“Is there anyone in Southeast Province who doesn’t know Jasper Laine from JW Investments?”
The general manager of PICS replied matter-of-factly. Then, he jolted back to his senses and asked, “It’s not your car that’s in trouble is it?”
Joseph’s grip on the business card tightened when he saw the horrified expression on the general manager’s face. He replied, “It’s my brother’s car.”
The general manager’s lips twitched as he turned instinctively to look at Jasper. When he saw Jasper looking back at him with an indecipherable expression on his face, he hurriedly straightened himself and instinctively took several steps backward. He increased the distance between himself and the Wagner brothers.
“You must be crazy! How dare you hit a car belonging to Mr. Laine’s friend?!” the general manager reprimanded.
Leonard said indignantly, “This b*tch rear-ended me!”
Just then, Joseph, who had started realizing that things were going wrong, glared at Leonard as he yelled in a low voice, “Can’t you be more f*cking civil?!”
Leonard had an aggrieved expression on his face. He wanted to say more, but he did not dare speak a word.
The general manager of PICS had a feeling that things were not as simple as they seemed when he looked at Leonard who had blood all over his face. He had no interest in getting involved and said hurriedly, “I’m going to take a look at what’s going on.”
Then, he turned and walked to the two cars.
He rarely needed to survey the scene of an accident as a general manager. These were all done by his staff. However, the general manager felt that these two cars were much easier to deal with than the brewing warzone that was happening behind him.
The more Joseph thought about it, the more insecure he felt. He glanced at Jasper before walking toward the general manager, whispering to him, “Tell me the truth. What’s his background?”
“What’s his background?”
The general manager laughed coldly before saying, “His name is his background. I’m advising you not to get caught up in such messy matters anymore.
“He’s two years younger than you, but all you do is loiter around with the rich kids of Southeast Province while flaunting your family’s riches. Him, on the other hand, tsk tsk…
“He’s not someone you can cross. Seeing how your parents are on good terms with me, I advise you to immediately apologize to him and show him you mean it. He’s not a man who won’t listen to reason. If you don’t do this, no one can save you!”
…
Joseph had an odd look in his eyes as he gazed at Jasper after returning from his conversation with the general manager.
He had a dark expression on his face as he mulled things over for a long time. In the end, he decided not to say anything.
“Let’s go!”
Joseph said to Leonard.
Leonard had a stunned look on his face as he said, “We’re leaving?! Brother, are my ears failing me?!
“This b*tch crashed into my car and I got beaten up by them, but we’re not going to do anything about it?!
“F*cking hell!”
Joseph, who was already annoyed, became enraged when he listened to Leonard continuing to call Celine a b*tch. He raised his hand and slapped Leonard across the face as he bellowed, “You useless piece of trash, we’re leaving when I say we’re leaving! What are you blabbering about?!”
Leonard’s pitiful face received another blow. With his new wound adding to his old ones, his face puffed up like a blowfish.
“You’re going? Don’t you think it’s a little rude of you to leave after what just happened?” Jasper asked calmly.
Joseph hurriedly turned and stared at Jasper. He could tell he was in deep trouble now.
When Joseph recalled his previous attitude as well as what he had said, he felt his face burn bright red.
However, he would still not beg for mercy from Jasper.
“Don’t take matters too far. This issue ends here, and no one makes a loss. I won’t let you take advantage of me if you insist on making a fuss.”
Jasper began laughing after he heard what Joseph said.
“I’m the one making a fuss now? Who was the one who wanted to force me on my knees earlier?
“I thought I had time-traveled back to imperial times with the way you went on and on about making me go on my knees. What’s going on? Do you think you can just leave after making so many demands?”
Joseph’s lips twitched slightly as the expression on his face darkened. He took a deep breath, realizing that things would not be as easily settled as he had expected.
Thus, the only thing he could do was walk over to his Ferrari, open the door, and say, “I’m so sorry for delaying your schedule, Mr. Monty. We might need a little more time to solve the issue at hand here, why don’t you…”
Conrad did not even look at Joseph. While he was sitting in the car, he had caught sight of Jasper.
After all, it was hard to miss a human being standing by the road.
To be honest, Conrad had the urge to turn and leave the minute he saw Jasper.
He did not want anything to do with Jasper during such a critical time.
The next time they met would be when they decided who was the winner, but this was not the time!
However, when he remembered the relationship his family shared with the Wagner brothers and what he wanted to do, Conrad had no choice but to grit his teeth and get out of the car.
Conrad ignored Joseph’s prattling and walked up to Jasper.
“What a small world Southeast Province is.” Jasper took the initiative to speak first and smiled as he gazed at Conrad.
That opening sentence stunned both Joseph and Leonard.
They had initially thought Jasper would be terrified and might even go down on his knees and beg for mercy when he saw Conrad.
Yet, why did they sound like a pair of old friends reuniting?
A strong feeling of unease arose in the two brother’s hearts.
What caused their fear to increase was what Conrad replied.
“Small world, indeed. If I had known you were the person they offended, I wouldn’t have bothered coming over at all. I would have let you beat them to death.”
