Chapter 46 3 He Might Seek Revenge on You
Having achieved his objectives, Jean was content. Soon, Sonny reluctantly signed the contract, his handwriting so forceful that the ink almost pierced through the paper.
After his last stroke, he flicked the pen and demanded a promise from Jean with a cold face.
âIâve agreed to all your terms, so you should promise me to stop targeting Crimea Group from now on.
Itâs only fair!â
Fair?
Jean responded with a hint of sarcasm, âShould the typically unscrupulous Crimea Group be discussing fairness with others?â
Sonny found himself the object of Jeanâs mockery, his expression growing colder. âEnough with that talk!â
Naturally, Jean refrained from offering a direct response. Instead, he uttered coldly, âWhether I make a promise or not isnât important. What truly matters is how you act in the future⦠If you continue interfering with the Beauvort Group or Startales, I donât mind claiming a portion of Crimea Groupâs assets.â
With that said, he left the place along with Neera and lan.
Sonny and Damian were the only ones left in the private room.
Shaking with trepidation, Damian asked, âMr. Sonny⦠Mr. Sonny, can we trust Jean? He left without making any promises. Could he report us to the authorities?â
Sonny, who had been containing his rage, erupted at Damianâs words.
He spun around, directing a fierce and violent kick straight into Damianâs abdomen.
âWorthless fool! If you hadnât displayed your cowardice just now and blurted out things you shouldnât have, leading us to be caught in this situation, would Jean dare to perch on my shoulders and treat me like his doormat?! Itâs all because of you, you wretched im becile!â
Damian crumbled to the ground after the forceful kick, his face contorted in pain. However, his anguish took a backseat to his intense fear.
âIâm sorry, Mr. Sonny, itâs my fault. Iâm foolish. Iâm so sorryâ¦â
Sonnyâs anger raged on.
Having suffered such a substantial setback, he was not about to let it slide.
Without hesitation, he retrieved his phone and promptly reached out to someone from the Nacrene Organization.
Throughout the ordeal, Neera had not uttered a single word.
Only once they left the room, she gave Jean a thumbs up and praised him, âMr. Beauvort, you were so cool just now, I admire you.â
Jean was momentarily taken aback, amusement dancing in his eyes. âOf course, projecting strength is vital when it comes to dealing with others in negotiations.â
Neera agreed, âAbsolutely! Itâs important to assert dominance, especially when dealing with people like Sonny. I wish I could have clapped for you right then and there. The scene was too wonderful!â
Jean was in a good mood after being praised by Neera.
However, Neera could not help but express her concern.
âStill, you were so forceful and intimidating. Considering his malicious nature, arenât you afraid heâll seek revenge on you? He might retaliate.â
Jean waved off her worries, âDonât worry, Iâll be on guard. Iâll send someone to guard Startales. But, I have a feeling⦠he wonât have anything against us in the future.â
Neera was perplexed.
What does he mean by that?
She had been wondering whether Jean would stop pursuing legal action against the Crimea Group.
After all, the Crimea Group had blood on their hands, and it felt somewhat unfair to not bring them to justice.
Perhaps Jeanâs words seemed to imply that he⦠has some sort of plan?
Bolstered by her curiosity, Neera could not restrain herself from asking, âDo you already have a plan?â
Jeanâs expression turned solemn as he responded, âI donât have a specific plan in mind. However, I donât know about the plans the victimâs family may have.â
Neeraâs heartbeat quickened as she understood what he meant.
Jean might not need to intervene, but he could potentially motivate the victimâs family to seek justice!

âThatâs a clever and morally upright approach⦠Mr. Beauvort, youâre amazing.â
She smiled as she offered her genuine admiration.
Jean arched his eyebrow and smiled as he mimicked her tone, âMs. Garcia, youâre quite something. Itâs been a productive day. Letâs head back for now. We can discuss our collaboration some other time.â
