“Dylan, come on… I'm sure all the guests at Jamie Cowell's birthday party will forget everything in no time. I don't think it will affect our business,” said Rita, trying to defend her son.Dylan exhaled roughly, indicating that his anger had still not subsided. Gordon was really a disappointment to him. Of all the descendants of the wealthy families in Lumina City who were as old as Gordon, he was the only one who could not yet be trusted with the family business. Dylan hadn't been able to put any of his business into Gordon's hands. Now, Gordon has become the butt of gossip.“You're lucky we made it in time, otherwise you would already have to kneel before that damn servant boy! What an idiot!” Dylan shouted again.“Dad!” protes Gordon.“Shut up! I am so done with you!” cried Dylan. He then walks away.Gordon was teary and his face was read.“Oh dear, your father is just emotional. He will be fine after calming his mind,“ said Rita comforting her daughter.“I will avenge Jack! All o
Jack walked side by side with Ashley. Unknowingly, Ashley was still holding Jack's arm."You can let go now," Jack said with a crooked smile.Ashley was shocked and very embarrassed. He immediately removed his hand from Jack's hand. Her face was red and felt very hot.“Why so shy? Just now you were acting so nice while calling me 'honey'," Jack said with a chuckle.Ashley grew embarrassed by it. Jack then opened the car door for Ashley and Ashley immediately got inside. Jack then got behind the wheel and started the engine.“I'll take you home. Tell me where you live," Jack asked Ashley."Ah, no need, Jack. I can go home alone. You just need to take me to the nearest bus stop, or I can take a taxi," Ashley replied."No. I said I'd take you. Give me your address,” replied Jack.Ashley's heart pounded as she spoke the address. Somehow she was so nervous. Ashley really couldn't hide her love for her boss. However, she must remain professional.Jack smiled faintly as he headed to the addr
“I have tea imported directly from China. Maybe not an expensive one but, I think it's pretty good," Ashley said again, smiling meaningfully."Okay. A cup of tea would be nice,” replied Jack.He followed Ashley into her apartment. The apartment is tiny but very neat and well appointed."I thought you were staying with your family because your mother was sick?" he asked.“Ah no… I've been living alone for a long time. My mother lives with my younger siblings. I often came home late from work, so I decided to live alone and come to my mom's place every weekend, or whenever I could find time,” Ashley replied."I see," replied Jack as he sat down on Ashley's tiny sofa."I'll get the tea in a moment," Ashley replied as she walked into the kitchen.Jack smiled and nodded. He waited while looking around the room. There were pictures of Ashley at graduation, some family photos, and a few other items in the room. Jack didn't see any pictures of Ashley with her friends, they were all just famil
In the morning, Jack woke up because his stomach was hungry. He woken up later today because he was very tired. It's Sunday after all. Jack wants to enjoy all of his present wealth by living in his luxurious mansion. When he came down to the dining room, all the maids were ready to serve him food and drink. This is the life that once existed only in his dreams.Jack sat sipping his coffee and reading the paper. Apparently, word of his new business made it to the local news that morning. "The Langham family property office has been sold on a whim to a new entrepreneur named Ashworth." That's the headline. Jack smiled reading the news. This is just the beginning of it all.Jack then read another column on business and property news. He was interested in the news about the new apartment which was claimed to be the biggest apartment in Lumina City. The apartment will be a center for business, residence, and entertainment. In addition, there will be strategic transportation access in that
Jack and Ashley were already in the car when Suzzane was really crying in the cafe. Jack glanced at Ashley and smiled.“You are a good role player, Ashley. Thanks for helping me today,” said Jack.“No need to thank. All of this is my job as your personal assistant,” Ashley replied.Jack smiled because he chose the right personal assistant. Ashley is reliable in every way and also in bed. Maybe they can do it again someday. Jack could still remember how beautiful Ashley's body without anything covered."So, where are we going now?" she asked."I heard Diana Buchanan used to be in one of the cafes on Avenue Square," Jack said.“Diana Buchanan? The richest building contractor in Lumina City?” she asked."Correct. I overheard a conversation on Jamie Cowell's birthday. Diana Buchanan must be a contractor who has business with the Hawthorne family, I mean the Green Diamond Village apartments,” Jack said."You want to see her?" she asked."Yes, I'd like to see her," Jack replied with a smile
Gordon Hawthorne stepped into the club that night. Enough of all the trouble he's been in lately because of that damn Jack Ashworth. Tonight he will have fun with the beautiful women in the club. The damn Suzzane who always stuck to him is now gone. Gordon didn't want to see that slut again. Because of Suzzane, Gordon became increasingly bullied by his friends. Gordon is accused of taking Jack Ashworth's "leftovers". It indeed hurt Gordon's pride.However, once Gordon arrived at the club, it turned out that his friends were there too. This is indeed the favorite club of conglomerates.“Hey, Gordons! Come join us,” said Jordan Michel.Gordon didn't really want to see them, but he had no choice. With a stiff, forced smile, Gordon greeted them. He then walked towards them and sat down on the long sofa. Loud music shook the room and everyone was seen shaking their heads or bodies. The waitresses dressed sexy milling about with drinks."Hey, handsome. Haven't seen you here in a long time,"
"You mean you only provide services for big projects like Green Diamond Village?" he asked."Green Diamond Village is one of them," answered Diana."What if I offer more than the Hawthorne Group?" asked Jack with a confident smile.Diana now looked at Jack with slight surprise. Now he was beginning to realize what Jack wanted. Rumors circulated among the elite that Jack Ashworth and Gordon Hawthorne did not get along. However, it turns out that Jack Ashworth is not who she thought he was.“Mr. Ashworth—”"Just call me Jack," interrupted Jack."All right, Jack. You see… The Hawthorne family had several big businesses and they were a big company. You only have one real estate business and I'm sorry if I'm being too direct, but I know how the business you just bought has performed in the last two years. How can you possibly offer more than they offer?” asked Diana, getting to the point."Just give me the number and we'll see if I can offer more," Jack said.Diana fell silent. She saw suc
The fight was fierce in the dark alley. The two men who had threatened Jack with knives tried to attack him aggressively, but Jack dodged each of their attacks with incredible agility. He makes use of his martial skills, being able to see the gaps between enemy attacks and deliver precise counterpunches. However, one of the men managed to hit Jack's arm with his knife. Blood dripped out onto Jack's arm."Go!" one of the masked men exclaimed.Jack knew he wouldn't win empty-handed like this."System, exchange 1 point for a martial art," Jack said in a low voice."What? What do you say?" asked one of them. They looked at each other in confusion.[Welcome, user Jack Ashworth. Exchanging 1 point for martial arts skills has been successful.]"I said, I'm going to beat you both up," Jack said."Damn it!" they shouted.The exchange of blows and quick movements made the atmosphere even more tense. Both seem well-trained, but Jack has the upper hand with his careful mix of physical strength an
