Chapter 120
Oliver's head was filled with sweat. He knelt on the ground and begged for
forgiveness.
Josiah had always been someone who acted according to his heart. It was not
that he could not do something like commit murder or set a place on fire. Given
the Bayers’ power, even if Josiah killed him, it would only be one more missing
person in this world, and the Bayers would suppress the incident very soon.
As for Matthew...
He would stop at nothing as long as he was safe. There was a possibility that he
would turn against him and make him his scapegoat.
After all, Matthew had to keep a positive image in front of his father.
Oliver bit his lips and knocked his head on the floor hard. A wound appeared on
his forehead, and blood was jutting out of it.
“Please let me go, Mr. Bayer! I.... I promise that I'll do everything for you in the
future without any complaints!”
“Then what about your Mr. Hamerton?” Josiah asked as he sat at the center with
his leg crossed.
“I... I promise!” Oliver's face was pale. “I won't tell Matthew anything!”
“Do you think I'll believe you?” Josiah threw the dagger and the gun to the side.
“But if you swear your allegiance to me, I can consider forgiving you.”
“What is your order, Mr. Bayer?”
“You know Yelena, right?” Josiah grinned.
Marcus had not gotten the chance to punish Yelena for locking Cordelia up in a
basement with rats. After all, as the saying went, “Fighting evil with evil.”
He was going to make Oliver get rid of Yelena. This way, both of them would be
busy, and they wouldn't come to disturb Marcus and Cordelia anymore.
Oliver gulped hard and asked softly, “You... You want me to get rid of Yelena?”
“Mr. Jones, if you're willing to work for me and Z, we won't treat you badly.
“But you need to remember one thing. If you give even the slightest string of
information about us to Matthew... Hah, if Z can let you go, he can get rid of you
as well. Understand?”
Several days later, the news of Yelena getting cheated spread throughout the
entire business circle in Jangasas.
Even the people in Bowfest had heard about it.
No matter where Cordelia went, she would hear people laughing at Yelena.
Initially, she was the one who served the customer, but Yelena snatched him
away from her.
Two days ago...
Cordelia and Yelena appeared on the top floor of a building to visit a customer.
Cordelia was not very familiar with the customer. She just knew from the
information given to her by David that Mr. Rudd came from Asperia. He came
here to do business. David wanted her to pay a visit to him, so she came here.
She did not expect to run into Yelena at the front door.
“Are you here to visit Mr. Rudd too?” Yelena asked, her voice filled with mockery.
Whenever Cordelia recalled how Yelena locked her up in the basement, she felt
a chill down her spine and just did not want to talk to her.
“I'll make it very clear first. Mr. Rudd is going to sign the contract with me!” Yelena
smiled triumphantly. “The financial status of the Jenners is much stronger than
that little company of yours.”
“This kind of thing heavily depends on fate,” Cordelia replied calmly. “Anything is
bound to happen before the client signs the contract!”
Yelena glared at her, and then Mr. Rudd came out. Yelena hastily went forward
and hit Cordelia in her stomach with her elbow.
Cordelia yelped out in pain, and before she knew anything, Yelena stepped on
her feet, causing her to lose her balance and fall to the floor in front of everyone.
When she lifted her head, she saw that Mr. Rudd was looking at her like a clown.
“I'm sorry, Mr. Rudd!” Yelena went forward. “She’s my sister. Her mother has a
mental illness, so there's a loose screw in her head!”
