Chapter 976


    Lina’s expression darkened, and anger surged within her. She was about to say something when Zuko


    stepped forward and blocked her behind him. It momentarily stunned her.


    Zuko’s broad back shielded herpletely, preventing her from seeing Violet’s malicious smile or the


    wicked faces of the thugs. He was like a wall, isting her from the ugliness of the world.


    Lina’s heart warmed, and she wore a barely noticeable smile.


    Zuko’s voice turned cold. “Ms. Grist, if you have something to say, say it to me.”


    “Say it to you? Who do you think you are?” Violet crossed her arms and sneered. “It seems like you’re


    enjoying your newlywed life. You’re quite protective of her! Is this little b*tch skilled in bed to make you


    so devoted?”


    “Violet Grist, watch your mouth! You—”


    Before Lina could finish her sentence, Zuko pressed her head back behind him.


    Lina then lifted her little head from under Zuko’s arm on the other side. “Violet! You—”


    “Go back!” Zuko continued to press her like he was ying whack-a-mole.


    Regardless, he would not allow Lina to face this group of people alone.


    Violet pped her hands and sarcastically remarked how deeply in love the two of them were. She


    then signaled with her eyes, and immediately someone from the van unloaded boxes of drinks.


    Violet’s voice became sharp. “Lina Jenner, let me tell you some good news. Our Rose Dew from the


    Grist Group has been rebranded and runched! Hahaha! Are you disappointed? You reported us for


    such a long time, but we’re still making money! How many merchants are still on your side?”


    Lina bit her lip. Unfortunately, this “wall” in front of her was thick and solid, denying her any opportunity


    to curse at people.


    Violet was triumphantly pleased as she pulled out a procurement contract.


    It clearly stated that all beverages in Jazzy Mint supermarket were to be procured from the Grist Group


    for a period of 20 years.


    “Lina, this contract bears the signatures of your parents. You wouldn’t dare to default, would you?”


    Violet smiled cunningly. “I kindly brought these few boxes of goods for you. Sell them all within three


    days!”


    “You’re shameless!” Lina’s head emerged from under Zuko’s arm again. “This contract was signedst


    year, but it’s clearly an unfair use! You took advantage of my parents’ck of understanding and


    forced them to sign it!”


    Violet sneered. “Heh! The contract has been signed. Are you trying to back out? You little b*tch, be


    careful. I’ll sue you in court!”


    “Fine! I’d love to ask the judge why we merchants have to continue selling your products with quality


    issues!”


    “You!” Violet could not gain any advantage in the argument, so she ordered the thugs to smash the


    store!


    Since the day Lina started reporting the Grists, Violet had nned it out. This small supermarket was


    the only capital for Lina’s family’s survival. As long as she caused trouble every now and then, made


    things difficult for Lina at university, and prevented her family from doing business, she would love to


    see what else Lina could do against her.


    However, Lina not only dared to continue fighting against her, but she also seemed more aggressive


    than before. Violet gritted her teeth in anger.


    It was said that someone had started investigating the ounts of the Grist Group. All of this was


    thanks to that despicable girl!


    “What are you all standing there for?” Violet clenched her fists. Every word she spoke seemed to carry


    a nail. “Since they refuse to sell our products, I’ll ruin their store!”


    “Wait!” Zuko let out a low roar.


    His low, chilling voice was like a lion intimidating a pack of hyenas, leaving everyone stunned. The


    thugs all looked at each other, afraid to make a move.


    As Zuko’s icy gaze swept across the crowd, eventually fixing upon Violet, a shiver ran down her spine.


    However, she fought to maintain herposure.


    Zuko spoke slowly, enunciating each word. “Ms. Grist, how’s this contract written? Can I take a look?”


    “You?” Violet sneered.


    She held a deep-seated belief that he was nothing more than a truck driver,cking intelligence, relying


    on brute force, and with a history of criminal activities and time spent behind bars.


    “Zeke, can you read?” she asked mockingly.


    “Ms. Grist, are you testing me?” Zuko smirked. “If you want to know if I can read, give me the contract.


    I’ll read it line by line, and you’ll know, won’t you?”


    “Hahaha!” Violet and the thugs burst intoughter.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay

    He really was a big fool. He could not even tell that she was mocking him!


    The more it was like that, the more entertaining it became.


    Violet arrogantly handed him the contract. “I’m coincidentally in a good mood today. Go ahead and


    read it! I’m listening.”


    Zuko smiled and took the contract.


    There was a red stamp on thest page, meaning this was not a photocopy of the original document.


    Lina nced at him and pointed to a certain line—the contract consisted of two copies, with each party


    holding one copy. Photocopies had no legal effect.


    Zuko nodded and gave her a look.


    Lina immediately understood and whispered in his ear, “The other copy is at home.”


    “Good.” Zuko smirked.


    In fact, unfair agreements like this were easy to challenge. It would have no legal effect even if it were


    the original document.


    It was just that the other merchants had been enduring silently under the tyranny of the Grists, only


    seeking to live in peace.


    “Hey, are you going to read it or not?” Violet shook her head and teased Lina. “Lina, what did you tell


    him? Did you tell him how to read those words?”

    Zuko blocked Lina with his arm, pushing her behind him.


    In the split second, when no one reacted, he quickly tore the contract into pieces!


    “Zeke Hamerton!” Violet screamed, watching the shredded pieces of paper fall to the ground. Anger


    distorted her facial features.


    “What are you doing? You unterally breached the contract! I… I can sue you! I’ll sue you until you go


    bankrupt!” she barked.


    “Breach the contract?” Zuko raised an eyebrow. “What contract did I breach, Ms. Grist? Do you have


    any evidence?”


    “You breached the procurement contract just now! You—”


    “And where is the contract?” asked Zuko.


    Violet froze.


    The original contract had only two copies—one in Lina’s hands, and the other had just been torn to


    shreds by this man.


    Zuko sneered. “Ms. Grist, since this contract wasn’t signed through proper channels, there’s no need to


    terminate it through proper means. Proper ways should be reserved for proper people.”


    He turned to look at Lina. “Lina, am I right?”
