Who was Conrad Monty?
Conrad Monty was the head of the Monty family!
The Monty family was the oldest, strongest, and most powerful family in the entire Southeast Province!
It could be said that the Monty family presided above all the other powerful families in Southeast Province.
Plus, Conrad Monty was a one-of-a-kind prodigy. He was a genius in Southeast Province that only emerged once every 50 years!
He had just started when he managed to completely turn a nearly bankrupt company around into what was now known as Monty Group. Since then, the group had always held a spot in the list of top three companies and reported the highest earnings every year.
Conrad Monty was the role model for the younger generation in Southeast Province.
However, Conrad Monty from the Monty family was now showing so much humility when he was speaking to Jasper Laine?
Joseph felt his blood vessels contracting as oxygen failed to reach his brain.
Leonard, who was standing beside him, was in even worse shape. All color had drained completely from his face, and he looked as pale as a ghost now.
“You’re too polite,” Jasper said calmly as he turned to gaze at the Wagner brothers who had identical expressions of shock and horror on their faces.
Conrad turned around and asked, “What’s going on?”
Joseph’s lips were mumbling, but he did not dare say anything. He turned to look at his brother, Leonard.
Leonard shuddered when Conrad’s gaze landed on him. He was just about to stutter an answer when Conrad slapped him across the face.
Leonard’s face had suffered through plenty of beatings today. After getting hit multiple times, his face was now as swollen as a pig’s head.
Leonard howled in pain as he took two steps backward, the fear apparent in his eyes.
“You got slapped because you don’t know what’s good for you.”
The two were so terrified they did not dare say anything else. Crawling over hurriedly, they begged for mercy from Jasper with tears streaking down their faces.
“Mr. Laine, I’m sorry. It was my fault for being so f*cking rude. I shouldn’t have lost my temper like that. Please, treat me like a fart you need to let go of!”
“Mr. Laine! My brother and I are at fault here. I’m so sorry, please forgive us.”
Jasper ignored them and turned to look at Celine.
He had made his stance clear. Celine was the one in charge here.
If she was alright, then everything would be alright.
If she did not agree, Jasper would continue toying with them until the very end.
Celine immediately understood what Jasper meant and chuckled as she said, “Hurry up and get it done with. I’m hungry.”
