Chapter 101
“Amelia, I sincerely want to give this to you. Don’t feel pressured.”
“Amelia, me too!”
The two of them quickly answered.
“Listen to me, I invited you here not to accept your gifts. I only want to thank you for your care. At the same time, I want to tell you that I already have someone I like. So please, don’t send me gifts anymore. W e can just be normal friends, okay?” Amelia mustered up the courage and said.
This was the idea she came up with after thinking long and hard about it. After the matter surrounding the ranking, David, Leo, and Jacob gave her gifts worth more than ten million.
She got about 7 million from her allotment. So, she took the money home and bought a new house for her family. Then, she bought cars for her parents and gave them one million each.
She had 3 million left now. Her initial wish was to give her parents a better life, but she did not expect that it would come true so quickly. Now, she did not have much desire for money anymore and she did not want to be stuck between Leo and Jacob.
If you played with fire, you would eventually get burned. She was scared that they would come to their senses one day and seek revenge against her.
After all, she was just a girl from an ordinary family. If they really were to be rough with her, she would not be able to take it
So, she used her birthday as an opportunity to make things clear to them.
At the same time, she was also showing David that he was the person she liked.
“Amelia, you’re joking, right?” Leo asked, a little dazed.
“Amelia, don’t make such jokes. My weak heart won’t be able to take such a huge blow,” Jacob said.
It was clear that they could not accept this truth.
The people around them were stunned. Amelia rejected Jacob and Leo’s gifts that were worth hundreds o f thousands, and she even wanted to establish boundaries with them.
Was there something not right with Amelia’s head?
So many of the girls on campus were envious of her for having two protectors chasing her.
“I’m not joking. I’m serious. Can we just be normal friends?” Amelia asked softly.
Leo and Jacob looked at each other. They could see the unconvinced look in each other’s eyes.
Since Amelia said this in front of so many people, they were pretty sure she was not joking.
Now, they finally understood.
They were just fallback options and simps. They had been simping for Amelia for so long, but someone else was one step ahead of them. Jacob did not feel as bad. After all, he was always at the disadvantageous side in this fight with Leo, so h e did not spend too much money on her. On the contrary, Leo was different. He spent millions on her, and right now, that money was going to waste.
Leo was fuming and his facial features were even a little contorted now.
“Amelia, tell me, who is that man? I’ll kill him!” Leo said angrily.
“Leo, can you not do this, please? We can be good friends,” Amelia pleaded.
She was worried that Leo would entangle her and refuse to give up. Plus, she knew she was in the wrong. He spent so much money on her and now she wanted to dump him.
“Amelia, don’t you try to muddle your way through this. Let me tell you,
I’ve spent so much money on you and now you want to kick me away?
Don’t even think about it!”
“What should I do for you to leave me alone?” Amelia asked.
“Of course, I can leave you alone. I’ll leave you alone if you stay with me for a month!”
“No way!” Amelia answered without even thinking about it. “Well, there’s nothing to be said then. Let me tell you, Amelia Hahn, don’t even think about escaping from me in River City! I will own you! I, Leo Tate, have never failed to get any woman,” Leo said aggressively to Amelia, his facial features extremely twisted.
Since they were having a fallout now, Leo stopped pretending and immediately displayed his true self.
“Me too! Amelia, don’t blame us since you want to be so cruel! I’ve also spent a lot of money on you. If you want to get rid of me, you’ll have to stay with me for half a month too! If not, I’ll work with Old Chap here to make your life living hell in River City,” Jacob chimed in.
Chapter 102
Amelia stood helplessly glued to the spot. She knew that this matter would not be resolved so easily, but she did not think that Leo and Jacob would say something like that.
Everyone around them started to feel that something was not right. They were all Amelia’s friends so, of course, they were siding with Amelia.
“Leo, Jacob, what are you trying to do? Let me tell you, don’t try anything funny! If not, we’ll call the police!” One of Amelia’s roommates said.
“Yeah, don’t try to do anything funny. We’ll even report you to the university, and you’ll be expelled,” another one of them chimed in. “F*ck off, this has nothing to do with you. If not, I’ll f*ck up your lives as well!” Leo roared to the girls who were talking just now. That girl was shocked. She did not expect Leo to turn into a completely different person.
She did not dare to say anything anymore. Leo and Jacob were the kids of the local rich families in River City
Amelia started sobbing. She was a girl after all, so of course, she could not hold back her tears after being threatened like this.
“Amelia, it’s useless to cry. If you want to settle this, you have to stay with us for a month and a half. After that, we promise we will never annoy you anymore. If not, we’ll make your life super difficult in River City. Think about it,” Leo continued to threaten.
Amelia looked at David as she wept. Right now, David was the only person who could help her.
She understood who David was-the secret boss of the Golden Leaf Hotel was not someone ordinary.
At the very least, Jacob and Leo’s family background would not be able to compete with him.
David could not watch this anymore.
“Guys, isn’t it a little too much to threaten a girl like this?” David said faintly at one side.
These two guys made him recall his cousin Lily’s encounter in Lake City. If no one helped Amelia today, it was hard to say what would happen to her.
“David, this is none of your business. It’s best if you shut up! You can’t be the hero who saves the damsel i n distress,” Leo said to David.
“I may not be a hero, but I can’t watch this anymore.”
“So what? What can you do?” Leo asked sarcastically.
When David was about to speak, the door of the private room was pushed open slightly.
A head poked in and scanned the situation in the private room. When she saw David, she pushed the door open and walked in.
“Here you are, Dave!I saw your car outside so I knew you had to be here.
I finally found you after going to so many private rooms.” A delinquent with an afro, huge earrings, and thick makeup walked in and said.
Behind her were five to six people with the same dressing style. They looked like they were about 16 or 17 years old.
“Sandy, who is this? Why are you looking for him?” The people behind Sandy asked.
“This is my brother!” Sandy replied.
“Your brother? Why do I not know that you have a brother like this?” “You don’t know him, but he’s like a brother to me.” The two of them were still talking.
Leo could not stand this. He was still fuming when those delinquents showed up.
“Where did these stupid kids come from? Who said you could come in?
Get out now!” Leo yelled.
Sandy was confused and she used her pointer finger to point at her nose.
Then, she asked, “Are you talking about me?”
“Who else if not you? Get out now! If not, I’ll teach you a lesson on behalf of the adults of your family!”
“You don’t know who I am?” Sandy asked curiously:
“Who are you? Why should I know you? If I knew someone like you, I’d have beaten you up a long time ago. Look at you, you’re so young but what the hell is that outfit? You look like a thug. How did your parents educate you? Or perhaps you have parents, but they don’t have the time to educate you?” Leo asked sarcastically.
Sandy looked at David and asked, “Dave, is this your friend?” “No,” David gave a one-word reply.
“That’s easy then,” Sandy said.
Then, she asked Leo, “You’re pretty f*ck-… fantastic. What’s your name?”
Sandy wanted to say that Leo was pretty f*cking bad*ss, but since David was here, she changed her choice of words.
“What’s my name? You’re not worthy to know that. I haven’t asked you your name yet.”
“What’s my name? Come, one of you, tell him,” Sandy said.
Someone walked out from behind Sandy and pointed at her. Then, she said, “Her name is Sandy Luther, the second daughter of the Luther family in River City. Do you know the River City Luther family? Hmm… I think there’s only one Luther family in River City.” After that person finished talking, she went back to her original position and continued to look at Leo with ridicule.
“How dare he scold the second daughter of the Luther family? This is going to be good.’ “Sandy Luther?
‘The second daughter of the Luther family?’ Jacob could feel his brain buzzing.
He was the first one to come to his senses. Initially, he was siding with Leo, but now, he took a few steps back and stood with the rest of the crowd.
Leo wanted to die, but he did not.
What kind of presence was the River City Luther family?
They were the top wealthy family in River City.
Jacob’s family was nothing compared to the Luther family.
He heard that there was a second daughter of the River City Luther family and she was a fiend in human form. So, this delinquent in front of him must be her.
Right now, he was still feeling scared. Just now, he almost spoke up for Leo. If he did did that, then he would not even know how he died.
Just now, Leo was still a little confused.
Then, gradually, terror, fear, and dread appeared on his calm face.
The second daughter of the River City Luther family?
Wasn’t she the legendary fiend in human form in River City?
What did he just say?
He wanted to teach her a lesson on behalf of her family.
He even said she had parents, but they did not have the time to educate her.
Leo immediately felt his blood pressure increasing and began dizzy. “Why are you not talking now? Didn’t you want to teach me a lesson on behalf of my parents? You even said my parents don’t have the time to educate me, right?” Sandy asked.
Leo was so scared he knelt on the floor. As he kowtowed to her, he stammered, “M-M-Miss Luther, l-I’m sorry! I have failed to recognize you and l-I’ve offended you. P-Please don’t stoop down to my level and harbor grievances against me. Please s-spare me!”
“Weren’t you pretty high and mighty just now? Why can’t you speak clearly now?”
This scene confused the people in the room who did not know what was going on.
Just now, Leo was pretty imposing, so why was he kneeling on the ground in a blink of an eye?
Who was this little girl in front of them?
Why did her name scare Leo so much?
Also, did that little girl just call David her brother?
Chapter 103
Everyone present was shocked when they saw this strangely dressed delinquent.
Her name alone could scare Leo so much, so she had to be someone extraordinary.
“Dave, what’s his name?” Sandy asked David.
“His name is Leo Tate. I think his family is in River City. He’s pretty great and he’s truly a kid from a rich family!” David grinned and answered.
Leo offended Sandy so he did not need to do anything anymore. Leo’s life was finished.
“A kid from a rich family?”
Sandy asked curiously.
Then, she turned her head to ask her friends behind her, “Do you know anyone with Tate as their surname i in the circle?”
“No!”
“No!”
“I don’t!”
“Never heard of them.”
The other delinquents shook their heads and answered.
Sandy looked at Leo and said, “You’re not even in River City circle, so what kind of rich kid are you?”
Leo knelt on the ground and quickly replied, “You’re right! Miss Luther, you’re right. I’m not a kid from a rich family, I’m just a normal person. Please be the bigger person and spare me!”
“Spare you? Do you know that I’ve never been talked to like that in my whole life? And you even want to teach me a lesson on behalf of my parents? You even said my parents have no time to educate me and you asked me to f*ck off. My grandpa, parents, and even my brother never said such things to me,” Sandy said angrily.
“It’s my fault. I don’t think before I talk. I’m so sorry!” Leo started slapping himself as he said that.
He was truly scared now. If the Luther family started to target their family in River City, then his life would be over.
They could make his family go bankrupt at any second and everything he was proud of would be gone like smoke in the wind.
Meanwhile, Amelia stopped crying. She looked at this scene in surprise and then, she looked at Sandy and David.
She knew her crisis today was basically resolved. Leo offended someone important, and he could not even save himself anymore, so how would he have the time to pay attention to her? However, it was a pity that Jacob got away with this.
Jacob secretly wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead. That was too close. He almost got into trouble with Leo. Luckily, he reacted quickly enough.
Even though Leo was kneeling while slapping himself, he did not diminish Sandy’s anger at all.
“Girls, go and get him!”
Sandy went up to hit Leo with her friends. They began kicking and punching Leo the moment they got their hands on him.
Leo could only suffer through the blows. He did not even dare to dodge, let alone fight back.
However, Sandy and her friends were girls, and they were young, so they did not have much strength. So, they did not cause too much damage when they attacked Leo.
However, Leo was yelling as tragically as he could. He wanted to make
these girls feel sorry for him after they were done with him so that they would let him go.
After hitting him for a while, Sandy’s hands felt painful. However, she was still not satisfied, so she looked around her.
Then, she walked to the table in the middle of the room and grabbed a beer bottle before walking back. When she was about to smash the bottle on Leo’s head, David stopped her. “Stop! Sandy, what are you doing?” David yelled.
The bottle was filled with beer and the glass was thick. If she smashed this bottle on his head, Leo would be half dead.
If Sandy dared to do this at such a young age, what would she do in the future? She should just hit Leo a few times to vent, and that was it.
If she wanted to draw blood, then it would be too much.
Sandy was about to do that!
When she heard David yelling at her, Sandy had no choice but to stop. She turned around and said, to David, “Dave, he scolded me just now. I want to hit him!”
Chapter 104
“You want to smash a beer bottle on his head just because he scolded you? Do you know what will happen if you do that? Sometimes, you don’t have to use violence to solve a problem. Put the bottle down now.” “Oh.” Sandy placed the bottle down reluctantly.
“Also, don’t come to this kind of place during school hours. Look at you.
Do you even look like a student? 1 fl see you dressed like this next time, I’ll teach you a lesson on behalf of your brother.”
David felt uncomfortable looking at Sandy’s outfit. She was a student and yet she was always dressed like this. It was such a sore sight.
If his sister was like this, he would have taught her a lesson from early on.
He wondered how Charles could just leave her be.
After David said that, everyone at the scene looked at him in shock and amazement.
Leo was still kneeling on the ground after he said he wanted to teach Sandy on behalf of her parents.
And just now, David said he would teach Sandy a lesson on behalf of her brother.
Even Sandy’s friends were looking at David with contempt.
Why did so many people want to teach Sandy a lesson today?
They were waiting for Sandy to blow a gasket.
However, Sandy only lowered her head and said in an aggrieved tone,
“Oh, I got it, Dave.”
At this moment, all of their expressions turned from ridicule to shock. When did Sandy, the fiend in the human form of the Luther family, become such a good girl?
Sandy never even obeyed anyone in her family.
Even though Sandy sounded a little aggrieved right now, she was feeling happy inside.
Ever since David appeared next to her and used his fingers to stop Zachary’s sword that was about to stab into her heart, David’s place in her heart had upgraded immensely. David even surpassed her brother Charles’ position in her heart now.
A figure that suddenly appeared when you were feeling hopeless would usually be the one that you would remember the easiest. Moreover, as a member of SCC, she naturally knew the weight of the eight great fighters in T Faction, and recognized that even her brother Charles was not their opponent. Since David could defeat Zachary, then he was truly a powerful person.
She, Sandy Luther, worshiped powerful people.
This was a powerful person who saved her life before. So, she felt happy when David said that to her because it meant that David cared about her.
Then, Sandy asked, “Um, Dave, can I come during the holidays?” “Yes, you can, but you have to get rid of your afro, gigantic earrings, and also the heavy makeup on your face. You’re a student, so you have to look like one.”
“Alright then! Right, Dave, when are you free? My grandpa says he wants to meet you and thank you.”
David thought about it and said, “Maybe not this week, but I’ll call your brother when I have time.”
He still had to show respect to the Luther family, but he could only wait until the next week.
“Alright, Dave, we’ll get going now!” Sandy gathered her friends and got ready to leave…
However, before she left, she said to Leo, “Leo Tate, right? I remember you now. I hope you can still be a kid from a rich family tomorrow.” After Leo heard that, he collapsed on the ground in fear.
Oh no, everything was gone now. Once he successfully angered the
Luther family, how would his family continue to stay in River City?
He did not dare to imagine what kind of life would be waiting for him once his family went bankrupt.
Chapter 105
Sandy left with her friends.
Now, only the people who had dinner together earlier were the ones left in the room.
Leo sat limply on the ground with lifeless eyes.
Jacob was secretly feeling lucky,
Meanwhile, Amelia was looking at David with a sparkle in her eyes.
Not only Amelia, the other girls in the room also had the same gaze.
They did not expect David to be a big shot.
He was so secretive about this!
David felt awkward as those people were looking at him with hungry eyes.
“Um, Amelia, I have to go now. You should continue to have fun,” David said.
When Amelia heard that David was leaving, she would not allow it. She walked over to hug David’s arm and said, “David, you’re not allowed to leave. Today is my birthday and you haven’t given me a present.” Amelia was holding David’s arm and he felt awkward. He could feel
Amelia’s softness and he wanted to get away from her grip. However, Amelia was holding him very tightly and was not giving him a chance to escape.
“Um, Amelia, can I give you the present on another day? I really didn’t know that today was your birthday.”
“No, you have to give it today,” Amelia said as she held David’s arm tightly.
She even purposely brushed David’s arm against her ample bosom while she was holding it, causing David’s face to turn red.
Even though he had been dating Sarah for a few years, he was still a virgin. So how would he be able to endure the teasing of a girl like Amelia?
A few brave girls came over to David and started pulling him. They all wanted to worm their way into a relationship with David.
In the end, David had no choice but to agree not to leave for the time being.
Since Leo was still in the room, they switched to another room and continued to have fun.
Jacob and the other guys did not dare to go. Jacob was a little fearful when he looked at David and he only wanted to leave as fast as he could in case he ended up like Leo.
Their party only ended when it was about midnight.
When Amelia was going to pay, she was told that all of David’s expenses in Fuller Golden Sands would be waived. Everyone was exclaiming in admiration again.
David was too mysterious. How did they never realize that he was such a big shot?
“David, where do you live?” Amelia asked when they walked to the entrance to the Fuller Golden Sands.
“I live in the suburbs,” David answered.
“David, didn’t you drive here? Can you drive us?” One of the girls said.
“Yeah, yeah! Drive us back to campus. It’s so late and it’s so dangerous for us to call a car back home,” another girl chimed in. “Um, my car can’t fit so many people,” David answered.
There were more than ten girls left and, indeed, they could not all fit into David’s car. Only one of them could get in.
“We can squeeze, or you can take two trips. If not, how are we going back so late?”
“Yeah!”
When they walked to David’s Bugatti Veyron, David patted the car and said, “This is my car! If I were to drive all of you, I’ll have to take ten trips.”
When the girls saw the flashy Bugatti Veyron, they were in a daze. It was so pretty… Indeed, women could not resist super luxurious cars like this.
“Wow, David, is this your car? It’s so pretty!”
“This is such an amazing car! Leo and Jacob’s cars are so cheap. What car is this? Go look it up.”
Chapter 106
An international limited-edition sports car like a Bugatti Veyron does induce quite the shock, after all. Everyone pulled out their phones and started searching it up.
“Wow! That’s a limited-edition Bugatti Veyron! Its official price is six… sixty million?!” A girl stuttered as she read out the price.
Sixty million was an astronomical value to these students.
Even sons of wealthy families like Jacob and Leo could only dream of owning a sports car that cost sixty million.
“Sorry! I don’t think I can fetch you guys today, please hitch a ride home yourselves! I can pay for your taxi bills, goodbye!”
With that David unlocked the car and got in, about to leave. He had long passed his limit today, being surrounded by beauties since the beginning of the night.
Any ordinary man would feel frustrated if he was subjected to the teasing touches of these women all night.
He had just got into the car when the passenger seat opened, and Amelia got in.
Now was not the time for politeness. If she wanted David to be hers, she would have to take every opportunity to spend time with him. The ladies outside were infuriated that they did not think of sitting in the passenger seat too when they saw Amelia do so.
It was a great chance, after all. Not only could they sit in a nice car, but they would also have the chancet o spend time with David alone. David was shocked and he told her, “Amelia, I’m not going back to the school.”
“You can bring me anywhere you want, David! I’m going wherever you are going tonight,” Amelia replied.
‘Anywhere I want?’
David’s mind started to wander.
David looked at Amelia only to find her looking at him with a slight flush on her cheeks. In all honesty, it would be a lie if David claimed that he felt nothing for a goddess-like beauty such as Amelia.
As one of the three campus belles of SRU, not only did Amelia have exquisite features and a delicate body, but she was also passionate. Almost no man could remain unfazed when she took the initiative to flirt. However, David had his morals. He was different from animals like Leo who only thought with their lower halves.
Otherwise, there was no way he would respect Sarah’s wishes and stay abstinent during the four years they were together.
“I don’t think this is a good idea, Amelia.”
“What’s not good about this? I was already yours when you became my Top Fan last time. I wouldn’t be able to escape if Leo managed to become Top Fan, so thank you.”
Amelia’s words were too straightforward, and David found himself not knowing how to reply.
“Uh, Amelia, I think that if two people were to… do it, it should be on the basis that they are in love. Or what difference would they be from animals, right?”
“Aren’t human beings a kind of animal? You men are all animals who think with their lower half anyway!”
“Here’s where I have to disagree, Amelia! I am not like other men, okay?” David said strictly.
Amelia looked at David with a vague smile and asked, “Not like other men? Or are you just… lacking?” ‘What the f*ck!
‘No way I’m letting her get away with that!
“Amelia Hahn! That is an insult to my character! Take back what you just said and I’ll pretend nothing happened today. Or I’ll make you regret it tonight!” Even David’s tone had changed. Amelia’s insinuation was just too insulting.
“Am I wrong, David? I’m offering myself for you to clarify that misunderstanding,” Amelia insisted.
Her goal tonight was to prove herself to David anyway, so there was no reason for her to back down now.
“Mark your words. Don’t you regret it!”
Then David ignited the engine and stepped on the accelerator, disappearing before the crowd.
A sports car worth sixty million was exceptionally soundproof, and so no one outside heard a single word of their conversation.
Chapter 107
David drove his Bugatti Veyron and arrived at South River International Residence with Amelia in tow.
Stopping his car at the main entrance, he turned to Amelia and said, “It’s still not too late to regret it. I can send you back to school.” “A-As if!” Amelia summoned the courage to say.
She did not regret coming, but that did not mean she was not nervous.
After all, this was an important moment in a woman’s life. She had always been a good and self-respecting lady. While she had used a few tricks and ingenuity before to change her family’s living conditions, she still practiced self-respect when it came to her own body.
She also had this constant dream of finding her prince charming and giving her first time to him.
In her heart, David was her prince charming.
The first time she heard about David was when he broke up with Sarah and vomited blood in anger. Leo had found out and uploaded it on all the group chats and social media platforms within SRU.
Then to take revenge on Leo, David became her Top Fan and she met him in Golden Leaf Hotel.
It was then that she found out David came from an exceptionally wealthy family and was of a much higher class than people like Leo. However, what truly attracted her to David was not his extremely wealthy family background. She might love money, but only because it could improve her family’s living standards. She was not a gold digger.
It was the fact that David could spend four years as Sarah’s boyfriend and still remain sexually abstinent. I t was the fact that when David loved, he never forgot. This was evident in his self-written song, Boy, while the man had a calm aura around him regardless of the situation at hand. Being around the sons of wealthy families, Amelia had her own conclusions on men.
Men like Leo were only after her because she was “fresh”, and making one of the Three Campus Belles of
SRU his girlfriend would fill him with gratification as well as him make him the envy of others.
It was possible that once the initial excitement of the relationship wears out, Leo might feel the desire to go after Ava or Luna next. Men like Leo could never be satisfied.
However, David was different. The moment your relationship with him was physical, he would take full responsibility until the end.
There would only be more girls wanting to be with David now that his family background and talent were slowly made public. She had to make a move as soon as possible.
This explained her actions tonight.
David did not say anything more as he drove his car inside the residential area.
He was nervous as well, and his palm on the steering wheel started to sweat.
He parked the car and they walked up together.
No one said anything as they walked. They were both too nervous.
Ava did not even have the mood to admire the luxuriousness of the house when she entered. 4
She would have been too shocked to say anything anyway.
Not that she said anything now, since she was so nervous.
Amelia sat on the couch blankly while David stood beside her, not knowing what to say.
“Uh, Amelia, do you want to go take a shower first?” David asked carefully.
“Huh? Oh! Yeah, sure.”
Amelia stood up nervously and prepared to take a shower, but this was her first time in David’s house and she did not know where the bathroom was. Too embarrassed to ask, she could only stand in place. “Oh! Uh, the bathroom is over there!” David pointed in the direction of the bathroom.
Blushing, Amelia rushed over and opened the bathroom door, then she locked it from the inside.
David sat on the sofa, still nervous, as Amelia went to take a shower.
To calm himself down, he pulled out his phone to play with it.
Just as he turned it on, he realized that he had seven to eight missed calls.
David immediately tapped into it to check and found that Lily had been trying to call him since eight pm. H e did not know when he had silenced his phone, and so he did not realize someone was trying to call him i na place as rowdy as Fuller Golden Sands Entertainment Center. David’s chest tightened. He was worried that she was in danger again, so he immediately called back.
Lily picked up the phone very quickly.
“Dave!” David felt his chest lighten when he heard Lily’s voice.
Chapter 108
“Why did you call me so many times, Lily? Did something happen? My phone was on silent and I didn’t realize you called,” David explained.
“Dave, my… my mom got beaten up!”
‘What?
‘Aunt Sally got beaten up?’
If David had to list down the people, he cared about in the world from most to least, then his aunts Sally Lowe and Diana Lidell would both take first place. That is, excluding his deceased parents.
Ever since his parents passed due to that incident, the only place where he felt any warmth was with his Aunt Sally and Diana. Hence, David was immediately enraged when he found out that Aunt Sally got beaten up.
According to his understanding of Aunt Sally, she was not the type of person to provoke someone out of the blue.
“Who beat her up? Is she badly hurt?” David quickly asked. “Your cousin brother Quinn beat her up! She’s not hurt too badly, the doctor said she’ll be fine after a few days of rest,” Lily replied. “How could Quinn beat Aunt Sally up? Don’t tell me she went to collect that debt for me again!”
“Tsk! Just, it’s too hard to explain over the phone, Dave! Just come over and look for yourself! My brother’s about to go take revenge tomorrow!” David was fuming with anger.
Lily might not have told him anything through the phone, but he already had an idea of what had happened.
Aunt Sally must have gone to help him collect compensation for his parent’s incident. His aunt must have refused, causing both parties to argue, and Quinn must have beaten Aunt Sally up on behalf of his mother. ‘That brat. I’m going to make you pay for that. ‘Is it not bad enough that you’re not paying money you owe? How can you beat someone up as well?
‘What kind of people does this family consist of?’
Originally, he did not plan to collect that money. Not when he already had more than enough to spend.
However, now there was no way he would let them get away with not paying. He would rather give the money to beggars on the street than let them keep it.
“Lily, didn’t I give you money? I also told you to tell your mom about it, didn’t I? Why is she still so adamant about collecting compensation?” “Dave, how am I supposed to tell her when you keep it a secret?” Lily asked indignantly.
“I was afraid Aunt Sally would worry that I got the money from illegal trading!”
“I am a woman, how am I supposed to explain suddenly having so much money? What if my mom thinks that I found myself a sugar daddy instead of focusing on my studies?” David was rendered speechless.
“Fine, I’m going over right now! I’ll get there before sunrise, so keep an eye on Jacey, don’t let him run off.”
Jacey was a rambunctious man. There was no telling what would happen if he managed to find Quinn.
“Alright! Come quick!”
David ended the call with Lily and immediately called Wayne and the others so that they could come and fetch him.
A Bugatti Veyron was a bad choice to drive in the small county because of its low chassis. Thus, he could only take the G-Wagon back. After ending the call, David glanced in the direction of the bathroom where Amelia was taking a shower. Without informing her, he went downstairs.
On the way to the county, David sent Amelia a text to explain that something had happened at home and h e had to leave. He also told her that she was free to spend the night in his house.
After sending that message, David pondered a bit before adding a sentence.
“Something really did happen, Amelia! I swear I’m not running away!” It would be a huge insult to his character if Amelia ended up misunderstanding and assuming that he was lacking in that department. ‘But will she believe me?
‘Probably not. Damn it!
‘Honestly, I might not believe it either if I were her.
‘That’s it. My great reputation is tarnished.
‘But now isn’t the time to worry about that.’ David decided that he would deal with the matter of his reputation after he solved the issue at hand.
Chapter 109
David did not have to wait too long at the entrance of South River International Residence before Wayne and Gavin arrived in the G-Wagon.
David gave Wayne a location once he got into the car and Wayne immediately set the GPS.
David’s hometown was in South River Province as well, it was just that it was a rural county five to six hundred kilometers away.
He should be able to arrive in the morning if he set off now.
Amelia took more than half an hour in the bathroom before she walked out with a sway to her hips. She knew she was about to experience an important moment in her life.
Amelia wrapped a towel around herself when she walked out, her hair still wet, which accentuated her figure. She looked very appealing, and the sight could easily make youthful men nosebleed.
It was a shame that David had already left and could not take in such a pleasing sight.
Amelia did not see David when she walked out. Thinking that David had gone upstairs, she sat on the sofa to wait for him.
David still had not appeared after a while, and out of boredom, she took her phone out. Only then did she see the two messages David sent her.
Amelia was stunned the moment she read David’s messages. Then she left out a soft snort.
‘David ran away?
‘Something happened at home?
‘As if I’d believe that!
‘Isn’t it too late for something to happen right now?
Just as she thought, David was not an easy man.
Not that she was an easy woman either. After all, she was still a virgin.
She was just trying to pursue her own happiness now that she met someone she liked.
Amelia relaxed now that David had left, and started to walk around aimlessly, admiring the house she was in.
She had been too nervous to look around when she first arrived, but now that she had calmed down, she took in the design of the house. She had never seen a house so extravagant, not even on the internet. Amelia stood before the huge floor-to-ceiling windows and admired the night view of the River Leeds. It felt unreal.
Amelia admired the view a little longer and took a few pictures with her phone before she went upstairs t o the 28th floor.
‘There’s a private pool?’
The ceiling above the pool was made with glass, meaning that you could see the twinkling stars in the night sky just by looking up.
She wondered how it would feel to lie in the pool and look up at the stars.
Hence, she went and did it.
Amelia grabbed an air mattress by the pool and placed it on the water, then she laid on top of it. The mattress slowly floated into the middle of the pool, and she laid atop it staring at the stars above.
It would be perfect if David was here hugging her; Perhaps they could share a bottle of red wine as well.
Amelia looked down at the towel she wrapped around herself and took it off.
‘How could David have the heart to leave in face of such an alluring body?’ She wondered to herself,’ What a boring man.’
At the same time, David was currently rushing to Aunt Sally’s house.
Aunt Sally’s injury was a big deal. Even though it wasn’t serious, David still felt guilty, especially since she was injured when collecting money for him.
It was already six in the morning by the time David arrived in Shu City. He took a small nap in the early morning, while Wayne and Gavin took turns driving.
David took the steering wheel once they arrived at Shu City since Wayne and Gavin were not familiar with the roads and they would arrive much quicker if David drove.
After arriving at the lobby of Aunt Sally’s residence, David had Wayne and Gavin wait in the car while he went up himself.
Lily was the one who opened the door; David had already informed her of his arrival when he arrived in Shu City “Come in, Dave!”
“How is it? Where’s Aunt Sally? Where’s Jacey?” David asked. “Inside. My dad’s keeping watch over Jace, making sure that he doesn’t go and look for Quin.”
David immediately saw Uncle Yousef sitting on the sofa watching television once he entered the house.
“Uncle Yousef!” David greeted with a shout.
“You’re here, Dave! Go check on your Aunt Sally! Seriously, she’s not young anymore, why did she even go and argue with other people? See?
Now she’s bedridden!” Yousef said..
Uncle Yousef was a clerk, so he was very reliable and could remain calm even when trouble occurred.
He might not have been the best to David, but he had never treated David badly during the two years he spend here.
‘Bedridden?
“I thought Lily said she would recover after a few days of rest!
Just how severe was she injured to become bedridden?’
David immediately rushed to Aunt Sally’s room, only to find her lying on the bed, asleep.
Not wanting to disrupt her sleep, David closed the door softly and left.
He went back to the living room to sit with Uncle Yousef and Lily.
“What happened, Uncle Yousef?” David asked.
Yousef then told David what happened.
It was not too far from what David had guessed.
David was owed around two million worth of compensation for his parent’s incident.
David had not even turned ten years old yet at the time of their passing, so the money was given to his new guardians for safe keeping.
In the end, David decided to follow his uncle Bobby. However, there was an issue with the compensation money and his uncle Bobby stressed that he would only hand the money back to David when David turned eighteen.
However, neither David’s Aunt Sally nor Aunt Diana believed Uncle
Bobby, so they wrote up an agreement and gave the agreement to Aunt
Sally.
David’s life with Bobby took a sharp downturn after the latter received the compensation, and David’s life only got better once he moved to live with his Aunt Sally in high
David was already twenty-one now, he was about to graduate university, yet Bobby showed no signs of returning the money to him.
Thus, when Aunt Sally took the agreement and went to look for David’s uncle, Bobby, she told Bobby that she would file a suit against him if he did not pay David back.
In the end, David’s Aunt Sally ended up getting into an argument with his Aunt Karen, and when Quin returned home and saw what happened, he decided to help his mom and pushed Sally twice. Then, Sally fell and hurt her back.
Sally’s back was already fragile, and she twisted it after Quin pushed her down. It was going to take around half a month before she could fully recover.
“Where’s Jacey?” David asked again.
“He kept saying how he was going to go look for Quin to take revenge for his mom when he woke up this morning, but I stopped him from leaving. So he locked himself angrily in his room,” Yousef replied.
“I’ll deal with this, Uncle Yousef. Don’t worry, I’ll get justice for Aunt Sally.”
“Do not resort to violence, Dave. If they’re not willing to listen to reason, then we’ll protect ourselves with the law. Do not act rashlv, understood?”
“I understand, Uncle Yousef. I’ll go check on Jace.” David then walked over to Jacey’s bedroom.
This used to be his bedroom too. Aunt Sally lived in a three-bedroom apartment, so he spent the two years in this house rooming with Jacey. They were pretty close.
Chapter 110
David arrived at Jacey’s bedroom and tried to push open the door. It was to no avail, though, because Jacey had locked it from the inside.
“Knock knock.”
David knocked on the door and said, “It’s me, Jace, open the door.” After a while, the sound of the door unlocking could be heard, but the door remained closed.
David pushed open the door and entered, only to see Jacey fuming on the bed.
Jacey was only sixteen this year, studying his first year of high school at Shu City. His father Yousef had pulled many connections to enroll Jacey into a good high school.
Jacey was currently at a rebellious age, so he wanted to take revenge when his mom got beaten up.
It was only natural that he would feel angry when his dad made him stay at home.
“What happened, Jace? Tell me,” David said as he walked over to pat Jacey’s shoulder.
“Dave! Quin hit my mom! I’m going to f*cking kill him, but my dad won’t let me go! Just because my dad’s a coward doesn’t mean I am too!” Jacey said angrily.
David smacked the back of Jacey’s head and reprimanded, “Excuse me? Who talks about their dad like that, huh?” “I’m not wrong!” Jacey refuted.
“Your dad’s not being a coward, he’s being logical. What if something happened to him? What will happen to you and your sister? Your mom’s back is weak, she can’t do anything too straining. Your dad’s the one holding your whole family up, he already has enough on his hands. How can you call him a coward?”
“If he can’t afford to go, then at least let me! But he won’t let me go out.”
“Stop saying that you’re going to kill people here and there. Your mom’s going to be heartbroken if something happens to you. This happened because of me, so let me resolve this, okay? I promise I’ll get justice.” “Really?” Jacey asked.
“Of course! Just you wait! Once Aunt Sally’s back recovers, we’ll go and take revenge for Aunt Sally!’
“Alright! You said it, Dave!”
David brought Jacey out and they sat in the living room, waiting for Lily to bring breakfast over.
In the living room, David told Uncle Yousef he wanted to bring Aunt Sally to River City for treatment.
Yousef gave it some thought and agreed, then he called his superior and asked for a leave.
He wanted to bring Sally to the large hospitals in River City a long time ago, but Sally always refused.
In truth, Sally just wanted to keep the expenses low. After all, Yousef was the only one working in this household and their current expenses were already pretty high.
Sally woke up not too long after.
David quickly rushed over. “Aunt Sally! How are you feeling?” “Dave? Why are you here?” Sally asked.
“Aunt Sally, how can I not come back when something this big happened?” David replied.
“It’s not a big deal. My back’s always been bad. I’ll be fine after a few days.”
“Aunt Sally, why did you have to go and ask Bobby for the compensation?
Don’t you know what kind of person he is?”
“But your parents left that money for you. You’re about to graduate from university, and you’ll need that money to plan your wedding. I have to get it back for you! Plus, we have the agreement he signed. Worse comes to worst, we can just file a suit against him!” Sally replied. “Alright. We can talk about this later, what’s most important now is to get treatment for your back. I already called a good hospital in River City, and we can leave in a bit.”
“River City? I’m not going! I’m fine! I’ll be good as new in a few days, so there’s no point in going at all. I’ve dealt with this back for years,” Sally rejected.
What Sally was worried about was how much the treatment in River City would cost.
Her family was not wealthy, as Yousef was the only working adult and the sole breadwinner
Her children were currently studying in university and high school, while even David’s school fees were raised with the help of David’s aunt Diana.
There were little to no savings at home, and using the limited funds on her treatment would only make the financial situation at home more precarious.
List
Chapter 101
“Amelia, I sincerely want to give this to you. Don’t feel pressured.”
“Amelia, me too!”
The two of them quickly answered.
“Listen to me, I invited you here not to accept your gifts. I only want to thank you for your care. At the same time, I want to tell you that I already have someone I like. So please, don’t send me gifts anymore. W e can just be normal friends, okay?” Amelia mustered up the courage and said.
This was the idea she came up with after thinking long and hard about it. After the matter surrounding the ranking, David, Leo, and Jacob gave her gifts worth more than ten million.
She got about 7 million from her allotment. So, she took the money home and bought a new house for her family. Then, she bought cars for her parents and gave them one million each.
She had 3 million left now. Her initial wish was to give her parents a better life, but she did not expect that it would come true so quickly. Now, she did not have much desire for money anymore and she did not want to be stuck between Leo and Jacob.
If you played with fire, you would eventually get burned. She was scared that they would come to their senses one day and seek revenge against her.
After all, she was just a girl from an ordinary family. If they really were to be rough with her, she would not be able to take it
So, she used her birthday as an opportunity to make things clear to them.
At the same time, she was also showing David that he was the person she liked.
“Amelia, you’re joking, right?” Leo asked, a little dazed.
“Amelia, don’t make such jokes. My weak heart won’t be able to take such a huge blow,” Jacob said.
It was clear that they could not accept this truth.
The people around them were stunned. Amelia rejected Jacob and Leo’s gifts that were worth hundreds o f thousands, and she even wanted to establish boundaries with them.
Was there something not right with Amelia’s head?
So many of the girls on campus were envious of her for having two protectors chasing her.
“I’m not joking. I’m serious. Can we just be normal friends?” Amelia asked softly.
Leo and Jacob looked at each other. They could see the unconvinced look in each other’s eyes.
Since Amelia said this in front of so many people, they were pretty sure she was not joking.
Now, they finally understood.
They were just fallback options and simps. They had been simping for Amelia for so long, but someone else was one step ahead of them. Jacob did not feel as bad. After all, he was always at the disadvantageous side in this fight with Leo, so h e did not spend too much money on her. On the contrary, Leo was different. He spent millions on her, and right now, that money was going to waste.
Leo was fuming and his facial features were even a little contorted now.
“Amelia, tell me, who is that man? I’ll kill him!” Leo said angrily.
“Leo, can you not do this, please? We can be good friends,” Amelia pleaded.
She was worried that Leo would entangle her and refuse to give up. Plus, she knew she was in the wrong. He spent so much money on her and now she wanted to dump him.
“Amelia, don’t you try to muddle your way through this. Let me tell you,
I’ve spent so much money on you and now you want to kick me away?
Don’t even think about it!”
“What should I do for you to leave me alone?” Amelia asked.
“Of course, I can leave you alone. I’ll leave you alone if you stay with me for a month!”
“No way!” Amelia answered without even thinking about it. “Well, there’s nothing to be said then. Let me tell you, Amelia Hahn, don’t even think about escaping from me in River City! I will own you! I, Leo Tate, have never failed to get any woman,” Leo said aggressively to Amelia, his facial features extremely twisted.
Since they were having a fallout now, Leo stopped pretending and immediately displayed his true self.
“Me too! Amelia, don’t blame us since you want to be so cruel! I’ve also spent a lot of money on you. If you want to get rid of me, you’ll have to stay with me for half a month too! If not, I’ll work with Old Chap here to make your life living hell in River City,” Jacob chimed in.
Chapter 102
Amelia stood helplessly glued to the spot. She knew that this matter would not be resolved so easily, but she did not think that Leo and Jacob would say something like that.
Everyone around them started to feel that something was not right. They were all Amelia’s friends so, of course, they were siding with Amelia.
“Leo, Jacob, what are you trying to do? Let me tell you, don’t try anything funny! If not, we’ll call the police!” One of Amelia’s roommates said.
“Yeah, don’t try to do anything funny. We’ll even report you to the university, and you’ll be expelled,” another one of them chimed in. “F*ck off, this has nothing to do with you. If not, I’ll f*ck up your lives as well!” Leo roared to the girls who were talking just now. That girl was shocked. She did not expect Leo to turn into a completely different person.
She did not dare to say anything anymore. Leo and Jacob were the kids of the local rich families in River City
Amelia started sobbing. She was a girl after all, so of course, she could not hold back her tears after being threatened like this.
“Amelia, it’s useless to cry. If you want to settle this, you have to stay with us for a month and a half. After that, we promise we will never annoy you anymore. If not, we’ll make your life super difficult in River City. Think about it,” Leo continued to threaten.
Amelia looked at David as she wept. Right now, David was the only person who could help her.
She understood who David was-the secret boss of the Golden Leaf Hotel was not someone ordinary.
At the very least, Jacob and Leo’s family background would not be able to compete with him.
David could not watch this anymore.
“Guys, isn’t it a little too much to threaten a girl like this?” David said faintly at one side.
These two guys made him recall his cousin Lily’s encounter in Lake City. If no one helped Amelia today, it was hard to say what would happen to her.
“David, this is none of your business. It’s best if you shut up! You can’t be the hero who saves the damsel i n distress,” Leo said to David.
“I may not be a hero, but I can’t watch this anymore.”
“So what? What can you do?” Leo asked sarcastically.
When David was about to speak, the door of the private room was pushed open slightly.
A head poked in and scanned the situation in the private room. When she saw David, she pushed the door open and walked in.
“Here you are, Dave!I saw your car outside so I knew you had to be here.
I finally found you after going to so many private rooms.” A delinquent with an afro, huge earrings, and thick makeup walked in and said.
Behind her were five to six people with the same dressing style. They looked like they were about 16 or 17 years old.
“Sandy, who is this? Why are you looking for him?” The people behind Sandy asked.
“This is my brother!” Sandy replied.
“Your brother? Why do I not know that you have a brother like this?” “You don’t know him, but he’s like a brother to me.” The two of them were still talking.
Leo could not stand this. He was still fuming when those delinquents showed up.
“Where did these stupid kids come from? Who said you could come in?
Get out now!” Leo yelled.
Sandy was confused and she used her pointer finger to point at her nose.
Then, she asked, “Are you talking about me?”
“Who else if not you? Get out now! If not, I’ll teach you a lesson on behalf of the adults of your family!”
“You don’t know who I am?” Sandy asked curiously:
“Who are you? Why should I know you? If I knew someone like you, I’d have beaten you up a long time ago. Look at you, you’re so young but what the hell is that outfit? You look like a thug. How did your parents educate you? Or perhaps you have parents, but they don’t have the time to educate you?” Leo asked sarcastically.
Sandy looked at David and asked, “Dave, is this your friend?” “No,” David gave a one-word reply.
“That’s easy then,” Sandy said.
Then, she asked Leo, “You’re pretty f*ck-… fantastic. What’s your name?”
Sandy wanted to say that Leo was pretty f*cking bad*ss, but since David was here, she changed her choice of words.
“What’s my name? You’re not worthy to know that. I haven’t asked you your name yet.”
“What’s my name? Come, one of you, tell him,” Sandy said.
Someone walked out from behind Sandy and pointed at her. Then, she said, “Her name is Sandy Luther, the second daughter of the Luther family in River City. Do you know the River City Luther family? Hmm… I think there’s only one Luther family in River City.” After that person finished talking, she went back to her original position and continued to look at Leo with ridicule.
“How dare he scold the second daughter of the Luther family? This is going to be good.’ “Sandy Luther?
‘The second daughter of the Luther family?’ Jacob could feel his brain buzzing.
He was the first one to come to his senses. Initially, he was siding with Leo, but now, he took a few steps back and stood with the rest of the crowd.
Leo wanted to die, but he did not.
What kind of presence was the River City Luther family?
They were the top wealthy family in River City.
Jacob’s family was nothing compared to the Luther family.
He heard that there was a second daughter of the River City Luther family and she was a fiend in human form. So, this delinquent in front of him must be her.
Right now, he was still feeling scared. Just now, he almost spoke up for Leo. If he did did that, then he would not even know how he died.
Just now, Leo was still a little confused.
Then, gradually, terror, fear, and dread appeared on his calm face.
The second daughter of the River City Luther family?
Wasn’t she the legendary fiend in human form in River City?
What did he just say?
He wanted to teach her a lesson on behalf of her family.
He even said she had parents, but they did not have the time to educate her.
Leo immediately felt his blood pressure increasing and began dizzy. “Why are you not talking now? Didn’t you want to teach me a lesson on behalf of my parents? You even said my parents don’t have the time to educate me, right?” Sandy asked.
Leo was so scared he knelt on the floor. As he kowtowed to her, he stammered, “M-M-Miss Luther, l-I’m sorry! I have failed to recognize you and l-I’ve offended you. P-Please don’t stoop down to my level and harbor grievances against me. Please s-spare me!”
“Weren’t you pretty high and mighty just now? Why can’t you speak clearly now?”
This scene confused the people in the room who did not know what was going on.
Just now, Leo was pretty imposing, so why was he kneeling on the ground in a blink of an eye?
Who was this little girl in front of them?
Why did her name scare Leo so much?
Also, did that little girl just call David her brother?
Chapter 103
Everyone present was shocked when they saw this strangely dressed delinquent.
Her name alone could scare Leo so much, so she had to be someone extraordinary.
“Dave, what’s his name?” Sandy asked David.
“His name is Leo Tate. I think his family is in River City. He’s pretty great and he’s truly a kid from a rich family!” David grinned and answered.
Leo offended Sandy so he did not need to do anything anymore. Leo’s life was finished.
“A kid from a rich family?”
Sandy asked curiously.
Then, she turned her head to ask her friends behind her, “Do you know anyone with Tate as their surname i in the circle?”
“No!”
“No!”
“I don’t!”
“Never heard of them.”
The other delinquents shook their heads and answered.
Sandy looked at Leo and said, “You’re not even in River City circle, so what kind of rich kid are you?”
Leo knelt on the ground and quickly replied, “You’re right! Miss Luther, you’re right. I’m not a kid from a rich family, I’m just a normal person. Please be the bigger person and spare me!”
“Spare you? Do you know that I’ve never been talked to like that in my whole life? And you even want to teach me a lesson on behalf of my parents? You even said my parents have no time to educate me and you asked me to f*ck off. My grandpa, parents, and even my brother never said such things to me,” Sandy said angrily.
“It’s my fault. I don’t think before I talk. I’m so sorry!” Leo started slapping himself as he said that.
He was truly scared now. If the Luther family started to target their family in River City, then his life would be over.
They could make his family go bankrupt at any second and everything he was proud of would be gone like smoke in the wind.
Meanwhile, Amelia stopped crying. She looked at this scene in surprise and then, she looked at Sandy and David.
She knew her crisis today was basically resolved. Leo offended someone important, and he could not even save himself anymore, so how would he have the time to pay attention to her? However, it was a pity that Jacob got away with this.
Jacob secretly wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead. That was too close. He almost got into trouble with Leo. Luckily, he reacted quickly enough.
Even though Leo was kneeling while slapping himself, he did not diminish Sandy’s anger at all.
“Girls, go and get him!”
Sandy went up to hit Leo with her friends. They began kicking and punching Leo the moment they got their hands on him.
Leo could only suffer through the blows. He did not even dare to dodge, let alone fight back.
However, Sandy and her friends were girls, and they were young, so they did not have much strength. So, they did not cause too much damage when they attacked Leo.
However, Leo was yelling as tragically as he could. He wanted to make
these girls feel sorry for him after they were done with him so that they would let him go.
After hitting him for a while, Sandy’s hands felt painful. However, she was still not satisfied, so she looked around her.
Then, she walked to the table in the middle of the room and grabbed a beer bottle before walking back. When she was about to smash the bottle on Leo’s head, David stopped her. “Stop! Sandy, what are you doing?” David yelled.
The bottle was filled with beer and the glass was thick. If she smashed this bottle on his head, Leo would be half dead.
If Sandy dared to do this at such a young age, what would she do in the future? She should just hit Leo a few times to vent, and that was it.
If she wanted to draw blood, then it would be too much.
Sandy was about to do that!
When she heard David yelling at her, Sandy had no choice but to stop. She turned around and said, to David, “Dave, he scolded me just now. I want to hit him!”
Chapter 104
“You want to smash a beer bottle on his head just because he scolded you? Do you know what will happen if you do that? Sometimes, you don’t have to use violence to solve a problem. Put the bottle down now.” “Oh.” Sandy placed the bottle down reluctantly.
“Also, don’t come to this kind of place during school hours. Look at you.
Do you even look like a student? 1 fl see you dressed like this next time, I’ll teach you a lesson on behalf of your brother.”
David felt uncomfortable looking at Sandy’s outfit. She was a student and yet she was always dressed like this. It was such a sore sight.
If his sister was like this, he would have taught her a lesson from early on.
He wondered how Charles could just leave her be.
After David said that, everyone at the scene looked at him in shock and amazement.
Leo was still kneeling on the ground after he said he wanted to teach Sandy on behalf of her parents.
And just now, David said he would teach Sandy a lesson on behalf of her brother.
Even Sandy’s friends were looking at David with contempt.
Why did so many people want to teach Sandy a lesson today?
They were waiting for Sandy to blow a gasket.
However, Sandy only lowered her head and said in an aggrieved tone,
“Oh, I got it, Dave.”
At this moment, all of their expressions turned from ridicule to shock. When did Sandy, the fiend in the human form of the Luther family, become such a good girl?
Sandy never even obeyed anyone in her family.
Even though Sandy sounded a little aggrieved right now, she was feeling happy inside.
Ever since David appeared next to her and used his fingers to stop Zachary’s sword that was about to stab into her heart, David’s place in her heart had upgraded immensely. David even surpassed her brother Charles’ position in her heart now.
A figure that suddenly appeared when you were feeling hopeless would usually be the one that you would remember the easiest. Moreover, as a member of SCC, she naturally knew the weight of the eight great fighters in T Faction, and recognized that even her brother Charles was not their opponent. Since David could defeat Zachary, then he was truly a powerful person.
She, Sandy Luther, worshiped powerful people.
This was a powerful person who saved her life before. So, she felt happy when David said that to her because it meant that David cared about her.
Then, Sandy asked, “Um, Dave, can I come during the holidays?” “Yes, you can, but you have to get rid of your afro, gigantic earrings, and also the heavy makeup on your face. You’re a student, so you have to look like one.”
“Alright then! Right, Dave, when are you free? My grandpa says he wants to meet you and thank you.”
David thought about it and said, “Maybe not this week, but I’ll call your brother when I have time.”
He still had to show respect to the Luther family, but he could only wait until the next week.
“Alright, Dave, we’ll get going now!” Sandy gathered her friends and got ready to leave…
However, before she left, she said to Leo, “Leo Tate, right? I remember you now. I hope you can still be a kid from a rich family tomorrow.” After Leo heard that, he collapsed on the ground in fear.
Oh no, everything was gone now. Once he successfully angered the
Luther family, how would his family continue to stay in River City?
He did not dare to imagine what kind of life would be waiting for him once his family went bankrupt.
Chapter 105
Sandy left with her friends.
Now, only the people who had dinner together earlier were the ones left in the room.
Leo sat limply on the ground with lifeless eyes.
Jacob was secretly feeling lucky,
Meanwhile, Amelia was looking at David with a sparkle in her eyes.
Not only Amelia, the other girls in the room also had the same gaze.
They did not expect David to be a big shot.
He was so secretive about this!
David felt awkward as those people were looking at him with hungry eyes.
“Um, Amelia, I have to go now. You should continue to have fun,” David said.
When Amelia heard that David was leaving, she would not allow it. She walked over to hug David’s arm and said, “David, you’re not allowed to leave. Today is my birthday and you haven’t given me a present.” Amelia was holding David’s arm and he felt awkward. He could feel
Amelia’s softness and he wanted to get away from her grip. However, Amelia was holding him very tightly and was not giving him a chance to escape.
“Um, Amelia, can I give you the present on another day? I really didn’t know that today was your birthday.”
“No, you have to give it today,” Amelia said as she held David’s arm tightly.
She even purposely brushed David’s arm against her ample bosom while she was holding it, causing David’s face to turn red.
Even though he had been dating Sarah for a few years, he was still a virgin. So how would he be able to endure the teasing of a girl like Amelia?
A few brave girls came over to David and started pulling him. They all wanted to worm their way into a relationship with David.
In the end, David had no choice but to agree not to leave for the time being.
Since Leo was still in the room, they switched to another room and continued to have fun.
Jacob and the other guys did not dare to go. Jacob was a little fearful when he looked at David and he only wanted to leave as fast as he could in case he ended up like Leo.
Their party only ended when it was about midnight.
When Amelia was going to pay, she was told that all of David’s expenses in Fuller Golden Sands would be waived. Everyone was exclaiming in admiration again.
David was too mysterious. How did they never realize that he was such a big shot?
“David, where do you live?” Amelia asked when they walked to the entrance to the Fuller Golden Sands.
“I live in the suburbs,” David answered.
“David, didn’t you drive here? Can you drive us?” One of the girls said.
“Yeah, yeah! Drive us back to campus. It’s so late and it’s so dangerous for us to call a car back home,” another girl chimed in. “Um, my car can’t fit so many people,” David answered.
There were more than ten girls left and, indeed, they could not all fit into David’s car. Only one of them could get in.
“We can squeeze, or you can take two trips. If not, how are we going back so late?”
“Yeah!”
When they walked to David’s Bugatti Veyron, David patted the car and said, “This is my car! If I were to drive all of you, I’ll have to take ten trips.”
When the girls saw the flashy Bugatti Veyron, they were in a daze. It was so pretty… Indeed, women could not resist super luxurious cars like this.
“Wow, David, is this your car? It’s so pretty!”
“This is such an amazing car! Leo and Jacob’s cars are so cheap. What car is this? Go look it up.”
Chapter 106
An international limited-edition sports car like a Bugatti Veyron does induce quite the shock, after all. Everyone pulled out their phones and started searching it up.
“Wow! That’s a limited-edition Bugatti Veyron! Its official price is six… sixty million?!” A girl stuttered as she read out the price.
Sixty million was an astronomical value to these students.
Even sons of wealthy families like Jacob and Leo could only dream of owning a sports car that cost sixty million.
“Sorry! I don’t think I can fetch you guys today, please hitch a ride home yourselves! I can pay for your taxi bills, goodbye!”
With that David unlocked the car and got in, about to leave. He had long passed his limit today, being surrounded by beauties since the beginning of the night.
Any ordinary man would feel frustrated if he was subjected to the teasing touches of these women all night.
He had just got into the car when the passenger seat opened, and Amelia got in.
Now was not the time for politeness. If she wanted David to be hers, she would have to take every opportunity to spend time with him. The ladies outside were infuriated that they did not think of sitting in the passenger seat too when they saw Amelia do so.
It was a great chance, after all. Not only could they sit in a nice car, but they would also have the chancet o spend time with David alone. David was shocked and he told her, “Amelia, I’m not going back to the school.”
“You can bring me anywhere you want, David! I’m going wherever you are going tonight,” Amelia replied.
‘Anywhere I want?’
David’s mind started to wander.
David looked at Amelia only to find her looking at him with a slight flush on her cheeks. In all honesty, it would be a lie if David claimed that he felt nothing for a goddess-like beauty such as Amelia.
As one of the three campus belles of SRU, not only did Amelia have exquisite features and a delicate body, but she was also passionate. Almost no man could remain unfazed when she took the initiative to flirt. However, David had his morals. He was different from animals like Leo who only thought with their lower halves.
Otherwise, there was no way he would respect Sarah’s wishes and stay abstinent during the four years they were together.
“I don’t think this is a good idea, Amelia.”
“What’s not good about this? I was already yours when you became my Top Fan last time. I wouldn’t be able to escape if Leo managed to become Top Fan, so thank you.”
Amelia’s words were too straightforward, and David found himself not knowing how to reply.
“Uh, Amelia, I think that if two people were to… do it, it should be on the basis that they are in love. Or what difference would they be from animals, right?”
“Aren’t human beings a kind of animal? You men are all animals who think with their lower half anyway!”
“Here’s where I have to disagree, Amelia! I am not like other men, okay?” David said strictly.
Amelia looked at David with a vague smile and asked, “Not like other men? Or are you just… lacking?” ‘What the f*ck!
‘No way I’m letting her get away with that!
“Amelia Hahn! That is an insult to my character! Take back what you just said and I’ll pretend nothing happened today. Or I’ll make you regret it tonight!” Even David’s tone had changed. Amelia’s insinuation was just too insulting.
“Am I wrong, David? I’m offering myself for you to clarify that misunderstanding,” Amelia insisted.
Her goal tonight was to prove herself to David anyway, so there was no reason for her to back down now.
“Mark your words. Don’t you regret it!”
Then David ignited the engine and stepped on the accelerator, disappearing before the crowd.
A sports car worth sixty million was exceptionally soundproof, and so no one outside heard a single word of their conversation.
Chapter 107
David drove his Bugatti Veyron and arrived at South River International Residence with Amelia in tow.
Stopping his car at the main entrance, he turned to Amelia and said, “It’s still not too late to regret it. I can send you back to school.” “A-As if!” Amelia summoned the courage to say.
She did not regret coming, but that did not mean she was not nervous.
After all, this was an important moment in a woman’s life. She had always been a good and self-respecting lady. While she had used a few tricks and ingenuity before to change her family’s living conditions, she still practiced self-respect when it came to her own body.
She also had this constant dream of finding her prince charming and giving her first time to him.
In her heart, David was her prince charming.
The first time she heard about David was when he broke up with Sarah and vomited blood in anger. Leo had found out and uploaded it on all the group chats and social media platforms within SRU.
Then to take revenge on Leo, David became her Top Fan and she met him in Golden Leaf Hotel.
It was then that she found out David came from an exceptionally wealthy family and was of a much higher class than people like Leo. However, what truly attracted her to David was not his extremely wealthy family background. She might love money, but only because it could improve her family’s living standards. She was not a gold digger.
It was the fact that David could spend four years as Sarah’s boyfriend and still remain sexually abstinent. I t was the fact that when David loved, he never forgot. This was evident in his self-written song, Boy, while the man had a calm aura around him regardless of the situation at hand. Being around the sons of wealthy families, Amelia had her own conclusions on men.
Men like Leo were only after her because she was “fresh”, and making one of the Three Campus Belles of
SRU his girlfriend would fill him with gratification as well as him make him the envy of others.
It was possible that once the initial excitement of the relationship wears out, Leo might feel the desire to go after Ava or Luna next. Men like Leo could never be satisfied.
However, David was different. The moment your relationship with him was physical, he would take full responsibility until the end.
There would only be more girls wanting to be with David now that his family background and talent were slowly made public. She had to make a move as soon as possible.
This explained her actions tonight.
David did not say anything more as he drove his car inside the residential area.
He was nervous as well, and his palm on the steering wheel started to sweat.
He parked the car and they walked up together.
No one said anything as they walked. They were both too nervous.
Ava did not even have the mood to admire the luxuriousness of the house when she entered. 4
She would have been too shocked to say anything anyway.
Not that she said anything now, since she was so nervous.
Amelia sat on the couch blankly while David stood beside her, not knowing what to say.
“Uh, Amelia, do you want to go take a shower first?” David asked carefully.
“Huh? Oh! Yeah, sure.”
Amelia stood up nervously and prepared to take a shower, but this was her first time in David’s house and she did not know where the bathroom was. Too embarrassed to ask, she could only stand in place. “Oh! Uh, the bathroom is over there!” David pointed in the direction of the bathroom.
Blushing, Amelia rushed over and opened the bathroom door, then she locked it from the inside.
David sat on the sofa, still nervous, as Amelia went to take a shower.
To calm himself down, he pulled out his phone to play with it.
Just as he turned it on, he realized that he had seven to eight missed calls.
David immediately tapped into it to check and found that Lily had been trying to call him since eight pm. H e did not know when he had silenced his phone, and so he did not realize someone was trying to call him i na place as rowdy as Fuller Golden Sands Entertainment Center. David’s chest tightened. He was worried that she was in danger again, so he immediately called back.
Lily picked up the phone very quickly.
“Dave!” David felt his chest lighten when he heard Lily’s voice.
Chapter 108
“Why did you call me so many times, Lily? Did something happen? My phone was on silent and I didn’t realize you called,” David explained.
“Dave, my… my mom got beaten up!”
‘What?
‘Aunt Sally got beaten up?’
If David had to list down the people, he cared about in the world from most to least, then his aunts Sally Lowe and Diana Lidell would both take first place. That is, excluding his deceased parents.
Ever since his parents passed due to that incident, the only place where he felt any warmth was with his Aunt Sally and Diana. Hence, David was immediately enraged when he found out that Aunt Sally got beaten up.
According to his understanding of Aunt Sally, she was not the type of person to provoke someone out of the blue.
“Who beat her up? Is she badly hurt?” David quickly asked. “Your cousin brother Quinn beat her up! She’s not hurt too badly, the doctor said she’ll be fine after a few days of rest,” Lily replied. “How could Quinn beat Aunt Sally up? Don’t tell me she went to collect that debt for me again!”
“Tsk! Just, it’s too hard to explain over the phone, Dave! Just come over and look for yourself! My brother’s about to go take revenge tomorrow!” David was fuming with anger.
Lily might not have told him anything through the phone, but he already had an idea of what had happened.
Aunt Sally must have gone to help him collect compensation for his parent’s incident. His aunt must have refused, causing both parties to argue, and Quinn must have beaten Aunt Sally up on behalf of his mother. ‘That brat. I’m going to make you pay for that. ‘Is it not bad enough that you’re not paying money you owe? How can you beat someone up as well?
‘What kind of people does this family consist of?’
Originally, he did not plan to collect that money. Not when he already had more than enough to spend.
However, now there was no way he would let them get away with not paying. He would rather give the money to beggars on the street than let them keep it.
“Lily, didn’t I give you money? I also told you to tell your mom about it, didn’t I? Why is she still so adamant about collecting compensation?” “Dave, how am I supposed to tell her when you keep it a secret?” Lily asked indignantly.
“I was afraid Aunt Sally would worry that I got the money from illegal trading!”
“I am a woman, how am I supposed to explain suddenly having so much money? What if my mom thinks that I found myself a sugar daddy instead of focusing on my studies?” David was rendered speechless.
“Fine, I’m going over right now! I’ll get there before sunrise, so keep an eye on Jacey, don’t let him run off.”
Jacey was a rambunctious man. There was no telling what would happen if he managed to find Quinn.
“Alright! Come quick!”
David ended the call with Lily and immediately called Wayne and the others so that they could come and fetch him.
A Bugatti Veyron was a bad choice to drive in the small county because of its low chassis. Thus, he could only take the G-Wagon back. After ending the call, David glanced in the direction of the bathroom where Amelia was taking a shower. Without informing her, he went downstairs.
On the way to the county, David sent Amelia a text to explain that something had happened at home and h e had to leave. He also told her that she was free to spend the night in his house.
After sending that message, David pondered a bit before adding a sentence.
“Something really did happen, Amelia! I swear I’m not running away!” It would be a huge insult to his character if Amelia ended up misunderstanding and assuming that he was lacking in that department. ‘But will she believe me?
‘Probably not. Damn it!
‘Honestly, I might not believe it either if I were her.
‘That’s it. My great reputation is tarnished.
‘But now isn’t the time to worry about that.’ David decided that he would deal with the matter of his reputation after he solved the issue at hand.
Chapter 109
David did not have to wait too long at the entrance of South River International Residence before Wayne and Gavin arrived in the G-Wagon.
David gave Wayne a location once he got into the car and Wayne immediately set the GPS.
David’s hometown was in South River Province as well, it was just that it was a rural county five to six hundred kilometers away.
He should be able to arrive in the morning if he set off now.
Amelia took more than half an hour in the bathroom before she walked out with a sway to her hips. She knew she was about to experience an important moment in her life.
Amelia wrapped a towel around herself when she walked out, her hair still wet, which accentuated her figure. She looked very appealing, and the sight could easily make youthful men nosebleed.
It was a shame that David had already left and could not take in such a pleasing sight.
Amelia did not see David when she walked out. Thinking that David had gone upstairs, she sat on the sofa to wait for him.
David still had not appeared after a while, and out of boredom, she took her phone out. Only then did she see the two messages David sent her.
Amelia was stunned the moment she read David’s messages. Then she left out a soft snort.
‘David ran away?
‘Something happened at home?
‘As if I’d believe that!
‘Isn’t it too late for something to happen right now?
Just as she thought, David was not an easy man.
Not that she was an easy woman either. After all, she was still a virgin.
She was just trying to pursue her own happiness now that she met someone she liked.
Amelia relaxed now that David had left, and started to walk around aimlessly, admiring the house she was in.
She had been too nervous to look around when she first arrived, but now that she had calmed down, she took in the design of the house. She had never seen a house so extravagant, not even on the internet. Amelia stood before the huge floor-to-ceiling windows and admired the night view of the River Leeds. It felt unreal.
Amelia admired the view a little longer and took a few pictures with her phone before she went upstairs t o the 28th floor.
‘There’s a private pool?’
The ceiling above the pool was made with glass, meaning that you could see the twinkling stars in the night sky just by looking up.
She wondered how it would feel to lie in the pool and look up at the stars.
Hence, she went and did it.
Amelia grabbed an air mattress by the pool and placed it on the water, then she laid on top of it. The mattress slowly floated into the middle of the pool, and she laid atop it staring at the stars above.
It would be perfect if David was here hugging her; Perhaps they could share a bottle of red wine as well.
Amelia looked down at the towel she wrapped around herself and took it off.
‘How could David have the heart to leave in face of such an alluring body?’ She wondered to herself,’ What a boring man.’
At the same time, David was currently rushing to Aunt Sally’s house.
Aunt Sally’s injury was a big deal. Even though it wasn’t serious, David still felt guilty, especially since she was injured when collecting money for him.
It was already six in the morning by the time David arrived in Shu City. He took a small nap in the early morning, while Wayne and Gavin took turns driving.
David took the steering wheel once they arrived at Shu City since Wayne and Gavin were not familiar with the roads and they would arrive much quicker if David drove.
After arriving at the lobby of Aunt Sally’s residence, David had Wayne and Gavin wait in the car while he went up himself.
Lily was the one who opened the door; David had already informed her of his arrival when he arrived in Shu City “Come in, Dave!”
“How is it? Where’s Aunt Sally? Where’s Jacey?” David asked. “Inside. My dad’s keeping watch over Jace, making sure that he doesn’t go and look for Quin.”
David immediately saw Uncle Yousef sitting on the sofa watching television once he entered the house.
“Uncle Yousef!” David greeted with a shout.
“You’re here, Dave! Go check on your Aunt Sally! Seriously, she’s not young anymore, why did she even go and argue with other people? See?
Now she’s bedridden!” Yousef said..
Uncle Yousef was a clerk, so he was very reliable and could remain calm even when trouble occurred.
He might not have been the best to David, but he had never treated David badly during the two years he spend here.
‘Bedridden?
“I thought Lily said she would recover after a few days of rest!
Just how severe was she injured to become bedridden?’
David immediately rushed to Aunt Sally’s room, only to find her lying on the bed, asleep.
Not wanting to disrupt her sleep, David closed the door softly and left.
He went back to the living room to sit with Uncle Yousef and Lily.
“What happened, Uncle Yousef?” David asked.
Yousef then told David what happened.
It was not too far from what David had guessed.
David was owed around two million worth of compensation for his parent’s incident.
David had not even turned ten years old yet at the time of their passing, so the money was given to his new guardians for safe keeping.
In the end, David decided to follow his uncle Bobby. However, there was an issue with the compensation money and his uncle Bobby stressed that he would only hand the money back to David when David turned eighteen.
However, neither David’s Aunt Sally nor Aunt Diana believed Uncle
Bobby, so they wrote up an agreement and gave the agreement to Aunt
Sally.
David’s life with Bobby took a sharp downturn after the latter received the compensation, and David’s life only got better once he moved to live with his Aunt Sally in high
David was already twenty-one now, he was about to graduate university, yet Bobby showed no signs of returning the money to him.
Thus, when Aunt Sally took the agreement and went to look for David’s uncle, Bobby, she told Bobby that she would file a suit against him if he did not pay David back.
In the end, David’s Aunt Sally ended up getting into an argument with his Aunt Karen, and when Quin returned home and saw what happened, he decided to help his mom and pushed Sally twice. Then, Sally fell and hurt her back.
Sally’s back was already fragile, and she twisted it after Quin pushed her down. It was going to take around half a month before she could fully recover.
“Where’s Jacey?” David asked again.
“He kept saying how he was going to go look for Quin to take revenge for his mom when he woke up this morning, but I stopped him from leaving. So he locked himself angrily in his room,” Yousef replied.
“I’ll deal with this, Uncle Yousef. Don’t worry, I’ll get justice for Aunt Sally.”
“Do not resort to violence, Dave. If they’re not willing to listen to reason, then we’ll protect ourselves with the law. Do not act rashlv, understood?”
“I understand, Uncle Yousef. I’ll go check on Jace.” David then walked over to Jacey’s bedroom.
This used to be his bedroom too. Aunt Sally lived in a three-bedroom apartment, so he spent the two years in this house rooming with Jacey. They were pretty close.
Chapter 110
David arrived at Jacey’s bedroom and tried to push open the door. It was to no avail, though, because Jacey had locked it from the inside.
“Knock knock.”
David knocked on the door and said, “It’s me, Jace, open the door.” After a while, the sound of the door unlocking could be heard, but the door remained closed.
David pushed open the door and entered, only to see Jacey fuming on the bed.
Jacey was only sixteen this year, studying his first year of high school at Shu City. His father Yousef had pulled many connections to enroll Jacey into a good high school.
Jacey was currently at a rebellious age, so he wanted to take revenge when his mom got beaten up.
It was only natural that he would feel angry when his dad made him stay at home.
“What happened, Jace? Tell me,” David said as he walked over to pat Jacey’s shoulder.
“Dave! Quin hit my mom! I’m going to f*cking kill him, but my dad won’t let me go! Just because my dad’s a coward doesn’t mean I am too!” Jacey said angrily.
David smacked the back of Jacey’s head and reprimanded, “Excuse me? Who talks about their dad like that, huh?” “I’m not wrong!” Jacey refuted.
“Your dad’s not being a coward, he’s being logical. What if something happened to him? What will happen to you and your sister? Your mom’s back is weak, she can’t do anything too straining. Your dad’s the one holding your whole family up, he already has enough on his hands. How can you call him a coward?”
“If he can’t afford to go, then at least let me! But he won’t let me go out.”
“Stop saying that you’re going to kill people here and there. Your mom’s going to be heartbroken if something happens to you. This happened because of me, so let me resolve this, okay? I promise I’ll get justice.” “Really?” Jacey asked.
“Of course! Just you wait! Once Aunt Sally’s back recovers, we’ll go and take revenge for Aunt Sally!’
“Alright! You said it, Dave!”
David brought Jacey out and they sat in the living room, waiting for Lily to bring breakfast over.
In the living room, David told Uncle Yousef he wanted to bring Aunt Sally to River City for treatment.
Yousef gave it some thought and agreed, then he called his superior and asked for a leave.
He wanted to bring Sally to the large hospitals in River City a long time ago, but Sally always refused.
In truth, Sally just wanted to keep the expenses low. After all, Yousef was the only one working in this household and their current expenses were already pretty high.
Sally woke up not too long after.
David quickly rushed over. “Aunt Sally! How are you feeling?” “Dave? Why are you here?” Sally asked.
“Aunt Sally, how can I not come back when something this big happened?” David replied.
“It’s not a big deal. My back’s always been bad. I’ll be fine after a few days.”
“Aunt Sally, why did you have to go and ask Bobby for the compensation?
Don’t you know what kind of person he is?”
“But your parents left that money for you. You’re about to graduate from university, and you’ll need that money to plan your wedding. I have to get it back for you! Plus, we have the agreement he signed. Worse comes to worst, we can just file a suit against him!” Sally replied. “Alright. We can talk about this later, what’s most important now is to get treatment for your back. I already called a good hospital in River City, and we can leave in a bit.”
“River City? I’m not going! I’m fine! I’ll be good as new in a few days, so there’s no point in going at all. I’ve dealt with this back for years,” Sally rejected.
What Sally was worried about was how much the treatment in River City would cost.
Her family was not wealthy, as Yousef was the only working adult and the sole breadwinner
Her children were currently studying in university and high school, while even David’s school fees were raised with the help of David’s aunt Diana.
There were little to no savings at home, and using the limited funds on her treatment would only make the financial situation at home more precarious.
Much love for these chapters bangers back to back gone read.
