Scholtz turned to Linda, a deep crease forming between his brows. Her arrogant, smug face irritated him.“And who are you, if I may ask? Why do you think you have the right to interfere in this matter?” Scholtz asked sarcastically.“Who am I?” Linda shot back, staring at Scholtz in disbelief. A moment later, she sneered.“She’s the mayor’s niece,” George chimed in, feeling the need to defend his girlfriend. “I don’t know who you are, but I’d suggest you watch your tone around her. After all, she’s related to the top official in Mildenbrough.”Scholtz glared at George, and George defiantly raised his chin, signaling that he wasn’t intimidated.George and Linda’s arrogant attitude left Tony and the flight attendant stunned. Unlike them, Tony and the flight attendant knew exactly who Scholtz was and just how influential he was in Mildenbrough and other cities.“You said the seats Mr. Scott and his wife reserved were already taken by two other passengers, right?” Scholtz asked the flight
"I'm waiting," Scott said, staring at George with disdain. George returned Scott’s gaze, but his arrogance had disappeared. With someone as powerful as Scholtz backing Scott, how could he possibly act so smug as before? “What’s going on here?” Scholtz asked, turning to the flight attendant. The attendant responded, “These two made a bet, sir. If Mr. Scott and his wife had entered the wrong cabin, they’d have to kneel before these two and address them as ‘Sir’ and ‘Madam.’ But if they didn’t, then the reverse would happen.” Scholtz frowned. “That’s the bet they made?” “More or less, sir. For more details, you might want to ask Tony, since he was involved in the wager,” the attendant added. Scholtz turned his gaze to Tony, who glared at the attendant, clearly displeased by being outed. But it was the truth. “You were involved?” Scholtz asked coldly. “Explain.” “Um…” Tony hesitated, thinking about how to phrase his words. “Yes, Mr. Scholtz. That was the bet, and in the end, these
Scott couldn’t understand what was going through Lisa’s mind, why she kept sending him texts as if she were trying to terrorize him.In her latest message, Lisa told Scott there was no point in him going to Ravenshire because, as she had said before, in a few days Scott would be forced to leave Mildenbrough for good."What’s wrong? Is something bothering you?" asked Luisa, noticing the change in Scott’s expression."Ah, it’s nothing," Scott said quickly, putting his phone on airplane mode and shoving it back into his pocket.Luisa gave him an irritated look, likely upset that Scott had lied again by saying “it’s nothing,” but she soon leaned her head back against the seat and closed her eyes.Scott tried to do the same, leaning his head back, but he didn’t close his eyes. Instead, he stared at the luggage compartment above, wondering what his ex-fiancée was planning.…At Grandier Corp, inside Lisa’s office."What?! Scott escaped your brother’s trap?" Lisa demanded from Denis.[Yeah,
In the city hall, in the mayor's aides' office...Denis had just opened his laptop when his phone vibrated. He checked it. There was an incoming chat message from Lisa.He opened the message. Denis immediately made a sour face, finding the chat message so long.In essence, in her message, Lisa complained at length about how her days had become so bad in the last few days, and it was all because of that bastard Scott.Lisa also explained the latest situation at her family's company, Grandier Corp., where she was now threatened with losing her position. And not only that, her family who worked there could also be affected.Lisa ended her long message by asking Denis to really punish Scott as she had planned. She also asked Denis to help her gain privileged access to Dominion Group later.After reading it, Denis sighed. Lisa was a real demanding person. No wonder she was always changing boyfriends in college; no rich or popular guy on campus lasted long in a romantic relationship with he
Scott's hands continued to move down until they finally touched Luisa's boobs. Reflexively, Luisa sighed. It made Scott's desire increase drastically. Scott finally squeezed his wife's boobs while taking a deep breath.This time Luisa didn't just sigh, but screamed. But it wasn't a positive response. Suddenly Luisa removed Scott's hands from her boobs, then stood up and turned around, moving slightly away from Scott."What's wrong?" Scott asked, surprised and anxious.Luisa looked at Scott intensely. Her chest rose and fell with her rough breathing.Then she looked down, slightly to the right. There was a kind of guilt visible on her face.Scott was even more worried about Luisa. Luisa's reaction reminded him of the night of their wedding, when Scott and Luisa were about to sleep together—in the same room—for the first time."You okay?" Scott asked."I'm so sorry, Scott," Luisa replied, shaking her head. "I don't think I'm ready for this."Scott sighed. His guess was right. His wife s
Everyone in the bar turned their gaze to Scott, including the bearded man and the woman who was the victim of his slap."Who the fuck are you? Did you even know what you just did to me?!" the bearded man glared at Scott."Yeah, I did. I threw an empty glass at someone who deserved it," Scott said, smirking while raising his chin."You fucking bastard! You're going to regret this stupidity, pal!""Will I? I'm not sure about that."Scott's facial expression and tone clearly showed that he was belittling the bearded man. Of course, this made the bearded man unhappy. He lowered his hand holding his head and found the blood there. He looked back at Scott and grinned."Come here, you son of a bitch! Let's duel like men!" the bearded man challenged."Okay," Scott replied, his hands still in his pants pockets.The bearded man took off his sleeveless vest. Now his large body with a broad, hard chest was visible under his black tank top.The people near the door started to move away. They knew
Scott knew he was in trouble. He had to get away from Evelyn, and fast.“You don’t owe me anything. I just did what I thought I had to do. That’s it,” Scott said, letting go of Evelyn’s hand.Evelyn looked at him, confused, but Scott didn’t care. He brushed past her, leaving her there. Meanwhile, Luisa was making her way back to their table, glancing occasionally in his direction.Evelyn watched Scott’s retreat with a puzzled expression, unable to understand why he had said that. But something else bothered her more: Scott had walked away, refusing her offer to treat him to a drink and stay with her for a while.She felt slighted, especially since she’d put effort into her appearance to work at that bar—to chat with customers, share drinks, and earn good tips.Scott must’ve had a pretty strong reason to turn down an offer like that.Right now, though, Scott wasn’t thinking about Evelyn’s reaction at all. His focus was on Luisa. He quickened his pace, ignoring a few patrons who tried t
Scott was shocked by what the blue-haired man did. He threw Evelyn like he was throwing a plastic bag into a river. Now Evelyn was flying in front of Scott, towards him. He really wanted to catch Evelyn, but he was still holding Luisa.So what Scott did was put his wife's weight on one hand, while he extended the other; he caught Evelyn with his outstretched hand.Luckily, he managed to catch Evelyn, although he had to bend over a bit and that made Luisa's legs touch the sidewalk. At least he didn't have to sacrifice one of them. He also breathed a sigh of relief.But it was too early to be truly relieved. Because, taking advantage of the situation where both of Scott's hands were holding Luisa and Evelyn, the blue-haired man attacked him, launching a straight kick to his chest.Scott didn't have time to dodge. It was also impossible for him to block the attack because both of his hands were unusable.The hard kick hit his chest. However, luckily, he managed to raise his inner strengt
