Ward sat on the chair limply and looked at Jasper with fear.

His mouth twitched a few times as he wanted to beg Jasper for mercy, but nothing came out despite the words being on the tip of his tongue.

Edie clenched his jaw. He wanted nothing more than to beat Ward to death now, but despite all this, the man was still his brother.

At this thought, Edie mustered the courage to tell Jasper, “This is really a misunderstanding, Mr. Laine.”

Jasper sat at the front of the meeting room and placed his interlocked fingers under his chin. He replied with a crescent eyed smile, “A misunderstanding? I thought you two came to file a lawsuit against JW?”

“After all, as you said before, it’s written in black and white on the contract. Either JW pays the compensation according to the contract, or you’ll sue us until we’re broke. What misunderstandings can there be?”
