“What if I don’t want to crawl?” Jasper asked instead.

Jacob scoffed. “Do I look like I’m giving you an option to choose from? Stupid!”

“Either beg for mercy today, or I’ll call someone to close yours and Jim’s company down. Jim will have his license revoked! Trust me, I can easily do all of this and more!”

Jacob spoke with an arrogant laugh, “Your relationship with Jim is great, right? His wife and child are both in Swallow Capital, and I think his son’s doing his second year in a reputable high school. I’m afraid his wife and son will only suffer if I send word out!”

Jacob leaned into Jasper as he spoke and scoffed. “By then, not only will your company suffer, but Jim’s entire family will also fall apart because of you!”

Jim’s expression shifted as he roared, “Come at me, you coward! You think threatening my kids makes you so great?”

Jacob straightened his back and spoke coldly, “Why the f*ck would I care whether I’m playing fair or not when we’ve already made it clear that I won’t go easy on you guys tonight, you dumb f*ck? What, your brain’s f*cked over too now?”
