Even if the back of his collar was being tugged, the stubborn Howard did not plan to comply.However, John was from the special forces. Since he decided to take action, he would not let a 12-year-old boy out of his grip.He twisted his hand and the frail pre-teen was forced against his car door. After that move, the sound of sucking in the air simultaneously could be heard around him.“Wow! What did I just see? Isn’t that Mr. Snowden?”“So that handsome guy’s Mr. Snowden?”“My gosh! What is this? Could this be the plot of an overbearing president falling in love with a male student?”“Gosh! This is so gay! I love it.”“Ah! If it’s Mr. Snowden, we’ll forgive him. They’re so handsome. They’re so pleasant to the eyes when they stand together. We’re okay with this.”“Mr. Snowden, we support you. Please be happy!”Howard, “...”The hell did they mean by happy?This was the first time he was being mistaken like this. They were mistaking him being with a man. Howard’s face was red
When he said that he would bring his brother-in-law to identify the people, John did not plan to dilly-dally. When he stepped into the house, he asked the butler to call all of the servants in the house to assemble in one line to let Howard identify.Since they were the people that hurt his sister, Howard did not let anyone off the hook. He lifted his finger and started pointing. “Her, her, her, and her.”After seeing the three old women that had been called out, John’s cold gaze was filled with disdain. “Butler, give them their salary for this month. You don’t need to come back tomorrow.”When they heard this, the three old women fell to their knees. One of the women whose mouth was sticking out and had a chin like an ape's pleaded while sobbing. “Master, we only did that because of madam’s orders. Please don’t kick us out!”“You’re just following madam’s orders?”His tone was cold and it sounded merciless. However, he threw a curveball and said, “Hm. If that’s the case, I can’
A person like John was offering to buy porridge for someone else?Looking at John as if he had schizophrenia, Natalie turned around and looked at her brother. “Did something happen?”“Sis…”He wanted to tell her but stopped himself in time. Eventually though, Howard told everything that happened in the Winters’ family house to his sister.When he finished his story, he rubbed his hands awkwardly. “That’s what happened.”“Okay.”“Sis, are you mad?”“No, I’m just shocked.”There was a light smile on Natalie’s face. She looked at her brother. “You changed your mind on him so fast.”“Sis, I’m on your side.”Natalie waved her hand to interrupt her brother. “I hope that you can get along with him in these three months. After all, it’s best not to offend the Winters.”“Sis, you really hate him, don’t you?”“Yeah.”She did not could deny this, nor did she want to.She hated John and it was not only because of what he did to her. It was also because of the secret eight years ago.
She held it up and asked in confusion, “What is this?”John was not the gentlest man out there, and he did not have much patience to explain to her. He replied impatiently, “Change your clothes and wear it.”“Isn’t this a bit too much wearing this to your house? I have my clothes…"Without waiting for her to finish, he impatiently interrupted her again, “I’m asking you to change into that.”Natalie, “...”She felt that something was wrong, but whatever, it did not matter if it were a gown or a pretty dress that could be passed off as a gown because, at the end of the day, his satisfaction was what mattered the most.She did not have the right to say anything, so the only thing she could do was change into the gown.The naive Natalie thought that he had a weird fetish of asking her to dress in something pretty to go to his house. She did not expect him to take her to the Winters’ family house.Natalie put up a fight as soon as she got out of the car. “Didn’t we say that we’ll go
Natalie and John had entered the house separately, and Natalie found a quiet corner to sit at in the house.She had planned to be low profile and just let the night end peacefully. She never expected a group of flamboyant ladies walking over to her after she just sat down.Her first reaction was that she was in trouble. She pretended to not see them and got up. When she was about to leave, Janine called out, “Number one beauty! Long time no see!”Number one beauty!She had not heard this name in a long while. Natalie had even forgotten about this and yet, there were still people who remembered.In fact, there were still people who would call her this.If they were just greeting her, it was not necessary for them to call her that, right? So, was this an incoming threat?Natalie had been through so much that she had tried her best to remain low profile. She would not cause trouble, would not look for trouble, and would not ask for trouble…However, trouble was a peculiar thing. T
Janine felt like she had been slapped across the face. Her face fell and she was stomping her feet while screaming furiously, “Do you guys still have a standpoint?”“If you have a standpoint, then you should go intern under Director Quinton. He’s your cup of tea anyway, so it’s right up your alley.”They were all classmates and their relationship with each other was good. However, there were disagreements at this moment. While facing the provocation of so many people, Janine’s face was red from anger. “Fine! I’ll intern under him. Do you think I’m scared?”Janine glared at Natalie. Natalie commented with an elegant demeanor, “What imposing attitude! I have high hopes for you!”Natalie grinned and looked at the wine glasses on the hands of the others. She reminded, “Director Quinton has a lung transplant surgery tomorrow at 10 in the morning. If you want to observe that, don’t drink too much alcohol tonight. You won’t be allowed to go in.”This was an obvious reminder. The women wh
Jessica was hot-tempered. She had never experienced any hardship in life so naturally, she was not as scheming as Janine.Janine wanted her to get angry after listening to her. She struck the iron while it was hot and continued to provoke her, “I’m afraid of this! That’s why I came to tell you, also… Ah! See, Master Luke is already talking to her.”“What? Where?”“There.”Janine pointed with her finger. “She’s the woman in the royal purple dress.”Jessica looked over to where Janine was pointing and sure enough, Luke was walking toward a very beautiful woman.Jessica knew Natalie. After all, she had purposely snatched Luke from her hands. However, they did not see each other for eight years and when they met each other again, not only Natalie did not become ugly, but she had become even more beautiful.Comparing Natalie to herself, Jessica gritted her teeth and fisted her hands. “That b*tch…”She lifted up her gown’s skirt and charged over.…When he was coming downstairs, Lu
It looked like Natalie was scolding someone else, but in reality, she was scolding Luke without a hint of hesitation on her face.Naturally, Jessica could see this. She was cross again. “How can you say this? Luke didn’t say anything. Why are you calling him an animal?”Trouble was all coming to her one by one. Natalie’s suppressed anger was slowly rising. “Did I mention his name?”“Um…”Jessica did not have anything to say to that. Natalie continued, “However, it seems like you’re aware of who he is. Was that why you substitute him into that description automatically?”“Natalie, don’t be so unduly rude.”Unduly rude?Natalie glared at her coldly and said sarcastically, “Oh? DIdn’t you call me Sis Snowden just now? Why are you not calling me that now?”“Pffft! Do you even think that you’re qualified for me to call you that?”Natalie smacked her lips and laughed, “I’m sorry, I might be.”She was already a head-turner, so even when she was laughing coldly like this, she still h
