Chapter 24 Faint from Anger

Jessica was livid upon hearing that. A convict fresh out of prison, lucky to have a job, had the nerve to bother her?

She snapped at Fergus, "You think you're something special? One day, you'll come begging to me. Remember your attitude today when that happens!"

Jessica thought, 'Sophia would never marry him. Violet would eventually dump him. He'd be nothing!'

Fergus couldn't care less and turned to leave.

"You..." Jessica was even more furious. What an attitude! Yesterday, she had asked Tyler to save him; otherwise, Mr. Quinn would have beaten him to death. Now he was turning his back on her. How ungrateful.

If she had known, she wouldn't have saved him.

She quickly ran in front of him.

"Stop!" Jessica shouted angrily, "I came to find you specifically. First, to ask you to forgive Mr. White and not retaliate. Second, I hope we can work together!"

"My company supplies construction materials. Since you attended the land auction, you're aiming at real estate. I hope you can buy raw materials from the Henderson Group!"

If she could secure this contract, no one in the Henderson family would dare criticize her. They'd see her as the money-maker.

Fergus felt a headache coming on. He had no intention of doing business. He agreed to Violet's request because he couldn't say no to her seductive look, and he came here to avoid Sarah's mockery.

But doing business all the time was too boring.

To get Jessica off his back, he said casually, "Talk to Ms. Mitchell about it."

Then he turned to leave again.

Jessica gritted her teeth and cursed inwardly, 'How dare he brush me off? Men are all the same. They forget their past once they gain power. He used to chase me onto planes and into restaurants!'

She followed him again, her tone softer and more delicate. "Fergus, we have a prenuptial agreement. Can you help me out and give me the order? Please."

She blinked her eyes as she spoke.

Fergus felt a shiver down his spine at her tone. He looked at Jessica; she seemed to have a split personality.

Just then, a figure approached.

"He can't give you the order because he didn't get the land today!"

Tyler looked at Fergus with anger and contempt. He already knew everything that had happened at the auction and had rushed over, his eyes red with anger at the sight of Fergus.

"Mr. Shaw?"

Jessica was excited. "We meet again. You look even better than last time we met, like every girl's hero. By the way, what do you mean he didn't get the land?"

She planned to cooperate with the Logan Group, so she needed to flatter him.

Tyler glanced at Fergus with disdain and then smiled. "Ms. Henderson, you probably don't know yet, but the Logan Group has already acquired Plot 140."

"The Logan Group will also be developing it. Mr. Yost here left in a fit of rage because he couldn't compete with us. How can he give you an order?"

Jessica was stunned. She thought Fergus, as Violet's partner, would be making big moves. She never expected he didn't get the land.

She glared at Fergus, dissatisfied. "You didn't get the land and why didn't tell me? You owe me this time. Next time, you must give me the order."

"There won't be a next time!" Tyler said immediately, no longer hiding his contempt. "Fergus, from today on, I declare war on you. From now on, the Logan Group will interfere in any of your business!"

"Anything you want, the Tarynville Group will take! In a month, I'll make Ms. Gray disappointed in you and trample you underfoot!"

Logan had set the strategy last night, so there was no need to hide it. Once Fergus was no longer Violet's partner, they'd get their revenge a thousandfold!

"Idiot!" Fergus said bluntly.

"What did you say?" Tyler was furious. First, Fergus called him a fool, and now,an idiot?

"Mr. Shaw, don't get upset," Jessica quickly intervened, seeing the situation escalate. Fergus might have some status now, but what if he lost it in the future? Tyler, on the other hand, was the heir to the Logan Group, and that wouldn't change.

She turned to scold Fergus, "Apologize to Mr. Shaw immediately. Do you know that Mr. Shaw saved you yesterday? He's your savior. Don't be ungrateful. Apologize now."

Jessica kept giving Fergus looks.

"He saved me?" Fergus laughed, looking at Tyler.

Tyler, who had been aggressive, felt a bit guilty when he heard this.

However, Jessica didn't notice.

She continued, "Why do you think Mr. Quinn let you go? It was all because Mr. Shaw personally asked him! Apologize now; it's for your own good. Do you understand?"

Slap!

Without warning, Fergus slapped Tyler across the face. "I hate liars the most. I'll give you one chance to rephrase your language. Did you save me?"

Tyler was dizzy from the slap, and blood trickled from his nose. This guy was unreasonable, hitting without warning.

Jessica was stunned. "Fergus, what are you doing!"

Slap!

Fergus slapped Tyler again. "You can lie, but don't let me hear it. If you don't tell the truth, I'll keep hitting you!"

Among thousands of people in Shadowgate Penitentiary, including Daniel, no one dared to lie to him. Once, a guy named Louis, who claimed to be the king of assassins, lied to Fergus and ended up with dozens of cuts on his body...

"No, I didn't do anything!"

Tyler was about to go crazy, but he couldn't beat him. Continuing to fight would only lead to more humiliation.

Fergus couldn't be bothered to look at him anymore and said simply, "This guy looks decent but is full of bad intentions. Stay away from him, or you'll end up being his cash cow after he sells you."

With that, he turned and left.

Jessica watched Fergus walk away before coming to her senses. She quickly comforted Tyler, "Mr. Shaw, are you okay? Does it hurt? Do you need to go to the hospital? I'll go with you."

She still needed to get the order from him and had to show the proper concern.

Tyler wiped his nosebleed. "No need. It's just a small injury!"

He looked at Jessica again. "Today, I finally understand what it means for a petty person to become arrogant. Becoming Ms. Gray's partner, he doesn't even acknowledge my life-saving grace!"

"I shouldn't have saved him yesterday!"

Jessica was a bit dizzy, not knowing whom to believe.

Tyler didn't dwell on the topic and smiled. "Ms. Henderson, don't worry. I won't hold your relationship with Fergus against you. I draw a clear line between public and private matters."

"You want the order, right? No problem. Meet me at the Tarynville Hotel restaurant tonight, and we'll discuss it in detail!"

Tyler thought, 'If I couldn't beat Fergus, I'd go after his woman. They are engaged? Perfect, tonight I'd have fun with her!'

"Really?"

Jessica forgot everything else, overjoyed. "Mr. Shaw, thank you for the opportunity. The Henderson Group will provide the best quality products. Mr. Shaw, it's almost noon. If you're available, shall we go to the Tarynville Hotel for lunch?"

She wanted to finalize the contract as soon as possible.

Tyler shook his head. "Not now, right now..."

As he spoke, his face changed, and he quickly ran inside. "My dad was angered by Fergus and fainted!"
