“He really can’t hold his liquor. It only took him a little less than a bottle, and he’s drunk,” Javier mumbled after closing Simon’s bedroom door and returning to the living room. Quinna seemed slightly unhappy. “You’re one to speak…You only had a single glass, and you surrendered already.”Javier rolled his eyes. “Isn’t that obvious? Simon loves the wine so much that he can’t even bear to let his daughter try some, so it’s obvious just how much he cherishes it. So, why would I drink so much when I’m not able to reminisce about my past like he does when he drinks it? So, don’t you think it would be better if I left it for him?“Since I already had some of it in my glass, I had no choice but to finish it off. If I’d known he loves that wine so much, I wouldn’t have wanted to drink it.”Quinna then realized something. ‘I knew it. I was wondering why Javier said he couldn’t hold his liquor when he didn’t seem to be drunk in the slightest…‘Now that he’s explained all of that, he’s
After staying at Graham’s place for a while, Javier reminded Noah to focus on his studies before he was about to leave.Graham had sent Javier all the way downstairs, while the latter handed him a cigarette as they stood outside.As they smoked, they began talking about work.“I’m very sure about your working capabilities. However, I’d still like to tell you that you can look for Trevor directly should you come across any difficulties. He’s going to be staying here for a very long time as well. I’ve already discussed your salary with him and decided to pay you 75 thousand dollars per annum.”Graham’s eyes instantly widened. “You mustn’t do this, Mr. Kersey. What could I have done to possibly deserve 75 thousand dollars per annum? I…”Graham was genuinely panicking because he thought that this job of his would only be worth 1.5 thousand dollars salary per month. That night, he even told his wife before Javier had arrived that he was probably going to be able to receive 23 thousan
After realizing that Javier had returned home, Jade was so excited that she hurried down the stairs. Just as she was about to wake him up, Ingrid suddenly came out from the kitchen to stop her.At that moment, Jade had already known Ingrid’s true identity, so she had even more respect for the woman who had been silently protecting her the entire time.“What’s wrong, Ing?”Ingrid brought Jade with her into the kitchen before she said, “He’s quite tired. He just got home at 3am yesterday, so he hasn't even slept for four hours. You should let him rest for a while longer!”Jade finally understood why Ingrid had stopped her, and she now felt embarrassed. She was only engrossed in her own excitement that she did not realize that Javier must have arrived home late last night, which was why he did not go back to his room upstairs to sleep. After that, Ingrid said, “It’s possible that there are some things I shouldn’t say as a servant since you two are my masters, but Javier really
Revaj Group needed to move elsewhere. After all, it was now a billion-dollar company, so it would seem a little wrong for it to remain where it was. Coincidentally, Chad had already considered this point a year before and had requested that Javier purchase a piece of land. On top of that, Chad was a capable man who had already begun planning what to do with the land and started construction. Now that the company needed someplace else to develop, that piece of land had an entire structure and had already been furbished. All that was left at that moment was for the chairman to nod his head and everyone to move into their new office building. Javier recalled that this piece of land had still been barren and had seemed exactly like a wasteland a year ago… He then held up his thumb in front of Chad. “Well done. You seem to have worked very hard.”Chad smiled and said, “There’s nothing that can’t be sped up so long as there’s money involved.”This was, in fact, the truth. There was n
After spending a wild night together, Javier and Jade slept until the next afternoon. They had booked their hotel room for three days, so it was a little after 1 p.m. by the time the couple left the hotel. They then hailed a taxi and filled their bellies with some local delicacies before embarking on their journey to select their new house. Over the next two days, they kept going from house to house. Jade was already feeling pretty satisfied with what they had found, but Javier just couldn’t bring himself to like any of the houses.“Come on, what sort of house are you looking for exactly? We could just decide on one that’s almost to our tastes. Plus, I keep getting the feeling that the houses you find have a higher and higher price point.” Jade softly complained. She felt that she would be content with just an ordinary house.However, Javier was not having any of that. “Of course it can’t be ordinary! It’s going to be the house my wife’s going to live in, so there's no way I’m
Initially, the old woman was pretty furious when she saw the saleswoman smiling once more. She almost wanted to rip her mouth open. However, she understood why the saleswoman was smiling when she found out that the deposit fee was 45,000 dollars.They had thought they would be able to reserve a house worth millions of dollars with just a few hundred dollars worth of a deposit? What a joke!However, the old woman was not going to allow that amount to cause her to humiliate herself. She shot a fierce glare at her husband before she said, “What are you smiling at? It’s 45,000 dollars, isn’t it? We’ve got the money to pay! My husband meant to say that that amount feels like 450 dollars to us!”The old man hurriedly agreed. “Exactly!”The saleswoman was stunned, not realizing that the old couple was actually rather wealthy. However, she did not want to cause any future problems for herself due to some misunderstanding, so she secretly turned on her cell phone’s video recording fun
The old man no longer dared to utter another word after Javier’s violent threat. However, the old woman suddenly seemed to change her tactics and sat down on the floor, flailing her hands about like a madwoman. “You lot are so unfair! You real-estate agents are taking his side to bully us! You refuse to let us pay the deposit fee and buy the house. Plus, you’re even ganging up with him to beat us up! Call the reporters! Have them expose their cruel deeds!!!”According to a saying on the internet, the elderly did not become villains, the villains just grew old. Jade had never seemed to understand this saying in the past, but after witnessing what the old couple was capable of, she fully understood it now.‘Both of them are just full of nonsense and they’re doing anything they want, including behaving like madmen just because they’re old. They’re such shameless people!‘I just don’t get it… How do they manage to be so shameless despite being so old?’Seeing that her exquisitely
Money made the world go around, as they said, and it made it go fast.For example, every document and required paper had been handled by the sales representative two days later posthaste. Javier paid a king’s ransom for the housing property tax, but frankly, he hardly felt the loss when it came to his overall wealth.By late afternoon, Javier had scouted Clouston’s most expensive home design company based on its professional expertise. Just the thought that they were being commissioned to design and renovate three luxury villas made the company pay rapt attention. It dispatched two teams to follow Javier back to his house. They would hash out some designs and let Javier choose the one he liked the most.Jade led the teams into the villas, and the brainstorming began. Javier himself took a seat at the entrance step and lit a cigarette. It mattered very little how the villas would look as long as Jade was pleased.It was then that trouble paid him a visit.Oh, it was not Jade, who w
