Lilith drove, speeding all the way until she stopped at a lavishly designed Hermes boutique. It was not just a family gathering today. It was Lilith’s third brother, Raphael’s birthday.Both of them had been the closest since they were young, so Lilith would never forget Raphael’s birthday.She took nearly half an hour to filter her choices upon entering the boutique and finally made up her mind on a belt that cost around 10.5 thousand dollars.It was only a belt! Using a rope could do, but the Sommers were rich since they were business tycoons in Beencelle. 10.5 thousand dollars was nothing much to them, especially when it was highly likely that money came from the narcotics trade.Lilith went back to the car with Javier holding the luxuriously wrapped gift box that the belt was in, only to discover that the car had broken down. The ignition was normal, and the clutch was normal, but the gear could not work. It was like the gear stick was welded.Lilith liked driving manual cars,
While Shane, the elite of elites in cars, was still gloating, Javier made his utmost honest comment regarding the former with the simplest word.This angered Shane. No one dared call him a fool right in his face when he was the second son of the Sullivans. He grabbed Javier, who wanted to go to the passenger seat, insisting on getting to the bottom of it.Javier had only explained when he saw Lilith’s confused gaze. He was mainly doing the explanation for her.“There’s a small possibility that clutch disks will stick together when you drive on a rainy day. When they’re stuck, you can’t shift your gears.“Starting the engine in your gears will cause the car to rush forward due to the gears, and the force will separate the stuck clutch disks.“That’s why I shifted the gear to go forward when I started the engine. It’s this simple.”Javier’s explanation made sense.Shane, who realized that the bumper of the car had not hit the pavement, was even more convinced that the latter was n
Was he f*cking playing with cars? He was seeking death! It was fine that he was seeking death, but he should not have dragged Shane’s treasured Ferrari into it!Shane lost his cool completely as the truck dragged away the flaming red Ferrari farther and farther away. He did not care if he would be able to keep up, but he took off and sprinted toward the truck, yelling while he ran, “Stop! You need to f*cking stop right now. Give me back my car…”Lilith could not help being amused at Shane’s frenzied state. It was interesting. Javier had purposely wrecked the car knowing that Shane treasured it so much. This pleased her very much. Everything Javier had done became more interesting.Lilith asked after she drove and picked up Javier, “You seem to know a lot since you can fix a car and drive a Ferrari, huh?”Javier answered, “Yes, I’ve remembered everything.”Lilith’s eyes sparkled. “What did you do in the past? What’s your identity? Where are you from?”Javier took a deep breath and
Javier was surprised as soon as Harvey spoke. He did not expect the old man actually to have someone monitor him. Otherwise, there was no way Harvey would have found out that he had recovered his memory.Come to think of it, Harvey probably had yet to realize that he was impersonating Draco, or he would have long been killed by now. Reacting to all that was happening quickly, Javier kept a composed look.“There’s no conspiracy, and I didn’t recover all my memories. I don’t know why I got injured either.”Javier was all “I don’t know” in regards to what Harvey wanted to find out. Harvey fell into silence again, looking at his familiar yet foreign son-in-law. The old man seemed to be good at creating a solemn and grim mood, using silence and the surroundings to pressure the person he was interrogating.Despite that, such petty tricks were useless against Javier, who had experienced much more.About another five minutes of staring later, Harvey spoke again. “You’re very dishonest.”
Lilith quickly explained when she understood the actual intention of the statement.“Raphael, what are you saying? How could I possibly like him? You know why I got married to him back then, and I told you before, he sleeps in the guestroom even though we stay together.”“Then why are you so happy that he changed?” Raphael asked with a smile.Lilith hurried to explain, “It’s because I kept getting embarrassed when I was with him previously. Of course I’m happy with this huge change in him now. Too bad Michael, Gabriel, and Uriel aren’t here, or I’d shock them!”Raphael shook his head with a chuckle. “Shock them? Then you’d be underestimating your three brothers.”“Underestimate them? What do you mean?” Lilith asked.To her, her three brothers did not pose much use other than knowing how to have fun, enjoy life, and live lavishly.Raphael waved his hand to say that it meant nothing and did not elaborate on the topic. He diverted it and asked, “Why aren’t the three of them here?”
It was truly a challenge when she shopped for bras in lingerie shops. There were plenty of nice ones but rarely were there ones that fitted her. Obviously, she was not discussing this with Javier, and she found “Draco” being thuggish right now.She balled up her fist and threatened him, “Look again, and I’ll really have my brothers dig your eyes out. Hmph!”She was growing sterner and fiercer as she pretended, but she scurried away right after her threat. She dared not face Javier’s almost fiery gaze. It honestly scared her, and she felt like fleeing. She ran into her room and closed her door in haste, heaving a long sigh and leaning against the door.What she felt tonight was unprecedented. Javier felt like a tiger that would devour her at any time. She was even a little scared—scared if Javier would overstep any boundary and do something to her tonight. If that were the case, she could not even press charges or complain because they were husband and wife.Thinking about it, thoug
This night, Lilith did not have a good sleep, not like Javier slept well either. He tossed and turned, and all he could think of was Lilith’s supple and alluring body.Despite that, something else suddenly flashed in his head that made him calm down abruptly. If Lilith was not involved in drugs, but her family was, and he banished them all…Javier thought it was better to keep his distance lest something undesirable happened.Javier suppressed his flame of lust, forced himself to forget about these, and planned what he should do to find out who else among the Sommers was involved in narcotics.For that, he went to Lilith the next morning and talked to her about getting a job.“I can’t always just hang around without doing anything. Have Raphael get a job for me. I’m not asking for much. Just being a chauffeur is fine.”When Javier brought it up, Lilith was a little taken aback. It never crossed her mind that Javier would ask to work and a low-level position at that. Despite that, s
Javier had noticed Raphael’s car long ago, or he would not have been so ruthless.However, Javier did not know if Shane’s arrival was purely a coincidence or something Raphael had deliberately arranged to happen.After taking care of the men Shane had brought with him, the man who started all this was now frightened.He turned around and ran for his commercial car, intending to escape from that place as soon as possible.However, he was not as fast as Javier could catch up to him. The moment Shane began driving off, Javier immediately slammed him with a “thud” as he chased in his car from behind. Shane was now slammed into a corner, where he had nowhere else to escape.Javier then got out of his car and punched Shane’s car window before dragging the man out like a dead dog.“Weren’t you rather domineering a moment ago? Come on, show me how powerful you are!”Shane was now on the ground with Javier’s foot resting above him as he stomped continuously. In fact, Javier had stomped d
