"Jonah Smith?" Jerry blurted in disbeliefSasha arched forward eagerly seeing the stunned look on Jerry's face"You know him?", she asked hopefully"No..." Jerry replied then cleared his throat, "No, I'm afraid I don't" he added firmly. He fathomed that if Sasha met Jonah, it might only bring some unforeseen problems. As such he had to pretend like this was another person he did not know However, Sasha's mind ran another course. When she came back to Eldredge, she wasn't certain that Jonah would still be here, but seeing how Jerry reacted, she was now sure that he was still in the city.Nevertheless, she couldn't help but wonder why Jerry reacted the way he did about Jonah. Could he have known him personally?Sasha decided not to press on about Jonah, and quickly shot Jerry a warm smile, "Oh, look at me. I'm making dinner uncomfortable, aren't I? Sitting here, asking questions about an idiot man bumming you out. I'm sorry Mr Paul"Jerry shot her a wry smile and said "It's okay. I don
Sasha hastily dashed towards the office telephone, pulled out her phone, and checked the tabloid again. Lucky for her, she found the office number of The Daily Times and quickly called in, making an appointment with the Chief EditorImmediately the young secretary heard that the daughter of the prominent Keenan Ferr was requesting an appointment with the Chief Editor, she hastily placed an appointment for her early the next morningJerry hurried to his car and drove off immediately he was out of the building. As soon as he arrived at his office, he hurriedly reported the matter to Jonah Jonah became more vigilant as well when he heard that Sasha had requested to meet him immediately after she arrived in the citySure enough, Sasha had really come for him. But what was her reason, purpose for approaching him? Was she trying to seduce or investigate him? Jonah could not help but wonder what she was hoping to find, surely she couldn't still be holding a grudge over their last encounte
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
