After entering the relatively small living room, he discovered that two other were coming to play. Both the mother and daughter are dressed in trendy clothes, plus heavy makeup.The mother sat on the plastic chair, smiling and talking."When are you coming back?" Phoebe's adoptive mother also looked at Jonathan in amazement because she didn't know he was out of prison.But compared to Derek's disgruntled expression, Phoebe was annoyed. As if blaming Jonathan for choosing the wrong time to leave.“Auntie, who is this?” asked the daughter, who was so curious that her face turned white."Ah, it's my eldest son. He just got back from work!"“What did he do?” The other mother looked questioning."Um…" Phoebe didn't know how to respond.At this point, the daughter was no longer curious. Seeing Jonathan dressed like this, she thought he was some wealthy relative of the Henry family.But it turned out to be the jailed foster brother Derek had mentioned.She faltered, sarcastically saying: "Mo
After Jonathan left, Derek's face twitched, then he got mad: "Mom, what the hell is Jonathan doing now! That year, he would rather give money to that rotten woman Orla and refuse to give our house a little more. If he could give me a few million dollars when he had money, how could I live so pathetically? ?"Phoebe's face was also not good: "Jonathan has enough feathers and wings, so he wants to fly! You can rest assured, Jonathan will not escape my palm!""he doesn't stay in Slab. Can you tie him up?" Derek is confused.Unless Jonathan can stay here, if not, afraid they can't get anything from Jonathan.Phoebe's eyes are sharp: "Have you forgotten Louisa Taylor? Louisa asks us every year when Jonathan is released from prison, and she still likes Jonathan very much! Think about it, Louisa's father is sick and needs someone to take care of him. Jonathan has just been released from prison and still has people who like him. It's good. She's a pretty girl! Louisa has liked Jonathan since
“Rowena is so stable now! She's a radio editor already, heard from other friends that she seems to be hosting a live TV show soon. If that's true, then she'll be able to meet a celebrity in the future!" mentioning Rowena, Duncan expressed admiration.Jonathan smiled and nodded: "Oh, that's good."Seeing that Jonathan heard everything and replied, 'that's fine,' Duncan thought he is not happy, so he deliberately acted cool to hide his inferiority.Duncan had experienced this feeling, so he knows, see other was to shine everywhere, and he was penniless, this is an extremely uncomfortable feeling that he has experienced. So he didn't expose Jonathan either.Duncan suddenly remembered something and asked: "Ah, teacher Kieran is about to retire. Rowena purposely to organize a retirement party for the teacher. Will you go…”"Yes, when?"Duncan: “…”After saying this, Duncan felt a little regretful.In the car, Duncan knew that Jonathan had only been released from prison for two months. With
Jonathan joked: "Now, if I say I'm just a little driver, would you believe it?""Do you think I believe it?"Louisa smiled, showing her white teeth as if she was the same little girl from that year, unchanged.After that, the two seemed to run out of topics to discuss, so they fell silent again. Louisa could know that Jonathan didn't seem very interested.Initially, she intended to exchange methods of contacting him and then saying goodbye, which was an excellent way to end the first meeting.But Louisa changed her mind."Jonathan, you, don't you have anything you want to say to me?"Jonathan frowned, looked suspiciously at Louisa, and asked: "What thing?""It seems you don't know yet. I thought you knew your mother wanted to invite me to your house for dinner," Louisa gritted her teeth, unable to continue.Jonathan understood the problem but still pretended not to know. He shook his head and replied: "I don't know.""Then let it go. Jonathan, it's not too soon. Let's just... let's go
"If it's gone, well then." Jonathan didn't investigate further, got up from the bench, and continued: "Not early anymore. I'm back first."Waiting for Jonathan to go out the door, Derek rushed to his mother and asked: "Mom, what is that jade?"Phoebe glanced at her son and replied: "It's a piece of jade worth several hundred thousand dollars!""What? Several hundred thousand dollars?" Derek was surprised."Speak a little louder, and Jonathan will be happy to return!""I speak softly, I speak softly! Mom, that piece... that piece of jade..." Derek's eyes were full of lust.This piece of jade can be exchanged for hundreds of thousands of dollars!"For now, don't think about it. I'm saving this gem for my nephew! If you want, let me hold grandchildren first and then talk!" Phoebe's face was grave, and her tone was non-negotiable."Haiz..."Knowing her mother's personality, Derek has no choice but to be beside the treasure without can't touch!...After returning to the hotel, Jonathan to
“Good, good! You coming here is great!” Kieran patted Jonathan on the back with a joyful expression.“Why did he come here?”“Who knows, didn’t he go to jail? And for a sexual assault too!”“It’s normal to get out of jail after so many years. But how did he have the courage to show his face here?”The old classmates chatted. Their voices were not loud, but enough for Kieran and Jonathan to hear a few words.Kieran’s face was unnatural, and he was about to get angry and stop the students from talking, but Jonathan stopped him and changed the subject: “I know you love calligraphy, so I bought you a calligraphy piece from my friend. I hope you like it.”“Okay, I usually don’t accept gifts, but I’ll break the rule today. As long as it’s not too expensive, I’ll accept it!” Kieran happily laughed, not refusing Jonathan’s gift. He accepted the calligraphy piece and put it in the wall cabinet.Other students looked at Jonathan with disdainful eyes, but he didn’t bother to greet them, and Kier
"Mr. Kieran, I'm sorry for being late. Rowena told me you liked calligraphy from the master K.O, so I asked my connections in the city to buy this for you. It's the calligraphy piece that K.O likes the most, and I hope you won't be disappointed." Corbin said.Everyone exclaimed in surprise.K.O was a teacher during the period, as well as a calligraphy artist who painted calligraphy pieces similar to those of the Chinese. Although his works were not considered exceptionally valuable, each fetched several hundred thousand USD.Rowena's boyfriend was incredibly generous and didn't hesitate to spend money."If you want to give a gift, give it separately. Why make such a big deal out of it? It's just for show!" Jessica grumbled but was still amazed by the gift.Jonathan pondered momentarily and then guessed, how many calligraphy pieces did K.O really like the most?"Why, don't tell me you're jealous! He's rich and has a lot of money. Why compare?" Jessica saw Jonathan's strange expression
Rowena also looked worried. If Corbin gave a fake gift, wouldn't she lose face too?Did she organize this lavish retirement party to show her former classmates how successful she had become? Not only did she have a better job than all her friends, but she also had a boyfriend that they could only dream of.To put it bluntly, Rowena had to live a more luxurious life than anyone else here!But if her boyfriend gave her a fake gift, this would become a ridiculous joke!Thinking of this, Rowena immediately spoke up: "Sir, Corbin is one of us Slab people. Moreover, he has a career and a network of relationships! You insist that his gift is fake to save face for Jonathan. If this rumor spreads, it will greatly affect Corbin's reputation!""Unacceptable!"The other students discussed excitedly. They all thought Kieran said that because he favored Jonathan. As for the gift Jonathan gave, it must still be fake!Bang!Suddenly, Kieran slammed the table, his neck veins bulged, and he said roughl
