Chapter 291
Howard started from the first time he met David at the Fuller Golden Sands Entertainment Center in River City with Zachary and ended with the moment David had looked for him . yesterday.
“You… You’re so foolish! Who asked you to get involved in the fight between them? You don’t even know who the other person is. Do you want to die so badly? I know you’re trying to rely o n the Quinns, but have you ever thought about whether our family can afford to provoke the opponent of the Quinns? Our family in Capital City can only be regarded as a third-rate family, but now that the heir of the Quinn family, a first-rate family, has died, they can only bear it themselves and don’t even dare to make it public. Wouldn’t it be like crushing an ant if that other person wanted to kill you?” Mrs. Jackson said, feeling disappointed in her son.
“Mom, I know I was wrong, what should I do now? I’m so scared.
David really dares to kill. He would have killed me if I wasn’t in school yesterday. Please help me,” Howard said while sobbing He was really frightened.
He almost had an emotional breakdown the moment he learned that Zachary had died.
“You should leave as quickly as you can. I’ll take you to the airport and you’ll go abroad, don’t come back for the time being. Also, you can’t tell your dad about this. Otherwise, he might abandon you for the sake of the family.”
While talking, Mrs. Jackson started the car and headed for the airport. This time, she was driving as fast as the car could travel without needing Howard to remind her.
“Mom, what will happen to you guys if David came after you?” Howard calmed down and asked.
“Don’t worry, if you’re not here, we will have our own methods. After all, this is Capital City. I f the culprit is not around, he will not dare to do anything to us,” Mrs. Jackson comforted.
Although she said this, she was far from calm in her heart.
Since a first-rate family like the Quinns could only swallow their breaths after the death of their heir, it was obvious that the power behind David was absolutely terrifying.
After their son left, even if David did not dare to do anything to their family openly, their family would be finished the moment a force of this level did something from the shadows.
Moreover, she could not tell her husband Bruce about this yet or her son would never be able t o leave.
For the sake of the entire Jackson family, her son would be forced to become a sacrifice. Bruce did not lack sons, but she only had Howard. So, she had to protect him no matter what.
She could only send him away first and then go back to her husband to have a good discussion about this.
Howard and her mother were panicking in the car because they had offended David. Meanwhile, David was not bothered by this at all.
He did not want to do anything to Howard at all and he was just scaring him the day before.
He always knew how to distinguish gratitude and grudges. Yesterday, he used his mind power t o oppress Howard, and judging from Howard’s answer, he really had no idea that Zachary would kill him.
Therefore, he did not care about such a small character at all.
David could not kill Howard just because he told Zachary his location, right?
David was not so ruthless yet.
Of course, if Howard knew that Zachary was going to assassinate him, and then provided the exact location for him, it would be another matter.
After Zachary’s death, David’s life became peaceful once again.
However, Team Spider told him that he could not relax now because the money on the dark web was paid in advance, so even if the employer,
Zachary, was dead, the task would continues o long as someone accepted it.
David was not bothered. With his current body at extraordinary level 4 and mind power at extraordinary level 1, he was not bothered by ordinary people.
His immediate goals were Leeman and Lucas.
However, his lavish points increased too slowly, and it was upsetting him. It was only at 86 points, not even 100 points yet.
If not, he could increase his body to extraordinary level 5. He did not know that because of Zachary’s death, a lot of the children from aristocratic families were scared witless. They were all scared of running into him, the bringer of bad luck.
Thus, he decided he was going to go back to class.
He was a student after all. Since nothing was going on lately and everyone was asking him to keep a low profile, then he would do just that.
Even though his lavish points were increasing very slowly right now, his lavish points would increase exponentially when his foundation got on the right track, in addition to the force of the people that Pearl sent to various cities including Springfield and Capital City.
Once that happened, he would increase his body and mind power to the max, and then he would upgrade and learn other combat techniques. By then, he should be able to do whatever he wanted.
At the very least, he would not be scared of people like Leeman and Lucas.
Chapter 292
In a luxurious manor in Capital City.
This was the Shoron family’s stronghold in Capital City.
As a hidden aristocratic family, they had only stepped into the public eye in the last two years.
To be able to open new prospects as soon as possible, they joined forces with the Quinn family.
Luna parked the car in front of the gate.
Today, she received a call from the family butler asking her to come to the manor because he needed to inform her of something.
Soon, the door opened.
“Miss Luna, please come in.” The two servants stood aside and bowed respectfully.
Luna drove the car into the manor and parked in the garage, but her eyes narrowed when she saw a pink sports car parked next to her.
Walking into the hall of the villa in the manor, she saw a young woman lying on the sofa with a mask on. A middle-aged man was sitting next to her and talking to her.
Although the young woman was wearing a mask and her face was hidden, just from her figure alone, one could tell that this woman was a minx.
The middle-aged man saw Luna and called out, “Miss Luna.”
“Alfred, why did you ask me to come back?” Luna asked straightforwardly.
Alfred was about to speak, but he was interrupted by the woman lying on the sofa with the mask, “My good sister, you are finally back. I have good news to tell you. Didn’t you always dislike the husband that the family found for you? Your future husband has now gone to see Hades!
What do you think? Are you happy?”
“What?”
Luna was taken aback.
Zachary was dead?
How was that possible?
It was such a huge piece of news, so why had she not heard anything about it?
Before she could say anything, Wendy continued, “However, the family decided unanimously that we will continue to work with the Quinn family, which means that even though Zachary has kicked the bucket, we’re still partners. However, your future husband has changed from Zachary to Noah. This Noah person seems to be an illegitimate child of the head of the Quinn family. What do you think? Are you shocked? Are you blown away by the surprise?”
Luna’s expression changed and she looked at the middle-aged man before asking, “Alfred, is she telling the truth?”
“Miss Luna, Miss Wendy is telling the truth. It’s the family’s decision and I am only the messenger,” Alfred replied.
Luna smiled miserably and said, “I’m just a pet to please others in your eyes, right? If my current owner is gone, it’s fine, just pass me to another one.”
“Miss Luna, this is definitely not what the family means. It’s just that if we want to unlock new opportunities, we must cooperate with a family that is at least first-rate, and the Quinn family is the family we chose. Even if you marry into their family, you will be the patriarch’s wife, so you won’t suffer. So, Miss Luna, please understand the painstaking efforts of the family,” Alfred said with a blank expression. “Then why am I the one getting married off and not her?” Luna pointed at Wendy and said.
“My good sister, why do you still not understand? I was cultivated according to be the future head of the Shoron family. How can I marry out of the family? They can only recruit a live-in son-in-law for me, okay? And as the heir of the family, I have the right to choose my husband,” Wendy said with a smile.
“Wendy, who are you to say that? You have always robbed me of everything ever since you were a child. As long as it’s something I like, you will want to snatch it and destroy it even if it’s not to your taste. The elders in the family said that I’m the big sister and I should leave you be.
I’m only three months older than you!” Luna yelled at Wendy.
“Who am I to say that? Well, I got into the first rank in martial arts at the age of 18. I am 21 years old this year and will soon enter the Tiger Rank, but what about you, my good sister? You are three months older than me but are you even at first rank? Our family is different from those families outside. Martial arts is the foundation of everything. Otherwise, no matter how smart you are, you will not escape the fate of being sent outside by the family.” Although Wendy was wearing a mask, Luna could still see the disdain on her face.
“Miss Luna, this is the arrangement of the head of the Shoron family and the elders. As a member of the Shoron family, you should dedicate everything to the development of the family, so please don’t question the family’s decision.”
“Heh, Wendy, don’t feel too pleased now. Do you think you’ve won?
Not necessarily. Let’s wait and see how things pan out.” After Luna said that, she turned around and left the villa. She did not want to stay here and get humiliated.
Wendy and the butler Alfred were the only ones left.
Wendy asked, “Alfred, what does her last sentence mean? Does she still have any hidden trump cards?”
Alfred thought for a while and said, “I don’t think so. Maybe she’s just saying that to confuse you so that you will make a mistake when you break through the barrier to Tiger Rank, Miss Wendy. You have to believe that in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is useless and powerless, so the most important thing for you now is to step into the Tiger Rank as soon as possible so that your position will be unchallengeable.”
“I got it,”Wendy said and went upstairs.
Luna was driving down the road.
Tears flowed down her face unconsciously.
Zachary was dead!
And she had to marry the Quinns’ new heir, Noah. If Noah died, she would go on to marry the Quinns’ next heir. This was her fate.
An inescapable fate.
Who asked her to be born in a hidden aristocratic family like the Shoron family?
If she had a choice, she would rather be born into an ordinary family and
live the life of an ordinary person
Unfortunately, there was no such chances in this world.
No, she was not willing to have her family make every decision for her like this for the rest of her life.
She had to find a way to fight.
Now she only had one trump card left, and it was also her only chance to escape her fate. This was David’s promise
As long as David was willing to help her, she would be able to escape from the Shoron family’s control.
The power David showed her last time out was too great and it definitely belonged to at least a Tiger Ranker.
Moreover, he might just be a beginner Tiger Ranker.
She had felt the same pressure from the elder of the family, who was a peak Tiger Ranker.
The power of a peak Tiger Ranker! How old was David?
He was around the same age as her, which meant he was around the same age as Wendy.
However, their power was worlds apart.
If Wendy could be cultivated as the heir of the Shoron family, what about David?
He was so young and he already had such strong strength. One could only imagine the power o f his family behind him.
However, the problem right now was that she was just in the same university as David, but this was not enough to make David support her fully.
Right now, she had to think of a way to get closer to David and make him help her.
This was her only chance!
Chapter 293
David went back to school to continue his classes. He was preparing to keep a low profile for a few days.
His appearance also attracted the attention of his classmates. After all, he was the rumored boyfriend of Celia, the prettiest girl on campus. At Greenwood University, anyone who was related to the goddesses could quickly become famous.
Two people were staring at David almost the entire morning. One was Amelia, who was full of resentment at this time. David rarely spoke to her nowadays and she had no idea why.
Could it be that he felt that she was someone who did not have any self-respect because she offered herself to him last time out?
Probably!
What should she do?
She had never done that thing with any boys before, and she was still a virgin, okay?
However, she could not tell him that.
Sigh, how annoying.
She used to wonder about how she could walk among the boys every day without being taken advantage of.
Now, she was wondering how to give herself to him.
Amelia was still confident in her assets, and this was confirmed with the gazes of all the boys looking at her. Whenever they looked at her, it looked as if they were dying to swallow her whole.
Of course, this did not include David. She had never detected any lewdness in David’s eyes before.
However, that was not right either!
If he had difficulties in that aspect, how could he get involved with that Celia person?
The other person, of course, was Luna, who was wondering how she could get David to help her.
Although David still owed her a promise, David also said that it would depend on his mood whether he would fulfill this promise or not.
She could not let this happen.
She had to make David help her willingly.
If that was the case, she needed to give David a good impression of her.
What was her advantage?
She was a woman!
She should also be considered a pretty charming woman, right?
However, Luna lifted her head to look at Amelia.
At this point, she figured that David might not be interested in this. If not, why would he refuse an extraordinarily beautiful woman like Amelia?
If he was not interested in women, then she should target him in other aspects.
However, how should she get the attention of someone with a background and also very skillful like David and then give him a good impression of herself?
He seemed to not lack anything, right?
Sigh, this was so hard.
However, when she thought of Wendy’s arrogant face, she knew she could not give up so easily.
This was her only chance.
The two extremely gorgeous women were trying to get close to David with different purposes i n mind.
The two goddesses from South River University were staring at David, which made him very confused.
Luna and Amelia were staring at him this whole time, and with David’s extraordinary level 1 mind power, he naturally sensed it.
He knew Amelia had a crush on him, and if it was not for Aunt Sally’s incident back then, something might have happened between the two of them.
Even though he knew Amelia was saying that to indirectly make him do what she wanted, he still could not endure it. This was complete humiliation to a man.
She could say anything, but she could not say that he could not get it up. However, why did he have to receive the news of Aunt Sally getting hurt at this time?
Now, she really would really think that he could not get it up. Thus, he would do everything he could to avoid her because it was indeed pretty humiliating. H e could not face Amelia after that.
Chapter 294
Moreover, Amelia’s attitude towards him changed after he gave her gifts worth millions.
He was still somewhat resistant to this kind of relationship that was built upon money.
However, what was with Luna?
Did she have a crush on him too?
Although he was peerless, handsome, and attractive, what was she trying to do staring at him the whole morning?
Were girls so bold these days?
Or maybe he was just not caught up with the news.
He had been absent for a few days.
At noon, David was going to have a simple meal in the school cafeteria. As soon as he walked out of the cafeteria, he was stopped by two students from Greenwood University.
“Are you David?” One of them asked.
“Yes,” David replied.
“Someone wants to see you, come with us.” After that, that person took the lead and showed him the way.
However, the other one did not move and instead just looked at David.
David shrugged and followed the first person as the other person followed behind him.
He was a bit confused. He did not know anyone at Greenwood
University, and looking at the other party’s posture, they clearly did not come in peace, but he still decided to follow them to see what was going on.
David was taken next to the artificial lake at Greenwood University, where he and Celia were last photographed.
There was already someone sitting there waiting.
“Hanley, David is here.”
Hanley turned to look at David and asked, “Are you David?” David wanted to laugh.
‘Can they f*cking do something else?
‘You don’t even know who I am, so why did you invite me here? Are you sick in the head?’
However, David still replied, “I am.”
(TTT
“What’s your relationship with Celia?” Hanley asked again.
David understood instantly.
It was one of Celia’s admirers.
Right! With Celia’s conditions, she would stand out wherever she went. He must have been spotted the last time Celia took him on a tour of Greenwood University.,
This was how universities were now. Too many people liked to gossip, and even the smallest thing could go viral. Even Greenwood University, the world’s top university, was no exception to this.
“Do I have to inform you of my relationship with Celia?” David asked rhetorically.
“Celia is the goddess of Greenwood University, and she was not someone whom you can contaminate. You’d better go back to where you come from and finish your duty as an exchange student quietly. Then, when it’s time, go back to South River University quietly, otherwise…”
“Otherwise?”
“Otherwise, you won’t be able to finish your studies or graduate. How will you explain this to your family? Right? After all, it’s not easy to go to university,” Hanley threatened.
“Oh? Are you also a chancellor? Do you also have the power to fail a student?” David joked.
“David, don’t try to be funny. I invited you here this time to give you a chance. Don’t blame m e for being uncourteous next time.” Ring ring ring!
Ring ring ring!
David was about to speak when his phone rang in his pocket.
When he looked at it, it was from Celia.
“Hello, David, where are you? I need to see you.” After he pressed the answer button, he heard Celia’s voice.
“Um, I’m by the artificial lake,” David answered. “I’ll be there soon. Give me a minute.” Celia hung up after she said that.
At this moment, Hanley said, “David, think about it. I hope you won’t make a mistake. If not, I won’t speak so nicely to you next time. If you don’t know who I am, you can ask the classmates from your temporary class.”
He thought he had humbled himself to seek out David. If David still refused to be tactful, then he could not blame Hanley for acting out. In Capital City, Hanley had ten thousand ways to destroy David.
Chapter 295
Hanley turned to leave, but before he went far, he saw a fluttering figure in white approaching. Celia!
This figure had appeared in his dreams several times before. He was very excited, and he wanted to say hello, but Celia ignored him and walked past him before going directly to David.
“David, I… I have something to tell you,” Celia said shyly, standing in front of David.
“What’s the matter?” David asked.
Celia looked at David and then at Hanley and his gang, who were not far away, before saying embarrassedly, “Can we go talk in another place instead?”
David also looked at Hanley’s almost distorted face and said, “Let’s go.” Then, he walked away first.
Celia followed David, and the two walked to an empty place. Celia gathered up her courage and said, “David, I want to invite you to my house. The last time you saved me, my dad was busy with work and didn’t have time to thank you. Now that they heard that you’re in Capital City, they wanted to invite over for dinner to thank you.”
After Celia finished speaking, she stared at David nervously, for fear that he would refuse.
David did not want to go. After all, it had been so many years since then. However, upon seeing Celia’s expectant eyes, he thought about it and said, “When is it?”
“Are you agreeing to this?” Celia exclaimed in surprise.
“Yeah, I accept the invitation. When are we going?” David asked with a smile.
“How about tonight? My parents will be home,” Celia said.
“Okay.”
“Then it’s settled. Don’t leave when class is over this afternoon. Wait for my call.” “Okay.”
The two chatted happily over here while Hanley was going crazy in the distance.
Celia ignored him just now and went straight to David?
Moreover, David dared to pretend that he did not exist and took Celia away?
David was completely unbothered by Hanley, and he was even afraid that Hanley would affect their date.
At this moment, the fire of jealousy rushed directly to the top of his head. The first time he met Celia, he viewed Celia as his woman, and he even told everyone that he would not go easy on anyone who provoked Celia.
As the second son of the Chasez family in Capital City, he had the confidence and right to do s
Even though Celia kept on rejecting him, he maintained the feeling that if he continued to treat Celia genuinely and sincerely, Celia would end up with him sooner or later.
He did not use other methods on Celia. One had to know that he did not have this kind of patience with other women back then. He would go rough on them if the soft approach did not work. Then, he would make threats and promises to the women and only decide what to do with them after he got them into bed.
He had looked into Celia’s background as well. Her mother was just the founder of a small company and her assets were only worth billions. To the Chasez family, this was indeed a small company.
Celia’s father was rumored to be a secretary of one of the senior officers, but he had been demoted now.
Besides, the officer would not offend the Chasez family because of a secretary.
So, it would be easy for him to go rough on Celia. He just needed to start with her family.
He would threaten her with her mother’s company or her father’s future, and she would obey him obediently.
However, he never did that because Celia was different from other women to him. He only wanted to fool around with the other women while he truly wanted to get married and have children with Celia. He did not want Celia to hate him forever.
That was why he never did anything in secret until now, and he had always pursued her openly.
However, that b*tch Celia was dating another man right in front of him.
At that moment, Hanley wanted to kill someone.
Since that b*tch was so cruel, then she should not blame him for being heartless.
He had to get Celia no matter what. He would not mind even if Celia hated him forever.
Hence, he should start with her family and then he would force Celia to obey him.
With the Chasez family’s power, it would be easy to deal with a small company with only billions in assets.
“Celia, just you wait. I’ll make you strip naked and beg me to sleep with you,” Hanley murmured in his heart.
At this moment, Hanley had completely exposed his true nature.
He would do anything to reach his goal.
Back then, even though Celia did not accept him, she never accepted any other man, so Hanley was still fine with that.
However, Celia had accepted another man, and he could not stand this. Not only did he want Celia to get into his bed obediently, he also wanted David to regret this for the rest of his life.
A sinister smile gradually appeared on the corner of Hanley’s lips.
After the afternoon class, David received a call from Celia.
She said she had been waiting at the entrance of the campus. The moment David got out of the campus, he spotted Celia standing next to a red Ferrari waving at him.
“David, over here!”
David walked over and asked, “Is this your car?” “Yeah, I normally won’t drive it to campus,” Celia answered.
This chick’s family background was not bad.
Back when they were in high school, he heard that Celia’s father was the person in charge with the most authority in their county. After a while, he was transferred away.
A moment later, the two got into the car and left.
David’s car was parked next to the school too, but since Celia drove to pick him up, he would not disappoint Celia.
Classes were over right now and the two’s high profiles attracted a lot of attention from the other students.
“Who was the one driving the red Ferrari?”
“It looks like the prettiest girl on campus Celia.”
“I think so too!”
“It doesn’t look like her because it is her!”
“Damn, who’s that guy next to her?”
“Isn’t that David, the exchange student from South River University that was rumored to be with Celia a few days ago?”
“Are they going to a hotel?”
“Maybe!”
“Damn, it’s official then! It’s official! This is huge news! Gigantic news! The prettiest girl on campus Celia left in the same car as exchange student David from South River University. They’re suspected to be going to their love nest to spend a spectacular night together.” “This will definitely be huge news!” “Isn’t Celia Hanley’s woman?”
“No, Celia never admitted it. David is Celia’s official boyfriend.” This news was quickly spread on the university website using someone’s phone.
It went viral immediately.
The title was ‘The Prettiest Girl on Campus Celia and Her Boyfriend
David Left in the Same Red Sports Car and It’s Suspected That They’re Going Back to Their Love Nest to spend a Spectacular Night Together.’ There were even photos attached.
This was even more explosive than the last bit of news and the effect was even more dramatic.
Hanley was about to leave campus when his phone rang. It was from his best friend, Ezra McGuire.
“Hanley, did you see the university website?” Ezra asked.
“No, why?” Hanley asked.
“Go look!”
“What the hell happened?”
“You’ll know when you look.” “Alright, I’ll hang up now.”
Chapter 296
Hanley hung up the call with Ezra.
Then, he logged into Greenwood University’s website where the first thing he saw was a huge title.
‘The Prettiest Girl on Campus Celia and Her Boyfriend David Left in the
Same Red Sports Car and It’s Suspected That They’re Going Back to Their Love Nest to spend a Spectacular Night Together Hanley quickly opened it and saw a few pictures.
They were all in high definition and he was able to see the two clearly.
It was indeed Celia and David!
The two left in a red sports car together. Boom!
Hanley felt like he had been struck by lightning.
David!
Celia!
How dare they?
No, Celia was his woman, so he would not allow them to do this. Hanley put away his phone and quickly walked out of campus. He wanted to stop Celia and David.
Along the way, Hanley felt that all his classmates were looking at him with mocking expressions on their faces.
They seemed to be saying, “Look, isn’t that Hanley? He even publicly announced that Celia was his woman and he would f*ck up whoever messes with her. Now that Celia has gone to a hotel with another man, he was still kept in the dark. Isn’t he slapping himself in the face?” Hanley’s expression was turning unpleasant.
The anger in his heart was also growing more intense.
He left campus quickly. He was afraid that if he stayed on campus for another minute, he would not be able to stop himself from crippling all the people watching him.
After leaving school and sitting in his car, Hanley calmed down, took out his cell phone, and made a call.
“What’s up?” A man’s voice came from the phone.
“Hank, I want to mobilize the power of the family!” Hanley said. Hanley’s brother, Hank, was on the phone with him. He was the eldest son of the Chasez family in Capital City and also one of the eight great fighters of the T Faction.
“What kind of sh*t are you trying to do? Let me tell you, Capital City has not been very safe recently. You’d better watch yourself. Did you not see that I haven’t gone out in the past two days?”
“Hank, I’ve been pursuing a woman for three years and she went on a date with another man today. Do you think I can just let it happen? It’s not just a slap in the face, it’s a slap in the face of the Chasez family too!” Hanley said, fire burning in his chest.
“You punk, you only think about women. Can’t you think of something else? It’s just a woman. You’re an adult now, so can you please grow up?”
“I don’t care! They dare to slap me in the face and they dare to slap our family in the face, so I can’t let them live their lives peacefully.” “Do you know the background of the other person?” Hank asked after staying silent for a while.
“Yeah! Yeah! That girl is my classmate at university and I’ve looked through her family background a long time ago. It’s just a small company worth a few billion. It’s nothing to the Chasez family,” Hanley said in excitement.
He knew his brother had agreed since he asked this.
“I’ll call Elmer later to ask him to help you,” Hank said.
“Thanks, bro!”
“But you’d better keep a low profile. Recently, everyone in Capital City’s major aristocratic families has been in danger. Don’t mess with people who you don’t know the background of. If you fail to do this, it’s fine if you die but don’t drag the family into this,” Hank warned in the end.
“Don’t worry, bro. I know what I’m doing. This time I am very clear about the details of the other party.”
“That’s good.”
Hanley hung up and was a little excited.
‘Celia, David, just you wait!’
Since his brother had agreed, it meant that this was basically done. After all, dealing with a multi-billion-dollar company was easier said than done. Plus, Celia’s father still had some connections.
However, his brother had begun to slowly take over the affairs of the family. He was considered half the head of the family now and could mobilize most of the family’s power.
As for his father, he was just a rich guy who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun. Now, the head of the Chasez family was still his grandfather, Joseph Chasez.
However, at this moment, he recalled what his brother warned him about in the end.
Chapter 297
Recently, the children from the aristocratic families in Capital City had been a little nervous. There were a lot less gatherings taking place now. Back then, everyone would start racing on the streets at 2 or 3 am, but now, there was no one in sight.
They heard that someone very powerful was here in Capital City.
Zachary from the Quinn family offended him, so now he was dead. However, the Quinn family did not even dare to say anything and they only claimed that Zachary died because of a sudden illness and changed their heir.
‘He only came to Capital City recently?
‘David also recently came to Capital City.
‘Are they the same person?
‘Impossible!
‘Impossible!
Hanley quickly shook his head.
David was just an exchange student from South River University. How would he have the power to kill Zachary and make all the children from aristocratic families in Capital City tremble in fear?
‘Should I look into David?’
When Hanley thought about this, his phone rang in his pocket. It was from Elmer. “Hello, Elmer?”
“Mr. Hanley, Mr. Hank just told me to cooperate with you. What do you need me to do?” Elmer asked.
“Elmer, look into a company named Beautylish Group. They mainly sell makeup. Try to trap them in a broken capital chain, the kind that will make them bankrupt at any second. Right, tell them that it’s the Chasez family who’s doing this and make them come to me to beg for mercy.” “Alright, Mr. Hanley.” It was done!
After Hanley talked to Elmer on the phone, he felt much better.
Celia would come to him soon and by then, he would ask her to remove her clothes one by one and beg him for mercy.
‘Damn you, you horrible b*tch! You wasted three years of my life, so just wait till I get my hands on you!
Right now, Hanley was extremely excited. He was finally going to get the woman who he had been pursuing for three years. Even though he did not want to get her through this process, it was still enough to make him feel pleased.
He had forgotten that he was about to look into David.
In fact, if he just followed David around, he would find out that David was a little out of the ordinary.
A university student who lived in a ten-star hotel every day. Something was obviously not right.
If he continued to dig, he would be able to expose a lot of David’s affairs. If he did this, he would not have made up his mind so hastily. At least, he would ask his brother Hank’s opinion.
Even though everything was arranged, it would take some time to see the effect of his plan. Now, he needed to find out what David and Celia were doing.
If they really went to a hotel, he would find a chance to interrupt them.
He could not allow David to take the first dibs.
After thinking about it, Hanley called his best friend, Ezra.
Ezra’s family had powerful connections with the people in traffic surveillance. So, he should b e able to easily find out where Celia went. After the call got through, Hanley said, “Ezra, find out where Celia and
David went for me. I want to know their exact location right now.” “I knew you’d want to find them. I was about to call you cos I already found them. They went into a villa garden in the west district. I think they’re going back to Celia’s house,” Ezra said.
“You know me the best. Thanks, bud. I’ll look for you when I have time.”
‘Damn! That b*tch Celia took David home?
‘Does this mean that her parents had agreed to them staying together?
‘What the f*ck should I do then?
‘I can’t barge into her house, right?
‘Should I just allow them to be sweet with each other?
‘Impossible!
‘It’s still early. l’ll wait a few hours..
’10 o’clock! If David still doesn’t come out at 10 o’clock, I will think of a way to interrupt them no matter what.
‘No, 10 o’clock is too late. They should be finished with whatever they wanna do by then. 9 o’clock!
“That’s a little late too.
8! ‘Okay, I’ll do it at 8!’
Chapter 298
Celia drove David out of campus and into a quiet villa garden 20 minutes later. The car gradually slowed down, so it meant that they were approaching their destination.
“David, d-don’t be nervous. My parents are actually very nice,” Celia said to David while driving.
David was a little amused. This girl was obviously the nervous one, but in turn, she pretended that he was nervous.
“I’m fine, I’m not nervous,” David replied with a smile.
Why should he be nervous? Wasn’t this just dinner? He was not going to meet his mother-in law.
Hmm?
Mother-in-law?
David turned his head to see Celia’s pretty red face. Even her hand that was holding the steering wheel was shaking. ‘Did this girl tell her parents that I’m her boyfriend?
“Judging from the way she’s behaving, it’s very possible.’ “Um… Celia… Did you tell your parents that I’m your boyfriend?” David asked.
“Ah! H-how did you know?” Celia said nervously.
“You really said that? Didn’t I say to wait for a bit?” David said with a bitter smile.
“B-But my mom insisted on finding a boyfriend for me so I… I could only say that I already had one,” Celia whispered.
The two fell into a brief silence.
“David, you’re not mad, are you?” Celia asked cautiously.
“No, I’m just thinking whether it’s inappropriate to go empty-handed since this is the first time I’m seeing my mother-in-law. Celia, you should have told me in advance, so that I could be prepared.” “No need for that. We don’t lack anything in our house. You just need to show up,” Celia said quickly. Sigh.
David sighed.
This girl was so sheltered that she did not know the ways of the world.
‘Do you think the things at your house are the same as the things I’ll be bringing?’
However, since they were already here, he would just go ahead with it.
Soon, Celia drove the car into a garage next to a villa.
After they got out of the car, they walked to the villa together.
Inside the villa
Jon and Mindy were informed in advance that David was coming over today.
Thus, they were both at home and they already asked the housekeeper at their house to prepare an entire table of delicious food.
Even though Mindy was convinced by Jon and was ready to make David her live-in son-in law, when she thought about the talented daughter whom she raised with so much blood, sweat, and tears being taken away by a poor kid from the countryside, she felt very uncomfortable. However, David did save her daughter so she should at least show some etiquette where necessary.
“Mom, Dad, I’m back!” Celia called out the moment she stepped through the door.
Jon and Mindy turned their heads to look over and they spotted their daughter with a young man walking over from outside.
When they saw David, their eyes lit up.
This boy was not bad!
He looked energetic and he was pretty good-looking too.
He did not look like someone from the countryside at all.
Mindy recalled all the children or grandchildren of the rich people she knew and found that none of them could compare to David if she disregarded their family backgrounds.
Was he really someone from a small county town?
David also walked in and greeted, “Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Young.” “Hello, you must be David,” Jon asked.
“Mr. Young, I’m David. I came here in a hurry today. I came directly from campus, so I didn’t have time to buy gifts. Please don’t blame me for this, I will make up for it next time.”
“You don’t need to! There’s no shortage of everything at home. Plus, you’re a student, so why spend so much money? Come, let’s go eat. We’ve been waiting for you,” Mindy said.
The four of them went to the dining room to sit down to eat.
Celia looked nervous.
However, on the other hand, David was fine. He was a person who had seen all aspects of society and there were probably not many things that could make him nervous anymore.
“David, can you drink? Why don’t you have a drink with me?” Jon asked.
“A drink should be fine,” David replied.
“Celia, go get my bottle of liquor,” Jon said to Celia.
“Okay.”
Celia went to get the liquor, opened it, and poured Jon and David a glass each.
“David, come, I want to propose a toast to you. I want to thank you for saving Celia back then. Otherwise, my wife and I wouldn’t know how to live the rest of our lives,” Jon said to David while lifting his glass. “Mr. Young, you’re being so courteous to me. This is what I should have done. If I wasn’t around, Celia would have been rescued by others too.” The two chatted while drinking leisurely.
After three rounds of drinks, Mindy said something when she figured it was time.
“David, I heard that you are studying at SRU?” Mindy asked.
“Yes, Mrs. Young,” David replied.
“What’s your course?”
“Economic management.”
“That’s alright.”
“How’s your Falconian?”
“B(+3) G V .) “Mindy said something in Falconian, waiting for
David’s response. 1
Since she was in the makeup industry, she would need to work in Falconia a lot. Hence, Falconian was very important to her.
If David did not know Falconian, how would she hand her company to him without worries? Therefore, she was testing David.
Even though David knew Falconian, he was not good enough to be able to converse fluently.
However, he could not drop the ball now.
He quickly added Falconian to his skill column. Thankfully, it was a normal skill, so he could use his lavish points to become an expert in Falconian.
After spending 10 lavish points to become an expert in Falconian, David’s brain started to gain a lot of knowledge regarding the language.
He could also understand what Mindy said just now.
So, he answered, “(****)**** C v .) “1 Mindy, “(l/•/w/://) (*/\*) “.
David, “(> <o) (*10\ *»
The two talked for a while.
Mindy was satisfied. David’s Falconian was not bad, and at the very least, it was not worse than hers. This was enough for her. When he took over her company, he would not have a problem communicating with the clients Capital City. in Falconian. Ollldu.
“David, have you ever thought about coming to work in Capital City after you graduate?” Mindy asked.
“As an international metropolis, there are a lot of opportunities in Capital City, so of course I’ve thought about it,” David answered.
He needed to spend a lot of money to get more lavish points. Hence, he naturally would not give up on an international metropolis like
Chapter 299
They were all very happy with this meal.
This was especially true for Jon and his wife. Jon initially had no objections toward David, but after seeing that David was so excellent, he was naturally very pleased and drank a few more glasses while he was at it.
On the other hand, Mindy’s original opinion about David disappeared as she got to know David.
In addition to his background, David’s appearance, temperament, speech, behavior, and knowledge were much better than those children or grandchildren from rich families she knew.
If David was cultivated and nurtured, he would definitely be able to stand on his own and become an outstanding talent.
After eating, they sat in the living room and chatted.
“David, who else is in your family?” Mindy asked.
She now had absolutely no objection to the relationship between David and her daughter Celia, so she wanted to inquire about David’s family situation.
It would be best if David had an older brother or younger brother so that his family would not stop him from coming to Capital City to be their live-in son-in-law.
However, if David was an only child, this might be a little tricky. “Mrs. Young, my parents passed away unexpectedly when I was ten years old. I have been living with my Aunt Sally and Aunt Diana. To me, they are my family,” David replied.
His parents had passed away?
Mindy and Jon looked at each other and they could see the surprise in each other’s eyes.
David’s parents had passed, so no one would stop him from becoming the Young family’s live in son-in-law. Also, they would be able to eliminate a lot of future troubles.
This was definitely good news for the two of them.
“Sorry for bringing up something that’s upsetting to you,” Mindy said. “It’s okay, Mrs. Young. I was young at that time and I didn’t understand what was going on at all. After so many years, I have long been used to it while my two aunts were also very good to me,” David said indifferently.
His impression of his parents was very blurry now. Even if he mentioned them now, he would not feel much. After all, he was still young at that time, and it had been more than a decade since their passing. “David, since we’re on this topic, let us be honest with you. We don’t object to you dating Celia, but we have a request. After you get married, we hope you can come to live with us in Capital City,” Mindy said.
“What?” David looked confused.
‘Why are we suddenly on the topic of marriage?’ To be honest, he had not thought about it at all.
He had not graduated from college yet.
“What do you mean what? You and Celia have been together since high school. She insisted on staying in Shu City alone and didn’t even follow us when her father was transferred to work at another place in her final year of high school. You’ve already done everything that should be done, right? Haven’t you considered getting married?” Mindy was obviously not satisfied with David’s reaction, and she asked a little unhappily “Mom, what are you talking about?” Celia said, her face turning red.
“Celia, it’s not your turn to speak yet,” Mindy said, glaring at Celia.
David figured that Mindy must have misunderstood something.
He and Celia had not officially started dating yet.
What did she mean by ‘you’ve done everything that should be done?
She was obviously claiming that he lived with Celia but he did not want to take responsibility.
However, he turned to look at Celia and found that the girl was also looking at him with a red face. There was also a pleading look in her eyes.
Chapter 300
Alright, he would be the bad guy then.
However, what about Celia going to school alone in Shu City in her final year of high school? Did she also not leave with her father when he was transferred away?
Did she do that for him?
He had no idea about this!
One had to know that after starting dating Sarah during the last year of high school, he slowly distanced himself from Celia.
It was because Sarah was very jealous and did not allow him to get too close to Celia. That was why he did not know much about Celia. Sigh, it seemed that he was blind back then. How could he fall for Sarah and neglect Celia?
He was not completely blind.
He could only blame himself for having very low self-esteem back then. “Uh… Actually… Actually, we’ve considered it, but we haven’t graduated from university yet, s o I feel like it’s a little early to talk about this,” David replied.
“Early? You’re in your third year and you will graduate in a year. After graduation, you can already get married. When the time comes, you both should join my company and I will coach you for two years. Then, I will slowly hand over the company to you so I can retire. Then, you can give birth to a child for me to take care of so I can put my remaining talent to good use,” Mindy said.
“Mom, what are you talking about?”
“I told you to shut up. Didn’t I say exactly what you have in mind?” David had seen the power of Celia’s mother, a typical domineering businesswoman. He glanced at Jon, who was already used to it, and then glanced at Celia again. The mother and daughter had very different personalities, and fortunately, Celia did not take after her mother. Now, he did not even have time to manage his own company worth hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars, so how would he have the time to manage other companies?
Before David could reply, Mindy said again, “David, to be honest, we were initially opposed to you dating Celia. Although our family is not wealthy, we managed to have some small achievements after Celia’s father and I worked hard. Besides this, we also learned a little about your family situation through Celia but thought you were not worthy of Celia.” David agreed with this.
In the past, it was because of his low self-esteem that he felt that he was not worthy of Celia, s o he chose to ignore Celia’s kindness toward him, and finally chose Sarah who he was more similar in position to. In the end, he did not expect Sarah to also look down on him. On the contrary, Celia’s feelings for him had never changed at all until now. Mindy continued, “We introduced Celia to the best men among the children of aristocratic families, but Celia was not interested in them, so it could not be helped, she only had her eyes on you. We only have one daughter so we can’t force her to marry someone she doesn’t like and make her hate us forever, right? So, I hope you will treat Celia well in the future and not let her suffer any grievances.” “I will, Mrs. Young,” David said solemnly to Mindy.
Then, they talked a lot more after that.
However, Mindy was the one doing most of the talking while the other three listened.
Occasionally, David would be able to say something while Jon and Celia never managed to chime in.
Since it was almost time, David was about to leave.
“Mr. and Mrs. Young, sorry for disturbing you today. Thank you for your hospitality. I’ll come to visit you next time when I have time.
Goodbye,” David said after standing up.
“You’re welcome, David. We’ll be a family soon. Celia, go walk David out,” Jon said.
“Alright, Dad.”
After Celia said that, she left with David.
