While on his way, Jonathan called Roger, instructing him to cease further investigation into Orla's matters. Next, he made a call to Devlin. "Hello, young master Wang!" Devlin's respectful voice came through the phone. "Regarding Orla, don't trouble her anymore!" Jonathan said coldly. Though Devlin didn't fully understand the situation, he dared not disobey: "I understand, young master Wang!" Just as Jonathan was about to hang up the phone, Devlin quickly asked with caution: "Young master Wang, about my daughter's leukemia…” Jonathan coldly replied: "What, am I supposed to follow your arrangements?” “No, no, of course not!” Devlin hastily responded. After giving his instructions, Jonathan wandered the streets alone. For Carla's sake, he had agreed not to pursue the fifty million USD from Orla, but that didn't mean he was giving up on reclaiming what rightfully belonged to him. He thought it was better to personally reclaim his belongings. Jonathan called Adela, asking her to
After the encounter with the old friends, Adela turned to Jonathan, irritated: “Why did you agree on my behalf?” Jonathan was straightforward: “I just wanted to preserve some dignity for you in front of your friends.” “Showing off!” Adela accused. “You think she can show off more than me?” Jonathan replied with a mischievous smile. Adela was left speechless. Among her former classmates, Britget was one of the few girls who came from a well-off family. Aside from being the daughter of the Kyle family, it seemed no one could compare to her in terms of wealth. However, getting to know Jonathan made Adela realize that he was even wealthier than the Kyles. Britget definitely chose the wrong person to show off to. But Adela wasn't interested in all these material things. Seeing that Adela remained silent, Jonathan spoke up: "Okay, since you've agreed, I promise you'll be the star tonight!” Adela wanted to refuse, but Jonathan interjected: "If you don't show up tonight, guess what Bri
"We haven't decided yet, we'll let everyone know when we do." Adela replied evasively to sidestep the topic. But Jonathan, lazily observing the decor, said: "Sorry, Adela and I don't plan to have our engagement here." Fergus laughed disdainfully, as if saying that Jonathan would need to prove his worth first! Fergus deliberately provoked Jonathan: "You're going a bit too far, Jonathan. Adela will only marry once in her life. Even if you have to exhaust all your assets, you should at least choose a decent hotel for the wedding. Such a significant event can't be celebrated in some roadside diner!" Adela, utterly detesting Jonathan, thought he was deliberately embarrassing her. "The quality of Way Heaven Hotel is just average, not worthy of Adela's status." Jonathan suddenly said with deep affection, looking at Adela: "That's why when I marry Adela, we won't choose Way Heaven Hotel." The room buzzed with excitement as everyone's gaze shifted to them, first in astonishment and then i
Slap! Britget suddenly slapped Fergus, then acted as if nothing happened: "Sorry, Fergus is drunk and talking nonsense!" The classmates remained silent, understanding Britget's fierce nature. Marrying Britget would surely be a life of suffering. The looks towards Fergus were full of contempt. How could he endure such a personality just for his career? Fergus was furious, wanting to retaliate, but couldn't bring himself to do it, knowing the consequences. "Fergus, are you trying to rebel?" Britget glared at Fergus, her gaze blatant and intimidating. Fergus, feeling humiliated, lowered his hand, trying to appease her: "No, I was just disrespectful because I'm drunk!" Britget finally seemed satisfied, then turned to Jonathan: "Jonathan, we're almost done with dinner, and it's still early. Fergus and I will pay for the meal. Why don't you plan what to do next? How about it?" Nobody asked Jonathan to plan anything, but Britget insisted on it. Fergus had already caused a scene; th
Finally, Jonathan looked up at Selena, his eyes curious: "Do you know why Near department store cancelled the order?" "It's because of Edgar's instigation!" "Yeah, knowing that, you still want to help me? What are you planning with me?" Selena: "....." Even if Selena didn’t speak, Jonathan knew. She was targeting him, likely believing he was a wealthy and powerful young master. People always aim for their interests. Especially someone like Selena, an outstanding woman experienced in the business world, who preferred profitable deals. Now, seeing his extraordinary appearance and uncertain but evidently not insignificant background, she had made her calculations. Otherwise, why would Selena risk angering Edgar to help him? But her scheme was aimed at the wrong person. Jonathan lost interest in making things difficult for her and said: "Alright then, it's just a multi-million dollar order from Near Department Store, I'm not too concerned. You do your job well, and as for whom I
Slap! Before Adela could fully grasp the thought, a loud slap echoed. Everyone turned their attention to them. They saw the right side of David's face suddenly swelling red, with five distinct finger marks extremely clear. Having regained his senses from the pain, David was furious: "Jonathan, you dare to hit me? Do you want to die? Security, security!" Slap, slap! Jonathan delivered two more slaps to David's face, speaking very slowly: "For someone like you, hitting you is already giving you honor. Actually, I'm afraid of dirtying my hand. Speaking only filth, how can Near department store let someone like you be the director of procurement?" Everyone present was terrified. Would he continue to hit David?! Security had rushed in, surrounding them. Adela, a fragile girl, looked utterly panicked. Jonathan was acting too impulsively, how could he behave like this? Now, it would be him who suffered the consequences. Jonathan shielded Adela behind him, glancing at the security gua
After leaving Near department store, Adela, holding an order worth tens of millions of dollars, felt like she was dreaming. Still in disbelief, she wondered: "With this ten-million-dollar order, will I top this month's sales?" Although Adela had secured this order thanks to Jonathan, she suddenly remembered that topping the sales in three months could completely remove him from her sight. So, Adela decided to take full credit for this achievement! After all, Jonathan didn't care about this small commission. Unbeknownst to her, Adela was gradually becoming closer to Jonathan. Sitting in the driver's seat, Jonathan smiled lightly: "Just a ten-million order and you want to top the sales? You're underestimating Near department store. At least aim for thirty million, push on." "And if everything is settled, then the rest of today is mine. Come with me to a friend's house!" Jonathan had promised Tommy that he would bring his sister-in-law Adela to meet him. Why not just go today? Al
"Rolls-Royce?" Jonathan smiled. Amidst everyone’s puzzled gazes, he suddenly took out his phone and called with a resolute voice: "Could you get me a Rolls-Royce immediately? I need one.” Adela instantly formed an incredible guess in her mind: Jonathan was causing trouble again! Just like last time when he asked for an Aston Martin and got it right away! “Hmph, keep pretending. A Rolls-Royce isn’t that easy to buy, and you say ‘buy it now, I need it’, who are you trying to fool?” Iris was completely incredulous. Layla also sneered, not believing Jonathan could purchase the car. To buy a Rolls-Royce, he needed to place an order in advance, and it usually takes half a month just to receive the car. Buying one immediately? That's simply impossible! This Jonathan is definitely faking it! By then, Jonathan had hung up and said nonchalantly: "I’ve ordered the Phantom model. How’s that? If you feel okay with it, please wait for about half an hour, the car will be delivered right away.
