You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 24

The next morning, both Irene and Jordan went to the company with a bruise on their faces. They looked at each other and broke out in laughter. The atmosphere in the office was much better than before. Jordan took Irene to the nearest restaurant for lunch. It was a place that focused on Cantonese cuisine. Irene muttered to herself, "Jordan doesn't like Cantonese cuisine, does he? What's wrong with him today?" Before the two sat down, a voice rang out, "I was searching everywhere for you!"

Irene took a look and saw Randy, along with his two men, were staring at her and Jordan. Although Jordan had just arrived in San Fetillo, he had already known San Fetillo very well and recognized Randy at a glance. He sneered and said, "You missed the second half of that saying. And yet here we are!" "Teach this kid a lesson first!" Randy ordered his two bodyguards.

The two men rushed over. They thought it would be an easy fight, yet surprisingly, they were vanquished by Jordan in a few rounds.

Jordan dropped the two bodyguards on the

floor and lunged at Randy. Randy panicked and said, "Do you know who I am? My father is Keaton, head of City Construction. I will ruin you if you dare to touch me!"

The only response he got was a rain of fists. Randy was beaten black and blue. The waiter called the police, and they arrived soon.

They were taken to the police station together. Jordan had been calm the whole time. But Randy was used to being a pompous a*s and remained the same attitude in the police station. "Basta'd, wait for me to get out of here. I will kill you!"

John told Edric right away about the fight between Jordan and Randy and their visit to the police station. "Jordan's Executive Assistant had visited the Smith family earlier in the morning. Why did they get into a fight at noon? Doesn't he want to win the bid anymore?" Edric was stunned. "It can't be that simple. Keep an eye on it!"

Keaton rushed to the police station when he heard his son was beaten. He was astonished when he saw Jordan was the one who hit his son.

Jordan changed his attitude immediately after Keaton came. He apologized in a low voice and suggested compensation. Randy was over the moon when he saw Jordan acting like a coward.

Keaton was furious when he saw the bruises on his son's face. He determined that Jordan would never win the construction bid. But this thing was not over yet. He needed to get some money out of it. Not only would Jordan pay them a large sum of money, but he would also go back with nothing.

He hatched a plot to take revenge. That night, Jordan's Executive Assistant came to apologize sincerely and asked someone to move a few boxes in.

After John left, Keaton and his wife opened the boxes. The boxes were filled with money that amounted to millions of dollars.

It seemed that Jordan had done good research. He even knew that Keaton liked cash.

However, Jordan would certainly get nothing back. Keaton was determined that he wouldn't help Jordan with the construction bid at all. He happily moved the money into the storage room. However, he didn't realize that he would face a great disaster. Irene didn't know that Randy was Keaton's son until they were in the police station. She felt terrible when seeing Jordan apologizing humbly.
