Javier’s phone rang just as he left Mary Jane’s office.“Old MacDonald had a farm…”The familiar ringtone had not rung for years, but now that it played so suddenly, it felt familiar and tender. Despite that, the old fox’s tone contained no fondness when Javier answered the call.“You brat, well done! Do you think your family money comes from a windfall? You spent 10 billion dollars just like that. You don’t feel a pinch because it’s not your money you’re spending, is it?”Javier was speechless. He knew that the old fox would not call him for no reason, so he retorted, “It’s just 10 billion dollars, isn’t it? You don’t even know how much you’ve made, yet you care about this 10 billion dollars? Did you only understand the real meaning of being a miser at this age?”The old man went quiet upon hearing his retort, taking a few seconds before he replied, “Indulge me. What kind of grand plan are you plotting now?”Javier explained halfheartedly, “Someone mocked me for being poor and I
It had been more than an hour since the iridescent passion drew to a close after reaching its exhilarating peak.Cleaning up in a haste, Jade quickly pulled her clothes back on. She recalled the moment when the two of them had signed the agreement in the office several months ago.Back then, she had even thought that Javier was a lecherous thug, that she would not let such a man have the chance to get close to her this whole time. She had added an additional clause in the contract to mock him too.Who could have thought that the two of them would be so deeply in love with each other today that they had even done something like this in the office in broad daylight? It was embarrassing.Unable to help herself, Jade turned to gaze at Javier with love brimming in her eyes.“Darling, you’re amazing. I really wish I could stay with you and never have to part like just now for the rest of our lives.”Like just now? Like how? While the two of them had been doing that?Going back to the
After asking someone to keep an eye on Samuel, Javier saved the evidence he currently had. He wanted it all in detail, though. Since terrorism was involved, he might as well go all the way and find out everything.He uploaded a new task on the black market to find evidence of all the people and acquaintances who had worked and partnered up with Samuel, including proof of Samuel’s own crimes, as well as clues and evidence about the terrorist organization related to him. After all, terrorism was a global enemy right now.Prior to this, his fight against Samuel had been on a personal level, but it had quickly escalated to national security now.The Kerseys stayed abroad, but the first line of the vow that each family head had to recite before taking over the position was “The Kerseys are forever and always Chineans”.Now that terrorists were involved, Samuel was the enemy of the nation. There was no way Javier would allow him to keep existing.After saving all the evidence he had for
After hanging up, Chad, who had been rather delighted, felt embarrassed. He was, after all, in Mary Jane’s office with Javier next to him.Speaking of him, it was Javier who had urged him to say what he had. Otherwise, there was no way Chad would have said something that shameless right in front of another woman, let alone Mary Jane.Pocketing his phone, Chad shook his head weakly without saying anything. He suspected that there was an 80% chance this was a bust. He had thought that the girl was quite pretty and had spent the last two days thinking about her, but all hope was lost now that Javier had forced him to say that. He had no chance now.Javier begged to differ. “McCool, my man, don’t worry. The girl will say yes. Sammy-Blue Inc’s only been down for two days, and she’s already impatient to jump ship. This girl’s very ‘adaptable’.“Instead of skirting around the issue with her, you might as well be upfront and give her a price lest you get into more trouble in the future,” J
When Samuel arrived, Javier did not pay attention to him. Instead, he made his subordinate frustrate the guy first. Samuel was furious. He had expected to suffer in indignation and annoyance during this visit today, but he had not imagined that he would experience that in the hands of an unknown small fry of an employee before he could meet Javier. He was positively fuming.If this had happened two days ago, he could have made the employee get on their knees with sheer money. He could not do that now. His pockets were empty. Even the pack of cigarettes he had on him had been bought at the gas station using the prepaid card he had previously loaded there. Thankfully, the gas station had accepted his card. Otherwise, it would have been hard for him to even come here.After the trouble he went through with the employee, Samuel finally got to sit down in the reception room. Feeling his throat burn with rage, he gestured at Edna, his secretary. “Edna, get me a glass of water.”There was
Samuel did not have the luxury of time. He could not wait for Javier to be done with his Rubik’s cube, so he got straight to the point and said, “Mr. Kersey, I’m sorry for what I did previously. It’s my fault for failing to recognize who you are. I hope you will be able to find in your heart the kindness to spare me.”Javier paid Samuel no attention and carried on tutting as he looked at the information he had received via email. “Mr. Javier, I was wrong to say that you would never get the chance to see me begging you in your life. I now discarded all my dignity to come here and beg for your forgiveness, so I hope you will be able to do so on account of my sincerity.”Javier still paid Samuel no attention. It was obvious that he did not care how sincere Samuel was being. Forcing down the anger he felt inside, Samuel kept on begging for Javier’s forgiveness multiple times, seeming very sincere about it as well. However, Javier still did not seem to be moved. Finally, Samuel coul
Jade could not figure out for the life of her why Javier was holding such a huge grudge against Samuel. In fact, she felt frightened as she saw the intense murderous intent coming from Javier, which she had never seen before. She grabbed his arm and said, “Honey, honey… Calm down. There’s no need for you to feel angry because of a person like him. It’s not worth it.”“A person?” Javier scoffed mockingly and pointed at Samuel, who was lying flat on the ground. “Tell me, do you think you’re worthy of even being called a person?”Samuel could not say anything because he was suffering from an excruciating amount of pain due to his jumbled internal organs.However, he still wanted to beg for mercy. Samuel’s main focus was to get out of that place so that he could ensure that Javier would not live through the night.In fact, Samuel wanted to light Reivaj Group up in flames with everyone in it! However, as he was filled with all those evil thoughts, he suddenly felt a chill running
Meanwhile, Edna had remained in Chad’s office, her beautiful face blushing. She had already decided that there was no more point in staying with Sammy-Blue Inc. since even Samuel, the chairman, had already gone all the way to Reivaj Group to beg for forgiveness. On top of that, Chad, who was a rather handsome-looking man, seemed to be interested in her. Most importantly, she was going to receive 15,000 dollars a month…Taking all this into account, Edna agreed to stay and be Chad’s romantic partner. However, as much as she wanted to stay, there was an organization that begged to differ. “Edna Monroe, correct? We’re with the FBI and we’re going to need you to come with us.”Edna was stunned, and her fair legs began trembling. She hurriedly grabbed onto Chad and said, “Help me, Mr. McCool!”Chad wanted to save her, but he was powerless to argue against the FBI despite the fact that they were dressed exactly like policemen. On top of that, the FBI had an official arrest war
