On the stage, Ms. Jasmine was so angry that it made her face flush. On top of that, this self-titled retard was questioning her about "meaning." It was unbelievable!Did this Ratherford young master intend to continue telling lies? Or rather, did he throw his brain into a blender? Ms. Jasmine furiously thought to herself."I should be the one asking you, young master Rocco, why are you deliberately increasing the price? For a second time, do I need to remind you who the seller is?" Ms. Jasmine spoke with a clear conviction in her voice. "Aren't you afraid of people gossiping behind your back?"Ms. Jasmine wasn't an average woman that would easily bend to bribes...Everything was overturned by Ms. Jasmine's statement...At that moment, a man in formal attire had a deep frown on his countenance. He mumbled. "Increasing the price?"A man from a respectable background was displaying a doubtful face, as he stated. "Is Ms. Jasmine implying that young master Rocco is the seller but somehow
Ms. Jasmine could still recall when he was having a conversation with the private detective that his father had personally hired to find out where Sett Crossword had gotten his hand on that precious jewelry. Nonetheless, not everything goes as planned."Ms. Jasmine, we haven't found anything on Sett Crossword besides him being a member of the Crossword family...." The private detective felt ashamed of himself for his failure, for not being able to dig up any information about who Sett Crossword really is!"There is no record of him at all."Sett's being a member of the Crossword family was a given, and that's not what she and her father were after, but the fact of how he got his hands on those "items," the blue diamonds, and their hidden value.Suddenly, Ms. Jasmine's reminiscence of that time was cut short as she heard her name being mentioned."Ms. Jasmine? Are you alright?""Ah, yes, I'm alright... Sorry about that." Ms. Jasmine's face was slightly red, feeling embarrassed."It's
At this time, where the busy guests of the auction house were either collecting their legal documents after winning their bids or they were retreating toward the exit, young master Rocco could be seen with his men; he was scowling after one of his subordinates didn't appear, which was irritating. Well, not exactly a subordinate, as Glenn wouldn't listen to his command. It was really infuriating on his part.Just then, one of young master Rocco's subordinates spoke with a hushed voice."Young Master, I don't trust that guy. Also, there are rumors about him r*ping the daughter of his client the night before her celebration....." Before he could even finish, Young Master Rocco snapped at him. "Shut up! That's none of your f*cking business. You hear me, boy?""Y-Yes, sir...""Good that you understand..... Now that you mention it, where did that sly bastard go?" Young master Rocco scratched his head while looking around for Glenn. He was baffled as to what that punk was doing."Never min
In the back alley, Sett studied his surroundings while glancing from time to time at the dark corner.After finishing that, Sett returns his gaze to his foe and even examines them from head to toe. These guys wearing professional apparel of a back tuxedo, that one would see in movies. Sett couldn't help but chuckle coldly; this bunch of clowns indeed came in numbers. Was he really that important to them? This fellow should cut him some slack!Nothing less, there was a guy who stood out among the other men in black. Sett narrowed his eyes at that person. The person was none other than Glenn.'Hmm? Isn't he the one with that scumbag Rocco?' He kept his thoughts in the back of his head while letting out a whiff of air to cool his head. Earlier, he had sensed an overwhelming presence, so it was from him. There's no mistaking it."This is troubling...." Sett mumbled as he locked his gaze on Glenn; he was the perfect package. He was tall and had the looks to rival any male model, and hid
"I'm the only one you want dead, right? Why don't we settle it in an honorable way? You and I, how about it?" Sett gritted his teeth, and when he shouted about a challenge against Glenn, Sett didn't forget to glare daggers at Glenn, who was mocking him. However, what Sett didn't expect was when Glenn let out a mocking face, and that's when he turned dead serious. "You see, I prefer to do things my way." Hearing that Sett's expression turn dark for almost an instant, as he understood what he meant. The men in ebony tuxedos start to signal at each other as they came closer to Sett limiting his movements. Using numbers to defeat him? What a cheap bastard! Was he even a man? Sett thought while feeling annoyed. The fight broke out. At first, Sett had the initiative in the fight, managing to land a few solid hits on his opponents; however, it quickly boiled down to quantity. If they were merely three to four athletes, Sett could fight them. Unlucky for them, they were all professional at
Ever since that day at the casino, Ms. Scarlett has considered the smart little girl Natasha as family. Ms. Scarlett could somehow relate to the little girl's situation; at some point in Ms. Scarlett's life, it was f*cked up. Regardless, Ms. Scarlett wouldn't want others' lives messed up as well, especially a young child.Although the little girl Natasha was somewhat afraid of the outside world, particularly when she was abducted, that changed after meeting Ms. Scarlett, who was kind to her. Natasha was willing to open up her heart once again. Also, she was an obedient little girl, which was a plus!At this moment, Ms. Scarlett was narrowing her eyes at the individual that was suspiciously walking at a fast pace toward Sheila. At first, Ms. Scarlett was contemplating whether she should act or not. But when she looked at the screen of her phone, she then lifted her head toward the clueless Sheila, who seemed to be waiting for someone. Ms. Scarlett's face turned sour for a moment befo
Glenn hadn't foreseen something like this would occur. He was boiling with resentment! Who the f*ck threw a freaking door right in his face? He slowly stood up while staring hard at the emergency exit's doorway. To his astonishment, a lady's silhouette could be seen. A woman? Why would women come out of the emergency exit? At the very least it should be a man; after all, it wasn't logical for a woman to toss a heavy door! Glenn was having a hard time processing his thoughts; in any case, it was an eye-opener for him. Not long after, Ms. Scarlett emerged out of the emergency exit with her usual calm and collected expression. Oh c'mon! This lady wants to fight with him and his men? Glenn scoffed; there was just no way that was possible. Although he didn't believe it, he wouldn't be foolish enough to confront a woman of an unknown origin. With that, Glenn moved his chin slightly as a signal for his men to surround Ms. Scarlett. "Who would have thought that a woman would come for th
Yesterday's event made Sett decide that he would use the law against the Ratherfords, as he couldn't slide what happened.Just because he wasn't actively fighting the Ratherfords doesn't mean he wouldn't retaliate if he were attacked. Those Ratherford scumbags were really pushing their luck! Also, Sett had a hunch that Glenn scum and his men wouldn't easily let go of their victim. Presently, the problem was... "You want to file a complaint against the Ratherfords?" The pot-bellied police officer on the disk glanced at Sett with a dismissive look in his eyes.Sett was in disbelief at the police officer's plain lies. He was frowning while mulling over the fact that the police officer was acting unreasonably."My apologies, but today, you see, we were quite busy with all the complaints, and I can tell that it isn't urgent. You can file a report and you can leave." While picking at his ears, the pot-bellied police officer casually stated.When Sett saw the police officer's skeptical att
