When everything was over, Javier, who felt very refreshed, brought Jade and Ciara with him as they gathered with the others in the living room.After having breakfast, the group went to visit Zephiel.After all, Zephiel was the eldest person on the island, so it was only certain that they should do so.However, what they had not expected was that Zephiel would have envelopes with him. “Here’s a little something for each of you. Here’s hoping that you all lead lucky and prosperous lives.”Zephiel was smiling away as he spoke to everyone. Meanwhile, his butler distributed the envelopes.Luca took Zephiel’s “a little something” literally when he felt that the envelope was very thin. He then rubbed the envelope and could tell that it was just a single piece of paper. On top of that, he was very sure that it was not a cheque because cheques had specific dimensions. ‘This envelope was so small that a cheque would have to be folded once in order to fit inside. Fortunately, Luca did
When Jade scanned her QR code, Ciara hurriedly leaned over to have a look. When they saw the same amount received, Ciara exclaimed in surprise, “Grandpa has every reason to give me 10 dollars, but why would you receive the same amount?”This caused Jade to feel slightly surprised as well. Initially, she had been worried that it would be inappropriate for the others to see the amount she had received.However, now that she realized that it was only 10 dollars, she felt very confused. ‘Both Ciara and I received 10 dollars each…Is it because we’re close to him?’Immediately, Jade and Ciara targeted Javier’s envelope and snatched it from his pocket.After they scanned it… ‘What the f*ck?!‘He also received 10 dollars! So it really is true. It’s because we’re close to him!’Ciara felt depressed. “Grandpa has always been very generous every year, so why would he only give me 10 dollars this year? Seriously?!”Javier chuckled and said, “There’s a deeper meaning behind this…He wan
Javier and the others were getting ready to head back after bidding Zephiel farewell. Before leaving, Javier asked Zephiel again, "I don't suppose you're going to tell me about the message left sitting under the little gold figure?" Zephiel chuckled and shook his head. "Not a chance. Don't even think about it!" Javier was about to leave when Zephiel added, "You might have had a chance if you hadn't tricked me the last time around, but since you did...oh well…Hehe!" Javier turned around and said, "Save it, old fox. Do you seriously want me to feel remorse? Not a chance! Don't even think about it!" He was well aware of the old fox's tricks, as he had been hoodwinked by the latter when he was still a child. There would not have been so many smart people in the world otherwise, and he had only become smart because he had been duped so much. Javier saw Mary coming over as soon as he left Zephiel. "I couldn’t find you anywhere, Mary, and you wouldn't even answer the phone. We
Javier could not wrap his head around it. How could Terry be there if he was supposed to be in prison? Had he escaped? Ingrid answered Javier when he turned to look at her. "I told you a few days ago that someone was peeping downstairs. That person was him. He broke in on New Year's Eve and had a knife with him, so I tied him up and threw him here. "I already got all the necessary information from him in the past few days. Any suggestions on how to deal with this?" Javier did not suggest anything. He had to know Terry's purpose for coming there and why Terry would bring a knife with him to break in. Ingrid said, "He claims that William helped him get out of prison. Compassionate release. He was ordered to cut Jade's face, and the payout for that would be one million." Terry might have claimed that, but what he knew was not necessarily accurate, was it? When Ingrid asked Javier for suggestions on how to deal with Terr
The breathalyzer did not pick up any traces of alcohol. The traffic police asked about other relevant information and told Javier, "It's pretty clear from the details of this accident that you're entirely responsible for it. This lady is not at fault. You should head over to the insurance company and settle this privately!" The fat woman put her hands on her waist and said proudly. "Serves you right for going all mental and hitting my car!" The traffic policeman glanced at the fat woman and shook his head helplessly. A person's poor character was none of their concern. They were responsible only for handling the accident. Javier sniggered. He neither looked at the fat woman nor bothered to argue with her. All he did was say to the traffic police, "I object to the way you enforce the law and I refuse to settle this in private." The traffic policeman was stunned. He felt that he had done his job so well that there could not possibly be grounds for an objection. He even trie
Javier wanted to buy a car, but it was probably one of the worst days to do so. It was only the fifth day of the new year and many places were still closed. After realizing the place did not have cars, he brought Ciel to the state capital as a sort of road trip while going there to buy a car. They enjoyed themselves in the state capital for three days, until all the stores finally opened on the eighth day of the new year. Ciel was glowing after recharging for three days, and Javier visited almost all the sales outlets that were open. Since he convinced Ciel to accept his gift, she eventually settled on a Mercedes-Benz GLK300. The car was not big. It was 4.5 meters long, so it was almost classified as a compact SUV. It was smaller than the domestic SUV, which was 4.67 meters long, but that size was perfect for Ciel. Javier thought that it was the perfect car for her in light of her petite stature. Her temperament matched that car perfectly. Javier managed to buy a car
The saleswoman performed an internet search and found out that it was true. He was an internet celebrity who was rich, handsome, and very young. He was referred to as the nation's boyfriend by many female netizens. "Is he really that rich?!" The saleswoman was startled and secretly thankful that she had maintained a good attitude earlier. If such a powerful character complained about her, she might have to spend her future in agony. After ending the call, Javier bid the saleswoman goodbye and left with Ciel. The saleswoman looked at Javier from afar and had an indescribable feeling in her heart. She started to envy Ciel even more, for she would have loved for Javier to be her boyfriend! Even so, she knew that fantasizing was the most she could do. Her best chance of realizing that fantasy was by hoping she dreamt of it when she slept! After returning from the state capital, Javier enjoyed a couple of days with Ciel and continued to get down to business. Things had s
The reason Javier had come here was to utilize his connections and intervene so that his movie could be pushed into becoming the best film and winning the Osborn Award. Then, he’d be able to achieve the objective he had set out to accomplish and fulfill Cillian’s final wish.However, when he watched “Ackerman”, Javier completely gave up on the idea. Even though Saoirse had already found a few contacts for the judges, he still gave up meeting them completely.The reason for this was none other than because Javier realized that he would be humiliating both Mr. Gander and Cillian. On top of that, he would be humiliating “Ackerman”, which was a movie that was very moving on its own.If anything was more important than Javier winning this award, it would be letting this pure piece of film exude its charm on its own. This was the very script that Cillian had spent the last moments of his life to complete, so Javier was not going to allow any of his personal interests to get mixed into
