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
The young man, Olgierd Laska, was dragged away by Kellyanne. He could do nothing even though he liked Bella. The girl was taken, and he could only stare in vain. Fortunately, Kellyanne promised him repeatedly that Grace was not weaker than Bella, which made him leave reluctantly. Olgierd kept kicking the pebbles by the road as he walked.That was a beautiful woman. Why? Why was someone else faster than him? It was infuriating.Disgruntled, Olgierd thought that he would fantasize about Bella when he went home tonight and solve his problem with his hand! It was something Bella could not control anyway, and he could not be blamed for fantasizing!While Olgierd made up his mind, Kellyanne rushed back home excitedly and scanned Javier. Since she had found out that he was Parrson Group’s chairman, she somehow found him to be easier on the eyes!“Ah, wonderful. The more I look at you two, the better match I think you are. What a good match! A match made in heaven!”Kellyanne did not ev
Olgierd was on the verge of tears. How could things have come to this? Twice he had gone on a blind date! Twice he had fallen for his date! And twice he’d had his date snatched away by the same b*stard! Oh, he was pissed, alright. He should fight back, of course! And now it turned out that his competitor was the chairman of Parrson Group. Really, how the hell was an underdog like him going to fight an upper-crust, modern-day aristocrat? God, what the actual f*ck?! Olgierd covered his eyes with his arm and ran away, tears flying all over. Oh, the weight of his melancholy! Two fair, beautiful maidens had both fallen into the arms of the same son of a b*tch. Snatched from his fingers when he had been so close! Oh, what had this world come to? It could have ended with both men walking home with one woman by their side, but no! It just had to end with a ménage à trois, while the other man was left maidenless! ‘Twas a cruel world! It was doubly so when one considered Olgierd’s backgr
