Chapter 232 Can’t You Handle It?
“Mr. Hansen is right. How about… we have a few more
activities?”
Jason quickly noticed the sparks flying between Byron and Lucas and saw the cut on Byron’s l*ps.
He instantly understood what had happened.
When the cut on Byron’s l*ps appeared after he and Cora
entered the grove, Jason figured Byron had failed to achieve
his intention.
Seeing the intense gaze exchange between Byron and Lucas,
he became even more certain of his earlier speculation.
It seemed that Byron didn’t get what he wanted, and naturally, he didn’t want Lucas to get it either.
Preventing something from happening between a man and a woman was easy. What about exhausting one of them physically?
Therefore, Jason suggested a group game involving family members, forming groups of five people, and each group had to do a thousand push-ups.

He deliberately assigned Lucas to the group with the most girls so that he had to do more push-ups.

“If a group of five can’t complete a thousand push-ups, then its members will have to sleep outside tonight.”
When Jason announced the rules, the girls began to complain.
“Come on. This is a rainforest! Although it’s artificial, there
are still many bugs and snakes out there. It’s not safe to sleep
outside.”
“Yes, and the simulated rainforest system here frequently causes rain. There’s no way we can sleep outside.”
But their complaints were quickly silenced by Jason’s decisive words. “Only with such cruelty can I get you all to actively finish a thousand push-ups and also remind you not to neglect your daily exercise.”
Although he sounded tough, Jason was still somewhat guilty as he glanced at Lucas.
He had a good relationship with Lucas and admired him, and of course, he was happy for Lucas when he got a girlfriend.
However, now the investor was interested in Lucas’ girlfriend.

He had no choice but to abet evil deeds because now not only his career but even his love life and marriage were under the
control of this Mr. Moneybags.
Yet Jason didn’t expect Lucas seemed to have seen through his collusion with Byron, and he even suggested, “In that case, Mr. Hansen, why don’t you join this activity as well?”
Byron didn’t respond, only giving Lucas a cold look.
Jason felt overwhelmed. “Mr. Quinn, Mr. Hansen is just an investor. He doesn’t need to participate in our team activities.”
As he spoke, Jason kept winking at Lucas, hinting to him that Byron was not someone to be trifled with and not to confront
him head-on.
However, despite Jason’s repeated hints, Lucas continued provoking Byron. Perhaps he had no way to retreat, or he had long been displeased with Byron.
“That’s true. Mr. Hansen is an investor and doesn’t have to join our team activities. But Mr. Woods, as you said, the purpose of this activity is to improve physical fitness. I just kindly suggest that Mr. Hansen should exercise more since I think he doesn’t
usually do much physical activity.”
His initial words still sounded polite, but then he got to the
point.

“Or is it that you can’t handle such high-intensity exercise, Mr.
Hansen? If that’s the case, then forget about it!”
“Mr. Quinn!” Jason was almost sweating.
He understood best that men hated being questioned about
their abilities.
So he worried that Lucas’ words would completely anger Byron.
But persuasion was useless because the next second, Byron coldly replied, “Who told you I can’t handle it?”
Then he glanced at Cora with a hidden intention.
Cora was speechless.
How awkward!
She didn’t want to get involved in their quarrel at all!
