Chapter 121
Selena took two steps forward and explained the situation to Mr. Meyer.
"He's right, Mr. Meyer! These people deliberately made a fuss. You have to do something!" Some procurement staff came forward to justify and echo.
"Mr Meyer, I'm just here to have a drink with a customer. When you recruit, you say that it will be a part-time job of three hundred dollars per day! I don't want to sell my body!" The woman sobbed like a dying banshee. She was crying in real pain. "B—but they—"
Mr. Meyer did the unthinkable; a loud slap was delivered before he could finish his words.
"Like a wooden block!"
"What do you mean, Mr Meyer?" Selena pouted, anger raging within her.
Mr. Meyer laughed. "What's wrong with you guys? This is our internal company!" Mr. Meyer replied. “In addition, shouldn't you already know what will happen when you come here to work? Moreover, they are our regular VIP customers! It's not like they don't pay you. Thousands and thousands will be given to you. So what if you sleep with them for just a day or two?" Mr. Meyer sneered in an arrogant tone and stared intently at Selena. "You broke our door into pieces and beat our VIP guests to bloody pulp. Now tell me: what should I do?" he reprimands.
"Good shameless one." Selena gritted her teeth in anger, and her expression showed her annoyance. This was the first time he had met such a disgusting b*stard. "He's your staff. That's what you tell her when you recruit, and there's no need to sleep with guests! You are now committing a crime ..."
"Blah-blah. Really ******* which is chatty." Mr. Meyer looked at him with a hateful gaze. "It's your fault. We were at our place, while you came here and hurt our precious guest! Just pay us 10 million for the loss!"
"What's? 10 million?!" The Drake Dynasty Real Estate employee took a deep breath at that amount. Not many artifacts were damaged; just a door and a few vases near the door. They did not expect the other party to ask for 10 million!
"You... It's total blackmail. Moreover, these people were the ones who started the war first! If the loss has been paid, those who have to pay! Why ask us?" Selena tried to negotiate with them. He could almost feel his blood boiling in his veins.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry, everyone! I'm involving you! My fault! I'm sorry!" The woman could not hold back her tears anymore. Tears like waterfalls flowed down his cheeks. He shouted as if the entire world had collapsed. "It's all my fault! It's all my fault! I dragged you to hell with me!"
Sonia and Felicia exchanged glances, and it was as if sunlight flooded their souls. They smile internally. This Mr. Meyer is no ordinary person. The couple will have to bid for a sunrise farewell tomorrow if they can't take 10 million this time.
'God has answered my prayer! Huh! Who asked you to play superhero?' Sonia inwardly sneered triumphantly.
"You can't buy it this time, can you?" the tattooed man scoffed in a brash and arrogant tone when he realized that Mr. Meyer and his men were siding with him. "This chatty little bitch is truly amazing; even more charming than a whore! Mr. Meyer, help me. If this woman wants to sleep with me, you can ask for less compensation!" She looked closer at Selena, saliva coming out of her lips.
Mr. Meyer then laughed. "of course! Three million will do it!"
This tattooed man not only gave him a lot of profit under the table, but because of them, KTV has increased a lot in sales every month! They are their top VIP guests. Compared to them, Jack and the others were a group of white-collar staff from a company who came here just for dinner. Mr. Meyer did not want to offend the gang for these poor village people.
"Dream!" Selena rebuked and set a hateful gaze on them. A boiling rage swelled up within him.
"Darling, can I teach them a lesson? If I hit them, I'm so afraid you'll think that I'm a cruel and vicious man!"
Chapter 122
"I—I hope you can..but isn't the person behind them very strong? What should we do when..." Selena bit her plump red lips seductively, her eyebrows frowning slightly.
"Darling, you just have to allow me to do it. If they dare to err on me, it's like fighting with the Drakes, right?" Jack chuckled, whispering into Selena's ear.
Selena's eyes immediately sparkled at his words. He's right! He is now a high-paid elite bodyguard employed by the Drake family. Besides, Miss Tanya has a lot of respect for Jack. If something bad happened to them, it would be fine as long as the Drake family would help them. There's nothing to be afraid of!
"Are you not just a good couple?" Mr. Meyer mocked them coldly when he saw them whispering affectionately to each other.
"This motherfucker's trying to fight, huh? We're related to the Clark family. You know; the Clark family, the second most influential family in town. Do you recognize your stupidity now? If you press our button —"
The slap!
A loud slap landed brutally on Mr.'s face. Meyer before she could finish her sentence.
Mr. Meyer spewed out a mouthful of blood; two teeth flew out from his mouth covered in blood.
"Fuck! How dare you!" Mr. Meyer has never been hit before. He raked in the money, and he was even the brother-in-law of the Clark family's number one killer! It is because of this relationship that he became a manager and lived as if he were the president of the country. Moreover, people like the tattooed man gave him many benefits every day, and it further increased his self-esteem. How could he know he was going to be beaten up by someone today? Irritation and anger immediately surged within him. He cursed and charged towards Jack, raising his leg to give a powerful kick.
As soon as he lifted his leg, Jack found an opportunity to launch a hard blow at his groin.
"Aah!" It was the sound of a broken egg. The man grasped his private area and squatted down. Each small movement sent ripples of pain into his groin; the pain penetrated through it with such terrifying intensity that he almost fainted.
"Down him! What are you guys waiting for? Hit him!" Mr. Meyer, on the ground as he gritted his teeth, screamed in pain. "Friends! Attack!"
30 Men stormed toward Jack, and some of them carried machetes. However, even though the other parts are won with numbers, they fall in less than a minute. These people received even harder blows than the ones before. Their injuries are much worse.
"Jesus Christ! This is awesome!" A male procurement staff gulps, shocked by Jack's fighting abilities. Jack is a top class fighter, no doubt!
"Looky! He actually met the pay of 20 million!" Some female employees looked at Sonia with envy and hoped to have a husband like Jack. Not only was she charming, but she also had a manly aura that gave off a sense of security.
"Quick! Go and find Brother Ken!" Mr. Meyer ordered some waiters gathered here for some popcorn-worthy entertainment.
The servants dispersed, and a man with seven to eight people stepped in.
"Sister-in-law, help me send this b*stard to hell! This bastard came to make a fuss in our place!"
Dan Jameson's arrival defuses Mr.'s anger. Meyer is hidden. Hope bloomed within him. And Jameson is no ordinary man; he's the number one hitman in the Clark family. There was no problem at all for him to fight against hundreds of people, alone. Moreover, Dan earned his current rank and proved his worth in the Clark family with his fists!
Dan's anger came alive when he heard that his brother-in-law had been beaten to the brink. His anger surged even higher when he heard that the other party defeated most of their men.
Her brother-in-law had been brash and arrogant all this time, but because of her sister, she could only turn a blind eye to her deeds.
Chapter 123
As Dan glanced in the direction indicated by Mr. Meyer, his face twitched strongly as if he was having a severe stroke. Awareness came to mind And that this time, this beautiful brother-in-law had provoked someone whose fur should not be ruffled at all! A few days ago, he heaved a sigh of relief when he was told that Young Master Clark brought in a competent marshal to exterminate Jack, Jack, but Young Master Clark then returned with an unsightly pale face. He roared that Marshal Dennis Howard was completely useless, while Marshal Dennis initially claimed with great confidence that he would send Jack to the grave. The two of them hid in a room and discussed warmly. In the end, the marshal convinces Young Master Clark not to offend Jack at all; the Clark family will dig their own graves if they provoke him.
And once again dumbfounded at this news.
He knew Jack was strong, but he did not expect that even the marshal would not dare to touch a single strand of his hair. It is likely that Jack White is the King of War.
"Hi, Dan. A small world!" Jack chuckled and continued, "So, what are you going to do?"
"What should we do? We sent you to see the Grim Reaper, b*stard! You haven't met my brother. He's famous for wiping out hundreds of assholes like you!" Mr. Meyer sneered in an arrogant tone. "Hmph! You are good, I admit! However, you are just a worthless mosquito in front of my brother!" He continued in a brash tone, and he stood a few feet away from Jack when the pain finally subsided a little.
"You're his brother?" Jack was surprised, looking at Dan. "No, he's just my brother-in-law. He followed my sister to call me brother," Dan replied in a cold and icy voice.
Suddenly, he swung his palm onto Mr.'s cheek. Meyer.
"Sister, why did you hit me? A—Didn't you hit the wrong guy? I'm your sister's husband, your sister-in-law! Shouldn't you beat him? Confusion enveloped his head, and at the same time, he could feel a slap that stung his face, he groaned in pain.
"That's right. Hit you! You just know how to leverage the Clark family name to profit every day and make trouble everywhere. Do you know who he is? He's someone who's even Young Master Clark and Young Master Clark. I dare not touch! You.. You obviously left your brain in your mother's womb!"
And turn away from Mr. Meyer. He would explode with anger at his stupidity.
"What's? No way! He's someone that even Young Master Clark doesn't dare offend?"
"Yes God. Someone as powerful and influential as Young Master Clark was afraid of angering Jack. Especially Mr Meyer? Miss Selena's husband, who is she?" The few employees standing behind Selena whispered amongst themselves. They were completely dumbfounded by the situation tonight. Selena's husband, Jack White, doesn't seem to be an ordinary person.
"A—What? No, this is impossible!" At this moment, Mr. Meyer actually knew that he was playing with fire, and suddenly, the color of his face was drained. He looks pale.
After pondering his thoughts, Dan walked up to Jack and bowed slightly. "Mr White, I'm sorry. What happened today was all because I didn't manage my men well, and it caused trouble for you and Mrs White. I sincerely apologize and hope you will forgive my brother-in-law.life!"
Mr. Meyer was so frightened that he dropped himself to the ground after hearing Dan's words. Will this man really kill him just because of a small matter?
Jack thought for a moment and replied, "Alright. I could have saved his life, but I wanted his hand. He probably wouldn't have learned otherwise."
"Bring me a machete!" And bite his lips. He can't do anything but follow Jack's orders. "Hold him!"
He walked to Mr. Meyer with a sharp shiny machete in her hand, and she lifted it into the air.
"T—no! Brother, please don't! I am the husband of your beloved sister! Mr. White, please, please! Please let me go! I won't do it again, I swear!" Mr. Meyer was so scared that he almost wet his pants. He was pressed to the ground by the men and as he wailed for mercy.
And turned to observe Jack's expression. There's nothing. Then, he gritted his teeth and swung the machete.
Chapter 124
"A—Ah!" A hysterical shout pierced through the atmosphere; it was the kind of cry that made everyone's blood turn cold. Most people are so scared that they close their eyes.
"Darling, let's go!" Jack grabbed the woven bag and swung it over his shoulder. He looked at the part-time worker and said, "Do you still want to stay here? Go, now!"
The woman was astonished at the sight before her, and only after Jack called out to her did she return to the real world. He quickly follows Jack and the others as they leave KTV.
"Never come to work in such a place again!" Selena reprimanded. "Why did you think of working here from the beginning? What are you doing?" he asked, his forehead wrinkled as he did so.
The woman looked at Jack and Selena, and she knelt before them. “Thank you so much for saving me! My name is Jessica Fair, and I work at the Bureau of Labor and Social Security. However, since my father was ill, I had to work side by side to earn and pay for his operating expenses. . We have sold our house, but we are still short of money. I have no choice but to work here to earn money."
Tears welled up in her eyes as she thought about her father's situation. “Their hiring announcement clearly states that this job is only necessary to drink with the guests, but not to sleep with them. I—I really did not expect to meet with this b*stard group on my third day. I. "Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes as she described her experience. He looked even more pitiful and pitiful.
The employees looked at each other, without words, sighing. They believe Jessica wouldn't have taken this path if it weren't for her father.
Selena is always kind. He turned his head towards Jack and without hesitation, spoke, "Jack, why don't we help him? This is too sad. I don't think I can sleep tonight if we just leave."
A small and gentle smile hung on Jack's lips. "Honey, this beautiful heart of yours is medicine for my veins. I thought about it too, but I never thought you would talk about it first!"
Jack dropped the woven bag in front of Jessica and said, "Take this. Don't work in a place like this anymore. The money in this bag must be enough for your father's operation."
The observers' eyes widened into a sphere the size of a plate; they were dumbfounded by Jack's behavior. They thought Jack would give 10 to 20 grand to the woman, but she handed the whole bag to him. There's 1.4 million freaks in it!
With such a large sum of money, Jessica was not only able to pay for her father's operating expenses, but also enough to redeem their house from the bank.
"T—Thank you, Sir! I can't thank you enough. Thank you!" Jessica got up and bowed to Jack, expressing her gratitude repeatedly.
"Darling, let's go..." Jack smiled gently. He then held Selena's hand and walked over to their electric scooter.
Selena was a little confused. He wanted to help the woman, perhaps with 10 to 20 thousand from Jack's woven bag. He never anticipated that Jack would hand the entire bag over to the woman!
Only until they get close to the electric scooter does Selena jerk back to reality. "Jack, aren't you being too generous?" Selena asked in astonishment. "There's so much money in that bag, and you gave it all to him?" Pausing for a moment, she then continued, "Don't tell me Jessica's stunning appearance has captured your heart, and that's why you did that."
"And how could she win against my beautiful wife in terms of beauty? Besides, didn't you ask me to help him?" Jack laughed, his mood brightened.
"W—Well, I did ask you to help her, but I'm not asking you to give me all the money!"
Chapter 125
Selena was at a loss for words. Jack treated money like nothing; it was as if the pile of banknotes were toilet paper rolls to him. He was too generous to the woman.
"Well, how much should I give him? Should I take it back?" However, after thinking about it, Jack changed his mind. "Forget it. There's no reason for me to collect the water out of the bottle!"
Selena kept silent and just gave him a dry smile. "That's it. My husband earns 20 million a month, anyway! We'll be rich after two months you work for the Drake family, and become a billionaire after a year or two."
"Honey, we're not short of money now ..."
"Keep bragging, especially now that your pockets are almost empty." Selena clicked her tongue. "You have to learn how to better manage your finances, okay? I wouldn't have spent so much money on dinner if it wasn't to lower Sonia's ego."
"No, no, no! You have to start preparing to be an amazingly rich woman, honey," Jack argued. "In addition, I dream of having another wedding and taking you out on a private jet in the future!"
"Are you sure? I don't think that's a good idea, because we now have a four-year-old. Isn't it ridiculous if we have another wedding?" They kept joking while riding on an electric scooter. Joy and happiness bloomed within Selena like warm sunlight melting her icy heart.
Selena slowly realizes that love has grown between them as if they have just started dating. Maybe this is what people always say, 'falling in love with a partner after marriage'.
…
On the other hand, after a series of horrific events, Jessica did not stay for long and immediately left KTV. He called a taxi and got into it, and he soon arrived at the old community residential area. He returned to his home with a woven bag in his hand.
"Lil brother, why did you get Dad out of the hospital?" Jessica was shocked by her father's presence. His father, who was supposed to be cared for in the ward, lay in a dilapidated old rented house.
“We've spent every penny, but there's still a 30 thousand bill from the hospital waiting for us. The doctor said that we did not have to pay the bills, but our father could no longer be hospitalized. We have no choice but to bring her back" Jessica's mother replied. "Your father will have surgery the day after tomorrow. How's now? How can we pay for 100 thousand operations when we can't even pay the outstanding balance of 30 thousand?"
Jessica's sister, Jack Fair, also sighed. "It's all my fault! I'm so useless that I can't get a high-paying job! Not only the cost of our father's surgery, but I can't even support our family's expenses! Even if we manage to pay for the surgery costs, what about the post-operative healing costs? That's his own bill!"
It was only then that Jack realized that his sister was in a disheveled state. Her hair was as disheveled as seaweed that was stranded after the storm, and her clothes were torn on the side. "It's weird, Brother. Shouldn't you be done with your work at two in the morning? It's just a little after 10pm, so why did you come back early?" She asked.
"Lady Luck has obviously left me today." Jessica let out a long sigh and continued, "I met a bunch of b*stards today at work, and they wanted me to do it..." He fell silent before continuing, "Luckily, the kindly White Master saved me from their dirty hands. !If you were there with me, you would know how amazing Mr. White really is! Dozens of stars fell to the ground without even touching the corner of his clothes. I feel like this White Master is no ordinary human being. Young Master's subordinate Clock or Clarke—whatever it was—fear him!"
"I don't know what's in that bag either. Madam White asked Mr. White to help me, and she handed this bag to me," Jessica replied in a puzzled tone.
"This woven bag..is full of garbage, right? Still.it's not true. Will you go to a fancy place to have fun with a bag like this?" Jack unzipped the woven bag as he spoke without thinking to himself.
His jaw almost slipped before he closed his mouth.
"My lord, it's money! T—It's too much money!"
"What money?" Jessica's jaw and her mother gaped at her words and immediately went to see the contents inside the woven bag. Hot tears filled their eyes in an instant. With this amount of money, their father could be saved!
Chapter 126
At the KTV entrance, the dragon-tattooed man—Ned— advanced with a group of men behind him.
"F*tc. I've never been so angry before. I can't get out of here until I'm satisfied!" Ned clenched his teeth, his expression smelling of threat. The anger within him continued to burn hot and bright.
"B—Bos, maybe we should just forget about it," one of his subordinates stuttered after thinking about the matter. "Didn't you hear what Dan said? Even Young Master Clark wouldn't dare
to provoke that guy!"
"And he's the best fighter in the Clark family, you know?" the subordinate continued. "But look what happened. He bowed and scratched in front of Jack White's name. He even cut off his brother-in-law's hand without hesitation!"
A glimmer of hesitation flashed across Ned's face when he heard this. However, a smile quickly adorned his face as he said, "Hmph. Why should we be afraid? We don't have to cower in fear just because they do. What nobleman? They are titles that give themselves.compared to us, the Dragon God?"
"The boss is right," another subordinate chimed in with a cruel tone. "There's no way we're gonna let this go. Not this shit, especially. Wh why? Do the nobles think they are the best? Do they have more men than us?" At this point, he paused for a bit before he added, "In addition, rumors say that Dan can beat a few hundred people by himself. Pshaw! We heard rumors from others, but I've never seen him in action myself, so who knows if he actually dropped a few dozen alone. The legend gets more ludicrous as word spreads."
"That's right! All the nobles have is money. They can't beat us men in terms of raw labor. They only use their fists when they fight; we have people. If we all gang up on that guy, there's no way he'll be able to escape!"
Another evil person stepped forward, his face purple with bruises and a swollen nose. "You're right! That useless shit! I'll ask Master Howard for help! We can't let this slide."
Ned nodded his head. With a grin on his face, he commented, "Heh. The little bastard's wife had an extraordinary figure. More importantly, he was a very pleasant creature!"
"Boss, I think that woman is Selena Taylor, who was secretly dubbed the Queen of Beauty of Eastfield among the rich young masters here! Aren't you going to offend Taylor's family if you do something to her?"
A criminal raised a worry after pondering over the matter for a while, his forehead wrinkled with worry.
"So who is he? No problem at all. I heard that this woman had been kicked out of the Taylor family five years ago. As long as I just play around and don't kill him; even the Taylor family won't dare to provoke. Mr Howard! After all, I had heard that his cousin was against him, and he couldn't get a single job! Heh. It's okay as long as he doesn't die!"
The more she talked about it, the more Ned felt that there was an irresistible allure to Selena that could not be found in any other woman. That is the allure of a mature woman.
"really? In that case, there will be no problem at all! Huh! Let's go see Master Howard now!"
The evil man smiled wickedly when he heard that. "Boss, can we watch while having fun with that woman? I want to see the appearance of this Beauty Queen from Eastfield because she is completely dominated by you!"
"Well! Doesn't matter. I'll let you all see how great I am!" Ned laughed out loud and brought his men to meet Master Howard. Howard's teacher had a tremendous influence in the city. He is the owner of many entertainment outlets and illegal banks. It's not hard at all to figure out where Selena lives.
…
"Jack, something's wrong."
Chapter 127
At this moment, Selena looked as if she had finally thought of something. He patted Jack on the shoulder from behind. "wait. Stop that!"
Jack immediately pulled the electric scooter to the side. "What's wrong?"
"And Jameson was a great fighter, yet he didn't even raise his fist at you. He apologized to you immediately. And he actually told Mr. Meyer that you were someone that even Young Master Clark couldn't provoke. Wh why? Who are you really?" selena asked, the look on her face turned into a suspicious frown.
Jack smiled wryly after hearing that. "I'm a veterinarian; that's why. And have fought with me before, even though it wasn't a great fight. We're in a panco competition. He lost and cut his own finger because he knew his strength was very low. I have to admit that the man is a real man. Anyway, that's why Young Master Clark is afraid of me ... "
Here, Jack paused for a while before continuing, "Think about that. Even the best fighters Clarks doesn't suit me. Isn't it natural for Young Master Clark to be afraid of me? will it just eliminate him? I have the power to do it!"
"Sleeve wrestling?" Selena had a strange expression. She never thought that her husband would use such a method to prove his strength to others.
"M-hm! I just left after he lost too. I never expected that person to actually cut his finger. So the fact that I didn't kill Meyer tonight is considered an act of compassion to preserve her dignity!" Jack shook his head as he spoke.
"You're amazing, Jack!" Selena looked at her husband's face. He then commented, "The man is a real man, and it is a pity that he followed the wrong master. Ken is definitely one of the worst people I know. He wasn't so bad before, but I learned how the guy was really a monster after he tried to destroy our house with his goons!"
Jack chuckles. "Now, do you feel like you have found yourself to be an amazing husband?" The grin on his face never disappeared.
Slowly, Selena's charming red lips caught her attention.
"Darling, why don't we have any more kids?" she said. "I was so drunk that night five years ago. I can hardly remember what happened. All I remember is that you initiated it!"
Selena's cheeks instantly blushed. "Don't talk about it anymore. It's so embarrassing. I was angry at my grandfather back then because he married me to anyone. Sure, it was a fake marriage, but the act was proof of marriage. How can I do that?" 'Selena Taylor, just pretending to be married?"
"I'm sorry, I also want to save my mom. I have no choice but to do that." Jac sighed slowly. "Don't worry, Selena. The marriage five years ago is regrettable. You don't have to say anything; I understand. And don't worry—I'll have another grand wedding for you!"
He pressed his lips. "alright. I'll hold you back for that."
Here, he thought of something else. "But Grandpa's 70th birthday is imminent" he said, frowning. "My mother also insisted on giving gifts. We'll get in trouble if we can't pay that much money. After all, you've just started your job, and your salary might be earned in a few days. Looks like we won't be in time for Grandpa's birthday."
"Don't worry, honey. It doesn't matter if money can solve the problem!"
…
"What's? You're all beaten up?" An old man stood in a villa, a streak of white hair adorning his head. He looked at the tattooed man in front of him. "Who is that? Who would dare to hit my men? Does he have a death wish?"
Chapter 128
"Yes. Punk is pretty good. We are no match for him because we have too few people with us!" Ned immediately grumbled, "Master Howard, that bastard is practically spitting on your name. We told him that we were your men, but he told us that you were nothing but trash!"
"That bastard! He dares to underestimate me, great Mr Howard?" It was probably the first time that Teacher Howard had been completely ignored. He was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
He had used his fists to conquer the throne he was sitting on today; the Dragon God Clan was considered one of the most prominent clans in the city. They were not at the top of the food chain, but no one dared to provoke them carelessly. These underground organizations usually did not interfere in any affairs related to nobles as well. They do not want to cause unnecessary fights.
That was why he could not help but utter a sentence after he finished speaking. "By the way, is that bastard a noble?"
"No. Don'worry. Punk is just a soldier; a veterinarian. In other words, he was an impulsive person; the type who liked to stick his nose in places he didn't invite."
"A lot of vets these days" Ned added. "There are many types now!"
Master Howard did not bother to ask about the entire situation. He had already decided that the punk was going to die after calling him 'trash'.
He thought about it for a moment. "How many people do you need? I'll ask Scar to take his men with you!"
"50—" Ned's eyebrows wrinkled. He then shook his head. "No, no. 50 is too small a number, and that bastard is too skilled. We need at least 200, and we need them armed."
"200?" Master Howard was surprised by the suggested number. He never thought that punk would be this skilled.
"That's right. I heard that punk served in the field for five years. He had fought death many times before. He's very skilled! Of course, I understand if we can't bring a lot of people," Ned commented. "100 should be enough. But I'm just trying to prevent a worst-case scenario here."
"All right then!" Master Howard nodded, his gaze turning to a man by his side. There was a threatening scar rather than flowing down the man's face. "Wound, take your men and arm them" he said coldly. "You'll be under Ned's command for this operation!"
"Yes sir!" The scar-faced man wasted no time on pleasantries. He prepares his men and leaves with Ned.
…
By then, Kylie had fallen asleep for a long time. Meanwhile, Fiona and the others are in the park, panting waiting for Jack and Selena to return.
Joan, who was beside Fiona, observed the expression of another woman. "Fiona, please don't be so angry," she said gently. "My son isn't in any trouble, I'm sure. He's not that rash!"
Fiona spit on the ground. "Don't just call me Fiona as if we were friends. Your son fought with Drakes' bodyguard. Does that not cause problems? We saw everything ourselves. He's involved in a big deal, but don't drag us Taylor into it!"
Xena immediately puffed out her chest as well. "That's right. Selena even called us in the afternoon, asking Aunt Fiona to give her 300 grand for dinner. Is that possible?" he commented with a patronizing tone. "Did he really need 300 grand to treat his comrades to dinner? It's clear that Jack has made himself drown in horse dung!"
Chapter 129
Ken Ben wrinkled. "It's late at night, but Jack hasn't come back yet. Could he have been kidnapped and not been able to go home? 300,000 is not enough to compensate the Drake family. It didn't matter if he just beat up the bodyguards because they were still from the Drake family!"
"No. .. is impossible." Joan became even more worried when she heard this. He was pacing around anxiously but he could do nothing.
Both Jack and Selena didn't return even though it was late at night. Did something really happen to them?
"That's Drake's family bodyguard, not your bodyguard. 300,000 should have been sufficient compensation if they were ordinary guards, but no one was sure if they belonged to Drakes...
"I was just worried because Selena didn't come back either. Was Selena taken too? What should we do if they ask for a ransom?" Andrew smokes next to him. His heart began to pound fearing for his daughter's safety.
"Ransom? If they ask for ransom, we'll just save our daughter. That jerk can do nothing but cause trouble. I certainly didn't use my money to pay for his mistake!" Fiona said, panting.
"Fiona, please don't say that. Jack is a father. Besides, he risked his life for your daughter without hesitation. You can't just shut up and let him die!" Joan is afraid the Clark family will kill their hostages in a wave of anger, so she begs and begs as much as she can.
"Hmphs. He asked for it, didn't he? It was very clear that Miss Tanya was only teasing him when she did not let him in. He could have turned around and gone home, right?
"I think he's gone mad because of greed. Dare to storm straight into the Drakes family's land! And when their bodyguards tried to stop him, he beat them up. Wasn't he the one who asked for it?" Xena said before Fiona could answer. His hands were folded in front of his chest.
"Yes, exactly! He asked for it himself!" Fiona nodded her head.
"He.he was pushed here by you!" Joan almost cried. "He wouldn't be so desperate for money if it weren't for you. He'll have to give you 10 million dollars for Grandpa Taylor's 70th birthday, and you'll just recognize him as your son-in-law, won't you? Ridiculous ! Of course he would act impudent!" he snapped, his tone dripping with hatred. "She needs money because she wants your confession. He wants your blessing!"
"Fuck I care!" Fiona's emotions soared. "Your son is a jerk who beats up Drakes' men, and you dare blame me? Did I tell him to beat up someone else?"
"Why are you making such indiscriminate accusations? Can't you see who's wrong here?"
"Whatever it is, it's not my mother's fault" Ben chimed in. "Even if Miss Tanya did not lie to him, he would have to wait at least a month before getting his first month's salary, right? And Grandpa's birthday is three weeks away. Hmph. Can he still do it? After all, his salary was 20 million per month, not 30 million. He needs 30 million!"
"I don't care. If something happens to my son, and if you don't save him even if you have the money to do it, I'll kill you!" Joan looked straight at Fiona, the ferocity in her eyes terrifying.
Fiona staggered backwards in shock. "Really******that's crazy," he gasped. "Make such baseless accusations... And he dared to say something so absurd! Your son has caused nothing but pain for our family over the past five years. Every day for the last five years. And you say something like that to me? Get a life!"
Chapter 130
Panic gripped Joan's chest and words stuck in her throat. Jack did everything for her. He only approved of this fake marriage and replaced Ivan in the military because he wanted him to receive proper medical treatment. He didn't know any of this when he was locked up in a sick bed. It was only after he was discharged from the hospital that the doctor handed Jack a letter to him, and he learned of the whole situation. For five years, he was also terrified. He was afraid Jack would die on the battlefield. Many people also told him that his son had died. He wouldn't have stayed silent for years otherwise. He could only pray for his son while waiting for him to return.
At this moment, they heard the slow roar of the approaching electric scooter. Jack and Selena are on the scooter, finally coming home. They parked the vehicle in the park.
"Jack, are you okay? I heard you beat up Drakes' bodyguard. Really true?" Joan immediately jumped forward and asked Jack, overwhelmed with concern.
"Oh, I did beat them up, but don't worry. Everything is fine!" Jack smiled as he spoke indifferently.
"seen? See it? He himself admitted it! How could he be okay after beating up Drakes' bodyguard?"
"Yes. You've done nothing but drag the Taylor family with you for the last five years, Jack. I suggest you leave. How can everything be fine after you provoke the Drake family?" Xena looked at Jack with a contemptuous look. "You're an adult, but you don't know what you can and can't do. You even made Selena help you extort 300,000 from her mother. That's a ransom, isn't it? Thankfully, Aunt Fiona was smart enough not to comply. Otherwise, it would be useless!"
Jack could not help but smile wryly at Xena's condescending attitude. "Now I understand why Selena doesn't like you so much. You really talk a lot for someone who is an outsider in this family. Why do you care so much when you're Ben's girlfriend?"
"You—" Xena was so angry that she suddenly did not know how to retaliate.
"Hmph! Jack White, are you trying to rebel?" Fiona put her hand on her hip. "I still haven't recognized you as my son-in-law. You're an outsider here, you know that? Xena has been with my son for two years now. She's practically her fiance, and she's already our daughter-in-law. He's not an outsider!"
"Fuckin' thick!" Xena immediately raised her chin as Fiona spoke for her, her confidence returning. "Even if Uncle Andrew and Aunt Fiona haven't acknowledged me, I'm practically Ben's heart and soul. Besides, Ben and I are also not far from the wedding! Besides, Ben would be rich if it wasn't for you, and I wouldn't have to suffer like this!"
"Tell me, how did you two manage to get Drake's family to let you go? I'm thinking you give those few hundred thousand to them first, so they let you back to take more money. Did ya? Even if they wanted money, I would never pay a single penny to compensate the bodyguard. Not for a piece of trash like you!"
Fiona notices that Jack is standing glued in place, completely silent. He carried a luggage bag and stretched it towards him. "We just bought this. Think of this as our last gift to you. Take it and go; the further the better. You might still be living like this, that's if the Drake family can't find you!"
Thinking for a moment, he then added, "Oh, and take your mother with you. He's also an outsider in our family!"
"Ma, what are you talking about?" Selena couldn't take it anymore after watching the entire exchange. He stepped forward and grabbed the suitcase. "Jack did beat up the Drakes' bodyguards, but seriously, everything was fine. Miss Tanya not only allowed him to continue working tomorrow, but she even arranged a private villa for him at the Drake family estate. He would be able to rest there during his break, and he could even stay there if he didn't want to return!"
"I—Mustahil. You lied! He beat up Drake's family bodyguard. How can everything be okay?" Fiona was completely shocked, a dumbfounded expression on her face.
