Chapter 1219 Nicholas’ Men
He backed away slowly as he demanded answers. He was looking for a chance to escape. Frankly, when these two people appeared, he already had a good guess as to why they were here.
If he wasn’t mistaken, these two people were sent by Nicholas. Well, he was correct. Just as the reporter turned to flee, Edward showed up with another bodyguard.
He moved to block the reporter’s way with a friendly smile, but his tone was dangerous, “Hey, buddy, you came here uninvited, and now you’re leaving without even a goodbye? That’s not very polite now, is it?”
When the reporter saw Edward, he immediately recognized him as Nicholas’ right-hand man and panicked. His fear turned up a notch as he swallowed anxiously when he saw the tall and burly bodyguards surrounding him.
“Mr. Jackson, what’s the meaning of this?” “Nothing, really. I just wanted to have a chat.” Edward’s tone was courteous, but his expression was anything but.
Although the reporter saw this, he still tentatively asked, “And if I say no?”
“Then, you leave me no choice.”
Edward gave a cool glance toward the bodyguard next to him at the reporter’s words.
The bodyguard nodded and forcefully dragged the reporter away.
“What are you doing? Let me go!”
The reporter kicked and struggled hard to break free of the bodyguard’s grasp but to no avail.
Eventually, Edward took him away to one of Nicholas’ many properties.
The reporter fidgeted with apprehension as he sat on the couch in a large living room.
Finally, after Edward left him to stew for a long while, he glared at him and questioned sternly, “Tell me, who sent you to crash the dinner party?”
As soon as he asked this question, the reporter jerked in his seat, and his eyes darted around the room.
“What do you mean someone sent me? Wasn’t Nicholas the one who hired us?”
He tried to play dumb and also tried to threaten Edward with faux bravado, “What you’re doing now is illegal! Release me now, or I will call the police when I leave.”
“Well, you said, ‘when I leave.’ Have you ever considered that you may not be able to leave? What would you be able to do then?”
Edward wasn’t the least bit intimidated by the reporter’s threat. Instead, he threw one right back at the reporter’s face.
The reporter was terrified when he heard Edward’s words.
