YM778.TV Chapter 228 - 227 Recognize This Face_1
Jett Martin’s kneeling had indeed startled the gathered youths.
“Uncle John Martin, please don’t be upset!”
The youth who had just spoken immediately walked over, helping him up with flattery, “Today, we brothers will help you scrap this kid, to take revenge for Mr. Henry Green!”
“Yes! Uncle John Martin, rest assured! I, Sonny Ridge, will make sure he’s dead!”
Taking this opportunity, the youths all wanted to show themselves off.
Slap!
The first thing Jett Martin did after standing up was to backhand slap that youth.
“Uncle, why did you…”
The youth, covering his face with his hand, looked at Jett Martin incredulously.
He hadn’t said anything wrong, and the one who messed with Abigail Martin was right there– why hit him?
“Say that again!”
Jett Martin pointed at the youth, asking with a fierce gaze.
This scene startled everyone present, only Ovidiu Cook and a few others understood what was going on.
They had invited an important person, who Jett Martin’s son had just offended!
Setting aside how difficult it was to invite this VIP, once he had finally agreed to meet with them, Jett Martin’s son had the audacity to harass his wife. Hadn’t that dragged down the entire impression of the Gonzalez City rich?
Ovidiu Cook was fuming with rage.
Everyone knew that Jett Martin belonged to him, and now that Abigail Martin had offended the important person, even if the rich of Gonzalez City didn’t speak of it aloud, they would hold him responsible.
Although he was the richest man in Gonzalez City, raised high by everyone, it
was because he united these rich businessmen.
That was exactly the purpose of Twilight Mansion’s existence in the first place.
If these rich started harboring complaints, Ovidiu Cook would not have an easy time.
Slap!
Another crisp slap sound brought everyone back to their senses.
“Mr. Reed, I…”
Jett Martin knelt once more before Julius Reed, stammering, at a loss for words.
“Please, don’t remember the offense of the lesser man…”
“Sorry, I’m quite vindictive, and when I’m wronged, I repay it on the spot,” Julius Reed interrupted him, smiling as he looked at Jett Martin.
“I’ve heard your Sawyer Group is very impressive, even planning to terminate collaboration with my wife’s company.”
“Mr. Reed, it’s a misunderstanding…”
“Sawyer Group is a leading tech group in Gonzalez City? I don’t think that position should belong to you, right?”
“Mr. Reed…”
“Good! You and Ovidiu Cook were brothers in the past. I heard you two were inseparable. Sawyer Group grew so large only because Titan Group supported it from behind, right?”
Thud!
Ovidiu Cook’s legs went weak and he knelt straight to the ground.
“Mr. Reed, I wasn’t aware of this! Please give me another chance…”
In front of all the businessmen, Ovidiu Cook didn’t care about his own face, simply kneeling straight down.
The businessmen were stunned.
They had just heard how formidable this person was, but no matter what, Ovidiu Cook was the wealthiest man in Gonzalez City, a representative of the business community there.
Even in the face of wealthy peers, it shouldn’t come to such an abject display.
But now, the wealthiest man of Gonzalez City was kneeling on the ground.
“The woman of Julius Reed, even if it’s the Lord of Heaven, must show me some respect!”
The previously smiling Julius Reed suddenly became very serious.
With a stern face, he yanked Ovidiu Cook up from in front of him, “Do you understand?”
Other people might not understand who Julius Reed was, but Ovidiu Cook knew all too well.
Now, so frightened he didn’t know what to say, his whole body was shaking.
Bang!
Julius Reed pushed forcefully, sending Ovidiu Cook crashing to the ground.
He looked at the rich of Gonzalez City before him, pointing at Quella Radcliffe repeatedly enunciating, “Remember this face well. Anyone who disrespects her, dies!”
When the word “die” was uttered, Jett Martin’s face turned ashen, and he collapsed to the ground.
“Uncle John Martin, this…”
The youngsters were even more bewildered.
All present were business tycoons who, due to their forebears, had met on various occasions.
But now, these tycoons were actually showing utmost respect to a teenager.
“Get out!” Crack!
Jett Martin suddenly got up from the ground, grabbed a beer bottle, and smashed it onto the young man’s head.
“It’s all because of you bastards, always taking Abigail out to mess around! Now… now I’ve been screwed over by him too!”
Bang!
He acted like a madman, pinning the young man to the ground, brutally beating him.
“Let’s go home, this meal at Twilight Mansion, we can’t afford it!” Julius Reed smiled faintly and embraced Quella Radcliffe in his arms.
This startled Ovidiu Cook.
“Mr. Reed, it was my fault for not taking care enough! If I had known…” “You’d better shut up while I’m not angry! ”
Julius Reed turned around, his face dark as he looked at him: “Ovidiu Cook, you really disappoint me!”
“Mr. Reed…
Ovidiu Cook clenched his fists, his complexion already ghastly pale.
The position of Gonzalez City’s wealthiest man was all given by Julius Reed.
What was given could be taken back!
“I don’t want today’s incident to leak out.”
Julius Reed didn’t pay attention to him, instead, he looked at the wealthy businessmen present.
“Understood ! ”
The businessmen were silent as cicadas in winter, each one scared out of their wits.
“And one more thing.”
After getting a response from the businessmen, Julius Reed nodded, pointing to the group of petrified youngsters: “These people, their lives don’t seem to have any meaning, do they? Taking advantage of men, bullying women, they’re a blight on Gonzalez City’s atmosphere.”
“No! We were wrong!”
Even a fool could see what the situation was now.
One by one, they knelt on the ground, all pointing at Abigail Martin, crying out: “It was all Abigail Martin’s idea, it has nothing to do with us!”
“Right! It was all Mr. Henry Green… Pah! It was that bastard Abigail Martin’s idea, his family has money and power, who dares not to listen to him?”
“Please, have mercy on us!”
The youngsters, whose families had some money, usually followed Abigail Martin doing whatever they pleased, never knowing restraint.
Now that they’d hit a snag, they were all terrified.
“And their family businesses, let’s forget about them too. Raising such kids, their parents must be troublemakers as well.”
Julius Reed glanced at these people indifferently and left the place without looking back.
Not long after he walked away, Ovidiu Cook, who had come to his senses, suddenly stood up from the ground and glared at the wealthy businessmen: “Whoever dares to utter a word about today’s events, die!”
“Understood!”
The businessmen wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, still trembling.
“Brother, brother please help me!”
Jett Martin crawled to Ovidiu Cook’s feet, pleading: “Give me another chance, say some good words for me, you and I are brothers…”
“Jett Martin! My biggest mistake was becoming brothers with you!” Ovidiu Cook shouted angrily and waved to the security guards: “Make it clean!”
“Understood!”
The security guards, who were extremely fearful at first, immediately turned fierce and menacing!
“Turn off the lights!”
Click!
The lights in the restaurant’s first floor were instantly turned off..
