Chapter 423 Chapter 423: Cut The Crap
Cristofer’s eyes narrowed, and he said coldly, “Mr. Klein, you’ve grown bolder in the past few years. How dare you talk with me in such a manner?!”
With a fearless look on his face, Jimmy shrugged and said, “Mr. Hans, are you intimidating me? Do you wanna get even with me? Forget the thought if you don’t want Mrs. Hans to have another accident!”
As soon as Jimmy finished his words, Estelle felt that Cristofer’s big hand suddenly tightened about her wrist. She couldn’t help taking a look at him and saw his darkened face.
Jimmy then continued, “Mr. Hans, do you dare to remove the band-aid? If the wound on your neck is a knife wound, it proves that you are the one who beat me up and caused my serious injury twice!”
Hearing this, Cristofer darted a sharp look at Jimmy. Loosening his grip on Estelle’s hand, he walked toward Jimmy and whispered in a voice that only two people could hear, “What do you want?”
Raising his eyebrows, Jimmy asked, “Mr. Hans, are you admitting that you are that helmet man?”
“Cut the crap. Tell me what you want directly,” Cristofer coldly responded.
“I want some gemstones supplied by Alexander.”
“Okay.”
“For free.”
“What?!”
Jimmy was short and fat. Standing next to Cristofer, he looked like a clown. With a complacent smile, he said, “You didn’t mishear. Mr. Hans, you will pay them for me.”
Pressing his lips tightly, Cristofer thought for a few seconds and asked, “How many gemstones do you want?”
“I want ninety percent of them.”
“Mr. Klein, it took me a lot of effort to reach a cooperative agreement with Alexander, but now you want to pocket almost all the fruits of my efforts. Are you kidding me?”
“Mr. Hans, you can refuse me. But I’m afraid you will have to go to the police station and explain how you got injured in your neck,” Jimmy repeated his threat.
With a frown, Cristofer said, “You should know that even if I am arrested, I can be bailed out easily.”
“Of course, I know that. You are rich, and the bail is just a drop in the bucket for you. But Mr. Hans, things are not as simple as you think. Do you know how many people you have offended? Do you know how many companies have shut down because of you these years and how many employees have lost their jobs because of this? They all wished they could kill you. If they know that the person you care about most is Mrs. Hans, what do you think they will do to her?”
“You...”
“Mr. Hans, can you take care of her forever? Can you make sure you’ll save her when she’s in trouble? Don’t just hide her away from the world; Mrs. Hans won’t like that. If you do that, she’ll feel like you’re taking away her freedom, and she’ll be upset with you.”
Gritting his teeth, Cristofer said angrily, “If anyone dares to hurt her, I will let them pay the price!”
“Don’t bark at me. I’m just telling the truth. Besides, even if I don’t do anything to her, those who you have offended before won’t spare her. If they catch such a beautiful woman as Mrs. Hans, she may be tortured to death by their dirty means. Mr. Hans, you’d better think carefully about which is more important between the gemstones and Mrs. Hans.”
“You...”
“Don’t be upset. I’ll just take away ninety percent of the gemstones, and you will still have ten percent of them. I’m kind enough that I didn’t ask for all the gemstones. If you don’t have enough gemstones in the future, you can buy some from me. I’ll give you a discount,” Jimmy said shamelessly.
Cristofer was speechless.
“As long as you agree to my terms, I’ll drop this matter, and the others will just think that Mrs. Hans scratched your neck.”
Cristofer fell silent.
“I believe you will make the right decision for the sake of Mrs. Hans’ safety. Right?”
“Deal,” Cristofer said through gritted teeth as he glared at Jimmy and added, “You’d better keep your word, or I’ll let you disappear from the world without a trace, got it?”
Hearing this, Jimmy was overjoyed and said, “Got it. Got it. Mr. Hans, don’t worry. I won’t let anyone know about what...”
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted and stunned by what was happening in front of him.
Just now, judging from Jimmy’s expression, Estelle could roughly guess what he was saying to Cristofer, and then she made a decision. Plucking up her courage, she walked toward Cristofer, put one arm around his neck, and pulled him closer to her. Then she quickly tore off the band-aid on his neck and kissed his wound.
“Oh my God! What’s going on? Is this a new way of displaying affection in public?”
“Wow!”
“Oh, my Goddess!”
Caught off guard by Estelle’s behavior, Cristofer was also stunned, and he felt the skin around his Adam’s apple was burning hot. He couldn’t help swallowing and said in a hoarse voice, “Estelle, you... Hiss...”
Before he finished his words, Estelle bit his wound, and he felt a sharp pain. Meanwhile, Estelle could feel his whole body taut, and she tasted blood.
With a drop of blood at the corner of her mouth, she loosened her bite with a hint of fluster in her eyes. Quickly adjusting her emotion, she pretended to be angry and said, “Were you complaining to Mr. Klein about what I did to you? I just bit you last night as a punishment that you didn’t want to buy me the handbag. Do you want everyone to know about that and then ask them to scold me?”
Her words dumbfounded everyone present. Then some people thought the situation was too awkward and walked away and some still stood there and looked at Estelle with a meaningful look.
“It turns out the wound on Mr. Hans’ neck is not a scratch but a bite...”
“She must have bitten him hard. Look, the bite is so big and is bleeding.”
“People can’t be judged by their appearances. Mrs. Hans looks tender and gentle, but actually, she is short-tempered...”
“I didn’t expect that Mr. Hans would like her type. Haha.”
“Did you see Mr. Hans’ expression just now? He looked so happy, and his eyes brightened when Mrs. Hans bit him. Maybe he likes it when she treats him like this. This is a kind of romance exclusive between them.”
Hearing their discussions, Estelle blushed with embarrassment, thinking, ‘Now they must be thinking that I’m a ruthless and a difficult person. Whatever. At least in this case, they won’t dare to take advantage of me if I do business with them in the future. And most importantly, Jimmy can’t threaten Cristofer anymore.’
