Chapter 10: The Scoundrel Is Not Happy

Screw that!

"Shut up."

Herbert Leopold walked straight towards Juliet Shaw's booth. He was determined to see if Juliet Shaw really didn't want to live anymore, daring to put a green hat on him!

Feng Beiyue, seeing this, stepped in front of Herbert Leopold.

He couldn't just stand by and watch his brother cause a scene.

Although Juliet Shaw's actions were somewhat inappropriate, she was also forced into a corner.

Anyone would be tired of being with an unromantic block of wood every day.

Since Herbert Leopold didn't understand romance, there were others who would cherish her.

The four men, tall and imposing, each exuding a formidable aura, stood by Juliet Shaw's booth, instantly adding a sense of pressure.

The bespectacled man, who had his back to Herbert Leopold, turned around.

Wow, four handsome men!

This Jiang City is great; even the male models here are of higher quality than elsewhere.

Juliet Shaw kept the wine bottle close to her lips. With her low alcohol tolerance, she was already a bit tipsy.

The bespectacled man smiled and asked, "Excuse me, are you gentlemen male escorts?"

"..."

"..."

Herbert Leopold's face looked like a painting. If it weren't illegal, he would make the bespectacled man swallow a thousand needles.

"Huh? Who's here? Such tall guys, let me see their faces," Natalie Charlotte, also a bit drunk, giggled as she looked over.

When she saw Herbert Leopold's face, her smile froze.

She instantly sobered up and quickly pulled at Juliet Shaw.

"Natalie, what's wrong?"

Natalie Charlotte lowered her head and pointed at Herbert Leopold. Juliet Shaw followed her gaze.

Juliet Shaw was sitting in a spot that was slightly backlit, and the dim lighting in the bar, combined with the tall figures of Herbert Leopold and his friends, blocked the light from behind, making it hard for her to see clearly.

"Who is it? Are they the male models we ordered?"

Juliet Shaw and Natalie Charlotte had been classmates since middle school and had been close friends for over a decade, so sometimes they spoke as one, using "we" instead of "you."

In the darkness, Herbert Leopold's lips curled up slightly, revealing a sinister smile on his cold face.

So this was his highly praised, virtuous wife, the conservative lady, secretly ordering male models behind his back.

Was it because he hadn't satisfied her enough, leaving her unsatisfied?

Alvin Boswell stepped forward, "Natalie, Qingzhi is having dinner with her friends."

Natalie Charlotte quickly stood up and said, "Hello, Assistant Lin."

As everyone waited for Natalie Charlotte to introduce them, Herbert Leopold swept in like a whirlwind and sat right next to Juliet Shaw.

The shorter man hurriedly moved to the side.

It was only when she smelled the familiar, cool mint scent that Juliet Shaw recognized Herbert Leopold.

Herbert Leopold crossed his legs and leaned arrogantly against the sofa.

Juliet Shaw's beautiful round eyes widened, staring at Herbert Leopold in shock.

What was he doing here?

How annoying.

These people were Natalie Charlotte's clients, small clients of the Lu Group. If they knew the visitor was the president of the Lu Group, how could they enjoy their drinks freely?

Oh, right, Natalie Charlotte was still the administrative manager of the Lu Group. In her previous life, Herbert Leopold had fired her because of her.

"Qingzhi, long time no see," Feng Beiyue greeted Juliet Shaw and found a seat.

"Qingzhi, do you remember me? Qi Silie."

Juliet Shaw stared at them in a daze. Herbert Leopold's brothers, like him, were not at all shy.

They sat down casually, completely disregarding whether others were comfortable with it.

"Let me introduce everyone. This is our CEO's assistant, Mr. Alvin Boswell. This is Mr. Feng Beiyue, the CEO of the Feng Group and Redwood Capital. And this is the famous young master of the Qi family in Jiang City, Qi Silie."

As for Herbert Leopold...

Natalie Charlotte glanced at him and was immediately intimidated by his stern expression.

Forget it, no need for introductions. If he lost his temper, it wouldn't sound good.

The president of the Lu Group getting jealous and causing a scene in a bar?

How embarrassing.

Herbert Leopold snorted coldly at Natalie Charlotte's omission.

Just like Juliet Shaw, she was always there to add to his troubles.

"Assistant Lin, hello, hello. We are..."

The bespectacled man, hearing that the person in front of him was the famous Assistant Lin, immediately perked up.

They were just small clients, but the Lu Group was giving them such face, even sending Assistant Lin to visit them.

And as for Feng Beiyue and Qi Silie, they were big shots you could only read about in financial and gossip sections of newspapers.

The bespectacled man looked at Natalie Charlotte with gratitude.

What a face-saver!

Natalie Charlotte nervously touched her nose.

She started to reflect. It must have been her social media posts that caused this. Herbert Leopold, with his "I'd rather betray the world than let the world betray me" attitude, was clearly here to catch them in the act!

Thankfully, her sister hadn't done anything. Otherwise, they would be in the wrong, and this dog of a man would bully them again.

Alvin Boswell chatted with them, while Juliet Shaw and Herbert Leopold glared at each other, neither speaking.

"Everyone, don't be so formal. Since we're here to relax, let's be at ease," Qi Silie snapped his fingers, and a waiter quickly came over.

"Master Qi."

"Bring the wine I have stored here."

"Yes, Master Qi, please wait a moment."

After the waiter left, Qi Silie smiled at everyone, "Tonight's on me. Enjoy yourselves."

"Thank you, Master Qi."

Among the four, there were three women, all dazzled by the four men's looks.

Feng Beiyue wore a plaid shirt with the top three buttons undone, his hair slicked back, and his face as handsome as Takeshi Kaneshiro, with deep, seductive eyes that could make anyone swoon.

Alvin Boswell exuded a reserved, elegant demeanor, high status, but spoke with perfect etiquette, no airs at all. His fair skin and clear eyes made him look like a handsome character straight out of a manga.

Qi Silie, though always smiling without a care, managed to make a simple white T-shirt look full of swagger. His refined features and overall appearance suggested he was no ordinary person. He was nothing like the playboy described online; he was more like a movie star.

Actually, the most captivating was the man who had come and sat in the corner.

Dressed in a neat suit, he hadn't said a word, but just sitting there, he exuded an air of untouchable nobility.

Even though Natalie Charlotte hadn't introduced him, they could guess that someone who came with Assistant Lin and sat with such an imposing presence was no ordinary person.

But the handsome man seemed preoccupied, sitting there silently, his gaze intense as if he wanted to devour someone.

At that moment, the waiter returned with two groups of people, wearing white gloves and carrying Qi Silie's stored wine.

Natalie Charlotte swallowed. This young master Qi was really generous, bringing ten bottles of wine that cost five figures each.

She couldn't help but look at Juliet Shaw. Her sister really had clout, otherwise, how could she get to drink such fine wine?

The bespectacled man and the other three women were also impressed. They had been to many bars, but this was their first time seeing such a display.

People in other booths couldn't help but cast curious glances, wondering why a regular booth was drinking the most expensive wine in the place.

The waiter arranged the bottles.

"Master Qi, the wine is ready."

Qi Silie took out a stack of hundred-dollar bills from his pocket and handed them to the waiter.

The waiter accepted it gracefully, bowing, "Thank you, Master Qi."

The bespectacled man and the others now understood that in high society, tipping was expected.

That tip alone was at least two thousand dollars.

The bespectacled man looked at Juliet Shaw, who was pouting, and the tall man beside her, who was staring at her intently.

The bespectacled man sighed inwardly. He had overestimated himself. A woman as outstanding as Juliet Shaw, even if she had admirers, would attract the best of the best.

Jiang City was a place full of hidden talents. Thankfully, he hadn't lost his composure, or he would have been in a difficult position.

Thinking this, the bespectacled man felt relieved.
