WantNovelMaybe Nathalie made too much of a scene, because Jackson's backup showed up fast-Jules and Mrs. Vincent's people arrived almost at the stime.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe moment Jules saw Mick and Jackson curled up on the ground, bloodied and battered, his face twisted in pity. He shot a glare at Nathalie, the obvious ringleader. "Nathalie, you're a young woman. How could you be so vicious? Call off your people right now! If someone dies, can you handle that kind of consequence?" Nathalie gave Lizzy a look, and Lizzy finally stopped.
Mick was barely hanging on, breath ragged and weak. "I'm calling the police," he croaked.
Morris rolled his eyes. "Go ahead. If you actually dare, I'll even give you scredit. But do you? What about all those filthy photos in your folder, or your medical records? You sure you wantto drop them on trending?" Mick's bravado instantly collapsed, panic flashing across his face. His anger turned to uncertainty and dread. Morris let out a soft, cold laugh. "You drugged Nathalie first. Her people roughing you up? Seems fair. But if you bother her again, next tyou won't get off so easy." Mick swallowed hard. There was something about Morris-he was young, his voice gentle, but somehow he radiated a quiet, bone-deep threat. It made your skin crawl.
Jules's sense of chivalry kicked in. "Nathan, Nathalie, you're in my house, and you just beat up the guy I've been grooming as my successor. Are you saying I don't matter?" Nathalie answered with a polite edge. "Mr. Jules, it's not that I don't respect you. But Mick's gone too far-he stole my project, drugged me, and now he's trying to crush my family. If I keep putting up with it, he'll just think I'm a pushover." She cracked her riding crop against the floor-sharp and loud enough to make everyone wince. "I don't go looking for fights. But if someone dares to dump their crap on me, I'll make sure they eat every last bit of it." Jules's temper spiked. "Nathalie, Stewart Enterprises and Vincent Corporation have a lot of deals together. You and Mick will have to see each other all the time. Why burn your own bridges?" Nathalie's words were icy. "If Vincent Corporation insists on keeping a guy with such rotten character, then I don't care to work with them." "Nathalie-" "Jules-" Jules had barely finished saying her nwhen Mrs. Vincent stormed in, her voice ringing through the room as she scolded him.
"Mick's got talent, I know you value him. But he's brought two disasters in just one day are you really still going to defend him?" Jules looked torn. "Mother, Nathan and Nathalie provoked him first. Look at Mick -Nathalie whipped him half to death!" "He brought it on himself." Jules was floored.
"Mother, how can you just take sides without even asking what happened-?"
Mrs. Vincent's anger boiled over.
"Jules, you've made more stupid mistakes today than in your entire life. Since you're so lost, go hand rest. I'll have a pro manage the company for a few days."
Jules stared at her in disbelief. "Mother, do you realize what you're doing? You're givingtoff just for an outsider. Do you know how much damage this could do to the company?" She snorted. "You're getting old, Jules. More confused than ever. You can't even tell who's family and who's not anymore." Jules gave a bitter smile. "You always taughtto be fair, to pick the best for the job. But today, you're teachingto play favorites?"
He added, "Even if you want to play favorites, Mick's the 's the CEO of Vincent Gorporation, Jackson's one of us-the Sharp family. So why Mother, are you standing up for Morris?"
