The next day at noon, when Javier woke up, Iseult was missing. Not only was she nowhere to be found, but there was a note on the table with her pretty handwriting on it. She told Javier that she was going back to her adoptive father, that she could not do him wrong, but she could not just watch him be wrong either. She wanted to try and stop him. If she really could not lead him back to the right path, she would make the correct choice.Javier did not know what she meant by making the correct choice. It could be coming back to him or following her adoptive father, but Javier thought that Iseult was most likely sacrificing herself by making this attempt but would fail to accomplish anything. Her kindness would probably result in something like this.When Javier sent Herschel to find out about it with all their resources at his disposal, Herschel ultimately came back with some news…Iseult had disappeared.She was a grown woman, and there were surveillance cameras everywhere on the s
Jeremy was brazen. It seemed like he was the king and god of the hospital, and no one could do anything to him.Despite that, Grace would not yield to him. She could turn a blind eye when he harassed the nurses usually, but he could forget about doing that to her today. She was Javier’s woman now!Therefore, as Jeremy approached her and cursed, she swung a hand and slapped him into befuddlement. It had not ever crossed Jeremy’s mind that Grace would hit him. She had actually hit him!“You f*cker! No one in this hospital has ever dared hit me. Who do you think you are?!” Jeremy swung his fist up with the menace of a tiger, but Grace retorted right away, “My boyfriend’s the chairman of Parrson Group, Javier Kersey!”As the heir of a mere hospital, Jeremy, and even his father, would not dare offend Javier. Jeremy apparently hesitated when he heard this but raised his fist again instantly.“Javier Kersey? So what? He’s nothing but a piece of sh*t to me!“I’m going to teach you a
“What? You’re leaving already?”Grace was shocked and a little panicky when she was informed outside of the hospital ward that Javier was leaving. She had no idea why he wanted to leave. She had thought that he would keep staying in the city.This was obviously impossible, as Javier had far more problems to take care of than Grace could imagine. Hence, she could only nod and silently acknowledge that Javier was leaving after his subsequent explanation. However, she was reluctant to see him depart. “When are you coming back then?”“I don’t know. I won’t be back normally—unless there are some people worth missing,” Javier answered.This warmed Grace’s heart, but she was also a little worried. “Then am I…”She wanted to ask if she was worthy of him missing her, but she was too embarrassed to say it out loud. It was a coincidence that her younger brother came, so she left the hospital with Javier.After Grace got in the car, Herschel gave Javier a quick update outside the vehicle.“
Lloyd claimed that he was not able to make it clear on the phone and would elaborate when they met at the airport. Javier believed that it was not a big issue, or the man would not have waited until he arrived at the airport, so he looked out the window and enjoyed the beauty of the high altitude.At the same time, though, there was a knock on the door.Herschel came in with Javier’s permission but seemed hesitant to speak. Javier glanced at him. “Well, keep it down. Since it’s such a tough thing to do, keep it in. Why are you here to see me?”Herschel winced, but Javier’s sarcasm gave him a boost of confidence. What his boss meant was clear: He ought to speak whatever he had on his mind, as there was no need for caution.Herschel then told him that he had bumped into his first love among the air stewardesses on duty.It surprised Javier because these air stewardesses had gone through an elaborate selection process. Their figure and beauty were all above average. He had not expect
Javier did not ask Eric to come along mainly because the latter did not qualify, but the man apparently did not think so. He thought that his presence was an honor for Javier.Of course, he did not do that for Javier. It was for Lara’s sake, so Javier would not bully her. That was why he had sent someone to follow Lara and had rushed over when he had found out that she was meeting Javier.It was evident that Eric had sincere feelings for Lara, but…what did that have to do with Javier?Javier leaned back against his chair and crossed his legs to study Eric.“Lloyd says that you’re a third-generation member of a well-established political family. Well, tell me how established the first generation of your family is.”Eric scoffed, “So established that it’d scare you witless.”He then pulled a chair to sit next to Lara and told her softly, “Lara, you don’t have to be scared. I’m here, so I’ll protect you. I won’t let anyone bully you.”Lara nodded at him with a smile and said, “Th
Javier’s “trash” comment ticked Eric off straightaway. He had never met someone tactless enough to dare provoke him repeatedly. He slapped the table.“How dare you act so high and mighty in front of me when your films have been stopped!“Looks like you won’t feel the heat if I don’t shut the whole Reivaj Group down!”While Eric huffed, Javier’s call was connected. “Mm, find out who Eric Barron is and discover every person in his father’s generation who has been involved in misconduct. Don’t leave anyone out. Right, then call him and let him know.”The call actually pulled a chuckle out of the angered Eric. F*ck the guy. He was bluffing too much. How dare he?Eric could not help asking Javier, “Do you know what my father’s generation does? How dare you brag like this?“You might wet yourself and get on your knees to beg me if I tell you!”Brazen, very brazen. It seemed as if Eric thought he was god and could squash anyone he liked. That was why Javier felt that he ought to give t
Javier had been with Eric in the room since he had entered. Jane had not noticed him because the chaos of having her parents and elders captured had distracted her too much. After noticing Javier and the way his brother had shouted at him, she was horrified. She now knew why her father and the others had been taken away. In fact, her resentment for Eric intensified. If it were not for him, none of this would have happened. Eric had managed to ruin the entire family all by himself. Jane fell on her knees. Her apologies became even more slavish in their sincerity. “Mr. Kersey, I’m begging you, let my parents and the others go! Please, I’m begging you!” she wailed, her eyes teary. Without context, one would think the woman was apologizing for having an affair. The crowd was baffled. What was Jane trying to do? This was more than an apology—it was humiliating! It was an embarrassment to the Barron Family!Eric was enraged. “Are you off your f*cking rocker?!”“Me? No, you! You’re th
Jane was stunned. She had not expected her husband to appear suddenly. It might have been a political marriage, but he was still her legal husband. Having him catch her doing it with someone else embarrassed her greatly. She had thought she could hide this from the public. She was doing it for her family, and her siblings and cousins were outside. No one else knew…until her husband made his appearance. Worse even, Eric was right behind him, angrily murmuring, “You’re powerful enough not to fear that guy, right—”Eric faltered. He had not expected to see his sister in this state. Even more surprisingly, Javier let out a proud sneer and boned Jane hard right in her husband’s face. The man was livid. “You f*cking psycho!! Get that f*cking wanker out of here—I will kill you!!!”While he continued to bang Jane over and over with the two men as an audience, Javier picked up his phone and made a call. “I want all of Jane Barron’s family gone! Any one of them who’s ever f*cked a whore—I
