Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me Chapter 84

The other three dropped their jaws at the sight of the unconscious man.

They were well-acquainted with Harvey’s tactless ways; they knew that he would never think twice before doing or saying anything. However, they couldn’t help but freeze in shock after seeing Harvey knock the man out.

Jordan was the first who broke out of his trance. He clapped his hands dramatically and exclaimed, “Well, that’s just splendid! We spent ages going after this guy to use as bait, and now you’ve killed him!”

Darkness loomed over Vinson’s face.

He frowned at the severity of Harvey’s actions; they needed this man alive. Catching him wasn’t the primary goal because they still needed him as bait to lure out the mastermind behind the assassination attempt.

Vinson hurried over and placed a finger under the man’s nose.

He let out a relieved sigh after feeling faint breathing from the man. Then he whipped around to inform Carter, “He’s still alive. Get him to your family’s private hospital right away.”

“On it.” Carter instantly pulled out his phone, dialing for a private ambulance.

Once sorted, Vinson flashed a furious gaze at Harvey as if warning him to never pull another stunt like this again.

Harvey only wanted to teach the man a lesson. Now that he locked eyes with Vinson’s deadly gaze, he scratched the back of his head guilty. “I-I have the right to be upset too… This man nearly killed me, just like he almost killed you too…”

“Fine.” Vinson’s brows twisted into a frown as he continued, “Don’t let it happen again. And remember, he’s not the one who wants us dead—we’re after the person who’s giving this man orders.”

“Exactly,” Jordan chimed in with uncharacteristic seriousness. “This guy is merely a pawn. Our main objective is to seize the big guy, so quit acting on impulse, all right? I prefer you drinking your sorrows away.”

Harvey glared daggers at Jordan. Before he could retort, a bodyguard knocked and peeked in from the door. The bodyguard quickly reported, “A guest has requested your presence, Mr. Jupiter.”

Harvey cast a questioning look at Carter and asked, “Did you get caught while bringing the man back?”

“That’s impossible,” Carter denied with an amused scoff. “I’m not Jordan.”

At once, Jordan’s chest puffed up in offense. “Hey! Who do you think you’re throwing jabs at, Mr. Carter Morgan?”

Carter sneered through a chiding tone, “Simple. I’m insulting the person who just responded to my jab.”

Seeing the two men rile up, Vinson thundered, “That’s enough!”

Only then did the fiery anger between the two dissipate.

Then Vinson questioned the bodyguard, “Who’s the guest?”

The bodyguard was so terrified by Jordan and Carter’s dispute earlier that he promptly answered, “A lady named Yvette Actonward. She requests Mr. Jupiter and Mr. Nightshire’s presence.”

“Yvette?” Jordan’s eyelid twitched, signaling a bad omen. “What is she doing here? And why is she requesting to see them?”

The bodyguard shook his head. “I’m not too sure… But Ms. Actonward seemed like she had something urgent to inform the two gentlemen about.”

Coincidentally, the private ambulance arrived and swiftly brought the unconscious man away.

With nothing left to do, Vinson looked over at Harvey and stated, “Let’s go see what she’s fussing about.”

Harvey looked as confused as Jordan. He pondered, Isn’t Yvette supposed to be Jordan’s fiancée? What does she want from Vinson and me?

The four men decided to head up to the living room together.

There, Yvette and Sharon tapped their feet anxiously as they had waited for some time. When the men approached, Yvette immediately noticed Jordan, whose features had darkened in displeasure. A shiver crept down Yvette’s spine as she no longer felt as eager about ratting Arielle out as before.

Sh*t, Edmund! That goddamned butler! I can’t believe he didn’t tell me that Jordan was here too! How will I pretend to be super close with Jordan and win over Vinson, as well as Harvey’s support against Arielle?

Since they were in the Jupiters’ territory, Harvey initiated pleasantries, “It’s been a while, Ms. Actonward. Is there a reason for your visit?”

Yvette stole a glance at Jordan. However, he averted her gaze and appeared nonchalant altogether. Pain prickled across Yvette’s chest at his ignorance. Still, she feigned a bright smile and replied, “I have something to tell you and Mr. Nightshire… But I didn’t know that Mr. Baker would be here too.”

Jordan raised a brow. “Why? Am I not allowed to be here? Or is my presence causing you any inconvenience?”
