Trevor looked at Jared cynically.
âHow do I know that, right?â Jared stared at Trevor without blinking.
Trevor said slowly, âMr.
Blake, youâve been in the business world for many years.
You shouldnât be so stupid that you canât think of anything! Have you never thought about why the surveillance cameras on the cruise ship were so functional, even though youâve already arranged for someone to take them out?â âA hacker?â Jared began to panic.
Trevor praised, âYes, Mr.
Blake.
You are finally smart for once.â Jared panicked even more.
He forced himself to remain calm and trick Trevor.
âIn the information age, hackers are indeed omnipotent in the world of the Internet.
Since I want to guard against you, how can I only have backups on the Internet? âJust like you said, I did record two other drives the same day I received the video.
One is in a safe in the bank, and the other is with a friend, of courseâ¦â Trevor smiled.
âMr.
Blake, how can a person who even harms his mother and son have friends? This is the funniest joke Iâve ever heard in my life.â âYou!â Jared felt insulted by Trevor.
It was infuriating.
However, he knew that now was not the time to be angry.
He sneered and said, âIn this world, friends donât matter.
Friends would come when thereâs something to be gained.â âYes, so now Blake Corporation belongs to Preston.
What other benefits are there for me to take from you, Mr.
Blake?â Trevor looked at Jared calmly.
He came to see Jared today for two reasons.
The first, of course, was to confirm in person and see if Jared had any other backups.
From the looks of it, the man indeed had no other backups.
Otherwise, Jared wouldnât have looked so flustered.
The second was to tell Jared that it was time for him to pay the price.
The heavens were watching.
Back then, Trevorâs family almost lost their lives in Halo River.
Jared panicked even more.
He refused to admit it and smirked.
âDonât be arrogant, young man.
You donât know what Iâm capable of just yet.
You know that I still have dozens of Blake Corporation shares in my hands.
Even without the shares, my assets can still last for 10 lifetimes.â âOkay, then, Mr.
Blake, go find your friend and expose it!â Trevor stood up.
Seeing that Trevor was about to leave, Jared asked anxiously, âWhat exactly do you want?â Trevor turned around and looked at Jared indifferently.
âWhat exactly do I want? I want you dead!â Jared was furious.
âFuck you!â Trevor glanced at Jared again and left.
Jaredâs various reactions meant that the man really did not have a backup in his hands.
Adam used all sorts of connections and finally met Jared a few days later.
He came with his lawyer.
Jaredâs first sentence when he saw Adam was for Adam to immediately log into his cloud.
He told Adam the password and that there was a video called âTrump cardâ in a folder called âEntertainment and Recreationâ on his cloud.
He thought that Adam had left his phone at home, but he did not expect Adam to bring it over.
Adam came to see him through special channels, so the electronic items were directly brought in.
Seeing that Adam had taken out his phone, he was excited.
âGive it to me.
Quick, let me see!â He immediately logged into his cloud.
He clicked on it step by step.
When he saw the video called âTrump cardâ, he laughed out loud.
âHaha!â âDad, whatâs wrong?â Adam asked.
Jared sneered again.
âThat idiot Trevor actually tricked me.
I really thought that he had destroyed it.
Thereâs hope.
Take this video to Annalise Barton immediately.â He felt that Trevor was stupid and that it was more reliable to negotiate with Annalise.
âOkay,â Adam replied.
Jared suddenly remembered that he could log into the cloud here, which meant that there was a signal.
He immediately said, âThereâs no need to go over.
Iâll send it to Annalise directly.â Coincidentally, he had Annaliseâs number saved in his phone.
He downloaded the video from the cloud.
After downloading it, he opened it.
Muffled sounds immediately came from the phone.
Jared was baffled.
He gritted his teeth and cursed, âFuck you and your family, Trevor Stinson!â Trevor actually changed the video.
Jared was really pissed.
âDad, whatâs wrong?â Adam did not understand.
Jaredâs expression was as ugly as if he had just eaten shit.
He gritted his teeth and said, âTrevor, that bastard!â âDad, are we still going to look for Annalise?â
Jaredâs expression turned even uglier.
The video was gone.
There was no use looking for Annalise.
At the door, the police came over and told Adam that visiting time was over.
There was a visit only because Adam had pulled strings.
Adam immediately replied, âOkay, be right there.â He looked at Jared again, the look his eyes asking what he could do.
Jared was furious.
If he had known that the video was gone, he would not have wasted his time on this.
He might as well have communicated the details with the lawyer earlier.
âTell Preston to come and see me,â Jared said.
Now that he was in this state, he could only think of a way to reconcile with Preston and get Preston to withdraw the lawsuit.
Even if he had to pay a little, it would be fine.
âDad, what if he doesnât want to come?â Adam asked.
âTell him that Iâm willing to sell my shares to him at a low price,â Jared said.
âDad!â Adam was a little anxious when he heard about reselling the shares at a low price.
Jared said, âLetâs lure him over first.â The police urged Adam not to make things difficult for them.
Adam had no choice but to leave with his lawyer.
The next day.
Preston came to see his father.
Upon seeing Preston, Jared heaved a sigh of relief.
He was originally worried that Preston would not come.
After all, the Preston he knew was extremely aloof and never cared about the shares in his hands.
Unexpectedly, Preston actually came.
âHumph, what did I say? Preston is just a pretentious bastard.â Jared thought.
âYouâre looking for me?â Preston sat on the couch and looked at Jared indifferently.
This man was only his father, biologically speaking.
That was all there was to it.
âWithdraw the lawsuit and Iâll resell my shares to you,â Jared said.
âJared, do you think that everything will develop according to your wishes?â Preston looked at Jared with a mocking expression.
âWhat do you mean?â Jared frowned.
âHe doesnât want those shares? âThen why does he come to see me? âOr is he trying to take advantage of the situation?â Jared wondered.
âWhat I mean is, you reap what you sow, and Iâm your retribution!â Preston said.
âWhat do you want then?â âIf possible, I want you dead!â Preston did not hide his hatred at all.
He took out his phone and played the video that Jared had recorded to threaten Trevor with, in order to save his life.
In the video, he admitted that he was the one who planned Prestonâs car accident seven years ago.
After playing the video, Preston stared at Jared with bloodshot eyes.
âJared Blake, youâre worse than an animal!â
