Divorce, Please: The Young Master Does Not Love Me

Chapter 546: Chapter 546: Mika Summers VS Tristan Grayson (46)

But she still couldn’t forget. Even though things had improved between her and Jason Lockwood recently, one fact remained unchanged. "So, can your little office fling have your children, too?"

"If you want one, you can have one!" He had always taken precautions before, but that was only because he hadn’t truly secured his position at the top. Now, with all the power about to be transferred into his hands, he no longer had anything to hold him back.

As they were speaking, the stepfather who had just left returned. This time, however, he had shed his delivery uniform. He walked in, calm and composed, nodded at Jason Lockwood, and then went to Jasmine Warren’s side to take Rory back.

Although Jasmine Warren was dead set against it, afraid the little princess would be abused, she had no other choice. He was the stepfather, after all. She could protect Rory for a moment, but not forever.

But before Jasmine Warren could hand the child to the man, a sound suddenly erupted from outside—a gunshot! It was followed by a series of terrified screams.

BANG! BANG!

"AHHH!!!"

...When Jason Lockwood heard the commotion outside, a flicker of surprise crossed his eyes, but he showed no other emotion. It was as if he had expected it all along.

Jasmine Warren, who had never been so terrified, hugged Rory tightly and cowered against the sofa. "Jason Lockwood, what’s going on out there?"

Hearing her, a cold smile touched Jason Lockwood’s lips. Calmly, he pulled a small, custom-made handgun from a drawer. It was so small you could barely see it when he clenched it in his fist.

It was about the size of a cigarette pack.

He toyed with the handgun, a cold smirk on his lips, looking infuriatingly nonchalant as if it all had nothing to do with him.

This was especially aggravating for Jasmine Warren, who desperately needed Jason Lockwood’s protection. To see this jerk in the mood to play with a toy gun—she was about to lose her mind.

’He’s the boss, for crying out loud! Why isn’t he going out to see what’s happening? Judging by those sounds, something major has just gone down.’

Just then, a figure burst into the office. "This is bad, Baron! Archie Lockwood—he brought a group of men to cause trouble at the company! He opened fire and wounded one of our bodyguards!"

"Heh. Interesting. I didn’t think he’d actually dare to come." Of all the words spoken, Jason Lockwood only latched onto one part: Archie Lockwood had arrived.

Jason Lockwood slowly tucked the small handgun into his pocket and rose to his feet. His cold eyes glanced at the pale-faced woman, his brow furrowing slightly before he spoke. "Take Rory to the break room and stay there. Don’t come out without my order."

"Oh, okay. I get it. You be careful. If you can’t win the fight, I’ll come and help you," Jasmine said, forcing a calm expression and a faint smile.

"Heh..." The man, whose face had been grim, couldn’t help but lower his head and let out a soft chuckle.

Even though he knew she was just trying to provoke him, to appeal to his competitive nature, her words sent an inexplicable warmth through his heart that surprised even him for a moment.

As Jason Lockwood left the office, both his assistant and the man who had claimed to be the stepfather immediately followed.

The three of them took the private elevator directly down to the lobby. By then, a team of bodyguards in black suits had already intercepted the men Archie Lockwood had brought with him.
