No matter how much Alan Bottoms try convincing Fiona, Fiona only became disgusted and irritated with him more.As for everybody else, it was as if they were watching an intense movie that they couldn’t understand for the time being.At this moment, Rex Magnus who has remained invisible since the beginning finally couldn’t watch and listen silently anymore as another guy tries to poach his wife from him, especially being the alpha guy he is.After watching his wife’s face for a while and seeing the look there, he finally smiled happily, then he suddenly glared coldly at Alan Bottoms.“Mister, I don’t know if I should commend or be disgusted with you, imagine, trying to move to the lady whose best friend you’ve shattered, just wow!”Hearing Rex Magnus’ voice which was filled to the brim with sarcasm, the words that were about to leave Alan Bottoms' mouth instantly became stuck in his throat, then with his eyes filled with killing intents, he glare****“Young Master, are you okay?”“Do you need water?”“Young Master Bottoms, do you need to see the medics?”Feeling their concerns and hearing the words coming out of their mouths, Alan Bottoms' face only darken further, then gazing at everybody's faces for a while, he knew he already threw away his face today, and it was caused by these people.Suddenly, he glanced toward Curtly, then his eyes became filled to the brim with hatred and evilness, then he turned his gaze to Christiana who has changed position, now standing behind her Fiancée with the same gaze.Finally, he glanced with eyes filled with killing intent at Rex Magnus, the person he felt had made him lose control of his emotion and ruined all his chances of ever coming clean.After this, he breathed in deeply, then wordlessly, he turned around, then filled with all sorts of evil emotions, he dragged his legs away.Seeing him like this, nobody dared to interfere or a word anymore
***** Knowing that not even his father who’s the most powerful person in his family could go against a single person in the Rodriguez family, not to talk of one of their biggest property, Alan Bottoms could only accept the ridiculing and judgmental gazes being given to him by everybody that saw him as he left Maple Leaves hotel.Presently, Alan Bottoms' eyes were completely red and filled with killing intents that he could only forcefully contain within himself.“Those bastards are so dead today?”Like someone who has lost his mind, Alan Bottoms stormed toward his car with his fists clenched forcefully, then he entered his car and closed the door with a bang, transferring all the aggression within him to the poor car.Just as Alan Bottoms was about to start the car and drive away furiously, his eyes subconsciously went to the pink car parked before his car, then instantly, a hint of recognition appeared in his crazed eyes.Although extremely weal
****‘Wait a second,’ Christiana’s eyes suddenly widen, then she looked toward the submissive middle-aged man who was currently standing respectfully before Scarlet.‘If it was as I’d thought, wouldn’t that mean Mister Stones is one of my Fiancée’s underlings and not the other way around? Wow!!’Christiana suddenly became even more excited when she thought this that she almost began to hop and scream around, but she controlled herself well.‘This is great! This is so great! I knew it! Why was I always disgusted with him in the past and would rather settle down with John? My eyes surely are very talented to recognize a real gem!’While Christiana was busily jubilating inside her mind, Scarlet and Bucam Stones were finally done with their greetings and introductions, then Scarlet glanced at John and giggled.“Look at you, you’re now a big man, hun? Is it because of love or something else, you now look more handsome and mature.”She winked playf
**** “Brother, you sure you aren’t mistaken?” “Hun?” John's eyes widen when he heard his sister's question, then he watched her carefully to check if she wasn’t pranking him again. Realizing that his sister seemed to be dead serious, John rolled his eyes helplessly at her. “Dear elder sister, do you think I would make a costly mistake like that?” Scarlet instantly became further dumbfounded, then her mind refused to think again. Just at this moment, Christiana whom the crowd parted the way for finally arrived, then she bowed slightly to Scarlet whose eyes were unfocused right now. ‘Don’t tell me this is the case of the sister-in-law read-handily catching her brother's wife cheating on her brother.’ The guard behind Scarlet who is also currently flabbergasted couldn’t help but think with his mouth wide open. Thinking this, the guard abruptly glanced subconsciously at John's face, then at Bosham Stone's face, before his gaze eventually settled d
**** John suddenly smacked his lips together and gazed helplessly at his sister. “What a strange question from you, sister. The relationship between Mister Stones here and my babe is that of a big boss and a subordinate.”John explained, then seeing the deep frown that abruptly appeared on his sister's face, he thought she doesn’t understand him, so he explained further. “Sister, as I’d told you before while working in the media company which was chaired by Mister Stones here, I happen to be a unit director, which you already knew of. My babe works directly under me, the rest of the story, I’ve told you.”Both John and Christiana instantly couldn’t help but exchange gazes when John finished his story, then they both blushed hard before directly looking down at the same time.As for Scarlet, her face has become deathly pale right now.‘This shouldn’t be! This shouldn’t be! Why would my brother fall in love with a whore!’‘Of all ladies in the world, o
***** The moment Bucam Stones heard Scarlet’s words, he became nervous-stricken and thick beads of sweat instantly covered his entire body.“You… you can’t do this. What… what power do you have to… to make this decision, and… and have you forgotten that the partnership between your family and I is solely about business?” The middle-aged man’s voice trembled as him, but he tried as much as he could to show a courageous font.Once Scarlet heard him, she couldn’t help but become filled to the brim with anger, so she instantly mocked the middle-aged man before uttering coldly. “If those are your beliefs, then I can only tell you now that you shouldn’t worry much, our family's lawyer shall be the first person to contact you tomorrow morning.”Hearing this, Bucam Stones' heart instantly died, then his eyes became utterly unfocused.The rate at which he trembles started increasing. It was as if he would faint at any given moment if care if not taken.
**** ‘Why would a whole manager of this hotel whose identity could instill fear into everybody suddenly bow to him, and with the expression on his face, he wasn’t surprised?’ Both Fiona and Sally were currently filled with all sorts of thoughts, but they couldn’t and doesn’t know how to voice them out. With their hearts thumping loudly in their chests, they could only watch what was going on and do nothing. Never would they have known that Rex Magnus was actually as equally stunned as them right now. ‘How does she know that I own the so-called golden card?’ His face suddenly furrowed after a while as he studies the lady who was currently bowing and smiling respectfully & apologetically to him. Although he was feeling the sudden change in atmosphere within the hall and the gazes being given to him by everybody, he doesn’t give a damn. After studying Scarlet’s face for a while, Rex Magnus finally decided to show her what she was asking for, since he could feel her honesty. Makin
***** “Boohoo! Grandmother, would my suffering today be in vain?!” “Grand… grandmother, would… would that wench triumph over us just like that after stepping on your face?” “Please do something about it, don’t let that family you publicly denounced win and make you a liar!” “Mother, please something needed to be done as soon as possible, or else, wouldn’t you just be letting your grandson suffer like that from an outsider because of an outcast?” At this moment, within the Johnson family's estate. Although it was already very late into the night, the Old Matriarch's villa was still very crowded right now with everybody showing their unwillingness and unhappiness toward the Old Matriarch. Although it wasn’t exactly as it happened, the news of what occurred today has already spread out and various rumors have already been formed. Everybody, especially the members of the Johnson family had been shocked to death after the news of Fiona, a member of an outcast branch was made the CEO
