Jasper looked at Hector, his gaze calm like a lake of dead water.
“What if I don’t want to crawl?” Jasper asked instead.
Jacob scoffed. “Do I look like I’m giving you an option to choose from? Stupid!”
“Either beg for mercy today, or I’ll call someone to close yours and Jim’s company down. Jim will have his license revoked! Trust me, I can easily do all of this and more!”
Jacob spoke with an arrogant laugh, “Your relationship with Jim is great, right? His wife and child are both in Swallow Capital, and I think his son’s doing his second year in a reputable high school. I’m afraid his wife and son will only suffer if I send word out!”
Jacob leaned into Jasper as he spoke and scoffed. “By then, not only will your company suffer, but Jim’s entire family will also fall apart because of you!”
Jim’s expression shifted as he roared, “Come at me, you coward! You think threatening my kids makes you so great?”
Jacob straightened his back and spoke coldly, “Why the f*ck would I care whether I’m playing fair or not when we’ve already made it clear that I won’t go easy on you guys tonight, you dumb f*ck? What, your brain’s f*cked over too now?”
Jacob then pointed at Jasper and asked, “So, are you crawling or not?
“If you are, then f*cking get to it. Or you can choose to walk out of here on your knees and wait for me to take revenge!”
Jacob then turned to look at Henry and spoke, “You’ve never seen someone crawl between another’s legs, have you, Mr. Law? You’ll be able to see it soon, haha.”
Henry clamped his mouth shut and shrugged, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with him.
Jasper did not say anything, so Henry would continue acting.
Even so, he really wanted to grab the wine bottle on the coffee table and swing it at the back of the two idiotic Combe brothers’ heads.
“I did some investigating,” Jasper started to speak while looking unaffectedly at Jacob.
“You Combes have produced quite the results when it comes to promoting through word of mouth, that’s why both of you work in the media industry. You have quite the amount of media companies under your name and you earn quite a bit every year.”
Jacob narrowed his eyes at Jasper and scoffed. “What’s the point of saying all this now? What, are you afraid? You want to give the company back? Sure, but you owe my brother 20 million worth of compensation for moral damage. Then I’ll let you go.”
Hector’s eyes shone and he immediately agreed. “Exactly. 20 million is already taking pity on you. Give me back my company and I’ll let you go once my mood gets better. Or you can say goodbye to your only son.”
