Chapter 1219 Nicholas’ Men

He backed away slowly as he demanded answers. He was looking for a chance to escape.

Frankly, when these two people appeared, he already had a good guess as to why they

were here.

If he wasn’t mistaken, these two people were sent by Nicholas. Well, he was correct. Just

as the reporter turned to flee, Edward showed up with another bodyguard.

He moved to block the reporter’s way with a friendly smile, but his tone was dangerous,

“Hey, buddy, you came here uninvited, and now you’re leaving without even a goodbye?

That’s not very polite now, is it?”

When the reporter saw Edward, he immediately recognized him as Nicholas’ right-hand

man and panicked. His fear turned up a notch as he swallowed anxiously when he saw the

tall and burly bodyguards surrounding him.

“Mr. Jackson, what’s the meaning of this?” “Nothing, really. I just wanted to have a chat.”

Edward’s tone was courteous, but his expression was anything but.

Although the reporter saw this, he still tentatively asked, “And if I say no?”

“Then, you leave me no choice.”

Edward gave a cool glance toward the bodyguard next to him at the reporter’s words.

The bodyguard nodded and forcefully dragged the reporter away.

“What are you doing? Let me go!”

The reporter kicked and struggled hard to break free of the bodyguard’s grasp but to no

avail.

Eventually, Edward took him away to one of Nicholas’ many properties.

The reporter fidgeted with apprehension as he sat on the couch in a large living room.

Finally, after Edward left him to stew for a long while, he glared at him and questioned

sternly, “Tell me, who sent you to crash the dinner party?”

As soon as he asked this question, the reporter jerked in his seat, and his eyes darted

around the room.

“What do you mean someone sent me? Wasn’t Nicholas the one who hired us?”

He tried to play dumb and also tried to threaten Edward with faux bravado, “What you’re

doing now is illegal! Release me now, or I will call the police when I leave.”

“Well, you said, ‘when I leave.’ Have you ever considered that you may not be able to

leave? What would you be able to do then?”

Edward wasn’t the least bit intimidated by the reporter’s threat. Instead, he threw one

right back at the reporter’s face.

The reporter was terrified when he heard Edward’s words.

“Murder is illegal! You can’t kill me!”

Still, he couldn’t help but tremble under Edward’s chilly stare.

To his surprise, Edward merely chuckled and drawled, “Who said anything about killing?

But you just reminded me that there are ways for me to get what I want. Since you aren’t

willing to cooperate, I’ll just beat you until you give me the answers I seek. I promise I

won’t beat you to death.”

The reporter was practically petrified when he heard those words.

The shock was evident in his eyes as he stared at Edward.

He couldn’t imagine how this man could appear so gentlemanly yet behave like a

gangster.

Edward saw the fear in the reporter’s eyes and smirked. ” I will do anything to achieve my

goal. So, what’s your play?”

His eyes were lit with a malicious glint as he stared down at the reporter.

The reporter pursed his lips and remained silent. It seemed that he still had the heart to

resist.

Naturally, Edward noticed his actions, so he gestured to the bodyguard next to him.

“Come! Let us welcome our new friend.”

Two bodyguards came forward at his silent order.

They even played along by cracking their knuckles. When the reporter heard those pops,

he felt himself getting goosebumps as a chill ran down his spine.

It was obvious that these two were well-trained. Even if he didn’t die from their beatings,

he would end up just as good as dead.

Therefore, when he saw them looming closer, he flailed his arms out and cried out, “Wait,

I’ll talk!”

Edward cracked a smile.

So, he waved the two bodyguards away and asked, “Who sent you?”

“It was the president of the Hadfield Group! He gave me half a million dollars to crash the

party.”

The reporter immediately sold Oliver out.

Nevertheless, Edward was rather surprised Oliver had decided to strike again.

That man was currently struggling with his own company, yet he still had the time to do

such things. Did this mean that he got off too lightly last time?

With that, Edward instructed the bodyguards to release the reporter and left for Dynasty

Gardens alone to report his findings to Nicholas.

Meanwhile, in Dynasty Gardens, Tessa had already retired for the night.
