“Is there anyone in Southeast Province who doesn’t know Jasper Laine from JW Investments?”
The general manager of PICS replied matter-of-factly. Then, he jolted back to his senses and asked, “It’s not your car that’s in trouble is it?”
Joseph’s grip on the business card tightened when he saw the horrified expression on the general manager’s face. He replied, “It’s my brother’s car.”
The general manager’s lips twitched as he turned instinctively to look at Jasper. When he saw Jasper looking back at him with an indecipherable expression on his face, he hurriedly straightened himself and instinctively took several steps backward. He increased the distance between himself and the Wagner brothers.
“You must be crazy! How dare you hit a car belonging to Mr. Laine’s friend?!” the general manager reprimanded.
Leonard said indignantly, “This b*tch rear-ended me!”
Just then, Joseph, who had started realizing that things were going wrong, glared at Leonard as he yelled in a low voice, “Can’t you be more f*cking civil?!”
Leonard had an aggrieved expression on his face. He wanted to say more, but he did not dare speak a word.
The general manager of PICS had a feeling that things were not as simple as they seemed when he looked at Leonard who had blood all over his face. He had no interest in getting involved and said hurriedly, “I’m going to take a look at what’s going on.”
Then, he turned and walked to the two cars.
He rarely needed to survey the scene of an accident as a general manager. These were all done by his staff. However, the general manager felt that these two cars were much easier to deal with than the brewing warzone that was happening behind him.
The more Joseph thought about it, the more insecure he felt. He glanced at Jasper before walking toward the general manager, whispering to him, “Tell me the truth. What’s his background?”
“What’s his background?”
The general manager laughed coldly before saying, “His name is his background. I’m advising you not to get caught up in such messy matters anymore.
“He’s two years younger than you, but all you do is loiter around with the rich kids of Southeast Province while flaunting your family’s riches. Him, on the other hand, tsk tsk…
“He’s not someone you can cross. Seeing how your parents are on good terms with me, I advise you to immediately apologize to him and show him you mean it. He’s not a man who won’t listen to reason. If you don’t do this, no one can save you!”
…
Joseph had an odd look in his eyes as he gazed at Jasper after returning from his conversation with the general manager.
He had a dark expression on his face as he mulled things over for a long time. In the end, he decided not to say anything.
“Let’s go!”
Joseph said to Leonard.
Leonard had a stunned look on his face as he said, “We’re leaving?! Brother, are my ears failing me?!
“This b*tch crashed into my car and I got beaten up by them, but we’re not going to do anything about it?!
“F*cking hell!”
Joseph, who was already annoyed, became enraged when he listened to Leonard continuing to call Celine a b*tch. He raised his hand and slapped Leonard across the face as he bellowed, “You useless piece of trash, we’re leaving when I say we’re leaving! What are you blabbering about?!”
