"What did you just say... Say that again!" Ryan's breathing becerratic, his bloodshot eyes blazing with a fire capable of scorching heaven and earth.
The man was enraged at this moment, teetering on the brink of collapse. It was a sight that brought immense satisfaction to Jason. Hence, Jason lifted his chin triumphantly and laughed wildly. “Mr. Hoffman, I should thank you the most for my outcwith Carrie today. If your family had not mistreated Carrie, tortured her to the brink, and resorted to such despicable acts as provoking the sick, wouldn't you and Carrie have gotten married long ago?

When the bodyguards attempted to intervene, Yasmin and Dean blocked them from getting close to Ryan.
Jason groaned in pain. He felt as if his spine was about to snap into several pieces. He had grown up pampered and privileged, never having suffered like this.

She agreed to marrybecause she's completely disappointed in you!" "Shut up!" Ryan screamed hysterically, his fists clenching tightly. He swung his fist toward Jason's face, scaring Jason so much that he shut his eyes.
"Mr. Hoffman!" Yasmin intervened just in time, her calloused palm enveloping his iron-like fist. “Please... I beg you!" But Ryan's molars remained tightly clenched. He could not bring himself to suppress the intense fury in his eyes.
"Haha... Go ahead. Hit me! Why aren't you hittingnow?" ne Jason understood their reservations, so he tried to provoke them again. "It's because you don't have the guts to do so The Hoffmans have already offended the Salvadors. If you dare to touch me, I'll make sure your family will never land another project in Savrow again!
