“What about me?”
Jeremy scoffed and said leisurely to Sally, “You’d better be careful, you old hag. Don’t make me angry. It’s almost Christmas now. I would consider myself unlucky even if you don’t think it’ll dampen your spirits.”
“Or do you want to squander my money? That’s fine too. If you get your son to f*ck off, I can give him tens of thousands if I’m in a good mood. That would be much better than him working his socks off and earning so little, right?”
Wendy gritted her teeth in anger as she looked at the gleeful expression on Jeremy’s face.
“Julian!” Wendy called out.
Julian, who had long since been unable to stand him, immediately appeared. He stared unblinkingly at Jeremy.
Jeremy, who had been wild with glee, sensed the unmasked hostility from Julian when he appeared. Jeremy frowned.
“Where did this idiot come from? F*ck off, can’t you see I’m talking?”
Jeremy had just finished speaking when Julian picked him up by the collar. He was raised several feet off the ground.
His shocking strength caused everyone who was watching to cry out in surprise.
“I’ll make you shut up forever if you say another word. Do you believe me?”
That one sentence was enough to shut Jeremy up.
Julian had already proven that he had the strength to do what he said he would do. The look in his eyes proved to Jeremy that this man, who had appeared out of nowhere, had the guts to do so as well.
“Julian, I don’t want to see him anymore,” Wendy frowned as she spoke.
Wendy might have an intense hatred toward Jeremy, but she did not get Julian to do anything extreme. After all, they were in a supermarket, and there were lots of eyes on them. Things would become difficult if any accidents happened.
Julian seemed to understand that too. Huffing, he tossed Jeremy aside. He landed sprawled on the ground.
“It’s best you f*ck off now, or I won’t let you be sprawled out so comfortably the next time,” Julian said coldly.
Jeremy scrambled to his feet and adjusted his collar. The fall had him grimacing in pain.
