Chapter 1143 Drunken Talk

"Let's hang out when you're free. I'll invite Brendon too. You guys are people I trust, and I'll tell you the reason later," Miles said.

"Sure, I just saw Brendon a few days ago, but it's been a while since we all got together. Let me arrange it for you when you have time," Markus replied with a smile.

Exiting the elevator and walking into the lobby of Tready Threads Finance, Kevin walked forward with heavy thoughts on his mind. He was feeling frustrated and annoyed at this moment. Just as he was about to walk out of the door, he suddenly heard a teasing voice from his side.

"Go for wool and come home shorn. Kevin, how does that feel?"

Kevin paused in his steps and stiffly turned to his left side where Jacob was leaning against a column looking smug. He had clearly left twenty minutes earlier than Kevin but hadn't gone yet because he wanted to see him fail!

Realizing this fact made Kevin hold his breath and focus all of his attention on raising his eyebrows high while coldly retorting, "What do you mean by that? Mr. Hale and I are in business cooperation that will bring profits no matter what happens. Unlike you who brought people here without understanding anything about our situation! But thanks to you though because it is my first time seeing you acting so subservient."

"Kevin! You've grown some balls!" Upon hearing Kevin mock him like that, Leon couldn't help but explode in anger, charging towards him and wanting to teach him a lesson. But, before he could get close, seven or eight black-clad men rushed into the building, surrounding Kevin tightly protecting him; they were bodyguards waiting outside.

"Not bad huh? You're hiring people now?" Jacob wasn't planning on doing anything physical anyway so upon seeing how confident Kevin looked surrounded by guards, he began clapping sarcastically.

"Of course! There are too many wicked people in this world whom I've encountered before, so naturally one must always be vigilant." Retorted Kevin, not willing to lose face.

"People will always let their guard down at some point," Jacob narrowed his eyes staring intently at Kevin and saying softly, "You're afraid someone might harm you which means you must be careful all the time."

"Thanks for reminding me." Kevin sneered back at Jacob then disdainfully glanced over Leon like an arrogant peacock before leading everyone away.

Seeing how proud and confident Kevin looked, Leon couldn't swallow the insult, constantly complaining into Jacob's ear,

"Appeasement brings disaster. You shouldn't have trusted this ungrateful person from day one! Wasting your hard work cultivating him these past few years!"

Jacob didn't say anything but just gave Leon a cold glance. In fact, he knew in his heart that if it weren't for the appearance of Leon and his group, Kevin might not have had the idea of betrayal. Even if he did, he wouldn't have had the guts to do it.

"Mr. Wood! We definitely can't let him go!" Regardless of whether Jacob paid attention to him or not, Leon continued to vent his anger incessantly.

"Enough," Jacob waved his hand, "What's the use of cursing here? If cursing him could kill him, why bother?"

Leon closed his mouth.

"Sage," Jacob turned to Sage who had been following behind him, "keep monitoring Kevin and Nia. You did a great job this time."

"Thank you, Mr. Wood," Sage said respectfully.
