William Jennings is from the north.
Back in the day, the Jennings Family was the leader of the seventy-two roads of the northern underworld.
Their wealth and family connections were beyond ordinary imagination!
Henry Chambers was just muddling about in a little city like Sedonia; he was nothing in front of William Jennings!
Who would have thought that, despite his age, this legendary figure could still stir things up, and even co to Sedonia...
Not only that, Henry Chambers noticed that William Jennings was accompanied by quite a few bodyguards.
All dressed in matching black suits, standing in a dark mass!
Sweat kept dripping down his forehead...
Raine Sinclair naturally noticed it too; she blinked, with no intention of letting Henry Chambers off easily.
She turned and said to William Jennings, "Grandfather, he just said I’m incompetent to manage Sinclair Group, and accused of playing with him."
"Really?" William Jennings raised an eyebrow, then looked at Henry Chambers, with his furrowed brows constantly exuding a strong murderous aura!
Henry Chambers’ knees went weak under his gaze, almost unable to stand!
Cold sweat poured down his back like a waterfall, he stamred nervously, "I’m... Mr. Jennings, please don’t misunderstand, I was just... joking with Ms. Sinclair! Got carried away, please don’t compare , a brute accustod to dealing with steel and concrete, with Ms. Sinclair!"
The change in attitude made Leo Keane gasp.
He thought his own speed at changing face was fast enough, especially when dealing with Jonas Hawthorne, but didn’t expect soone here to be faster!
Now recalling what Henry Chambers said earlier, it seed like a joke?
Raine Sinclair found it amusing; this person truly bullied the weak and feared the strong.
One mont aggressive, now suddenly playing the victim?
Mason Sullivan also stepped forward and revealed his true nature with a single sentence, "Don’t say that, you just insulted Ms. Sinclair as a whore, and in a blink, you forgot?"
As soon as the word ’whore’ was spoken, Mason Sullivan felt the powerful murderous aura emanating from Mr. Jennings!
Sure enough, the next second, Mr. Jennings burst angrily, "What kind of thing are you? Dare to be so arrogant!"
This roar directly shocked Henry Chambers to the bone!
His knees buckled, almost kneeling!
"Mr. Jennings, spare ; I know I was wrong!" Henry Chambers didn’t care about dignity anymore, imdiately began to beg for rcy.
At this point, Leo Keane sighed, "Now you know you’re wrong? Everyone heard you bully Ms. Sinclair earlier, right?"
People around looked at each other, briefly pondering before nodding collectively, "Yes, we all saw it!"
"..." Henry Chambers’ head buzzed!
Seeing this scene, William Jennings beca angrier!
Thinking of his cherished granddaughter, who had been loved dearly since childhood, being snubbed by such an unworthy scoundrel, anger boiled in him, swiftly calling his bodyguards.
"Instruct everyone, from this mont on, anyone who dares collaborate with or assist this guy will be blacklisted by the Jennings Family! Within three days, I want him completely vanished from Sedonia!"
"Yes!"
Henry Chambers was first stunned, then lunged forward, continuously begging for rcy, "Mr. Jennings! You can’t block all my life paths! Mr. Jennings! Ms. Sinclair! I was wrong!"
Sinclair Group’s security then stepped forward and dragged him from the scene.
Raine Sinclair coolly watched his struggling back, catching a glimpse of Jonas Hawthorne and Finn Wyatt from the corner of her eye.
She was taken aback.
Why were these two standing together?
And...
Both seed to be watching her?
Were they talking behind her back?
She wasn’t being paranoid, it’s just these two seed hardly likely to co together to praise her, right?
Jonas Hawthorne discovered Raine Sinclair watching him at that mont, as if a void in his heart was slowly being filled.
Even though they were so far apart, he couldn’t discern the emotions in her eyes...
Finn Wyatt noticed as well.
Unlike the brooding Jonas Hawthorne, he directly waved at Raine Sinclair, then gave her a thumbs-up!
The two had known each other for many years, and Raine Sinclair’s performance today undeniably deserved praise!
But this action drew a cold stare from Jonas Hawthorne, whose expression was full of disdain.
Finn Wyatt noticed, snorted dismissively, "Why are you looking? You’re about to remarry, and you won’t even allow other n to glance at your ex-wife?"
"What remarriage?" Jonas Hawthorne’s brows furrowed tightly.
"Mr. Hawthorne might not tell you still don’t know? The news has been buzzing since early morning, on the third of next month, an auspicious day, Hawthorne Group’s president to wed again!" Finn Wyatt’s tone was sowhat exaggerated, deliberately for Jonas Hawthorne to hear.
Who knew Jonas Hawthorne’s eyes darkened, seemingly genuinely unaware of this matter, promptly pulling out his phone.
After casually browsing two or three pages, the second hot search was his and Candace Ford’s wedding news.
He wasn’t the one who released it, so naturally, it must be the other party involved.
Finn Wyatt, observing his reaction, couldn’t help but be a little curious, "So Mr. Hawthorne truly didn’t know? Looks like the new Mrs. President is indeed favored, even such significant matters can be decided by herself?"
Jonas Hawthorne shot him a cold glance, turned, and made a call.
The first call wasn’t to Candace Ford, but to his secretary.
"What’s with the wedding news? Who released it?"
A deep voice, simring with suppressed fury!
The secretary trembled, weakly asking, "Isn’t this what Mr. Hawthorne wanted?"
"When?" Jonas Hawthorne’s tone grew colder.
"This morning, Ms. Ford specifically instructed, saying..."
Before the secretary finished, Jonas Hawthorne didn’t want to hear anymore, "Get the ssage retracted imdiately!"
"... Yes!" Terrified by the boss’s anger, the secretary, although curious why a ssage sent in the morning must be retracted now, dared not ask more!
After hanging up, Jonas Hawthorne glanced back at Raine Sinclair not far away.
With Mr. Jennings present, the entire surroundings were surrounded tightly by Jennings Family’s bodyguards, presumably no one would dare act recklessly anymore.
No one would dare bully her again...
Once assured of this, Jonas Hawthorne finally turned and left.
Finn Wyatt quietly took in the whole scene.
Looking back at Raine Sinclair, who was announcing the bidding results, his eyes showed a hint of interest.
"Raine Sinclair, they say you’re not capable yet you can make soone like Jonas Hawthorne travel so far to see you at a glance. They say you are capable yet got pushed away by The Mistress. You are indeed a mystery..."
Unaware of these happenings off stage, under her grandfather’s protection, Raine Sinclair had already conducted the bidding process to the final stage.
"Next, it’s the thrilling bid unveiling segnt! The winning company for this bid is..."
