“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
Kieran found it strange, but when Martin handed him the glass, he had to lift it: “Mr. Martin, drink however you want. I’ll drink it all!”“When drinking with Mr. Kieran, we must finish it all.”Martin immediately drank the glass of white wine, then turned the cup upside down to show that he had finished it.“Mr. Martin, please sit down and talk." Corbin immediately spoke up, sensing the opportunity.Huh? Sit down? Martin glanced over. If Boss Wang hadn’t said anything, how could he dare to sit here?So he had to say: “No need.”“I have a request for Mr. Kieran, and I wonder if you can agree?”A request?No wonder Martin had such a respectful attitude toward Kieran.But everyone didn’t understand what Martin wanted from Kieran.Kieran hated begging the most, so he frowned, but since someone else had spoken, he had to say: “If there’s anything, Mr. Martin can say it.”“Here’s the thing, the most respected person in my life is you, a highly respected and virtuous teacher. I hope Mr. Kie
At the moment, Jessica is following Jonathan on the sparkling neon-lit street at night. People are passing by, and many couples are walking hand in hand together.“Hey, don’t you think I have any intentions towards you? Why would you dare to follow me?” Jonathan put his hands in his pockets and tilted his head while smiling.Jessica walked along happily and laughed: "I’m just a salesperson at a small supermarket. If someone who can buy a K.O calligraphy worth hundreds of thousands of dollars notices me, I will struggle just to be pleased!”Jonathan blinked: "Do you trust me?”“Well, I trust you, and I also trust Mr. Kieran’s character. He likes you and has mentioned you many times since you left school. But Mr. Kieran will not harm other students’ reputations to care about your reputation!” Jessica pursed her lips and said.Jonathan laughed wryly, not knowing whether to feel happy or not. At least someone trusts him.“Hey, you’ve been in jail, but your company still has money. If not,
