Quinna and Javier’s dinner after leaving the airport changed from a romantic couple’s meal to accommodate a third wheel. Still, the dinner was nothing short of intriguing, as Lay’s self-driving programming idea was ingenious.Javier was more or less an amateur at these things, but Quinna was an actual expert. After all, automobile engineering was related to what she had majored in at university. Spending a decade in Heisenberg Group had reasonably made her one of the biggest experts there was, and no one would dare doubt her professional judgment. Anything she deemed worthy automatically cleared the bar—be it the hydrogen power system of the Chinean or Lay’s algorithms.It was why she started a bidding war against Javier.“Listen to me, Lay. If you join Heisenberg, this thing between you and me might still have a chance, okay? If you dare join Reivaj, though, darling, we’re gonna be an impossibility real soon!” she announced.Javier almost spat out. “Lady, is this the level you’d s

Eddie was shocked. He had wholeheartedly believed that Javier would be threatened, only for the latter to say that. He did not want to die. He just wanted money.“No, Mr. Kersey, you misunderstood me. I meant to let bygones be bygones, okay?”Let bygones be bygones, huh? That meant he was not going to return Javier the 80,000 dollars, and the latter would not have to worry about his photo being leaked. Whatever there was between them had been settled.Was it possible? Javier did not think so. He lit a cigarette and told Eddie, “I gave you 80,000 dollars before this because I didn’t want to make a fuss over this.“But you sent me another letter now, which means that you’re greedy and you aren’t satisfied.“What’s the matter? You think you have to be scared of me because I’m the chairman of Reivaj Group?“If that’s what you think, I can only tell you that you’re thinking too f*cking much.”Javier snapped his fingers and told Running Man, “Make it look like a gas poisoning. I’ll ar

Quinna received a call from her elder brother, who said that he had no idea about her sister-in-law going to meet her and that he had divorced the woman. He was also getting ready to open up a hotel and hoped to receive Quinna’s support when the time was right.Quinna was honestly all for it. After all, the restaurant did not matter when she met up with clients. As long as her elder brother’s hotel provided good service, there would be no problem. She did not understand why the husband and wife had gotten a divorce so suddenly.Despite her confusion, she recalled her sister-in-law’s arrogance when she had underestimated others and thought that the divorce seemed right. At least her sister-in-law would stop goading her elder brother into things after that.As she felt pleased, a smile made the corners of Quinna’s lips tug up. She knew that Javier must be behind this. She wanted to confirm it personally, only for him to gobble her up once again…After the flight landed, Javier went i

When the girls left the warehouse and walked along the road, it took them some time before they finally came across a cab.After sending Genevieve back to the campus, Fiona told her, “I’ll come meet you at night. We’ll be each other’s pillar of support…”She sounded caring, but Fiona scowled the moment the cab door closed.Best friends? F*ck her. All Fiona cared about was herself. Genevieve could die if she wanted to.Genevieve apparently thought the same way. Since it was still early, she cleaned herself up and waited at the campus gate. She had even gone to buy some baked goods as she waited for Harley.She had thought it through. When Harley came, she would apologize to him properly and ask him to ask Javier for a favor. She believed that a fool like Harley would buy any lie she made up.After about half an hour, Genevieve managed to see Harley. She hurried over and passed the baked goods to him. “Dear, I bought you breakfast. You…”Before she could finish her sweet message,

Javier got into his Mercedes-Benz G500 after leaving Freddy’s place and drove on the road merrily. His car had been wrecked by Freddy previously, and he needed a vehicle to move around, so this G500 was selected.While he was driving, he pulled some strings and called to get relevant personnel to take care of what had happened today. After all, a shooting was not something petty, so it needed to be handled thoroughly.There was nothing special about it to Javier, though. He did not have to be magnanimous when this man wanted his life. Later in the afternoon, Javier went back to the company. Just as he went up the building, Herschel called him.“There’s been an explosion caused by a gas leak, but Freddy Russo’s wife wasn’t killed.“Don’t worry, boss. I’ll handle her properly. She won’t get a chance to talk.”It was Herschel’s business how he wanted to play this game. After all, he had not had enough fun. Javier did not care. He only had one warning for Herschel—“Don’t cause me tr
