Upon hearing this, Credence faintly looked up his long and narrow eyes, as he stared at Jeremy, who was sitting lazily on the opposite sofa. He looked at him calmly and smiled. “Tell me, what is it?”
After that, he looked down at the mobile phone in his palm and saw a text message from Marvin. His eyes were extremely calm.
Marvin warned him not to agree too quickly to any of Jeremy’s excessive requests. This man was as cunning and as evil as a wolf, he did not even bat an eye to the disgusting amount of money he had in stocks. There was no doubt that he would take this opportunity to make an outlandish demand.
The word “outlandish” was a perfect word to describe Jeremy.
However, what would happen to Belle and Dorothy if he didn’t agree?
Credence breathed a sigh of relief. His entire body tensed up for a moment. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Jeremy, who was smiling lazily with his legs crossed on the table. He waited for him to speak.
“My condition is very simple.”
Jeremy smiled and threw a peanut into his mouth. He chewed it slowly. His eyes were full of malice. “Credence, kneel down and beg. Beg me to go to the hospital to do a bone marrow test for Belle.”
Wilson, who was standing behind Jeremy, came up and smiled brightly, “Yes, that’s right. Mr. Scott, as long as you kneel down and smash your head on the floor three times, then we’ll help you.”
Holy sh*t, this time, the CEO of the Scott Group was really going to kneel down to his boss. He felt elated after hearing that.
He thought of the wonderful scene that was about to unfold. Wilson was so excited that he wanted to share it with his friends after recording it. He was going to make them all feel jealous.
“You want me to kneel down and beg?” Credence laughed out of anger. He stared sharply at Jeremy, who was smiling evilly. There wasn’t a trace of warmth in his eyes at all.
“That’s right! Kneel down before me, and I might consider saving your daughter’s life. This is a steal for you,” Jeremy said lightly.
Credence’s face darkened. “Mr. Sherman, don’t go too far. You should be more generous, it will help you in the future.”
“I am not the one going too far, you are. You think that your measly dignity is more important than your daughter’s life.” Jeremy looked at the stone-faced Credence and smiled. He sneered, “Mr. Scott, you only have one chance, don’t you want it? Okay, fine, I’ll leave. Next time you call me, I won’t even bat an eye at your stupid family affairs. Besides, what does your daughter’s life have to do with me anyway?”
“Jeremy, don’t go too far!” Credence’s eyes suddenly turned cold, he stretched his lips until it turned into a straight line.
Jeremy tilted his head and lazily lit his cigar. After taking a few hearty puffs, he let out an extremely lazy laughter. “Don’t try to drag me into this just because I am related to Dorothy. Credence, I’m telling you, I don’t have time to associate with you or with any of this bullsh*t family business. If you aren’t going to kneel down to me, then I’ll be leaving.”
After that, Jeremy stood up from the sofa and slowly walked towards the door.
“Boss, wait for me!” Wilson shouted and followed him happily from behind.
Credence looked at Jeremy with angry eyes. Jeremy walked out and slouched lazily. He was extremely ruthless and vicious.
His heart was as venomous as a snake, he was an ungrateful person as well.
This was how the outside world judged Jeremy!
Three years ago, the owner of a company had offended him for some unknown reason. Without any warning, he immediately arranged for his men to destroy his company and crippled the owner. He also sent his wife and children to the underground prostitution circles where they would never be able to escape.
As for his perverted behavior of using a whip to torment women, if he hadn’t tortured Germaine, no one would have known about his weird obsessions.
It was no surprise that such a cruel and cold-blooded man wanted Credence to kneel down to him.
Credence slowly closed his lips. He crushed the cigarette between his fingers and violently flicked it towards the leather suitcase. He raised his eyes and stared at the door. When Jeremy was about to step out of the room, he finally stopped him. “Mr. Sherman, wait a minute. Let’s talk about this.”
Credence called him twice, but he was completely ignored. Jeremy continued walking until Wilson poked his iron-like back. Only then did Jeremy turn around under the dim light. He cursed, “F*ck! Credence, if you keep bothering me, I’ll have your body chopped up to bits, you hear me?”
His attitude was extremely arrogant.
Compared to Jeremy’s sinister look, Credence’s face was extremely glum.
He had dominated the business world for nearly sixteen years, when had he ever been humiliated like this? When did he become so sullen?
However, for his daughter, for his beloved Belle…
No matter how cowardly he was, he had to endure it and swallow his rage and anger.
Seeing Jeremy’s arrogant attitude, Credence could only suppress the anger in his heart and speak humbly. He only said two simple words, but it was sonorous and forceful.
Credence said, “I’ll kneel!”
Jeremy scratched his left ear and raised his eyebrows. He smiled and said lazily, “Ha, since you insist, I’ll accept your offer.”
Wilson sat next to him and muttered.
“D*mn, Boss is getting better and better at talking all proper like.”
Credence didn’t have time to care about how arrogant and disdainful Jeremy was. He knew all too well that if he didn’t kneel down to this crazy maniac, he would never be able to help his daughter.
If he knelt, there would be a small chance for him to save his precious daughter’s life. He was willing to bet on it!
Credence closed his eyes. He pinched his cigarette butt with his fingers and said, “Stop wasting time, let’s do it.”
Jeremy turned around with a cigar in his mouth and wandered back into the room. He pointed at Wilson and smiled. “Keep an eye on his hand gestures and angles. Take the best photos you can, I want to keep this in my collection.”
With such a humiliating video in his hands, he would be able to torture Credence to death.
Credence immediately understood Jeremy’s intentions. He narrowed his eyes coldly and smiled ferociously, but he didn’t say anything. He watched Jeremy slowly walk towards him, and his eyes were filled with mockery. “I’m here, go on, kneel down!”
Upon hearing this, Credence remained calm. He threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and slowly stood up from the sofa. As he stood up, he struggled to maintain his balance as dragged his plastered legs along. A dull stinging pain caused him to wince. Soon after, he raised his hand and gently smoothed out the slight creases on his black suit. He looked up proudly and was about to kneel down…
Just then, outside of the room, sounds of hurried and chaotic footsteps could be heard. It was mixed with the angry yell of a man.
“Credence, Jonathan called, you have to answer this call! D*mn it, good thing this phone call came in time.”
After the fierce shout which carried an indescribable joy entered Credence’s ears, it caused him to freeze on the spot for a moment. After that, he quickly straightened his legs and stood up!
