Chapter 1008: Bodyguard
Xu Feng’s eyes narrowed as he held Rebecca’s arm and dragged her behind him.
Afterward, he stepped forward and blocked Jackie’s advance.
"What do you plan on doing?" Xu Feng questioned coldly. He originally planned to leave quietly, but Jackie’s murderous intent made it hard for him to simply ignore it.
"Move aside," Jackie hissed coldly.
Based on his expression, he had clearly mistaken Xu Feng for so bodyguard.
After all, Xu Feng was dressed way too casually and completely lacked the appearance of a VIP.
"Feng, just end him quickly." Rebecca suddenly held a sly grin and ordered.
Allison sighed in response when she realized her friend was up to no good again.
Thanks to Rebecca’s order, Jackie’s thought process was reinforced that Xu Feng was a bodyguard or similar type.
’Won are really troubleso.’ Xu Feng twitched his brows. He didn’t expect his kind gesture would result in a backlash.
It was a good thing that he didn’t speak much to Rebecca. Otherwise, who knows what kind of sches she might plan ahead?
"You’ve heard the miss, right?" Taking on the role of a bodyguard, Xu Feng might as well have used her na to deter the other party.
"If you don’t leave right now, then I’m afraid the Richards Family will have a lovely talk with your Carlson Family."
Sure enough, Jackie’s body trembled slightly upon hearing the Richards Family. Initially, he wished to establish contact first with Rebecca in hopes of using the latter’s family reputation to alleviate his Carlson Family.
Despite not being involved in the scandal, it still affected him deeply.
Additionally, if he managed to resolve the family’s crisis, then his chances of inheriting the family’s fortune, as well as rising in the family would increase trendously.
Although the Carlson Family was lacking in comparison with the Richards Family, their family still held substantial influence.
How could he be willing to scram just because Rebecca told him to?
Jackie ignored Xu Feng’s presence. Instead, he shifted his attention to Rebecca and said. "Miss Rebecca, I only hope that you can take back the words you said earlier. Our family is still in a legal court battle regarding the sexual harassnt case. Innocent until proven guilty. Your words have a heavy implication that we’re guilty."
He knew the opportunity was lost already, but he needed the latter to clarify the matter. Otherwise, the other people watching the scene would definitely spread the news to the dia about Rebecca’s statent.
By then, even if their family was declared innocent, they would have lost the public trust.
After all, behind Rebecca was the Richards Family who controlled the finance market.
"Want
to take back my words?" Rebecca raised an eyebrow before bursting into laughter.
Soon, her expression turned cold as she sneered, "Who the hell do you think you are to tell
what to do? A re Carlson Family—no, a re Jackie who is akin to a nobody dares to talk to
as an equal is laughable enough. When I said get out, I ant it."
Just because Rebecca had been behaving mild and gentle toward Xu Feng and Allison didn’t an she would be the sa toward others. This was especially true when the opposing person ca here with ill intentions.
With a single glance, Rebecca instantly understood Jackie was overestimating himself and wanting to ride on her family’s background to resolve his issues.
This was the kind of incident that she had dealt with daily.
How could she possibly fall for it?
As Rebecca’s tone went sharp and cold, Jackie also lost his patience.
In the heat of rage, Jackie attempted to propel himself forward to teach Rebecca a lesson. Their Carlson Family had always been the arrogant one, and never the other way around.
So what if you’re from the Richards Family?
Their family was already suffering a heavy reputation and stock market pumling, so his action could only be considered a drop in the ocean.
"What a foolish choice." Allison shook her head. She wasn’t worried at all about Jackie’s sudden offense.
After all, she knew about Xu Feng’s capability the most. Back when her ho was invaded, it was also thanks to Xu Feng’s contribution and effort that managed to thwart the invasion.
This incident was also known by Rebecca, which was why she displayed zero fear and even enticed Xu Feng to make a move in advance. Knowing it and seeing it first-hand were two totally different experiences after all.
Indeed, without much surprise, Xu Feng swiftly caught up to Jackie and apprehended him on the spot.
