"I've said that we're not discussing business today, and as for which company we choose as a supplier, you'll find out on the announcement day. There's no need for CEO Gabriel to be so impatient!" Adela only revealed a few details.But if Gabriel acts quickly, his company will take advantage of it.He no longer smiled: "Miss Adela, that's not acceptable. Knowing sooner or later is still knowing, so why don't you tell me now, will my company be chosen?""What difference does it make whether I am or aren't?" Adela seemed annoyed, her tone no longer polite.But Gabriel ignored her and said: "If we are chosen, it's good news, and I will give Miss Adela a gift. And if not, I hope you can find a way to help our company."Gabriel's attitude aligned with the saying: "the tongue has no bones, and it can twist and turn."It was clear that Gabriel wanted Adela to abuse her authority for personal gain, and his tone implied that Adela had no right to refuse.Adela's face darkened as if she had swa
With a malicious smile, Jonathan suddenly raised his fingers to count: "Let me guess, who in San Francisco you can't touch? The first person is probably Stephen Richard, right? Although Stephen isn't the most powerful in San Francisco, he is the most ruthless."Jonathan continued: "The second person, Roger Jake, the owner of the real estate company Rise & Shine, has a complicated family background. If he takes action, you'll have to leave immediately!""The third person is old man Kane of the Thomas family, a respected figure of San Francisco. Although Kane retired recently, he once greatly influenced the city. Just a few stomps of his feet would shake you to the ground.""The fourth person...""Boasting is useless. If you have the guts, invite someone here for me!" Gabriel said, unconvinced.Gabriel couldn't touch any of the people Jonathan had just listed.But talk is cheap."Do you want me to name one person for you to invite, or should I invite them individually?" Jonathan asked w
Upon leaving the hotel, Milcah immediately picked up Curtis and approached, asking with concern: "Did those two have any issues?"Milcah knew that Gabriel was a difficult person to deal with, so she had been waiting anxiously, fearing that something unexpected might happen."Curtis is the bravest, I'm not scared." Curtis puffed up her chest and declared.Of course, she was pretending not to be scared.With Gabriel's intimidating demeanor, even an ordinary adult would be apprehensive, let alone little Curtis.It was just that Curtis saw Jonathan and Adela were alright, so she acted brave.Naturally, nobody would expose a child's lie.Jonathan smiled in support: "That's right, our Curtis is the bravest! Where does brave Curtis want to go this afternoon?""Um... Curtis wants to sleep."Curtis still wanted to continue playing, but she had already played all morning, so she couldn't help but feel sleepy."Then let's go home."If Curtis was tired, they didn't need to continue playing in the
Jonathan casually slumped into a chair, then leisurely lit a cigarette, took a puff, and finally looked up at Harold with a lazy expression."If these words came from your uncle, I might have to reconsider, but since it's you, Harold... You're just the offspring of your ancestors, seemingly delusional about your power.""You don't plan to pay, do you? Roger, I know you, but your friend here has quite an odd character and doesn't seem to respect me at all!" Harold glanced at Roger, thinking he should be more tactful."Mr. Johnson, whatever Mr. Wang wants to do is none of my business. Whatever you want to do with Mr. Wang is up to you; I won't interfere! Of course, it's not my place to do that, so you're asking the wrong person." Roger calmly replied, then metaphorically passed the ball back to Harold.His answer had a deeper meaning.Harding didn't understand it, but Harold surely did.Roger couldn't make decisions for Jonathan.Alright then!In this Southwest region, was there anyone m
In the afternoon, Jonathan stopped by to visit Curtis for a while.Later that evening, he went to the Fragrant Hotel with Roger.When Jonathan entered the banquet hall, quite a few people were inside.Most of them were prominent figures of San Francisco."Mr. Wang!"Upon seeing Jonathan, Kane hurriedly called out.Was Jonathan the one who had offended Harold?Many other guests were also present, including Stephen, Vincent, Aidan, and several others. However, they seemed to mind their business, acting as if they didn't know one another."What's going on? Do you know Jonathan Wang?" Harold asked with a furrowed brow."Young Master Johnson, I do know him. I thought there might be a misunderstanding between you two..." Kane wanted to mediate between the two parties.But he was interrupted by Cuthbert: "It's not unusual for Mr. Thomas to know Jonathan, as they are both from San Francisco. However, I'm afraid this is not a misunderstanding! Jonathan has already said that if Young Master Joh
“Mr. Johnson, have you chosen a hospital yet? I'll send someone to take you there later." Jonathan asked.Jonathan no longer paid attention to Cuthbert, nor did he plan to take revenge on him that quickly. He had his calculations.But Harold was different.Although Jonathan wasn't the kind of person to stick to every word he said, there was no reason to take back what had already been spoken.Today, he will break Harold's legs.“You, you dare!”Harold honestly didn't expect Jonathan to go that far.Breaking his legs was akin to offending his powerful uncle.Wasn't his uncle the King of Hell, untouchable by anyone who would dare to provoke?“What wouldn't I dare to do? When you're at the hospital, call Roderick and tell him who did this. I believe he'll come to San Francisco.”“Not even a day has passed. I'll leave immediately and never return to San Francisco!” Harold knew fear, not daring to bet whether Jonathan would follow through.But Jonathan shook his head: "It's too late.”Fini
"It's just a fish, after all. It's not a big deal if we don't eat it. Let's forget about it." Adela thought lightly, wanting to make things easier for the staff serves.Jonathan also nodded involuntarily, thinking the same way.Arguing over a fish was certainly not worth it.The server was relieved, having feared that he would not let the matter go.Clearly, the restaurant was wrong, and they didn't know how to explain the situation if it escalated."Oh, so that fish was yours! Adela, what a coincidence!"At that moment, a sounding voice rang out.Jonathan and Adela both looked toward the source of the sound, seeing a woman in a white fur coat approaching.Thanks to her makeup, the woman appeared quite pale and quite beautiful.Adela recognized who it was and couldn't help but frown: "Donna, weren't you out of town on a business trip? Why are you back here?""It's almost the New Year, so I must return to my hometown in style!"The woman named Donna laughed heartily and continued: "Bes
"Is he still here?" Edward asked, genuinely concerned."Yes, I saw them go into that private room!"Donna eagerly replied, awaiting this question.If Edward didn't teach Jonathan a lesson today, she couldn't swallow her anger.It especially bothered her that Jonathan was Adela's boyfriend, which made Donna even more indignant."Alright, come with me to give him a piece of our minds! I want to see what kind of audacity he has to disrespect me, Edward!"Edward didn't think much of it and followed Donna's lead toward the private room. Donna quickly followed suit.Thud!The door wasn't locked. Edward pushed it open without knocking, ignoring any formalities.Upon hearing the noise, Jonathan glanced over and saw Edward entering.Edward also saw Jonathan, and his face turned pale as if he'd seen a ghost.Donna entered behind him but could only see Edward's back, not his facial expression.Feeling more confident, she hesitantly exclaimed: "Jonathan, the young master is here now. If you dare,
