00:00:00 "Episode 121.
00:00:05 You are not convinced?"
00:00:07 Seeing Paolo's slightly angry expression, Jessica suddenly felt like her head was full
00:00:12 of fog.
00:00:14 She wasn't wrong.
00:00:15 Although she thought this way, she didn't dare say it out loud.
00:00:19 After all, Paolo didn't even give Chad a face.
00:00:23 There was no way that she could.
00:00:25 Jess quickly explained, "Mr. Paolo, that's not what I meant!"
00:00:28 "I don't care what you mean," he waved his hand and interrupted her.
00:00:33 "Anyway, this man has already settled the account.
00:00:36 Even if there is a problem, I will take full responsibility.
00:00:39 You don't have to worry about it."
00:00:41 Jess was instantly speechless.
00:00:44 Since he had already said so, what else could she say?
00:00:47 "Jessica, my husband has already finished paying the bill.
00:00:51 It's about time for you to fulfill your promise, right?"
00:00:55 Claire looked coldly at her.
00:00:58 Her face turned red.
00:01:00 How could she call Kevin her daddy in front of many people?
00:01:04 She didn't know how to swallow her pride, but she would have to learn quickly.
00:01:08 Otherwise, it would only make others look down on her even more.
00:01:13 "Daddy!" she gritted her teeth and shouted at Kevin.
00:01:17 He smiled and did not respond.
00:01:20 To him, asking this of Jessica was just a little pastime when he was bored.
00:01:24 "Are you satisfied now?"
00:01:26 She turned around and stared coldly at Claire as she spoke.
00:01:30 She replied lazily, "I'm satisfied."
00:01:33 "Claire, don't be too complacent.
00:01:37 Don't think that I don't know that your husband's $80,000 are all your two brothers' savings.
00:01:44 Your husband has been acting cool today, but just wait for the two of you to eat the dirt."
00:01:49 Jessica sneered.
00:01:51 She didn't believe that Kevin could be at the level of rich where nearly a million dollars
00:01:55 was dispensable.
00:01:57 He might look calm on the surface, but his heart might be pounding.
00:02:01 "Claire, we all know that you want to prove to us that your husband isn't trash.
00:02:07 But you don't need to use this kind of method.
00:02:09 You don't need to make your husband spend all this money to show off.
00:02:14 Don't you feel guilty?"
00:02:15 "That's right.
00:02:16 You also don't understand your husband.
00:02:19 After all, he's just a take-out delivery boy.
00:02:22 $80,000?
00:02:23 He worked hard for ten years, and now he would have to save for ten years again?
00:02:28 He squandered everything in one meal."
00:02:31 Claire almost burst into laughter.
00:02:33 "Why did these people think that Kevin was only a take-out delivery boy, who could treat
00:02:37 $1,800 without batting an eyelid?"
00:02:40 "You're overthinking it.
00:02:43 Letting my husband treat you is not to prove anything to you.
00:02:46 My husband also doesn't need to prove himself to anyone."
00:02:50 She was too lazy to explain anything to these people, since these people would never believe
00:02:55 her no matter what she said.
00:02:58 The only thing they were willing to believe in was that their own lives had been very
00:03:02 miserable.
00:03:04 Their own husband was very useless.
00:03:06 "If your husband wasn't trash, why would you be someone else's mistress?"
00:03:11 At this moment, Jessica curled her lips in disdain.
00:03:14 "A mistress?
00:03:16 When did this happen?"
00:03:18 Claire was momentarily struck dumb.
00:03:20 "Still pretending?
00:03:22 Claire, don't think that we don't know about this.
00:03:25 You went and became a mistress.
00:03:27 That's why you were in the hospital.
00:03:29 You got caught and slapped in the street by someone else."
00:03:33 She sneered again and again.
00:03:35 Originally, she didn't want to say it, but the couple had just made her look so bad,
00:03:40 so she had to return the favor.
00:03:42 "Jessica, what nonsense are you spouting?
00:03:46 When did I become a mistress?"
00:03:48 Her face turned pale.
00:03:50 She finally understood why Jess and the others were looking at her like that when they first
00:03:55 met her.
00:03:56 "I'm spouting nonsense," she snickered and said.
00:03:59 "Claire, do you dare to say you weren't slapped in the street?"
00:04:03 Her tone froze.
00:04:04 She had been slapped on the face, but what did it do with being a mistress?
00:04:09 Seeing that she remained silent, Jessica felt even more pleased with herself.
00:04:14 She mocked, "Claire, Amy told me everything.
00:04:17 I really didn't expect you to be this kind of person."
00:04:20 "Amy?"
00:04:23 Claire shifted her gaze to Amy, who was standing at the side.
00:04:27 At this moment, she would be too stupid if she didn't know that it was her who had created
00:04:32 the rumor.
00:04:33 Seeing that Claire was looking at her, she not only didn't show any guilt or embarrassment,
00:04:38 but instead said with a cold face, "Claire, I was the one who said you were going to be
00:04:43 slapped, but I didn't say anything about you going to be someone else's mistress."
00:04:48 She wanted to imply that Jessica and the other woman had come up with the details.
00:04:53 "Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"
00:04:56 Claire gritted her teeth.
00:04:58 She had only told her the truth because she treated her as a friend.
00:05:01 However, she hadn't expected her to sell her out in the blink of an eye.
00:05:06 "Believe it or not," Amy's mouth twitched, "she didn't care about her opinion at all."
00:05:12 "Claire, you have already done such shameless things.
00:05:16 How can you not allow others to say them?"
00:05:19 Jessica snickered.
00:05:20 In truth, she understood that Amy's words had many suspicious points.
00:05:24 However, she didn't want to bother with them.
00:05:27 She was more inclined to believe that Claire had truly cheated.
00:05:31 "Who are you calling shameless?"
00:05:34 At this moment, Kevin spoke coldly.
00:05:36 Originally, he didn't want to argue with many women, but the more Jessica spoke, the more
00:05:42 excessive her words became.
00:05:44 Facing Kevin's icy gaze, Jessica's heart shuddered.
00:05:47 How could this piece of trash have such a terrifying gaze?
00:05:52 However, although she was afraid, she did not admit defeat in front of so many people.
00:05:58 "What?
00:05:59 Am I wrong?
00:06:00 You piece of trash!
00:06:02 Your wife brought embarrassment to your whole family!"
00:06:05 He raised his hand and slapped her face, pushing the rest of her words back into her mouth.
00:06:11 This sudden scene caused everyone in the hall to be stunned.
00:06:16 This trash actually dared to hit someone?
00:06:19 "I'll fight it out with you!"
00:06:21 Jess was stunned for three seconds after being hit.
00:06:24 Then, she pounced on him while screaming.
00:06:28 Kevin sneered and directly kicked her to the ground.
00:06:31 There was no rule for him to not beat up women.
00:06:34 Although he only used less than 1% of his strength, it was still enough to make her
00:06:39 choke, and she curled up on the ground while holding her stomach.
00:06:43 "You... a man?
00:06:45 Did you even hit a woman?"
00:06:47 No matter what, Jessica was still his spokesperson.
00:06:51 To beat up a woman in front of so many people was just a matter of reputation for him.
00:06:56 "You're not convinced?"
00:06:58 Kevin's ice-cold gaze suddenly shifted to Chad.
00:07:02 He suddenly choked and felt a chill on his back.
00:07:11 --------------------------------
00:07:12 EPISODE 122.
00:07:13 Attitude Changeover
00:07:14 "This isn't a question of whether she's willing to submit or not.
00:07:20 No matter what, Jessica is a woman."
00:07:23 Chad braced himself and explained.
00:07:25 "A woman?"
00:07:27 Kevin sneered.
00:07:28 "So a woman can't cause trouble?"
00:07:30 Chad choked.
00:07:31 He also felt that Jessica and the other women were trying to get into Claire's head.
00:07:37 After all, she was the girl that all of the boys chased while in school.
00:07:41 If Claire wanted to be a mistress, she would have found a man for herself long ago.
00:07:45 "And you, Amy.
00:07:47 In the future, it's best if you learn to think before you speak, or else you will get yourself
00:07:52 killed if you keep running your mouth."
00:07:55 Kevin looked coldly at her.
00:07:57 It was not hard to tell that she was the culprit behind all of this with his keen eyesight.
00:08:03 On the surface, this woman had convinced everyone that she was one of Claire's greatest friends.
00:08:09 In reality, she was waiting for the chance to stab her in the back.
00:08:13 "Are you threatening me?"
00:08:15 Amy's face turned ugly.
00:08:17 How could she let a delivery boy talk to her this way?
00:08:21 "Threatening?
00:08:22 You're not worthy of a threat."
00:08:25 Kevin smiled disdainfully.
00:08:27 Once Amy got worked up, she wouldn't be much of an opponent.
00:08:31 It would be easy for him to trick her into messing herself up.
00:08:35 Everyone looked at each other.
00:08:36 Kevin's words were arrogant.
00:08:37 No matter what Amy said, she still had the upper hand.
00:08:42 Now, she was hugging Chad's thigh.
00:08:44 He would certainly stand up for her in the case of a fight.
00:08:48 Where did Kevin get his confidence from?
00:08:51 Only she knew that she couldn't do anything with Kevin right now.
00:08:54 She was not the personal owner of the coal mines, and she and Chad were hooking up.
00:09:00 There was a slim chance that she would help her in the case of her and Kevin fighting.
00:09:05 At this moment, Chad's phone rang.
00:09:08 After seeing the caller ID, his expression changed.
00:09:11 Why were they calling?
00:09:13 Although he was surprised, he still pressed the answer button.
00:09:17 "Miss McKenzie, how come you have the time to call me?"
00:09:22 Seeing his respectful attitude, everyone was surprised.
00:09:25 Who was this "Miss McKenzie?"
00:09:28 Chad seemed to be afraid.
00:09:30 "Chad, is Claire at your place?"
00:09:33 McKenzie's attitude was very arrogant, so she did not directly answer his question.
00:09:38 Chad looked at Claire and whispered, "Yes, Miss McKenzie.
00:09:42 Claire is with me."
00:09:43 "Bring her to the Willingham building," she said in a commanding tone.
00:09:48 Then she hung up the phone without waiting for Chad to say anything in return.
00:09:52 He frowned.
00:09:53 "How did McKenzie know Claire was here?
00:09:56 Who leaked the news?"
00:09:58 "Chad, who is it?"
00:10:01 Amy asked casually.
00:10:02 "McKenzie Etheridge," he forced a smile.
00:10:06 "McKenzie Etheridge?
00:10:07 That woman from the economics department?
00:10:10 Why the fuck is she calling you?"
00:10:12 Upon hearing that it was McKenzie, everyone burst into an uproar.
00:10:17 Kevin frowned.
00:10:18 Who was this McKenzie woman exactly?
00:10:21 She seemed to be very famous.
00:10:23 He couldn't help but take a glance at Claire.
00:10:26 He wanted to know if she understood what he meant, but her pretty face had already turned
00:10:31 pale.
00:10:32 "Honey, what's the matter?"
00:10:34 She seemed to be a little afraid of McKenzie.
00:10:37 "No, nothing," Claire shook her head and forced a smile.
00:10:42 Kevin became even more confused.
00:10:45 Something must have happened between them or else she wouldn't be acting so strange.
00:10:50 "Claire, why is she looking for you?"
00:10:53 Amy asked curiously.
00:10:56 McKenzie wasn't in the same class as them when they were in college, but she was one
00:11:00 of the most beautiful economics majors there.
00:11:03 Her reputation back then had even surpassed Claire's, saying a lot.
00:11:08 Of course, her limelight didn't surpass Claire's because she was prettier than her, but because
00:11:13 her family had a ton of money.
00:11:15 There was no way that she could be more beautiful than Claire, but her money could buy her anything
00:11:21 she wanted, so it made her quite popular.
00:11:24 In those days, McKenzie always had an inexplicable relationship with the richest boys in the
00:11:30 school.
00:11:31 It would be said that she was a gold digger, but everyone ignored her and didn't ridicule
00:11:36 her too much.
00:11:37 "McKenzie is at the Willingham Manor.
00:11:40 She asked us if we wanted to go over to see her."
00:11:43 He didn't dare say that McKenzie requested her to go there alone.
00:11:47 He knew that if he told her, then she would not go at all.
00:11:51 Claire only was scared of one person during their time at school, and it was McKenzie.
00:11:57 If he told Claire that McKenzie wanted to talk to her, she would run away.
00:12:01 "She's at the Willingham International?"
00:12:05 Jessica's eyes lit up as she heard this.
00:12:07 Chad nodded.
00:12:08 You could understand why Jess was so agitated.
00:12:11 McKenzie was her best friend in school, and they got into a ton of trouble together.
00:12:16 Now that she heard where she was, she could use her to fight back with Kevin.
00:12:20 "Chad, then let's go over.
00:12:23 I haven't seen her for a long time," she said excitedly.
00:12:27 She did want to see her old friend.
00:12:29 After they got out of school, McKenzie deleted Jessica's phone number, and they lost touch.
00:12:34 They hadn't talked for years, but Jess knew that McKenzie would have her back when she
00:12:39 heard how rude Kevin was acting.
00:12:41 McKenzie's power was not something that Chad could compare with.
00:12:45 He was only one of the best people in their class, but she was famous throughout the whole
00:12:50 school.
00:12:52 When McKenzie was in her third year of university, she had contracts with two model companies.
00:12:58 Her annual net income was $10 to $20 million, and now that she had graduated almost three
00:13:03 years, it was hard to imagine how far she would go.
00:13:08 The only person she wanted to see was Claire, but if he didn't let other people come, it
00:13:14 would look suspicious.
00:13:16 McKenzie was Claire's greatest fear in school, so he had to do anything to get her to go.
00:13:21 "Chad, does Amy want to talk to Claire?"
00:13:25 On the other hand, Amy saw through Chad's thoughts first.
00:13:29 He smiled in embarrassment and said, "Yes."
00:13:33 McKenzie said that she had let her down all those years ago, so she wanted to meet with
00:13:36 her and apologize.
00:13:38 "Claire, do you want to-" He shifted his gaze to her.
00:13:44 "Not going."
00:13:46 Her tone was ice cold.
00:13:48 She definitely wouldn't believe his lies.
00:13:51 McKenzie wouldn't apologize to her unless pigs were flying in the sky.
00:13:56 Chad's face stiffened.
00:13:57 He was in a dilemma.
00:13:59 McKenzie's instructions were very clear.
00:14:02 What would he do if he couldn't get her to come with him?
00:14:05 "Claire, you aren't going to be alone, are you?
00:14:09 She won't do anything to you with so many of us here," Amy said with a smile.
00:14:14 She knew McKenzie had to take revenge for her for all of their time in college.
00:14:18 This time, McKenzie was determined to make Claire pay for their college days.
00:14:23 She wanted to humiliate her.
00:14:26 Hearing this, Kevin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
00:14:29 This McKenzie girl seemed to have done something outrageous to Claire while they were in school.
00:14:40 EPISODE 123.
00:14:41 THE REUNION
00:14:42 "Amy, don't think that I don't know what you're thinking."
00:14:47 Claire glanced coldly at her and laughed ironically.
00:14:50 "I was blind in the past to think that I could treat someone like you as my friend.
00:14:57 But today, we have nothing to do with each other."
00:15:01 Amy's expression changed into a scowl, but she didn't say anything.
00:15:06 "Kevin, let's go."
00:15:08 As she finished, Claire grabbed Kevin's hand.
00:15:11 Why would she continue to come to reunions if no one who attended them truly treated
00:15:16 her like a classmate?
00:15:18 Even Amy, the only friend she had kept in contact with after school, treated her no
00:15:23 better than a stranger.
00:15:28 Jessica angrily stood in front of her and said in an unfriendly tone, "Miss McKenzie
00:15:34 wants to talk to you.
00:15:36 Don't you know what's good for you?"
00:15:39 Hearing these words, Jessica also came back to her senses.
00:15:43 If Miss Etheridge asked Claire to come over, she would want to cause some trouble for her.
00:15:49 They weren't exactly friendly with each other.
00:15:52 If Claire walked away now, wouldn't she be the one to blame?
00:15:56 "Scram!"
00:15:57 Claire's tone was icy cold, and she was too lazy to be polite with anyone anymore.
00:16:02 "Claire, I'm warning you.
00:16:04 I hate to break it to you, but you're not a student anymore.
00:16:08 Our teachers would protect you from getting hurt back in the day.
00:16:11 But how will you escape your revenge this time?"
00:16:15 Back in school, McKenzie had a crush on a high class boy in love with Claire.
00:16:20 She confessed her feelings toward him, but he rejected her.
00:16:24 She has hated Claire ever since.
00:16:27 She was so mad that she went straight to Claire's dormitory and brought a few friends.
00:16:32 They dragged Claire out of her room in the middle of the night as she was sleeping and
00:16:37 threw her into the lake on campus.
00:16:39 This was during the dead of winter, and if it hadn't been for that professor that pulled
00:16:43 her out of the water, Claire would have frozen to death that night.
00:16:48 After Claire had been rescued once, she was simply terrified of McKenzie.
00:16:53 When she would see her around campus, she would duck and hide.
00:16:56 She always knew that she wanted to kill her.
00:17:00 However, McKenzie had no intention of letting this situation be forgotten.
00:17:05 Although she had never physically hurt Claire, she had been able to hurt her hundreds of
00:17:09 times with her words.
00:17:12 Claire's pretty face turned pale again.
00:17:15 McKenzie had indeed hurt her a lot of times back then.
00:17:18 Even now, she would often have nightmares about what she would say to her.
00:17:23 She definitely made Claire's life a living hell.
00:17:26 "Who is this McKenzie woman you're talking about?
00:17:29 What did she do to Claire?"
00:17:31 Seeing his wife's terrified expression, Kevin couldn't help but frown.
00:17:36 He wanted to know what this lady had done to Claire in the past to make her still so
00:17:40 afraid after all this time.
00:17:42 "Right, people like McKenzie and me have really made a name for ourselves.
00:17:47 If I say what I really think out loud, do you think you could handle it?"
00:17:52 Jessica snorted disdainfully.
00:17:54 She was trying her best to provoke Kevin.
00:17:57 Seeing that Claire refused to meet with McKenzie, she could only turn her attention to her husband.
00:18:02 "Speak.
00:18:03 I want to see who this woman thinks she is."
00:18:06 His tone was cold.
00:18:08 "Fine, you shameless hobo.
00:18:10 Then listen up.
00:18:11 Her name is McKenzie Etheridge, and she's the daughter of one of the richest families
00:18:15 in Los Angeles, the Etheridges."
00:18:18 Her expression held a hint of caution.
00:18:21 "The Etheridge family?"
00:18:23 Kevin frowned.
00:18:24 He remembered hearing about them from Ethan Miller and how they were a powerful family
00:18:29 in the city.
00:18:30 He recalled that they were even stronger than the Kale family.
00:18:34 However, compared to Kevin, they were no stronger than ants.
00:18:38 Seeing the doubt in his eyes, Jessica grew annoyed.
00:18:41 "Bastard, do you not know who the Etheridge family is?"
00:18:45 Without waiting for his response, Jessica disdainfully smiled, then said, "You're just
00:18:51 a hillbilly from Sacramento.
00:18:53 How could you possibly know anything about a powerful family like them?
00:18:56 To tell you the truth, they are revolutionary in the business world, and in the city, they
00:19:01 influence a large majority of our culture here.
00:19:04 They are heavily involved in the government of Los Angeles, and they trained many famous
00:19:08 actors and actresses like Demi Cote and Raph Walter.
00:19:13 Of course, their business in Hollywood is just scraping the surface of all their involved
00:19:17 businesses.
00:19:18 They have a heavy influence in the restaurant and real estate avenues, but how could someone
00:19:23 like you know anything about that?"
00:19:25 Chad was silent.
00:19:27 He felt as if Jessica had said it perfectly.
00:19:30 The Etheridge family was by far the most powerful family he knew.
00:19:34 His clothing factory would have never been possible if it were not for them.
00:19:38 He was lucky enough to meet Mackenzie at school and have dinner with her a few times.
00:19:43 Once he became friends with her, the family had been helping him out ever since.
00:19:47 After graduation, Mackenzie got a promotion and Chad was able to reap the benefits.
00:19:53 Mackenzie gave him enough money to begin his first ever clothing factory.
00:19:57 The more money he got, the more he understood how powerful their family was.
00:20:02 They were making ten times the profit his company was making.
00:20:06 It could be said that to get to their status, an ordinary person would have to receive a
00:20:11 miracle.
00:20:12 The Etheridge family was the definition of high class.
00:20:16 "I don't want to know how amazing this woman is.
00:20:19 I want to know what she did to my wife all those years ago."
00:20:22 He wasn't scared of the Kale family.
00:20:25 Why should he bother with a family he doesn't even know?
00:20:27 "You really want to hear this story?"
00:20:30 Max asked with a mocking smile.
00:20:32 "Speak, lady!"
00:20:33 "Honey, it's all in the past.
00:20:36 Can you not ask?"
00:20:37 At this moment, Claire suddenly spoke up and begged everyone to stop talking.
00:20:43 Kevin shook his head.
00:20:44 "Don't do that, Claire.
00:20:45 If she wronged you in the past, I need to hear about it.
00:20:48 If she needs to pay today, I will make her regret it."
00:20:52 "Make her pay?"
00:20:54 "Haha, Kevin, you are fucking hilarious.
00:20:56 Aren't you afraid of your head exploding with it growing so big?
00:21:00 A hillbilly like you would be snapped like a toothpick.
00:21:04 If you went up against her, you would be asking for a death sentence.
00:21:08 Do you really want to talk badly about her when she hasn't done anything to you?"
00:21:12 She laughed.
00:21:14 If this delivery boy thinks he's more powerful than the Etheridge after buying one meal at
00:21:19 the Flag restaurant, he is rudely mistaken.
00:21:22 "I'll ask you one last time, Jessica.
00:21:25 What did she do to my wife?"
00:21:29 Kevin's tone was cold.
00:21:30 You could feel the anger in his voice.
00:21:33 "It's really not that big of a deal."
00:21:36 She smiled mockingly.
00:21:37 "Your wife slept with Mackenzie's boyfriend while they were dating, so he took her from
00:21:42 her dorm while she was sleeping and threw her in the lake.
00:21:45 Oh yeah, and I'm sure it was winter, so I bet the water was chilly.
00:21:50 A professor saved her, though.
00:21:52 She really would have died out there.
00:21:54 Ugh."
00:21:55 With that, Jessica couldn't help but frown that Claire survived the incident.
00:22:00 At the same time, Kevin's face was turning red.
00:22:10 -
00:22:11 EPISODE 124 - Drowning and Freezing
00:22:14 He had always thought that Claire was sick because she never took her vitamins as a child.
00:22:19 But now, it seemed that it wasn't the case at all.
00:22:23 It was because of this woman, who nearly killed her.
00:22:26 He couldn't imagine how desperate she must have been while freezing and drowning in that
00:22:31 lake.
00:22:32 That evil woman attempted murder and got away with it?
00:22:37 Previously, he couldn't understand why Claire would never mention her time at school after
00:22:42 they got married.
00:22:44 But now, it seemed that it was just because she was too embarrassed.
00:22:49 It seemed to be that her time in school was miserable and traumatizing.
00:22:55 This woman was going to hell.
00:22:58 No one could treat his wife like shit.
00:23:02 Kevin gritted his teeth and grew even angrier.
00:23:06 This bitch had traumatized his wife and she was too scared to ever get back at her?
00:23:12 And this bitch, she still wasn't going to let it go?
00:23:16 And after simmering on this matter for three years, you could only imagine how despicable
00:23:22 this woman was planning on being.
00:23:25 Kevin had never hated a woman so much, and it was one he had never met.
00:23:30 "Hillbilly, if you're feeling up for it, we're about to go see her at the Willingham
00:23:35 Manor.
00:23:36 Would you dare to go talk to McKenzie?"
00:23:39 Seeing that Kevin was pissed off, Jessica grew proud and decided to add fuel to the
00:23:43 fire.
00:23:45 Kevin looked up with an extremely cold expression.
00:23:48 "Lead the way."
00:23:50 "Kevin, don't go," Claire pleaded.
00:23:53 For all these years, she had never brought up her experience in college because she didn't
00:23:58 even know how powerful the Etheridges were.
00:24:02 She was sure that even if her family combined all of their wealth, it wouldn't be a fraction
00:24:07 of what they held.
00:24:09 Kevin had already heard enough.
00:24:11 She didn't want him to get into another fight because of her, especially with someone so
00:24:15 powerful.
00:24:16 "Claire, what are you afraid of?
00:24:19 Your husband wants to protect you and get revenge on a bully for you.
00:24:22 You should be thrilled," Jessica harped sarcastically.
00:24:26 "Were you a part of that whole situation?"
00:24:30 Kevin suddenly turned around, and his cold gaze fell back on Jessica.
00:24:35 She felt a shiver down her spine and quickly explained.
00:24:38 "I... Kevin, let me explain.
00:24:41 All of this happened because of Mackenzie.
00:24:43 She was jealous of Claire.
00:24:45 If you want to handle this like a man, find her."
00:24:48 "I'll go find that bitch Mackenzie that you're talking about.
00:24:51 However, if I find out you had any part in this situation, I don't think you can run
00:24:57 free.
00:24:58 Since this situation happened so long ago, he would have to be smart about how to take
00:25:03 them all down.
00:25:04 He would have killed them all if he had been there when it happened.
00:25:08 "I'm sorry, Claire.
00:25:09 I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
00:25:10 She said, curling her lips in disdain.
00:25:11 "You're still going to try and fight with me?
00:25:13 I'd like to see you handle Mackenzie first," she huffed.
00:25:17 Seeing that Kevin insisted on visiting the manor, Chad was immediately overjoyed.
00:25:22 Previously, he was worried that he wouldn't be able to complete the mission that Mackenzie
00:25:26 sent him on.
00:25:28 Kevin was begging to come with them to Willingham Manor at the end of the day.
00:25:32 It truly could not have worked better.
00:25:35 Chad chuckled to himself, and he even made sure to tell Kevin how powerful their family
00:25:40 was.
00:25:41 When they were in school, she was the wildest party girl you could imagine.
00:25:45 She nearly ruined their family's reputation with all of the trouble she got into.
00:25:50 However, her family members would do anything for her and deeply loved her.
00:25:55 No matter how much trouble she got into, her family would find a way out for her.
00:26:00 Today, if Claire were to show her face at the manor, she would be skinned alive.
00:26:06 "Is there anyone else who wants to go to Willingham Manor?"
00:26:11 Chad looked at his surrounding peers with a smile.
00:26:14 Everyone was a little interested in attending, but they shied away from the power of the
00:26:18 Etheridge family and the intimidation of the Willingham Manor.
00:26:22 Chad shook his head, a hint of disdain in his eyes as he looked around.
00:26:27 What a bunch of bums.
00:26:29 Thinking about this, he laughed and said, "I forgot to tell everyone.
00:26:34 If you guys would have come with us to the Willingham Manor, I would treat everyone to
00:26:38 a meal, all expenses paid.
00:26:40 With Kevin's hospitality, I couldn't pay for your meal here.
00:26:44 Oh, I can't let my gratitude for you all go unnoticed."
00:26:49 Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.
00:26:52 They were naturally willing to go since Willingham Manor was the most luxurious place in the
00:26:56 city.
00:26:57 Eating there would be the meal of a lifetime.
00:27:01 Go there, take a few pictures, post them on every social media, and people will talk to
00:27:06 you about it for years.
00:27:08 "Chad, you are so generous.
00:27:10 You're making me blush."
00:27:12 Amy couldn't help but grow more fond of Chad.
00:27:15 He was an incredible guy, and she had to get closer to him.
00:27:18 "What's there to blush about?
00:27:20 We're all reunited.
00:27:22 This is something to celebrate.
00:27:23 What's the point of having classmates if not to treat them?"
00:27:27 Chad was smiling outside, but he didn't want to show Amy any affection, so Claire didn't
00:27:32 get the wrong impression.
00:27:33 "Let's not stand around much longer.
00:27:36 Mackenzie is still waiting on us.
00:27:38 Everyone hurry up and head over there."
00:27:41 He took his hands away from Amy's leg and said seriously, "Yes, yes."
00:27:46 Everyone hurriedly nodded, and then the group moved so fast that it was as if they had disappeared.
00:27:51 "Mr. Crow, that person over there looks like the guy you fought at Willingham Manor, doesn't
00:27:58 it?"
00:27:59 When Kevin and the others stepped out of the restaurant, someone recognized him.
00:28:03 "A fight with me?"
00:28:05 Ronald was stunned before he understood what his friend meant.
00:28:08 "You're talking about Mr. Kevin Bennett?"
00:28:11 "Mr. Bennett?"
00:28:13 Ronald's bodyguard wasn't there for the situation yesterday, so he wondered why his
00:28:17 boss sounded so scared.
00:28:20 He didn't explain and just looked in the group's direction.
00:28:23 However, he found that the masses of people that were just outside of the restaurant had
00:28:28 left, and Kevin was nowhere to be found.
00:28:31 Seeing that Mr. Crow seemed to be very anxious, the bodyguard said, "Mr. Crow, the man you
00:28:37 were talking about seems to have just eaten at the restaurant.
00:28:41 You can look over the surveillance footage and see what he was doing there."
00:28:44 "Let's go."
00:28:45 "It would be a huge deal if Kevin came to eat at the restaurant.
00:28:50 After all, Flag Restaurant was his own business, and you did not come out to say hello to him.
00:28:56 He could find it disrespectful if he thought too much about it."
00:28:59 "Mr. Crow."
00:29:01 Seeing Ronald, Paulo's expression immediately became extremely respectful.
00:29:06 "Was there anyone with the last name Bennett among those people who just walked out?"
00:29:10 He asked hurriedly.
00:29:11 "The last name Bennett, you said?"
00:29:14 The waiter was surprised.
00:29:16 That was the terrifying man who drank more than eight bottles of wine in one sitting.
00:29:20 "Mr. Crow, that man Mr. Bennett, did he offend you somehow?"
00:29:26 After Kevin left, he had to see Mr. Crow's response to Kevin before he got into the story
00:29:31 of what happened that night.
00:29:33 Mr. Bennett was treated with nothing but disrespect at the restaurant, and everyone was terrified
00:29:37 for Mr. Crow to find out.
00:29:43 Word 125.
00:29:45 True Identity
00:29:46 "I'm asking you if the man ate here or not.
00:29:51 It's a yes or no question.
00:29:52 Why are you not telling me the truth?"
00:29:54 Ronald was a bit impatient.
00:29:55 "Yes, yes.
00:29:56 Mr. Crow, there was a Mr. Bennett here just now.
00:30:01 He was eating here at a table of over forty, and he paid for every single one of their
00:30:05 meals.
00:30:06 And by the way, he did get into a fight with someone while he was here."
00:30:10 The waiter didn't dare to hide anything from the owner.
00:30:13 He wanted to tell them everything, including the drinking competition between Kevin and
00:30:17 Chad, and the incident where he beat up Jessica, and him announcing the fact that he had over
00:30:22 a billion dollars.
00:30:25 It's undoubtedly Mr. Bennett.
00:30:27 Ronald couldn't be truly convinced at first, but once he heard one billion dollars, he
00:30:32 knew it had to be Kevin.
00:30:34 Only a Bennett could have that much money on a singular card.
00:30:39 Mr. Kevin Bennett?
00:30:41 The employees couldn't help but open their eyes wide.
00:30:44 Did they hear something wrong?
00:30:46 Ronald just said that they served Kevin Bennett without even knowing it.
00:30:51 Ronald didn't intend to explain anything to the two, and directly ordered, "Paulo,
00:30:57 ask the finance department to take out 1.8 million and return the money immediately to
00:31:01 Mr. Bennett's account.
00:31:02 If Kevin is eating at our restaurant, he simply embarrasses us by paying for his meal.
00:31:07 We cannot accept a dime from him."
00:31:10 Ronald's words caused the two of them to open their mouths wide and sink into a petrified
00:31:15 state.
00:31:17 What kind of man could make Mr. Crowe act this way?
00:31:21 Ronald was even too scared to take his money.
00:31:24 "Also, never speak a word about what happened today.
00:31:28 If I hear that one of you two opened your mouths, there will be hell to pay," he snorted
00:31:33 coldly and threatened.
00:31:35 Only a few people in the entire city knew Mr. Bennett's true identity.
00:31:40 If word were to get around about his arrival, there would only be a few people to blame.
00:31:45 Ronald would be one of them.
00:31:47 "Yes, Mr. Crowe," the employees hurriedly nodded.
00:31:50 From his tone, it was obvious that Mr. Bennett had a lot of power.
00:31:55 How could someone who seemed so poor make someone like Ronald so afraid?
00:32:00 Mr. Crowe quickly pulled out his phone to text Prince Abdul about Kevin making his way
00:32:05 to Willingham Manor.
00:32:07 Since Kevin was currently the largest shareholder in their business, today was the perfect opportunity
00:32:12 to let the core shareholders get to know him.
00:32:15 Kevin and Claire sat in the back of Chad's car while Amy snatched the front passenger
00:32:19 seat, talking and laughing with him along the way.
00:32:22 "Chad, I heard that you have to have a membership card if you want to get into the
00:32:27 Willingham Manor.
00:32:28 Do you have one so we can enter?"
00:32:30 When they were almost to the property, Amy grew curious about how they planned to get
00:32:34 in.
00:32:35 She had only heard of Willingham Manor, but she had never been fortunate enough to go.
00:32:40 Chad shook his head and laughed.
00:32:42 "No.
00:32:43 There are so many sections to the building.
00:32:46 Some are normal living spaces that are open to the public, and you can enter all of them
00:32:51 as you wish, but they are more exclusive for some of the nicer areas, and you have to have
00:32:56 a card to get in.
00:32:58 The higher level lounge spaces are divided into different levels.
00:33:02 The lowest level, silver member, can only enter into the level two lounge areas, and
00:33:07 your gold members can enter into both the level two and the level three area lounges.
00:33:14 Platinum members gain access into some of the core lounge rooms of the building, such
00:33:19 as the hunting garden and the shooting ground."
00:33:21 Amy had heard all of this before, but she listened to every word of Chad's and allowed
00:33:26 him to show off.
00:33:27 "Why are they so strict about all of the lounge areas?"
00:33:32 Amy was a little surprised, but at the same time, she was also curious about what level
00:33:36 of the member he was.
00:33:38 "I understand.
00:33:40 It is slightly overkilling.
00:33:42 When their business was first established, they were used as a place of luxury for the
00:33:46 absolute elite.
00:33:47 Businessmen, government officials, Hollywood stars, you name it.
00:33:51 If they were famous, they stayed here.
00:33:54 Ordinary, ordinary people couldn't even get into the radius of the property without being
00:33:58 escorted off."
00:34:00 When Jessica said this, she glanced at Kevin as if she was hinting at something.
00:34:04 "Oh right, Chad.
00:34:06 You're a member here, right?"
00:34:08 Jessica suddenly asked, trying to flatter him.
00:34:11 He nodded and said proudly, "I am a gold member here!"
00:34:15 "Gold member?"
00:34:17 Jess covered her mouth in surprise and said, "Chad, the annual membership fee for a gold
00:34:22 member is almost five hundred thousand, is it not?"
00:34:26 Chad continued to nod, looking even more proud.
00:34:29 "Yes, it is five hundred thousand, and that doesn't even count how much we spent on drinks
00:34:35 at the lounge.
00:34:36 If we count those, we'd have to add another five hundred thousand."
00:34:40 "Chad, if only I could be as rich as you."
00:34:44 Jessica was a little envious.
00:34:46 She was a designer in a small company, working so hard every year.
00:34:50 Yet Chad barely broke a sweat and got anything he wanted.
00:34:55 She wished she could live a life so luxurious.
00:34:58 He coughed twice and said, "Jessica, you have to give things time.
00:35:03 How do you think I got to be a gold member?
00:35:06 I worked my butt off.
00:35:08 Who knows, maybe next year I'll be a platinum member."
00:35:12 He was secretly showing off that he would level up his membership card next year.
00:35:17 Jessica knew what was going on and quickly asked, "Oh goodness, Chad, how much is the
00:35:21 annual membership fee for platinum members?"
00:35:24 "Not much, just a million."
00:35:27 His tone was indifferent.
00:35:29 It felt like he was talking about change.
00:35:31 "Wow, Chad, only a million?"
00:35:34 She looked at him with admiration and said, "Chad, some people might not be able to earn
00:35:39 that much in their entire lives.
00:35:41 Kevin, how long will it take you to make a million delivering takeout?"
00:35:46 Jessica tried to hide her hits at Kevin, but Amy wanted to call him out completely.
00:35:51 After all, they were the only two men in the car, so now would be her chance.
00:35:56 "More than ten years," Kevin said lightly.
00:35:59 "According to the salary of six or seven thousand per month, it does require a few dozen years
00:36:04 of takeout service to save up a million dollars."
00:36:07 "A dozen years?"
00:36:09 Amy laughed disdainfully.
00:36:10 "Have you spent any money on food or clothing in the past decade?
00:36:15 Well, let's see how many years it will take you to make a million dollars, huh?"
00:36:20 Kevin's tone was sarcastic as well.
00:36:22 Amy wanted to see him fool himself, didn't she?
00:36:25 She will be majorly disappointed.
00:36:28 Her tone turned sluggish as she felt disrespected.
00:36:32 This damn asshole wanted to talk back to her?
00:36:35 "Kevin, what's with the attitude?
00:36:38 What Amy said was just the truth.
00:36:40 There's no possible way that you could save up a million dollars in a dozen years, right?"
00:36:46 Jessica said dissatisfaction.
00:36:48 "Mmm-hmm.
00:36:49 That's impossible," he nodded.
00:36:51 "He had always known that you could never reason with an idiot.
00:36:54 If you try to argue your point to a stupid person, then you are the one who becomes stupid."
00:36:59 "Hmph.
00:37:01 Claire must have been blind when she met you.
00:37:03 Why would she fall in love with a bum like you?
00:37:05 Look at Chad, who can afford to spend one million dollars on a membership fee?
00:37:10 He is even generous enough to let us tag along."
00:37:14 Jessica continued to mock him.
00:37:16 Kevin's expression turned cold.
00:37:18 It was one thing to make fun of him, but he would not let them pick on Claire.
00:37:27 ---
00:37:28 Episode 126 "A Diamond Member"
00:37:31 "Who were you to think that I don't have a membership at Willingham Manor?"
00:37:36 He laughed to himself because he didn't just have one membership.
00:37:39 He had three.
00:37:41 As the biggest shareholder, he had the proof to show them he was the only one who had access
00:37:47 to the garden.
00:37:48 "You said that you are also a member of Willingham Manor?"
00:37:52 Jessica acted as if she had heard a joke, her expression extremely boastful.
00:37:57 "You don't believe me?"
00:37:59 Kevin sneered.
00:38:00 "Ha ha!
00:38:01 Screw it!
00:38:02 I believe you!"
00:38:03 She held her stomach as she laughed, saying, "If you're a member, what kind of membership
00:38:08 do you have?
00:38:09 Steel or brass?"
00:38:11 Of course, she was mocking him when she said this.
00:38:14 There were no such memberships as brass or steel.
00:38:18 He was too lazy to care about it.
00:38:20 After they entered the building later, Jessica, that idiot, would figure out what type of
00:38:25 membership he had.
00:38:27 "Jess, don't say that to my friend Kevin!
00:38:30 He's a Diamond Member!
00:38:32 Someone of his status deserves nothing less!"
00:38:36 Chad also added in a mocking tone, "Is there even such a thing as a Diamond Membership?"
00:38:41 Amy, on the other hand, was more concerned about this.
00:38:45 A platinum membership alone would cost over a million dollars a year.
00:38:50 "Yes, there are Diamond Members there, but that title isn't something you can buy.
00:38:54 If you want to be a Diamond Member, you have to be recommended by the company's shareholders.
00:38:59 Once you become a Diamond Member, the annual membership fee will be ten million dollars."
00:39:06 "Ten million?"
00:39:09 She covered her mouth in shock.
00:39:11 A membership fee of ten million?
00:39:13 What kind of ridiculously rich person could afford this?
00:39:17 "Yeah, but I haven't even reached that level yet.
00:39:21 I don't want to spend ten million every year."
00:39:24 They were very strict with payment within the company, so they had to be selective with
00:39:28 who they accepted into the Diamond Membership.
00:39:31 They had to make sure they would be able to pay.
00:39:34 Amy didn't know what to say anymore.
00:39:36 She realized that she had been too naive in the past and didn't truly understand how much
00:39:42 money these people were spending on their memberships.
00:39:46 Tens of millions of dollars every year was a ton of money.
00:39:50 "Chad, what kind of membership does McKenzie have?"
00:39:54 Jessica asked.
00:39:55 "McKenzie?
00:39:56 She is one of the company's shareholders."
00:39:59 "What kind of membership do you think she has?"
00:40:03 McKenzie was naturally a Diamond-ranked member at the manor.
00:40:07 Her older brother was a shareholder in Willingham Manor and her shares.
00:40:11 Jessica's heart was filled with excitement.
00:40:14 McKenzie was indeed a Diamond-ranked member.
00:40:17 She was going to kiss her ass when she saw her.
00:40:21 If she could make amends with McKenzie and become friends with her again, she would be
00:40:25 able to go to Willingham Manor all the time.
00:40:28 Seeing the two women getting so excited just at the mention of a Diamond Membership, Kevin's
00:40:33 expression could not help but turn strange.
00:40:36 If these two idiots knew that he, the man they had been making fun of, was one of the
00:40:41 largest shareholders in the company, how would they react then?
00:40:46 Very quickly, the car arrived at the entrance to Willingham Manor.
00:40:50 The man who walked out to greet Chad was wearing a sleek suit and appeared to be his supervisor.
00:40:55 "Mr. Connery, this way please."
00:40:58 The employee widens his eyes at the sight of the dozens of people behind him.
00:41:02 He gathered them all and brought them to a small lounge area.
00:41:06 This was a small area with a pool, a small picnic area, a little garden, and other amenities.
00:41:12 The space was very nice to spend time in.
00:41:15 Chad wished that he could take a picture of everything in the lounge.
00:41:18 After all, after this moment, he had no clue when he would have the opportunity to come
00:41:23 back.
00:41:24 He would need to get proof that he was here to show people at work.
00:41:27 On the other hand, Amy and Jessica were a little more reserved.
00:41:31 They didn't mingle with the other girls that were there.
00:41:34 They grew to hate them even more after watching them mingle.
00:41:38 They felt that they were already much better than them and didn't need to be associating
00:41:42 with such measly people.
00:41:44 "Chad, when will McKenzie be here?"
00:41:47 Jessica couldn't help but ask.
00:41:49 It had already been ten minutes since they entered the building, and no manager had come
00:41:53 to greet them.
00:41:55 They were stuck with a common receptionist.
00:41:58 McKenzie hadn't shown up at all.
00:42:00 "Miss Etheridge!"
00:42:02 He also wanted to know where she was.
00:42:04 However, he didn't want to disturb her by requesting she talk to them.
00:42:08 After all, they weren't considered friends, but she technically is considered his boss.
00:42:14 At this moment, a handsome young man appeared.
00:42:17 He was even taller than Chad, and his body was extremely well-proportioned, just like
00:42:23 a male model.
00:42:24 "Mr. Hughes!"
00:42:26 Greeting the young man, Chad's attitude immediately became respectful.
00:42:30 "He's…
00:42:32 Charlie Hughes?"
00:42:34 Very quickly, Jessica and Amy recognized the gorgeous man.
00:42:39 It was the same man that made McKenzie hate Claire in the first place.
00:42:43 Charlie no longer had the baby-like face he did while they were in school.
00:42:47 He looked more mature and handsome.
00:42:49 He had a quality about him that just screamed wealth.
00:42:53 If it weren't for Chad calling out to him, they wouldn't have seen him.
00:42:57 "Did you bring our requested guest over?"
00:43:01 Charlie's expression was very proud.
00:43:04 He did not want Chad to think he was anything more than a delivery boy.
00:43:08 "I've brought it, sir."
00:43:11 Chad's attitude was almost too respectful.
00:43:14 He didn't want to be disrespectful in any way.
00:43:17 "Where?"
00:43:18 "Over there," he pointed at Claire.
00:43:21 At this moment, she was nestling in Kevin's arms, not looking in their direction.
00:43:27 "Yes," Mr. Hughes nodded slightly.
00:43:30 The way he looked at Claire was a little intimidating, but the way he looked at Kevin was chilling.
00:43:37 "McKenzie is going to grab the shareholders.
00:43:40 She will come over once their meeting is over.
00:43:42 I'll take you guys on tour around the hunting grounds to kill some time," he said lightly.
00:43:47 "Hunting grounds?
00:43:49 Charlie, I don't think we have a pest to get in there."
00:43:53 The hunting grounds was one of the most exclusive areas of Willingham Manor.
00:43:57 It was only open to Platinum members, and Chad was only a Gold member.
00:44:02 A hint of disdain flashed across Charlie's eyes, and he said, "I'm the general manager
00:44:08 of the entire garden and hunting grounds.
00:44:11 If you guys don't have a membership, I can let you in."
00:44:15 "Charlie, you were promoted?"
00:44:18 "Yeah."
00:44:19 The last time he came to the manor, Charlie was only the manager of one of the lounge
00:44:23 areas.
00:44:24 In the blink of an eye, he had managed to work up to being the manager of the most exclusive
00:44:29 lounge areas, which were hard positions to get.
00:44:33 Because of his position as the general manager of the inner garden, he was constantly in
00:44:37 contact with many really important people.
00:44:40 Therefore, he often got a lot of exclusive opportunities to make conversations.
00:44:46 Charlie nodded his head slightly.
00:44:48 He was able to get this position because of his relationship with McKenzie.
00:44:52 His own family only had a little bit of money, and he wouldn't be anywhere near as wealthy
00:44:57 as he is today without the help of McKenzie's family.
00:45:05 Episode 127 - Endangered Animals
00:45:10 Charlie became delighted that he chose McKenzie over Claire all those years ago.
00:45:15 Claire had no way of getting him to the position he was in today.
00:45:18 Who knows, where would he have ended up if he had chosen Claire?
00:45:22 "Everyone, pack up.
00:45:25 Mr. Hughes is taking us to the hunting grounds.
00:45:28 Those who like to hunt can prepare.
00:45:31 These are the largest hunting grounds in the city, and you can find any prey you can think
00:45:36 of.
00:45:37 Doves, hare, pheasant, black antelope, there is anything you could imagine.
00:45:42 You all will be amazed.
00:45:45 Of course, there is also some prey that you won't be able to see that are nocturnal.
00:45:50 These are black wolves, and a very exotic breed of the owl.
00:45:54 You can try your best to look for them, but I presume it will be fairly difficult."
00:45:59 Chad shouted.
00:46:00 "Isn't the black wolf an endangered animal?
00:46:04 Isn't it protected under the law?
00:46:06 Some people were stunned by what they were hearing.
00:46:09 Hunting an endangered species could put you in jail.
00:46:12 How could these people get away with something like that?"
00:46:15 "Do you see where we are?"
00:46:18 Jessica mocked in disdain.
00:46:19 "Let me tell you the truth.
00:46:21 As long as you have money, you can even have tigers delivered here for you to hunt.
00:46:26 Of course, if you think you could kill a tiger before it kills you."
00:46:30 Charlie smiled faintly and didn't say anything.
00:46:33 There were indeed many so-called protected animals on private hunting grounds.
00:46:39 It was funny that Jessica mentioned tigers because they even had a few white snow tigers
00:46:43 a few years back.
00:46:45 It was amazing how the animal protection agencies haven't come to check them out.
00:46:49 When you reach this level of wealth, laws are no more than pieces of paper.
00:46:55 If their business for the hunting grounds was hunting government-protected animals,
00:46:59 didn't that make all of these rich businessmen criminals?
00:47:02 These kinds of animals, tigers, lions, antelope, buffalo, were heavily protected, and many
00:47:08 common people have been sent to jail for trying to sell their items on the black market.
00:47:12 "When you enter the hunting grounds, remind your classmates not to take any photos when
00:47:17 you get inside," Mr. Hughes ordered again.
00:47:21 "Yes, sir," Chad nodded.
00:47:23 The inside of the hunting grounds had strictly prohibited filming.
00:47:27 This was a written rule because many things were unsuitable for knowing the outside world.
00:47:32 Seeing Charlie leave, Amy and Jessica finally walked up to him.
00:47:37 That was Charlie Hughes?
00:47:39 Although she already had a guess, Jessica still wanted to confirm it.
00:47:43 After all, he had changed a lot since their time together at school.
00:47:48 Chad nodded and said, "Don't call him by his first name when we meet him in the future.
00:47:52 Now he's married to Mackenzie, so you have to be respectful."
00:47:57 "He's married to Mackenzie?"
00:48:00 Jess was surprised.
00:48:02 She shook his head and said, "It's not that he's married to her yet, but that he has already
00:48:07 become a member of her family.
00:48:09 Right now, he can be considered to be a stay-at-home husband."
00:48:13 "Being a stay-at-home husband is pretty good.
00:48:17 He's already the general manager of a portion of Willingham Manor," Jessica said in envy.
00:48:22 "Pretty good?
00:48:24 What a useless little shit," Chad sneered to himself.
00:48:28 Although Charlie looked like a charmer on the surface, he was a servant of his girlfriend.
00:48:33 He was their family's puppet.
00:48:35 Even if she married him, she would often bring home crazy men to have sex with to get on
00:48:40 his nerves.
00:48:41 However, he always stayed complacent and never let his anger get the best of him.
00:48:47 He had to stay in his wife's good graces to keep his money.
00:48:50 Therefore, Chad doesn't have any respect for Charlie.
00:48:54 However, Mr. Hughes did reap the benefits of his wife's connections.
00:48:59 Even if Zhao Xiaofang was useless, he still had an amazing job.
00:49:04 He could not afford to offend either of them.
00:49:07 "Right, where's McKenzie?"
00:49:09 Jessica continued to ask.
00:49:11 "Today, a few of the major shareholders are coming to visit.
00:49:16 McKenzie is going to grab them," Chad said.
00:49:18 "The major shareholders?"
00:49:21 Amy rolled her eyes.
00:49:22 On the way here, she had already checked up on all the shareholders in the business on
00:49:26 Facebook.
00:49:27 They were all super upper-class businessmen like Chad and Charlie, with tens of millions
00:49:33 of dollars in their pockets.
00:49:35 She barely had enough money to have the courage to talk to them.
00:49:39 She had to think of a way to flirt with any one of them.
00:49:42 That way, she wouldn't have to worry about anything again.
00:49:45 If she won one of them over, she would be rich, Amy thought to herself.
00:49:50 They all had ulterior motives as they finally entered the hunting grounds.
00:49:54 Although it was called the hunting grounds, it was just an extremely large forest.
00:49:59 The area seemed to be about 10,000 acres, and one could see where the property ended.
00:50:04 In the forest depths, there seemed to be a deep mountain.
00:50:08 As everyone stared in amazement, there were hare and pheasant that would frequently flash
00:50:13 past the forest.
00:50:15 It took everyone a second to take in the view.
00:50:18 After all, this was their first time on the hunting grounds, their first time hunting
00:50:22 in general.
00:50:24 Charlie led the group in silence, only occasionally saying a side comment to Chad.
00:50:28 He felt that the others were too low-class to talk to him.
00:50:31 He didn't sign up for a charity event.
00:50:34 However, no one dared to be angry.
00:50:37 After all, he had a reason to feel entitled.
00:50:40 He quite literally was in control of the hunting grounds.
00:50:44 This was a position that people worked their entire lives to earn.
00:50:48 Kevin and Claire walked together.
00:50:50 Perhaps it was the first time Claire had been here, but there was something new.
00:50:54 A smile appeared on her pretty face once again.
00:50:58 The fearful butterflies in her stomach settled as McKenzie grew later.
00:51:03 On the other hand, Kevin was bored.
00:51:05 If it weren't for Claire, he wouldn't even enter this kind of place.
00:51:09 When he was 10 years old, he was thrown into a much more dangerous forest than the one
00:51:13 they were in.
00:51:15 He was left out there to survive all alone.
00:51:18 During that time, he had to face a grizzly bear and a pack of hungry wolves, and he would
00:51:23 occasionally encounter the most vicious mountain lions that would terrorize him at night.
00:51:28 Usually, there was a security team to ensure everyone's safety, but Charlie failed to
00:51:33 call one for such common people.
00:51:36 Even though Chad wanted everyone here to hunt, he wanted them to understand that it was just
00:51:40 for entertainment.
00:51:42 You could only shoot the animals in certain areas, and you couldn't kill them.
00:51:46 At this moment, Kevin's phone rang.
00:51:50 Mr. Bennett?
00:51:51 It's Mr. Abdul.
00:51:52 Are you at the manor now?
00:51:54 Hmm…
00:51:55 Kevin raised his eyebrows.
00:51:57 How did Paul know that he was here?
00:51:59 Could he have sent someone to spy on him?
00:52:02 On the other side of the conversation, Paul realized what Kevin was thinking and hurriedly
00:52:07 explained, "Mr. Bennett.
00:52:09 My little brother who saw you coming out of the Flag restaurant, and he came over here
00:52:13 to tell me about your arrival.
00:52:15 I just wanted to use this opportunity to let the other shareholders have a chance to meet
00:52:19 you.
00:52:20 The Willingham Manor's board originally had nine shareholders.
00:52:24 After John Cale was kicked out, Kevin entered again.
00:52:28 And with one meeting, he became the largest shareholder.
00:52:31 Naturally, he wanted other shareholders to recognize him.
00:52:35 "Where are you?"
00:52:36 Kevin asked.
00:52:37 "We're in the conference room.
00:52:39 Mr. Bennett, you can come back after you're done.
00:52:41 We're not in a hurry."
00:52:42 "No need.
00:52:43 I'll come over now."
00:52:46 These shareholders would have to meet them sooner or later.
00:52:48 He might as well get the interaction over with, and he didn't want to make another
00:52:52 trip here.
00:52:53 He was dreading his presence already.
00:52:55 He didn't want to have to come back.
00:52:58 After hanging up, Kevin walked to Claire's side.
00:53:01 "Claire, I'm headed to see some friends.
00:53:03 Do you want to come with me?" he asked.
00:53:06 He wasn't ready to tell her his true title, but he wouldn't lie to her if she wanted
00:53:10 to ask.
00:53:11 This was a good opportunity for her to get to know Mr. Abdul.
00:53:19 EPISODE 128 Hypersexuality a Disorder?
00:53:24 Claire hesitated for a moment before shaking her head.
00:53:27 "No need.
00:53:28 You can go by yourself.
00:53:29 I'll wait here for you."
00:53:31 She could roughly guess who Kevin wanted her to see, and she could guess that they were
00:53:35 really powerful.
00:53:37 She also knew that he was slowly confessing to her.
00:53:41 However, she wasn't prepared.
00:53:44 He wasn't doing a very good job of doing so, and she understood why he kept this power
00:53:48 secret for so long.
00:53:50 If all of his friends were powerful and famous, would she embarrass him?
00:53:55 After all, there was nothing else going for her other than her beauty.
00:54:00 She did not have a super powerful family, and she didn't have any way of moving up
00:54:04 socially.
00:54:05 "Then wait for me for ten minutes.
00:54:07 I'll be back in ten minutes."
00:54:10 Since she did not plan to go, he would not make things difficult for her.
00:54:14 "Okay, I'll wait for you."
00:54:16 She nodded lightly.
00:54:18 Seeing Kevin leave, Charlie subconsciously leaned toward her.
00:54:23 "Claire.
00:54:24 Long time no see."
00:54:26 He greeted her with a smile.
00:54:28 Three years had passed, and she was still as charming as ever, even more stunning than
00:54:33 when she was in college.
00:54:35 She was slim and graceful, and she had left McKenzie ten blocks behind when it came to
00:54:40 aging.
00:54:41 "Long time no see."
00:54:43 Her attitude was a bit cold.
00:54:45 She didn't have any feelings for him in the past, and it was always Charlie hopelessly
00:54:50 pursuing her.
00:54:51 However, McKenzie had told everyone that Claire was seducing Charlie, and that's why she threw
00:54:57 her in the lake.
00:54:58 "I heard your marriage wasn't going well."
00:55:02 She lit up a cigarette with a sad look on his face.
00:55:05 She shook her head and said, "No, I've been living a good life ever since I got married.
00:55:11 Very happy."
00:55:12 "Happy?"
00:55:13 He smiled disdainfully and said, "How can your husband make you happy if he delivers
00:55:18 takeout for a living?
00:55:20 Does he make any money?"
00:55:23 Claire's expression was calm.
00:55:25 She did not retort, nor did she need to.
00:55:27 "How about this?
00:55:29 Give her back home and divorce that asshole husband.
00:55:32 You can come back and live in the city with me, and I'll give you $100,000 a month."
00:55:38 He let out a smoke ring and said lightly.
00:55:41 She frowned.
00:55:42 "Charlie, please show some respect.
00:55:45 I'm now a married woman, and you're married too.
00:55:47 To McKenzie.
00:55:48 Do you not respect her at all?
00:55:52 You feel sorry for her?"
00:55:53 His expression suddenly turned hideous.
00:55:56 "Do you know what that bitch did?
00:55:59 And you are scared that I don't respect her?"
00:56:02 "What did she do?"
00:56:04 She asked with a frown.
00:56:06 "Oh."
00:56:08 Charlie laughed at himself and said, "That bitch.
00:56:11 On the night of her wedding, she brought two men home and had sex with them in front of
00:56:15 me.
00:56:16 You think I care what that bitch thinks about me anymore?"
00:56:20 "Perhaps in the eyes of others, I, Charlie, am now living a bright life.
00:56:27 After all, I am the stay-at-home husband of one of the most powerful ladies in the world.
00:56:33 I would never dare to go against any of her commands for me."
00:56:36 His face was filled with hatred.
00:56:39 Back then, when McKenzie asked him to live with her family, he was so thrilled.
00:56:44 After all, that was one of the most powerful families in the city, and most normal people
00:56:49 would never even be able to get in contact with them.
00:56:53 The famous Etheridge family of Los Angeles, a true wealthy class family.
00:56:58 Anyone would be extremely grateful to live with them.
00:57:01 Being a stay-at-home husband of the Etheridge family would bring someone a great amount
00:57:05 of power.
00:57:07 It was with this thought in mind that he married into their family.
00:57:11 But no one would have been able to predict that McKenzie would show her true colors once
00:57:16 they were married.
00:57:17 She was a slut that would sleep with anyone, even if she was married.
00:57:22 Finding a new man for her was easier than changing her underwear.
00:57:27 Everyone in the Etheridge family knew about her side hobby, and Charlie was the only one
00:57:32 who didn't.
00:57:33 He was recruited because once McKenzie reached the age of marriage, the family was terrified
00:57:39 that the city would find out about her sex addiction.
00:57:42 They had to find a husband for her for their reputation.
00:57:46 As for this live-in husband, the family was unsure if they could fully control him.
00:57:51 Therefore, Charlie was no longer a man of his own, but a puppet.
00:57:56 A dog that let his wife boss him around.
00:57:59 Claire was so shocked that her mouth gaped wide open.
00:58:04 She would never have thought that McKenzie would be so evil.
00:58:07 How could someone truly be so shameless that they would sleep with two other men on their
00:58:12 wedding night?
00:58:13 "Claire, I know your husband is a loser.
00:58:18 You've been unhappy for the past few years.
00:58:20 So divorce him and stay with me.
00:58:23 That bitch McKenzie.
00:58:25 Sooner or later, her actions will catch up with her.
00:58:28 I like you from the bottom of my heart, and I believe that you can feel it too."
00:58:34 She was the only woman who could make him look bad.
00:58:37 Other women would tell everyone the information he just told her, but he knew that she was
00:58:42 an amazing person.
00:58:44 She would keep it a secret.
00:58:46 Many people thought that the boys only fawned after her in school because she was pretty.
00:58:51 However, he was the only one that truly knew they liked her because of her personality.
00:58:59 Claire was one of the kindest people on earth.
00:59:02 Kindness is a quality that may sound ridiculous.
00:59:05 Still, nonetheless, it was a quality that many women lacked in modern days.
00:59:10 "Charlie, I can understand your feelings right now, but we really aren't made to be a couple,
00:59:17 and my husband isn't as useless as you think.
00:59:19 On the contrary, he's very outstanding, and I even believe him to be the most outstanding
00:59:26 person in the world.
00:59:27 I would never even think about leaving him.
00:59:30 Not for a second."
00:59:32 She shook her head.
00:59:33 She indeed sympathized with Charlie's current situation, but sympathizing with him did not
00:59:38 mean she had to give up on her own marriage because she felt bad.
00:59:43 He frowned.
00:59:44 "Claire, you and I are both victims of terrible marriages.
00:59:49 Is it fun to lie to me?
00:59:51 I've heard everything about your husband.
00:59:54 He's just a piece of shit who doesn't make enough money to make you happy."
00:59:58 Claire shook her head and took a step back.
01:00:01 "Claire, please, give me a chance.
01:00:05 I really like you."
01:00:07 He seemed excited as he reached out to pull her into a hug.
01:00:11 "Please, have some self-respect."
01:00:14 She was a bit angry and pushed his hand away.
01:00:17 "Charlie, what are you doing?"
01:00:20 At this time, a sharp voice sounded.
01:00:23 A woman with heavy makeup in a black Mercedes rode up.
01:00:27 She was wearing a black tracksuit, and her figure was flawless.
01:00:31 She was also very pretty.
01:00:33 The only flaw anyone could see with their naked eyes would be a scar above her eyebrow.
01:00:38 Seeing McKenzie, Charlie suddenly became scared out of his wits.
01:00:42 He retracted his hand and explained, "Wifey, listen to me.
01:00:46 It's not what you think."
01:00:47 "Bam!"
01:00:48 Before he could finish his words, McKenzie, who had just gotten out of the car, slapped
01:00:54 his face.
01:00:56 Five red fingerprints appeared on his handsome face.
01:00:59 "You seem quite stupid right now, Charlie.
01:01:02 I've only lived for a few minutes, and you dare to cheat?"
01:01:06 She sneered.
01:01:11 ------
01:01:12 EPISODE 129.
01:01:14 Undisputed Seductress
01:01:16 Charlie's entire body trembled out of fear.
01:01:20 His eyes burned with anger and disappointment.
01:01:23 Since other people were in the room, McKenzie wouldn't care about disrespecting him.
01:01:28 It was common for her to slap him.
01:01:31 However, although he was furious, he would never talk back to her.
01:01:35 He knew that he could never fight against her.
01:01:38 If McKenzie felt as if he offended her, she would be sure to kill him.
01:01:44 "Babe, listen to me.
01:01:46 I'm always loyal to you.
01:01:48 It was Claire that tried to seduce me first."
01:01:51 He pointed at Claire's nose and accused her.
01:01:54 At this time, he could only blame her.
01:01:57 Otherwise, knowing McKenzie's personality, she would be sure to get revenge on him.
01:02:03 Claire's mouth was wide open.
01:02:05 She could not believe what he had just said.
01:02:08 "Charlie, are you ridiculous?"
01:02:11 Claire scolded angrily.
01:02:13 Charlie was hitting on her, but he would throw her under the bus?
01:02:17 "Claire, don't pretend to be innocent here and lie to her face.
01:02:22 Ever since you found out that I'm the general manager here, you suggested that I pay you
01:02:27 to be my live-in mistress.
01:02:29 But I was trying to tell you that I am committed to my wife, McKenzie.
01:02:34 I was telling you that I could never leave her."
01:02:37 His expression was filled with anger and grievance.
01:02:41 Anyone who didn't know would take it seriously.
01:02:44 "Nonsense!
01:02:45 You were suggesting all these things to me.
01:02:48 Don't be ridiculous!"
01:02:50 Claire was about to go ballistic.
01:02:52 She never thought that Charlie could stoop so low like this.
01:02:56 And Amy and the others also surrounded him, but no one dared to speak up for Claire.
01:03:02 They were very clear in their efforts to support Charlie in this situation, and if anyone asked
01:03:08 them, Claire seduced Mr. Hughes.
01:03:11 They would lie through their teeth.
01:03:13 However, they didn't dare to say anything to McKenzie.
01:03:17 "Ha!"
01:03:19 McKenzie laughed as she raised her hand.
01:03:21 She viciously slapped Claire's face, causing the corner of her mouth to split open and
01:03:26 blood to seep out.
01:03:28 "Bitch!
01:03:29 You think you can treat me like that?
01:03:32 If you don't collect yourself in a few minutes, my husband will come back and make you regret
01:03:36 everything!
01:03:37 It's not like that!
01:03:40 Listen to my explanation!"
01:03:42 Claire felt so wronged that she was on the verge of tears.
01:03:46 However, McKenzie slapped her furiously once again.
01:03:50 "Let you explain?
01:03:52 Explain what?
01:03:54 Even when we were in school together, you pulled the same shit.
01:03:58 You tried to seduce him then, too.
01:04:00 I didn't expect you to be so desperate to hold on to a crush for so long.
01:04:05 Ha!
01:04:06 It seems like it wasn't enough time for you to reflect on your actions.
01:04:10 You didn't learn how to be a proper wife, and you're the same slut you always were."
01:04:16 Every time she spoke, she would slap Claire in a different spot on her face.
01:04:21 In a matter of seconds, her face was a bloody mess.
01:04:25 On the side, Amy and Jessica revealed an expression of joy.
01:04:29 "Claire, I bet she didn't plan on meeting as cruel of a woman like this, right?"
01:04:35 "Men, tie this bitch up!" she ordered with her hands on her hips.
01:04:40 Although she had slapped her a dozen times, she still felt she still had to keep torturing
01:04:45 her.
01:04:46 The moment she finished her sentence, the two security guards took out a rope with a
01:04:50 cold expression and walked over to Claire.
01:04:53 "McKenzie, what are you doing?"
01:04:56 Claire was frozen with panic.
01:04:57 Her face was pale.
01:04:59 She sneered but didn't utter a word.
01:05:02 The two black-clothed guards then tied the rope around Claire's body.
01:05:07 She didn't have enough strength to fight the two burly men and was quickly tied up
01:05:10 in the rope.
01:05:11 "You bitch!
01:05:12 Why can't you seduce your husband?
01:05:15 I think you need to shut the hell up!"
01:05:18 Her eyes flashed viciously as she ordered, "Bring this bitch to the wolf cave!"
01:05:23 The wolf cave?
01:05:24 Amy and Jessica couldn't help but look at each other.
01:05:28 Why did they offer to bring them along?
01:05:31 The rest of the people looked at each other confused.
01:05:34 Only Chad and Charlie seemed to have recognized what she was talking about, and their eyes
01:05:39 showed fear.
01:05:41 In less than two minutes, the group arrived at a small hill at the forest's edge.
01:05:46 Halfway up the mountain, there was a pitch-black cave entrance, which looked rather sinister.
01:05:52 Around the cave, there was an iron wire wall no more than four feet tall.
01:05:57 Caution signs were warning against the high voltage of the gate, obviously keeping something
01:06:02 dangerous in the cave.
01:06:04 Two other security guards were wearing anti-biting suits outside the metal wire wall.
01:06:09 They were holding onto hunting rifles as they patrolled the area.
01:06:13 When they arrived at the outer perimeter of the iron wall, the bloodthirsty animals smelt
01:06:18 human flesh, and a few black wolves that were about six feet tall shot out of the hole like
01:06:24 lightning.
01:06:25 They bared their fangs at everyone through the fence, and they trembled at the vicious
01:06:29 look in the wolf's eyes.
01:06:32 "Back!"
01:06:33 The guard of the black wolves raised his head towards the sky and roared.
01:06:37 The ear-piercing howl of the wolf shook everyone's eardrums, sending chills down their spines.
01:06:44 This was the first time most of them had seen a large wolf.
01:06:48 Although a guard stood to the side with a hunting rifle to protect them, they were still
01:06:52 frightened.
01:06:53 Some of them were scared to shake, holding their bladders in fright.
01:06:57 At this moment, Mackenzie shifted to a vicious and excited smile, and her beady eyes grew
01:07:04 black with evil.
01:07:05 "Bring this bitch out," she said as she licked her lips.
01:07:10 "Let me go!"
01:07:13 Claire cried out in despair.
01:07:15 At this moment, how could she know what she was going to do to her next?
01:07:20 Claire was brought in front of Mackenzie, and she once again raised her hand and slapped
01:07:24 her face viciously.
01:07:26 "Bitch, don't you like to seduce other people's husbands?
01:07:30 Today I will let you seduce something till I feel satisfied.
01:07:34 Do you see those male wolves?
01:07:36 In a sense, they are no different from human men.
01:07:40 Since you can seduce men, I believe you can also seduce them."
01:07:44 Her face was filled with a perverted smile.
01:07:47 She then pointed at the cave, and said, "Bitch, don't say that I didn't give you a chance.
01:07:53 I'll let you in later, if you can't make them fall in love with you."
01:07:57 "Well," she paused for a moment, and then she laughed maniacally.
01:08:02 "Then you slut, die in here!
01:08:06 Ha ha ha!"
01:08:07 Seeing Mackenzie acting so crazy, everyone felt their scalps go numb.
01:08:12 This woman, is there something wrong with her?
01:08:16 This time, even Amy and Jessica were concerned.
01:08:19 Although they were jealous of Claire, they were not that jealous.
01:08:23 However, this Mackenzie woman was not present in the head.
01:08:27 She wanted to beat Claire to death.
01:08:30 Furthermore, it was not enough to kill her.
01:08:33 She wanted to make her suffer in humiliation before she died.
01:08:36 This was too vicious.
01:08:38 Jessica and Amy shuddered simultaneously.
01:08:41 They suddenly realized that they were as innocent as puppies compared to Mackenzie.
01:08:46 Chad couldn't help but look at the wolves with bloodthirsty eyes inside the cage.
01:08:51 His lips were pale.
01:08:53 Mackenzie had gone crazy.
01:08:55 She had gone crazy!
01:09:03 -
01:09:04 EPISODE 130 PREMONITION
01:09:05 "What are you waiting for?
01:09:08 Hurry up and throw this bitch in!"
01:09:11 Mackenzie glared viciously at the few stunned security guards.
01:09:15 They were stunned.
01:09:16 She had never requested that they perform such a vicious act.
01:09:20 However, they were still employees of hers, and if they didn't follow her commands, they
01:09:25 were sure to be the next victims in the wolf cave.
01:09:29 "Honey, that's not what you mean, right?
01:09:32 You wouldn't kill anyone."
01:09:34 It was not because he felt sorry for the woman.
01:09:36 He wanted to stop this because Etheridge would take the fall for her actions.
01:09:41 She would hurt the family's reputation yet again.
01:09:44 Mackenzie never takes the blame for her actions, so Charlie would have to take the fall again.
01:09:49 "What?"
01:09:50 Her cold gaze was like a sharp blade that instantly shot at her husband.
01:09:56 "Did you feel sorry for this bitch?"
01:09:59 "No, no," he shook his head and said.
01:10:02 "Wife, how could I even look at her when I have you as my wide?
01:10:06 This bitch tried to seduce me and destroy our relationship, so she deserves to die.
01:10:12 But we can torture her another way.
01:10:15 It's a bit extreme to kill her."
01:10:17 "There were too many people here today.
01:10:20 If she really sent Claire into that cave, she would be sure to die.
01:10:24 With so many people watching, it would be leaked to the press.
01:10:28 There was not much that the Etheridge family could do to cover their own asses if that
01:10:33 happened."
01:10:34 "You piece of trash.
01:10:36 I'm not even afraid.
01:10:38 Why would I be afraid of you?"
01:10:40 As she spoke, she kicked Charlie in the stomach and knocked him down.
01:10:45 "Throw her.
01:10:46 Throw that bitch in there.
01:10:48 This girl's friend is Mackenzie Etheridge.
01:10:51 If she is turning against her, she has to go.
01:10:54 She doesn't have a membership.
01:10:56 If you don't throw this gross bitch in there, she will think you're weak."
01:11:01 Mackenzie screamed as she put her hands on her hips and looked arrogantly at the security
01:11:05 guards.
01:11:06 Hearing this, the few of them did not hesitate any longer and went to throw Claire into the
01:11:12 cage.
01:11:13 A few wolves were staring at her with bloodthirsty eyes inside the wall.
01:11:18 They were wild animals, merely a part of the food chain.
01:11:23 Claire was just a piece of meat with shining hair in their eyes.
01:11:27 "Let me go!"
01:11:29 Her face was filled with fear and despair.
01:11:33 She shouted as loud as she could, but the guards' firm grip made her lungs grow tight.
01:11:39 She had no way out.
01:11:41 "Please, please, Kevin, save me!" she sobbed softly.
01:11:47 Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears.
01:11:49 In this desperate situation, the only person she could think of was Kevin.
01:11:55 "Kevin, can you save me?"
01:11:58 In fact, Amy and Jessica were both thinking about the same thing.
01:12:03 "Where's your useless husband?
01:12:06 Wasn't he talking smack earlier?
01:12:08 Where is he when you need him?"
01:12:11 Jessica couldn't help but ask.
01:12:12 "He probably sneaked away after seeing McKenzie."
01:12:16 She actually felt a little sympathy for Claire.
01:12:19 She trusted Kevin so much, but he ran away alone at the most critical moment of her life.
01:12:26 "What a piece of shit!
01:12:28 Before he was talking all big, saying he would make McKenzie pay for what she did to Claire.
01:12:34 Ha!
01:12:35 Look at where he is now!
01:12:36 Nowhere to be seen!"
01:12:38 Jessica shouted angrily.
01:12:40 She had her suspicions that Kevin was just pretending in front of Chad.
01:12:44 However, he was scared away too easily, leaving his wife here by herself.
01:12:51 Chad clenched his fists and wanted to step forward several times to save her.
01:12:56 However, when he thought about his current career in McKenzie's hands, he took a deep
01:13:01 breath to calm himself down.
01:13:04 He felt bad for her because she wouldn't be in this situation if she had even a mediocre
01:13:09 husband.
01:13:10 At this moment, Kevin had just arrived in the conference room.
01:13:15 As soon as they entered, a few well-mannered young men stood up and looked at him.
01:13:20 There was a surprise in their eyes, but there was also a hidden sense of disdain and doubt.
01:13:25 Could the man dressed in rags standing in front of them really be such a powerful man?
01:13:32 Impossible.
01:13:33 Although they were skeptical, they still wore smiles respectfully on their faces.
01:13:38 "Mr. Bennett, you're here!"
01:13:41 Paul was the first to speak.
01:13:43 He was not as stunned at the sight of him since he had been previously introduced to
01:13:46 Kevin's interesting sense of style.
01:13:50 Even if he did not have his family's riches, he was still one of the most amazing fighters
01:13:54 in the city.
01:13:55 "Yes," he responded indifferently.
01:13:58 He didn't know why, but at this moment, his heart was shrouded with a vague sense
01:14:04 of unease, as if something had happened somewhere.
01:14:08 Seeing Kevin's absent-mindedness, Paul couldn't help but frown.
01:14:12 He thought the staff at the manor didn't manage to entertain him well enough.
01:14:16 He was, after all, the son of a well-known family in the city, and he held a lot of power.
01:14:23 Normally, if they saw them in the outside world, they would have to treat them with
01:14:27 respect and fawn over them.
01:14:30 But this man in front of them didn't even bother to look at them from the moment he
01:14:35 entered the door.
01:14:36 Did he have a reason to act like this?
01:14:39 "Mr. Bennett, did the garden staff offend you?"
01:14:43 His clothes were not compatible with the dress code of Willingham Manor, so they could understand
01:14:47 if someone had talked down to him.
01:14:49 Kevin shook his head and said with a smile, "No."
01:14:53 "Didn't you say I would be meeting some shareholders?
01:14:55 Let's begin now.
01:14:56 I'm in a hurry."
01:14:57 He had a nagging feeling that something was going to happen.
01:15:01 Kevin also began to think of Claire, but he had just left her for a few minutes.
01:15:06 So what could happen to her?
01:15:08 In a hurry?
01:15:09 A few of the young men who were already dissatisfied with him upon hearing his words felt anger
01:15:15 rising in their chests.
01:15:17 If they were angered by Kevin ignoring them, the fact that he hurried them completely infuriated
01:15:22 them.
01:15:23 In Los Angeles, Mr. Abdul had all the power.
01:15:27 They did not take anyone else seriously.
01:15:30 Even Paul would not dare to ignore them like he did now.
01:15:33 As for Kevin, he did not care what these men thought of him.
01:15:37 He felt like something was off, and he needed to figure out why.
01:15:40 "If you are in a hurry, we can leave right now.
01:15:44 We don't ask permission to meet with anyone who does not deserve it, and you have lost
01:15:48 the privilege."
01:15:49 A cold voice sounded.
01:15:52 Paul's expression changed drastically as he turned around and berated, "August, what
01:15:57 are you saying?
01:15:59 What Mr. Bennett said about meant nothing like you think.
01:16:02 He really has something urgent to deal with."
01:16:04 [MUSIC PLAYING]
