Chapter 761

Young men could never stand being provoked by another.

Tyler’s words made Sawyer say, “My brother-in-law is the district mayor here! He’s the husband of my blood sister! I’m warning you, you’d better stop now while you can! Quit acting like you’re all that!”

Sawyer looked smug and arrogant as he spoke, the annoying look on his face giving Anne the urge to smack him hard.

Rachel was much calmer in comparison. “Have you heard that the heavens will punish the proud?”

“I’ve never heard of that and don’t wish to, either. I’m proud, so what? Lady, just think about it. What’s so bad about being with me? My brother-in-law is the district mayor, while my sister is a bank chief. Just look at how impressive my family background is. Any woman would want to be with me, yet here you are, being choosy. I can forget it if you really don’t want to be with me, but why are you picking on me?”

The things Sawyer said and did were truly disgusting.

However, Rachel seemed to take on a different perspective this time and felt pity for him instead.

Tyler rubbed his nose bridge. He said with a smirk, “You should start mourning for your sister and brother-in-law, then. Very soon, they’ll be out of jobs and under investigation.”

Most people working in banks weren’t innocent to begin with. This couple was bound to be in cahoots with each other, what with one being a bank chief and another a district mayor.

Sawyer’s eyes widened as he snarled, his voice a pitch higher, “Do you think I’m boasting? I can call my brother-in-law right now! But you’d better think this through. Give me these two women, and I can spare you. We’ll return them once we have our fun. Don’t blame me if you want to have this the hard way!”

Tyler clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking as he did so.

“Quit talking nonsense. Call that all-powerful brother-in-law of yours here, or I might not be able to stop myself from beating you up again soon.”

Sawyer didn’t expect this man to continue acting so arrogantly even after mentioning who his sister and brother-in-law were.

Full of himself, he pointed at Tyler and said, “Very well! I’ll see for myself how capable you really are. Just you wait!”

Sawyer immediately called his brother-in-law, his tone filled with self-pity.

“Jeremy, someone just bullied me! He sent two women under his wing to seduce me, and he’s flat out denying it right now. He even beat me up at the police station just now!”

“What did you say? Who is it? I’d like to see who’s bold enough to beat you up! Wait for me, I’ll be there right away!” Jeremy roared.

Sawyer didn’t forget to sniffle loudly. “Okay, Jeremy.”

Rachel looked at Sawyer with disgust. She thought only women were capable of being two-faced, but she finally saw for herself that there were men capable of being just as disgusting.

Anne, especially, was starting to get worried upon hearing that Sawyer’s brother-in-law was the district mayor, since they were in a foreign land. She understood the principle that even powerful outsiders may not be able to overcome local bullies.

She initially didn’t expect Sawyer’s relative to be the district mayor. She wouldn’t have been so worried if they were in Yurelia City, but they were now on another man’s territory.

If this man really had something against them and accused them of deliberately causing trouble, it may bode ill for them.

She didn’t want to be held in a police station when they were supposed to be here on a business trip!

That was the worst outcome. She didn’t want to see it happen!

Anne tugged the hem of Tyler’s shirt and whispered into his ear, “Why don’t we just forget about it? I’m fine, anyway. If he really calls his district mayor brother-in-law here, it might get troublesome for us.”
