In the general managerâs office, Jay Brent was sitting on the sofa, talking to Cindy Harrison about his âmasterpiece.â
When Cindy Harrison learned that Greg Jensen had been scammed out of two million, she immediately laughed so hard her whole body shook, which nearly sent Jay Brent up in smoke.
He had helped Cindy Harrison deal with Greg Jensen, sneaking a little advantage for himself. Ethan Locke wouldnât know about it, right?
And seeing Cindy Harrisonâs flirty demeanor, she probably wouldnât care about such things.
As the two of them drew closer and closer, Jay Brentâs breathing grew more rapid, his heart tinged with growing anticipation.
He had seen beautiful women before, slim, voluptuous, flirtatious, seductive ones, but he had never seen someone like Cindy Harrison, who combined all these qualities into a perfect whole.
No wonder even Ethan Locke couldnât escape her grasp. Who could withstand such a top-notch woman?
Today, Iâm going to enjoy the treatment reserved for young master Locke!
Just then, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and a line of people walked in.
Jay Brent was furious. Without even seeing who it was, he cursed, âDamn it, didnât I say no oneâs allowed to disturb me?â
The next second, when he saw who it was, he was immediately dumbfounded.
âGreg Jensen, Wallace Carter? What are you two doing here together?â
Greg Jensen sneered and took a seat opposite them, taunting, âWhatâs the matter, donât like me interrupting your fun? Itâs fine, carry on, Iâve already seen everything I need to see.â
Cindy Harrisonâs face changed drastically, and she angrily said, âYou⦠youâre shameless!â
Jay Brentâs face also turned ugly as he coldly looked at Greg Jensen and said, âKid, you dare to be so brazen in my place, do you really not fear death?â
Greg Jensen was already seething with anger. Hearing Jayâs words, he directly retorted, âIâd love to die. Do you actually have the guts?â
Jay Brent saw the cold look in Greg Jensenâs eyes and immediately visualized the scene of himself being beaten without a chance to fight back.
His face grew even uglier, wanting to say some pleasantries, but he didnât dare to speak out, fearing that Greg Jensen might lash out.
Where the hell are those useless bums!
Jay Brent anxiously thought to himself, while Cindy Harrison beside him was completely stunned.
Though Greg Jensen had become smarter now and even had some money, in Cindy Harrisonâs eyes, he was still the same old backup option, the sycophantic loser.
Yet, the scene unfolding before her totally overturned her perception.
Greg Jensen was just a rural guy after all, at best a rural guy with some money.
How could he be so bold as to curse Jay Brent?
After all, the Ceaser Club was where Jay Brent had made his fortune, even surpassing the company he owned.
Because this place was guarded by a group of twenty-odd young men all year round.
What gave Greg Jensen the audacity to curse Jay Brent?
And it seemed⦠Jay Brent was somewhat⦠afraid of him?
How could that be possible?
Actually, itâs not Cindy Harrisonâs fault. Jay Brent was interested in her, naturally, he couldnât reveal his embarrassing incidents to her.
This also led to Cindy Harrison having no clue about just how formidable the current Greg Jensen was.
The office was silent. Jay Brent looked at the nonchalant Greg Jensen, his face livid, and said:
âKid, what the hell do you want coming to my place, if you have no business, then scram, youâre not welcome here.â
âHeh, why Iâm here, donât you know?â
Greg Jensenâs smile receded, and his gaze gradually turned icy as he looked at Jay Brent and said, âYouâve really made a nice deal, selling one plot of land to two buyers.â
At these words, Jay Brent sneered, âI have no idea what youâre talking about.â
In fact, his heart was as clear as a mirror: he had orchestrated the whole affair, so how could he be unaware?
However, he was certain Greg had no way to deal with him, so he felt even more fearless.
Hearing the exchange between the two men, Cindy Harrison also realized the purpose of Gregâs visit and couldnât help but say sarcastically:
âLook at you, Greg, when did you start falsely accusing people? You have to take legal responsibility for speaking like this.â
Suddenly, Greg turned his head to look at Cindy Harrison and asked, âOh? Did you plan this?â
Cindy Harrison was taken aback; she didnât want to get involved in such affairs and waved her hands repeatedly, saying, âDonât talk nonsense; I have nothing to do with your dispute.â
Greg had never indulged her and said directly, âIf itâs none of your business, why are you butting in? Did I ask for your input?â
âGreg, donât go too far!â
Cindy Harrisonâs eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and her eyes were full of anger.
Although Ethan Locke wasnât showing much interest in her now, due to her anticipated status as the future Mrs. Locke, she had always been pampered and treated like royalty; when had she ever suffered such humiliation?
However, it seemed Greg was not aware of this reality and didnât take her words seriously, instead pointing to the door and saying, âThe door is right there, get out!â
Cindy Harrison stood up abruptly, angered, âGreg, youâre going too far; this isnât your place, is it? What right do you have to tell me to leave?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Seeing Cindy Harrison being bullied, Jay Brent couldnât help but intervene, âThatâs right, this is my place, and if anyoneâs going to leave, it should be you. What right do you have to tell Miss Harrison to go?â
Greg couldnât be bothered to waste words with them and turned to Aiden Clarkâs bodyguard behind him, saying, âDrag this woman out, and throw her onto the street.â
The bodyguard, aware of Gregâs relationship with Wallace Carter, didnât dare to delay and quickly stepped forward, grabbing Cindy Harrisonâs arm and dragging her out.
âDamn it, Greg, what the hell are you trying to do?â
Jay Brent was about to explode with rage and was just about to stand up when Greg suddenly kicked him.
With a bang, Jay Brent was sent flying back onto the couch.
âAre you asking for death?â
âEnough!â
Wallace Carter shouted angrily, âJay Brent, it seems youâre the one looking for death! You dare to use me as your pawn? Not afraid Iâll go to war with you?â
âBrother Carter, what are you talking about?â
Jay Brent quickly squeezed out a smile, saying, âI still donât understand what youâre talking about.â
Seeing his stubborn denial, the corners of Wallace Carterâs mouth couldnât help but curl up in a cold smile, âLet me ask you, that 500-acre piece of agricultural land, isnât it you who arranged for it to be sold to Mr. Jensen?â
Jay Brent pretended to be innocent and said, âWhat are you talking about, Carter? Didnât I sell that land to you? How could I possibly sell it to someone else?â
âThen who used fake documents to sell the land to Mr. Jensen?â Wallace Carter asked.
Jay Brent glanced at Greg Jensen and replied with schadenfreude, âHow should I know? The guy has only been in Jamae for a few days, and heâs offended everyone.
If you ask me, it must be one of his enemies who canât stand him and purposely used my land to set him up.â
Wallace Carter laughed furiously, âJay Brent, are you treating me like an idiot?
In Jamae City, who would dare to use your land plot for such a thing? Name just one person â just one will do!â
âThisâ¦â
Jay Brent was left speechless; he had been known in Jamae City for many years, and his reputation was well established, hardly anyone would dare to touch this tigerâs whisker.
