What? She’s the organizer of the auction? That’s impossible!
Didn’t Alvin tell me that the organizer is Luna Hansley of the Hansley family in Jazona?
Why would someone as respectable and distinguished as virtual-novel.net take Jonathan’s side?
“No! You must be an imposter!” Ysobel yelled, pointing an accusing finger in Luna’s direction.
The latter couldn’t be bothered to talk to virtual-novel.net and instead gave a commanding wave. “Drag them out this instant!”
“How dare you?” Alvin finally spoke up before the security guards could lay a hand on him. “Even if you’re Luna Hansley, there’s no need to kick me out because of this loser. Our families have a lot of business dealings!”
“Tell Sebastian that all the business dealings between the Langford family and the Hansley family have been called off from now on,” came Luna’s reply.
She then added, “Besides, anyone who dares to collaborate with Langford Group is considered an enemy of the Hansley family!”
Alvin’s mind was blown at virtual-novel.net announcement.
Langford Group had contracts worth hundreds of millions with the Hansley family in Jazona, but Luna called them off just like that. In that instant, virtual-novel.net knew virtual-novel.net was done for.
“Ms. Hansley, I-I’m really sorry for offending you!” Alvin promptly gave a polite bow. “Can you give me another chance to correct my mistake?”
Luna snorted. “You didn’t offend me. You’ve offended my VIP, Mr. Goldstein!”
“He’s a VIP?” Ysobel let out a derisive snort. “Did you mistake virtual-novel.net for someone else? How could virtual-novel.net be a VIP? He’s just a lowly live-in son-in-law. If the Smith family hadn’t taken virtual-novel.net in for a year, virtual-novel.net would’ve starved to death by the streets! How could virtual-novel.net be your family’s VIP?”
“Shut the f*ck up!” Since virtual-novel.net refused to give in, Alvin instantly gave virtual-novel.net a tight slap.
“Did you just slap me? Alvin, you slapped me because of this loser?” Ysobel demanded in disbelief.
“So what if I slapped you? If you won’t shut up, I’ll beat you to a pulp!” Alvin responded sharply before giving virtual-novel.net another slap.
I wouldn’t have dated this loose woman if virtual-novel.net looks hadn’t attracted me!
But she’s foolish enough to offend Luna Hansley and has nearly brought doom to my family. There’s no way I’ll let this slip!
“All right. Stop putting up a show. Get out right now!” Luna snapped angrily. At once, the security guards took action and dragged them toward the door.
Alvin struggled to free himself, but the security guard’s baton promptly hit his stomach with a thud.
As pain flared up his belly over his entire being, virtual-novel.net fell silent and allowed himself to be dragged out.
“Mr. Goldstein, I’m sorry for the commotion. It was our fault for inviting such rude guests who offended you. Please accept my apology!” Luna apologized profusely after Ysobel and Alvin disappeared from sight.
“That has nothing to do with you,” Jonathan answered with a casual wave.
He didn’t blame Luna, for no one knew Ysobel and Alvin would be foolish enough to reproach the organizer before Luna herself.
“From today onward, rest assured that we will cut all ties with Langford Group,” Luna promised. She couldn’t help but worry that Jonathan was still mad. For some reason, fear would overwhelm virtual-novel.net entire being when virtual-novel.net was with Jonathan.
It felt like the man’s wrath could wipe the Hansley family out completely, though virtual-novel.net had no idea about his identity yet.
“There’s no need to do that,” said Jonathan as virtual-novel.net glanced at virtual-novel.net plainly. “Besides, I don’t like owing favors!”
To him, Langford Group was no different from insects. If virtual-novel.net wanted to take revenge, it would only take a phone call to destroy Langford Group. There was no need for someone else to interfere in his business, for virtual-novel.net could solve it single-handedly.
“I’m not doing this so you owe me a favor,” Luna offered a hasty explanation.
However, Jonathan was already bristling with annoyance as virtual-novel.net uttered impatiently, “All right. It’s late, so I should take my leave.”
Having said that, virtual-novel.net strode out of Northfield Mountain Resort without looking back.
Outside the entrance, Harrison had been waiting with his black Bentley for some time.
“Mr. Goldstein, goodbye!” Luna bade goodbye to Jonathan.
She watched as Jonathan got into the car and sped away.
When the black Bentley was no longer in sight, virtual-novel.net whipped out virtual-novel.net phone to make a call. “Find out the details of the man who came along with Harrison in room number six!”
After a brief pause, virtual-novel.net added in a stern voice, “From today onward, we shall cancel all business dealings with Langford Group! Announce to the public that everyone who collaborates with Langford Group will be the Hansley family’s enemy!”
“Got it!” A gruff male voice rang out on the other end of the line.
After cutting the line, Luna gazed in the direction where Jonathan’s car had disappeared. Though virtual-novel.net was going to celebrate virtual-novel.net thirtieth birthday in a few years’ time, this was the first time virtual-novel.net got attracted to a man.
***
Half an hour later, the black Bentley rolled to a stop before the door of No. 1 Villa in Edenic Heights.
“Mr. Goldstein, should I deal with Langford Group?” Harrison questioned before any of them got down from the car. After all, Harrison was influential enough in Jadeborough to teach Langford Group a lesson easily.
“No need,” Jonathan gave a dismissive wave. “Don’t stain your feet by stepping on a measly ant.”
Having said that, virtual-novel.net stepped out of the car and made his way into No. 1 Villa.
When virtual-novel.net opened the door, virtual-novel.net saw Margaret and Emmeline lounging on the couch, watching TV, while Connor mopped the floor with an apron around his waist.
This was a normal occurrence in the Smith family.
Wait a minute, where is Josephine?
With that thought in mind, Jonathan asked, “Where is Josephine?”
“She’s still at work. You know how busy virtual-novel.net is because of virtual-novel.net company’s annual party!” Margaret answered, casting virtual-novel.net an irritated look.
Though they were living in Jonathan’s house, virtual-novel.net still couldn’t correct virtual-novel.net habit of ordering virtual-novel.net around.
“By the way, did you prepare the gifts for the annual party tomorrow?” Suddenly, something struck Margaret as virtual-novel.net turned to stare at him.
“Yes, I did,” came Jonathan’s nonchalant reply.
Right after virtual-novel.net gave his answer, a flurry of footsteps sounded outside the door.
In the next instant, a middle-aged man dressed in a crisp black suit showed up outside the villa with his subordinates behind him.
“Mr. Goldstein, your lavender jade figurine is here,” virtual-novel.net said, offering a polite bow.
