Chapter 367 If I Die, Then So Be It

“Definitely. Brother Ocean, you just have to threaten her a bit, and she’ll do anything for her company,” Hans Foster added. At this, even Ocean Jenkins became excited. “Then, what are you waiting for? Get her out here to meet me.” At that moment, the human resources department’s door was pushed open, and Winifred Zea came out with Tyr Summers. Once he saw Winifred, Ocean’s eyes were fixed solely upon her. “She… She’s truly a masterpiece on earth.” “Are you okay?” Winifred and Tyr hurried over to Tom Zea and helped him up. “I’m fine.” Tom shook his head, but his face was now swollen. “Who slapped you?” As Winifred looked at Tom’s swollen face, fury burned in her heart. “Pre-… President Zea, uhm…” Tom stammered. “Was it him?” Winifred pointed at Ocean while the latter’s lips broke into a grin and answered, “That’s right. It was me. President Zea, are you still thinking of helping your staff regain justice?” However, Winifred didn’t bother to answer him. She turned to Tom and said, “Slap him back the same way as he slapped you just now.” “What?” Not only was Tom startled, but Ocean and Hans across them were stunned as well. Even the company staff around looked on incredulously. Winifred was too rash. The other party was the Jenkins family’s young master, a prominent figure in Prime City. Who would dare to touch him?” “President Zea, uhm…” Tom’s heart was thumping wildly, clearly frightened by Winifred’s decision. Even if he was given a hundred times the courage, he would never dare to touch Ocean. “Are you afraid?” Winifred sighed, feeling disappointed. She had allowed Tom to manage Autumn Field’s branch in Prime City because she had high hopes in him. Once Autumn Field truly grew in scale, this branch here in Prime City wouldn’t be any inferior compared to the country’s public listed companies. To lead such a company, not only did the representative have to be skillful and capable, but he also needed to have great resolution and courage. It was clear that Tom lacked in this department. Hence, Winifred had made a decision. Once this matter was settled, she would transfer Tom back to Khanh City and choose a more suitable person to serve as this branch’s general manager. “Winifred Zea, you have some nerve. Do you know who I am? How dare you ask your subordinate to hit me? Do you think this is Khanh City? You’re wrong. This is Prime City. Here at Prime City, my Jenkins family is invincible!” Slap! However, before Ocean had finished showing off, Winifred had slapped him across the face. For a moment, the entire office was silent. Even Ocean could not regain his senses. Until a few seconds later, when Ocean sensed the stinging pain on his cheek, only did he realize that he was hit. This woman before him had slapped the great Jenkins family’s young master whose family was one of the prominent three in Prime City. “F*cking hell!” Ocean was embarrassed and furious. Without caring whether Winifred was a woman or not, he lifted his leg to kick her. However, with Tyr shielding Winifred, who in this world could ever hurt her? Tyr had been standing beside Winifred without saying anything because he wanted to see the extent of Winifred’s growth up till today. Tyr had to admit that Winifred was able to surprise him each time. Since the city center’s fashion design competition, Winifred had been continuously progressing, and this gave Tyr a great sense of comfort. Perhaps Winifred’s progress was not only for herself but more importantly, it was because she was starting to care more and more about Tyr. Hence, she was working hard to get closer to him. Before Ocean’s leg could even reach Winifred, Tyr had appeared in front of her, shielding her. Tyr grabbed Ocean’s ankle while his other hand chopped down on Ocean’s shin. Crack! A crisp sound of bone cracking echoed with one hit, and Ocean’s lower leg curved ninety degrees. Ahh!!! A horrendous scream reverberated throughout the company, and everyone was dumbstruck. “You… How dare you! How dare you hurt Young Master Jenkins so severely. You’re dead. You’re f*cking dead!” Hans was breaking out in cold sweat. He had never dreamed that Tyr would be so violent. This was the Jenkins family’s young master, but the madman had simply disabled one of his legs. Did the man have a death wish? “The Jenkins’ family’s young master.” Tyr narrowed his eyes at Ocean, who was sitting on the ground, wailing as he hugged his lower leg. Tyr faintly shook his head. “So what?” So what? Hans could only feel his scalp prickle. Who was this guy, and who did he think he was? How dare he scorned the Jenkins family’s young master? “You’re dead. You’re all dead!” Hans screeched. Ocean, who was almost suffocating from the pain, glared at Tyr with bloodshot eyes. “My father is Anson Jenkins, the head of one of Prime City’s three new prominent families, the Jenkins. I will definitely kill you all. You’ll all be murdered.” “President Zea, what do we do?” Tom was frightened. He was so scared that his body was trembling. “President Zea, we’re in huge trouble. That’s the Jenkins’ family’s young master. We should’ve never hurt him so badly.” Winifred’s disappointment in Tom grew. She was even reluctant to pay him any mind. “There’s always a solution to a problem. What’s there to worry about? Tom Zea, if you’re afraid of getting into trouble, you can leave Autumn Field now. I can guarantee you that even if the Jenkins family comes over, you won’t get involved in the least.” “Uhm…” For a moment, Tom was hesitant. He was truly terrified right now because it had been quite some time since he came to Prime City, so he knew of the three prominent families of Prime City’s strength and methods well. If he stayed, he would no doubt get involved when the Jenkins family comes. However, Tom stayed after all because Winifred Zea was a benefactor of his family. Previously, Joseph Zea’s factory had been on the verge of bankruptcy. Had it not been for Winifred, would his family still be able to live a good life today? His father, Joseph Zea, had taught him all his life that he had to be grateful. “If I die, then so be it.” As if he was going all out, Tom did not leave despite his fear. He chose to stay with Winifred to face this issue. Once he decided, Winifred saw that the hesitation she noticed earlier from Tom’s behavior was gone. A delighted glint sparked in Winifred’s eyes at Tom’s decision. The prejudice she had for him earlier seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
