I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 377

Facing the burly bodyguards, he swallowed his curses, all his earlier arrogance about crippling Ryan gone.

"I know you didn't. I just felt like hitting you," Ryan said smugly, slapping him twice more.

Martin was so angry he nearly had an aneurysm.

Suddenly, Ryan grabbed Martin by the collar. His smile was roguish, but his eyes were ice-cold. "Let me tell you something. I really don't like you. You should be glad that slap didn't land on Zephyra's face. If it had, you'd be spending today in a jail cell, and I'd make sure you never got out."

Looking at the cold-eyed young punk, Martin felt a chill of fear.

Just then, I came out holding my mother's memorial tablet.

Ryan let go of Martin's collar.

If looks could kill, Martin would have murdered me a thousand times over. I walked up to him again, my eyes cold, and looked at the bright red handprints on his face.

I didn't have to guess. It was clearly the hot-blooded Ryan who had gotten revenge for me.

"You need money, right? I have money now. I don't need Steven. I can save the Jones family myself. I'll clear all your debts. But there are conditions."

Martin and Janice's expressions changed again. After exchanging a look, Martin forced a smile.

"I knew it. I knew Zephyra still cared about her father and the Jones family. As long as you're willing to help, whatever you want, your father will give it to you!"

Ryan pressed his lips together, looking at me in surprise.

I glanced at Martin, and seeing his fawning smile, a cold sneer touched my lips.

"First, transfer all of your shares to my name. I will protect your reputation and ensure people still respectfully call you Mr. Jones. Second, leave Ixia. I'll give you a sum of money as a buyout for our father-daughter relationship. It will be enough for you to live comfortably for the rest of your life. If you need to support a family, you'll have to find another job."

Martin and Janice's faces fell instantly.

Martin exploded. "Zephyra, how dare you covet my property at your age? I asked you to save the Jones family, not to steal it! If I give you everything, what will I have left? Get out! Get out right now! I'll act as if I never had a daughter. From now on, the Jones family has nothing to do with you!"
