Chapter 231: Begging for Trouble
Leyton paused his rant when Sandy informed him Jared had summoned him. He planned to feign ignorance, lower Jared's guard, and later repay the humiliation tenfold.
After confirming the address with Sandy, Leyton immediately went to Meadow Restaurant.
Sandy returned to her seat and quietly told Jared, "He'll be here soon."
Jared appeared indifferent, but Leroy smirked, jeering, "Go on with your act. When Mr. Scott arrives, you'll be crying!"
Jared sneered, "We'll see about that. You'll be crying later!"
"What did you say? I'll cry? I'll make you cry!" Leroy yelled, grabbing a wine bottle.
Alarmed, Sandy screamed, "Leroy, are you mad? Put that down!"
"Sandy, why are you so scared of Jared? He learned a few things in prison, but this is Mr. Lewis's turf. He won't dare—" Leroy approached Jared menacingly. "Think you're so great, huh? Since you broke Warrick's leg, let's see if you dare touch me!"
Slap!
Jared slapped Leroy, knocking out two teeth and swelling his cheek.
Jared taunted, "I've never had someone offer themselves up for a slap. Was it comfortable? Another go?"
Leroy was likely concussed.
Pamela rushed to Leroy's side, asking, "Oh my god, Leroy. Are you okay?"
Virgil anxiously exclaimed, "Jared, how could you hit him? We're in trouble!"
Their classmates, equally shocked, reprimanded Jared.
"What the heck, Jared? How could you slap Leroy?"
"We're ex-classmates! No need for violence!"
"You're dead meat!"
Bam!
Jared slammed his hands on the table, breaking a piece off. Silence fell.
Jared's gaze swept the room. "Did you all conveniently miss Leroy practically begging for a beating?"
Uncomfortable silence followed.
Sandy broke the silence, "He's right! Leroy asked for it. How could you accuse Jared?"
Their classmates were perplexed by Sandy's behavior.
Leroy, regaining his senses, glared at Sandy then Jared. "You hit me! You won't leave this room in one piece!"
He stumbled toward the door to find Benji.
Virgil panicked, tugging Jared's sleeve. "Jared, apologize! Let's leave!"
Jared smiled, "Sit tight, Virgil. I'll give you a precious opportunity today!"
As Leroy reached the door, Leyton entered, huffing.
Leroy's demeanor changed instantly. He greeted Leyton effusively, "Mr. Scott, we've been waiting! Please, sit!"
Their classmates joined in flattering Leyton.
Leyton ignored them, briefly glancing at Sandy before finding Jared. He jumped slightly and approached him.
