Chapter 1049: Chapter 1049: Big Brother is Really Angry
Jordan Thompson ran and dialed Henry Thompson’s number at the same time.
"Big brother, save me, I feel like I’m not going to live much longer."
Henry was bewildered by these words. He hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Did you offend someone? Are you being chased by the mob?"
"It’s worse than the mob," Jordan stammered.
"Worse than the mob? What the hell did you do?" Henry’s voice grew stern.
Although Jordan was usually seen as irresponsible, the Thompson family’s upbringing was strict, and he was not expected to cause any serious trouble.
"Well... I got into trouble with my brother-in-law."
Right now, he wished he could have a time machine to go back to before he spat out those foolish words.
After a moment of silence on the other end, Henry spoke softly, "You didn’t tell Justin Battleson what I told you, did you?"
"You truly are my blood brother," Jordan sniffed.
"Damn it," but Henry didn’t hesitate to distance himself from Jordan.
"Big brother, you have to save me, what should I do now?" Jordan immediately pleaded.
"What did you tell Justin?" Henry sighed helplessly.
He had previously investigated some matters concerning Justin’s father at Charlotte’s request and had learned about some old feuds and conflicts of the Battleson family.
Such matters would leave others sighing in silence, let alone Justin, who was probably deeply affected.
Henry wished he had never told Jordan about it.
Jordan described in detail to Henry the slip of the tongue he had committed earlier, waiting for his wise elder brother to give him a lifeline.
"Forget it, what’s said is said, what can you do about it now?" Henry began resignedly, "Besides, Charlotte was actually hoping to use this matter to help Justin overcome his emotional hang-ups. He was bound to find out about this sooner or later."
"If that’s the case... I didn’t really make a mistake, right?" Jordan inquired tentatively, trying to swallow his heart back down.
But then Henry’s next sentence reeled him back in.
"You told him much too soon, though."
"I realize I was wrong," Jordan said sullenly.
"Enough, just stay out of those two’s business," Henry cut Jordan off.
"Oh right, big brother, I forgot to tell you, the Anne family went bankrupt," Jordan added when he remembered today’s events.
"The Anne family?" Henry murmured, but the news did not surprise him much.
He had already seen on the news that the Anne family’s business assets had begun to shrink significantly, which made Anne Group’s bankruptcy seem imminent.
"Big brother, you don’t know how insanely vicious Andrew Anne of the Anne family is! He actually tried to kill our sister!"
"He wouldn’t dare!" Henry’s tone immediately shifted.
Charlotte was their Thompson family’s untouchable, nobody was allowed to touch her!
"What exactly did Andrew Anne do? Tell me everything."
Of course, Jordan chose not to hide anything. The incident on the street today was bound to make a big commotion, and it wouldn’t be long before it showed up online.
Rather than have members of the Thompson family question him later, it was better to tell them now.
"The Anne family... good, they have no real talent but love to sling mud, and they dared to lay hands on Charlotte; I was wrong to have spared the Anne family in the past!"
Henry snorted coldly. Just by listening, he knew his big brother was truly angry.
