Chapter 554 Learned His Lesson

Indeed, the owner of that voice was none other than Alex.

Ultimately, how could he possibly allow Stuart the opportunity to sneak away?

He had initially let the man off the hook earlier, but he couldn't easily do so anymore since the latter had a death wish and wanted Haruko to cripple him.

As it so happened that they were also business rivals who stood on opposing sides, he planned to teach him an unforgettable lesson that day so that he wouldn't dare challenge him anymore in the future.

In a flash, Stuart snapped his head back and looked at Alex. He tremblingly pleaded, "M-Mr. Jefferson, that was all a misunderstanding. Haruko insisted on picking trouble with you and even duped me of a hundred million. I had no choice either. Please spare me..."

Nodding, Alex remarked with a smile, "Sure, I can spare you. Didn't I also spare you in the auction house earlier?"

Speaking of that, he eyed the man and drawled, "However, you should know what you ought to do if you want me to do so. I don't need to teach you that again, do I?"

Recalling that even Jetroina's Cardinal Amazon wasn't Alex's match and had her hand broken by the man besides having written him an IOU, Stuart finally realized that he couldn't possibly do anything to him. based on the current situation.

As such, he dropped to his knees with a thud without an ounce of hesitation and tearfully begged, "I'm sorry, Lord Jefferson! Please have mercy on me and forgive your humble servant!"

Stunned, Alex exclaimed, "Whoa! You're actually so tactful now?"

When he previously coerced Stuart to get on his knees and beg him, it was with threats. The man only did so because he had no other recourse.

Right then, he had just uttered a single remark, yet Stuart had already gone to his knees. That had astonishment washing over him.

With a bitter smile, Stuart admitted, "Frankly speaking, Lord Jefferson, your humble servant has learned his lesson. Please spare me!" Seeing that, Alex chuckled and commented, "Okay, since you've got such strong self-awareness, I'll spare you today."

He indeed wanted to cripple Stuart at first, but he never expected the man to be so spineless and shameless to beg him on his knees. Since the man had done as much, it would be petty of him to continue with his initial plan.

After saying that, he went into the car with Auriel and sped away.

Everyone there gazed at Stuart in contempt and ridiculed him.

Good heavens! He's really a coward! Is this really the heir of the Nixon family and chairman of Ivy Media Group? In just a brief time, he had kneeled before a live-in son-in-law and addressed him as Lord twice! What's more, he's even a senior executive of the renowned Penguin Group and chairman of its branch office, Ivy Media. How mortifying!
