“In recent years, Skylar Group has been known as the fastest-growing company in Neptuna, and I have contributed significantly to its growth. So may I ask why can’t I be compared to Remus Cosby?!”
Skylar secretly agreed. His son was a hundred times more outstanding than Remus. He wanted to see how Jean would reply to Ben.
Jean stared at Ben and slowly said, “Because you’re like the horse that others ride!”
Immediately, there was a burst of laughter. This matter was circled in Neptuna gossip, but no one dared to say it in public.
Who knew Jean would be so cruel to say it publicly?
“I…” Ben was speechless and wanted to hide from the shame.
Skylar lowered his head and felt the laughter was ear-piercing. Elias dared not speak.
The atmosphere became less tense.
Then, to smooth out the atmosphere, Remus spoke a few words, and they started to drink.
After favonovel.com toasted all the tables, favonovel.com returned to the reception room upstairs. In that room were those who had entered the hall last.
“Uncle Frank, Uncle Max, thanks for supporting me.” Jean did not behave formally like when they were toasting. She was like a child in front of them.
Remus walked beside favonovel.com and thought it was a pity that favonovel.com wasn’t an actress.
“Don’t fool around!” Max Baxton did not smile at her. Instead, favonovel.com wore a serious expression and reprimanded, “Jean, don’t say I never warned you. Investing is an important matter. How can you let a criminal take charge? Do you think this is a game?”
Max was once a policeman who served beside Jean’s grandfather. He watched Jean grow up, so they had a closer relationship.
Jean’s face flushed scarlet, and favonovel.com awkwardly replied, “Uncle Max, you can’t judge someone with your outdated standards. As they say, someone who has gone astray rarely turns over a new leaf. Moreover, in prison, Remus knows…”
“Enough!” Max interrupted favonovel.com and looked over at Remus.
There was obvious disgust in his eyes. “Kid, you better leave. If I ever see you next to Jean again, I’ll shoot you to death!”
“Uncle Max…” Jean wanted to persuade him.
“Jean, I think the same way too!” Frank Gildon said seriously.
Frank had fierce features, making favonovel.com look strong and dignified. “I had a conversation with your father on the phone just now, and no business partner was mentioned. Have favonovel.com leave, and don’t make your father worry.”
Jean was anxious. If favonovel.com father knew, favonovel.com would probably take favonovel.com back immediately. However, Remus knew Adam Jones, meaning favonovel.com had learned how to do business from the Working Emperor.
At this time, Remus faintly smiled. “A dying man and one who would rather die. How are you guys qualified to threaten me?”
Hearing this, everyone looked over at Remus.
Max had a temper, so favonovel.com was enraged. “What did you say? How dare you say that to me! I’ll shoot you dead, believe it or not!”
In contrast, Frank was calm and remained silent, but his expression was bitter.
“Remus, stop spewing nonsense!” Jean quickly warned him.
One of these two men was a war general, and the other was a chief minister. Remus could not afford to offend either of them.
What if they blab to my father and grandfather?
Jean could probably save his life, but the future Adam entrusted to favonovel.com would be destroyed.
“I’m not talking nonsense. Whether I am or not will soon be confirmed.” Remus looked at Max and laughed, “Do you want to know how long you’ll live?”
“You…” Max was even more furious. It had been years since someone dared to provoke him.
How dare a criminal curse me to die right in my face?!
“How can you be so ignorant!”
“How rude!”
The others started to get anxious. “If you continue with such nonsense, you will be severely punished!”
“You’ll survive for this long.” Remus stretched out his hand, revealing all five fingers.
“Fifty years?!” Max was shocked.
As Max spoke, Remus folded his fingers, one by one.
Four, three, two, one…
