Chapter 256

Gregory and Barry couldn’t help but think at the same time, ‘Where did Ms. Jensen find this bodyguard with such a smart mouth?

Mark caught their expressions and bluntly asked, “Judging by your faces, you two aren’t happy with what I said, huh?”

Obviously! Barry grumbled inwardly.

But since they barely knew Mark, Barry kept his tone polite. “Of course not. We respect everyone’s opinion.”

“Even if you do have an opinion, it doesn’t matter,” Mark said, clearly indifferent. The only people he answered to were Madam Jensen and Ms. Jensen, the ones who signed his paycheck. “They’re divorced now, so you’ll just have to swallow whatever complaints you have.”

Barry gave Gregory a silent look that said, ‘Man, why is this guy so obnoxious?‘

Gregory’s expression said, ‘Seriously!

Barry cracked his knuckles and muttered under his breath, “Can I punch him?”

Gregory hadn’t even opened his mouth when Mark overheard and shot back, “Go ahead.”

Barry stared at him, baffled.

Gregory was just as baffled.

“But you’d never beat me,” Mark said, giving Barry a quick once–over. It wasn’t about hurting him–it was pure disrespect. “Three moves, and you’d be flat on your back.”

“Oh, please. I don’t believe that for a second,” Barry shot back, rolling up his sleeves. His pride wouldn’t let him take that lying down. “Go on, I’ll let you have the first three moves…”

“Knock it off. Mr. Hanson and Ms. Jensen are about to come out,” Gregory said, stepping in to stop him.

Barry’s bravado fizzled instantly.

If Mr. Hanson saw him getting into it with Ms. Jensen’s bodyguard, Barry knew he’d be the one catching hell.

While they were all talking, Rebecca and Jeffrey stepped outside after finishing the paperwork, each holding a little red divorce certificate.

“You can go ahead and reset the security system and change the access codes at Rebecca’s Manor,” Jeffrey said, pausing to make sure she heard him clearly. “I’ve already spoken to Victor–it’s all yours now. From today on, you’re the sole owner.”

Rebecca replied flatly, “Mm.”

Jeffrey hesitated, the words catching in his throat.
