After one retaliation after the other, Harold felt he was being severely humiliated, especially when it was in front of so many people.“I’m going to teach you a lesson so hard that you’ll realize just how weak and small you are in Medb!”Javier merely flicked the ash off of his cigarette in the face of a furious Harold. “I really have no idea how weak and small I am, but I do know how weak and small your mother was.”Harold was slightly stunned but instantly blew his top when he understood what Javier meant.He then waved his large hand, and the men inside the private room all rushed over and surrounded Javier in the middle.This was especially true for Thorin, who even held up a red wine bottle. ‘I’ve been waiting for this day to come for a very long time!’Javier looked at the people who were surrounding him with a smile. He genuinely could not be bothered to even criticize them for how they failed to realize just who they were dealing with.Javier had been following Mackenzi
Stone could not be bothered to explain what he had just done to cause Thorin’s confusion.Instead, he directly said to Harold, “Remember to clear up all of the debt you claimed you were going to settle before you get the f*ck out of here. You declared that all of the expenses here tonight would be on you, so go get it settled at the counter. If you don’t, I’ll make sure you have it settled at your house!”Stone was a member of the circle, so of course, he did not mean it when he said he would head up to Harold’s doorstep to settle his bill.Thus, as much as Harold was unhappy about his situation and how confused he was, he could only suppress the anger he felt and walk out of the room under the public’s gaze. Most importantly, he still had to pay off the expenses of everyone there that night, to which most of them had a hand in laughing at him.There was someone who was even shameless enough to head up to the counter!“Hey Harold, I’ll do you a favor. Get me ten bottles of Remy Ma
Countless people cheered and shouted Luca’s name in the bar. They were several times louder and stronger than the cheers for Harold earlier.Luca felt like he was energized upon hearing the cheers for his name. The tidal strength came from just one sentence by Javier. It felt addictive, and the gratitude was never before felt.Not only had Javier not held grudges against his recklessness back then, but he had also helped him up to such a high position from being a prodigal son.Luca gnashed his teeth as he made a silent resolution, determined to manage this shop properly and not let Javier’s trust in him down.A girl was hanging her head and looking disinterested among the partying crowd. It was Gigi. Her friends had come out for some fun with her tonight since they had noticed she was moody the past few days. It was unexpected that Gigi had spotted Javier, who was in the booth on the second floor during the night.She had been delighted, thinking she could go to Javier tonight an
Harold panicked. He felt fear overwhelm him. He knew that Javier was going to cripple him and he was not joking about it!Just as he was about to wail and beg, however, another voice spoke up, “Isn’t this going a little too far?”Lloyd Young was disgruntled. He had been ecstatic over the small progress he had made in a business deal he had negotiated tonight but when he was passing by the junction just now, his car got hit by a Bentley Bentayga. What was more infuriating was that there was no one driving the Bentayga.His chauffeur went down to check and said the front window on the left side was crushed while their Rolls-Royce Phantom had a dent at the front and the side airbag had deployed. When the chauffeur was getting out of the car, he had to use the passenger side too.It was ridiculous. They got hit by a car that was without a driver during the nighttime.His chauffeur later reported to him that two people were fighting up ahead. More precisely, someone was being beaten up
Javier did not even care that he had encountered Lloyd. He just thought that the guy was…all right, not as brainless as the other guys he had met previously. As for treating him like a serious opponent, Lloyd was far from it. It was not only that Javier was disdainful, he did not have such leisure time either.He was still occupied with finding news about his parents and he had to find a chance to find out about the Osborn Award from people in the show business. While he contemplated, he received a text. [I’m back. Luca said you came. Are you asleep?]Just when Javier wanted to get someone in the show business to answer his questions, Edelgard texted him. What a coincidence. Javier sent a “not yet” reply and the next moment, his phone rang. Edelgard was calling. Both of them chatted for a bit on the phone before Edelgard invited Javier for supper. “I just got off my flight and haven’t eaten anything. Let’s eat together!”Javier readily agreed as there was no way he would reject her
The jolt that went through her thigh rocked her senses. Edelgard shot a glare at Javier, though she did nothing else to stop him.“I’ve given this a lot of thought, Javier,” she said solemnly. “I’ve come to realize that my body is just used to your touch. My heart, though? It belongs to Pangani. Luca…is more my type than you are, if I’m being honest. And he’s going clean too. He’s turned pragmatic.“I know you’re more or less the same, but you only like me for what this body holds. What you like about me is sex and nothing more—because your heart belongs to Jade Odell,” she continued. “That makes us friends with benefits, Javier. At most, we’re best friends with benefits.”The corner of Javier’s lips twitched. “Well, that’s quite the analysis. So, now what?”Edelgard broke out a smile. “So here I am, standing here, telling you goodbye. I’ve decided to accept Luca’s confession and get together with him, so we can’t be caught doing this anymore, Javier. I don’t want to hurt him.”Ja
With regards to forming a film company, Chad would have had to consider and come up with plans and make preparations if it had been someone else.However, with Javier, it was a completely different matter. Chad knew better than anyone just how much resources the Kersey family had, which was why he very readily agreed to it. “But we haven’t got the professional staff required though. The setting and filming crew would be a simple matter, but we still need studio managers, directors, good scripts, and so on. We haven’t got experience in this field, so if we end up investing too much, we might end up with insufficient cash flow in the end.”Javier was not worried about Chad’s concerns at all. “That won’t be a problem. I’ve got the money, so we can directly hire the professional staff required. I want you to focus on the preparation, I’ll have the money transferred to you in a moment. I’ll go contact someone about this, so you don’t have to worry about it.”With both money and personn
While waiting, the female attendants from the company entered the house and poured glasses of water for Javier and the young man.Javier said his thanks and placed his cup on the table, where there was a vase of light pink rose with a shade of orange.The young man immediately became unhappy and threw his cup onto the floor.“Are you f*cking blind? Can you not recognize this rose? That’s the Juliet Rose, said to be the king of all roses. Just that bouquet alone cost around 150 thousand dollars, so do you think you’d be able to pay for it if the rose ends up being damaged by the heat from your cup just because you placed it next to it?!”Javier did not say a word, but the female attendant was shocked senseless. “Are you kidding me? Is this bouquet really that expensive?!”The young man mockingly laughed, which was filled with sarcasm as well. “I don’t blame you if you don’t know it, but that’s the purest of all Juliet Roses, so it’s the most expensive rose in the world. Also, a ros
