Upon witnessing this scene, Samuel struggled to hold back his laughter. After all, no one had dared to scold Wilson like this before.
Wilson pressed his thumb against his other fingers while casually crossing his legs. He didnât refute Jacobâs accusations.
He knew he deserved Jacobâs scolding for his indecent behavior.
Jacob was still furious and deeply disgusted by Wilson for engaging in a relationship with Yvette, who he had a significant age gap with.
Jacob clenched his jaw tightly. âIâve known you for years, but never thought you could be so shameless! You chose to be a scoundrel instead of a decent person.â
Wilson did not back down. âSince Iâve committed to that role, I have no intention of letting go,â he replied nonchalantly. His tone remained unwavering as he continued, âIf youâre still angry, feel free to hit me.â
Jacob scoffed. âIn your dreams!â
He wouldnât hit Wilson, lest he go to Yvette later with his injuries and play the victim yet again.
Besides, a few punches wouldnât be enough to vent Jacobâs anger!
âYou agreed to break off the engagement before, so weâre still going through with it-â
Before Jacob could finish, Wilson interjected resolutely, âIâve changed my mind. I wonât break off the engagement.â
Yvette was destined to be his wife from birth, so Wilson had no intention of giving up on her.
Jacob snorted and glared at him grimly. âWhether you want to or not, the engagement will be annulled Stay away from Yvie. Thatâs also what my parents want.â
Before Wilson could respond, Jacob continued coldly, âGet out. I donât want to see you.â
The thought of Wilsonâs actions made Jacobâs anger surge, inciting his urge to punch him.
However, hitting Wilson would only give him the excuse to play the victim in front of Yvette. Hence, Jacob held back his impulsion.
Realizing that the negotiation had failed, Wilson strode out of the office.
He rubbed his temples while pondering ways to win his future inâlawsâ favor.
âWow, thatâs Mr. Quinnâ¦â
As Wilson walked away, the employees of Murray Corporation looked on with awe, gossiping amongst themselves in hushed tones.
*Did you hear the argument in the office? The rumors must be true!â
âYeah, I canât believe Mr. Murray and Mr. Quinn actually fought. Considering how battered Mr.
Quinnâs face looks, Mr. Murray mustâve hit him pretty hard!â
âWell, Mr. Quinn deserved it for breaking off his engagement with the Murray family. After all, Mr.
Murray has always been very protective of his younger sister. Now that news about the engagement annulment has spread through high society, it wonât be long before itâs officialâ¦*
With a creak from the door, Jacob walked out of his office with a stern expression. The employees immediately fell silent and acted as if they hadnât just been gossiping.
1 âMr. Quinnâ¦â Samuel, who stood at the doorway, hurried over to Wilson, who was making his way outside.
Seeing Wilsonâs displeased expression, he knew things hadnât gone well. To avoid provoking Wilson, he lowered his head to make himself less noticeable.
He had just returned from Wakara and didnât want to be sent back.
âWhatâs the progress of the tasks I assigned you?â Wilsonâs cold and deep voice broke the silence.
âMr. Quinn, Iâve prepared everything as you instructed,â Samuel reported respectfully. âIâll head to Jubilife University shortly.â
