Chapter 734
Joe panicked when he met Ockham’s cold gaze. Perspiring and his back drenched in a cold sweat, Joe could feel his
heart thumping wildly.
Joe knew it was over for him.
Everything was over for him.
Joe knew he was doomed if Ockham found out he had been bribed. He also knew he faced the possibility of being
jailed for bribery.
He quickly thought of something and explained, “Mr. Ockham, it’s a misunderstanding. This is all a
misunderstanding. Haylan said this so that I’ll release‘ him.”
While escorting Haylan back, Joe stopped by the bank and wrote a check for more than 200 thousand dollars to be
transferred into his account.
Joe knew he was finished if Ockham were to investigate.
As he explained, Joe quickly bent down to pick up the key and smiled at Haylan. “Mr. Jaber, I’ll unlock your handcuffs

you now.”
After saying that, Joe quickly walked to Haylan and personally unlocked Haylan’s handcuffs. As he opened the
handcuffs, Joe whispered, “Mr. Jaber, I’ll agree to your conditions. Don’t tell anyone about what I did, okay?”
Joe was panicking now.
He knew Ockham would pursue the matter to the end if Haylan insisted.
Even if Ockham did not pursue the matter, Joe would never feel at peace in this lifetime with Ockham having dirt
about him.
For now, Joe only wanted to ensure Haylan would not reveal his secrets. He would make his other plans later.
“I told you you’ll regret it. Do you believe me now?” Haylan asked.
Joe’s expression turned even uglier.
Not only did Joe regret his decision, he desperately wished he could turn back time.
He would never have dared treat Haylan the way he had if he had known Haylan was related to Ockham.
“Shit! Bernard, I’m in this mess because of you!” Joe silently cursed in his heart.
Outwardly, however, he smiled as he answered Haylan, “Of course. Yes, I believe you. I believe you now.
“So, can you please be magnanimous and let me off?”
“Slap!”
As soon as Joe finished speaking, Haylan slapped him.
The massive force of the slap knocked Joe to the ground, and a handprint appeared on his face. Soon after, Joe’s
face quickly became swollen as a sliver of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. Joe felt a burning pain on his
face.
Everyone’s expression changed seeing the scene before them.
Even Ockham was stunned.
No one expected Haylan to slap Joe so directly and without any warning.
“Haylan, you…
Covering his wounded face, Joe stood up and glared at Haylan angrily.
“Slap!”
Haylan slapped Joe’s face again and said coldly, “That slap just now was for discriminating against us, the citizens of
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLonghard Kingdom.
“This slap is for disregarding the law and human life and being greedy.”
“Haylan, don’t push your luck. Do you really think I’m scared of you?”
Pace red from Haylan’s slaps, Joe gritted his teeth and glared at Haylan.
“Slap!”
Haylan awarded Joe with another slap, causing Joe to fall to the ground. Haylan said coldly, “This slap is for your
arrogant and despotic attitude.”
