Harvey’s face turned a bright shade of red as he curled his hands into fists and roared like a wounded animal.
“What should we do? How am I supposed to know that?!”
Harvey glared at Mark before he raised a hand to give Mark a resounding slap across the face.
“I asked you to come to apologize. Is this how you apologize?! Huh?!”
As Harvey bellowed, his vision went black and he nearly collapsed onto the ground.
In the end, he gritted his teeth and said, “The Zion family will preserve whatever power it can. As for the rest… we’ll talk about them in the future!”

Jasper had gotten himself another room to work in so that he would not interrupt Wendy’s sleep.
When Jasper returned with Julian, he found Wendy curled up lazily on the couch and watching television.
“Done?” Wendy asked.
“Yes.” Jasper nodded and asked gently, “Aren’t you going to bed yet?”
“I was waiting for you,” Wendy answered in a matter-of-fact tone.
Laughing softly, Jasper said, “It was a success. We should be able to move the project forward tomorrow.”
“How are you planning to get rid of the Zion family?” Wendy asked curiously.
Jasper thought for a moment. The Zion family owned several businesses, but only the shipyard was worth something. He did not have his eyes set on anything else either.
“I’ll have Mr. Lambert deal with it tomorrow,” Jasper answered.
Wendy nodded and looked at Julian who was standing wordlessly at the door. She called out to him, “You’re Julian, right?”
Julian, who rarely talked to strangers, let alone beautiful women like Wendy, was startled. He nodded.
His expression was one of surprise and bewilderment.
Wendy giggled, her liking toward the large, down-to-earth guy increasing.
“You can be Jasp’s bodyguard. Your monthly salary will start at 30,000 with a bonus at the end of the year. Your basic salary is 30% of your annual salary. We’ll sponsor two trips per year to any location you like, and you can bring your family along.
