Chapter 127 An ominous feeling came over Sawyer Long the moment Janet put the phone to her ears, but he remained still.
As far as he was concerned, Janet was merely bluffing, and would not be able to do anything to him.
The number Janet dialed rang only once before the phone call connected.
“Hello Miss Fox." A baritone voice laced with respect and politeness answered from the other end ofthe phone.
“Hello Zane.” Janet replied with a playful tone.
When Zane heard Janet's playful tone, he knew at once that something was wrong.
From his experience of dealing with Janet, he discerned that some unlucky fellow had offended her, and she wanted to make him/her pay theprice.
Nevertheless, he maintained his silence as he usually did and pretended that nothing was wrong.
“Is anything the issue Miss Fox?” Zane asked politely.
“Do you happen to know if we're partnering with any company or business from the Longfamily?” Janet asked playfully; but there was a hint of anger and disgust in her eyes as she spoke.
“I vaguely remember that we do have some partnerships with them.
Why do you ask?” Zane replied.
“I see.
Terminate all business and partnerships we have with the Long family; and spread the word that anyone that partners with them is risking attracting our wrath on them.
I'm sure that they'll know the right decision to make.” Janet said firmly.
"I'll get to it immediately Miss Fox." Zane said before disconnecting the phone call.
When Sawyer heard Janet's words, he looked at her like he was looking at a mentally retarded person.
At first, he was afraid that the gorgeous lady was from a very terrifying background with how confident she seemed earlier, but after the phone call, heseemed that he was worried for nothing.
Who were the Long Family? The Long Family had businesses and companies in a variety of industry, and were quite formidable.
A young lady that wasn't above the age of twenty saying that she wanted to shutout the Long Family was no different from an ant claiming to kill an elephant.
It was completely ridiculous.
1 There was also the fact that the phone call she made was not on loudspeaker,so he could not confirm if she was really on a phone call.
Hence, he believed that her statement was nothing more than a bluff.
As expected, Jonathan could not keep shut when he heard Janet’s words and saw how arrogant she was acting intheir presence, even after his father had arrived.
She completely disregarded his father! Jonathan, who clearly could not handle Janet’s arrogance yelled out in anger.
“Who do you think you are?!” "Terminate partnerships and businesses with the Long Family? People like you are not even worthy to shine ourshoes! How dare you act so arrogant in our presence?” Jonathan yelled out in one breath.
From the veins and red tint on his face, one could tell how angry he was.
However, after his rant, Janet merely looked at him before replying rather calmly.
“You'll soon know if I'm bluffing or not." Jonathan was about to retort, but Sawyer’s phonerang at that moment, cutting him short.
The moment his phone rang, the ominous feeling he sensed earlier returned in full, and he looked at Janet warily.
Was it a coincidence that seconds after she ended the phone call his phone rang? Suppressingthe uneasy feeling he had that moment; he brought out his phone from his pocket and answered the phone call.
The phone call only lasted twenty seconds, but his face kept paling with each passing second, and by the time Sawyer Long ended the phone call, he looked at Janetlike he had seen a ghost.
“You.
Who are you? What did you do?!” Sawyer asked; his disbelief evident in his tone.
