whether the bar has security cameras. The surveillance footage will be much more accurate than your memories. Let’s figure out what happened before we do anything.”
With the bar’s address, Jasper immediately picked up the phone and called Hector.
A local bully like Hector would be much more useful than any other person in this situation.
…
In a private club in Swallow Capital, Erik raised his eyes to Lisa and Ben who walked into the room while trembling all over.
These two people still had wounds on their faces. It was obvious that they had been beaten by the people Henry hired before.
“Did you get the stuff?” Erik asked.
Lisa nodded hurriedly. She took out a thick stack of documents from her bag and handed them to Erik.
After doing all this, Lisa took a step back and stood by Ben’s side. The two looked at each other and noticed the panic in each other’s eyes.
Erik took the documents and looked at the contents of the contract. As he flipped through the pages, the joy on his face became more obvious.
“I thought it would be just an attempt at best. I didn’t have much hope for this but I didn’t expect you two to actually succeed!” Erik said excitedly. Even the look he gave Lisa was much better now.
He stood up and touched the bruise on Lisa’s face. He said softly, “How are you? Does it still hurt?”
Lisa shook her head. She was feeling aggrieved and sad. Then, she choked and said, “Erik, this is too serious. We really don’t dare to get involved in this.”
The smile on Erik’s face grew brighter when he heard the words. He shook the contract in his hand and said, “You’re already involved in this even if you don’t want to. Yesterday, you took the drug I gave you, asked someone to get Henry drunk, and then made him sign this contract.
“So now, we’re on the same boat. You have no choice but to do this with me to the end.”
Lisa looked at Erik incredulously and said, “You told me yesterday morning that as long as we do this for you, we’ll be able to get out of this and you’ll get engaged to me too!”
Erik had a look of disgust in his eyes, but it was fleeting before a gentle smile appeared on his face. He said, “Of course, I’ll get engaged to you. After all, you’ve helped me so much. Why would I abandon you?
“However, you also know that we now have a common enemy. If we don’t get rid of Henry and Jasper, we won’t have a good life in the future. If you help me, it’ll also mean that you’re helping yourself.”
As he said that, Erik chuckled, his eyes full of coldness. He looked at the contract in his hand and said coldly, “Now, not only have we obtained the Laws’ proposal for the Olympic Village, but we also got this stock transfer agreement!
“This is our biggest trump card. As long as we’re willing, we can completely crush the Laws’ entire plan. At that time, even my father will personally thank you two, let alone me.”
Lisa murmured, “Erik, are you giving this contract to your family?”
Erik narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “What’s the hurry? Now that we have the initiative, I also hope to use this contract to play with Henry and especially Jasper. Who does he think he is? How dare he climb up the ladder by stepping on my head?!
“This time, I want the two of them to pay for their arrogance from before!
“After squeezing their value clean, I’ll give this contract to my family. When that happens, Swallow Capital will only have my name while Jasper will be destined to be a poor little worm!”
