Baxter cursed in a rage, but he did not have any other choice.
He knew that the Wellington family would come after him if he left now.
The moment the company in Harbor City came to know of such news, he would be screwed.
Despite this, when he thought of Jasper, Baxter did not dare to stay either.
Caught between a rock and a hard place, Baxter truly understood what it meant to dig one’s own grave.
Mulling over the thought, he replied darkly, “I’ll go back to the company to speed up the process. With the company’s agreement, I’ll return to sign the contract immediately. We shouldn’t see each other until then, so I’ll be returning to the hotel now. Please wait for my message.”
With that, Baxter left in a hurry.
Mary harrumphed as she watched Baxter leave and cursed him quietly, “Damn pig. I’d like to see how much longer you can keep this arrogant act up!”
Just then, Mary’s phone rang.
Seeing that it was her mom, Mary accepted the call without further thought.
Before Mary could speak, a middle-aged woman’s scream rang out from the speakers.
“Has Greg gone mad, Mary? That has to be it! Find a chain and tie him up if that’s the case, don’t let him hurt my grandson!”
Mary was shocked by what she heard and quickly asked, “What happened, Mom? Calm down and tell me slowly. Useless trash like Greg would never dare to offend you! What happened?”
“Never dare to offend me? He almost hit me just now! I was walking by your house and I decided to check in on my grandson, but who’d have thought that Greg, this mad dog said he wanted a divorce and was going to bring the child away… Come home now, I’ll call your brother. Greg’s got no respect for anyone now!”
