The Spoiled Girl - Chapter 1565 Block The Way

“Don’t tell me what to do! Get out of my way and just mind your own business!” Darren shouted in a fit of rage. He didn’t have a single ounce of care for Harlan’s plea. At that moment, it was clear that no one could put his mind at ease. “If you don’t step aside right now, I might kill you as well.”

Harlan wanted to leave as soon as possible when he heard Darren’s threat against him. But he was too concerned about what trouble his boss might get himself into. As a result, he stood his ground and pleaded once again. “Mr. Xu, please don’t let your anger cloud your judgment. You’ll lose your whole life’s work if you kill someone. Are you really prepared to sacrifice everything just because of Jacob?”

“Don’t make me say it again! Get out of my way right now!” Darren shouted again while staring at Harlan with his bloodshot eyes. Even though Darren was dead serious about killing him, Harlan still tried his best to calm his boss down.

“Think about the people who look up to you. They’ll be disappointed if they find out that you killed someone. To make matters worse, some people might even think that you’re a coward for choosing to kill your competitor instead of battling him with your wits. Do you really want people to remember you that way?”

Harlan’s words infuriated Darren even more. Without hesitation, he threw a powerful punch straight at him. Luckily, Harlan was able to block it with his arm. Unfortunately, the punch was so strong that it made him fall to the ground. Before walking out the door, Darren raised his right foot and stomped on Harlan’s stomach while he was on the floor. Harlan curled up in pain. On the other hand, Darren just looked at him like he was a stranger and walked past him.

“Mr. Xu! Please don’t do this! Don’t let your anger ruin your whole life! You might not care about me, but please think about Bonnie! She’s still in prison and waiting for you to save her! If you really kill Jacob, who’s going to set her free?”

Just with the mention of Bonnie’s name, Darren regained a part of his sanity. He started to look a little less crazy and acted like a person that could be reasoned with.

In his heart, he knew it was true. If he was to get himself imprisoned, there would be no one else left to help Bonnie. Could he really let her live the rest of her life behind bars?

To make matters worse, anyone who wanted to harm Darren knew that his weakness was Bonnie. If he was to disappear, who would protect the love of his life?

When Darren finally calmed down, Harlan breathed a sigh of relief.

While gasping for air, Harlan could smell a scent of blood coming from his mouth. However, he couldn’t care about it since he needed to make sure that his boss wasn’t going to lose it again. After struggling to stand up, he stood at Darren’s

d then reported while his legs were trembling in fear. “Boss, I just spoke to one of the HT Group’s employees. They said that Jacob was on a business trip today and he didn’t even step one foot into the building at all.”

With just those words, all of Bill’s men immediately felt fear in their hearts. They knew they had wasted an hour of their boss’s time for absolutely nothing.

Bill took out a cigarette from his mouth and threw it on the ground. After that, he stepped on the cigarette butt and sneered. “Is this why I pay you? To give me useless information?” While asking those questions, he gave his man an even harder slap on the head.

The man became light-headed from the pain and his legs trembled to the point that he almost knelt on the ground.

His punishment made the other men scared for their lives. Nobody dared to breathe loudly in fear of being punished by Bill as well. Just the sound of Bill’s hand hitting the man’s head gave everyone else a headache.

Right at that moment, everyone wanted to leave. They knew that if their boss was in a bad enough mood, he wouldn’t hesitate to kill one of them.

“Why are you still standing here? Do you think I want you back?” Bill frigidly asked. His blood was at a boiling point and he didn’t want to see this man anymore. As a result, he simply turned around and left.

“Wait!” an unknown female voice shouted in Bill’s direction. He squinted his eyes at the woman in front of him. She was a few meters away and the darkness made it hard to distinguish her face. But when he finally knew who he was looking at, a menacing smile quickly appeared on his face.

“Boss?”

Bill shook his head and replied, “We seem to have hit the jackpot. We’ve wasted so much time here waiting for Jacob and he wasn’t even here. But look at what we have now. It’s the woman he loves the most. What a lucky turn of events this is!”
