After a few minutes of steady driving, Jerry finally arrived at The Daily Times. He found a spot in the parking lot and pulled over the carUpon walking in, Anna immediately sighted Sasha and hurried to her"Ms Ferr, you're right on time. Welcome", she said in excitement "The Chief Editor is ready to meet with you," Anna said and started walking towards the elevatorThe elevator bells dinged and opened onto the 14th floor. Sasha's expression was grim as she approached Rowan's office. Upon knocking, a harsh voice resonated through the door"Come in!", Rowan yelledThe man's office was decorated with awards, certificates, and pictures of popular news reports edited and published by him, giving the entire room an aura of history and elegance.Sitting behind an antique rustic table donning a tweed suit, was a pudgy man with slicked hair and rectangular frames that added a subtle touch of sophistication to his appearanceHe appeared to be in his mid-50s and appeared even more in a bad moo
Rowan's response took Sasha in shock. Sue was almost certain that no man could resist her charm, and knowing who she was, Rowan wouldn't dare to deny her the information She sat still for a stunning moment, and then her face turned pale "I'm sorry, what did you say Mr Rowan?",After a long pause, Rowan arched forward and tried to explain"Ms. Ferr, I don't know if you know how this business works, but there is one thing we don't do in the world of journalism, and that is reveal the identity of our subjects to whoever asks. There are many people with malicious intent walking around this city, and I'm not saying that you are one of them, but you can understand why I cannot tell you the identity of one of the most powerful men in this city, right?""I'm afraid you're going to have to ask somewhere else", Rowan said Fearing for his life, Rowan had tactically avoided Sasha's question. He knew the only way he was able to learn the identity of the young master was because his owner and bo
"Who's asking?" Vic asked with a smug look on his faceSasha smiled and replied "Sasha Ferr, I heard about your wedding Mr Francis, congratulations!",Pretending not to be flattered, Vic said "Thank you",Sasha smiled once more and said, "Mr Francis, would you happen to know a man named Jonah Smith?" Immediately, the proud smirk on Vic's face disappeared "What about him?", Vic asked with a stern expression"Well, I heard you're getting married to his ex-wife and I for one, want to see that loser and make him pay for what he did to me",Upon hearing her words, Vic discerned that Sasha was someone who despised Jonah as wellHence, he nodded, fully acknowledging that she was someone he could use to get back at Jonah"Seems like we've got a common interest then. How about this..." he said, reaching into his pocket, pulling out a business card, and handing it to SashaJust then Jerry walked into the lobby, scanning his eyes around looking for Sasha. However, immediately he saw Vic, his e
The next morning, Jonah woke up greatly determined. Since Sasha had arrived in the city, he had kept his distance initially from her to avoid exposing his identity, however, the day had finally come.Jonah decided to pay Sasha a little visit and figure out why she was back in the city****After a slow and steady drive, they finally arrived at the entrance of Sasha's apartment building.The entire drive to the company had been one long awkward drive. Sasha was still immersed in her thoughts, the more she questioned it, the less sense it made. The president of Grindel Enterprise had been able to easily launch and fund a fifty billion building project. It was well known that his net worth was larger than anyone else's in the city. She could not imagine anybody who would pose a threat to himIt made no sense!However, just as they were waiting outside the front desk, Jonah picked up his phone and called Jerry. Immediately the phone rang, Jerry picked up"Hello, boss","I have something
Right then, Jonah ended the call and stared at the note on the counter again. His thoughts traversed between a lot of possibilities as he wondered'Was this whole thing connected?' And at that moment, he started to ponder some situations'Could it be?''No, no. It can't be!" Jonah thought and shook his head, squeezing the paper furiously At this time, his mind went blank and his eyes turned bloodshot with anger. Jonah panted heavily, walking around the room as the thought entered his mindThere was only one way Don Petro could have learned who he was - he was working for his extended familyJonah's heartbeat increased profusely as the horror of the situation unfolded in his mind. This meant this whole time, his family had found himAt that time, a large guy of wind formed around him, blowing the chandeliers and seats in the kitchenJonah had lost his mind at the moment, filled with anger his body had attained Zul. This was a level in cultivation, where the body of the user was filled
Jonah's expression immediately darkened the moment he realized that the men were not planning to walk awayInfuriated, he furrowed his brows at the gang leader and said "This is your last chance. Don't say I didn't warn you"Still panicking, Sasha ducked behind a waste disposal, terrified for her life"Gentlemen, walk away," Jonah said again, but this time the thugs dashed toward him aggressively, swinging their metal pipes at himJonah easily maneuvered their attacks. After successfully evading their pipes, he channeled his Chi energy into his right hand, creating a force strong enough to punch one of the thugs halfway across the back alleyWhen the other thugs saw this, their eyes widened in extreme shock, and slowly they started to drop their weapons and raise their hands in surrenderHowever, their leader with the red bandana, Ziki would not allow itHe furrowed his eyebrows, speaking in a cold tone "You're just a man Jonah Smith! You can't get away with everything! You infuriated
Jonah smiled and said "He's such a tyrant, Mr Accardo, he claimed he was going to break me apart limp by limp. Such a person is a danger to society, I say we should break his kneecaps so that he will need a wheelchair from now on and can't go around causing more problems",Ziki's eyes flashed in horror. He was a man who used to make his living being hired to intimidate and fight people. If he were to become disabled, how would he continue to lead this area? That would mean his reign is overZiki immediately crawled to Jonah and cried "Mr Smith, please forgive me. Give me a second chance and I would never dare offend you again",Jonah stared at him coldly, "I gave you a second chance. You were the one who didn't accept it, now you must face the consequences of your actions",Ziki replayed Jonah's words and a teardrop slid from his eyes. Jonah had indeed given him the chance to end this and walk away, but he had thought that the man had a death wish, and that was just a mere bluff.But
The man grinned and said "You're my woman now. Why do you still want to be with that sore loser? I don't allow other men to touch my woman, you know",Caitly hurriedly persuaded with a coy voice, "Don't worry Carl, I haven't even let him touch me since we got together. How could I let such greasy animal hands touch my beautiful skin? He's so filthy! I want to assure you that my body is yours and exclusively for you",Then she continued "Actually, I wanted to break up with him after the boutique happened so that I can get my name on the ownership certificate. That way when I break up with him, I'll be getting half ownership of whatever the store makes!",Carl pinched her waist seductively and laughed "You're quite a smart girl, aren't you?"Caitly chuckled sheepishly, leaned towards him and rubbed her body against his like a cat rubbing itself on a pillar and said"Oh Carl, let's just forget about that idiot and I promise when we get back to your place, you'll be on cloud nine"Jonah w
