Chapter 685
Chapter 685:
“Sort it out yourself,” Janice responded, her voice steady, her demeanor unruffled by the advancing threats.
Despite being cornered, she was calm. Could it be that she had a countermeasure in mind? This realization steadied Vernon.
“Vernon, I need you to handle something,” Janice instructed.
“What’s that?”
“Go outside and provoke them. Be as bold as you can.”
A look of dismay crossed Vernon’s face as he realized what was asked of him. It felt like he was being sent straight into trouble.
“Get out!” Jorge marched forward, his glare sharp as he fixed his gaze on the people in the car.
Click.
The car door swung open.
Vernon stepped out, sunglasses on, his head held high, and his chest puffed out.
Jorge’s brow furrowed as he sized Vernon up from head to toe.
Vernon wore a bold outfit—a floral shirt paired with a suit—perfectly put together and undeniably flashy. His appearance exuded a daring, sophisticated charm, but there was something about his presence that commanded attention, making Jorge feel uneasy.
In Cloverhill, Jorge’s fierce reputation was legendary. With his gang surrounding the car, most would have trembled in fear. But Vernon stood firm, his composure unwavering, and even seemed to radiate arrogance.
“I’m out here now. What of it?” Vernon flicked his sunglasses down slightly, just enough to meet Jorge’s eyes, his gaze challenging.
“Wow, such attitude,” Jorge sneered, snapping his fingers at his bodyguard.

Without hesitation, the bodyguard handed him a baton. Jorge grabbed it and pointed it at Vernon.
“You didn’t just fail to move earlier, but you also tried to run me over. Are you asking for trouble?”
“Looking for trouble?” Vernon scoffed, spitting on the ground as he folded his arms defiantly. “It seems to me you’re the one causing problems! How dare you block my path? I’ll drive right through you, no matter who you are!”
The bystanders watched anxiously, sensing the danger Vernon was in. His arrogance was impossible to ignore, especially when faced with someone like Jorge, whose ruthless methods were well-known across Cloverhill.
Few had ever dared to confront Jorge so boldly. Did Vernon have some significant influence?
Yet, no one seemed to recall any such person with the courage to challenge Jorge. After all, someone with so much audacity would likely be famous by now.
On the surface, Vernon maintained an air of calm and defiance, but inside, he was a bundle of nerves.
If not for his strong self-control and the backing of JE, his knees would probably have been shaking uncontrollably.
Jorge laughed, though his eyes began to betray a storm brewing within him. “I’ve roamed Cloverhill for years, yet I’ve never encountered anyone like you. Speaking so boldly to me, as if you’re seeking trouble. Beat him up! And if he dies, just dispose of him.”
“Let’s see who has the guts!” Vernon felt a surge of fear, but he shouted sharply, his defiance unwavering.
