Addicted To Love - Chapter 309 How Dare You Say Her Name

Lucian would rather pay for damages than reach an agreement with Jonny.

Even though he wouldn’t profit from it, he would rather send An Group the message that Zhan Group could care less about money. Moreover, it wasn’t as if there were many companies who would rather have business with An Group.

Lucian almost lost his temper when he saw the red marks on Amelia’s neck last night. He thought that it was time to deal with his grudge against Jonny.

He only tried to keep calm in front of Amelia because he didn’t want to make her worry.

But he had known everything well enough before Amelia could even explain. He knew that she only acted that way because of Jonny’s threats.

The scars on her neck proved that Jonny could be mean in both words and deeds.

The call from An Group eventually came sometime in the afternoon. Jonny asked Lucian out that night so they could have a private talk.

Hearing his request over the phone, Lucian’s lips curved slightly. Disdain was written all over his face.

The men agreed to meet for dinner and Jonny arrived at the designated restaurant about half an hour earlier than scheduled.

Upon seeing Lucian, Jonny greeted him casually, but the former didn’t care much for his civility.

He took the seat opposite Jonny’s and sat without so much as a word. Even his face was devoid of expression.

“I’ve already placed an order, but have a look at the menu to see if you want anything else.” Jonny passed the menu to him but his enthusiasm for food was not shared by Lucian.

Lucian expressed his disgust and resentment through his eyes. He gave Jonny a sharp look

It was Lucian’s words that dealt the most critical blow.

Jonny was stunned into silence, and yet there seemed to be something hiding behind his eyes.

Jonny had wanted to blurt out the truth, but he knew that doing so too quickly would leave him with nothing against Lucian.

He worried that if Lucian knew about his true parentage, he might work together with Edmund to put an end to his leadership. His position as An Group’s CEO would be taken away, and Lucian would only be too happy to have him stripped off his power.

He realized that he had been too impulsive, and that he shouldn’t argue with Lucian over a few business losses.

Between An Group’s profit and the stability of his own position, remaining CEO was more important for him.

“You may leave now.” Jonny’s voice was low when he ordered his men to let Lucian go. He then smiled as he turned to him and spoke, “What you said just now was sobering. Regardless of everything, I must never forget that I owe you for everything I have now. What happened today is entirely my fault. Please forgive me.”

Given his sudden change in attitude, Lucian could only wonder if there was something wrong with Jonny.

“Jonny, I don’t know if you’re suffering from some sort of mental illness, but if you really want to compete with Zhan Group, do so after you’ve consulted a psychiatrist.” Lucian warned him indifferently.

After those words, Michael appeared out of nowhere with a look of worry on his face. “Lucian, are you okay?”

Michael had just been in a dinner party, but rushed over after receiving notification of what happened at his restaurant.
