Chapter 030 Jasmine
A trace of disdain flickered in Ethan's eyes, whether it was disdain towards Phil's arrogance or towards Dorothy and Richard's eagerness to distance themselves.
After seeing Ethan's expression, Dorothy couldn't help but panic and said, "Don't worry, I can call my dad... Maybe he can come up with a solution!"
Phil sneered and said, "Your name is Dorothy, right? Call your dad? With your family's assets, I can crush your entire family in minutes!"
Upon hearing these words, Dorothy's expression froze, and bitterness filled her mouth.
The Bush Group and the Smith Group had a close partnership, destined for the Bush Group's assets not to exceed the Smith Group's.
With the Tiger Group backed by the Tiger Gang, even Boston's top enterprise, the Aim Group, was suppressed. Ten Bush Groups combined would still be no match.
"Today, no matter who you call, it is not going to work! Let this jerk obediently crawl out from beneath my pants. And then, you stay behind and serve me tonight. It is your honor to serve me.
"Maybe if I'm pleased, I'll reward you with an order or investment for the Bush Group. What's wrong? You don't look happy? Do you think I'm unbearable to look at? Worse than this bastard?"
Phil's attitude was condescending, even preparing to poke Dorothy's chin with his hand, which frightened Dorothy and made her step back.
Richard also had an embarrassed expression, but he had to pluck up the courage to speak up, saying, "Phil, I'm begging you! I don't mind this bastard sneaking in and out from inside his pants, but could you spare Dorothy?"
"Fuck you, do you have any say in this?" Phil was annoyed and slapped Richard directly in the face.
Just moments ago, Richard, who had been feeling superior and lofty in front of Ethan, was now left with a bloody corner of his mouth, feeling dizzy and unable to utter a word of anger.
"What's the matter? Why are you all so unhappy?" A mature voice came, and Jasmine, wearing a red dress and bright red lipstick, walked over with a wine glass, alarmed by the commotion.
After seeing her, everyone unconsciously nodded and greeted her politely, even the frivolous and promiscuous ones dared not act insolently anymore.
Phil smiled and said, "Jasmine, I know the rules of your bar. But this time, it wasn't me who started it. It was this bastard who hit me and shoved my head into the urinal!"
Upon hearing these words, the expressions of the crowd changed again.
"Damn, this bastard has some nerve. Causing trouble in Jasmine's bar is bad enough, but he also dared to shove Phil's head into the urinal?!"
"Phil won't let him off, and neither will Jasmine!"
"I remember, there was a wealthy playboy before, worth billions, who harassed Jasmine in the bar... The next day, his limbs were broken, and his family didn't dare to make trouble!"
"Last time, a military officer caused trouble in the bar. The next day, he was dragged by his superior to personally apologize to Jasmine!"
Some onlookers who were purely spectators looked at Ethan with gloating eyes, thinking that he was doomed.
‘Firstly, he made a move, which had already violated the rules of Jasmine's bar. Secondly, he hit the Tiger Group's Phil and even shoved his head into the urinal.’
‘If he doesn't obediently crawl out from under Phil's pants and let Dorothy take care of Phil, he probably won't escape unscathed!’
After hearing these words, Jasmine narrowed her eyes and cast her amorous gaze upon Ethan. She slowly said, "You were the one who made the first move?"
"Strictly speaking, yes. But he started it first!" Ethan thought for a moment, then nodded, stating the truth.
"I don't care about the details. What I care about is if you can bear the consequences." Jasmine's voice was calm; but carried a sense of warning.
"What differences do you have between each other? I only care about who started it."
"Mr. Brown, do you have a solution for this?" Jasmine turned her head and looked at Phil, asking.
Phil smirked and said, "Jasmine, I have already presented my demands, but it seems like they are not willing to agree."
Ethan smiled and said, "This is my feud with him, but he shouldn't involve my friend. What do you think, Jasmine?"
Jasmine paused for a moment, asked about the situation, and then said to Phil, "Mr. Brown's way of handling this is unfair."
Phil's face stiffened, but instead of exploding, he politely said, "Jasmine makes a valid point. Let's forget about the second condition!"
After saying this, he spread his legs apart and pointed to his crotch. "Crawl through, get out of the bar, and I'll let you go today," Phil said.
Jasmine said to Ethan, "Young man, you brought trouble upon yourself, so you should bear the consequences. I have spoken fairly. Follow Mr. Brown's instructions. As for the incident in my bar, I will not hold it against you."
"Kneel down, then crawl under Mr. Brown's pants, and apologize to him. We'll consider the matter settled." Jasmine's tone was condescending, but no one found it strange.
"Jasmine always acts magnanimously, she separates the issue from the person, which is why everyone respects her!"
"Yes, jerk. Our Jasmine has spoken. Your girlfriend is fine now, but you made a mistake, so you should face the consequences!"
Seeing Ethan unmoved, Jasmine said lightly, "Young man, if you're unwilling to accept this punishment, then I have no choice but to deal with it according to my rules. You can inquire about what happens to people who cause trouble in my bar."
Everyone nodded slightly upon hearing Jasmine's words. Indeed, if Jasmine were to act, Ethan's punishment wouldn't be as simple as crawling under Phil.
"Who do you think you are that I have to do whatever you say?!" Ethan turned his head, smiling insincerely at Jasmine.
As soon as he said this, the scene fell silent. Some people even dropped their glasses, shattering them on the ground.
"This kid... How did he dare to speak to Jasmine like that?"
"I have never seen someone talk to Jasmine like this. This person's brain must not be working!"
"It's one thing to offend Phil, but what about offending Jasmine? Even ten lives wouldn't be enough for him to squander!"
Certainly, Jasmine didn’t expect Ethan to say such arrogant words. Her beautiful and affectionate face instantly darkened.
"Coldly, he said, 'I am the one who hit him, but it was Phil who started the trouble! I gave him a chance, but he didn't appreciate it. Now you're stepping in to mediate, so don't blame me for not giving you, the owner of this bar, any face.'"
"What audacity! Does Jasmine need him to save her dignity? Who does he think he is?"
"Even Mayor Joseph wouldn't dare speak to Jasmine like this, right? Who does he think he is, making such arrogant remarks?"
Richard looked at Ethan in shock, ignorant of the consequences of his words. He certainly dares to say anything!
Dorothy also looked up at Ethan, her lips trembling slightly, but ultimately, she didn't say anything...
Jasmine's origin is mysterious and unfathomable. Anyone who disrespects her often meets a bad end!
What gives Ethan the confidence to speak to Jasmine like this?
