Chapter 628 Poor Demi
A few well-built young men outside of the Jenningses’ villa was the reason why the door ended up on the floor. Terrified by the display of strength, the servants at the residence quickly scattered away like mice.
No one dared to stand in the tattooed brutes’ way, for not only did they come in a group of seven, but they were also armed with baseball bats. Anyone who valued their lives knew better than to stand up against those brutes.
Leading the group was none other than Zachariah himself, who happened to work for David, one of Jacob’s creditors.
Zachariah purposely requested to be assigned to collect from the Jenningses because he still remembered how Alex humiliated him.
Ever since the man made him lick the urinal, he became the joke of Nebula City. Since he could not get his revenge on Alex, he decided to take his anger out on the Jenningses.
The man then stormed into the house and swung his baseball bat brazenly at an antique vase, smashing it into millions of pieces.
At that moment, Demi immediately picked herself up to stare distressfully at the mess that used to be her beloved vase.
“Who the heck are you? How dare you smash our family antique!” roared Demi at Zachariah.
When Jacob saw the brutes walk in, he instinctively started moving out of the living room. However, he did not get far when two of the brutes swiftly caught up and seized him.
“Where do you think you’re going? You seem to have forgotten that you still owe us money,” reminded Zachariah as he tilted Jacob’s chin with the tip of his baseball bat.
“Zachariah, it’s so nice to sec-”
Before Jacob could finish his sentence, Zachariah gave the man a hard slap on the face. “What? It’s nice to see me? Somehow, I find that hard to believe. You better have my money. Or else, I’ll break all four of your limbs and make you a cripple!”
Jacob was smacked so hard that two of his teeth got knocked out. The sheer force almost put the man’s lights out, and it was enough to break his parents’ hearts. They wanted to help him but were stopped by a
few brutes.
“We’ll get you your five million, but don’t you touch him!” commanded Demi as she glared fiercely at the man who hit her favorite grandson.
Even though it was true that the Jenningses could come up with that much money, they would have to sell Jennings Corporation to make it happen.
“Five million? No, no, no. You lot owe us ten million now. And if I don’t get the full amount by today, I promise you that this bastard will lose his limbs,” reminded Zachariah.
Jacob’s mother repeated after the man before
With their financial situation, the Jenningses would have to sell more than just the company to come up with ten million. They would have to sell off the villa as well.
Demi started to get anxious when she imagined how she would have to live the rest of her life out in the streets if that were to happen.
Seeing how nobody came up with a solution, Zachariah got impatient, so he moved his baseball bat away from Jacob’s chin and cocked it behind his shoulders.
Zachariah only did that because he wanted to add to the tension. However, Jacob got so terrified by the man that he immediately peed his pants.
“Please have mercy! Please! Don’t break my limbs!” The man kneeled before Zachariah and started begging.
Disgusted by Jacob’s act of desperation, Zachariah kicked the man away and sneered. “Get away from me. you filth! If you can’t get me my money, you better start planning your life as a cripple!”
The smell of urine on Jacob only angered Zachariah even more because it reminded him of the urinal that Alex forced him to lick.
