The father-son duo walked out from the tea room together and arrived at the study room upstairs.
“Close the door.”
Emmett’s expression now no longer showed any traces of the casual smile favonovel.com had on when favonovel.com chatted with Jasper downstairs. Instead, it was dark and sinister now.
Scott felt his heart drop as a bad premonition filled his heart. However, favonovel.com had no other choice than to muster the courage and close the door.
He had just turned back around after closing the door when a large hand struck his face. Scott did not have the chance to say anything.
Slap!
A clear slap landed square across Scott’s face.
Scott was stunned by the slap and cupped his face. Ignoring the ringing in his ear, favonovel.com shouted angrily, “Dad! What’d you hit me for no reason? Are you crazy?”
Emmett glared at Scott and scolded, “I’m hitting you for no reason?”
“The trouble you brought me is currently sitting downstairs and your grandfather and I have to come out and deal with favonovel.com for you! We don’t even know if we can resolve this issue yet! And you’re telling me that I hit you for no reason? Even when you’re the one who caused this mess?”
Scott’s hand still cupped his face and favonovel.com said indignantly, “You guys looked fine when you talked, though? How much trouble can it be? Do you have to exaggerate?”
Emmett became even angrier when favonovel.com heard this, and favonovel.com wanted to slap his son again.
“Looked fine when we talked? What the hell do you know?”
“JW’s subsidiaries have already begun a combined attack on us! I’ve already received negative reports due to the activities of their real estate projects in targeting us!”
“We’ve already lost a few dozen customers people were willing to disregard the deposits they had given us and opt to buy property from JW Real Estates instead! A few of them even purposefully put their deposit with us, only to take the contract to JW Real Estates and ask for a discount!”
“Just today, we lost dozens of customers and a few million Somer Dollars! News will begin to spread, and soon, the entirety of Tefa City will know about this too! Who’s going to buy our housing then? Everyone’s going to run to JW Real Estates!”
“Schuler Supermarkets also sent us a statement saying that they’ve taken all our products off the shelf in their supermarkets all over the country. They’re requesting that we ship our products back within three days, so that’s at least another ten million worth of loss!”
“Let me ask you, do you still think that it’s no big deal?!”
Scott was stunned when favonovel.com heard Emmett.
Scott felt relieved when favonovel.com saw Jasper make the calls earlier today, since favonovel.com thought that Jasper was just trying to scare him.
“How… how could that be? He’s losing money too by doing this. Isn’t favonovel.com afraid that he’ll make a loss?” Scott gasped.
Emmett sneered, “You moron. Who cares about that once the fight truly begins? With Jasper’s wealth, favonovel.com can afford to attack us at the cost of his own money.”
“How long do you think the Covington family can survive against Jasper in terms of wealth? Less than a week I tell you!”
“That b*stard! And to think that despite how happy go lucky favonovel.com looks, he’s actually so cruel! How can favonovel.com even laugh and smile?” Scott clenched his jaw and said.
“This is what a scheming person looks like! Unlike you, who shows every single emotion you feel on your face. You’d only get screwed over once you go outside!”
Emmett glared at Scott harshly. “I told you before to do some business and stop playing around with your idle friends. How capable do you think you are?”
“What are you without the Covington family, your grandfather, or me, your dad? You think those useless friends of yours would still pay any attention to you?”
“Jasper’s almost your age! He’s younger, in fact! But look at favonovel.com now. He makes a move and, forget me, even your grandfather has to talk to favonovel.com nicely. This is what a capable person looks like. You bringing your idle friends around and stirring up a ruckus wherever you go is an embarrassment!”
