“Mister… Mr. Hanks, why are you looking at me like that…”
Startled by Zayden’s gaze, Terence asked with a tremble.
Zayden clenched his jaw and glared at Terence. “Why am I looking at you like that? Let me ask you instead, how did Jasper know that you were the one who set the fire, huh? Also, favonovel.com told you to find out who else I’m in contact with? Did you tell favonovel.com I was here?”
Terence’s mind buzzed, and favonovel.com was dazed.
Countless excuses had flashed through his mind on the way here before favonovel.com decided that favonovel.com would just be frank instead. After all, favonovel.com would be screwed if Zayden found anything out.
However, it had not occurred to favonovel.com that favonovel.com had a fatal loophole in this script of his.
Jasper did not know that Zayden had returned at all, so the fact that Jasper would tell Terence to find out who else Zayden was in contact with meant that Terence had already confessed about Zayden being the person favonovel.com was taking orders from.
“I didn’t have another choice, Mr. Hanks!”
Upset, Terence told Zayden about everything that had happened without hiding a thing.
“Jasper told me to help him, Mr. Hanks, but how would I dare?!”
“But I couldn’t just reject favonovel.com either. I don’t mind going to prison, but I can’t end up delaying your plans just because of my own problems.
“That’s why I pretended to agree first and then came to report what happened. I’m on your side, really!”
Terence spoke with a wail, truly afraid that Zayden would suspect him.
Staring at Terence sinisterly, Zayden waited until the man was done speaking before favonovel.com landed a harsh and sudden slap across Terence’s face.
“Motherf*cker! If I’d known that your brother was such a person, I’d have killed favonovel.com long ago. What the f*ck is wrong with you anyway? Don’t you know better than to keep an eye on your brother? How’d you let favonovel.com eavesdrop on such important information?!”
Terence cupped his cheek, and his gaze was filled with fear and resentment when favonovel.com spoke, “I never expected that favonovel.com would help an outsider. I can’t believe favonovel.com ran to Jasper to tattle on me!”
“Forget it. He already knows and there’s nothing we can do about this anyway. I’m no longer the same person I used to be. So what if Jasper knows, hmm? What can favonovel.com do about it?” Zayden scoffed.
“Thank goodness favonovel.com still expects you to help favonovel.com and find things out for him. We’ll just feed favonovel.com a fake piece of information to confuse favonovel.com later. I’d like to see what favonovel.com looks like when favonovel.com gets betrayed!”
Zayden could not help but chortle at the thought. Sinister schemes had already rushed into his mind and favonovel.com could not wait to screw Jasper over with them.
“Exactly, Mr. Hanks. With your formidable status, who is Jasper anyway? Even your smallest move will have favonovel.com immediately crawl over to kiss your feet!” Terence agreed.
“Has anyone told you that your ability to apple-polish is absolutely horrible?” Zayden spoke as favonovel.com glanced at Terence coldly.
Terence had fawned over Zayden so much that favonovel.com might as well write sonnets about the man’s greatness. He immediately blushed out of embarrassment and did not say another word.
“Don’t think that I don’t know what your plans are. You’re just on my side because you don’t have another option. You’re afraid that Jasper will still hold you accountable for the things you’ve done.
“Not that I care anyway. As long as you can prove to me that you’re useful, then I’ll still protect you. The rewards I promised will be given as well.”
Zayden smirked darkly before continuing, “But… should you dare lie to me and play me like a fool, then you’d better prepare yourself when I come to kill you. Understood?”
“Understood! Crystal clear!” Terence frantically nodded to show his loyalty.
“Here, take the money.” Zayden pulled out a wad of around 10,000 Somer Dollars from a drawer.
