After Javier and Jade left with the child beggar, Bernard was so anxious that he was freaking out.At that moment, he saw Maddison getting up. He lifted his leg and kicked her down."It's all because of you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn’t have gotten into trouble with Mr. Kersey and Miss Odell of Reivaj Group! F*ck! I thought you were helping me build a good connection with Miss Odell, but you yelled at both of them. You really have a good eye, huh!"Bernard yelled at Maddison. He took all the anger in his heart out on her.Maddison felt extremely aggrieved. "How would I have known that they’re the Reivaj Group’s bosses? I wouldn’t have gone against them if I had known. Besides, didn't you push Mr. Kersey like he was a door yourself?""How dare you talk back!? You have your reasons, huh? Did I ask? Did I ask?!"That strong kick made Maddison fall to the ground, and she could not get up.Moreover, Bernard deliberately kicked her on a specific part of her body. Her petite body
After Javier and Jade's repeated persuasion, as well Finn’s help, Milly finally started eating.When Jade looked at the siblings happily eating and feeding each other, she snuggled into Javier's arms and wiped away her tears.They were only 7 and 10 years old. They did not get to enjoy the love from their parents or society. They could only depend on each other, and it was heart-wrenching.Javier gently patted Jade on the shoulder, motioning her to accompany the siblings. He then left the ward and went to see the attending physician.When he mentioned the siblings, the attending physician, James Carillo, seemed torn."It's a difficult situation. The hospital has its rules, after all. I'm not the director or deputy director of the hospital. I don't have the right to waive the medical and surgical expenses. All I could do was pay 800 dollars in advance until her condition stabilizes.""Milly has congenital heart disease, and this time, she contracted pneumonia caused by a cold. Her
Javier was chatting with Jade in the room upstairs when a loud pounding sound came from the door. Someone was pounding down the door, and it was crude. They did not know who would have the nerves to do that late at night.Javier went downstairs. He did not even bother looking at the surveillance at the door. He opened the door right away.He did not think it was necessary for him to check because the person would still be pounding regardless. It did not matter if he checked the surveillance or not.In fact, that was exactly what happened. When Javier opened the door, the person was still subconsciously hitting it with their fist.But this time, instead of hitting the door, his arm was grabbed by Javier instead. Javier pinned his arm down, and the man screamed in pain. There were about seven or eight thugs outside, and they shouted with iron clubs and machetes in their hands, asking Javier to release their boss.Javier looked at Goldie, who had his arm pinned down. "Are you the
The next morning, when Maddison was found by the river, she had completely lost her mind.She was waving her torn pink underwear around as she stood naked on the side of the road. "Sir, come play for a dollar. Come on!"Maddison was still quite attractive and had a sexy body, so many passersby were tempted.A man even slammed into the car in front of him because of that. The drivers of the cars did not argue after they got out of the car. Instead, they started making remarks about Maddison."That looks sensational. It’d be nice if I could take a ride.""I know. It's a pity we’re in broad daylight. I’d definitely take her home with me if it were nighttime!"Before the traffic police came to investigate, the police officers came first. As they were about to take Maddison away, she hugged a police officer and refused to let go."You b*stard! I know it was you who forced yourself onto me last night. It was you. I can recognize you even if you have clothes on!"The dispatched police
Finn was taken back to the house, and he could not stop crying.He must have been really tired. He hadn’t really gotten any sleep in the past two days since his sister passed away.Shortly after he entered the bedroom, he fell asleep on the bed.Neither Javier nor Jade asked him to change his clothes. He was exhausted, so they let him have a good night's rest.After coming out of Finn's bedroom, Jade burst into tears.Javier hugged her and gently kissed her forehead without saying anything.No one wanted to accept the reality of Milly's death, but they had to.Still, it made their hearts tremble upon thinking that the 7-year-old girl was gone. They really did not know how to accept it.The next morning, Jade got up early and made breakfast.But when Javier knocked on the door and entered the room to get Finn, he realized that Finn was gone.The blanket on the bed was neatly folded, and there was a note that had his squiggly handwriting on it.Finn had left a message that sai
The World Car of The Year Award (WCOTY) was organized by the independent nonprofit organization WCA. It was the highest honor of a car award in the world. Starting in 2004, it had been a little more than a decade now.There were 73 professional judges coming from 23 countries across the globe who participated in the evaluation, so impartiality was guaranteed to a certain degree.Moreover, the award had a high reputation. Basically, it was the precursor to the sales index, so many car companies aimed for the grand award hoping to win it.In the past years, automobile companies kept their eyes on this award,, but everyone was focusing on other prizes this year because each car could only receive one award. The Chinean car that was the most popular this year could only receive the WCOTY. The other titles, for engines, being environmentally friendly, and whatnot, became what the others looked forward to.When Javier, Quinna, and Trevor made it there, they became the limelight instantly
Although it was rude to be yelling, no one quite cared about it for now. Like what the brunette boss had asked, everyone was curious why the brand Chinean could win two awards.It was as if the committee president had long expected such a question as he gestured for everyone below the stage to quiet down and spoke. “I’d like to ask all of you one question. Does anyone see any stated term on our organizing rules that a car could only win one award? Please, has anyone seen it?”The president’s question baffled everyone.Quinna slapped her lap. “I remember! The rules don’t seem to state anything like this! It’s just that there has never been a car that receives a second or more award, so for over a decade, everyone has misunderstood that each car can only win an award.”The slap on her lap might be a little too hard as Quinna winced in pain. The next moment, though, Javier caringly rubbed her lap and was trying his best to grope upward. Many people were around, so Quinna was rightfull
A trip abroad earned them three trophies. No one expected this, so Javier, Quinna, and Trevor were exceptionally delighted. It was just that it was kind of hard to stay delighted when Javier shattered the WCOTY trophy at the peak of their joy.After Quinna called Javier a prodigal man in shock, Trevor spoke up as well. “Mr. Kersey, the press will definitely ask us for photos when we go back. The world knows that we won three trophies, but how can we explain it when we bring only two back for the photos?”Javier shrugged in nonchalance. “What’s there to worry about? We’ll get someone to make a fake one tomorrow. Everyone knows we won anyway. Who dares question that the trophy we have is a fake one? As long as we’re holding it, a fake one is a real one!”Such confidence! Javier had learned from the old fox’s jade pipe that felt endless despite him breaking it constantly. With the status there, a fake one was a real one, and no one would dare doubt it—not that there would be anyone d
