00:00Then Kevin turned to walk out.

00:03Lily stared at Kevin.

00:04She didn't know what to think.

00:06It was like he'd become a completely different person, a complete stranger to her.

00:11Everyone stood there in shock silence.

00:14As Kevin walked towards the door, Jason shouted,

00:16Stop him!

00:17Don't let him leave!

00:19But no one moved.

00:20They all wanted Kevin to leave and for this horrible scene to be over.

00:25Jason saw that no one was helping him and ran over to grab Kevin by the shoulder.

00:29Didn't you hear what I just said?

00:31You can't leave!

00:33Right then a white van stopped abruptly outside the restaurant's entrance.

00:38Then multiple powerfully built men jumped out of the van, holding baseball bats and

00:44armed to the teeth.

00:46It looked like the party was about to get even worse.

00:54Grandma Jones' birthday party had just been completely ruined by the fight between Jason

00:58and Kevin.

00:59It started when Bradley asked for Grandma's blessing to marry Lily, who was obviously

01:03already married to Kevin.

01:05Unfortunately for Jason, Kevin kicked his butt in the fight so Jason called up a friend

01:10to help.

01:11Jason was relieved to see his friend who showed up pretty quickly with a few of his toughest

01:16bodyguards.

01:17Drake, thanks for getting here so fast.

01:20The man gave a slight nod.

01:22What's going on, Jason?

01:24He pointed at Kevin and said, Drake, this is the piece of crap I told you about.

01:29One of the Joneses recognized Jason's friend.

01:32Drake, that's one of the toughest crime lords in the city.

01:36Wow, someone else said, Jason sure has friends in low places.

01:40Look how fast he got over here with just one phone call.

01:43Lily heard this and got scared for Kevin's safety.

01:46Kevin, run, she shouted.

01:49Lily knew that if Drake got his hands on her husband, he'd end up dead or worse.

01:54But Kevin didn't budge.

01:55This made Lily even more desperate to help him.

01:58She stood up and started to move toward him.

02:01Before she got two steps, Bradley stopped her.

02:03Lily, what are you doing?

02:06Drake's a very dangerous man.

02:09Everyone was afraid to interfere because of Drake's vicious reputation.

02:13Drake took a drag from his cigarette and casually threw it on the floor.

02:17Who's the bastard who did this to my buddy, Jason?

02:20When Jason heard this, he walked over towards Kevin.

02:24He could feel the eyes on him and knew that everyone was impressed that he had such a

02:27powerful ally on his speed dial.

02:29He'd be bragging about this for years.

02:33But no one could imagine how Jason and Drake ever got to know each other.

02:37It was simple.

02:38The first time they met, Drake almost beat Jason to death in a sparring match at the

02:43gym.

02:44That set the tone for their relationship.

02:46Ever since then, Jason tried his best to make friends with the man.

02:50He figured it was better to have him as a friend than an enemy.

02:54So every month, he would give Drake a wad of cash to keep him on his good side.

02:58As long as Jason kept this up, they'd still be friends.

03:01Quick!

03:02Get out, Kevin!

03:04Lily shouted, but Bradley stopped her again.

03:07By now, Drake was standing face to face with Kevin.

03:10So you're the one who hurt my friend, Drake snarled.

03:14You've made a huge mistake.

03:16So are you his friend or just his guard dog, Kevin said coldly.

03:21Do you know how long it's been since someone talked to me like that?

03:26Drake put his hand on Kevin's shoulder and leaned closer.

03:29A long time.

03:32Kevin didn't even flinch and replied, I don't care how anyone talks to you.

03:37This is between me and Jason.

03:40Jason was happy to see this.

03:42He was sure that Drake would finally get Kevin out of the way for good and things could go

03:46back to normal.

03:47He knew that Drake was a man who feared nothing and no one.

03:52This is going to be good, he thought to himself.

03:55Man, you've got cojones, Drake said as he narrowed his eyes.

04:00As he looked at Kevin, he got the feeling that he looked familiar, but he just couldn't

04:04remember where he'd seen him before.

04:07It doesn't take cojones to know what's not a threat, Kevin replied coldly.

04:12This really got everyone's attention.

04:15How could Kevin talk to such a dangerous man like this?

04:18Grandma Jones scowled but didn't say anything.

04:21She wasn't used to dealing directly with people like Drake.

04:25Jason clenched his fists like he wanted to take a swing at Kevin.

04:29This guy obviously hasn't heard that you just don't mess around with Drake Cook.

04:33Let me teach him a lesson for you.

04:35Kevin glared at Jason, then turned back to Drake.

04:40Your last name is Cook?

04:42Kevin slowly took his phone out of his pocket.

04:44Do you happen to know Mitch Cook?

04:47Drake's face froze when he heard this question.

04:49He gave Kevin a puzzled look.

04:52Most people didn't know just how well Drake knew Kevin's friend.

04:56Kevin spoke into his phone.

04:58It's me Mitch.

04:59I'm here with a mutual acquaintance.

05:02Drake is standing right in front of me.

05:04Kevin then handed his phone to the man.

05:07Drake hesitated a moment and took the phone.

05:10While he talked, his expression changed from anger to confusion to worry.

05:15Drake hung up the phone and reached out to hand it back to Kevin.

05:19As usual, the Joneses began whispering to each other, trying to figure out what they

05:23had just witnessed.

05:24I can't believe my eyes.

05:27What's wrong with Drake?

05:28Who did Kevin call?

05:30Kevin looked the man dead in the eye and asked, Are you sorry now?

05:34Yes, Mr. Williams.

05:36I'm very sorry.

05:38Drake's forehead had started to bead with sweat.

05:41Of course, Kevin had just called his friend Mitch to set Drake straight.

05:45The message he gave him was short and sweet.

05:48If he touched a hair on Kevin's head, he would lose his own head.

05:53Jason was confused.

05:54Drake, what are you waiting for?

05:57Seeing that Drake still wasn't giving Kevin a beating, Jason couldn't hold back any longer.

06:02He decided to take another swing at Kevin.

06:05But before his fist even made contact with Kevin's face, Drake grabbed Jason and threw

06:10him to the ground.

06:12Then Drake picked Jason up by his tie and slapped him in the face.

06:17What kind of mess have you gotten me into?

06:19Drake kept cursing while he slapped Jason over and over.

06:23But Drake, what did I do wrong?

06:26Jason asked, holding back the pain.

06:28You really screwed up this time.

06:31Drake spat on the floor.

06:33Then he turned to the men who had come with him and gave them an order.

06:36See if you can knock a little sense into him.

06:39They immediately surrounded Jason and started dragging him towards the side exit.

06:44Grandma Jones was distraught at the sight of this happening to her favorite grandson.

06:49She looked over at the other family members for help.

06:51A few of them started to move hesitantly towards Jason.

06:55They weren't really sure what they could do, but they knew they just had to obey Grandma

06:59Jones.

07:00But they stopped dead in their tracks when they saw Drake pull a knife out of his jacket

07:04and say,

07:05If anyone lifts a hand to help him, he'll answer to me.

07:10The few young Jones men who had stepped forward immediately took a few steps back after hearing

07:15Drake's threat.

07:16Talk about a rock in a hard place.

07:19They didn't want to disappoint their grandmother, but they were also powerless against this

07:23man.

07:24Then Drake turned back towards Kevin and spoke calmly.

07:28Mr. Williams, again, please accept my apologies.

07:32Everyone was stunned to hear this.

07:34When they saw Drake apologizing to Kevin, they were very confused.

07:38Was this real?

07:40Kevin didn't reply.

07:41He just gave Drake a deadpan stare.

07:44I'm very sorry to have bothered you, Mr. Williams.

07:47Drake apologized once more.

07:49My phone, please, Kevin said.

07:52Drake handed him his phone and began to speak.

07:55Sir, but Kevin cut him off.

07:58Yeah, whatever.

07:59Then he impatiently took his phone back, turned around, and left the restaurant.

08:04When Kevin was gone, Drake let out a long breath and told his men to stop slapping Jason

08:09around.

08:10Then he walked over and spoke to Jason, who was lying on the floor in a daze.

08:15Don't ever use me like that again or you'll regret it for whatever remains of your useless

08:20life.

08:21Then he took his men and left.

08:23When the van had driven away, the Joneses slowly walked over and surrounded Jason.

08:28Jason, are you alright?

08:30Grandma Jones asked him.

08:32Her voice was filled with concern.

08:35Suddenly one of her other grandsons rushed into the room.

08:38Grandma, Mr. Cook is pulling up outside.

08:41They looked out the front window and saw two black SUVs and a Maybach limousine stop at

08:47the curb.

08:48A young man in a suit quickly hopped out and opened the passenger door of the sleek limo.

08:53A man in a nicely tailored Armani suit stepped out and calmly walked towards the door.

08:59The Joneses were surprised and not for the first time that day.

09:04Grandma Jones is really important.

09:06Even someone as powerful as Mitchell Cook has come to see her on her birthday.

09:10Grandma Jones didn't know what to think at this point.

09:13She had only met Cook once before at the Whistler Hotel.

09:17They didn't have any relationship to speak of.

09:20She just knew him by his reputation.

09:22Plus, she knew that she hadn't invited him.

09:25So what did he want?

09:28As he walked up to her, his bodyguard stood back at a respectful distance.

09:32With a smile on his face, he inquired, Ms. Jones, may I ask if Kevin is here?

09:38As soon as he said that, the crowd fell silent.

09:40I'm sorry, Mr. Cook, Kevin has already left.

09:45She replied in a very embarrassed tone, Oh, well, since Kevin isn't here, I won't take

09:50much of your time.

09:52I understand that today is your birthday.

09:54Please accept this small gift.

09:57Cook snapped his fingers and one of his bodyguards walked up and placed the gift on the table.

10:02After Cook and his men left, the Joneses sat there in silence.

10:06Some of them had turned pale.

10:08At the moment, nobody was very happy about how the party had turned out, and no one was

10:12in the mood to open the box to see what the gift was.

10:16They filed out and headed to their cars to return to the Jones family mansion.

10:21Everyone was still thinking about what Kevin had said before he left, and they were very

10:25worried about what might happen next.
