After the initial panic, Hans was no longer afraid.
He had experienced similar things before.
Hans had plenty of experience getting caught on the spot when he tried to use dirty tricks to mess with other people’s wives or daughters.
So what?
He was a Hull.
He was Ian’s younger brother.
The Hulls were an integral component of the Haddock Chamber of Commerce.
He had experienced many things and settled all of them with money and authority.
As time passed, Hans understood how things worked.
It was no big deal for him to mess with women, not when he had attained equal status such as the Hulls…
The punishment he would receive was nothing more than compensation and compromises.
When the other party had received benefits, they would know better than to fight the Hulls to the end.
In Hans’ opinion, the incident today was no exception.
This was Jasper Laine, but so what?
If a businessman wanted to survive in this field, he would know better than to fight the Hulls to the end for the sake of a woman.
Hans knew that he held the winning card.
The Hulls could just compensate them for everything that happened today in the follow-up negotiations.
He did not realize that Jasper’s gaze was getting increasingly colder as he stared at him.
“Julian!”
Jasper let out a low growl.
“Yes!”
Julian’s nerves were taut, ever ready to take action.
