..Lisa had placed all her bet on Landon when she decided to defend him. In short, the probability of her action going right was so low that they were not more than 10% and this 10% was largely betting on whether Landon would be a good person to be merciful towards her. And such good traits are hard to find in people these days.However, she knew for certain that if she did nothing and remained by Bernard’s side, she would suffer the consequences of Landon’s wrath again with Bernard. She knew best than to make such a mistake again which was what led her to take the risk of defending Landon and she knew doing this would cause her relationship with Bernard to shake.Seeing that the results of her bet bore good fruits, Lisa could not help herself from becoming emotional as she had tears of joy.She knelt and cried tears of joy.The scene had already started becoming very awkward for both Landon and Harry White as it attracted people’s attention.“It’s okay. It’s okay.” Noticing this Lan
..“My God! It’s Jasmine!” “It is her! She’s so beautiful up close!”“What a goddess! Any man would be lucky to have her!”“Exactly who wouldn’t be! After all, she’s the most beautiful girl in the school and she is among the top four beauties in the entire Dimvale City. She’s just an idol. The word goddess fits her perfectly.”“Till now I have yet to see a man who beats her in status in the entire university.”“Are you crazy?! All men here in the Cradle Valley University are beneath her level. We can only worship her from afar. The highest blessing we can get from her is if she stares at all.”“You are right…”Landon could only watch as the lady stole the entire spotlight without even trying. Even his attention had been stolen too since his eyes were now locked in on a beautiful lady being escorted by bodyguards.Jasmine Rivera.Indeed she’s the most beautiful lady at Cradle Valley University.Landon does not know too much about her being among the top four beauties in Dimvale City
..“Wow! This place is nice!”“The decorations are top class as they say.”“Now we know that the stories of this place are not just due to pure exaggeration.”By this time the remaining students of Kara’s class had already arrived for the dinner. However, both Xander, Bernard, and Tricia were not present and Kara preferred it this way.“We still need to try the food to be completely sure too.”“Well, I can assure you all that The Heritage Grill’s food is worth the hype,” Chuck said confidently.“Seems like this is not your first time here, Chuck?.” Joan chimed in.“Of course, it’s not my first time here for sure.” Chuck gave out a loud chuckle as shook his wrist, flaunting his Rolex watch for everyone to see. “I have been here countless times with friends. I even accompany my father here for business meetings too. You can say this restaurant is kind of my regular spot.”“Oh wow, you follow your dad for business meetings even when you are not done with school yet? Seems like you must
..Everyone all gaped with shock when they saw Landon had accidentally bumped into the waitress to spilled the dishes the waitress was carrying on a trail.“I’m so sorry.” Landon apologized when he noticed the mess he had caused.“My god! Landon! What’s wrong with you? You had to go land yourself in trouble you fool!”“Yeah! You are the most broke person here yet you dare to spill over food here in The Heritage Grill! Given how expensive their food is you are in big trouble.”“I’m already beginning to feel so sorry for the trash.”Knowing that Landon had just caused a loss to The Heritage Grill, they all knew Landon would be requested to pay for the food he spilled so they all criticized Landon and wished not to be in his shoes.“I’m very sorry. It was a mistake.” Landon apologized to the waitress once more.“But sir sorry is not going to cut it. My manager won’t take sorry for this loss.”Understanding what the girl wanted to say Landon asked: “So how much is the dishes I just spill
..“I’ll pay via card,” Landon said nonchalantly as he brought out a black card.The moment the lady manager’s eyes fell on the black card her eyes quivered greatly.“This is…”There’s no doubt about it. Cynthia, who was The Heritage Grill manager could clearly feel the card in her hand.It was the supreme black card.She had only seen such a card once and it was when she had been graced to be in the midst of a room of extremely powerful figures far bigger than the three most powerful families in Dimvale City. She knew for sure that the number of people who had such a card in the entire world was not more than the fingers in both her hands.‘This has to be a fake right?’ Cynthia tried to doubt it until she was distracted by the voice of one of her staff.“Manager we have calculated the bills of every dish and service that is yet to be paid right now and they all amount to two million dollars. The VIP and the VVIP were also accounted for.” Said the Waitress.“Two million dollars my go
..Cynthia had personally made sure that Chuck ate every content of the dessert in the toilet.The restroom was currently filled with Landon, his classmates, and all the other guests watching the scene.Most of them really felt sorry for Chuck. He had placed a bet that he lost. This was why it was very risky to make bets that one was not sure of winning.Celine looked at Chuck and thought he looked very pitiful in his current state. Any sense of feelings towards the man a few minutes ago had absolutely vanished to be replaced with utter disgust and disdain.The reason Celine liked Chuck at first was because he seemed quite capable and mature but the turn of events suddenly proved otherwise. If Chuck was really capable then he wouldn’t be getting humiliated like this.Besides Celine eyes only fell on one person at this moment. Landon.Just who is he? Never in her wisest dream did she expect the man will pay a bill of two million dollars without batting an eye. Is he rich? Celine could
..The moment Landon saw the Crimson male silhouette standing in the dark room he froze.However, he did not freeze because he was not scared. After all, he has been preparing himself to meet the Crimson figure again, however, most times no matter how hard people try they are never prepared.This was the main reason Landon was currently frozen. It was that he had tried preparing himself for this moment that every question he planned to ask left his mind to amount some few questions.“Why is it I can’t remember the last contents of our conversations?” Landon asked.“…”“Who are you?”“…”“What is my flaw?”“…”Landon repeatedly asked the Crimson but the Crimson figure did not give him any reply instead it kept on staring at Landon, almost as if it was staring deeply at Landon’s inner soul.Landon did not know what to make up for the awkward and tense situation.After the crimson figure looked at Landon in silence for a whole minute it finally started speaking for Landon to hear.“All
..After having his conversation with Eve Landon decided to return to his dormitory so he hailed a cab.It was already 11 pm but the streets of Dimvale City were still busy as ever. They’re people still walking on the streets. This was what made Dimvale City very pleasing to the eye.While Landon was driving he noticed a convoy of Maybach SUVs moving past the cab he was in. There were about six of them. Since such luxurious cars were moving by it was not so hard to notice them. Even Landon could tell someone important is moving.Even when people stared at the convoys in amazement at the beauty of the cars, this amazement did not last long.Bang!A loud sound was suddenly heard as a large Maybach crashed into one of the Maybach SUV’s leading convoys, causing the remaining cars following behind to apply their brakes quickly. The careless driver had appeared from nowhere.Screech!The squealing sounds of cars trying to stop were heard. Even Landon’s cab had applied the brakes since it w
