Chad's and Matilda's divorce became outspread in Bloomington over the past two days.He heard many remarks of that such. Chad could not be bothered by those people and continued talking to the attendant."My reservation's at Sunny Winterland."After making verification, the attendant allowed Chad in. "Sir, this way please."As Chad was about to enter the restaurant, a handsome man stood before him."Don't go! Chad, I haven't seen my classmate for years. I wonder if you remember me!" "Sorry, I don't know you. Please get out of my way."Chad looked at the man and he was certain he did not know him."You may not know him. But I'm sure you know me!"Jojo walked up to the man and held his arm. "This is my boyfriend, Joe Willow. I'm sure you're no stranger to that name.""Joe Willow?"Suddenly, Chad recalled the man standing in front of him as the most handsome guy in Bloomington College.During their college years, Joe once pursued Matilda.However, Joe was a complete scumba
However, Chad remained silent, unwilling to explain anything. Bob also felt uninterested. He exchanged a glance with Joe, deciding to wait until more people arrived before teasing Chad. So Bob changed the subject. "Hey, have you heard? Danton from the Tatum Supreme Group has passed away!"Jojo was shocked. "How is that possible? I saw him yesterday."Joe chimed in, "Yeah! On our way here, Jojo mentioned she was discussing a partnership with Danton yesterday."Bob asserted confidently, "Is that so? But Danton died last night. My cousin is Gerard's secretary, so it is absolutely true."Now Jojo was unsettled. "No way! Why don't I remember anything?"How could she remember? Jojo woke up this morning and found herself already at the company.She asked Matilda how they got back. Matilda only mentioned that Bill from Sangrea Group gave them a ride back."Really? Could it be related to Danton's death… ""Stop that! Matilda and I were just discussing a partnership with Danton."Seei
"There's no Dr. Jennings here, but there's a Dr. Loser!" Joe joked as he glanced at Chad, feeling that Violet must have got the wrong place.Meanwhile, Bob saw that Violet's gaze had been on Chad since they entered the room. However, he could not believe it. After all, Chad was his college classmate. He was certain that Chad definitely was not any kind of 'doctor'! Moreover, back in college, only a few students took out student loans, and Chad was one of them. In the eyes of these people present, Chad back then was just a poor graduate without any family background!"Chad couldn't possibly be some kind of doctor. You must have come to the wrong place!""Hey, young lady, you're not looking for a Dr. Freeloader, are you?"The remark elicited laughter from the crowd. However, Violet ignored these remarks and went straight to Chad, speaking respectfully, "Dr. Jennings, Mr. Pulmano is waiting for you at the Golden Glasshouse. Please grace us with your presence."Everyone could not be
However, Bob could be certain that Violet was a cautious person. She could not possibly have mistaken the identity of the individual. So Bob confirmed that the 'Dr. Jennings' mentioned by Violet was indeed Chad. However, Bob had no intention of explaining it further. After all, it might only make things worse to delve into it. It was better to just admit to it.When he had the chance, he would ask his cousin Violet about it and naturally learn the truth."Haha, my apologies! I didn't expect you all to be so perceptive and see through my little trick. Dinner tonight is on me!" Bob laughed heartily, decisively owning up to the situation as he raised his glass."It seems I was right. You've been using Chad to hype up your internet celebrity status!" Jojo said proudly with a cold smirk."I shouldn't have shown off in front of you, Jojo. I'll drink to that!" Bob complimented, raising his glass and finishing its contents in one gulp.With that, the atmosphere lightened up again, with
The night was beautiful with its serene scene. A stone table sat under an old tree by the fence, a tranquil stream flowing through the small garden, all illuminated by the gentle glow of the full moon reflecting off the river. However, despite the picturesque setting, an unsettling air lingered in the atmosphere.Alexander's face, marred with the stains of death, twisted into a grotesque grin. The eerie scent in the air masked the stench of decay.Chad took a deep breath, composed as he stepped into the courtyard, casting a cold gaze at Harry and Robert."You have rather peculiar tastes, dining with corpses," he remarked coolly.Robert narrowed his eyes slightly, his left fingers swiftly moving in circles. Alexander stiffly rose from his seat, retreating to the dark corner of the garden."You have keen eyes to be able to spot my freshly crafted masterpiece!" Robert exclaimed.Chad glanced in the direction where Alexander had disappeared, then seated himself at the stone table in
"Using humans as parasite puppets, those who have just been initiated are called Parasite Emperors, while those who have reached the peak are known as Parasite Masters!"Harry nodded solemnly to the few individuals in the room. The few silently vanished into the night, secretly trailing behind Chad."Darren, that wild bastard, didn't die. He will definitely inform that Jennings kid about what happened. Whether to kill him or not is no longer important, the key is to pass the message to the Mystic Pavillion!" Harry said gravely, picking up his phone to make a call.With a raise of Robert's left hand, Alexander, who was kneeling on the ground, stood up, ecstatic. "It's time to act! This time, it can't be just a warning like ten years ago. I think there won't be anyone opposing it anymore."Exiting the courtyard, Chad finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then, his fingers moved swiftly, dancing on Fentanyl's back, delivering a series of continuous clicks.Accompanied by a crisp sound o
"Damn, that's some serious pretentious talk. You haven't stepped out of character yet, have you?""Yeah, he really thinks he's some kind of master. Chad is wasting his talent not being an actor."Chad's words provoked mockery from the crowd.Jojo sneered and said, "Chad, you're truly worthless. Without Matilda, you're nothing!""Who says Chad is worthless? Three years ago, Chad saved the old man of the Hart family in Rivervale!" Fentanyl could not bear it and wanted to defend Chad."Hahaha!"To everyone's surprise, that remark prompted a burst of laughter, with Joe even shedding tears from laughing so hard."Just because Chad saved someone from the Hart family, does that mean he's a miracle doctor?"Fentanyl glared, furious. "He's way more impressive than a miracle doctor. You all have no idea how skilled Chad is in medicine!"At that moment, a short figure emerged from the crowd, holding a female alumna he had flirted with at the banquet, and asked, "Is that so? Chad, if you'
"Impossible!" At that moment, Joe clapped his hands while laughing heartily. "I almost fell for it! Bob, this must be your doing, right? You actually want to turn Chad into an internet sensation!"Fentanyl immediately became anxious. "What do you mean Bob's doing? Who does he think he is to arrange anything for Chad?"However, the more Fentanyl reacted strongly, the more Joe felt like it was all just a 'performance'!So much so that Joe even gave Fentanyl a thumbs up, admiringly saying, "I must say, your acting is really good. The emotional manipulation, if you encountered a good director, you could definitely make it big!""Hey, Bob, you're not being fair! We're having a gathering, and you're using this opportunity for your own gain, that's not right!""Yeah! How about for the second half, we make Bob foot the bill too!"Bob was truly feeling aggrieved. He wanted to say that none of this was his doing. However, he still put on a smile and said, "Alright, I'll treat everyone in
