“What about me?”
Jeremy scoffed and said leisurely to Sally, “You’d better be careful, you old hag. Don’t make me angry. It’s almost Christmas now. I would consider myself unlucky even if you don’t think it’ll dampen your spirits.”
“Or do you want to squander my money? That’s fine too. If you get your son to f*ck off, I can give him tens of thousands if I’m in a good mood. That would be much better than him working his socks off and earning so little, right?”
Wendy gritted her teeth in anger as she looked at the gleeful expression on Jeremy’s face.
“Julian!” Wendy called out.
Julian, who had long since been unable to stand him, immediately appeared. He stared unblinkingly at Jeremy.
Jeremy, who had been wild with glee, sensed the unmasked hostility from Julian when he appeared. Jeremy frowned.
“Where did this idiot come from? F*ck off, can’t you see I’m talking?”
Jeremy had just finished speaking when Julian picked him up by the collar. He was raised several feet off the ground.
His shocking strength caused everyone who was watching to cry out in surprise.
“I’ll make you shut up forever if you say another word. Do you believe me?”
That one sentence was enough to shut Jeremy up.
Julian had already proven that he had the strength to do what he said he would do. The look in his eyes proved to Jeremy that this man, who had appeared out of nowhere, had the guts to do so as well.
“Julian, I don’t want to see him anymore,” Wendy frowned as she spoke.
Wendy might have an intense hatred toward Jeremy, but she did not get Julian to do anything extreme. After all, they were in a supermarket, and there were lots of eyes on them. Things would become difficult if any accidents happened.
Julian seemed to understand that too. Huffing, he tossed Jeremy aside. He landed sprawled on the ground.
“It’s best you f*ck off now, or I won’t let you be sprawled out so comfortably the next time,” Julian said coldly.
Jeremy scrambled to his feet and adjusted his collar. The fall had him grimacing in pain.
“Alright, just wait and see!” Jeremy glared evilly at Wendy and Julian before he turned and left.
“Sally, are you alright?” Wendy grasped Sally’s hand as she asked.
Sally waved a hand and sighed. “One can really meet all sorts of people these days. I’m fine, don’t worry. I was just so angry I couldn’t catch my breath just now. I feel much better now that I’m not so angry anymore.”
“Don’t worry Sally, people like him won’t remain gleeful for long,” Wendy said.
“Ms. Schuler, Mrs. Laine, I’ve already contacted Jasper. He should be here soon,” Julian said as he walked over.
Wendy said in surprise, “When did that happen? What did you call him for? It was nothing.”
Julian scratched his head and said, “I messaged Jasper when I saw him speaking rudely to Mrs. Laine… Did I do something wrong?”
Wendy shook her head. “You didn’t do anything wrong. You were just carrying out your responsibilities, and you were worried about us. I just think that we might be making a big deal out of nothing.”
Julian chuckled naively but did not say anything else.
Either way, he would still let Jasper know immediately if anything similar happened in the future.
As Jeremy grumbled and walked out of the supermarket, he thought about the incident and could not stand what had just happened to him. Fishing his phone out of his pocket, he began calling the people he knew.
Taking Julian’s terrifying ability into consideration, Jeremy made a couple of extra phone calls. When he finished his calls, Wendy and Sally were walking out of the supermarket. Julian was behind them, a large bag in his hands.
When Jeremy remembered that his men were almost there, he became gleeful again. Walking over to Wendy, he gritted his teeth and said, “Stop!”
Wendy frowned at Jeremy and said impatiently, “Why won’t you leave us alone?”
Jeremy gave a twisted smile and said, “Did you think you could beat me up and be done with me? How would I, Jeremy Morris, continue doing business if that was the case?”
Julian was just about to speak when a car’s headlights shone in their direction.
The bright light caused everyone to squint and look toward where the light was coming from.
Jeremy watched a car drive toward him and stop right in front of him.
