Chapter 325: Chapter 325 Simmons Family in the Provincial Capital_1
Jay Brent was taken aback upon hearing this and said in astonishment, “If the Simmons family comes to take the Fragrant Spirit Grass tomorrow…”
“Hahaha, that’s going to be quite a show.”
Theo Carter laughed excitedly in a low voice, “It’s too bad I’m not familiar with the Locke family; otherwise, I’d love to be there to watch this drama unfold.
It’s just a mystery what Mick Simmons’s face will look like when he sees Jeffrey Locke and his people presenting him with a pot of dyed Daffodil flowers to trick him.”
What other expression could Mick Simmons have?
Giving him dyed Daffodil flowers is just like treating him like a fool.
In a fit of rage, Mick Simmons might just wipe out the Locke family completely.
Thinking about the consequences of angering the Simmons family, Jay Brent shuddered uncontrollably, looking at Greg Jensen and Theo Carter with eyes as if he had seen a ghost, filled with fear.
To be an enemy of Greg Jensen’s was a deadly affair!
He couldn’t help but feel relieved in his heart, thankful that he had chosen to follow Jensen; otherwise, his fate might have been far worse than the Locke family’s by countless times.
I am but a dog at Mr. Jensen’s feet…
Don’t worry, I’m in this with Mr. Jensen!
Jay Brent repeated this in his mind several times, thoroughly washing his brain, before he finally took a long breath and completely relaxed.
With the Fragrant Spirit Grass back in his possession, Greg Jensen finally breathed a sigh of relief, his resentment toward the Locke family deepening.
He pondered whether or not to clarify the matter of the shares and take a big chunk out of the Locke family.
After a moment of contemplation, he abandoned the idea.
To strike now would yield a good haul from the Locke family, but it would only be some cash.
If he could bring down the Locke family, with the shares he held in his hands, the outcome would be entirely different.
By that time, even if he couldn’t control the entire Locke family, he would become one of the major shareholders of Locke Corporation.
Jensen couldn’t help but sneer at the thought of the dyed Daffodil matter.
According to the information Theo Carter had gathered earlier, the items the Locke family had found twice in a row were worthless, which had already displeased Mick Simmons.
If the dyed Daffodil issue were exposed, the Locke family would likely face a calamity.
Early the next morning, Greg Jensen instructed Theo Carter to keep an eye on the Locke family, while he himself, seemingly without a care, returned to Riverhaven County with Trey Holmes.
Of course, the pot of Fragrant Spirit Grass was with them too.
Having not seen Lois Abbott for nearly two months, Greg Jensen missed her and, considering the supermarket business that needed to be discussed in the city, decided to visit.
Jensen caught up on sleep in the car and, by the time he opened his eyes again, the car had already stopped below Reverie Inn.
Trey Holmes stayed in the car to guard the Fragrant Spirit Grass while Jensen walked into the inn alone.
“Mr. Jensen, welcome.”
Having been away for a while, hotel staff recognized him, their eyes filled with a mix of surprise and respect.
Jensen responded with a smile and made his way to the General Manager’s office.
Inside the office, Lois Abbott was examining yesterday’s reports. Suddenly hearing the door, she looked up instinctively and was startled to see Greg Jensen. She froze.
For a moment, all the pent-up grievances rose to the surface, fogging up her soft, watery eyes.
Then, in the next second, all grievances and sadness disappeared, replaced by an icy coldness like frost.
“Hmph, who are you? Who let you casually enter someone else’s office?”
“Hehe.”
Greg Jensen, with an embarrassed grin, simply chuckled, then turned to lock the office door before quickly approaching Lois Abbott. Without waiting for her to react, he wrapped his arms around her small head and kissed her.
“Don’t… mmm…”
Lois Abbott had intended to put up a symbolic resistance to let Greg Jensen know of the anger in her heart, but while her mouth said no, her body was very honest.
In mere moments, her body melted like mud, softening into Jensen’s arms.
“Have you missed me during all this time?” Greg Jensen asked cheerily.
Lois Abbott rolled her eyes and huffed, “I don’t miss you, not one bit!”
“Really? Let me check!”
“Ah, don’t…”
“Still saying you don’t miss me!”
“Mmm…”
It had been a long time since the two had seen each other, and like dry tinder to flame, they ignited passionate sparks.
At this moment, all grievances and sorrow were burnt to ashes.
After some time, the storm calmed down.
Greg Jensen looked at Lois Abbott with a mischievous grin, “Hey hey, still mad at me?”
“Hmph, I am mad!”
Lois Abbott’s lips claimed anger, but a beautiful smile curved up involuntarily.
“Oh, still mad?”
Greg Jensen’s feigned surprise looked comical, drawing a burst of laughter from Lois Abbott.
He winked and said with a roguish smile, “Looks like I didn’t try hard enough!”
Lois Abbott was taken aback, and just as she thought to escape, Greg Jensen pulled her back. Sensing her tired body, she became frantic, hastily saying:
“Stop messing around, let’s talk business first.”
“What business? We don’t have any business, haha.”
As Lois Abbott saw herself about to fall prey to him again, she quickly straightened her face and coldly huffed, “If you keep this up, I’ll be REALLY mad.”
Seeing her icy expression, Greg Jensen couldn’t tell if she was serious. To avoid provoking his ‘madame’, he reluctantly let her go.
“Fine, what’s this important business you want to talk about?”
“What exactly are you thinking regarding the supermarket in the city?”
Greg Jensen paused for a moment, then said with an easy smile, “I haven’t really thought much about it. If you want to keep running a supermarket, then let’s open two in Jamae City.
If you prefer to have some leisure, then as for that supermarket, whoever wants to run it can have it.”
Hearing this, Lois Abbott couldn’t help but roll her eyes again and coldly snorted, “Who does business like that? You need to have a plan, right?”
“Haha, you make the plans. I’ll do what I love,” he said.
“Ah, you’re really…”
Don’t move…”
…
In the Simmons family estate in the province’s capital.
Mick Simmons and Donald Simmons were sitting in the living room, looking at pictures on a tablet computer.
After a moment, Donald Simmons suddenly looked up, his face beaming with joy, “Didn’t expect the Locke family to bring us such a surprise.”
Seeing the Fragrant Spirit Grass in the pictures, Mick Simmons was also pleased, nodding with a smile, “Yeah, it turned out to be somewhat useful.”
He flipped through the pictures on the tablet carefully and said with a grin, “With this Fragrant Spirit Grass, we should be able to exchange for a Nine Revolutions Muscle Changing Pill.”
“We’ll definitely be able to exchange for it!” Donald Simmons nodded emphatically.
At that moment, Fraser Simmons, the Simmons family patriarch, was wheeled into the room in his wheelchair.
Seeing the smiles on the faces of the two brothers, he asked with curiosity, “What’s got you so cheerful this early in the day?”
Donald Simmons chuckled, walked over with the tablet, and said, “Uncle, you’ve come at the perfect time. Take a look at this. What’s this?”
“Is this… Fragrant Spirit Grass?”
Fraser Simmons, nearly sixty, a master of the Late Dark Gold Stage, had suffered damaged meridians due to a forced attempt to reach the Complete Dark Power level.
With sustained internal injuries from a lifetime of practicing martial arts, he had now become disabled, destined to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
And the Nine Revolutions Muscle Changing Pill could not only treat various meridian injuries but also had the effect of enhancing one’s martial strength.
