The crowd gasped in shock, Jared most of them all. His golden Victoria was worth 600,000 dollars, but now, Asiel’s verdict meant that the little trinket’s price dwarfed the value of his pure-gold Victoria!“Impossible! He’s useless! He’s literally a good-for-nothing! There’s no way he could even buy something so beyond his means. This has to be a fake!” Jared cried. His disbelief was so great that he accidentally said that part out loud. Asiel shot him a look. “Please. Do you know the immense historicity and meaning behind the Fleur-de-lys, hmm? It’s the favored symbol of monarchies. It’s used by both royalty and saints. It’s religious, political, dynastic, artistic, emblematic, and symbolic. A favored emblem of royalty…It’s not something to be emblazoned on any item willy-nilly!” he pointed out. “And of course, what can we deduce from the liberal use of gemstones, especially in the past, when few people had access to such things? Diamonds, rubies, and pink diamonds…Do you honestly

There was no way Evanna’s mother would make Javier hard, no matter how little she was wearing. He did, however, feel burning flames in his groin for Evanna. He had to be inside a beautiful woman like that, or it would feel as though he had wasted this fake marriage. He returned to the bedroom and turned the knob. To his surprise, Evanna had locked the door! He received a text message from the woman on the other side of the door. Her message was simple and brutally clear: Javier was to sleep on the couch tonight. “Please. You really think I can be stopped by a mere locked door?” Javier murmured to himself. He instinctively looked for a paperclip to unlock the door, though he gave up before he really acted on it. Evanna was only doing this because she was clearly not ready. Fine, then. Javier could wait. He left the door alone and went out of the house. All this energy should be spent elsewhere, though not exactly purposelessly. Jared claimed he had “helped” Javier at the ban

David was stunned! Baffled! Stupefied! He had decades under his belt, but still, he had never seen so much money before in his life.Just the reminder that all of this had been transferred into his account the moment Javier had ended his call sent a chill down his spine. He stared at Javier with renewed respect and intrigue. This guy…Holy sh*t, he needed to abandon every past judgment and opinion of his. Now, he really had to know who he was. This grandson-in-law had been doling out surprise after surprise like there was no tomorrow!Lord Almighty, David had to find out who this Javier really was. Why would he marry his granddaughter? Why would he join their comparatively humble family? Why—“I don't have time for small talk!” Javier interjected. He was in no mood for all this chit-chat. “I just wanna know where Daniel Dennison is!”His brother? So this guy was after his brother? But why?David snuffed out any curiosity he felt the moment he met Javier’s piercing gaze. It was li

Practicing the Grimoire of Five had given Javier the ability to sense what was to come, regardless of whether it was grave or trivial. What he did not expect was to be able to predict the trouble caused by three garden-variety punks. Javier was…speechless. Should he be happy about his prediction sensitivity? Or should he be annoyed by how overly sensitive he was?Not that he had any time to dwell on it. Those three punks were adamant to get straight to business. “You, with the whole I-am-f*cking-fly face! You’re Javier-f*cking-Kersey, right? Come on. We have been looking for a fourth ranger to chit-chat with. It’ll be a shame if you don’t accept the invitation,” the leader said, sidling up to Javier before prodding his back with the tip of his pocket knife. “It’d be a shame if this knife went right through you, yeah? Come on, get in this nice car. Don’t be shy.”Javier smiled. “Okay!”He passed his key to the sidekick before climbing into the backseat with the leader. The ca

Joey dared not assume the same attitude she had just now since Javier had the video. She was scared too. She was already in her forties, so it would be mortifying if that kind of video was published on the internet.Javier told her with a smile, “Keep your mouth shut. This is none of your business. Don’t interrupt.”This was a blatant threat. He was threatening Joey to shut up by using her video.Joey was infuriated, but there was nothing she could do. She could only be told what to do and clamp her mouth shut.Javier then looked at Jared. He was about to say something when the latter beat him to it.“I didn’t want to do anything to you because you’re just an ant in my eyes. As the alpha lion, I really don’t want to stoop to the level of a pest. Stepping on you would mean dirtying my foot. But you’ve completely forgotten your place.“Javier Kersey, say, what’s the meaning of a scumbag like you acting so tactlessly in front of me? Are you trying to speed up your death? I really do
