Chapter 270 The Bait

“There’s no need to look at me with such surprise. There’s nothing in Jazona that can be kept a secret from me. As the descendant of the Scott family, are you willing to be oppressed by a mere ex-convict?” asked Tyrion as he stared at Leyton disdainfully.

Leyton sighed. “You might not know this. I don’t know what’s so impressive about Jared, but he managed to win the favor of people like Walter, Tommy, and William. Everyone treats him with so much respect! My family can’t even compare to him.”

“Hahaha! Walter, Tommy, and William? How terrifyingly powerful!”

Tyrion burst out laughing as a look of contempt filled his eyes.

Leyton continued embarrassedly, “They might not be anything to you, Mr. Whitaker, but our family is nowhere on par with yours!”

“I’m giving you a chance now, Leyton. Are you willing to take it?” Tyrion queried as he narrowed his eyes.

Stunned, Leyton asked, “What chance are you talking about?”

“I can let you take revenge on Jared to your heart’s content. The people you’ve just mentioned will not dare to help him,” explained Tyrion with a half-smile.

“Really?” Leyton’s eyes lit up, but the hope in them soon dimmed. “Why are you helping me, Mr. Whitaker? I doubt you’re doing it as an entirely altruistic act.”

His statement caused Tyrion to guffaw. “Hahaha! Altruistic? I never do things for the sake of others. By helping you take down Jared, I’m helping myself too. Have you forgotten about my relationship with Josephine?”

After being in stunned silence for a while, Leyton exclaimed excitedly, “You like Josephine, but Jared and her seem really close. They even proclaimed that they’re dating!”
