Chapter 284

Jay covered his face with one hand while his head buzzed.

‘Who… who did I offend?’

“Dad, I did… I didn’t…”

Jay tried to explain, but his father slapped him in the face again.

“B*stard! Get down on your knees!”

Jay’s father was furious as he wished he could strangle Jay alive.

The Bennett family’s business had been shut down recently.

No one could run a company without some dirt.

Everything was fine when no one looked into the dirt, but you would be in trouble once they did.

Jay’s father had usually spent money in making connections.

Therefore, it had never been a big deal.

This time, none of his previous connections worked.

The Bennett family’s businesses had been closed down for investigation, with no prospect of reopening.

After they shut down, their partners came to demand their money, while their supplier urged for payment…

It had put the Bennett family at the heart of the struggle, left to suffer.

Jay’s father knew that the Bennett family must have offended someone they should not, and so they were deliberately messing with them!

Whoever caused the trouble must solve it.

Therefore, he had spent countless hours and money looking into this matter these days.

Just then, the two middle-aged men working for the government told Jay’s father something before leaving.

“There’s nothing seriously wrong with the Bennett family.”

“It’s just that… you seem to have failed in educating your son, Mr. Bennett.”

The middle-aged men finished speaking, got in the car, and left.

With Jay’s father’s wits, how could he not get what he meant?

That meant Jay had recklessly offended someone he should not!

The Bennett family had built their business empire over two generations.

Therefore, no one said much about Jay’s spendthrift behavior since the Bennett family was wealthy.

However, Jay had now offended a big shot who could destroy the Bennett family at the wave of H their hand.

How did this not upset Jay’s father?

“Think!

“Think about who the h*ll you’ve offended recently!

“If you can’t figure it out, the Bennett family is going bankrupt with tens of millions of dollars. in debt, and you can sleep on the f*cking street!

Jay’s father pulled a chair over and sat down as he stared angrily at Jay.

“I…”

Jay was worried too. His mind raced through who he had offended recently.

‘I’ve caused a lot of trouble with Herbert, but Herbert has handled them easily.’

“Therefore, if I’ve offended a so-called big shot, it seems…”

‘It was probably Mr. Bill Wallace and his friend.’

“Dad, I… I offended Mr. Wallace…”

Jay could not help trembling with apprehension.

He thought they were way past that incident, but now it seemed that Bill was not letting him off the hook!

“Mr. Wallace? Which Mr. Wallace?”!

Jay’s father froze slightly.

“It’s… Mr. Bill Wallace…”

Jay gritted his teeth and told the truth.

“Hsss!”

Jay’s father suddenly gasped and jumped up from his chair.

“You! You b*stard!

“How dare you offend such an influential man? Has life been too easy for you?

“Do you know that Bill’s ruthless and has a powerful triad leader like Flint behind him? No one dares to mess with him.

“More importantly, Flint has recently taken over the River City underworld one by one. It seems he’s dominating the River City underworld.

“I used to be able to talk to Bill, but now he won’t even look at me!

“How dare you piss them off?”

Jay’s father got angrier and angrier as he thought of it. He stepped forward, grabbed Jay by the collar, and slapped him hard in the face twice.

“Dad, I…”

Jay finally realized how serious his mistake was. He covered his face as he looked down.

“Damn it! The cripple must have blamed it all on me. He must have spoken ill of me to Mr.

Wallace.

“No wonder Mr. Wallace let him go. He must have begged Mr. Wallace for mercy and blamed me for everything.

“Mr. Wallace probably didn’t want to bother with him because he was only a cripple, so he let him go.

“Then Mr. Wallace took it out on us!”

The more Jay thought about it, the angrier he felt. He thought that the Bennett family was having such a hard time because Sean had badmouthed Jay in front of Bill.

Jay’s father frowned slightly when he heard that. Then he interrupted with a wave of his hand.

“I don’t care who the cripple you mentioned is.

“Now, tell me what happened and how you pissed off Mr. Wallace.

“Then I’ll talk to Mr. Wallace.”

Jay’s father said as he glared at him with a slight frown.

“Okay, okay…”

It concerned the fate of the whole Bennett family. Jay dared not ignore it and hurriedly explained the whole thing.
