Zachary pointed at the window of the ward and said, “Ask your son to jump out of there and I’ll let this matter drop.”
Bob and his son’s expressions changed with great shock.
Jump out of there?!
Zane glanced with horror at the window that was ten stories above and then at his father Bob. Despair and pleas filled his eyes.
Bob looked beyond awkward as he was unable to back out now.
He was not going to allow his son to jump out the window no matter what.
“Motherf*cker, are you trying to play tricks with me? You’re leaving the decision to me because you think that I wouldn’t argue with a junior and would just scold and beat him. All would be fine since he’s not going to die anyway, right? As long as he doesn’t die, this will all pass, right?”
Zachary sneered, “Well, I insist on not doing things your way today. C’mon then. Didn’t you say that I can punish him any way that I want? Well, I’m not going to kill or harm your son. I just want him to jump out of the window. Are you going to jump out or not?”
Bob’s expression changed constantly. Ultimately, he said between clenched teeth, “Tell me what you want. Just don’t cross the line. I admit that I was wrong.”
Zachary let out a satisfied smile and said mildly, “I want 30% of the artificial canals in Southeast Alexandria that you’re involved in developing.”
Bob’s expression changed abruptly as he responded subconsciously, “No way! That’s my core asset. I will never allow anyone to touch it, let alone 30%!”
“It’s fine if you don’t want to. I’m sure you can give me a share of the natural gas contract you signed earlier, then?”
Bob looked like he had seen a ghost when he heard Zachary’s words. “You’re spying on me?! Only a few people know about that. The public has no knowledge about that at all!”
“Bob, you’re so used to a smooth sailing life all these years that you have no idea about the dangers in the business world, huh?
“Why do you think you were able to sign that contract so easily? I was just waiting for someone to clear the obstacles for me before I went over to pick the peaches.”
Zachary’s expression turned cold as he spoke, “This is my final limit. I will not touch the canals since that’s so crucial to your survival, but if you refuse to give me the natural gas contract, then let’s go back and fight it out.”
Bob gritted his teeth hard and said with much difficulty, “Fine! But you’ll let this matter drop.”
“Get lost,” Zachary said coldly.
After a period of time, Bob led Zane out of the ward.
When Bob saw his son staggering, looking absolutely battered, he was so furious that he raised his hand to hit him.
Zane looked absolutely miserable at the moment as he shrieked subconsciously, raising his hands to shield his head. He was shuddering constantly.
Seeing how useless Zane was, Bob put down his hands angrily and roared, “You unfilial son! Do you know how much money we’ve lost because of your impulsiveness?! The natural gas contract could’ve given us at least a billion in profits!”
Zane was too frightened to speak. Until now, the news that Jasper exposed had yet reached Bob’s ears. He dared not imagine how furious Bob would be if he learned about the news.
“Please send me abroad, Dad. I’d like to go abroad to further my studies for two years,” Zane muttered under his breath.
Stunned, Bob stared at Zane and said, “You didn’t want to no matter how I persuaded you in the past but you’ve finally changed your mind now?”
Zane hastened to say, “Yes, I’ve thought it through. This was a huge lesson for me and I would like to go out and have some time alone to think about my future.”
“That’s more like it. You’ve finally grown up. Looks like this punishment was well worth it.”
Feeling rather relieved, Bob turned around and said, “Let’s go back to Harbor City immediately. I will arrange for you to go abroad as soon as possible.”
