Zack was stunned speechless at Kendrick’s retort. It took him a while before he regained his senses. He sobbed and yelled like a wronged housewife, “You can’t do this to me, Kendrick!” However, Kendrick had already hung up the phone call. Zack hurriedly tried to redial but was greeted with a voicemail, saying that Kendrick had already turned off his cell phone. Zack suddenly understood what Terry had felt before. All of the tricks and schemes that he had used on the latter, using him as a scapegoat and discarding him the moment he had lost his purpose. Kendrick had just done the very same thing to Zack.Meanwhile, Zack’s father became extremely furious when he saw how dejected Zack looked. “I must’ve been blind to think that I could place my hopes on you. I should’ve known that you’re just an incompetent fool who will never amount to anything!” As much as Zack felt aggrieved and unhappy, there was nothing he could do when he was scolded by his father. Fortunately, Zack’s f
By the time his father and Javier arrived at the scene, Zack had already been apprehended by police who were patrolling the area. Zack’s father almost fainted when he saw Kendrick, lying on the ground in a pool of blood. The only thought that ran through his mind at the time was that his son had killed someone out of revenge. Fortunately, when the ambulance arrived, upon examination, the paramedics declared that Kendrick was merely severely wounded and unconscious. The pool of blood that Kendrick was lying in was his Labrador’s, his so-called “dear boy”, which had been rammed over. Thus, Zack was taken away in a police car while Kendrick was taken away in an ambulance. Meanwhile, the Labrador’s corpse and the beautiful woman that Kendrick had been with were both taken away as well since they were evidence and witness to the crime. After photos of the crime scene had been taken, the management of the building nearby very quickly cleaned up the mess. Javier had not expected such
“Such arrogance! I’ve never seen anyone with such arrogance before!!!”Justin furiously yelled out after Javier had left. Justin was an account manager. Those insignificant, small-time boss of some middling company should be compelled to put on their brightest smile and turn on their warmest reception to him.However, Javier’s actions completely pushed Justin off the edge, leaving him feeling very unhappy. Then again, as unhappy as he was, Justin still had to remain professional. After calming down, Justin forced a smile back on his face before he took out his cell phone.“Hello, is this Matthew Odell of Odello Corp.? This is Justin from the bank. I’ve done as you’ve asked. An idiot from Beacon Tires’ finance department just dropped by, but I’ve already sent him away. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure that they will no longer be a hindrance to you.”While Justin was on the phone with Matthew, Javier had already put up a few tasks on the black market. After that, Javier pushed back hi
In truth, Jade had not only agreed to have Javier stay in her home to honor her bet, but she also did it for the Dunhams. Later on, she came clean with Javier about her thoughts and hoped that by having Javier live in her home, the fellow from the Dunhams would finally give up. If he were to stop pursuing Jade, she would not be forced into marrying him anymore. However, Javier did not agree with her thoughts. Instead, he merely thought that Jade was unknowingly making him more enemies! If he were to live in Jade’s home, both the Odells and the Dunhams would immediately see him as a hostile presence. However, Javier decided that it didn't matter.‘Why should I be worried about those small fries when I’m the one they should be afraid of? Let those foolish idiots come at me as much as they want then! I’ll teach them a lesson that they will remember forever… They will come to realize that I’m no mere pushover they can just mess around with whenever they please!’Jade’s house was lo
Jade’s words were firm, something that was almost unimaginable for her to have considering her slender and petite frame.In fact, her fearless temperament bolstered Catherine’s courage. Finally, Catherine took a deep breath and nodded her head. “All right then!”With that, Catherine agreed to have Javier live with them… That night, Javier was arranged to live on the second floor, while Jade and Catherine lived on the third. Initially, Catherine was worried that Javier might get up to no good during the night, but it turned out that she had been worried for nothing. It was only after this that Catherine wholeheartedly accepted Javier living in their home. The next morning, Jade and Javier headed to the company, where they entered their own offices and buried their heads into their work. However, after a mere half an hour, Jade rushed into Javier’s office in a panic. “Javier! Something bad happened!”Javier could tell from Jade’s expression that whatever it was, it was definit
Jade’s first instinct was to decline, but Javier beat her to the punch and said yes, much to the young woman’s initial bewilderment. Of course, by the end of their lunch, Jade saw why. Javier could drink an ocean if he wanted to.Jade wagered the men had consumed a good 700ml or so worth of white wine each, and yet only Dwayne and Clement were positively sh*t-faced. By the time Jade and Javier left, those two were swinging their clothes around like a lasso while taking their sexiest attempts at twerking.To top it off, Dwayne would even throw his head and spew a drunken, skyward spout every now and then. Clement, being quite the supportive hype-man, would then groggily clap and cheer, “Ooh…Pwetty…fountain!”To sober up after that spectacular foofaraw was to toil in embarrassment.“You are a f*cking lightweight, Mr. Lewinsky. That was what, a kid-sized pint? And apparently, that’s enough to reduce you to a clown!”“Ha, the pot calling the kettle a terrible drinker, aye? You were th
Javier left Midnoon Tires and began making calls and arrangements as soon as he got into his car. Satisfied, he played some airy music and drove back to the company, terrifyingly relaxed and chilled.His return was immediately greeted by a grinning Jade, who sprung into his office, beaming. “Oh. My. God! You wouldn’t believe how frickin’ cool Ms. Gould is. She’s such a bad*ss! Upon arriving at work, Mae Kingsley didn’t waste time before planting system-breaking bugs and making up fake accounting to siphon our funding away. Just around-the-clock crippling our financial system!“But then Ms. Gould came, and do you know how much time it took her to debug the entire system that saboteur tried so hard to ruin? Less than ten frickin’ minutes! Then she sniffed out that fake accounting and the stolen funds and wrapped it around Mae’s neck like a leash! Ha! That old rat was so scared, she was squealing for mercy and started laying out all the deets…just like that!”Jade subsequently relayed
Waking up to all of her old customers and their contracts pouring back in made Jade Odell quite ecstatic. She was in a good mood, especially after she arrived at her office to find Dwayne Lewis standing there with a smile that could only be a prelude to flattery.“Ms. Odell, just the brilliant mind I’ve been dying to see! Finally, I've been waiting for you!”Jade scoffed. “For what? Waiting to get Mr. Kersey so drunk that you can finally harass me uninterrupted?”Her barb cut deeply enough to instantly make Dwayne’s face wrinkle in embarrassment. “Oh god, no! That was a misunderstanding, Ms. Odell! A blunder on my part! Don’t take it seriously, Ms. Odell…”Dwayne did not stop there. His flattery and apologies were incessant as he followed Jade into her office. Anything and everything he had done before today, be it trivial or no, had an apology of its own. The goal was to soften Jade up and appeal to her angels, hoping that she would eventually supply tires for his cars once again…
