Robert's offer was crafty but well-meaning. He saw a juicy opportunity and wanted part of the action. Fine by Justin - they were businessmen after all. Getting rich together was the way.After some discussion, the old lady soon fried up a batch of kebabs with the newly delivered ingredients and brought them over to the two. She also prepared a few bottles of beer for each of them - the best she could offer her guests in this place.Justin dug in voraciously, uncaring of manners. He was starving. The combination of beer and piping hot kebabs was sheer bliss.To his surprise, he noticed a hand reaching for the kebabs beside him. It was none other than Robert Burns, who was eating and drinking with total abandon, no trace of his usual boss persona.Perhaps noticing Justin's puzzled yet curious glance, Robert spoke up, "What? Why are you looking at me like that? Is it weird for me to eat like this? Oh I see, you probably think that as a big boss, I would never deign to eat such simple foo
The question was just too sudden. Their relationship was only beginning to bud, yet he was asking about marriage already? How could Justin explain the situation with the two girlfriends still waiting for him at home? Who knew if that revelation might get him killed? Best not go there for now. He'd have to find the right time to clarify matters in the future."Uncle, Cindy and I are still young. I have not thought about marriage yet. You know I'm still in school and busy with work, so I don't have time to consider this right now," Justin said gently. Hearing this, Chase Garcia's expression dimmed slightly, but he patted Justin on the shoulder and said, "I understand, it is too soon for you two to get married. But remember, Cindy is your girl now. You must not let her down. And you need to make this decision sooner than later. Otherwise if she gets pregnant, it will lead to gossip. Your aunt and I are old folks, we don't mind the chatter, but Cindy would be hurt!"Justin nearly fell ov
Just then, a large group of people suddenly emerged from the airport exit, flanked front and back by thirty something bodyguards aggressively shoving people aside while shouting loudly."Move aside! Out of the way! Don't block our path, you fans! Even if you sell everything you own, you still can't afford compensation."Despite the bodyguards' harsh admonishments, the crazy fans' enthusiasm could not be dampened. Even as they were shoved aside, the fans continued screaming with faces pressed close, some females were even knocked down yet crawled right back up without anger, shrieking loudly as before.Seeing this scene, Kyle frowned and asked: "Mr. Wilson, this can't be Miss Rice right? I've never seen her make such a scene, let alone act so arrogantly."Justin had guessed long ago this was not Sydney Rice's entourage, because no matter where she went, Sydney was always polite to others, never uttering a foul word, let alone acting tyrannically like this.The truth soon revealed itsel
On the other side, Justin smilingly approached Sydney Rice. Recognizing him, they started chatting:"Oh my, Miss Superstar, you really kept me waiting. Do you know I've been here since morning?" Justin joked dramatically. After all, white lies never hurt anyone.Hearing this, Sydney's pretty face flushed as she apologized embarrassedly: "I'm so sorry for the long wait. My flight was delayed, and I had to get luggage from the back...sorry for making you wait.""And you are, Sir?"Just then, the elderly man Sydney was assisting looked at Justin confusedly and asked.Sydney quickly introduced them: "Grandpa, this is Justin, the miraculous healer I told you about. Thank you, Dr. Justin, for curing me last time, and advising Grandpa against those medicines. You saved his life, we're truly indebted."The old man immediately tried to bow deeply in gratitude, but Justin quickly stopped him. The elder could be his grandfather. Having him bow publicly would be utterly inappropriate."Please don
Sydney shut her eyes, assuming the cries were from Justin. When she opened them again, the swaggering thugs all lay crippled and writhing on the ground.In contrast, Justin was untouched without a hair amiss, still smiling at the moaning men.The elder had witnessed it all clearly, and exchanged knowing looks with his attendant, who simply nodded in response.Seeing his hired thugs trounced, the young master panicked. This guy was like a grim reaper! Wasn't he a pushover earlier? How did he suddenly become so formidable?Facing Justin now inspired more fear than facing his own father."You, listen up. I'm the second young master of the Hawkins Family. If you dare touch one hair on me, my family will make you pay."Still acting tough when cornered, but his trembling gave away his fear. The more scared he was, the more impotent he felt, the more he blustered.Justin delighted in making these arrogant fools grovel."Fine, I won't touch a hair on you. I'll just break your limbs instead."
Having purchased all ten villas on the hilltop, Justin had ample space. He arranged for the elder and Sydney to stay in one villa, then began examining the elder.He found the condition required at least seven days of intensive treatment. The elder was exhausted now, so Justin decided to start tomorrow and took his leave.But before he could exit the living room, Sydney called out to him. Neither brought up the earlier awkwardness, though Sydney's flushed face showed she was quite affected.Justin was also very embarrassed. Ogling is one thing, but getting caught with a nosebleed too? Why couldn't he tear his eyes away and stop when noticed? Now any explanation was impossible. Fortunately the other two didn't know, or he'd be barred from home again tonight."Miss Rice, did you need me for something?""Mr. Wilson, you're so forgetful! Didn't you invite me to film a commercial for your skincare? Let's discuss the details while there's still daylight, so I can start shooting ASAP once I'
Justin smiled and went to the kitchen to find several delicate dishes laid out, including his favorites, all steaming hot. But one look and you could tell they had been waiting a while, clearly reheated several times.Next to the exquisite fare were three place settings, with utensils fully arranged. It seemed Mia had been waiting for him all this time. Sigh, a beauty's favor was hard to bear. He really should rein himself in.Instead of eating right away, Justin put the dishes back in the microwave to reheat as he waited. He even took the chance to grab some wine and candles from the cellar, planning a candlelit dinner. Though oddly enough, most candlelit dinners were for two, while his would be for three. Don't ask why, just take it that I have multiple lady friends, got a problem with that?Just then, his phone suddenly rang. Seeing it was his old man, he picked up."Yo dad, still up so late? What's up with the call? Miss your son? If you miss me, I'll come back in a couple days. B
Just as he was about to leave, Sydney Rice came out with breakfast, even preparing a share for him - truly thoughtful. Unable to resist her enthusiastic invitation, Justin ate there, though recalling Mia's warning last night, he didn't linger. He went straight to Derek's villa and drove his sister-in-law to the hospital.At the hospital, people instinctively shrank away to give them space, some not even daring to look his way. Justin rubbed his nose, puzzled. Was he really that intimidating? Just because he taught one woman a lesson two nights ago? Why so afraid?Justin carefully escorted his sister-in-law to the obstetrics department, but grew uncomfortable upon reaching the door. Still a virgin without any experience in this area, he had no idea how to assist with the exam here.Luckily, the obstetrician on duty last night was one who witnessed Justin's life-saving abilities. Seeing the VIP arrive, he didn't dare delay, immediately reporting it to the dean.The dean rushed over at o
