Dear sweetheart novel (Rayna and Julian) novel Chapter 333

Chapter 333 Not Blackmailing But Simply Negotiating
Wyatt’s expression darkened frightfully. Smashing the phone onto the ground, he crushed it with his leg.
Across from him, Zephyr remained calm and unruffled. He licked his lips before noting, “It doesn’t matter even if you destroyed the phone, Mr. Lopez. I’ve got several videos of the same variety, and I’ve hidden all the original copies away.”
“What do you want?”
“Fifty million. That aside, I want to terminate my contract with my current company, and you’ll be paying the liquidated damages for me. Arrange for me to join Excellent Entertainment Company, and I’ll hand you the original copies of those videos,” Zephyr stated.
Hearing that, Wyatt guffawed aloud. “Are you f*cking blackmailing me?”
Zephyr wasn’t the least bit afraid. Instead, he even chuckled. “I’m not blackmailing but simply negotiating with you, Mr. Lopez. I’m sure you know the identity of the woman in the video. And I know she’s dating you right now.”
He then smacked his lips as though in reminiscence before continuing, “I really didn’t expect that I’d be so lucky to sample your woman, Mr. Lopez. If the videos were to be played on various websites, the number of views and downloads would definitely be staggering.”
Abruptly shooting to his feet, Wyatt leaned across the table and seized Zephyr’s neck with a hand.
A murderous aura emanated off him, and his face was as dark as thunder.
The pressure on Zephyr’s neck was so great that his face turned purplish, and he had difficulty breathing. “It’s fine if you kill me, Mr. Lopez. Once I die, those videos will be automatically uploaded. So what if you were to delete them? They’ll resurface after a while.”
Sanity returned to Wyatt, and he threw the man away hard. Falling back onto the chair, he took out his phone while looking all grim. “Bring me a check and a contract.”
As Zephyr coughed, he touched his sore neck, terror lingering within him.
Oh my goodness, he almost strangled me to death just now!
When he heard Wyatt ordering someone to bring a check over, he knew he had won the gamble. But at the same time, he felt puzzled inwardly.
I know all the stories about him, so why does he value a woman so much now? Anyway…
He cast a look at the ruined phone under the table.
I never specified the identity of the woman in the video. He was the one who presumed she was Jessica, so it wasn’t my fault.
After hanging up the phone, Wyatt demanded coldly, “Have someone send the original copies of the videos over.
“He’s on the way. Be patient,” Zephyr replied.
Shortly after, Wyatt’s man had sent the check and contract over.
Filling in the amount for the check and penning his signature on the contract prepared, Wyatt flung it at Zephyr. Zephyr signed the contract as well before putting it into his bag. At the same time, he took out a flash drive and held it out.
“Since you’re a man of your word, Mr. Lopez, I’m also handing you all the original copies. Don’t worry, for I don’t have any other videos. I still want to make a living in Norwal City, after all.”
Without bothering to check its content, Wyatt crushed the chip at the flash drive’s connector and stuffed it into his pocket.
Getting to his feet, he stalked away.
Unexpectedly, Zephyr called out, “There’s one more thing I’d like to say, Mr. Lopez. Jessica is using you. She’s cruel beyond words, so don’t fall for her.”
Ignoring him entirely, Wyatt left the restaurant.
After getting into the car, he turned and instructed his assistant, “Get the check back. Then, tell those at the borders to send him abroad and leave him to fend for himself. Also, make the necessary arrangements where his parents are concerned.”
“Understood.”
While driving to the office, Wyatt gave Jessica a call.
Finally, Jessica answered her phone. “Yes? I went out to buy something in the morning. The housekeeper said you left without even eating breakfast. Do you have too much work at the office? And shall I bring breakfast over for you?”
Wyatt initially wanted to ask her about her relationship with Zephyr.
She isn’t acquainted with Zephyr, no? Why does he have such a video of them? Or had she dated him in the past? But I’m sure she was still an untouched virgin when we had intercourse for the first time. Or did she secretly hook up with him later?
However, her words of concern right then had him nixing that idea. Yet, he didn’t know what to say anymore.
Seeing that he had been keeping mum for a long while, Jessica queried, “Why aren’t you saying anything?”
“My phone slipped under the seat earlier. I didn’t see you when I woke up this morning, so I called to ask where you’d gone.” Wyatt’s tone turned airily, and he chuckled.
“You gave me a fright. I thought something had happened to you. You haven’t arrived at the office? Don’t talk on the phone while driving. It’s too dangerous. I’ll bring you breakfast later. See you!”
Jessica hung up right after saying that.
Wyatt glanced at his phone. The smile on his face gradually faded, and his gaze turned unfathomable.
Ten minutes later, he drove into the underground garage. When he reached the top floor and stepped out of the elevator, he bumped into his secretary.
The secretary bowed slightly. “Good morning, Mr. Lopez. Mr. Tylinski from Faymon Group came over half an hour ago, and I arranged for him to wait for you in the CEO’s office.”
Hmm? Why is he here to look for me?
Murmuring in acknowledgment, Wyatt loosened his tie and entered the CEO’s office.
Upon catching sight of Gabriel, he asked, “Mr. Tylinski, what happened between Curtis and Rayna? Don’t tell me they’re about to break up?”
“Not about, but already.” Gabriel heaved a sigh.
For a moment, Wyatt was blindsided. “Huh? Things were just fine between them, no? Why did they break up? No, why did you come and look for me, then? I’m not capable of having them reconcile.”
All of a sudden, Gabriel’s expression turned solemn.
Wyatt’s heart lurched. “Whoa! Don’t tell me I hit the nail on the head?”
Gabriel locked the door before making his way back and handing a document to the man. “This is from Mr. Xavier. He said you’ve got the right to know about some things.”
In truth, he didn’t want to make the trip.
Life is already difficult for me as I’ve got to keep an eye on Curtis, who flies into a rage easily at all times. On top of that, Theodore called and questioned me about why Jessica hadn’t left. I’ve told him it was Mr. Faymon’s orders to only arrange for her to go abroad later, but he sent that document over early in the morning and requested that I visit Lopez Group to hand it to Wyatt, his attitude insistent. F*ck! I’m truly lowlier than dirt before these few big shots I can’t afford to offend.
“What is this?” Lifting his head, Wyatt eyed the man even as he took the document from him.
“You’ll know when you open it and have a look, Mr. Lopez,” Gabriel uttered.
When Wyatt opened the document, Gabriel stood slightly farther away so that he could streak over to the door and make a hasty escape in the event that the man went ballistic.
I’m no punching bag!
The instant Wyatt’s nonchalant gaze scanned over the contents of the document, his pupils abruptly constricted. As he read further, his expression grew increasingly darker, and his lips pressed into a thin line.
After reading it, he clenched the papers hard and remained motionless for a long time.
A strong sense of unease swamped Gabriel. In the next heartbeat, he saw the man shooting a leg out and kicking the coffee table. A carpet blanketed the floor, so the glass coffee table was sent flying but didn’t shatter.
As though finding that insufficient, Wyatt sprang to his feet and picked up the chair, swinging it at the desktop before moving on to the rosewood cabinet. Ornaments rained down to the ground in a torrent.
Rampage-like crashes rang out from the CEO’s office unceasingly.
Hanging his head low in silence, Gabriel inwardly exclaimed, Fortunately, Mr. Lopez chose to smash things in his fit of rage and not pummel me! How lucky!
An eternity later, when he noticed that Wyatt’s fury had seemingly lost its intensity, he murmured, “Mr. Xavier said that you can do anything you want, but you must spare Jessica’s life.”
It was precisely because of Curtis’ and Theodore’s morals and bottom lines that he was willing to work for them.
Jessica is really pitiable. Her sister committed suicide after having been defiled, and her parents were backed into a corner in their bid to seek justice for their eldest daughter, thereby taking their lives as well. That aside, the few perpetrators still wanted to end her life. She abided by the law, yet she ended up with her family all dead. Anyone would be seething!
