?Chapter 3294 Jean Is A Hopeless Fool


    "Jean!" Percy shouted angrily. "If you dare try anything reckless, you''ll be spending the rest of your life in prison."


    Fear and panic shed in Jean''s eyes when he heard the word prison.


    He had endured unbearable torment during his years behind bars, all because of Luke and Bianca!


    "My boys are here today to make sure I get justice. What''s the matter? You think you can scare me with prison threats? If you really want to go that route, I''ll hold a press conference and tell everyone how Luke stole my fiancée, then expose how he cheated after stealing her!"


    Jean spoke confidently, thinking this would pressure Luke.


    What an idiot!


    Percy secretly cursed Jean as he listened to him.


    He had considered stepping in to help, knowing that Jean was Nina''s brother. After all, there would be no mercy once Luke made a move. Unfortunately, Jean was a hopeless fool, and there was no way to save him.


    Percy decided to stay quiet.


    Luke calmly pulled out his phone, which made Jean alert. He thought Luke was calling the police. Instead, he heard Luke say into the phone, "Come out."


    Suddenly, they all heard movement behind them.


    Jean turned around to see several people approaching from different directions. Jean and his group were soon surrounded.


    Even though the number of neers matched their group, it was clear these were not people to mess with.


    The leader of the thugs felt a shiver run down his spine. "Uh, Jean, what''s going on?" "What''s there to be afraid of? If they hit you, we''ll call the cops!" Jean snapped.


    The leader of the thugs was dumbfounded for a moment.


    Call the cops after getting beaten up? Were they not here to do the beating? Those guys look way tougher than them! There was no way they could take them!


    "Uh, Jean, maybe we shouldn''t get physical. If we end up in the hospital, that''s just more trouble," replied the leader, sensing things were going wrong and trying to reason with Jean.


    "No way! I''m getting my revenge today! Don''t worry. If anyone gets hurt, I''ll cover your medical bills," insisted Jean. He refused to back down.


    The leader heaved a sigh when he saw that Jean was determined to dig his own grave. He was


    not about to go down with him.


    Besides, he had already figured out that there was no way Jean was getting money from Percy, let alone scam Luke. There was zero chance of that happening!


    "Jean, if you''re dead set on this, we won''t be sticking around." Then, the leader shot a look at his crew. "If anyone wants to stay and help Jean out, feel free to do so. If not, let''s go."


    The other thugs quickly left, knowing they could not take on Luke''s men.


    The sound of motorcycles starting up filled the air as all the thugs rode off.


    "Guys!" Jean clenched his teeth angrily. He did not expect Luke to scare them off with just a few men.


    "Luke!" Jean''s eyes burned with anger as he red at him.


    Luke''s expression remained indifferent. "Your men are gone. Are you still nning to stay?" Jean could feel everyone''s eyes on him. All the pressure was now squarely on his shoulders. Luke added calmly, "If you want to fight, go ahead. I''ll even cover your medical bills." "You!" Jean was so furious he could not string a sentence together.


    "You came here for money, right? If you get beaten to the point of being crippled, you''ll get even more money," added Luke.


    Jean was not dumb. He wanted money, but he valued his life more. What good would money do him if he ended up crippled? He would not be able to live the high life he craved.


    "Jean." Anna tugged at Jean''s sleeve, feeling the mounting tension.


    They hade so confidently, yet things had turned against them. She nced around at the menacing crowd, fearing their fists would soonnd on her. Then, her breathing grew shallow. This was not a scene she could handle.


    "Don''t worry, Mom. They won''t dare touch us!" Jean reassured her, and then he immediately turned to look at Nina. "You''re just going to stand there while your brother''s being bullied? Are you even human?"


    Nina, clearly annoyed, shot back, "Who''s bullying you?"


    Jean was about to retort when she continued, "This isn''t the Langdon family''s home, it''s Crawford Manor. You showed up here looking for trouble, and now, you''re saying you''re being bullied? Did you get hit so hard your brain stopped working?"


    "You little brat, how dare you talk to me like that?!" Jean was furious and barely held himself back from pping her.


    Anna chimed in, "Nina, that''s your brother! How can you speak to him that way?"All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "I don''t have a mother, and I don''t have a brother. My father is in another city. Don''t randomly im to be my family next time. And as for money? Did you even read the


    agreement you signed? Watch your words and actions, or one day, you might find yourself in court without even realizing it."


    Jean''s expression darkened. "What do you mean by that?"


    Nina remained silent.


    Jean turned to Anna. "Did you even read the agreement when you signed it?"


    "Of course, I did,” replied Anna.


    "What does she mean, then?" Jean pressed.


    "I... I don''t know!" Anna began to doubt herself. Did she miss something in the agreement?


    No, she had reviewed it carefully, especially anything involving money.


    She was not some clueless woman who did not understand these things...


    Jean started feeling uneasy, suspecting that Percy had tricked Anna. He itched to go home and double-check the agreement.


    "We should leave," said Jean, realizing that staying longer would not get them any money. Besides, with his crew gone, he had no leverage left.


    "Hold on." Luke''s cold voice stopped him.


    Jean paused and squinted at Luke. "What do you want now?"


    "You insulted my wife. Don''t you think you owe her an apology?" Luke''s voice was cold.


    Jean felt a wave of fear wash over him. The way Luke looked at him was terrifying. It was as though a de would be at his throat any second.


    "When did I insult your wife? Stop making things up!" Jean decided to y dumb.


    "Jean, you said things you shouldn''t have!" Nina chimed in. When she heard Jean insult Bianca earlier, it bothered her too, and she wanted an apology on her behalf.


    Jean, ever the shameless scoundrel, sneered, "You''re just saying that. Do you have any


    evidence?"


    Percy pointed upward.


    Jean followed his gesture and saw a high-tech surveince camera. The look on his face immediately changed.


    "If he pursues this in court, you''ll owe money. Do you have any to spare?" questioned Percy.


    Jean''s expression turned sour. His sister and her husband were siding with an outsider!


    These so-called family members did not care about him at all.


    "Percy, Nina, you two are something else!" Jean shouted angrily. Then, he cast a reluctant


    nce at Luke. "I''m sorry."


    "I can''t hear you," Luke replied coldly.


    Jean clenched his teeth and raised his voice. "I said, I''m sorry!"
