This slap was both without warning and extremely forceful.
Vita had spent his life climbing up the social ladder and he had never experienced such humiliation.
Caught off guard, this slap almost had him dazed.
Vita glared at the man with extreme levels of anger. Ignoring the burning pain on his cheek, the anger was more driven by the unjust and indignance he felt.
“What are you looking at me like that for? Be grateful that you’re still useful, otherwise beating you to death would be too light a punishment!”
The man looked at Vita and scoffed, “You think you’re some powerful person just because you’re some bullsh*t vice president of a bank? People like you aren’t even qualified to hold the crown prince’s shoes!”
“Think carefully and don’t be stupid. Make the correct decision, or even death might end up being a luxury for you.”
“The crown prince doesn’t have much patience. He’s already being exceptionally lenient with you. You better give us a reply tomorrow. Don’t forget.”
The man then patted Vita’s reddened cheek and laughed arrogantly before he opened the car door and left.
Vita clenched his jaw as he stared at the extremely insolent man’s back. The man got out of his car bossily and left in the car he first arrived in. From start to finish, all of Vita ’s anger and indignance could only be vented through his balled fists.
He punched the steering wheel and roared. Both his hands grabbed his hair and he moaned painfully with his head kept down.
“It’s all destined to happen…”
More than ten minutes later, Vita left the car park like a zombie and returned home upstairs.
Upon opening his house doors, he heard the sound of happy chatter and looked up in confusion. He quickly saw Jasper sitting on his sofa and looking at himself with a small smile.
Vita was stunned and was rooted in place the moment he saw Jasper.
