NovelTrueChapter 1263:
The tension was obvious. Anyone could tell—Jerdidn’t like him.
Kevin told his assistant to wait outside, then walked in with a folder in hand.
He approached the table. “I thought we agreed this would be just the two of us,” Kevin said, looking at Jesse and
Nina. His tone was even, but something in his eyes gave away his annoyance. “Why are they here?”
Jerdidn’t flinch. “So you can bring an assistant, but | can’t bring friends?” Jerome's voice was quiet, but his
tone was sharp.
Kevin sat down. In his perfectly tailored suit, he gave off a cold, unapproachable aura.
But Nina and Jesse were used to men like Ellis, Trent, and Alan. That kind of presence didn’t faze them at all.
“Friends are fine,” Kevin said evenly, though there was a chill in his tone. “But | don’t want anyone other than
your two friends hearing what I'm about to say.”
Jesse caught the implication right away and replied calmly, “Don’t worry. My uncle’s not here.”

Jesse suddenly piped up. “You want us to sign a confidentiality agreement or something?”
Anyone who knew Jesse would've caught the sarcasm in that. He was four. Everyone knew a kid signing anything

Jesse knew it too—and so did Kevin.
Kevin narrowed his eyes. “You're too young for anything you sign to hold up in court.”
Right after he said that, the room shifted. Jesse, Nina, and Jerall turned to look at him.
Jesse pointed toward the door, his big, bright eyes cold and sharp. “It's over there,” he said flatly. “You can leave
whenever you want.”
Kevin was momentarily speechless.

“| already said no,” Jeranswered flatly.
Kevin's gaze didn’t waver. “I wasn’t done.”
