Jordan started yelling at Audrey when she was still apologizing.Moreover, he was saying disgraceful and vulgar things. It was difficult for anyone to listen to what he said.Audrey was completely humiliated. If Jordan were her biological son, she would have taken off her heels and slapped him across his mouth.However, Jordan was her stepson, not her biological son. She could only hold it in. Being a stepmother was certainly no easy task.Javier looked at Audrey, then at Jordan, and asked in surprise, "Stepson?"Audrey hummed with embarrassment, but Jordan, next to her, yelled, "Stepson, my foot! She seduced my dad. I’ve never accepted her!"When Javier heard this, he completely understood why Jordan suddenly got so irritable when they were by the lake.The stepmother and stepson had their disagreements. Or, to be more precise, the stepson did not like his stepmother.Audrey seemed like a good stepmother, however.While pondering, Audrey spoke up again. "Mr. Kersey, please le
Through Audrey's narrative, Javier had a brief idea of what had happened.Audrey came from a poor family. When she was in high school, she received financial support from Jordan's father. She had managed to graduate from high school and go to university after that.She and Jordan's father simply had a beneficiary and benefactor relationship during that time, nothing more.Jordan's mother knew about it, and so did Jordan because Audrey had been a guest at his house at that time.However, Jordan's mother died of illness. Audrey happened to be studying at a university in this city, so since Jordan was still young at that time, she would sometimes visit and take care of him, which was also her way of thanking Jordan's parents.But humans were emotional creatures after all. After a long time, one thing led to the other, and Jordan's father and Audrey started developing feelings for each other.When they got together a few years later, Jordan, who was ten years old at the time, suddenl
Javier was determined to sleep with Audrey, but clearly, things would often not go as planned.When he was about to touch Audrey's body, a sharp paper cutter was suddenly pressed against his neck.Javier raised his eyes to look at Audrey, but at that moment, her eyes were filled with fear as she held the sharp blade in her hand."Don't force me. If you keep pushing me, I might cut your neck, and you’re going to die. The paper cutter of my blade is new!"Javier chuckled. "The paper cutter is in your hand, so I should be afraid instead. Why are you so nervous that you even inverted your words?"Audrey was certainly nervous. From the looks of it, it was evident she still had not realized what she said earlier was inverted.But it did not matter anymore. What mattered was that her hands began to tremble, so she deliberately kept a little distance from his neck, afraid that she might cut him.Javier asked her, "How will you threaten me when you have the paper cutter so far away from
Suzanne certainly would not let Javier succeed. At least, not at her workplace.After all, her employees would come in to report their work. It would be outrageous if they get caught!Fortunately, Javier seemed understanding. But he still got to feel her feet a little...The next morning, Javier went to the hospital and talked to Doug about some matters.Be it the hospital, the pharmaceutical factory, or other ongoing development, Doug managed them very well.Javier had high regard for him because of that.Doug was talented indeed. His way of working was very similar to that of Chad. It was no wonder he was Chad's secretary.Doug lacked attention to detail, but fortunately, it was not a huge problem.After chatting with Doug for some time, the latter went to the bathroom because of an upset stomach. Javier waited in the office.After a while, the door suddenly opened, even though no one knocked. Javier thought Doug had returned, but surprisingly, it was Mikaela.Mikaela clear
Suzanne did not seem out of the ordinary, and neither did Javier. They appeared as if neither of them knew about it, and everything was exactly the same as it was.After arriving at Hotel Garcia, Javier collected everyone’s IDs and took them to Audrey.Audrey was stunned when she saw the entire team in the buses, even though she had prepared herself mentally.It was her first time taking in a tour group, and there were over a hundred people. She still hadn’t gotten used to it.Fortunately, she had made arrangements beforehand to prevent things from getting chaotic. She had already greeted them, and the services were overall great.After Suzanne greeted Javier, she followed the waiter into the lobby.When Suzanne left, Audrey glared at Javier.Javier was flabbergasted. "Why are you glaring at me? I didn't bully you today."Audrey replied angrily, "You have such a beautiful girlfriend, and you’re still out here sowing your wild oats! Gosh!"Javier suddenly understood and immedia
Jordan showed himself. He no longer seemed afraid because more than 20 people were behind him.The 20-odd people all looked weird. At first glance, they looked like thugs. They were smoking cigarettes and had bats in their hands.Jordan walked in front of them, filled with pride. He looked like their boss.However, after he made his appearance and before he had time to say anything, he was yanked away by the man behind him, who had gold earrings hanging from his ears.He was clearly walking on the wrong route as he was blocking the boss’ way.At that moment, Audrey witnessed everything from a distance. She quickly stepped forward to try to stop them.However, when she walked past Javier, he reached out his hand and stopped her.Audrey was a little anxious. She knew that Javier was the chairman of Reivaj Group, but she believed that Javier did not know that the guy with the gold earring was someone he should not mess with."The leader is called Butch. He’s a big mafia boss in th
Javier did not care if Butch and the rest took action. It was not because he prepared himself long before this. He could easily handle them even without any preparation.However, before he could fight back, Audrey rushed forward and went in front of him, stopping Butch and his men.When Butch saw Audrey charging to the front, he asked with a smile, "Why did you come forward? Do you think I don’t have the guts to hit you?"To be honest, Audrey did not even know why she had charged forward.She was even a little surprised deep down. What good would it do when she stepped forward at a time like this?Butch obviously would not let it slide this time and would surely beat her up. She was indeed afraid of getting beaten up, but she had rushed forward anyway.Audrey was terrified as she faced Butch's savage gaze. She did not know how to answer.Yet, she still refused to step back. She blocked Javier from Butcher and his men, stopping them in the way.But at that moment, Javier pulled
“Right, why did you run forward dumbly just now? And even put yourself in front of me. Are you not scared of getting beaten up?”When Javier questioned Audrey, she answered in a huff, “You’re the dumb one. I did that to protect your guests. You’re staying in my hotel. Naturally, I have the responsibility and the duty to ensure your safety.”Realization struck Javier. “I thought you wanted to protect me and got worried that I’d be hurt because you like what it feels like when you’re with me!”Audrey blushed from the words. “What nonsense are you spouting? I’ll call the police on you if you say something like that again!”“You sure you’ll be able to do it?” Javier asked with a grin.Audrey ignored him and left with a turn of the head. She realized it now. She probably was not this rogue’s opponent when arguing with him, even if she were to combine two of herself.Butch and the lackeys he had brought along had been caught. There was someone else who had been caught as well. He was u
