The following day, since Julian had taken Jasper’s Bentley in for periodic maintenance, Jasper sat in Wendy’s ordinary and low profiled BMW to work. They two were chatting happily and were a few hundred meters away from the office when a few men suddenly ran out from the roadside to stand in front of Wendy’s car.
Wendy gasped. Thanks to her quick reflexes, she managed to turn the steering wheel and avoid knocking into these people.
However, the BMW still ended up crashing into the foliage by the roadside.
There was a loud bang, and a dent appeared in the bonnet of the car as smoke simultaneously began to pour out from the hood. The car’s engine then turned itself off automatically.
Jasper shielded Wendy with one of his hands to protect her. Without caring about himself, he quickly asked Wendy, “Are you okay? Are you hurt?”
Wendy shook her head and replied shakily, “I’m fine. Just shocked.”
Jasper’s gaze sharpened. Those men who ran out must have a death wish.
He was about to get out of the car angrily when he heard those men shout.
“Wendy! Get the f*ck out right now!”
Jasper narrowed his eyes at what he heard.
From the way the men acted, this incident was not accidental. They were blatantly targeting Wendy.
“What do you want her for?”
Jasper alighted the car and asked directly.
Considering the current situation, as a man, Jasper had to come out and deal with these hooligans while keeping his woman safe behind him. Regardless of what conflict Wendy had with them or who was in the wrong, there was no way Jasper would let them hurt Wendy.
If he did not do this, then he might as well not be a man at all.
“What for?!”
The man in the lead was a rather skinny person in his forties. He scoffed and replied, “That stupid b*tch screwed my business over, so I want her to compensate me for my losses!”
“Keep your stinking mouth clean.”
