After thinking it over, Jonathan explained: “Because of business, I will spend most of my time there next year." He didn't explain any further. An ordinary girl like Jessica would be better off not knowing about power struggles in the underworld. "Oh.” Jessica didn't suspect anything and suddenly became curious: “So what do you do for a living? It seems like you have a big business. Rowena messaged our class chat, saying you will attend a fundraiser and resolve millions of dollars in school repair costs! What does that have to do with Rowena? Why did she bring it up?" Jessica felt angry at Jonathan. Everything was normal as long as they all donated to the school. But Rowena made such a statement, and if Jonathan couldn't deliver, he would become a laughingstock. How will he hold his head up in front of his old classmates? Jonathan also found it difficult to understand: “Show me your phone." Jonathan didn't participate in the group chat with his high school classmates, feeling i
Seeing someone coming in, all eyes were on Jonathan. “Are you the one who wants to discuss a business deal with Jethro? You have even so young, and you’re already imitating someone else’s business. What family do you belong to?” A guy wearing a gold chain around his neck stood up and asked. “Ha ha ha...” The whole room burst into laughter. Jethro was sitting in the middle, with two girls hugging him. He was holding a cigar, and he was not interested in Jonathan because he was a stranger. He thought that the person who the club’s receptionist had called him about must be someone terrifying. It’s okay to meet him for a while. What if there is a big business deal? He didn’t expect it to be just a young man. Jethro didn’t know Jonathan, but Jonathan knew Jethro. He was the person on the surveillance screen at Lady-Q’s shop. Jonathan approached Jethro step by step and said gently: “Actually, I’m not here to discuss a business deal.” “...Are you playing with me?” Jethro squinted hi
***Because I mistakenly posted the same two chapters 139. So I'll revise it to chapters 139 (1) and 139 (2). It's in chapters 138 and 139, so won't affect the progress of the story. I'll post longer chapters 140 and 141 to apologize. Sincere apologies, and hope you will continue to support my book.---After dealing with Jethro, Jonathan considered that he had gotten rid of anger about Milcah's the incident at Lady-Q's jewelry store.The main play would take place tomorrow.Jonathan paced along Slab street before calling Milcah on his phone."Jonathan?""Where are you?" Jonathan asked."I'm at home waiting for my wedding day." Milcah replied.Jonathan nodded slightly and said: "I already knew what happened to you at Lady-Q's jewelry store, and I have taken care of Jethro, so consider it revenge for you.""..."Milcah was stunned for a moment before expressing concern: "Jonathan, why did you meet him? Do you know what kind of person Jethro is?"Jethro was a thug who only did dirty de
"Chairman Roger attending my wedding is truly an immense honor! I am truly blessed..." Jethro raises his hands to shake hands.However, Roger coldly glances at him, leaving Jethro stunned."Miss Milcah, it's just a small token of appreciation, nothing much." Roger ignores Jethro, treating him as invisible. Roger walks up to Milcah and hands her the prepared gift.The gift is inside a box. No one knows what's inside. But it's not cheap when someone of Roger's status gives a gift."Is it for me? Me?" Milcah stammers, not daring to believe it."Yes, this is a gift that this lowly person dedicates to you, hoping you will accept it." Only in front of Milcah does Roger smile warmly."Thank Chairman Roger quickly!" Jethro scolds loudly, but Roger reprimands him, making him frightened again.At this moment, Conal rushes over and presents his prepared gift.Since Milcah had already received a gift from Roger, she must also receive Conal's gift.Derek's eyes light up like car headlights. No mat
“Day after tomorrow, I plan to attend my school’s charity party, then we can leave for San Francisco.” Jonathan said calmly as he lit a cigarette.“Everyone will follow your arrangements.” Roger naturally had no objections.Jonathan continued: “Right, use the name of Rise & Shine real estate to donate ten million dollars to Slab’s S-II school. Also, put my name in, and I want to be a representative!”He had agreed with Kieran to attend the party, so he couldn’t let his teacher lose face.“This is simple. I will do it right away.” Roger replied hesitantly.“Okay.”Jonathan didn’t pay much attention, and he knew that his assigned tasks were small and Roger would handle them satisfactorily. What he was apprehensive about was something else.Suddenly, Jonathan looked up and asked with a smile: “Roger, how do you think I should handle the matter at my house?”Roger didn’t expect his employer to ask him that question. But since Jonathan asked, he must answer.This time, when he came to Slab
S-II school is currently on holiday.But today, the school gate is wide open.A long banner is in front of the gate: ‘S-II Slab School Fundraising Party.’“What kind of fundraising party is this school having? Are they so full from eating that they have nothing to do?”“Well, you know, this place is also contributing, that place is also contributing, so now which school doesn’t feel ashamed?”“I heard that the buildings and facilities of S-II school need to be renovated, and the management is planning to use funds from external donations for the construction, as the current construction quality is not good enough.”“If that’s the case, it’s a good thing. I think the teachers at S-II school are the most highly qualified, but the facilities are still not as good as those in elementary schools! They should have been renovated long ago.”Passersby were discussing and sharing their opinions.At this moment, in the principal’s office.The 40-year-old principal, Mr. Joe, warmly welcomed a yo
Below the stage, there were many former students attending tonight’s dinner party. When they heard the name Jonathan, many were surprised.“Isn’t him?” Jessica was also sitting below, and with so many people tonight, she searched everywhere but couldn’t find Jonathan, so she thought he didn’t show up.Unexpectedly, when it was about to end, they heard his name again. The CEO of the real estate company Rise & Shine? Wow! Or is it a coincidence with the same name?“Jessica, what are you surprised about? Don’t tell me you think it’s the Jonathan from our class." a girl sitting next to Jessica teased.In the past, this girl, Jessica, and Jonathan all studied in the same class, but she didn’t think it was Jonathan from their course. Probably just a coincidence with the same name.A criminal rapist and a CEO of a company worth tens of billions of USD like Rise & Shine, could they be the same person? Of course not!But Jessica seemed determined and said: "It’s him, for sure.”It’s not that s
Darius never expected the CEO of a large real estate company in the city to be so dismissive of their radio station. He spoke fiercely: "Chairman Roger, be careful with your words! If you dare to offend our radio station, I guarantee that within a month, no, within two weeks, we can ruin the reputation of Rise & Shine real estate, leaving you with nothing but bankruptcy!"Darius couldn't keep his composure while spouting these words.The radio station could tarnish the reputation of Rise & Shine real estate. Still, a company with tens of billions in market value could stay strong. Therefore, bankruptcy is impossible.Roger intentionally asked: "So, what do you think I should do to make you happy?"Darius thought Roger was afraid and replied: "Firstly, give me five million USD in compensation. Secondly, I want Jonathan to leave Rise & Shine real estate and not have any relationship with it anymore. I know he has shares, but those shares cannot be brought along. As for how Chairman Roge
