Back From Prison! Chapter 122: Mysterious Identity!
The next day, at the old building in the West of Slab!The owner of the Moonlight jewelry store, Mr. Edsel, personally came to visit.“Mr. Edsel, why did you come to our run-down place?” Phoebe asked in astonishment.It’s not surprising that she was surprised. Mr. Edsel regularly deals in jewelry worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Why would he have the time to come to their old and worn neighborhood?Edsel’s chubby face wrinkled, and his small eyes shone with the opportunism of a businessperson.“Mrs. Phoebe, do you remember the piece of Nephrite that you brought to me for appraisal last time?”Of course, Phoebe still remembers. At that time, Edsel offered $500,000, and she almost sold it.But people in business are always deceitful. Edsel casually offered such a high price, so the gemstone must be worth even more. Therefore, she hasn’t decided yet.Anyway, the gemstone is in her hands. She can turn it into cash whenever she wants! As for what kind of gemstone it is, she forgot.
Back From Prison! Chapter 123: Getting Married But Not Happy.
Half an hour later, Jonathan arrived at a coffee shop where he saw his younger sister, whom he hadn't seen in years, just as he had wished. He raised his hand to stroke Milcah's head, joyfully saying, "You've grown taller and more beautiful! I almost didn't recognize you!"Today, Milcah wore a yellow goose feather jacket with her fair and pretty face. Her cheeks were rosy due to the cold weather, making her look more beautiful and charming. Indeed, his little sister was still graceful and lovely!"You haven't changed a bit. Still handsome as ever!""And you're still as talkative as before!"Jonathan laughed out loud, feeling extremely happy. "That's right, and I heard you say earlier that you're now a teacher at a high school, right?""Yes, just a teacher at a small high school!""After all, you're both nurturing the future generation of our country, and there's no difference, is there? Oh, and speaking of which, you're 24 now. Do you have a boyfriend?"Milcah's face stiffened momenta
Back From Prison! Chapter 124: Excessive Girlfriends!
The two drank for just over half an hour and had almost finished a crate of beer.Jonathan waved his hand and called the server to bring up another crate.But by now, Duncan's face was also flushed. He was drunk and started to slur his words: "Jonathan, I... Thank you for inviting me to drink beer!""Don't talk about that. If you have something to say, say it. I don't want to hear drunken ramblings." Jonathan suddenly said.Although he also liked to drink, he disliked people who got drunk and acted unruly."So let me ask you, for example, if you saw your girlfriend getting into another man's car, and you called her to ask where she was, and she said she was home. She even asked if you had prepared two hundred thousand USD for the dowry for her family! What do you think?!"Jonathan furrowed his brow. He could determine that Duncan was not asking him about someone else but rather himself.This was also the reason he was so depressed."Breaking up is the solution. In a long life like thi

Jonathan said: "We don't even have to talk about the possibility of you regaining your dignity, but at least let's solve this mess, okay? If we don't deal with it today, what if you start obsessing again and killing her? The next time I come to Slab, I won't have anyone to drink with, will I?"Duncan pursed his lips and said: "Are you only helping me because you want to find someone to drink with?"But deep down, he knew that Jonathan had good intentions. So he didn't refuse anymore and took out his phone. After hesitating for a few seconds, he dialed a number.He glanced at Jonathan, then turned up the speaker."Why are you calling me?" A woman's voice on the other end was loud and disdainful.Hearing this voice, Duncan involuntarily recoiled. But when he thought of Jonathan being here, he couldn't afford to lose face, so he tried to sound firm: "Sigrid, do you know why I'm calling you?""Breaking up? I can't follow you for three years and end up with nothing. You should give me that
Back From Prison! Chapter 126: Quick Handling.
"This matter... Director William, is there a misunderstanding?" But the bar manager not to comply with Dermot's request, instead asking."Don't you hear what I'm saying? I said call the police now!" Dermot was completely out of control. Could he not even command the manager of a bar?Although a director, he was completely different from a small bar manager like this!"Then, the matter... Sir, what happened?"The bar manager was in a difficult position. On the one hand, he was a regular customer. As he knew Dermot, he was a somewhat notorious figure in Slab.But the young man had a VIP bank card from the national bank, he had already paid 100,000 USD upfront, and if he didn't have a bank balance of over 100 million USD, he wouldn't have been able to obtain the card from the national bank.But he had personally swiped the card given to him by the employee, knowing that a regular person couldn't have this kind of card. This was a dispute between the locals and the rich outsider!How was
Back From Prison! Chapter 127: The Result Will Be The Same.
The Southwest region had already entered winter, and Slab couldn't escape from it.Therefore, the streets are very empty of people.Jonathan walked aimlessly on the street, letting the raindrops fall on his face, but he didn't feel cold at all.No matter how cold the rain was at night, it was not as hard as he felt inside at the moment.'Brother, I'm getting married soon.''The wedding will take place on December 28th, only five days left. You'll know then.''Brother, I'm not hiding anything from you. And your little sister is getting married, aren't you going to congratulate me?'Remembering Milcah's hesitant words when they met last time, Jonathan muttered: "Why didn't you tell me the truth? Why didn't you tell me that Mom forced you to marry Jethro?"Jonathan intended to call Milcah to ask for clarification, but in the end, he decided not to.Her constant evasion of the issue showed that she had some personal struggles. Asking her repeatedly would be pointless.Jonathan didn't know
Back From Prison! Chapter 128: Job Seeking Sabotaged.
Jonathan sighed silently and stood up. His voice was heavy: "Mom, whether you forced Milcah or not, you know it in your heart. I also know you sell the Nephrite I owned for one million and two hundred thousand USD. Sometimes I doubt, is money really that important?"Phoebe widened her eyes. How did Jonathan know about her selling the Nephrite and the price she traded it for? Had Jonathan met Edsel of Moonlight jewelry store?But her eyes still showed denial: "What, Nephrite? I told you that your Nephrite was lost, don't you understand?!"Jonathan shook his head and laughed. He knew too well the stubbornness of his foster mother. Even if he showed her the Nephrite before her, she would not admit it. He was too lazy to argue."You take care of it yourself."Jonathan left with those words.In the room, Derek couldn't remain calm any longer: "Mom, do you feel like Jonathan is different from before? Also, how does he know about the Nephrite you sold and the price you sold it for?"Phoebe h
Back From Prison! Chapter 129: Forced By Wife.
Jonathan could see Louisa pressing her nails into her skin, disgust, and humiliation clear on her face."You've been struggling. Why didn't you say anything?"Jonathan didn't say anything from start to finish, suddenly speaking up.He knew Louisa's father had been injured a few years ago but didn't know the details. He didn't expect it to be so severe as spinal surgery."It's nothing, not just a day or two of hardship. Jonathan, let's go back, shall we?" Louisa brushed off the strange glances around them, forcing a smile."Let's go. I'll treat you to bubble tea!"Jonathan said "you" instead of "both of you.""Yes, please!"Downstairs, Olwen played with her phone for a moment, boredly saying: "You two go ahead, I have an appointment, I'm not going with you."Wasting time with a driver is not a good use of time.Louisa looked at Olwen, hesitated to speak but stopped.Jonathan said nothing more, not even a "let me drive you for.""Let's go."They both drove away.Along the way, Louisa sp
