Chapter 909
Mr. Ritter felt like he had just been drenched in ice-cold water, his eyes fixed on his phone in disbelief. What was he going to do?
Endless panic and fear swept over him.
Jasper watched Mr. Ritter''s reaction closely, a cold smirk on his face. "What''s wrong? Did your backer abandon you?" Mr. Ritter
was surprised - how did Jasper know about that?
But he refused to admit it and tried to sound confident as he replied, "What are you talking about? | don''t understand."
Jasper rolled his eyes impatiently. "Who is behind you? My boss knows everything. Do you really think we''re clueless?"
He continued with a threatening tone, "You better take down all of your articles ndering Mr. Maskelyne and Miss Andrews
immediately! And those videos too! Then publicly apologize for everything and say it was all a misunderstanding."
Mr. Ritter shook his head frantically, "No way!"
He knew if he helped Franklin with this scheme, Mrs. Ritter would be furious with him; the consequences would be dire.
"Impossible?" Jasper chuckled softly before signaling for several ck-d men to surround Mr. Ritter.
One man held a knife against his neck while another pressed one against his face; they pinned him tightly against the wall like
an insect specimen mounted for disy.
“How about we try something else then?" Jasper pulled out a knife from nowhere as well.
Just then, one of the ck-d men picked up an orange from the fruit tray on the office table and ced it on top of Mr. Ritter''s
head.
Jasper grinned mischievously at him, "Let''s see if | can hit this orange!"
Mr. Ritter turned pale as sweat dripped down from every pore; fear consumed himpletely when Jasper threw the knife
towards him!
"No! No!" He screamed hysterically with closed eyes while covering himself up but suddenly heard a loud thud instead of feeling
any pain or blood gushing out!
The de had pierced through the orange cleanly without harming even one hair strand of poor trembling man standing there
petrified!
A few drops of juice sttered onto Mr. Ritters'' face, making it look even more pathetic than before...
He looked like he had just been pulled out of a pond, drenched in sweat.
He gasped for air, still alive... he hadn''t died.
His eyes were unfocused as he looked at Jasper. When Jasper raised the knife again to throw it at him, he weakly cried out,
“Whatever you say is true..."ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
"I''ll rify everything soon. Don''t throw the knife again, I''m scared..." He was so scared that he almost wet his pants and his legs
were shaking uncontrobly. He couldn''t bear this mental torture any longer.
"If you had just listened to me earlier and behaved yourself, you wouldn''t have suffered like this." Jasper elegantly handed the
knife to a man in ck beside him and wiped his hands with a handkerchief.
He sneered at Mr. Ritter with disdainful eyes. "Also, don''t try to get back that hundred thousand dors from their parents; they''ve
already suffered enough."
"What?" Mr. Ritter was stunned. "I can''t get it back? They didn''t help me achieve anything... why should I..."
“Because | can take your life anytime," Jasper smiled gently but menacingly at him. "It''s either your life or the money; choose
one.
“My life! My life! Don''t worry; | won''t ask them for that hundred thousand dors anymore!" Mr. Ritter felt like he had been
tortured beyond words.
The rification tweet was quickly sent out by Morningbreeze website official Twitter ount. It was all a misunderstanding
caused by overzealous parents who spoke too harshly about Franklin and Sylvia''s reputation damage issue; apologies are
offered on behalf of everyone involved.
After this tweet went viral on social media tforms such as Starchaser Daily News and Starchaser Evening News also shared
it.
The scandalous 18 hikers incident came to an end immediately after that tweet went online.
The most confused people were the parents. "Is it over now? We don''t have to memorize our lines anymore?"
"| guess not."
“What about our remaining hundred thousand dors? Will we still get them?"
"| don''t know!"
Just as they were feeling lost and bewildered, Mr. Ritter rushed towards them with an assistant carrying a bag in tow before
stopping right in front of these parents’ group.
They stared at Mr. Ritter incredulously because normally speaking, Mr. Ritter would be dressed up impably wearing designer
suits while sporting expensive watches without even having dust on his shoes but now... Mr. Ritter looked disheveled from head-
to-toe with sweat pouring down his face .
"This is the remaining one hundred thousand dors, each person gets a share. After you receive it, | hope that everyone will not
mention anything about what happened these past few days. This matter is over."
Mr. Ritter''s assistant began handing out the money to everyone and once he finished, Mr. Ritter had a serious look on his face.
"| hope that everyone keeps their mouths shut from now on. We are even and have no further obligations to each other."
He didn''t want anything more to do with this situation or else Franklin would send people after him again and make his life
miserable.
Especially after this incident, he realized that it was better for him to cut ties early and run away than be Mrs. Ritter''sckey.
Mrs. Ritter would definitely not let him go easily; he had already settled all of his assets and called his wife and children telling
them to meet him at the airport as soon as possible.
After giving out the money, he immediately got on a ne and left H Rovirsa behind.
Anyway, with all the money he earned from this job, he wouldn''t have any worries about food or drink for the rest of his life.
As for managing Morningbreeze website, whoever wanted to manage it could manage it because Mr. Ritter was done with it all
now.
Nothing was more important than staying alive.
They should leave without going against their conscience by working for Franklin or Sylvia anymore; parents would be happy
almost enough to cheer when they heard about it.
As they were leaving through the door, Mr. Ritter stopped them in their tracks. "And don''t tell your children either! Mr. Maskelyne
said that since this world is so ugly, we should leave some beauty behind for our kids!"
The parents turned around in shock while Mauricio''s mother asked confusedly, "What does this have to do with Franklin?"
“If it wasn''t for Franklin, why would | publicly apologize?" Mr. Ritter felt like since he was leaving anyway might as well tell them
everything, "Franklin didn''t want me exposing you guys being bought off by me, which isn''t good publicity, so as not to affect your
children''s future prospects.”
The parents looked at each other in disbelief, "Is this true?"
“We treated him like that but he didn''t revenge on us?"
"He..."
The parents lowered their heads feeling deeply ashamed; they regretted what they did.
They felt too shameless selling themselves out along with their sons'' futures just because of some money.
“Alright, you guys better leave now. | have powerful connections behind me and | can''t afford to mess with them. We''ll meet
again someday." Mr. Ritter said before quickly walking towards the door.
However, as soon as he reached the doorway, a group of men in ck rushed towards him and started punching and kicking him
relentlessly until hey on the ground holding his head tightly.
But this time, he didn’t scream out in pain.
Because he heard the distinct sound
of high heels clicking on the floor and
saw a pair of whitgbigh eels appear
berareninn a voice full of disdain
spoke from above him. "This is
outrageous! How dare you betray
mel!" Please read the original content

Blood dripped from Mr. Ritter''s forehead into his eyes but instead of getting angry, heughed.
"My dear sister-inw, you''re so good to me! When Franklin came after me, you abandoned me but now you me me for
betraying you? We''re just using each other.”
Mrs. Ritter pped him across his face with a loud smack. "You useless piece of trash! What do we have to fear from someone
like Franklin?"
"If there''s nothing to fear, then why
didn''t youe earlier? Why did it
take my leaving for yeulig shows?
Arg your thébats Shly effective when
someone has my back?" Mr. Ritter
sneered at her sarcastically while
wiping blood off his hand which was
covered in red stains. Please read the

The parents who had been hiding near the door all along couldn''t help but watch this terrifying scene unfold before their eyes.
Mauricio''s mother whispered softly. "Although Mr. Ritter threatened us earlier on, we can''t just stand by idly after receiving two
hundred thousand dors."
“I''ll call the police."
"I''ll record video evidence."
Mrs. Ritter overheard their whispers at the door but couldn''t make out what they were saying clearly.
"Who are these people?" She asked coldly while her henchmen charged forward like madmen and dragged these parents
outside one by one.
Looking at them, Mrs. Ritter sneered. "Look at these losers - they''re all poor as dirt and disgusting to look at; get lost!"
The parents heard her words and
quickly ran towards the elevator
button, trying desperately to escape
this situation; however fight weit |

"Mrs. Ritter, pleasee with us," said the lead police officer. He and Mr. Ritter were neighbors and had a bit of a rtionship.
Upon seeing Mr. Ritter covered in blood from being beaten, the officer became angry. "ording to regtions, those who
engage in group fights will be punished. Let''s go!"
"Do you know who | am? How dare youe over here and arrest me?" Mrs. Ritter was so angry that smoke seemed to be
coming out of her head.
"You broke thew, so it''s necessary for you toe with me," replied the police officer with a smile on his face.
"Do you want your subordinates to attack the police?"
Mrs. Ritter''s face turned as red as liver when she heard this remark; she was furious and gritted her teeth tightly.
“Fine! You all just wait for me!" She stormed off in frustration while stomping on her high heels.
The police helped Mr. Ritter up and walked towards the elevator together."
