Jacob’s eyes flashed, only to see the other man smile even more.
Zach Stone raised his glass and clinked it straight, “Jacob, you should know Logan Brown’s nature, he’d kill me if he knew I was hiding it from him. So, you’ll have to keep my secret, and …… cooperate with me on the Mason Bush investigation.”
“……”
Jacob suddenly fell silent and Zach Stone’s movements froze in mid-air, not for anything else but the murderous aura he could clearly feel coming from the back of his head, almost making him want to fold ……
“This ……” Zach Stone looked at Jacob in front of him with tears in his eyes, “it can’t really be what I think it is, can it?”
Jacob put down his glass and stood up straight, then hung his head slightly, “Sir.”
“Oooh ……”
Now Zach Stone’s heart wanted to cry even more, how unlucky he was.
The man stood silently behind him, a dark shadow loomed down like a demon, without a trace of warmth the words slowly spat out, “Zach Stone, Did you hide the Mason Bush thing from me?”
“This ……” Zach Stone jerked up and turned his head with a smile on his face, “No, let me explain.”
“Explain?” The man pressed a few inches closer.
Zach Stone kept ducking back, laughing as he shook his head, “Logan Brown, calm down, we can talk about anything, can’t we.”
Logan Brown hooked his lips in a smile that almost made his heart tingle with it, his arms and legs go cold.
“Brother, you, be normal, let’s be serious at this point and not laugh?” Zach Stone was almost in tears, the more the man in front of him laughed the more scared he became.
Logan Brown glanced at him and then slowly settled down in the booth, his already cold face even colder now, making it impossible to approach or even look directly at him.
“Jacob, tell me everything that Zach Stone said to you!” The man’s order could not be questioned.
Jacob hesitated for a moment, then just had to tell me everything.
By the end of the sentence, Zach Stone was practically covering his face, afraid to look at the angry face of Logan Brown in front of him.
Zach Stone looked at him through his fingertipped eyes and cautiously asked, “Why are you up in the middle of the night, aren’t you asleep?”
The latter raised his eyes, “Unfortunately, there was too much movement and I woke up.”
“……”
Zach Stone nuzzled and sat down dutifully, “OK, now you know, tell me, what are you going to do?”
“What else can I do if I don’t know anything?”
Zach Stone was stunned, “So, you’re going to leave it to us?”
“Hmm.”
“You, you said so!” Zach Stone let out a long breath and laughed, “It doesn’t make any difference if you know or not, besides, we just don’t want you to get too hung up on it.”
As soon as the words left his mouth, the man swept a stern light across his face and said, “If it wasn’t for that, I’m afraid you’d have been killed a million times over!”
Zach Stone shivered as he imagined that image, and his smile deepened, “Come on, we’re all brothers, we can still talk about things, right?”
Logan Brown grunted, “Good to know, this is just an exception, if it happens again, don’t blame me!”
“Yes, sir!” said Zach Stone, straightening his back in a serious manner.
Logan Brown slammed his fist directly into his shoulder, “Don’t you dare pretend.”
The punch was so light that Zach Stone covered his arm and almost felt his chest ache, but when his eyes fell on the man’s cold, unfeeling face, he retracted his words and acquiesced in silence.
Logan Brown took one look at the two men, then at the glasses in front of them, and after a moment’s silence said, “Enjoy your drinks, I’ll leave you to it.”
“No, I’ll go back with the gentleman.”
“No need.”
Logan Brown waved his hand, “I’m just going back to rest, I’ve had a couple of drinks and my head hurts a bit, no need to follow me.”
“I’ll get a valet then.” Jacob said, already on his own, going to contact someone.
Logan Brown had to sit back down, a sharp pain in his head, and he wondered if it was the overwhelming amount of things that had been going on lately that had knocked him out for a moment.
Zach Stone glanced at his angry face with some concern and asked after him uneasily, “Are you okay?”
“Yeah.”
“But you don’t look fine like that.” Zach Stone lifted his hand and touched his forehead, but saw that the temperature was normal and there was nothing out of the ordinary.
Logan Brown pulled his hand down with a grimace, “Don’t worry about it, it’s just the alcohol and a little tiredness.”
Zach Stone looked at him closely for a moment and was relieved to see that he was fine.
He patted him on the shoulder and said, “Logan Brown, don’t worry, just for my godson’s sake, I’ll keep you two together.”
Besides, he didn’t believe there was anything he couldn’t do, the Logan Brown he knew was bold and resilient, and never one to admit defeat!
“Thanks.”
” what?”
A whisper floated past his ears causing him to stammer and stutter for a moment.
Zach Stone pinched his face hard until he could feel the pain before he let go, “Logan Brown, that thank you just now, that was you, wasn’t it?”
“No.” The man denied it without thinking, looking as if he hadn’t said anything at all.
But Zach Stone thought he had a good ear, and he never misheard anything. He immediately took him by the shoulders and waved his hand with a smile, “Look at you, we’re not saying thank you, we’re both brothers, we should.”
“……”
Logan Brown turned his head and gave him a cold, threatening look, “You say one more word and I’ll make sure you never speak again!”
Zach Stone subconsciously and immediately covered his lips with a horrified look on his face.
Jacob appeared just in time to glance at the duo on the table, “Sir, the car is ready, you can go back now.”
“Hmm.”
Logan Brown pushed Zach Stone’s hand away and got up to stride away.
Jacob looked at Logan Brown whose back was a little cold and couldn’t help but tighten his brow, “Did you just say something to Sir, Mr Stone?”
“Said it.” Zach Stone admitted with a flourish, unable to stop laughing at the thought of his squirmy appearance, “It’s just that his proud nature still hasn’t changed.”
But it’s good that he knows exactly what’s on his mind, and sometimes there’s no need to be too blunt, not to mention that it’s Logan Brown, after all.
