Zenya could claim that getting fired from her job as student president was at least reasonable. The university had picked this exact moment to run an investigation, and incriminating evidence had cropped up. Except the news of her mother being kicked out of the hospital could not possibly be right. Parrson Group, which was supposed to pay for her mother’s bills, suddenly withdrew all their support for no discernable reason. No, there was no reason. There was no reason because paying the bill had been voluntary on their part too—basically no different from a corporation’s whim to help. There was no law or contract mandating their support, so there was no penalty for withdrawing it either. It was nobody’s business. Zenya was shocked witless. She quickly called her contact in Parrson Group to get an answer. Her call never reached them because they had blacklisted her. Then, her landlord called her. He told her that the price of her rent had just risen, and the terms of renting had
Megara was a good woman. Javier was happy that she could have happiness. However, he was no longer happy after he left Megara’s place because he recalled Raiden. He was disgruntled once he remembered that Raiden had actually dared stab him in the back.Once Herschel came back with an address, Javier drove there right away. Herschel had picked a good spot this time. It was an abandoned crematorium. Since it had only been days after the move, the incinerator and everything else were still available.Javier found Raiden, who was tied on the incinerator stretcher, soon after he entered. The man was scared witless. Fear had taken over his expression, as he had not expected to end up like this just because he had exposed Javier and Megara’s video to vent his resentment.Raiden’s heart lurched in fear, and he could barely speak due to how shaky he was. He knew what a crematorium looked like, as well as the function of the incinerator, so he begged Herschel to let him go in a quivering voic
Javier had never let anyone threaten him simply because he did not like threats. He believed that the same applied to everyone else. That was why he halted and turned to look at Zenya with a chuckle when he heard her threat.“Zenya Turing, do you know that you’re courting death?”Zenya was a little scared, as this was her first time seeing Javier smirk like this. However, she could care less when a wealthy and comfortable future was on the line.Bracing herself, Zenya told Javier, “Cut the crap. Either agree to be with me and let me share your assets, or I’ll publish the video online and expose you and Megara!“Don’t think I don’t know that you secretly sent someone to erase the video. But it’s useless. I saved a copy a long time ago. If you know what’s good for you, you’ll be fine. But if you don’t, I’ll expose and ruin both you and Megara!”These were threats fueled by greed. Zenya was resorting to all kinds of crooked tactics.Javier kept both his hands in his pockets as he lo
In reality, Javier found that death was, many a times, not the scariest thing. What was worse was losing everything.Just like when Zenya woke up the next day and felt like she had become a completely different person. Her pretty face had been ruined, and her voluptuous figure was gone—all because of a fire in the crematorium, where gasoline had been splashed on her before she had been lit ablaze.She had thought that she was going to die, but she had suddenly been freed and the fire had been put out with soil. That was why when she had woken up and seen herself, her skin was festered and her breasts were gone. She looked like a monster.“No, this isn’t me. This absolutely isn’t me. This isn’t me at all!” Zenya wailed, refusing to believe that she looked like this.She ran and flagged cars by the side of the road, but no car dared to stop, as the drivers thought that she was a monster. Finally, a police car stopped and let her in kindly to take her to the hospital.On the way ther
The incident with Zenya came to a full end, and Javier’s life began to go back to normal when Megara was transferred away. Although he would meet Cher from time to time on campus, they interacted like a usual teacher and student. There was no unusual contact, nor the type of intimate relationship they used to share.It was alright. Cher found it fine, and Javier thought that was enough too.Javier no longer picked anyone up on campus, as he focused on finding clues about the Raider member. Of all the vague clues and subtle hints, he actually managed to cling onto the slightest clue and discovered a hint of an idea.Before he could pull on the string harder, though, he received a call from Jade—an important one.“Honey, I’m pregnant!”Goodness, this was incredible news! Javier had been wondering why no one had gotten pregnant when he slept around so much. Sometimes, he’d even wondered if the quality of his sperm was the problem and had considered having a checkup at the hospital.
Bella was so innocent. She had just taken her friend to the airport and now she was driving to pick Javier back up. It would have been fine if she was only a driver, but that was obviously not the case. Javier treated her very well on the way.Basically, by the time they arrived at Parrson Group, Bella’s face was so red that it looked as if it was dripping blood.Bella finally held out until they arrived at Parrson Group and then told Javier, “Hurry up and get out of the car. I still have to go back to the office!”Her haste to go back to the office was fake, but the fact that she wanted to run away from Javier was real. Javier, of course, understood and told Bella, “Come up with me. I have something work-related to talk to you about.”Bella did not believe that there was anything work-related to talk about. If there really was something like that, why had they not talked about it just now? She was not going up there!Despite that, Javier’s next sentence made her drop her guard.
Since they had come a little late and the restaurant was relatively famous, there were no more booths. Fortunately, Javier, Grace, and Bella did not mind this triviality, so they sat at a corner table in the hall.No one had expected someone this tactless and blind to come over.Javier let go of Bella and Grace’s dainty feet and looked at the person who had come with a beam. “What you’re doing isn’t quite appropriate, hmm?”It was only then that the man looked at Javier and replied with a similar smile, “What’s inappropriate here, Mr. Kersey?“I, Samuel Hale, have never found pursuing beautiful women to be inappropriate.“If you really think so…p*ss off. Go as far as you can by using your status as the Parrson Group chairman.”Listen to that audacity. Well, Samuel did have what it took to be this audacious.Javier did not know who this man was, but Bella did. She introduced the man to Javier, stating that he was the chairman of Hale Group, which was a top 50 company in the city.
The call Samuel had just received was from Chad. Chad had just said one thing to him. “Javier, who’s across from you, is the chairman of Reivaj Group.”There was no need to say anything else or explain why he was Parrson Group’s chairman currently, as Samuel was unqualified to know.He now understood that what Javier had said was not an empty threat. He put down his phone dumbly and gaped at Javier. “Uh, Mr. Kersey…”“I don’t usually repeat myself.” Javier did not even spare Samuel a glance. As he spoke, he placed more food on Bella and Grace’s plates. As for Samuel…who did he think he was?Truth to be told, Samuel knew that he was nothing to Javier. After contemplating this, he awkwardly and shamelessly got on his knees on the floor. He was proud, but he had no confidence.Why would he dare fight Javier head-on? Unless he wanted Hale Group’s name to be removed from registered businesses!The company was his lifetime effort. Would he dare do that? He would not! That was why Sam
