Amelia, who was chatting away merrily with Oliver turned sour as soon as she saw James walking in.

"Oh, hi. Ava, you're here. Oliver got up from the couch smiling. The tone he used was like the one that came from the host instead.

"You're here too, James," Oliver said with a smile glancing at the things James brought.

James cursed deep down.

He thought Oliver was shameless enough to believe he was family.

He didn't like that an outsider like Oliver acted as if he was the son-in-law.

"Mom, Ava remained resentful at Oliver after what happened before, putting the gifts they bought and saying, "James got these for you."

Amelia still resented the attitude Ava took with her in the office, causing her to reply coldly, "I'm not taking any of it. who knows what's in there anyways?

"Some people might pretend to be the good guy while being completely something else instead, driving a wedge between the mother and the daughter, hoping that the mother would die an early death the whole time

    James headed silently for the bathroom after he left the room, calling Henry. Hi, Mr. Miller, it's me..." Henry who was taking care of some documents in his office, greeted James. "Stop everything going on in exhibition center No.7," James said coldly. Yes, Mr. Miller. Henry got up after hearing just how cold James sounded, nodding respectfully. He was puzzled as to what was going on after he hung up. "This is weird. Mr. Miller never bothered with what was going on with the exhibition centers before. Why did he get so interested all of a sudden?" Come in here, Henry summoned his assistant and asked, "Who's in charge of exhibition center no 7, and what's going on in there lately?" "Sir, his assistant, Mr sheriff, checked on the tablet for a bit and replied quickly, there would be a jewelry Charity expo going on in there, organized by James Collins, the jewelry tycoon of HonorGrave. "But the person in charge of the venue is Oliver Cooper." "Wait, who?" Henry threw his eyes wide

    "Why? But we've reached an agreement at that time, haven't we?" Being surprised and panicked due to his words, Oliver asked incoherently, "what's more, you told me that Mr. Meyer has already agreed to it."But Mr. Meyer changes his mind now, Mr. Stewart shouted in a tone full of unhappiness and anger. "You just need to know that exhibition no 7 will be closed for the time being."After stating that, Mr. Stewart hung up the call. He regretted agreeing to cooperate with Oliver. if it was not for him, he would not be blamed by Mr. Meyer.Oliver stood in amazement and shock for a long time.He didn't know what had happened and why Mr. Meyer had changed his mind all of a sudden.A few days before, Mr. Stewart promised him that he would not only let him hold an event in exhibition no 7 but he would help them reach a deal.Why did he suddenly cancel the exhibition?Did he offend him or did he do something improper?"Noticing Oliver's gloomy face, Amelia thought it was strange and asked out o

    The woman who was making a call was Janie Julius, deputy director of exhibition center no 7. She had a hot temper and was vigorous and resolute in work.Raising his head, James saw that w few workers were busy moving tables and desks. He then lowered his head to look at his clothes and suddenly knew why Janie urged him to work.So it turned out that she thought he was one of the day laborers."Come with me." Hanging up the call and noticing that James was still stunned, Janie shouted at him once again.Not finding a good chance to explain it, James gave up this idea and entered the hall with Janie.Although the woman has a short fuse, her figure was very hot. Her long and slender legs were very sexy and charming."Hurry up, before midnight, we have to finish the cleaning. Looking at the busy workers, Janie ordered in a loud voice.After finishing her words, she took two chairs and worked with these day laborers.It made James surprised. Unconsciously, James had a favorable impression

    "where are you?" With a face full of impatience, James said, "Hurry up and get here!"Noticing that James ignored them totally, Tommy and Sandra became even more furious."Mr. Wilson, look at him!" Stamping her feet out of anger, Sandra pointed at James and shouted, "How dare he to disregard you! He is going too far!"Security guards, come here!" Tommy ordered in anger. "Catch him. When the police came here, tell them that he is a thief and is about to steal our exhibit.A thief?Hearing what he said James couldn't help but sneer. They were so matching, both of them were good at framing people up.Soon two security guards came out of the door and seized James by his arms."You will regret what you are doing now." Staring at Tommy and Sandra fixedly, James didn't do anything to resist."Stop joking." Sandra mocks him with a sneer. "Poor boy, such a lowly man like you does not even qualify to polish shoes for us. Just wait to be thrown into prison.Janie, who initially didn't want to ge

    "Me?" Standing beside James, Janie was very shocked when she heard it."Could it be that you want me to do it?" Looking at Janie, who was very stunned, James joked with her.Nodding her head respectfully, Janie went to Tommy and Sandra."Please."Realizing that they were fired, Tommy and Sandra were stunned."It is all your fault. You ruined my future!" As Tommy went out, he cursed Sandra."My fault? You are not qualified to blame me! Facing Tommy's reproach, Sandra refuted him in an angry tone.Looking at them going out, Leo gave his secretary a sign and let her follow them.Mr. Miller's true identity was very critical, and he couldn't let anyone reveal his secret.Then, turning around and pointing at the VIP lounge inside, Janie said in a respectful tone, "Mr. Miller and Mr. Meyer, this way, please."Mr. Miller, please." Leo bowed slightly and waited for James to go first. Nodding his head slightly, James entered the private room with Janie.It was more like a separate small courtya

    "Out for a walk?" Oliver mocked with eyes full of sarcasm. "Do you know where this is?"I didn't expect you would be so bold to come here. Hurry up and return home. Don't tarnish Ava's reputation anymore, okay?"Oliver was unhappy due to the sudden incident. He worried he would be awkward in front of Amelia and Joseph if the exhibition were canceled.This way, it would be more difficult for him to marry Ava.So the moment Oliver noticed James was there, he couldn't help but be annoyed. The anger he suppressed just now all burst out at this moment."Why can't I be here?" Being unsatisfied with his query, James pouted unhappily and asked.Frowning slightly, Janie thought that Oliver was very silly when she heard what he had just said. He probably would never expect that the man who was laughed at by him now was the owner of the exhibition center no 7.To be exact, if there would be no James, there would be no exhibition center no 7.A loser like you is not qualified to appear here," Oli

    That is also possible, Mr. Cooper. I just want to make things very clear to you." Janie Julius pointed with her thumb to exhibition center no 7 behind her. "As long as I am here, you can forget about renting this center for your use.""Why, looks like you are unwilling to concede to my terms?" In addition to the earlier aggressive approach, Janie, the irascible tough lady, continued in a tone of bitchness. "Oh my, I simply love the look on people's faces when they can't stand me, yet there's absolutely nothing they can do to me."James Miller, who was standing by the side, thought with utmost glee. "Janie is a buried gold nugget that has not to been mined. Thank goodness I am dressed inconspicuously tonight for this secret visit. With my astute foresight, I can tell at a glance that she is a talent."While inwardly gloating, James did not forget to heap self-praise upon himself. "I am such a good talent scout. I have such a good eye for hidden gems!"Although he did not identify himse

    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." Tony covered his cheek and stood by the

    "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
