Leyton approached Jared and said courteously, “Mr. Chance, I rushed over as soon as I could after knowing that you were looking for me.”
Except for Sandy, everyone's jaw dropped at Leyton's display.
Why is the Scott family heir talking to Jared like he's some kind of VIP? Aren't they love rivals?
Jared's gaze roved over his stunned audience before he scoffed. He pointed at Leroy and said, “I heard that the Scotts have some dealings with him.”
Leyton glanced at Leroy. His gaze fell on the latter’s swollen cheek, and he seemed to catch Jared's unspoken hint. He replied, “Mr. Chance, we have outsourced portions of two property development projects to him. However, we will be ending our partnership with him soon, and I will conduct stringent inspections on the quality of his work. Should we come across any unsatisfactory work, we will deduct his project commission and sue him for damages!”
Jared nodded lightly, secretly impressed by Leyton's quick wit.
Leroy was taken aback by his words. “Mr. Scott, w-what is the meaning of this? Our collaboration—"
“We will dissolve our collaboration and put your project commission on hold. You will be responsible for any damages incurred due to our partnership termination, understood?” Leyton cut in coldly and glared at Leroy.
He did not have any courtesy left to spare after waiting hand and foot on Jared.
“T-This,” Leroy stammered, unable to make head or tail of what had just happened.
Jared got to his feet and patted Leyton on the shoulder, declaring, “Your attitude today saved your life, but it's not enough to save the Scott family.”
I won't let him or the Scotts off the hook that easily. Sparing his life is the most I can do for him. There will be more horrors in store for them.
