Chapter 26 I Am a Bastard
"Aah!"
With a scream, Ben fell directly to the ground, his head full of wine, blood and glass pieces.
He looked at Aiden in horror; his expression was distorted, as blood and wine slowly trickled down his face.
"You, you have the gut to hit me? Aiden Lott, I, I will tell my sister!"
"You've made a terrible mistake; it's not too much even if I were to kill you!"
Aiden was sweating profusely; he threw punches at Ben, and said angrily, "You have offended Mr. Ward; how dare you be so presumptuous? I will divorce your sister when I get back. Even if you die, I will make you apologize to Jack and admit your mistake!"
His voice was so cold that people have no doubts about what had happened.
Ben's face was covered with blood, he looked hideous and terrifying. He squinted at Aiden in panic.
His sister was his only support.
For so many years, he was able to act grandiose and get by in his Aiden's company with his sister's care, and Aiden's concession to his sister.
If Aiden really divorced his sister, then he would have nothing.
Thinking of losing his current comfortable and extravagant lifestyle, Ben finally relented.
He struggled, looking like a defeated dog, and hugged Aiden's thigh, "Aiden, I was wrong. I know I was wrong... Please don't divorce my sister."
Aiden looked cold and hostile.
He had been in business for many years and gradually became a figurehead others looked up to.
As a businessman, he knew what actions to decisively make in the business battlefield.
He said coldly, "Apologize to Jack and Mr. Ward first!"
Crash!
The remaining half of the wine bottle in his hand smashed to the ground.
The crisp sound made Ben suddenly shiver.
He looked back at the indifferent Jack and Mr. Ward.
Without any hesitation, he crawled and threw himself in front of Jack.
"Jack, I'm sorry. I apologize to you. Since we used to be colleagues, forgive me."
Ben cried and bowed toward Jack desperately with his head banging on the ground.
He knew that Mr. Ward was the one behind Jack, and that he came today to help out Jack.
If he wanted to maintain the easy life he always had, he must get Jack to forgive him.
However, Jack sat on his chair calmly without even looking at Ben.
Mr. Ward and Aiden already expected things would play out like this.
Ben looked at Jack desperately, with blood and tears mixed on his face. He looked extremely embarrassed, and his arrogance had gone.
He was far too used to his extravagant life, so it was far more painful to take that lifestyle away from him than to kill him.
But Jack's reaction made him feel extremely uneasy.
Boom!
Aiden stepped forward and kicked Ben's back hard.
With a scream, Ben slammed his head with a large "bang" onto the ground.
"Bow! Bow to death! Bow for Jack's forgiveness, or else just bow to death here!" Aiden's voice was extremely cold, but there were dense beads of sweat on his forehead.
In this city, he was indeed a powerful man, a man of great influence in the business world. But in front of Mr. Ward, he didn't even have the qualifications to wipe Mr. Ward's shoes. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made the decision to sell DT within just a few minutes.
Ben didn't know any better to pick on Jack. If Jack didn't forgive him today, Aiden might be to blame by Mr. Ward.
To Aiden, it would spell the end of his role in the business world then.
Jack raised his brows and took a long look at Aiden.
Immediately, his eyes fell on Ben who kept bowing and crying for forgiveness.
"I've told you. You must cry someday!"
There was a hint of cynicism in his voice, which made Ben lie stiff on the ground and cover his head.
In the beginning, he only dared to mistreat Jack because of his Aiden's strength. He thought Jack was just a stray dog who would never amount to anything more.
But he didn't expect that the people behind Jack were so powerful that even Aiden would not dare to provoke.
If he could redo everything, he would definitely not provoke Jack.
Boom!
Jack got up, raised his foot and kicked Ben, "I will keep to my word; if I wanted to make you cry for an entire day, you will be crying for an entire day. From now on, if you dare to make trouble again, I will get you out of the world."
Jack was not weak. Over the past three years, for the sake of his mother's treatment, he had swallowed his pride to act as Ben's scapegoat. That's why Ben made Jack save his ass again and again.
After the acquisition of DT, Ben went on a blind date with Katherine and attempted to mistreat her. In Jack's opinion, this was a direct insult to him.
After being retaliated by Jack, Ben pulled strings on the reconstruction project of West Shantytowns. All of these events led to the scene tonight.
On behalf of Aiden, Jack could let Ben go, but if something similar happened again, Jack would have no doubt that Mr. Ward could easily make Ben "vanish" without a trace. Hearing this, Aiden was stunned.
Ben was even more shocked with his heart beating wildly.
There was a glimmer in Mr. Ward's eyes, as he looked on Jack with admiration and surprise.
Any person with talent could indeed rise to the top.
But if that person was indecisive, even if he was talented, he would be bound by his character.
In his eyes, Jack is the heir and the future leader of the family.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Everyone in the family was like a hungry pack of wolves and sly jackals.
If Jack was not that aggressive and ambitious, even if he became heir to the family through outstanding achievements, he would be bullied to death by the big family.
And just now, Jack has demonstrated he had the courage that the heir should have!
"Definitely, Jack, don't worry. I will strictly discipline Ben. If he made such mistake again, I will do it myself," Aiden hurriedly smiled and agreed. With Jack's words, he felt in relief. "Well, Aiden, thank you for tonight. We are going now," Jack smiled slightly and left with Mr. Ward.
The Rolls-Royce left the Tyson Hotel.
In the car, Jack said to the driver, "Take me to LJ Hospital."
Mr. Ward finally couldn't help praising Jack, "Master, I truly admire your decisiveness just now."
Jack indifferently looked out the car window as the night scene flew by quickly.
He suddenly laughed and looked at Mr. Ward, "No matter who it is, he will quickly learn to be decisive when raised under the constant scolding of wild animals."
Although he was smiling, his smile was extremely bitter, and his eyes were extremely gloomy.
Mr. Ward's smile froze. He understood what Jack meant.
The term "wild animals" implied a lot. It was the accumulated experience of the young master from birth to now, and it also included his strong resentment towards the old master. Taking a deep breath, Mr. Ward said sadly, "Young master, truth be told. The old master had no choice but to do so. All these years, he felt deeply regret for you and your mother. He..." Jack raised a finger to interrupt him.
"
"I don't want to hear any excuses. Everyone in the world suffers a lot, but by abandoning his family and children, does he think a mere few billion dollars are enough to compensate? Does he think raising me to become his heir is enough to make up for his sins? He treats his own kin and blood like a transaction. I am just a bastard to take over the family to complete this transaction."
Mr. Ward shook his head as he heard this. It made him upset as though his heart was stabbed with a knife.
