Chapter 272 I Hate Them (Part One)

Jackson and Derek returned to the military's residential compound very late that night, and when Derek arrived, he saw that Selina was sitting on the couch and watching TV. He then went over to her, and seriously said, "Selina, come to the study with me, we need to have a talk."

"What's up? Can't we talk about it here?" casually said Selina.

"It's business, " said Derek, as he walked towards the study.

After Selina heard the word "business", she rushed to follow Derek into the study.

As soon as they were in the study, Selina nervously asked, "Derek, what happened?"

"Selina, we need to talk about the JS Group's severe crisis, " carefully said Derek.

"Crisis?" Selina was stunned and repeated his word. She said, "Currently, our business runs pretty well. I haven't seen a crisis coming."

Derek didn't give her a straightforward answer, and carefully asked, "Selina, have you heard about the ZM Group?"

"Of course, I know that it's also running very well. I always kept an eye on its development, but I would have never thought that it would develop so rapidly, and I also don't know its president, Mond Xu. Who is he anyway?" Selina thought of Mond Xu, and wondered how had he managed to successfully develop the ZM Group so fast.

"Selina, I have to tell you something, " said Derek. He paused and thought for a moment, and then continued to say, "Mond Xu actually wants to go against Jackson. The ZM Group's sole existence is to bring down the JS Group."

"But why? Do Mond Xu and Jackson know each other?" It then suddenly occurred to Selina what had happened at her office a couple of days ago. On that day, both Jackson and Derek had come to her office, and Derek had rebuked her severely. She had wondered what was wrong with him, and now it turned out that Mond Xu and Jackson had known each other all along.

"Yes, they do. Actually, Mond Xu is...", but Derek stopped, and after he thought for a second, he decided to keep some of the information about Mond hidden from his sister. He gloomily continued to say, "An acquaintance of Jackson's. They had some m

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex. To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him. "As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses.”She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women...

"Selina, do what we've discussed. If you have any difficulties, call me and Jackson and we'll solve them together, " said Derek.

Selina still had some doubts, and couldn't help but ask her brother, "But if the JS Group fails with the overseas development, does Jackson have another plan to resist the ZM Group's expansion?"

"Yes, he has, but it might completely ruin the ZM Group at an unimaginable price. Jackson won't use it because innocent people would be involved in it and get hurt, " answered Derek. "The plan won't be carried out unless it's unavoidable, otherwise the most dreadful of consequences might be produced."

"Brother, is Mond Xu really such a badass guy?" continued Selina to ask.

Derek had no idea how to answer her question. He thought for a moment, and eventually said, "Mond Xu is the type of character that would use unimaginable cruel means to achieve his goals. He has no bottom lines."

Selina was a bit taken aback by his answer, and thought to herself, 'Is Mond Xu actually that terrifying?'

Derek added, "Selina, don't underestimate him; one day, you might also personally witness his ruthlessness. He's different from Jackson; Jackson might be bossy sometimes, but he still abides to his strict principles, while Mond cares about nothing. There's nothing in this world which he doesn't dare to ruin if he thinks that it's in his advantage to do so."
