Finally, Jasper’s Adam’s apple moved.
After hearing Jasper’s reply, Jax seemed to have grabbed ahold of a lifesaver.
“Mr. Laine, have you agreed to forgive me?”
Jasper snorted coldly and asked sternly, “When you used the pretext of plagiarism to extort money from us under Homer’s name, did you ever think that this would happen? You used the word plagiarism and used public opinion to force us to pay. Plus, you even wanted me to apologize in front of the public. When you did these unconscionable things, did you ever think about the consequences?”
Jax was lying on the ground, unable to lift his head because of Jasper’s assertive voice.
“I… I was wrong. It’s all my fault, I apologize to you.”
As soon as he said that, Jax slammed his head against the ground again. He wanted to use this to beg for Jasper’s forgiveness. However, unbeknownst to him, Jasper was feeling indifferent.
Although it was useless to kowtow to him, Jasper also did not want to cause him any harm either.
He could not just let Jax die here like this, right?
“Stand up and look at me.”
Jasper‘s voice was still cold, and it was also overbearing.
Jax stood up abruptly and looked at Jasper. His eyes were bloodshot, but they looked extremely empty. Obviously, he was no longer sane.
Jasper could also see that Jax had lost his mind.
“Get lost. Go back and give your leaders a message that this is not over yet.”
It was definitely not that simple to get Jasper to forgive him.
Jax still wanted to beg for mercy, but upon seeing Jasper’s determined attitude, he swallowed his words when they reached his lips. He knew that he had provoked someone he should not have. Jax lifted his heavy steps and trudged out of the room with his lawyer and bodyguard in tow.
