The next day, Laura followed Vincent overseas. As they had friends overseas and owned a house
there, Laura was not apprehensive about going overseas.
The next day, Laura followed Vincent overseas. As they had friends overseas and owned a house
there, Laura was not apprehensive about going overseas.
Before she boarded the flight, Laura said, “Don't forget to deal with Oscar and Amelia. I'm worried that
they might harm me.”
“Mom, don't worry, I will handle it and make sure they give you a satisfying explanation,” Jennifer
replied.
“That's my good girl. Take care of yourself when we are not around. Also, come and visit us whenever
you have time. You have to let us know whenever you encounter any problems. Don't keep everything
to yourself, understand?” Laura reminded.
Jennifer nodded.
After her parents passed through the security check, Jennifer turned around and left. She got into her
car and leaned against her seat. Her expression looked grim and her brows furrowed as she looked at
the cars passing by through the car window.
A moment later, she started the engine and sped off. While she was driving, she rang June. “June, are
you free now? There's something I need to talk to you about.” After June said something on the other end of the line, Jennifer replied, “Sure. I'll wait for you in the
private room of Heavenly Swish.”
Jennifer headed toward Heavenly Swish, a beverage shop that sold all sorts of beverages. The shop
also had private rooms where customers could enjoy various entertainment activities.
As Jennifer was a regular at Heavenly Swish, a server led her to a VIP private room and asked, “Ms.
Larson, is there anything else I can get for you?”
As Jennifer already had a drink, she was no longer thirsty. As such, she shook her head.
A while later, June entered the private room. Bruises could still be seen on his face, and his hand was
still wrapped in bandages. Dressed in a white shirt and matching pants, June would have looked like a
prince charming if he wasn't injured.
“Why did you call me here so urgently? What's the matter?” June asked directly the moment he sat
down.
Noticing the man's bandaged hand, Jennifer did not answer June's question immediately but asked
instead, “How are your injuries? It's only been two days and you're already discharged. Did the doctors
or nurses say anything?”
June crossed his legs and gazed at Jennifer intensely before saying, “Jennifer, I suddenly realized how
attractive one could seem when they are hiding their true feelings. Have you ever considered being my
lover? Other than marriage, I can give you anything you want. At least, I'll be better to you than Carter.” Jennifer sneered and replied, “Be your lover? Sure! As long as you get rid of Cassie.”
When June heard that, his gaze turned cold.
“Why? You can't bear to do it?”
“Jennifer, it's better for a woman to be obedient. Being too demanding is not good.”
Jennifer flashed an ambiguous smile at June before directing the conversation back to the original
topic.
“The purpose of me asking you out today is to ask if you could help me kidnap Anthony.”
“Oscar's son?”
Jennifer nodded.
June's interest was piqued. An unfathomable glint flashed across his eyes as he replied, “Why would
you suddenly want to target the kid? Don't forget, that boy is Oscar and Amelia's precious son. Given
Oscar's personality, if something bad happens to his son, he would definitely destroy the Larson Group.
If that's the case, I would be affected as well. What makes you think that I'll help you?”
Attempting to provoke June, Jennifer said, “Are you admitting defeat to Oscar already?”
June changed his sitting position before replying with a smile, “I know you're trying to use reverse
psychology. If kidnapping that kid works, I would have done it long ago. Do you think I'll still be herelistening to you?”
Feeling confused by the man's reply, Jennifer asked, “What do you mean?”
“I mean, I've already tried that before, but the boy managed to escape. There were a lot of bodyguards
protecting him, and all of them were extremely skilled fighters. None of my men were their match.
Besides, they were all carrying guns. The fact that Oscar owned firearms legally in Chanaea, a society
governed by law, shows how powerful his influence is. Do you still want to try to kidnap that kid?” June
reminded her kindly. At the same time, a vicious and resentful glint flashed in his eyes.
Back then, he had sent a whole lot of men to kidnap Anthony. However, not only had they failed
miserably, those men did not even manage to touch a single strand of the boy's hair.
When June heard his subordinate's report, he was so furious that he nearly fainted.
“Is there really nothing else we can do?” Jennifer asked, frowning.
June shrugged and replied, “You can try again if you wish. If we were currently overseas, given the
Adertons' influence, we might stand a chance against the Clintons. However, this is Chanaea, and it's
better for me to behave myself. After all, I don't want to be deported.”
Jennifer pressed her lips together and looked at June with an unfathomable expression.
“June, does that mean that you're not going to help me?”
“Sorry, there's nothing I can do.” Jennifer let out a chuckle and said in a mocking tone, “You sounded so passionate and convincing
when you spoke about dealing with Clinton Corporations. You even said with so much conviction that
you were going to make Oscar kneel in front of you and admit defeat. Turns out that you are all talk and
no action, and it's just a pipe dream. Forget it. I was wrong about you. It's fine if you are not willing to
help me. I will do it myself.”
June's expression darkened as he reached out to grab Jennifer, who had just stood up to leave.
“What's wrong? Are you mad because everything I've just said is true?”
“Why are you in such a rush? I merely said that I wouldn't do it personally, but that doesn't mean I won't
lend you my men, right?” June raised his chin and smirked.
Jennifer snorted and replied, “Does that mean you're intending to send your subordinates to help me?”
“My subordinates have all worked for the Aderton family previously, and they are all retired members of
the special forces. They are both physically fit and highly skilled in fighting. Feel free to give them your
orders. With their help, you'll stand a better chance of kidnapping Anthony,” June said. However, he did
not mention that, even though his bodyguards were bigger-sized than Oscar's bodyguards, they had
suffered a terrible defeat against the other side the previous time.
“All right. I owe you a favor now. You can ask me to do anything for you in return.”
The next instant, June pulled the woman into his arms.
Locking her in his embrace, June held Jennifer's chin and stared deep into her eyes before saying in
an alluring voice, “You're totally my type. Would you really not consider being my lover? I can fulfill all ofyour material needs, and of course, that includes your company.”
Jennifer tilted her head to one side, trying to hide the disgust in her eyes. “Nope,” she replied coldly.
“That's such a pity,” June said before letting go of her.
After being released from the man's grip, June straightened out her clothes and said, “Let me know
when I can have your men. Make the arrangements as soon as possible so that I can test the waters
first. If we can use Anthony to threaten Oscar, the odds of us succeeding would be quite good.”
June raised his glass and said, “Here's a toast to your success in advance. I'll be waiting for your good
news.”
June nodded before saying, “I'll make a move first.”
When Jennifer was at the door, June's voice sounded again. “Can you tell me why you would suddenly
think of targeting the child?”
The corners of Jennifer's lips curled up into a sneer before she replied, “I just want to let Oscar and
Amelia know what it feels like to lose the person they love the most.” After saying that, the woman
opened the door and left.
June leaned against the couch lazily and cracked a smug smile. Looking toward the window, he
laughed and said to himself, “Seems like my plan is working. Jennifer, even though you think you're
smart, you're just a pawn in my game after all.”
