"Here, fill it up," Daniel opened all the wine bottles and poured all the wine into the bucket.

Looking at the bucket filled with wine, Ava frowned again.

"James, you have to know that Ava is the dream girl of the boys in our Hugh school back then," Daniel pretended to be tipsy and spoke slowly, staggering slightly.

"But none of us thought she would marry a loser like you. You must be lucky to have a wife like Ava.

"Isn't that so, guys?"

"Yes," Greg supported, "what a lucky bastard. James remained silent and did not retort.

He knew that saying anything would be wrong at times like this.

"In that case, drink this bucket of wine," Daniel said seriously. Then he threatened, "You are not a man if you don't drink it."

With them forcing him to drink the bucket of wine. James calmly said, "I'll drink.

However, Daniel and Greg exchanged a malicious look when James picked up the bucket of wine.

The two of them pushed the bucket, and the wine in it spilled on James' face.

    "I may have a suggestion. There are many of you here. Why don't you split the check and pay?" The manager lifted his eyebrow and spoke. "What? Split the bill?" The woman in the black dress exclaimed. Others did not agree either. They did not want to pay for the bill Noah promised to treat them. Noah kept his head low and remained silent, ignoring the manager's suggestion. "Otherwise," the manager's tone sounded harsh compared to just now as he continued, "We have no choice but to call the police." "Call the police?" There was an uproar in the crowd when they heard the manager mention about calling the police. "No, you can't call the police. My parents will break my legs if they know." "Yeah, I'll never be able to have fun anymore." "What a bummer." Some were from wealthy families and relied on their parents to provide them with money. They did not want to get involved with this matter and ruined their future fun. Others who weren't from wealthy families had not enough money

    "What's the matter?" Greg was alarmed. He asked in a daze, "Hasn't James paid for the meal? Why aren't you letting us leave?" "Yes, why are you stopping us from leaving?" Daniel asked impatiently. Others stopped walking out of the restaurant when they heard the commotion. "Well, the restaurant manager pointed at James politely and said, "Mr. Miller had only paid half of the bill. He said you will pay for the rest, Mr. Taylor." "What?" "Pay for another half of the bill?" Greg and Daniel gasped when they recalled how huge the amount of the bill was. It was still expensive, even with half of the bill paid. Both of them looked at each other. James had allowed others to leave but insisted Greg, Daniel, and Noah stay back and pay the bill. It made Greg and Daniel wonder if James was taking revenge on them. "Mr. Taylor," the manager still had a smile on his face as he said, "Please pay for the other half of the bill." Noah's face turned pale, and anger boiled in him. He had lost h

In addition to the project with Nymphoods, the Bailey Group had other real estate projects. Among them, the acquisition project of Waltson garment factory was imminent. Jackson Bailey, the chairman, sat in the main seat in the conference room with a stern look. "We must get the Waltson Garment factory's land. Otherwise, we won't be able to proceed with the Busteen Garden project, and the land we bought will have less value." As he spoke the managers and high chair executive officers complained. "Chairman, we went dozens of times, but we didn't even meet with the owner of Waltson Garment Factory." Even dozens of real estate companies like Bennett Group failed to meet the owner." "I think Waltson Garment factory's owner is trying to increase the selling price of their land and reap more benefits from us." Liste

Jackson put down the documents and nodded in satisfaction. "I believe that you would be able to purchase the Waltson Garment Factory's land with ease.""Don't worry, Grandpa. I won't let you down," Although Ava said so, she was not confident with that project."Grandpa..." Angela opened the chairman's office door and walked in."Angela, you are here," Jackson beckoned her to approach him."Angela, I have good news to share with you," Jackson pointed at her, who sat beside Ava and continued, "The representative of Walton Garment Factory that is negotiating the terms with you is one of your cousins from the Black family.""So, Angela is going to accompany you tonight."Ava forced a smile and said, "Oh, is that so?

    Ava took off the black eye mask and wore her windbreaker. She held her bag tightly and headed back into the private room. Noah was relieved to see Ava back. Look!" Angela sneered and said, "I said she would come back." "Mr. Taylor, let's sit down and talk," Ava went straight into the topic as she addressed Noah politely. "Okay, Noah nodded obediently and sat down in the seat beside her, ogling at her beautiful legs under the trench coat. "Come on, Ava. Let's toast," Noah grinned as he filled Ava's glass with some wine. "I'm sorry," Ava said coldly, I'm here to talk about business, not to toast my drinks." Ava knew Noah's intention and decided not to drink a single glass of wine offered by him. She would never fall for it. Seeing that they did not manage to fool Ava, Angela spoke out.

    CHAPTER 248

    Although Jeffery heard that the Peter’s organization had collapsed, he was still very stubborn. He said, "James, I don't care if you are a useless piece of trash or Mr. Miller. When my backing comes, you'll definitely die." He just finished saying it. Then a group of men entered through the entrance of the hotel. When a male assistant who was in front of the group stopped walking, a video call was made to James’s cell phone. As james looked at the number, he raised his eyebrows and had a disdainful expression on his face."Davis..." James called and looked at the large television screen above him and nodded. "Yes, Mr. Miller." Davis understood immediately.Immediately, a familiar figure appeared on the television screen. The man was wearing an exquisitely designed and well-cut suit. His hair was neatly combed and he was wearing a pair of spectacles with refined gold frames. His eyes were like that of an eagle's; sharp and threatening. He exuded an irresistible and powerful aura from h

    "Sure, I will go and carry it out," Tony said politely and hurriedly. "Withdraw all of Jeffery’s money from the Bank." Gracious lit a cigarette and took a deep puff. She blew out a long trail of smoke and continued, "And retrieve his collection of paintings as well.""Ms. Gracious, what are your plans?" Tony heard Gracious instructions and thought that she was planning to run away with all of Jeffery’s valuables and assets and not bothered about whether he was dead or alive."Tony, is this how you think of me?" Gracious walked over, raised her hand and gave him a hard slap. She continued, "Although I spend money and fool around with that gigolo that does not mean I am an ungrateful woman."Jeffery paid for my freedom from a nightelub and married me. I will never forget his kindness."Furthermore, even if I wanted to take everything, do you think that the other three women and their kids would allow that to happen? I'm still aware of my status."

    "Sure, Mr. Miller," on the other side of the line, Leo answered respectfully. At this instant, Isaac who looked almost unrecognizable due to the beatings, was almost certain that James was not a fake. He was actually from the Miller family. However, he did not understand why James had to reduce himself to a useless piece of trash although he had such a powerful and wealthy background."James, you are really good at faking," Jeffery spoke arrogantly. When he heard his godfather's words, Isaac frowned and thought,"Godfather, godfather, do you know who you have offended?""We are finished, we are finished. This time, godfather is really finished. Even our family would... would also be destroyed."___At Sunshine___"Ms. Gracious... Ms. Gracious... Something has happened! Something disastrous has happened!"The housekeeper went upstairs and opened the bedroom door. At that moment, Gracious and her boy toy were messing around on the bed. Due to the sudden appearance of the housekeeper, Gra

    Upon hearing that, Jeffery was completely stunned."James, what did you say?"Isaac had lost all his hopes. He was howling like a mad dog and said, "What makes you think that my godfather will listen to you?He is Jeffery Dick!""No matter... No matter where he is, be it in Sunshine or other places, no one dares to mess with him "Really, Mr. Dick? If what you say is true, why is your godfather kneeling here?"Davis gloated at him. "That is because...Godfather, what are you doing? Please get up! Why do you need to kneel before this piece of useless trash?You..." Isaac did not know how to reply Davis. He started wailing and shouting at Jeffery.Before Isaac finished his sentence, James pulled the trigger suddenly. The bullet brushed past his ear and hit a statue in the center of the lobby of the hotel. The bullet that came out of the gun hit the statue directly on its head.A loud bang was heard when the statue's head broke into half.Then the statue fell on the ground and broke into

    Jeffery's body cringed as he felt the pain after James kicked him. However, very quickly, two members in the black camo suits came between two of them."James..." Jeffery tried to bear the pain in his body and covered his face. He wanted to save face and give himself a last trace of pride. He scoffed, "Don't think I am scared because of what you had planned and arranged!""Let me tell you! I... I am not afraid. I started making a living when I was 12 years old. I had to fight my way through, and I have seen so many bloody fights, confrontations and upheavals. I got through them all. Do you think I will be defeated today?""If you let me off today, we will talk it out. I will also forget that this matter had ever happened." Although Jeffery did not know who James really was, he already had a taste of what he was capable of. Now, he was trapped and unable to do anything. He had to do some sweet talk and get out of this humiliation.If not, he would not be able to survive in Sunshine or

    "An armed car?"Jeffery's eyes were wide open."Mr. Dick, be careful!" As a piece of broken glass was about to pierce into Jeffery's neck, one of his men jumped in front of him to protect him.Then the armored car charged in. It was well equipped, and the members of the team dressed in black cami suits had live ammunition.Jeffery was in a state of shock. His men could not move at all when they saw the members of the team in black camo suits.Jeffery had been in many confrontations and fights all his life. However, he had never seen such a powerful and imposing battle array.Before he could come back to his senses, he felt whirlwind coming his way."Is that a... plane?" One of his men pointed to a big piece of open space. They saw a few planes that had landed there. "Not just planes, they are fighter planes... No, no, no, they should be combat aircraft." One of the men corrected him.After hearing "combat aircraft," the lobby was filled with sounds of things hitting the ground.Jeffer

    "What are you talking about?" Jeffery gave this man one tight slap. "Of course, we have to save Isaac, but we need to deal with James and Davis.""Yes, Mr. Dick," All his men lowered their heads and roared in unison. As the sky got darker,Jeffery’s men finally found out where James was. "James was at his former residence. It is one of the Millers properties. The latest news is that Davis and James are now in the Hotel in the southern district.""Miller’s organization?" Jeffery squinted his eyes and snorted, "Leo has really done a lot. Just because James had saved his son, he actually allowed them to hide in one of his houses."Jeffery had investigated earlier on that James was the Bailey’s family's useless son-in-law. Then he had the backing and support of Leo to become the man with power and status today.After knowing all these, he despised James even more."What are we waiting for?Let's go." Jeffery drank the red wine from the glass and said, "Today I want James to beg like a dog
