“That’s enough, stop f*cking pretending.” Henry was irritated by what he was seeing.
Perhaps due to his lack of interest, Henry was slightly incapable when it came to doing business, but that certainly did not mean he was not clever enough or that he was a dunce others could wrap around their little finger.
Truth was, a prodigal son like Henry had cultivated the ability to act according to his elders’ mood since he was a kid.
If he did not know how to fawn over his elders whenever he got into trouble out there, he would easily get hung and beaten.
Therefore, the act that Thompson was putting on looked no different than a monkey show to him.
Thompson stopped hitting his son after hearing that. He wore a pained and regretful expression on his face as he said to Henry, “I don’t know what my insolent son has done to offend you, but now that this has happened, you only need to say one word and I’m ready to punish him if justice demands it. As long as it makes you happy, Mr. Henry.”
“As long as I’m happy, my *ss! Motherf*cker, I’m itching to throw both of you into the sea to feed the sharks right now!”
Henry cursed without hesitation.
“Do you think I’m a fool? Your son’s character is clearly a result of bad influence. Who would believe that this has nothing to do with you?
“I heard that you like to play dirty tricks and are terribly unbridled. In order to get my contract, you secretly messed with a lot of people. Do you really want me to tell everyone what happened to the two bidding companies during the invitation to tender?”
Thompson’s countenance abruptly changed. He started stuttering, not able to say a clear word.
Henry sneered, saying, “I don’t care about rubbish like that. If anyone gets the contract, then so be it. As long as everything goes smoothly, I don’t give a sh*t about other things!”
Jasper looked at Henry in a different light after hearing what he said.
Sure enough, these trust fund babies who had received elite education from an early age were no easy targets. Henry’s superior attitude of disregarding his employees’ struggles as long as they got things done was one that no ordinary family could cultivate.
