LOGINSince my favorite basketball player is hosting a meet-and-greet, I've ordered a VIP seat that comes with the benefit of interacting with the player in advance. When the time comes, I follow a staff member to my designated seat. I'm about to sit down when a man walks over and takes my seat instead. "This is where I can watch the meet-and-greet the best. I shall have this seat, then." I just stare at the man, completely speechless. "Sir, this is my seat. Please get off the chair." What I don't expect is for him to dig out a stack of cash before hurling it at me. "A peasant like you has no right to meet basketball stars! I'm buying this seat from you right now! Take the money and scram!" Seeing that I refuse to leave, the man continues haughtily, "I'm Wilbur Collins, the assistant of Jade Pearson, CEO of Pearson Group! Everyone in this city knows who the Pearsons are! Are you trying to push your luck here?" Jade Pearson? Isn't that the fiancee who my dad has betrothed to me? I pull out my phone and call her right away. "Hey, your assistant has snatched my seat from me in a basketball star's meet-and-greet session like the hooligan he is. You'd better give me a good explanation for this!"
View MoreJeffrey, Jade, and Wilbur all looked at me in utter bewilderment.I set down my mug and chuckled."Wilbur is Jade's boyfriend. They're deeply in love with each other. Why won't you just give them your blessings, Jeffrey?"Jefrrey was shocked. "But… But Jade is engaged to you, Mr. Bradford!""Do I look like some sort of lowly pushover to you, Jeffrey Pearson? Did you really think that I would still marry her after what happened?"He hurriedly shook his head. "No, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say that, Mr. Bradford. Please don't hold it against me. This wench certainly doesn't deserve you at all!""Since the engagement is now off, that also means that all of the resources that the Bradfords have given to the Persons must also be withdrawn."Jeffrey tried to say something to salvage the situation, but I didn't want them to continue ruining my mood any further. I just waved my hand dismissively at them and said, "Alright, let's just leave it at that. I will be expecting to hear of Ja
Jade glared at me and said viciously, "This bastard had us locked up and beaten black and blue! And they only fed us once a day! You have to teach them a lesson, Dad! You have to avenge me!"I smirked at her and shook my head. "You've always been smart and willful, Jeffrey. How could you possibly have had such a stupid daughter like her?"She simply didn't know how to read the room. She hadn't even noticed the dark expression on Jeffrey's face.Jeffrey raised his hand and slapped her. "You wretch! How are you still spouting nonsense even now! Apologize to Mr. Bradford at once!"Jade was both angry and aggrieved after the slap. "Are you crazy, Dad? I suffered so much at the hands of this bastard, and instead of avenging me, you hit me?"Jeffrey had never wanted to strangle Jade so much when he heard her still spitting nonsense in my face. He kicked her in the back of her knees and forced her down before me.Yet, Jade immediately exploded like a cat whose tail had just been stepped
Dad stared at my face and trembled in rage."This is outrageous! How dare anyone treat my precious son like this! I'm going to kill every last one of them today!"I hurriedly grabbed Dad's wrist and said, "I'm fine, Dad. Don't do anything rash—"He looked at me, his eyes full of pain. "How can you say you're fine with such a long and scraggly wound on your face? It's my fault. I failed to protect you… How am I supposed to face your mom in the afterlife? I promised her that I would never let anyone hurt you…"Back in the days when Dad was still involved in the underworld, he'd done plenty of shady things, and Jeffrey was just one of his henchmen then.However, Dad fell in love with Mom at first sight and decided to leave that life behind, becoming loyal only to her afterward.Still, he'd made too many enemies in the past, and there were too many people after Dad's life. Since they couldn't kill him, they then turned their attention to Mom instead.Even though Dad sent many bodygu
The bodyguard swiftly grabbed Wilbur's jaw and yanked hard, dislocating it with a gut-twisting crack. Wilbur couldn't speak anymore, save for a few moans and groans.Jade flew into a rage and immediately began cursing at me. "Asutin Bradford, you fucking jerk! I swear I'm going to tear your—"I raised my hand and slapped her across the face."What are you yelling for? It's me who will never let you get away with any of this!"Jade was slapped so hard that it left her dazed for a couple of seconds before reacting belatedly, staring at me in complete disbelief."You actually dared to slap me? I am the heiress of Pearson Group!"Drew said, "You injured Mr. Bradford. Even Mr. Pearson wouldn't get away with that, let alone a mere heiress like you.""Stop talking nonsense! There's no family in Brandington that my family is afraid of! You're all going to be dead once I call my dad!""Sure," I said coldly. "Let's see what you plan to do to me. Give her phone to her, Drew."Jade immedi
