Chapter 71


    The men and women at the scene had opposite stances.


    Those men, who sympathized with Harold, looked at Brittany disdainfully. As for the women, who were


    on Brittany''s side, they looked down on Harold, the pauper.


    Brittany was on the verge of exploding with rage when the onlookers'' words fell on her ears.


    Conversely, Harold turned toward his supporters and nodded thankfully at them.


    It was also then that Jon was done buying the movie tickets and emerged from the crowd.


    “What''s wrong, Brittany? Who is this?” Jon asked while looking at Harold''s side profile.


    Harold turned around again upon hearing Jon''s voice. Simrly, he nced at Jon, too.


    Harold furrowed his thick eyebrows as soon as Jon came into his sight.


    Judging from his paleplexion, he must have been leading a life of debauchery. Why would Brittany


    find herself a man like him?


    With just a nce, Harold had already figured Jon out.


    Standing right next to Brittany, Jon was frowning at Harold, too.


    He felt that Harold looked oddly familiar. It was as though he had met Harold before.


    In the meantime, Brittany was oblivious to both Harold and Jon''s expressions. She raised her head


    arrogantly upon hearing Jon''s words.


    “Look carefully, Harold. This is my current boyfriend, Jon. He''s the son of the Sullivan family, one of the


    most prominent families in Dellmoor. You''d better stop clinging to me! Otherwise, don''t me me if


    someone breaks all your limbs one day! Take this as a reminder. Nheless, if you get to your knees


    and beg him for mercy now, he''ll let you off today!”


    Although Brittany had always used to act haughtily in front of Harold in the past, thetter was


    momentarily stunned when he heard what she had said.


    She wants me to get to my knees in front of everyone and beg for her boyfriend''s forgiveness? I can''t


    believe she''d take things this far just to give me a warning.


    Meanwhile, a thought shed across Jon''s mind when he heard the words “get to your knees.”


    It was then that he finally knew why Harold seemed rather familiar.


    Gosh! Isn''t he the young man who scared Craig out of his wits? Craig got to his knees and prostrated


    himself on the floor to beg for his mercy in the video!


    As these thoughts swirled in Jon''s mind, his entire body trembled involuntarily.


    How unexpected! The man who got the Underground King of Dellmoor, Craig McGowan, to kneel and


    bow down before him is Brittany''s ex? But that''s Craig McGowan, one of the three most powerful


    figures of Dellmoor! Hmm... Perhaps this man is also the one who helped Brittany settle her family


    affairs. Jeez, why am I so unlucky? Dad even specifically reminded me not to offend such a big shot


    last night.


    At that moment, Jon recalled that his father instructed him to get out of the way whenever he saw the


    big shot from afar.


    s, he bumped into Harold on this day, not to mention that it seemed like he had offended Harold


    unknowingly as well.

    As he was thinking of that, Jon noticed that all of Harold''s attention was focused on Brittany. Hence, he


    thought he could flee the scene.


    “Get down on your knees now!” Brittany snapped when she noticed that Harold did not show any


    intention to kneel and plead for forgiveness. He simply continued gazing at her.


    As soon as she said that, before Harold even moved, Jon was so frightened that he fell on his knees.


    Thud!


    Everyone at the scene burst intoughter upon witnessing Jon''s reaction.


    Haha! Does this guy kneel before his girlfriend so often that it became a natural reflex?


    Brittany was as puzzled as the onlookers.


    “Jon, what are you doing? I was asking Harold to get down to his knees and beg for your mercy. Why


    are you kneeling before me instead?” Brittany asked, intending to help Jon up.


    However, thetter ignored Brittany. He scrambled toward Harold instead, much to the onlookers''


    shock.


    “Mr. Campbell, I-I had no idea that Brittany is your woman. I''m sorry for being ignorant, Mr. Campbell.


    It''s all my fault, but nothing has happened between us. I''ve never even held her hand before. I swear I''ll


    not see her again. Please, Mr. Campbell, please let me off! Please don''t hurt my family!” Jon pleaded.
