Chapter 164 Windfall
Jared caught on to the situation and leaped forward, pulling Jeffrey back before he could escape.
Once Hilda reached them, she pulled at Jeffrey’s hair and shrieked, “Jeffrey, didn’t you claim that you
had a say in the deal with Cosmic Chemical? How dare you lie to me and dangle the contract over my
head to force me into your bed! You b*stard!”
She pounded him repeatedly as she vented her rage, and Jeffrey silently endured her raining fists.
A murderous aura had begun to emanate from Jared as he understood the situation. So Jeffrey was
blackmailing Hilda with the contract. If I didn’t come here to sign it myself, he would’ve gotten away with
his scheme!
Sometime later, Hilda stopped hitting Jeffrey out of exhaustion. Her eyes had welled with tears as she
turned to Jared and muttered, “Jared, I-I didn’t want you to get fired. That’s the only reason I agreed to
this b*stard’s proposal!”

Sensing his murderous aura, Jeffrey shook in fear and begged for mercy. “I-I know I was wrong. It was all
a joke! We used to be classmates. How could I bring myself to take advantage of her like that?”
His profuse apologies fell on deaf ears.
Jared announced, “I don’t want to kill anyone today.” He tightened his grip on Jeffrey’s elbow, and an
immense wave of spiritual energy emanated from his body, smashing the bones in Jeffrey’s arm into
smithereens.
“Argh!” Jeffrey let out an ear-splitting scream of agony.
Unbeknownst to Jeffrey, the bones in his arm had been pulverized to an irreparable degree.
“Jared!” Hilda immediately pulled Jared aside after his show of force.
She was worried that Jared would kill Jeffrey for her sake and land himself in jail again.
Faced with her concern, Jared stopped tormenting Jeffrey and turned his attention to a shell-shocked
Raymond. “Mr. Green, this is your employee. Please deal with him as you see fit.”
Raymond nodded hastily and assured him repeatedly of his intention to discipline Jeffrey.
Jared and Hilda soon left before they overstayed their welcome. The former was confident that Raymond
would teach Jeffrey a proper lesson.
When they returned to Sentiment Chemical Limited, everyone in the sales department was floored.
They even took turns reading the contract to verify its authenticity.
After that, they stared at Jared in disbelief, unable to imagine how he had secured a contract with
Cosmic Chemical in such a short time.
Zayne held the contract with shaky hands. As the manager of the sales department, he was the only
person who knew the true value of the contract, as well as the lucrative commission he was set to
receive.
Despite his hatred and bone-deep desire to fire Jared, he could not deny that Jared had inadvertently
handed him a windfall.
Still, Zayne tried his best to suppress his excitement. Putting on a nonchalant expression, he said,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Jared, you managed to secure this contract thanks to Maria’s and my efforts in the past. Don’t get too
cocky just yet. You may have passed this round and spared yourself from the chopping block, but that
doesn’t mean you’ll pass the next evaluation!”
After that, Zayne kept the contract and beelined for the general manager’s office, eager to share the
great news.
“Zayne! Wait up!” Maria followed him after his departure from the sales department.
He stopped after seeing that Maria was running after him.
“Can you tell me how much you’ll earn from this contract?” Maria knew the commission from the contract
was sizeable, but she was curious about the exact sum.
Zayne beamed as he replied, “Haven’t you had your eyes on the houses in Dragon Bay for a while? We
can check them out tomorrow, and you can pick any unit you like. We’re about to roll in riches thanks to
this contract, and we’ll definitely be able to afford a nice house then.”
