Audrey smiled widely at Jack before refocusing on the stage. At that time, Audrey and the other guests laughed as the host prevented Ben Braxton from getting off the stage. In fact, Gloria Giles had already come down.The host then said, "Wait a minute, Mr. Braxton. Can I ask you one thing? I don't know why I often think about this when I daydream. While you're here, I won't miss the opportunity to ask.""Well, go ahead." Ben smiled politely."You must know that there are many businessmen attending this event. However, the business they run is certainly not comparable to that of Big Roodgroup. In fact, I always stop my car for a moment when I pass in front of that building. Do you know why I do that? Hahaha just to admire the architecture and grandeur of the Big Roodenburg building. It's amazing!""So, what would you like to ask, Miss?"The host laughed followed by more laughter from the guests. She continued, "You are in a hurry, apparently. Well, I won't go around anymore. Can you t

Jack was surprised at Audrey's action. He didn't think that she would yell out pointing out the 'thief' that was hiding.Not only Jack, the people right in front of Audrey's row of seats were also shocked, especially of course David.David gave Audrey a sharp look. He gritted his teeth as he hissed, "What's your problem with me huh?!" "Because you've dared to find trouble with my boyfriend!" Audrey's answer made Jack smile.David, on the other hand, became even angrier. He was about to curse and use Audrey. However, the spotlight was already on him. The man seemed to frown momentarily in the glare. 'Shit!' David clenched his fist.The auditorium went silent. Not only the colleagues, now all the invited guests were looking at David. Those who were far enough away from David stood up to see the face of the person Ben Braxton was talking about.David was like a criminal! He was surrounded!The man swallowed hard. His face grew pale with fear of punishment from Young Master Roodenburg.

Without any command from anyone, an invited guest interrupted the host's question before Ben could answer it."Kick him out!"That one sentence made David felt very threatened. What's more, the next shout was followed by the other guests.'Have they gone mad?' David thought as he gritted his teeth.Now, the order to kick David out of the auditorium echoed. David became even more intimidated. In his mind were all the bad things that might happen to him, if the incident of his expulsion from the charity event actually happened.As far as he knew, no one had ever been kicked out of a charity event organized by the Roodenburg family. So, he had a good chance of being the first. That meant, the news of his expulsion would very likely become the hottest topic in the community. That would mean that everyone in town would give her a bad name.On top of that, the difficulty in applying for a new job would be absolute for him. Then, how would he tell his parents about that?'I've been hiding m

As a result of his own actions, David received several kicks from the guards. In pain, he finally cried out for mercy. "Alright… Alright… I-I'll go," he whimpered."Good! Now stand up!" The guard had no more patience. Without waiting for David to get up, he tugged on the man's shirt collar. Judging from the way he treated David, he did intend to drag David out."Wait, sir.""What else? Do you want to get beaten up again huh?""No, no, I'm already almost dead. Forgive me and let me hold my girlfriend and we’ll leave this place together. I can't leave her."‘Damn bastard!’ Sophie looked away. She tried hard not to hit herself on the forehead.This was truly a nightmare for her! She had been holding back and trying not to get involved in the ruckus her boyfriend had created. But David didn't even give her a chance to escape greater embarrassment."Tell me, where's your girlfriend? Let us drag her out. You can mourn each other out there."Sophie swallowed, but she tried to remain calm. If

The charity event at Greenroad Villa was over. The place was deserted as the invited guests had gone home. The same was true for Jack, who drove Audrey to her place. They were laughing all the way as they recalled many things that happened during the charity night."You really taught them all a valuable lesson." Audrey gave both thumbs up."I just sat and watched. Everything that happened to them was their own karma.""But you're so, so cool." Audrey looked closely at Jack who was driving.Jack chuckled at that. "Believe me, you're probably the only one who said that to me.""Really? That's so weird. They're missing out on something so precious." Audrey propped up her chin, looking at Jack's face more intensely."Don't overdo it. What they did was very natural. I don't really stand out. Everything is normal."Audrey's heart melted. She had never met such a humble rich man. In fact, Jack was not only rich, but a super conglomerate. "Can I be your girlfriend?" murmured Audrey in a very

Sophie didn't think Jack would be able to withstand a fist from the thug. It was obvious that the thug's body was very muscular.Not only that, but Jack's facial expression also looked relaxed, as if he didn't have any difficulty in gripping the thug's hand. In contrast, the black-shirted thug's face looked complicated. The veins on his neck were sticking out as a sign that he was exerting all his strength to escape Jack's grip.BAM!Sophie's shock had not yet worn off, and her eyes quickly widened as her hands moved to her mouth at what had happened.A hard fist had landed on the cheek of the black-shirted thug, sending him staggering. The man winced in pain holding the tip of his bleeding lip. Not only that, he even felt that Jack's punch had displaced his jawbone."Bastard!" cursed the other thug after a moment's stunned look at his injured partner. He raised his fist to retaliate. However, Jack's hand swiftly grabbed his wrist, exactly the same as what he had done to the thug in

In the end, humanity made Jack stroke Sophie's head too. He let her hold him until she calmed down."I'm sorry," Sophie said when she realized what she'd done. She quickly let go of his embrace. Sophie wiped away her tears. She looked down in shame. The man she had despised had been the hero who saved her."I don't know what would have happened if you hadn't helped me. Thank you so much for still caring about me. I thought you hated me. That's why you appointed me as David's girlfriend in the auditorium earlier."Jack didn't say anything. He took off his jacket to put it on Sophie's body.Sophie raised her eyes. She looked at Jack's face intently. Somehow, her ex-boyfriend looked very handsome. 'Has the dust been covering my eyes all this time that I can't see Jack's good looks? He's more handsome than David. Why did I only realize it after so long?' Sophie wanted to hit herself on the forehead because she felt so stupid. She didn't know if what she was saying was honest or if she

Today, Jack carried out his duties as usual. He returned to King Pizza at noon after delivering a customer's pizza order. He had just entered the shop when someone called out loudly, "Jack!"Jack furrowed his brow. He saw a woman in a knee-length shirt and skirt sitting in one of the customer seats. She was waving at Jack.Jack stood in his place. He was trying to remember who the woman who greeted him was. The woman stood up and stomped her heels. It looked like a woman who was upset, but she had a big smile on her face. "Hey, why are you still there? Come quickly, Jack!" She was so excited.Jack couldn't remember who she was. He walked over and smiled at the other customers he passed. Afterward, Jack bowed respectfully to the strange woman as if he was dealing with a shop customer. "I'm sorry, have we met, Miss?"The woman covered her mouth in laughter. "Miss? Don't call me that, Jack."Jack scratched his head that wasn't itchy. The woman's demeanor was like she had known him for
