Chapter 98

“Don’t worry, I won’t leave you,” Jared reassured her with a smile. Troy, who was the first to dash out of
the room, turned around and yelled, “Jared, why aren’t you leaving?” When Maria also turned around
and noticed that Jared didn’t budge, she called out, “Jared!” The moment Josh sensed that Jared had
no intention of leaving, his expression turned grim. He sneered, “What’s wrong? Can’t bring yourself to
leave your girlfriend behind?”



Just as he spoke, Josh reached out to stroke Hilda’s face. Turning pale in fear, she didn’t even dare
avoid his hand. Just when Josh was about to make contact, Jared grabbed his wrist instead. “I never
had the intention of leaving at all.” When he finished, Jared tightened his grip. The next moment, a loud
crack rang out as Josh’s wrist was broken. The excruciating pain caused him to let out a cry so
agonizing that it sent a chill down everyone’s spine.

“F*ck, my hand is broken! Stop, or else I’ll kill you and your girlfriend!” Josh roared with a vicious
expression. Bam! Having launched a kick at Josh’s crotch, Jared sent him flying out of the room. By the
time he crashed onto the ground, his face turned purple. Jared’s kick had as good as castrated him.
Meanwhile, Charlie was outraged by what had just unfolded. “Kid, you’ve got some guts to beat my
client up in front of me!”

With a terrifying expression, Charlie waved his hand and ordered, “Close the door, and don’t let anyone
leave.” Consequently, Zayne and the rest were herded back into the office with the door locked. Back
inside, all of them stared daggers at Jared. If he hadn’t done anything, they would have already
escaped. “Jared, what the f*ck did you do that for? We would’ve left if it weren’t for you,” Zayne
bellowed.

Given how badly Josh was beaten up, Zayne and the others realized they wouldn’t be let off
easily. Why did Jared have to be a hero just for a girl when they had already released us? He has now



pulled all of us down with him! “Jared, if you have a death wish, why do you need to drag us along?”

“Exactly. If you want to fight so much, you should go out and duke it out on the streets.” “It’s over. We’re
done for because of you.” All of them, including Lydia, blamed Jared. Even though she was supposed
to stay back, she figured she could get away after having a few drinks. At worst, she would just spend
the night with him, and it would all be over. Unfortunately, by beating Josh up badly, Jared had
complicated the matter further.

Only Hilda looked at Jared with a worried expression. With tears in her eyes, she apologized, “Jared,
I’m sorry. I’m really sorry.” She knew that if it weren’t for her, Jared wouldn’t have done it. Therefore,
she was concerned that Jared might have to go back to prison. Or worse, he might even lose his life.

“It will be fine. Don’t worry.” Jared smiled casually. When everyone saw how Jared didn’t seem to be
bothered, they were further enraged, leading them to disparage him with greater intensity. Meanwhile,
Charlie’s expression darkened. “Bob, cripple that kid.” After nodding in acknowledgment, Bob dashed
at Jared and hurled his massive fist toward Jared’s head.

If the fist were to land, Jared’s head would be blown to mush. Anticipating what was going to happen,
everyone recoiled in fear, worried that they would be splattered with blood. With a resolute gaze, Hilda
gritted her teeth and stepped forward to shield Jared.
