Chris stayed silent at his threat as a chilling glint flashed across his eyes.
Even though he wasn’t conceited like Zachary, he was still superior to his peers. No one had dared to treat him so poorly.
Yet, at that moment, he was not only being restrained by Jesse but also being threatened.
The fact that the transfer of the Nacht Group couldn’t happen overnight was the only reason Jesse still brought him along. It would take some time for the entire process to complete, so he knew Jesse couldn’t dump him, the pawn, just yet.
Once Jesse had the Nacht Group firmly in his grasp, the first thing he would do was weed out his foes.
Of course, Chris would end up dead too if he didn’t listen to Jesse’s command and Charlotte’s retaliation succeeded.
“Don’t worry.” Noticing Chris’ concern, Jesse said, “The Nacht Group is a large slab of meat. A few bites and chews won’t devour the entire company. Even if it does, you still have some use. You’ll be my son-in-law as long as you obey me.”

“Should I thank you then?” Chris shot him a death glare.
“There’s no need for gratitude.” Jesse patted his shoulder. “All I need you to do is obey my commands and cooperate with me.”
Chris had no choice but to swallow the humiliation he felt.
Right then, the office door opened, and in walked Nancy with a stack of materials in her arms. “Daddy, all the materials are here.”
“Okay.” Jesse stood up and smoothened the invincible creases on his suit after a glance at his watch. “It’s almost time. Let’s head over.”
“Is everyone there?” Chris asked the bodyguard.
“Only Spencer and Charlotte aren’t here yet,” replied the bodyguard.
“Then—”
