Geoffrey’s disappearance had been kept under very tight wraps by the Whites, so many people did not know what had happened.Coincidentally, this had happened while the Kerseys were having an internal strife, so everyone’s focus had been diverted, allowing Geoffrey’s escape to slip past them. When Piers found out that Renly had defied his instructions and sent his men after Geoffrey, only to realize that the entire island was surrounded by mines, he could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. ‘He only did all this to stop us from pursuing him…But what if he were to try and destroy the Whites completely?‘By then, mines wouldn’t be the only thing deployed. There’d be torpedoes too. He might release so many torpedoes that this entire island would get leveled. ‘Has Geoffrey actually managed to come up with such a grand-scale scheme while he has been under house arrest over the past 20 years?’Piers was filled with disbelief and felt that his youngest son must have colluded wi
“A meeting amongst the major families?!”The old fox had told Javier that the Whites were organizing a meeting amongst the major families. This left Javier feeling rather shocked. ‘What’s all this about?’This was a meeting the family leaders from all the major families would attend, so it was similar to a United Nations General Assembly. The difference was that the people attending the latter were leaders from various countries. Thus, a meeting of this scale would usually not be held unless something important was happening.This was not just because someone wanted to show just how powerful they were, but because whatever the situation was, it had to be very dangerous. After all, there were many people, or many countries in fact, who despised the major families. Thus, a meeting of this scale would usually be the best opportunity for everyone to launch a missile at their meeting venue, and if they did, they would all be sitting ducks. Therefore, such a meeting would only be
After they were done with their private time, Jade was told that Javier was taking her to the meeting and immediately felt that something was wrong.“Honey, I don’t think this is a good idea. This is an extremely important meeting, so if you take me there, it’ll make you seem like you’re taking your woman traveling, when this is supposed to be a serious talk. Others will find it very inappropriate and think that you aren’t being serious about this. I shouldn’t come.”If Jade were any other woman who yearned for fame and glory, she would definitely have been jumping around in joy and would have agreed to go immediately. However, Jade was obviously not that kind of woman. Instead, she would always think from Javier’s perspective and set her own benefits aside. It was exactly because of this that Javier kept falling deeper and deeper in love with her. Regardless of how many women he had on the side, he had acknowledged that she would always be his queen. He gently embraced her fair
The next day, Javier, Jade, and Zephiel boarded a plane together. During the flight, Zephiel said, “I heard that you returned William his authority. Are you not afraid that he might come back and bite you in the *ss?”Javier smiled and replied, “He can go ahead and try. But do you think he’ll dare to do anything like that when you’re right there keeping tabs on him, you old fox?”Zephiel knew that was not a serious answer, so he remained silent.Feeling helpless, Javier gave him a serious answer instead. “He’s still my relative at the end of the day. Plus, he didn’t actually hurt me, so I can’t possibly watch him drown in his sorrows any further, can I? Of course, it would be best if I could tame him. Then, we’d be able to work together and fight our enemies side by side.“Him helping me would definitely be better than having some outsider help me. But…if he tries to take advantage of me, he’s going to have to risk being bitten once more. Anyway, he’s free to try and take that ri
Javier smiled when he saw Renly’s curious expression, which was mixed with a teasing look.Of course he knew what Renly was implying. Renly had made the wrong move by giving Javier the opportunity to ally himself with the Soroys, which had been a thorn in Renly’s behind this entire time. Although Renly did not say anything about it, Javier knew he was suffering because of it. Hence, Renly was now asking this question in hopes of being able to turn the tide.Javier smiled and replied, “What’s it got to do with you?”Renly’s initial expression was instantly filled with embarrassment. As the future family leader, Renly had not expected anyone to have the courage to speak to him like that. In fact, he had never thought someone would actually do that to him for the rest of his life. After all, his identity and status put him far above a lot of people! Unfortunately, Javier was not someone who played by the rules. Coincidentally, he also had both the identity and status Renly had.
Forget about Javier. Even Renly was stupefied.He was also very sure that Maya did not know who Javier was at all, so why would she suddenly throw herself at him?Before anyone could react to the situation, Maya had already buried herself in Javier’s embrace. Her beautiful looks and fragrance were indeed rather enchanting.However, Javier now had both hands raised in the air and seemed to be in a very awkward position. In fact, he seemed very innocent as he looked at Jade’s curious gaze.“I really don’t know who she is…”“Why would you say you don’t know who I am, Kieren? It’s me, May-May! Have you forgotten that you saved me before?”Maya ended up hugging him even tighter after the latter tried to prove his innocence.“Someone fired his gun at me, but you saved me. You even killed the bad man and took me to the hospital.” After saying that, Maya turned around to look at Renly, who was running toward them. “You can prove it, can’t you, Renly? It was Kieren who saved me, right?
Seeing that Maya was still crying, the maid hurried over to console her as well. Javier and the maid ended up coaxing her for a while before they were finally able to make Maya stop sobbing.“Then can you promise me that we’ll be best friends? I like you very much.”Javier was finding it a little hard to accept such a direct confession.However, he recalled that Maya had a mental disability and all that discomfort disappeared at once. Obviously, the “like” Maya mentioned was different from the one adults of different genders would refer to. As he faced Maya’s pitiful gaze, which was looking right into his eyes, Javier nodded his head and agreed to be her best friend. “Okay, let’s be best friends from now on then.”Maya was so happy that she began jumping in joy when she heard this.“Yay! I’ve got a best friend! Yay!”Every time she jumped, her chest would jump around vigorously as well, which was not stopped by the constriction of her yoga clothes. Javier could not help t
The Andrews were flying on an Airbus A380, which was the largest commercial plane in the world. If the plane was carrying passengers at maximum capacity, it would be able to carry more than 800 people in a single trip, which was enough to prove just how big this plane was. Moreover, it also proved just how extravagant the Andrews were. There were only a few people on the plane, yet they’d used an A380 to show how rich they were. “Why are they showing that off? Can’t you afford an A380 yourself?”Renly was a little frustrated as he criticized them, looking at the large commercial plan on the runway. Javier chuckled and replied, “No, I can’t afford one. The Andrews have so much more money in comparison to the Kerseys.”Renly nodded his head. “I suppose you’re right. This means that the Whites can’t afford it either. It’s our fault for being poor!”After the plane came to a complete standstill, the vehicle with the ladder went up and attached itself to the plane’s door. Meanwhi
