CHAPTER 67: CHAPTER 67: ROBBERY IS AGAINST THE LAW

"Yes, as long as you convince July Quinn to drop the lawsuit, the five million is yours. It’s that simple!"

Kyle Keaton’s tone was somewhat odd, but Nathan Jacobs still believed he simply thought the task was unbelievably easy.

Think about it, as an assistant, he works tirelessly every day for the Caelan Sea project, and at most, he probably earns about five million a year.

Now, if he persuades July Quinn to drop the lawsuit, he could earn five million easily, Kyle Keaton should be tempted.

As for why Nathan Jacobs didn’t seek a settlement with July Quinn, isn’t it because...

July Quinn has also blocked him!

And July Quinn has moved out of The Quinn Family’s house; they don’t know where she lives now.

"Five hundred million." Kyle Keaton merely raised an eyebrow, seemingly indifferent, as if the "five hundred million" he mentioned was worth just a few cents.

"What?" Nathan Jacobs was a bit confused.

"Five hundred million, and I’ll persuade her once. Whether she listens or not, it’s up to her."

After all, it’s July Quinn who was being harassed online, and in Kyle Keaton’s view, no one has the right to forgive the instigator on her behalf.

Of course, if Nathan Jacobs added a bit more incentive, Kyle Keaton might bring out the prized County Immortal Flower as a trade for dropping the lawsuit, and reach an agreement with July Quinn.

But as soon as Kyle Keaton finished speaking, Nathan Jacobs lashed out, "Five hundred million? Why don’t you go and rob it?"

Just persuading, without being able to guarantee the lawsuit will be dropped, and he demands five hundred million?

Does he think his family runs a bank?

The key is, not only does his family not run a bank, but he’s currently suspended from work and has no income.

Plus, he’s used to spending money lavishly, and he has almost no savings.

If it weren’t for wanting to avoid a scandal and being laughed at by other family members, Nathan Jacobs wouldn’t want to dish out these five million.

But little did he expect, after struggling to come up with five million, he’d still be mocked.

Nathan Jacobs’ anger was almost tangible, but Kyle Keaton remained calm, "Robbery is illegal."

"If you don’t want to help, just say it directly."

Nathan Jacobs gritted his teeth.

Unexpectedly, Kyle Keaton agreed frankly, "Hmm, I really don’t want to help."

Originally, he thought that July Quinn’s ex-boyfriend had found him, and like some cliched drama, might throw money at him to stay away from July Quinn.

Who knew, it was to make July Quinn drop the lawsuit?

Although Kyle Keaton found July Quinn’s back-and-forth tiring, he despised this heartless jerk even more.

However, this answer obviously angered Nathan Jacobs.

Nathan Jacobs gritted his teeth, with an ugly face, completely losing the image of the handsome gentleman who was once known as Westmarch’s finest.

"Kyle Keaton, you think that by staying in the Caelan Sea project, you’re above me? Let me tell you, the moment I return to The Jacobs Group, the first thing I’ll do is kick you out. See if you can still act so tough in front of me then!"

Indeed, he’s currently suspended, but in the past few days, his parents have already taken the matter to the old man.

Soon, his uncle will "invite" him back to the company.

He swears, the day he returns to the company, not only will he kick Kyle Keaton out of the Caelan Sea project, he’ll also boot him from the company, ruin his reputation, and make sure no one in Westmarch dares to hire him.

But Nathan Jacobs’ confident threats didn’t change Kyle Keaton’s indifferent expression.

As if his threats held no power at all in Kyle Keaton’s eyes.

"Feel free to try, if you succeed, I lose. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back to work."

Ugh, dealing with a jerk, it’s sickening.

After Kyle Keaton finished speaking, he didn’t even look at Nathan Jacobs again and simply left.

Seeing Kyle Keaton leave, Nathan Jacobs was furious.

"Damn it, truly arrogant!"

No one had ever dared to humiliate Nathan Jacobs like this, never!

But this guy had stepped on his face again and again.

Not only had he gotten him suspended, but now he might end up with a lawsuit against him.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Nathan Jacobs simply dialed a number.

"Hey, I need you to teach someone a lesson..."

Speaking on the phone, Nathan Jacobs’ lips curved into a cold, malevolent smile.

Dare to steal his woman, cost him his job, and now burden him with a lawsuit?

Good!

He must teach him a lesson.

Today, Kyle Keaton clocked out and was preparing to leave The Jacobs Group.

But as soon as he reached the underground parking lot, he sensed something was off.

Behind him, there were quite a few footsteps.

Turning around, Kyle Keaton saw several burly men following him.

Unlike the white-collar workers commonly seen in The Jacobs Group, each of them had tattoos.

Just one look and Kyle Keaton knew the situation was bad.

There’s a high chance he’s been targeted.

He quickly sped up his pace.

But those men were prepared, and how could they let him escape?

So, they all rushed towards Kyle Keaton, ready to assault him...
