Chapter 121 Might As Well

Slap!

Before Zayne could even finish his sentence, another slap came his way.

“Jared…”

Slap!

“I…”

Slap!

As Zayne opened his mouth again, another tight slap quickly followed. He was beaten up to a pulp.

Finally, Zayne didn’t dare to even open his mouth anymore. Instead, he just stared at Jared with fearful

eyes.

Not only Jared, but the rest of them were also absolutely terrified after witnessing what happened to

Zayne. None of them dared to speak a word anymore. Lydia was trembling so badly as she sat down

quietly on her chair. She was worried that if she said another word, a slap was going to land on her face

as well.

Gradually, their gazes ended up on Xavier. Since he was the general manager of the company, surely he

was supposed to do something about what had just happened. Hence, everyone was eager to see what

would happen to Jared.

To everyone’s surprise, Xavier kept silent, and his grim expression remained. The atmosphere in the

room was so tense that it was suffocating.

“That’s enough. Serve the dishes!” After a few minutes, Xavier finally broke the silence.

Everyone was baffled by what they heard. Millions of questions were running through their minds. After

what Jared has done, why did Mr. Jennings still keep him around for dinner? Shouldn’t he have just fired

him on the spot instead?

Could it be that there’s something going on between them behind the scenes?

It can’t be!

Based on how they talked to each other just now, it was obvious that they aren’t even friends!

Where did he get the courage to beat up Zayne? Also, why did Mr. Jennings not do anything about it?

As Maria was busy attending to Zayne’s swollen face, she couldn’t take her fiery eyes off of Jared.

Soon after, the waiters started bringing in the dishes.

Every single one of the dishes looked appetizing and expensive.

Only when the table was filled with sumptuous dishes, did the gazes shift away from Jared. Right then,

everyone was salivating at the sight of such luxurious food.

Jared took his fork and dug in first.

Although everyone seemed to have something to say about Jared eating before Xavier, none of them

actually said a word. Well, they wouldn’t have dared since Xavier didn’t seem to mind.

“Let’s eat, everyone. Don’t be shy!” As soon as Xavier finished his sentence, everyone started devouring

the food. It was a rare opportunity for them to taste such lavish dishes.

Although Hilda was amazed at the sight of the dishes served, she kept her cool. Unlike the others, she

didn’t snatch for the food shamelessly.

That put her at a disadvantage because the plates had emptied before she even had the chance to try.

Jared noticed how shy Hilda was. Hence, he started taking the food on her behalf. “Hilda, eat up! Since

you’re not paying, you might as well just eat to your heart’s content!”

In a blink of an eye, Hilda’s bowl was filled to the brim.

Xavier was observing Jared’s behaviors. What does Josephine see in him?

Throughout the dinner, Xavier didn’t eat anything at all. Instead, he kept checking his watch as though he

was waiting anxiously for something to happen.

“Jared, I need to use the restroom.” Hilda stood up and got out of the room.

After a few minutes, Hilda ran back into the room anxiously. Her face was as pale as a sheet when she

sat down next to Jared.

“What’s wrong, Hilda?” Jared questioned.

“I-It’s nothing.” Hilda shook her head violently.

But as soon as Hilda finished her sentence, the door to the room was kicked open. Then, four burly men

walked through the door.

“Hey, little girl! Did you not realize that you’ve knocked me? Don’t you need to apologize?” one of the

men asked Hilda.

“I-It was an accident. I’m sorry!” Hilda stood up abruptly and started apologizing to the men.

As everyone was shocked by the forceful entrance made by the men, Xavier flashed an unnoticeable

smile.
