The Apple of My Eye
Chapter 1728 Pay For Your Mistake

Black wasn't intimidated by Jason's threats at all. He had a grim look on his face as he pointed his finger at Jason.

After a while, the police arrived.

Jason acted like he had been badly beaten by Black.

"Officer, this man beat me up for no reason at all. Everyone saw it happen. My head hurts!" Jason wasn't acting like a man at all. Instead, he was acting like some nagging old woman who did nothing but whine.

As the police checked on his injuries, Jason kept complaining about Black. Black didn't say anything when the police took him away.

"All right. We'll inform you once we finish the investigation. You can rest for now. Whoever's responsible for this will pay your hospital bills," the police told Jason.

Jason nodded his head in satisfaction.

When the police were gone, Jason heaved a sigh of relief and stopped his acting. Then he called Ferry.

"Sir, Black almost beat me to death today!"

After he'd complained to the police, he started to do the same to Ferry, as if he wanted Ferry to know how much he'd suffered. The only thing missing was tears.

Ferry was drinking at a bar. When Jason started to complain over the phone, he rolled his eyes. The woman next to him noticed this and asked innocently, "Dear, what happened? Are you okay?" Ferry shot a cold glance at the woman.

The woman trembled in fear, as she suddenly felt the atmosphere go cold. In embarrassment, she got up and chose to sit somewhere else, far from Ferry, where she couldn't disturb him. Ferry coughed lightly as soon as the woman left.

This didn't slip by Jason. He knew what this meant, for it meant that Ferry was angry.

"Sir... I..."

"Jason, I sent you that woman so you could enjoy her, but I didn't know that you had no idea how to have fun with a woman!" Ferry exclaimed.

Jason was terrified upon hearing this. His heart skipped a beat, and his phone almost slipped. Luckily, he was able to catch it in time.

Taking a deep breath, Jason hesitated for a while and said, "Sir, I didn't mean to do that!"

"I know you didn't intend to do that. You're just silly. Black did that because he comes from a powerful family. That wasn't surprising. What surprised me was that you couldn't even win the fight against him! Don't you ever tell others that you're under my command! Shame on you!" Ferry said, full of contempt.

If Jason weren't in the hospital right now, he would have gotten down on his knees out of fear.

"Sir, from now on, I'll do what you tell me to do. I won't act on my own anymore!"

Jason realized that he had crossed the line. He hadn't been following Ferry's orders when it came to Holley and Black. No wonder Ferry had gotten mad at him! "Well, now that you know you've made a mistake? Disobeying my orders is strictly forbidden. You'll have to pay for your mistake. Are you aware of that?" Ferry said matter-of-factly.

"Sir, I'll do whatever you ask me to do!" Jason now deeply regretted calling Ferry. 'Why did I make this phone call? I had it coming!' he thought, blaming himself.

He had thought that Ferry would help him, but it had slipped his mind that he hadn't followed Ferry's orders.

The first time he had a confrontation with Black, Ferry had told him to beat Black up. Ferry ended up losing the fight and being badly beaten. Then Jason had used his injury to get Holley to do things for him. It drove Holley crazy, so she ran to Ferry for help. Holley had always been a coward. Whenever Ferry ran out of patience with her, she would just get down on her knees and apologize. It didn't matter to her what she exchanged for her survival, even if it was her pride.

It was Jason's fault that Black had been taken by the police, and this wasn't part of Ferry's plan. He just hoped that Ferry wouldn't get too angry at him for not following his orders at all.

"Glad to hear that you still know what you should do. Just stay in the hospital, and wait for my message. I'll call you if I need anything!"

After he finished speaking, Ferry hung up the call without waiting for Jason to respond.

Ferry's words still rung in his ears long after the call had ended. After a while, he finally snapped out of his daze and set the phone aside. Even this caused a piercing pain in his arm. He couldn't stop groaning. Though he was still angry, he figured that he really didn't need to whine to Ferry about it.

Ferry waved his hand as if to gesture for the woman to sit next to him again.

The woman immediately noticed that Ferry was in a better mood. She wrapped herself in Ferry's arms and asked sweetly, "Where are you taking me tonight?"

"Anywhere you want to go!" Ferry answered in delight.

After exchanging a glance with the woman, Ferry kept his arms wrapped around her as they made their way to leave the bar.

The bar was quite a noisy place. To exit, one needed to go through the crowded dance floor. It was so crowded that Ferry and the woman were immediately surrounded by all kinds of people on the dance floor. The woman started dancing, but Ferry didn't really feel like dancing. Frowning, he skimmed the surroundings and noticed a familiar figure.

'What is Holley doing here?' he pondered.

Ferry couldn't help but be curious. Smirking, he went to a quieter spot and made a call.

It didn't take long for his men to arrive.

"Sir, what do you need us to do?" his men asked as they all bowed to Ferry.

Ferry looked at where he had seen Holley with a sinister smile. His men followed his eyes and immediately saw Holley.

Then Ferry said, "Someone's trying to hide something, and the more she tries to hide, the more it deserves to get exposed in public."
