The scooter was parked on the curb.Andrius and Halle got down together, flooring the guard at the gate.Their missus had gone out to hide for a few days but came back home on a scooter...How... unique.He could not help but take a look at Andrius again, wondering what kind of man could make the missus so devoted. However, after checking him out, he felt even worse.The man looked completely plain and ordinary...Well, maybe it was just fate.Halle took Andrius into the villa, walking into the hall while holding his arm.There were many people in the hall.Andrius was able to quickly deduce their identities based on what Halle told her along the way.The middle-aged man sitting on the sofa, with a square face and dignified look, should be Halle’s father, Ford Fullberry.As for the woman sitting next to him, although she wore cosmetics, it was still hard to hide the traces of time. She should be Halle’s mother, Jennifer Lowe.Across them was a young man wearing branded clot
Halle could not help but roll her eyes.Jude quickly recovered his composure and pretended not to mind, saying, “It’s okay, Uncle Ford. I’m willing to change into whatever type Halle likes.”This child.How sensible and infatuated he was.Ford and Jennifer felt increasingly satisfied.“It’s getting late.”Jude fiddled with his Vacheron Constantin and said generously, “Uncle Ford, Aunty Jennifer, I’ve booked a table at the Royal Dragon. Let’s head there first.”The Royal Dragon!That was a six-star hotel!“Yes, yes!” Ford agreed with a wide smile. “Thank you, Jude.”At the Royal Dragon, the group walked into a private room.Jennifer looked around and praised the hotel. “This six-star hotel is really well decorated. It’s so luxurious and extravagant...”As she spoke, a young man came in their direction.Jennifer did not notice him at all and bumped into him when she turned around. She instantly snapped, “Watch where you’re going. You’re still young, yet your eyes are already
In the room.“Uncle Ford and Aunty Jennifer, please have a seat.”After the scene earlier, Jude felt incredibly smug. He entered the door and started to act very magnanimously with Ford and the others.Ford and Jennifer exchanged a look and sat next to each other at the round table.If Jude sat across them, then Halle only had two seats left to choose from. She had to sit either on his left or his right. It was quite near regardless, thus in a way, they were quite thoughtful.Just then...“Andrius, sit here!”Halle pressed Andrius to sit down in the spot across from her parents. It was the seat that they originally wanted to save for Jude.Now, Halle and Jude sandwiching Andrius.Ford and Jennifer’s expressions instantly darkened.“What is up with you today, Halle?”“Halle, if you let him sit there, then where will Jude sit?”The two questioned in dissatisfaction.Halle sat down on Andrius’ left and pointed to his right, saying firmly, “Can’t he just sit there?”Jude also
He remembered another incident.A prince had a strange disease that baffled famous doctors from all around the world. Helpless, he came to Metropolis as his final stop. Andrius just so happened to be there at that time and saved him.After the prince went back, he gave Andrius an island.Andrius had no time to deal with it, so he left it to them to develop, and they transferred him the profits every year.These two things combined could bring Andrius hundreds of billions in income every year.If he included his spoils on the Western front and the gifts from the rich and powerful who wanted to please him, which included but were not limited to companies, shares, and luxury items...The list was endless. It would amount to trillions if he added them all up.“Uncle Ford and Aunt Jennifer, doing business is not that simple.” Jude said proudly, “Excellent resources and a vast network are necessary. Those are the fundamentals. Look...“My father knows the owner of the Royal Dragon, s
Halle soon caught up to Andrius.“Hey, why are you walking so fast?”When she remembered how Andrius had looked at his phone in the room earlier, she joked, “Are you going out to meet a beauty?”Andrius replied without turning around, “You’re right, I’m going to see someone.”All kinds of feelings instantly erupted in Halle’s heart. She felt incredibly upset and asked, “Who is it that you have to visit personally?”Andrius casually said, “Hansel Turner.”“Who did you say?” Halle froze for half a second before exclaiming. Her voice was much louder than usual.She looked Andrius’ way and stared at him with her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief. “You mean you’re going to meet Hansel Turner? T-the Hansel Turner who’s also known as the ‘Devil of Finance’?“Yes.” Andrius thought about it and corrected himself, “More accurately, he wants to see me, but I can’t tell him to come here, can I?”Halle was completely stunned.Hansel Turner...He was a tycoon in the financial world. He
Jason found that the Wolf King was no longer there.His heart suddenly felt uneasy. Did he neglect the Wolf King?In an instant, cold sweat soaked the inside of his expensive shirt.“You’re here.” Jude deliberately showed off his status, saying bossily, “Just leave the wine there. You can go.”He spoke as if he were the emperor of this room.Jason forced a smile and pointed to Andrius’ seat, asking uneasily, “Where did the gentleman who was sitting there go?”“Him?”Before Jude could answer, Ford said indifferently, “That piece of trash left. Don’t worry, he didn’t drink a drop of this wine. It won’t go to waste.”He left?Piece of trash?Trash?!How dare he call the Wolf King ‘trash’?He even said that he would not let the Wolf King drink a single drop of wine with such conviction!Smack!Jason was shocked, angry, and afraid. He slapped Ford’s face without holding back at all. Then, he took the two la Romanee Conti bottles and left.Everyone was astonished by that slap.
“This old hag… Me eating here is an honor to the Royal Dragon, yet you are asking me to pay the bill?” Jude grumbled and cursed Jason inwardly. If he was not on the way to meet Master Turner, he would teach Jason a lesson immediately. “How much is it?” Jude looked at the cashier casually. It was just a meal. How expensive could it cost? It was a slight waste that he could not show off in front of Ford and Jennifer, but he did not mind at all. “Sir, your bill is…” The cashier looked at the bottom of the bill and said, “2,843,088. I have rounded up for you, so it’s just 2,850,000.” “What did you say?” Jude was frightened. He grinned in disbelief and asked, “A meal cost almost three million? What kind of lousy joke is this? Were we eating gold just now?” “What kind of lousy place this is? Why is it so expensive?” Jennifer was also shocked. She snatched the bill from the cashier, and the three of them went through the dishes ordered. At the very end, the three of them spott
However, with that many intimidating security guards before him, Jason dared not do anything crazy. Crack! Crack! The security guards cracked their knuckles loudly and exercised their arms. Jude flushed, but he could not do anything. In the end, he surrendered and paid the bill. He only had 300,000 in his bank account, so he had to swipe all his credit cards to foot the entire bill. “Let’s go!” Jude glared at Jason before he brought Ford and Jennifer away and headed to Ocean Moon Estate where Hansel was. A while later, they arrived at Ocean Moon Estate. When they arrived at the parlor, Jude was surprised to see Andrius and Halle there before them. “Yo…” Jude looked at Andrius with surprise and said, “Andrius, what are you doing here?” Andrius raised a brow at him and said, “I brought Halle here to meet Hansel.” “How dare you call Master Turner’s name?! Who do you think you are?” Jude criticized his manners and sneered, “A guy from the mountains like you speaking rud
