Chapter 162
Raymond merely scoffed, “Hmph! Be my guest. I have nothing to fear.”
Leyton floundered when he realized his threats fell on deaf ears.
Just then, an eavesdropping Jeffrey ran into the office and declined for Raymond. “Mr. Green, I believe
that the Scott family is still our best choice when ites to manufacturing or sales. Signing a deal with
them would maximize our profits as well.”
The Scott family had bribed Jeffery to help them secure a deal with Cosmic Chemical. If the deal fell
through, he would have to return the bribe and potentially face Leyton''s wrath.
His advice angered Raymond, who bellowed, “Jeffrey, why are you butting your head into this contract
business?
You''re just an office administrator, and you don''t have a say in these deals!”
His loud reprimand startled Jeffrey into silence, and thetter moved aside quietly.
“Did you take money from the Scotts? Why are you pushing so hard for Mr. Green to sign a deal with
them?” Jared asked Jeffrey directly.
Jeffrey sputtered angrily, “What the h*ll are you saying? No one took anyone''s money! I think you have
poor character, and I''ve always believed an employee''s character is a reflection of theirpany
values.”
Raymond, on the other hand, broke out in a cold sweat.
He was aware of Jared''s identity, and he could not believe Jeffrey had the gall to insult Jared to his
face.
Does he have some sort of death wish? While I''m busy worrying if Jared is pleased with our service,
my ipetent subordinate barged in to insult him and ruin my efforts!
He gave Jeffrey a kick behind his knees and seethed. “Shut it. How could you speak to Mr. Chance like
that? Get on your knees now!”
bbergasted, Jeffrey looked at his boss in disbelief and stammered, “M-Mr. Green, he''s just a

salesman. W-What are you doing?” “Shut up! Just get on your knees. Did I not make myself clear?” He
added another fierce kick for good measure, even as he was shocked out of his wits at the
consequences of Jeffrey''s blind rudeness.
If Jared''s angry with us, Tommy, Walter, or the Sullivan family could easily ruin thispany in a
heartbeat!
As Jeffrey fell to his knees with a thud, Raymond apologized profusely to Jared, “Mr. Chance, I
should''ve educated my subordinates better. His behavior was uneptable, and I''ll fire him right away.
As for any potential bribery, I''ll have it investigated as soon as possible.”
His courteous behavior toward Jared pissed Leyton off, and in a fit of anger, he snarled, “Raymond,
what''s wrong with you? Jared is just an ex-convict. Why are you worshipping him like some hero? I
can''t believe you''re the CEO of a bigpany.
It''s freaking embarrassing.”
Raymond eyed him coldly without further exnation. If he''s unaware of Jared''s capabilities, he can
have fun digging a deeper grave for himself. The Scotts won''t be around for much longer if this goes
on.
While the Scott family was powerful, they did not stand a chance against thebined might of
Tommy, Walter, and the Sullivan family.
“Mr. Green, let''s sign the contract. In peace, if you will,” came Jared’s simple request.
“Of course!” Raymond turned to Eliza and ordered, “Send them away. If they refuse to leave, call for
security.”
Eliza nodded in acknowledgment before turning to Leyton. “Mr. Scott, this way, please.”
Leyton red at Raymond in obvious displeasure, yet refusing to leave the premises would only make
his eventual exit more humiliating. Reluctantly, he dragged Sandy with him as he strode toward the
doors. Before he left, he whirled around and warned, “You better watch out, Raymond. I''ll make you
regret this in more ways than you could ever imagine.”
After their departure, Raymond turned his attention to a kneeling Jeffrey and barked,
Get lost! I''ll deal with youter!
