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
"Good! He will definitely be humiliated this time!” cried Gordon happily.“Don't get excited just yet, Gordon. You still have to do what I ask,” said Liam, who had been watching Gordon and Louis Lerroy plotting revenge on Jack Ashworth."Take it easy, Liam. Gordon will definitely give you what you want. Isn't that right, Gordon?" asked Jordan Michel, who had just been sitting beside Gordon sipping his orange juice."Of course! The woman will definitely come. If I had called her, she would have come like an obedient dog,” replied Gordon with a smile."That's great, Gordon," Liam says.Moments later, the door to the Hawthorne home opened. Gordon was indeed waiting for someone to arrive and now the woman had gone inside, escorted by the house maid. Suzzane walked in with a smile on her face because she thought Gordon was sorry he broke things off with her. She let her blonde hair down beautifully and in waves. She wore miniskirts, high heels, sleeveless shirts, and the most expensive per
"Welcome, Jack," said Louis Leroy as the host.Jack shook his hand and brought red wine as a gift.“High quality wine! Thank you, Jack," said Louis pretending to be friendly.“You are very welcome,” said Jack.Jack entered Louis Lerroy's house and immediately chatted with the guests present. The party that was held that evening was specifically for relaxing and chatting. There weren't too many guests and it was mostly men. Diana Buchanan wasn't here, just a few businesswomen present. For some reason Jack had been secretly expecting Diana to be here. There has been no word from Diana after their meeting yesterday.“So Jack, what about the business you bought from the Langhams? I heard that the profit has decreased in the last two years," said Jordan.“I'm working on it. I'm sure the profits will increase again in my hands, "Jack replied."I like your confidence, Jack," Jordan said, tapping Jack on the shoulder.However, the atmosphere at the party suddenly became tense when Gordon Hawt
Liam, who felt embarrassed and pressured by the situation, suddenly decided to speak in a firm voice "Gordon, just shut up! I'm tired of all your ridiculous acts. Let me talk to Jack."Gordon is shocked and angered by Liam's change in attitude. However, before he could utter any further words, Liam raised his hand to silence him. "Silence, Gordon. I will speak now."Gordon glares at Liam but he doesn't speak. All eyes are focused on Liam who looks even tougher and braver than before."Jack Ashworth," Liam said in a voice heard by everyone, "I apologize for all my inappropriate actions and words. I was wrong. I know that my actions have brought shame to our family. And now, I will undo all my actions that intend to harm you."Everyone in the room was shocked at Liam's words. Gordon looked at her with a face full of anger and confusion. Jordan Michel was still recording all these events and started looking curiously.Liam turns to face Gordon, who looks ready to explode. "Not only that,
“Thank you, Jack. I mean it. Without you, I don't know what those people would have done to my grandfather. My grandfather was being treated after a heart ring implant surgery, I heard suddenly he was kidnapped and luckily someone saved him. I really didn't know that it was you who saved him," Liam said sincerely.He was very ashamed because he had intended to do evil to Jack.“It's just a coincidence. Even if it wasn't your grandfather, I would still save someone from being kidnapped if I could. You can't ignore an SOS code like your grandfather did, can you?” he asked."You are great, Jack," said Louis Lerroy, who had been pretending not to be involved in all of Gordon's plans.Jack just smiled.“So, who intends to harm your grandfather?” Jack asks Liam.“The police don't have enough evidence yet, but considering that our family is well known, I'm sure it's just people trying to blackmail us. My dad and I would have spent a lot of money to save grandpa, but his condition was very we
"Sure, Dad. But, what tender are you talking about?” he asked.Rita sighed and Dylan rolled his eyes at Gordon's question. Dylan even smacked himself on the forehead. Seeing that, Gordon didn't understand why they did that at all."Jeez, honey," said Rita Hawthorne, shaking her head."You spoiled him too much!" Dylan called out to his wife.Rita could only be silent.“What? Why?” Gordon asked with vacant expression.“The open tender announced by the Lerroy company last month. They need a supplier for their latest project. You are friends with Louis Lerroy but have absolutely no idea about this tender? We are already one of the tender participants!” Dylan shouted angrily.Gordon looked down in embarrassment."You know what our family's main business is?" asked Dylan with a sharp look."Of course I know, we make all kinds of soap, from bath soap, dish soap, detergent, and much more," said Gordon with a smile, feeling that he could answer his father's question.“Lerroy opened a new hotel
