Chapter 256 You Are Not Qualified to Help
Actually, all the thugs in the yard had noticed Carissa and Lachlan arguing about something. But she was just a woman, and they couldn’t be bothered to get involved.
But when Omar showed up and started chatting with Lachlan, things changed. Although it would be easy for Lachlan to deal with him, he couldn’t personally handle such small fry given his status.
So Jeremy quickly ran out to help deal with the trouble so that Lachlan wouldn’t have to do it himself.
And at this moment, after recognizing Jeremy, Omar saw Carissa mocking him and suddenly gave her a big slap!
“You bitch! Shut your damn mouth!”
Carissa widened her eyes and covered her face as she screamed at Omar.
“Omar, what are you doing? Why did you hit me?”
Omar glared fiercely at this woman, “Are you blind? This is Jeremy! My brother Black Dog eats with him too! If you dare insult Jeremy again, are you tired of living?”
“Shut up!!”
He glared desperately at Carissa while signaling her!
Then he put on a smiley face and nodded obsequiously as he approached Jeremy while pulling out a cigarette, “Jeremy, I’m Omar from Black Dog’s gang. We had dinner together before. Do you remember?”
“This woman doesn’t know any better. Please don’t argue with such an insignificant person.”
Jeremy frowned slightly as he looked at Omar but didn’t respond directly to him. Instead, he respectfully asked Lachlan, “Mr. Willis, did he come looking for trouble? You don’t have to take care of it yourself. I can handle it for you.”
Who was this guy named Omar anyway? He didn’t even remember who he was.
Seeing how Jeremy reacted like that made Omar open his mouth wide in confusion.
Carissa blinked several times too but wore an expression full of excitement on her face.
“… Jeremy… he is…” Omar pointed towards Lachlan while asking suspiciously.
“He is my boss’s brother-in-law. What’s going on here? Did you disrespect Mr. Willis earlier?” Jeremy asked coldly after hearing that question.
Hearing this made Omar shudder in fear before waving his hand frantically, “N-No…nope! Just thought that Mr. Willis looked familiar so I wanted make friends with him!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled Carissa forward, dragging her in front of Lachlan, “Oh yeah! Mr. Willis, do you like Carissa, right? From now on, my girlfriend… oh no, ex-girlfriend will become your woman!”
“Oh my god!
What the hell was going on?
Lachlan was Jeremy’s boss’s brother-in-law? This was too crazy!
Even if he only hung out in the town below Edoland, he’d heard of Mason’s name.
And Carissa called him a “toad”, but he was actually Mason’s brother-in-law??
Omar was almost scared to death when he heard this!
Carissa was also trembling with fear, but then she approached Lachlan with what she thought was her most seductive smile.
“Lachlan, I… I was just joking earlier… actually, I’ve liked you since middle school. It wasn’t until you didn’t admit your feelings for me that we had issues! From now on, I’ll be your little sweetheart.”
As she spoke, she leaned towards Lachlan.
Lachlan heard this and his whole body shuddered with goosebumps. He looked disgusted and said, “Get lost! Don’t gross me out!”
He took a step back to avoid Carissa and then turned to Jeremy saying, “Jeremy, it’s up to you now. Get rid of them.”
With that said, he turned around and went inside without bothering with Carissa anymore.
“Yes sir!” Jeremy bowed his head in response.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
The next second, he glared coldly at Omar, “Mr. Willis is Ms. Lowe’s husband. How could someone like him be interested in trash like you? It’s ridiculous!”
“Also, you should consider yourself lucky that my boss didn’t hear what you just said. Get out of here quickly before we have to clean up after you!”
Why would Omar try to give Mason’s brother-in-law a woman?
When Omar heard this, his face turned red from embarrassment while nodding apologetically. He couldn’t help but peek into the yard as well…
Oh my god!!
As soon as he saw it, his pants were almost wet from shock. His face showed an expression of disbelief…
When Omar ate dinner with Black Dog and Jeremy before, this guy had seen several other big shots from Edoland’s underworld. He may be arrogant, but his eyesight for people who can offend or not offend others was quite accurate. So even though there wasn’t much else special about him, his ability to remember faces were impeccable…
And at this moment what did he see??
A group of gangsters all covered in dirt cleaning up the yard??
What the hell?! These big shots came down here just for some country living experience?
“Jeremy, what are you guys doing?” Omar couldn’t help asking.
“We’re helping Mr. Willis clean up the old house,” replied Jeremy irritably.
Upon hearing this, Omar and Carissa exchanged a surprised glance, feeling as though their entire worldview had been turned upside down.
Carissa’s face twitched as she thought to herself, “Is this the same ‘toad’ from before? How did he become so powerful that even a group of gangsters would come to help him fix up his run-down house?”
“Jeremy, we want to help too! I’ll have you know that I used to be pretty good at masonry. I noticed that one corner of Mr. Willis’s yard wall is about to collapse. I could help fix it,” Omar said eagerly.
Carissa nodded in agreement and added, “Yes! And I can also lend a hand. Back home… I mean, back at my parents’ house… I used to do some cleaning.”
Jeremy looked annoyed and waved them off like shooing away flies. “No way! You guys aren’t qualified for this job! Do you really think you can handle fixing up Mr. Willis’s old house? Get lost before things get ugly!”
Omar and Carissa looked embarrassed and quickly left after nodding their heads repeatedly.
Once they got into the car, Omar wiped his forehead with relief and let out a deep sigh of relief. He couldn’t imagine what kind of consequences he would have faced if he had actually fought Lachlan just now!
Carissa was still covering her face with her hands while complaining indignantly, “What an ungrateful jerk! We offered our help but got turned away!”
Omar glared at her fiercely, “Shut your mouth already! Listen carefully, from now on you need to learn how to pick your battles wisely instead of picking fights with anyone who crosses your path!”
“Do you even know who those people were in the yard just now? They were all big-time gangsters. Any one of them could make Black Dog act like a submissive little puppy in front of them!”
