No. 1 Supreme Warrior

Chapter 301 – 350

Chapter 301 “So?” Ken let out a bitter laugh before probing further.

Flynn cracked an awkward laugh before continuing, “So, I told my bodyguards to capture the lady so I could kiss her as a form of payment. I feel like this isn’t much of a big deal. However, I didn’t expect her bodyguard would be that powerful, and it took him no effort to take care of mine.”

“Who’s that lady anyway? Do you know her name?” After some thought, Ken asked.

Since his cousin was having a vacation and something happened to him in this city, he feared that his cousin’s parents would be upset if he did nothing for him.

“Well, I don’t know. I didn’t ask!” Young Master Flynn cracked a bitter laugh.

“Then how can I stand up for you?” Ken glared at him. “I’ve no idea who that person is, and even if I bring my men over now, I’m pretty sure they’re gone. Do you think they’ll still be waiting for you there? Just think of it as having bad luck. It’ll be much better to think about how to deal with them if you meet again next time!”

“Alright then. I’ll save it for the next time we meet, since the faces of both the bodyguard and the lady were seared in my memories anyway. Best they hope to never run into them next time, or I’ll have them know that I—Flynn Bane—isn’t one they can simply mess with!” Young Master Flynn clenched his fist and swore furiously.

After accompanying Miss Tanya to shop for three to four hours, jackie noticed it was still early, so he was ready to take a good break in the room the Drake family arranged for him. The room Miss Tanya arranged for him was a room on the second floor in a mansion.

Miss Tanya’s cousin, Yvonne used to live in this mansion. Yvonne lost her parents at a very young age, hence she was raised by Old Master Drake. This woman enjoyed having vacations and loved to travel to all sorts of places and gamble, thus she rarely returned to live here. The room Miss Tanya arranged for him was right next to hers.

Although the Drake family had accommodation arranged for jackie, jackie did not live here in recent days. He would return home every day to keep his wife and daughter company. This was the most blessed thing he could do in the entire world.

After lunch, he would come upstairs to take a nap whenever jackie had nothing to do. When jackie was about to enter his room, he could hear sounds of flowing water coming from the washroom at the end of the hallway.

He frowned. “That’s odd. I turned the tap off when I washed my hands earlier. Could I have forgotten to turn it off? A faulty tap, maybe?”

As jackie thought about it, he went to the washroom at the end of the hallway to investigate. He noticed the door was not shut properly and that there was a huge opening. jackie was certain that no one was living here, so it should either be a faulty tap or he had forgotten to turn it off.

However, as he was about to open the door, the sound of flowing water stopped and the washroom door swung open while a woman walked out. jackie was stunned at what he saw as this woman had just finished showering and was actually…

Chapter 302 The last thing jackie expected was a naked woman without a towel wrapped around her. She was merely drying her wet hair with a towel before walking out. She was momentarily stunned when she saw him at first.

“Ah! Creep!” she yelled from the top of her lungs.

She saw jackie turned his back to her, and she seized the chance to bolt into her room and locked it shut.

“It seems Miss Tanya’s cousin, Yvonne is back!” jackie chuckled helplessly; he did not expect to see her bare like that.

He had to admit Yvonne had a stunning figure. Seemingly two to three years older than Tanya, she looked a lot more mature unlike the princess-like Tanya.

jackie decided to return to his room, grimacing due to the sheer embarrassment. It was unsure if that woman would mind or not. This never happened to jackie before. Fearless was he when braved through innumerable enemies on the battlefield, but this? He had no idea how to even start damage control.

After a moment, Yvonne stormed out furiously. She changed into a long white dress and went straight to jackie’s room while furiously staring at jackie. If a single gaze could murder, it seemed jackie would have died more than a thousand times over.

She held a pair of scissors before pointing it at jackie and barked, “Who the hell are you, creep? How did you appear in the Drake family’s household? If you don’t come clean, I—I’ll kill you!”

“I’m a bodyguard here, and this room was arranged for me by Miss Tanya. She said I could rest in this room whenever I feel tired and that I can also live here!” jackie explained after letting out a helpless chuckle.

“Bodyguard?” She looked at jackie suspiciously before looking at his bed.

She soon realized the covers on jackie’s bed were stacked neatly; every corner was perfectly aligned. It was better aligned than stacks of dried tofu. This was not something a normal person could do.

After a moment of deliberate thinking, Yvonne asked, “You were a soldier?” After all, only returning veterans could keep such a habit.

“Yeah!” jackie nodded.

“Being a bodyguard after being discharged is normal. It seems you’re not lying to me after all.” Yvonne stared at the man. She initially was furious at him, but as she thought of this man risking his life on the battlefield and fending off the enemy, she calmed down. A person like this might not be a creep. However, when she thought about how she was never once seen by any men the way he did, she felt displeased and humiliated to the greatest extent.

“Yeah, I didn’t lie to you! I don’t like lying to people!” jackie let out an awkward laugh. The event that happened just a while ago made him bashful.

“Then tell me honestly: Have you seen everything earlier?” Yvonne asked as she gritted her teeth.

“Yeah, all of it!” jackie felt awkward.

“You…you b*stard. You should be saying no; that you’ve seen nothing at this moment!” Yvonne stomped her feet furiously, angered at his all-too blunt confession.

“I told you that I don’t like lying to people. Besides, you told me to be honest!”

Chapter 303 jackie laughed awkwardly before adding, “However, I realized a problem when I saw you earlier!”

“What problem did you find, creep?!” Yvonne felt like she could pass out from sheer anger. Was this jerk going to point out any flaws on her body? She was not that shabby; not too fat nor too skinny.

“Yes, there is a problem…” After some thought, jackie nodded.

“Ahh! I’ll kill you!” Yvonne could no longer hold herself back. Had this jerk said he did not see anything, she would have pretended nothing had happened since she assumed he knew to pretend and carry on. She did not expect him to be far too honest. He was blunter than a metal rod!

All of a sudden, she lunged at him with scissors at hand. In her mind, killing him would be like getting rid of a no-name bodyguard, and her family—even her cousin—would not say anything about it.

Alas, how could a weak and frail woman be a match for jackie? For his sake, jackie stood up immediately and instantly grabbed both of her arms. With a light squeeze, the scissors in Yvonne’s hand fell to the ground.

“Ah!” Yvonne whimpered in pain. In her pain, she lost her balance with her slippers on, and she fell onto jackie. The force made them stumble together and landed on the bed.

“You… You creep!” Yvonne could not believe she was on a stranger’s bed with this creep. Her cheeks were completely flustered, and she felt completely speechless.

“Lady, you have to understand that it was you who charged at me. I was merely defending myself, okay? I didn’t expect you to slip!”

This unreasonable young lady was making him feel awkward. His wife was much better and would never behave like this woman who twisted facts.

“Besides, who wouldn’t bring a change of clothes and walk back to their rooms right after their bath? Also, I wasn’t the one who opened the door in the first place. You walked out on your own. You can’t blame me for this, right?”

“Ah!” Yvonne was pushed to her limit. This jerk dared to bring that up! “How should I know that anyone would be here?” she argued. “I was living alone here even back then, and even the maids won’t ever come upstairs!”

Yvonne was going up the wall. Was today a cumulation of eight lifetime’s worth of bad luck? She immediately flipped over and straddled on jackie’s body. She wanted to strangle this jerk to death. However, both of her hands were caught by jackie. She could not break free from his grip.

“Damn, Cousin… You’re progressing a little too fast, don’t you think?” The last thing Yvonne expected was her cousin at the door. Both jackie and Yvonne were petrified at that moment.

jackie looked at Yvonne on top of him while Yvonne stared at jackie underneath her. Their faces turned red instantly.

“Hurry up and release me!” She roared before coming down from jackie’s body, her face searing red. All she wanted to do earlier was strangle jackie to death, nothing else. However, that position she was in would make anyone cough up blood.

“You’ve misunderstood, Miss Tanya, nothing was going between us. We’re just, well, wrestling!” jackie frantically sat up and fixed his clothes.

“Don’t misunderstand us, Cousin. It’s not what you think!” Yvonne felt embarrassed.

“I know… You guys fell in love at first sight, right?” Tanya chuckled playfully and added, “I didn’t expect you to be so dominant, Cousin. Still, you’re both careless while doing things like that. You guys should close the door. It’ll be embarrassing if anyone had seen you guys!”

Yvonne was speechless. She was doomed since ‘I knew what you did’ were written all over Tanya’s face. Judging from her looks, pleading and proving her innocence would no longer work.

Chapter 304 “Shut your own damn door! What nonsense are you spouting about, Tanya? Am I that kind of person?” Yvonne was going crazy from being so infuriated. “It doesn’t matter how handsome he is,” she countered vehemently, “I won’t just sleep with him when we had just met. I’m not an obsessive lover!”

“I don’t buy it. I trust what I see, and I saw you were literally on top of him. That can’t be fake now, right?” Tanya giggled and added, “Oh, Cousin, you must be cursing about how I entered in such a wrong moment, and if only I came a little later.”

“Miss Tanya, you misunderstood us, really. Nothing happened between us, and you already know that I have a wife!” jackie helplessly explained. He thought that Yvonne might have a mental breakdown if he did not resolve the misunderstanding.

“Yes, yes, yes! How can I possibly like him? I don’t even know his name!” Yvonne let out a sigh of relief and it seemed jackie was nice enough to help her explain.

“Do you even require to know that person’s name when you love someone? What if you choose to elope with him, Cousin? I can’t do what you did earlier! That was too bold!” Tanya continued to tease her as she commented, “Had I came in a little later than this, I’m guessing you might even be pregnant, no?”

“Tanya Drake, I’ll strangle you!” Yvonne was completely flustered and was beyond speechless.

“Alright, alright, Yvonne. Tell me then: Why are you in that position if you’re not making babies with him?” Tanya joked in between laughter.

“I was just trying to strangle him. Strangle him to death!” Yvonne immediately glared at jackie furiously.

“Why? You guys had just met, and you’re treating him like this? It shouldn’t warrant such a response, right?” Tanya had a puzzled look on her face.

“You see, this creep…” Yvonne wanted to explain everything but found herself tongue-tied.

Would she want to tell Tanya about how that man saw everything the moment she finished showering? How embarrassing it would be for her if Tanya knew about it?

“Because what exactly?” Tanya was even more confused when Yvonne stopped in her sentence. It was uncertain what exactly had happened between these two.

After some thought, Yvonne explained, “Nothing. I’m just saying, how can this man live here when I’m also living on the upper floor? He can’t live here. What if this man turned out to be a creep, and what

should I do if he barged in my room in the middle of the night?”

A thought then occurred to her and she barked at her cousin, “Tanya, how can you assign a bodyguard to live in this mansion? Not to mention, a room opposite mine, damn it!”

Tanya sighed. “Dear Cousin, this was arranged by my father. I had no say in the matter!”

“Besides, you have no idea how powerful jackie is. Living right next to you gives you a sense of security, you know? Also, he’s extremely capable of fighting! I was out shopping today and was bullied by people since I only brought jackie out with me. He single-handedly took care of that man’s bodyguards!” Tanya explained.

“Okay, fine, he’s powerful. Still, he’s a man and he’s living right across my room. Is this appropriate? What if lust begets him someday? Wouldn’t I be…”

Chapter 305 Yvonne did not like jackie living here since she hated seeing that man.

What jackie spoke next took her aback: “Don’t you worry; I’m not interested in you. Besides, my wife looks ten times more beautiful than you, so do you think I’ll try anything? Would I, a veteran, do something as scummy as assaulting a woman?”

“You!” That remark infuriated Yvonne. Not only had this jerk seen everything, but he also implied she looked shabby and was not as beautiful as his wife.

Who would not take a few more looks at her whenever she was out shopping? He should know that. Yvonne was extremely confident in her own appearance since those long legs of hers were rather beautiful.

“Is she now? I’m quite curious to know who your wife is. If there’s a chance in the future, I want to see for myself just how beautiful she truly is to be ten times more beautiful than me!” Yvonne spoke, her arms

crossed at her chest. This jerk was obviously boasting. How could a bodyguard marry someone more beautiful than her?

jackie chuckled at her statement. “We’ll see if there’s a chance!”

Checking the time, he then said, “It’s getting late now, it’s already 5 P.M. I’ll be heading home now. I originally intended to take a break for a moment but was startled by this wild woman, so I didn’t get to nap.” After he was done speaking, he headed right out the door and swiftly went downstairs.

Befuddled, Yvonne looked at her watch on her wrist. “Isn’t…isn’t it only 4.30 P.M.?” she pointed out. “How can he get off work just like that? Moreover, shouldn’t he let his captain know and ask if he agrees to it or not? How is this a bodyguard? He’s living like a young master now!”

Yvonne scoffed. “Fire him. A bodyguard like this has to be fired. Tanya, you have to fire him!”

Without much to console her cousin, Tanya spoke with a smile, “Yvonne, your hair isn’t even dried yet. You just finished your bath, right? Don’t get so worked up. Your refusal to meet him wouldn’t happen to be due to him walking in while you were showering, now would it?”

Yvonne blushed heavily after hearing that statement. “Impossible,” she denied vehemently. “Tanya, don’t you spout nonsense like these, you got that? I’ll get mad if you keep making baseless statements!”

“What are you so nervous about? I was just joking with you. Also, I trust that you’ve locked the door as you bathed. He couldn’t have walked in on you, no?” Tanya laughed and added, “He’s no ordinary bodyguard, you know. His combat skills are incredibly powerful, and not even Harvey is a match for him. More importantly, we suspect that he shares a very close bond with the God of War!”

“God of War!” Yvonne gasped the instant she heard her cousin mentioned the God of War. “Are you talking about the Goddess of War, Lana?” she sputtered.

“Yes, her!” Tanya nodded as she spoke.

“Is it now? How can a veteran share any form of relationship with the God of War? Besides, if that was the case, why would he even work as a bodyguard anyway? Someone of such high status wouldn’t be a bodyguard, right?” Yvonne was still slightly skeptical about that creep having any form of relationship with the God of War.

“Let me explain,” Tanya started. “Back then when the God of War was returning, my father took a lot of effort to learn which private jet she was on to pick her up. He did not expect that jackie would disembark the jet with the God of War…”

Tanya then continued, “So, we thought that even if that person isn’t a God of War, at the very least he shares quite the unique bond with the god. My father stated that pleasing him would be the same as pleasing the God of War. Hence, him working here with us is a good thing.”

“A monthly wage of 20 million is a little too much now, is it?” Yvonne pouted her lips as she said that.

“It’s not much. My father even said that he’s only working here because he was in a good mood. This price was actually quite low!” Tanya chuckled and beamed, “I trust my father’s judgment as well!”

Out of the blue, a servant from downstairs called out to Tanya. “Not good, Miss Tanya. A fight is about to break out!”

Chapter 306 “A fight?” The moment they heard that, both Tanya and Yvonne stared at each other before they rushed downstairs.

The moment they just got out of the main entrance, they could see a muscular man glaring at jackie.

“It’s the head commander, Kyle Jones!”

“This man revels in fighting people, and the moment he learns about a slightly more powerful man entering the Drake family, he’d want to spar with him. Otherwise, he’d constantly bug him!”

Tanya felt all too helpless when she noticed the head commander, Kyle.

jackie was a person the Drake family considered and treated special, but they could not be too obvious about it. Would Kyle hurt jackie? If he did, it would be bad.

Of course, the thing about ‘pleasing jackie’ must be kept private at all times, only known among family members.

“Alright, Kyle. I heard he happens to be really powerful. You can go crazy on him!” Yvonne said as her eyes lit up as excitement overwhelmed her. In a sparring match between two powerful people, a tap would signal the end of the match. However, there was a saying about fists being blind and some people would get hurt if both of them fought. It would naturally make Yvonne very happy to watch jackie getting beaten up.

“What on Earth are you talking about, Cousin?” Tanya rolled her eyes at Yvonne. Turning to Kyle, she spoke, “Kyle, he’s already off work, so don’t cause any trouble to him. Just let him get off work. He’s also a bodyguard to the Drake family, so there’s no need to spar as you please!”

“Miss Tanya, you know me. Whenever I meet a powerful person, I’d feel the need to compete. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to sleep. I heard this guy defeated Harvey, so I want to give it a shot to see who’s stronger between us!”

As Kyle stared at jackie, flames of battle could be seen burning bright in his eyes. He seemed slightly excited.

“So, you’re Kyle.” jackie had a calm look on his face as he continued, “I heard about you two days ago, and you truly are quite the maniac. You’d fight anyone you see. If my guess is right, you might be no match to the Drake family’s Three Major Guardians!”

The moment Kyle heard that, the corners of his mouth twitched. “Yes, I’m no match for them,” he admitted. “I know they’re powerful, but I’ve challenged them before and I’ve lost satisfyingly!”

Pausing for a moment, Kyle continued, “However, I haven’t challenged you yet, so I want to get this over with to see who’s more powerful!”

“I’m already a retired veteran, and I don’t like killing!” jackie stretched and gestured to him with his finger before saying, “However, you’re in my way of me going home. You’re wasting my time, and this annoys me. Moreover, if I don’t fight a person like you, you’d cling to me like brown sugar. Therefore, I can only agree to your challenge!”

“Alright. Since you’ve agreed, don’t mind if I do!” Kyle cackled. With a stomp of his feet, he lunged directly at jackie.

He clenched his sandbag-sized fist and charged straight for jackie. It was releasing a very terrifying shockwave around his fist. The attack was terrifying.

He learned about jackie in the last two days. This guy did not even need to clock in or out from work and could come and go from the Drake family mansion whenever he pleased. This was extremely disrespectful to him as the head commander, thus he needed to teach this guy a lesson. Of course, it did not matter if that was the case or not. He would still seek jackie out to spar in order to compare their power levels. Nonetheless, he was ready to beat jackie to a pulp due to the sheer disrespect.

When jackie noticed his attack was coming straight at him, not only did he not get out of the way or anchor down his feet, but his fist met square with Kyle’s punch, and it caused Kyle to recoil out of the way.

A deafening sound of impact could be heard when both fists clashed. Next thing anyone knew, Kyle was immediately shot back before stumbling seven to eight steps backward. He planted his feet firmly on the ground to keep his balance.

“No way!”

Chapter 307 Yvonne was shocked and disappointed when she realized he was no match for jackie. She thought Kyle could beat some respect into that jerk, but who knew…

“You lost.” Letting out a satisfied chuckle, jackie said, “If you know what’s best for you, get out of my way. I need to hurry home!”

Kyle was beyond surprised; this guy’s strength was inhuman. Not only was he stronger than him, but he was also incredibly fast! He could feel how terrifyingly fast jackie was when he unleashed his attack. Nonetheless, jackie disrespected him by claiming he had lost when he had the lower hand earlier.

“You’re too cocky!” With his roar or dissatisfaction, he then stomped on the ground again before he leaped. He clasped his hands together, forming a tight huge fist before lunging down on jackie.

When jackie looked up, both of Kyle’s fists were balled together like a hammer that was about to smash his head in.

“You look like a leaping toad!” jackie could not hold back his laughter when he noticed what Kyle looked like. Then, with a single stomp of his foot, he jumped up and somehow disappeared in thin air. Swiftly, both of jackie’s feet landed on Kyle’s back as he stepped on him.

Kyle was completely caught off guard from being stepped on by jackie before violently crashing onto the ground. It hurt him so much, he felt like all four limbs were about to be shattered.

“Do you yield?” jackie chuckled calmly before asking, “If I really wanted to fight you, you would’ve been dead a hundred times over! But I got to give it to you: Your combat skills are a tiny bit better than Harvey’s!”

“Yield! I yield!” How could he not yield when someone was on his back? He could not even compete with jackie’s speed, so how could he even fight?

Now, Kyle was not even questioning jackie’s statement. If jackie wanted to hit him, he would not be able to fight back.

Tanya was once again startled by how easily jackie took down Kyle. It seemed not even the Three Major Guardians hidden in their Drake family would be able to pull that off. His combat abilities would absolutely not be a mere soldier on the battlefield. He would at least be a marshal or a King of War! It seemed that her father’s prediction was true.

jackie chuckled and went straight to the main exit without looking back. He then approached his Porsche and after some thought called out to Tanya, “Miss Tanya, if anyone asks about my Porsche, you can tell them it’s a gift from your Drake family, then I’ll say I bought it myself!” After jackie was done speaking, he drove off immediately.

“What…what’s the meaning of this? He wanted you to say that the car he bought for himself was a gift from you guys, then mention about him buying it himself?”

Hearing what jackie had to say nearly made Yvonne pass out in confusion. This man was truly a weirdo. “That brat!”

Miss Tanya let out a bitter chuckle before explaining, “This man didn’t want anyone to know that he’s rich. That’s why he wanted me to say that I gifted it to him.”

“Then why would he still want to claim that he bought it himself?” Yvonne was still confused.

“His mother-in-law is quite prideful in nature. I’m guessing it was his mother-in-law who wanted him to tell everyone that!” Tanya merely scoffed and added, “If you spend more time with him, you’d find him quite interesting!”

“I don’t want to spend more time with him!” Yvonne was bashful as she had been utterly embarrassed in their first meeting. If they had met a few more times, it was unsure just what kind of scary things would have happened.

Chapter 308 jackie had long since arrived home. After parking his car at a nearby empty spot, he walked in. What he never expected was hearing the voices of both Ken and Neil coming from the inside as he approached the door.

“Auntie,” Ken started, a smile on his face as he spoke, “you know that my relationship with Selena had always been good, so everything I do is for Selena’s sake!”

As he spoke, he immediately said, “Look, these pictures can’t be a mistake. This woman has to be wealthy and is insanely rich. That luminous pearl, well, she won the auction with 500 million dollars! jackie has to be a sugarbaby for being with this wealthy woman!”

The corners of jackie’s mouth twitched as he listened by the door. This was something Micheal told Fiona back then, and both Fiona and Selena were enraged with this. He faithfully explained to them that the person was actually the Goddess of War and was his friend. To his dismay, Fiona and Selena did not believe him. Even after he told Selena that the God of War was his disciple, she was still unconvinced.

Fortunately on that night, although he had crossed Neil, the master of the Hugo family brought Neil over to apologize. The incident went by just like that. Selena even agreed to give him one last chance; he had to fulfill everything he had promised on her grandfather’s 70th birthday. Otherwise, she would not believe his nonsense and would also divorce him. That storm seemed to have already passed.

He never expected that both b*stards, Ken and Neil would actually show up and bring that matter up to Fiona while he was at work. Fortunately, he got off work early and was not restricted by normal work hours. He was able to eavesdrop in their conversation.

At this moment, Fiona spoke, “The truth is, Young Master Michael had also come over to inform me about it back then and had also shown me the pictures, but jackie just wouldn’t admit. What choice do I have? Besides, this picture can’t prove much. Unless… You guys can show me an even more intimate picture.”

“This picture doesn’t prove much?” Neil’s expressions dimmed as he asserted, “Auntie, just look at this lady. Look at how sultry this lady looks, and although her face isn’t exposed, she’s no doubt a beauty. She is rich and beautiful, and this happened during work hours. Do you think it’s normal for jackie to be with her?”

Fiona let out a helpless laugh and said, “It’s not normal, but what choice do we have when jackie just wouldn’t admit that he’s a sugarbaby. Besides, he said that this person is the Goddess of War and that they’re friends. We don’t believe him, but he was so adamant about it!”

“Goddess of War!” Both Ken and Hugo stared at each other, wondering if they had misheard that. When they looked up pictures related to the Goddess of War online, she was quite manly and intimidating to people.

That woman during that day was dressed in a sexy skirt while exposing her thighs. Those were two very different styles. That Goddess of War actually had a feminine side? When they thought about the Goddess of War’s body, they gulped. If that was actually the Goddess of War, she would be quite alluring with the way she dressed.

“He’s only been a soldier for five years. How could he possibly know a person like the God of War? He’s blatantly boasting!”

“Selena actually believed a lie like this?” Ken immediately asked.

“Of course my daughter wouldn’t. She even wanted to kick jackie out that night!”

“Nonetheless, didn’t your father bring you here to apologize, Young Master Neil? He even gave us 300 thousand dollars. I took the money while jackie was allowed to stay that night.”

“Perhaps it was for the child and due to the picture being insufficient to prove much, so Selena gave him one final chance! If jackie can’t fulfill his promises, Selena will kick him out!” Fiona explained the situation.

Chapter 309 Both Ken and Neil looked as though a lightbulb lit up in their eyes.

“What chance?” they asked simultaneously.

“ jackie had promised me to give me 20 million dollars during the old master’s birthday. Also, since he had beaten Ivan up, he needs to pay him 10 million dollars in addition to giving our old master a gift worth more than 10 million!” Fiona tittered. “So, that’s the whole situation.”

“Really? Splendid. He will no doubt fail to pull that off. Then, Selena will kick him out. That’s truly amazing!”

“Yeah. There are about 20 days left until the old master’s birthday, and our Hugo family will be present. I’m interested to see how jackie is going to embarrass himself!”

Both young masters looked very delighted. They finally caught a glimpse of hope.

jackie was lucky back then. He was not beaten to death by O’Neal and instead, luck was on his side! They did not expect to find a silver lining in their cloud.

“I genuinely think jackie might actually pull this off, though.” Fiona said with a bitter laugh while she looked at them both. “Isn’t he making 20 million dollars a month now? He said that he’s close with Miss Tanya, and he’ll request for an advance payment of two months. That would be enough! Judging from his looks, he didn’t seem to be lying!”

Upon hearing that, both young masters were infuriated. They had gotten a taste of what it felt like as one fell into hell from heaven in an instant.

“A gift that is worth over ten million is quite rare. Is he ready with that gift?” Neil said after some thought.

“Him? How does he have any money now, anyway? Hmm, we’ll see then!” Fiona spoke with a laugh.

At this moment, Ken gritted his teeth and took out a packet with an unfamiliar substance. Handing it over to Fiona, he said, “Auntie, you’re also hoping for your daughter to marry someone capable, right? You don’t wish to suffer like this for the rest of your life, yes? Dissolve this in water or any drink and have jackie drink it. Everything will be better when he’s dead.”

“Poison?” Fiona gasped when she heard that, and even her expression changed. “No way, no,” she rejected it vehemently. “Although I don’t like jackie and he caused us so much suffering, I can’t do anything like this. This is way too sinful.”

It seemed both Ken and Neil came prepared. They stared at each other before taking out a card and placed it in front of Fiona.

“Money?” Fiona frowned when she saw the card.

Ken chuckled triumphantly. “There’s 100 million in it. A whole 100 million in it! If you’d help us out, you’ll guarantee Selena’s happiness and secure a happy life with all this money! Isn’t that a good thing?”

“100 million!” Fiona gasped, an audible gulp followed suit.

Chapter 310 Fiona’s eyes widened into saucers when she heard the card had 100 million in it; it seemed as though her eyes would fall on the ground. Even her breathing labored. This was 100 million. To the Taylor family, this was still a lot of money. If this money was only hers to spend, she would not have to worry about for

her entire lifetime. Her family would live a wonderful life, and it would not matter if they return to the Taylor family or not.

Both Ken and Neil were delighted at Fiona’s reaction. This meant they would not have to do anything to kick jackie out of the picture. Besides, if Selena herself was to request a divorce, jackie would have no choice but to obey despite his brazen nature.

They did not expect that method would be ineffective since they would still have to wait for 20 more days. Moreover, after listening to what Fiona said, jackie might actually be able to fork out 40 million on that day. Their initial plan: ruined.

Therefore, they had to move on to their second plan. Since Fiona absolutely adored money and not a single person would say no to money, as long as she agreed to work with them—to poison jackie—they would succeed half-way through.

They were worried Fiona might think the money was too little, so they both gritted their teeth and each forked out 50 million to make that 100 million dollars bribe.

“So what do you think? It’s 100 million, Auntie. For your happiness and for Selena’s sake to marry someone decent, you’ll have 100 million after you make jackie drink this!” Ken immediately started sweet-talking to her.

“Yeah. You can get a new house, or you can demolish yours and rebuild a much bigger mansion on top of it. With money, your son would live a much better life! As for your daughter’s hand in marriage, it doesn’t matter if she marries me or Young Master Ken. It’ll be a lot better than marrying a retired veteran, right?”

Neil began persuading her as well. He coaxed her as he repeated, “There’s 100 million in this!”

“Right, right, right! A hundred million. One, hundred, million!”

“The pin is six zeros. Auntie, I believe in you!” Both of them spoke in unison.

Fiona’s heart was moved. She desperately wanted this much money. However, after some thought, she forcibly handed the card back to them with a sigh. “Just forget about it.”

“Why? Auntie, this happens to be 100 million. Do you not like money?”

“Yeah, Auntie. Think about your family and the good days they could be living in the future. Not to mention, isn’t the five years of suffering you guys endured caused by jackie?”

Fiona actually turned them down when they were so close to succeeding. This made both Young Master Ken and Neil speechless.

Fiona inhaled sharply. “If this is something else, I would, but this….well… I can’t do it! Besides, he’s a living, breathing human. How can I murder a human? Moreover, Kylie is such an obedient child, so how can I treat her father like this? I can’t allow Kylie to live without a father!”

Fiona sighed and said, “Although jackie has no money and is a little poor, he’s not a bad person. It’s only 100 million anyway, and as long as he does his job properly, we’ll have this money as well!”

Fiona chuckled bitterly as she added, “I acknowledge your good wills, both of you young masters, but letting me murder someone for money is something I can’t do. Not to mention, jackie fended off enemies on the frontlines. Without him, we would’ve lost. Do you think we’d have a peaceful life right now if he hadn’t?”

Both of them were speechless after Fiona’s statement. This method was indeed a little underhanded, but jackie could really fight. To eliminate him once and for all, both of them had to scramble for ideas.

Chapter 311 jackie, who was by the door, felt slightly comfortable. One hundred million was a really huge amount and

he thought Fiona would accept it as she loved money. He had no idea Fiona would resist the temptation and rejected them. jackie thought about it and knocked on the door acting as if he knew nothing.

“Who is it?” The trio in the room was startled. Neil and Ken quickly hid the packet of drugs and bank card away.

“Mother-in-law, I’m back. Is Selena back from work?” jackie yelled at the room in a pretentious way.

“Oh, no! She should get off work soon, why don’t you pick her up?” Fiona felt guilty and wanted jackie to leave.

“Alright, I’ll fetch her.” jackie soon left in his car.

Fiona finally relaxed after jackie left. She patted her chest and said gratefully, “Oh my god, I was so afraid. If he saw the both of you, he might beat you up. Listen to me, this guy has a bad temper and sometimes he’s hard-headed who doesn’t listen to advice!”

“Auntie, you should give this a second thought. It’s one hundred million!” Ken did not reconcile to Fiona’s decision. “We’ll leave first and you can give us a call after you have made your decision. It’s just a simple task. This drug is hard to detect because it’s colorless and tasteless. Apart from that, it takes time to take effect. He’s symptoms would only be flu, fever, and fatigue. It’ll take one whole month before he dies.”

“Leave, we’ll speak some other day!” Fiona was so startled by jackie’s sudden return and she felt relief after sending them away.

“The both of them are too much! They want to use such a despicable way to get Selena. I dare not provoke people like them,” Fiona spoke in fright after she sent them away. “People like them are so despicable. Will they drug Selena if they have any conflict in their marriage? Or will they feed the drugs to me? Poor people like jackie are much more reliable.”

It was obvious that Fiona’s impression of jackie had changed after jackie gave her money twice and helped her get the 3.8 million back. The most important point was jackie’s salary. He had a yearly income of more than 200 million. Hence, why did she need to kill someone for a mere hundred million? Although she disliked jackie and wanted to chase him away, she dared not think about killing him. If Selena and Kylie find out in the future, they would despise her. Hence, Fiona refused the temptation in this crucial moment.

“Sigh. jackie, you bastard, do you have any idea what I have given up for you?” Fiona sighed and was sad. How could she be happy for giving up one hundred million?

“Xena, what happened to you? Why didn’t you answer my calls?!” Ben finally found Xena in an internet cafe. He pulled her to the roadside and asked.

“Stop looking for me. It’s best if we break up!” Xena looked at Ben and said.

Chapter 312 ”Break up? Why do you want to break up? Weren’t we doing fine and you were going to marry me?” Ben couldn’t accept the reality. He backed up for two steps and felt as if he was struck by lightning.

“why? Money. Who knew that you’re so poor!” Xena was so angry when she thought of how jackie almost killed her that afternoon. It seemed that Ben had no idea what happened that morning.

“Money?” Ben was stunned when he heard this. He begged, “Xena, don’t you worry, we’ll get rich. Do you need money? My mother has money. I can get it from my mother if you need it!”

Xena felt her heartbeat skip a beat when she realized that Ben trusted her. His sister had a high salary, and jackie’s salary was even higher. She had no savings and no place to go because she had spent all her money. If she broke up with Ben, it would be difficult to hook up with another rich man. Why don’t think of a way to continue her relationship with Ben and see if there would be other opportunities to find a sugar daddy.

‘That’s right. jackie is Ben’s brother-in-law. It’s impossible for him to kill me in front of Ben, right? Apart from that, jackie works with the Drake family and the people he comes into contact with are also from that family. There’s a chance for me to get closer to Eldest Young Master Drake if I get the opportunity to meet him. If that’s the case, my social status will improve in leaps and bounds!’ Xena changed her idea after giving it a thought.

She bit her sexy red lips and said with an aggrieved expression, “Ben, I don’t want to break up with you… But I have wronged your family. Will you forgive me?”

Ben immediately responded hearing this. “Xena, don’t you worry. I will forgive you no matter what you did as long as you stay with me. I believe there must be a reason behind what you did!”

“Ben, you’re the best!” Xena was touched. She threw herself into Ben’s embrace and felt relieved.

“It’s okay, stop crying and let me bring you out for good food!” Ben said with a smile.

Xena nodded. “Sounds good. However, let’s not go home and spend the night in the internet cafe. I did something wrong and your parents are angry about it. Let’s give them some time to calm down before going back!”

“Sure, let’s go. I’ll carry you in Honor of Kings!” Ben was extremely happy. He was frightened when Xena requested a break up. He suddenly felt as if he had found something he lost, and all he wanted was to cherish this woman in his arms.

Both of them left quickly.

…

When jackie passed by the kindergarten in his car, he looked over and his face darkened when he saw what he saw. He saw two men surrounding the maid, Jenny, and Kylie in a corner. At the same time, one of the men pushed Jenny with force. Jenny’s electric scooter fell on its side and broke.

”Bad guys!” Kylie looked at both men and yelled out loud.

“Little bastard, what do you know? Why are you poking your head into an adult’s matter?” The man smiled coldly and pushed Kylie.

“Kylie!”

Chapter 313 Jenny was about to get up from the ground when the man pushed Kylie. As Kylie fell on the ground, Jenny quickly leaped, laid down, and caught Kylie with her body.

“Don’t you understand? Children can’t interfere with what the adults do!” a boy standing beside the men said arrogantly.

“See, this child understands!” The man laughed and discovered a button had dropped from Jenny’s white shirt during their fight. He looked inside from above and his eyes lit up. He gulped, “Tell me, how are you going to compensate me? Don’t even think about leaving if you don’t have two thousand dollars!”

“Two thousand!” Jenny was extremely frightened. She stood up with Kylie and said angrily, “This is unreasonable. We were just getting in the car and did nothing wrong. You were the one who knocked us down when you were reversing your car. Now, you dare ask us for compensation?”

“That’s right. You aren’t sorry for knocking into us and actually want us to pay you! All of you are bad guys! If my daddy knows about this, all of you are finished! My daddy is a hero that fights bad people!” Although Kylie was young and her eyes were filled with aggrievance, she did not cry and kept her composure well.

Other children would have started crying loudly under these circumstances. However, Kylie endured what happened and did not cry. Anybody who saw her aggrieved expression would be distressed.

“he fights bad people? He’s a hero?” The man started mocking them after he heard what Kylie said. “What’s the point of that? Is he rich? Look at my son, he travels in a BMW. How about you? You can only

sit in an electric scooter under the hot sun. Your relatives must have loaned you your school fees to study here.”

“Brother, don’t waste your time talking to them, sister-in-law is still waiting at home to have dinner with us! Get them to quickly pay us!” The other man had tattoos on his arms. There was a scary looking green dragon on his left arm and a ferocious white tiger on the right one.

“I… I don’t have money! I’m just a maid and I’m picking up my boss’ daughter!” Jenny was frightened. They were being unreasonable and she had no idea what to do.

“It’s just a car! My dad has a sports car that looks much better than yours!” Kylie scolded angrily.

“you’re a maid? Your dad has a sports car? You must be lying. Admit it and stop acting in front of us! How would you be riding an electric scooter if you’re rich?” The young boy’s father started laughing. “I don’t care about your situation and you must compensate me today. Didn’t you see that I was reversing? Why didn’t you move? Are you blind?”

The people around them looked at Jenny and Kylie in empathy. However, they could not do anything as this world was unjust and unfair. Powerful people had always been bullying the weak ones.

“Daddy!” At this moment, Kylie saw jackie’s car parked by the side of the road and he was walking toward them.

jackie felt warm when he heard his daughter addressing him as daddy. He walked over and knelt down. “Kylie, daddy saw what happened. Don’t you worry. Daddy will beat the bad guys!”

“Okay! Daddy is a hero that fights bad people!” Kylie nodded and said.

When jackie saw an abrasion wound on Kylie’s calf, his face immediately darkened. “You bastards are really good at throwing your weight, aye!”

Both men started panicking when they looked at the Porsche parked by the side and looked at their BMW that was worth only around 200 thousand.

Chapter 314 The skinny man immediately panicked and spoke to his brother softly, “Brother, what should we do? This person drives a Porsche 911. F*cking hell, it seems that we have caused trouble. That car costs one to two million!”

His brother heard him and smiled coldly. “Big brother, you’re too cowardly. Why should we be afraid? You don’t have much social experience that’s why you’re frightened by him. This person is lying!”

“What’s going on?” The skinny man was doubtful.

“Hey, look at him. He dresses so normally. Does he look like someone that can afford a car?” The man with the tattoos smiled and continued, “I’m confident that he’s just a driver for someone else! This woman doesn’t seem to be a maid. She must be his wife!”

“Oh, I see!” The skinny man suddenly understood everything and spoke, “Young man, how dare you describe me like that. don’t even think about leaving if you don’t have three thousand dollars!” He paused and pointed to the Porsche before continuing, “Don’t think of me as a fool. You’re just a driver! Do you think that I would be afraid of you because you drive a sports car? why should I be afraid of a driver?!”

“How dare you ask me for money when you knocked down my maid and daughter while reversing? I should be the one asking you for money!” jackie walked to the electric scooter after he spoke. He picked up the scooter with one hand and threw it toward the BMW.

Bang!

The BMW dented. The windscreen of the car shattered and the hood of the bonnet collapsed.

“Young man, how dare you smash my car! Are you trying to get yourself killed?” The person was extremely angry. He walked forward with the intention to hit jackie.

jackie caught his hand and squeezed it lightly. The man immediately knelt on the ground in pain. “I would kill you now if there were no children around!”

“F*ck!” The other man with tattoos rushed forward when he saw his big brother being hit.

jackie kicked and the man flew backward, smashing onto the top of the car. He coughed out blood and his face turned pale.

“Ouch, ouch, I dare not do this again! Please let go of me, brother!” The skinny man knew jackie’s ability and begged for forgiveness.

“Don’t show off in front of me with just a mere BMW! If you want to cause any trouble, you can find me at the Drake family mansion. I’ll be waiting there!” jackie kicked him and he fell flat on his face.

He then turned around and said to Jenny, “Jenny, are you alright? Who knew that there’d be such vile people!”

“I’m fine!” Jenny smiled and said to jackie, “Mister White, I should be the one feeling bad. I failed to protect Kylie and she fell down!”

jackie smiled and felt warm, “You’ve tried your best and this is my fault. I wanted to give this car to you so you can fetch Kylie in it. I’d forgotten about it because I was busy with work these days. I’m so sorry that you have to fetch Kylie with an electric scooter!” jackie continued, “Since your electric scooter is damaged, why don’t you drive my car? I’ll get a taxi to fetch Selena later!”

“No, no! I’m not daring enough to drive such an expensive car! Besides, I can’t afford the petrol for this car, it doesn’t suit me! I’ll be panicky if I drive it!” Jenny quickly waved her hand and said.

jackie looked around and discovered an Audi 4S-Authorized car dealership opposite where they were. “What if I buy you an Audi? It doesn’t have to be too expensive so how about an A6 ? I’ll give it to you as a gift and you can use it to fetch Kylie in the future!”

Chapter 315 jackie spoke after giving it some thought. “By the way, if anyone asks you about it, don’t tell them that I bought it. Just say your boyfriend gave it to you, okay?”

“But… It’s so expensive! Don’t you have to discuss with Miss Selena before you give it to me?” Jenny said in embarrassment. She was extremely surprised because an Audi A6 was not cheap. jackie actually said that he would give it to her and it would be hers in the future.

She was just a maid and had never imagined that she would be able to drive such a car. What made her speechless was when jackie said he wanted to give her the Porsche. She almost passed out from that.

“Why do we need to have a discussion? It’s not very expensive. Just don’t tell her about this, alright?” jackie smiled and reminded her.

“Oh, okay!” Jenny nodded. She felt that her boss was becoming increasingly mysterious. It seemed that he was not a commoner. At least, he brought money back from the army. He seemed to have received millions in rewards when he retired as a veteran.

jackie picked Kylie up, looked at the wound on her leg and asked, “Kylie, does it hurt?”

“No! Kylie is so happy to see daddy fight the bad guys. I want to fight the bad guys too when I grow up!” Kylie had an innocent smile on her face. To her, jackie was like a mountain—tall and powerful. As long as her father appeared, the bad guys could only kneel and beg for forgiveness.

“Eat this candy. The wound on your leg will heal quickly after you eat it!” jackie smiled and fetched a small black pill. “Remember, swallow it in one go!”

“Okay!” Kylie nodded her head seriously and swallowed it in one go.

Kylie frowned after she swallowed it and felt as if she had been tricked. “Daddy, why does it taste bitter?”

“Silly girl, medicine is usually bitter.” jackie petted Kylie’s head and kissed her cheeks. This sense of belonging in a family was really enjoyable!

jackie spoke to Jenny embarrassingly after they walked for some time and discovered something was wrong. “Jenny, you seemed to have lost a button!”

Jenny lowered her head to look and her face blushed into a bright red color. Although jackie reminded her with good intentions, it still caused her to be extremely shy.

“Big brother, it seems that we have misjudged. That woman is really a maid!”

“Look, he’s going to buy an A6 for his maid to fetch his child to school!”

“He intended to give the Porsche to the maid. He would have done that if the maid didn’t reject it. F*ck, we have really met someone that we can’t afford to provoke!” The man with tattoos finally came down from the top of the car and spoke with blood at the corners of his mouth.

The skinny man twitched a few times, looked at his car and said, “It’s all your fault. My loss is bigger now because of your misjudgement. We’ve been hit, the car has been smashed, and we don’t even dare to complain out loud!”

Chapter 316 Soon, Jenny drove Kylie home in a newly purchased Audi. jackie, on the other hand, drove to the company and waited for Selena. They drove back home in their respective cars after Selena got off work.

“Wow, is this a new car? It looks good!” When Selena returned to the house, she saw the car that was parked outside. “Who does this belong to? Did you buy it for Ben with your own money?”

“No. Where would I have the time to buy a car for your brother? Besides, your brother isn’t home yet! Didn’t jackie promise your brother that he would buy a car that’s worth below one million after he gets his salary? Why would I use my own money when someone else is willing to pay for it!” Fiona immediately

said and looked at jackie after she finished speaking. She was obviously waiting for jackie to buy a car for her son.

“Miss Selena, this is mine!” Jenny ran over and said embarrassingly.

“It’s yours? Not bad! How did you come up with so much money?” Selena was happy and surprised at the same time. Although her salary was considered high, Jenny was from a poor family.

“This… My boyfriend bought it for me!” Jenny smiled and replied.

“Isn’t your boyfriend from a common family too? This car should be around 500 to 600 thousand? Our original plan was to get a car for you to fetch Kylie after we get our salary! Your boyfriend really treats you well that he buys such a nice car for you!” Selena was really surprised. After all, this was not a cheap car.

“It’s fine, Miss Selena. I’ll fetch Kylie each day with this car!” Jenny said with a smile.

“How can we do this? I’ll ask jackie to give you an increment so that you can at least claim the petrol from us every month!” Selena said with a smile, “How can we ask our maid to pay for our expenses!”

“Miss Selena, it’s really nothing!” Jenny was in an awkward position. She finally understood why jackie forbade her to tell the truth. Fiona would be unhappy about it. It was fine to buy a car and let Jenny drive it, but would Fiona agree to jackie’s action of giving it to Jenny? Of course not! After all, jackie had not bought a car for her son yet, how would she agree to this.

“We must give her an increment!” jackie chimed in, “Jenny, what’s your current salary?”

“It was originally six thousand but Miss Selena said to increase it by one thousand so it’s seven thousand!” Jenny smiled and said. She was very satisfied with this salary.

“How about this? Let’s pay you ten thousand a month including the petrol allowance! It would be easy to calculate a whole number!” jackie thought about it and said.

“This… This is too much!” Jenny was embarrassed. This car was given to her by jackie and he wanted to pay her so much for petrol.

She was not highly educated and she was satisfied to work as a maid in the Taylor family because Selena had been treating her well all this while. She had no idea that they would pay her a monthly salary of ten thousand. That amount was almost the same as the white-collar workers in big companies.

“It’s not much. The Taylor family has so many maids but you are the closest one to me. Besides, you’ve been helping us in secret for the past five years. Don’t be modest!” Selena was a kind and grateful person. Now that their lives had improved, she naturally wanted to take care of this maid who followed her unswervingly.

By this moment, Kylie finished showering and came running out from the bathroom.

Chapter 317 ”Kylie’s leg!” Jenny was stunned when she saw Kylie’s leg. There was a wound and blood just now!

Now, there was nothing on her leg to show that she had fallen.

“What’s wrong with her leg?” Selena turned around and looked in doubt.

“Oh, it’s nothing. Kylie fell down earlier!” jackie said with a smile, “Let’s go in and have dinner.”

“Jenny, come with us. Go home after you’ve had dinner with us!” Selena pulled Jenny with her into the house for dinner.

“ jackie, what happened after you followed them? Did you get mother’s money back? Was Xena the one who did it? Did you see her?” In the morning, Selena went to work after she sent Fiona and the others

back home. She had been busy in the office for the entire day and was unsure about what happened after.

“Yes, I saw her together with the robbers and I’ve retrieved the money!” jackie nodded and did not mention that the motor robbers’ leader was the son of the Dragon God Clan’s head.

“It’s good that we got it back!” Joan, who was on the side, felt relieved. She was afraid the money was not retrieved, Fiona might ask jackie to compensate it to her. After all, Joan had understood Fiona’s character in the past five years.

“Mother, I’ve been telling you that Xena isn’t a good person and you didn’t believe me. Look, do you know what kind of a person she is now?” Selena finally said in confidence, “We can’t have her around Ben again.”

“Sigh, it’s really hard to understand someone’s true nature!” Fiona sighed. “I thought this girl would be a good woman because she was from a poor family and had a difficult life. Although there are times when she dresses up flamboyantly but she should be a kind person. I have no idea…that she would do this for money!”

“That’s right. There’s no way we’ll allow her to continue hanging around Ben! She might lead Ben down the road of destruction!” Andrew drank some liquor and spoke decisively.

“I don’t think that she’ll still be dating Ben after this. After all, dignity is as important to man as the bark is to the tree!” jackie estimated that Xena escaped from death and she would be so frightened to appear in front of them for the time being.

It was obvious that he did not want to talk much about how he killed those motor robbers and the Five Tigers of the Dragon Gods as he did not want to expose his identity. He wanted to have a stable life and stay by his wife and daughter’s side.

Fiona had a different idea as she felt unhappy when she thought about the money she lost that afternoon. She could not control herself and stared at jackie. “Yes, dignity is as important to man as the bark is to the tree. However, there are people with skin as thick as the wall. He knows that he’s not worthy to be with my daughter but still won’t leave.”

“Mother, why are you talking about this again? Didn’t we agree to observe jackie’s performance during grandfather’s 70th birthday? It’s not too late for you to chase him away if he can’t come up with the money!” Selena helped persuade Fiona.

“Humph, it’s happening soon!” Fiona coughed and said.

At this moment, the piercing sound of car horn could be heard. Cars were parked outside their house and their lights were on, facing inside of the house.

“Who is it!” Fiona walked toward the door angrily. “It’s already evening. Who’s causing trouble here?!”

After she opened the door, she was so frightened that she immediately closed the door and petted her chest. “Oh my god, there’re so many sports car and people. What do they want?!”

Chapter 318 ”A lot of sports cars?” jackie and the others frowned and were stunned.

However, a voice could be heard coming from an amplifier outside. “Everybody inside, listen to us. You have been surrounded!”

…

“No, that’s wrong. jackie, listen to me. I’m here to marry you! Surrender and come out quickly. Follow me home and marry me!” jackie and the others were even more stunned when they heard this. Who was this woman? They had no idea who it was when they heard the voice through the speakers.

“Marry you?” Selena was so confused and completely stunned. A woman drove a sports car over to marry her husband? Was that a drama series?!

“I… I have no idea who it is!” jackie was embarrassed. “I don’t know a lot of people in Eastfield. I’ve only come back from the army for a few days!”

“I know!” Fiona’s expression darkened at this moment and looked at jackie angrily. “ jackie, shouldn’t you admit that you’re a toy boy? Other than the rich woman who spent five hundred million on a luminous pearl at the auction, who else can drive so many sports cars here?”

“Impossible!” jackie’s expression darkened. He knew Lana very well and she would not do such an impulsive thing. Besides, Lana was his apprentice and they were in a master-apprentice relationship.

“Mother, you opened the door but did not see who was outside?” Selena frowned and was quite unhappy. After all, jackie was her husband and they had a child.

She had no idea who wanted to meddle in their relationship. On top of that, this person was different. The others were afraid that their identity would be exposed. This woman, on the other hand, drove so many sports cars here and admitted out loud that she wanted to marry jackie. How could Selena accept this?

“It was impossible for me to see clearly. I only saw a row of bright red Ferraris and Porches. They lined up in a row, turned on their headlights and it was too dazzling. There were a dozen people!” Fiona looked at jackie before continuing, “ jackie, this is too much. Other than that rich woman, who else could this be? You really have no shame!”

Andrew was so angry that his face turned pale and his voice trembled, “ jackie, what’s the meaning of this? That person even came right to your doorstep searching for you. If it’s you wanna be a sugar baby and have found your sugar mama, you can leave now. Go, go enjoy your life!”

“Mister and Missus Taylor, this must be a misunderstanding. It’s impossible! My son is not that kind of person. Besides, he had just come back a few days ago, how can this be possible?” Joan, who stood by the side, tried to persuade the others.

Fiona was irate and began yelling, “a few days ago? Somebody is ready to marry him only after he’s back for a few days. If he’s back here a few more days earlier, he would have more than three thousand women in the harem!”

“If he’s a capable and wealthy person, I wouldn’t object even if he marries eight or ten wives. The problem now is that you don’t have money yet and you have already started… That person even…even came here looking for you!”

“I… I want out!” Fiona was so angry that she started being unreasonable and made a scene. She sat down right on the ground.

Chapter 319 jackie was embarrassed. He spoke to Selena, “Selena, please believe in me. I really don’t know who the woman outside is. Let’s go out and take a look. Maybe she’s at the wrong place and is looking for the wrong person?”

“How is that possible? She’s calling out your name. Are you trying to tell me your name isn’t jackie?” Selena glared at jackie before walking outside, “I want to take a look. I want to see who dares get on our turf!”

jackie was slightly surprised before feeling happy when he saw this situation. His wife was jealous! The headlamps were really glaring as she looked out the door. Her eyes adapted to the light for a few seconds before she could see the situation outside clearly.

“Hey, they’ve finally come out!” At that moment, a fat woman jumped down from the bonnet. She looked at jackie happily. “My Handsome jackie, I’ve been mesmerized by you since the first time we met. Your handsome look, terrific fighting ability and your indifference when you reject others fascinated me. After I

returned home, I couldn’t eat or sleep and I only wanted to see you again! Now, I’ve finally summoned the courage to come ask your hand for marriage. Marry me! I’m richer than the Taylor family. Being the son-in-law that marries into the George family would definitely be better than being a son-in-law here. Our family will not look down on you and I’ll protect you!”

The woman in front of jackie wore a white wedding dress and had a bouquet of roses in her hands. She looked at jackie and then looked away embarrassedly.

“Marry her! Marry her! Marry her!” A group of young men and women, who seemed to be the fat woman’s friends, walked forward to sprinkle rose petals on them and yelled out loudly.

The sports cars behind them were decorated like wedding cars.

“Sharon George, the daughter of the George family!” Finally, Fiona could not stand it anymore and got up from the ground. She ran outside and tried to see if it was the rich woman who wore a mask. She could not help but exclaimed after she recognized the fat woman in front of her.

Sharon was the daughter of a first-class aristocratic family. Keep in mind that the George family only had one daughter and the entire family spoilt her. She was the only heir to the George family. That was why many men still wanted to marry into her family even though Sharon weighed around 100kg. Of course, these men were those who wanted their money because they had no money and power on their own. If they married into the George family, they would not have to worry about money for their entire life.

Contrary to popular belief, Sharon was picky in terms of choosing a partner even if she was not young and was fat. She did not like those who have bad temperament and those who wanted to marry her for money. It turns out that she was the person who confessed and proposed so boldly to jackie!

“This…” Selena covered her mouth in surprise and was confused. She could not believe that Sharon, who had a high social status with her head up in the sky—and fat—would ask jackie to marry into her family.

jackie was also confused when he saw this woman and his face was twisted.

“Marry her, marry her!” The young men and women beside them chanted and sprinkled red roses. Sharon took stolen glances at jackie and she lowered her head shyly after every glance. It seemed that she had really fallen in love with jackie.

Chapter 320 ”Wait!” As jackie was about to reject Sharon, when Fiona suddenly spoke.

Everybody silenced and looked at her.

Fiona looked at Sharon and said, “Miss George, this isn’t a joke. Have you considered it properly? Do you really want jackie to marry into your family?

“I… I’ve thought of it thoroughly!” Sharon replied.

“Give us some time!” Fiona replied she cunningly smiled.

“Sure. After all, this is an important matter in life and I showed up out of the blue, it’s only fair that you have some time to discuss it first! However, I really like jackie a lot and I’m serious about it! I don’t mind being the second wife!” Sharon said.

“Yes, I understand. Let us go in and discuss. We’ll give you an answer in a while!” Fiona nodded as she spoke.

“What’s there to discuss? There’s no need for that!” jackie’s face darkened and said, “Selena is my wife and I love her. On top of that, I have a cute daughter and I’d change nothing about my life. I only want to live a normal life!”

jackie paused and spoke to Sharon, “Miss George, thank you for your good intention, but, I’m really not interested in you. Although my words might be hurtful, they’re the truth.”

Sharon’s facial expression immediately darkened and spoke aggrievedly, “I know you must dislike me for being fat and ugly, right? Will you like me if I lose weight?”

jackie was embarrassed. “This has nothing to do with your figure. I can see that you have very standard features. If you manage to slim down, you’ll definitely be a pretty woman. By that time, you’ll have many pursuers and maybe you’ll know what type of man you like by then!”

“Miss George, don’t listen to him!” Fiona glared at jackie and continued speaking to Sharon, “Wait for us here. We’ll discuss inside!” After she finished speaking, she pulled jackie and walked inside.

Selena frowned, smiled to Sharon, and followed them into the house. “Mother, what do we need to discuss? jackie said that he doesn’t like that woman. Can’t we just ask her to leave? Besides, she’s so fat. Nobody will agree to be with her apart from the men who want her money, let alone jackie!” Selena rebutted peevishly.

“What do you understand!” Fiona replied. “First of all, this woman is ugly and fat, but she has a standard face and is fat in a cute way. We can consider her a chubby beauty! Second of all, all of you have never met her. I met her once when she was young. She was not fat and had a nice figure. Everybody said that she’ll be a beauty when she grows up!”

Chapter 321 ”You want jackie to be with her because of this?” Selena was extremely angry and she could not believe her mother’s words.

“Hey, can you wait for me to finish!” Fiona smiled bitterly and continued, “Who is she? She’s the daughter of the George family. She made such a big scene today and brought all her friends along. Do you think it will work if jackie rejects her in front of everybody?”

Fiona paused, picked up a cup by the side, and drank some tea before continuing, “The ‘face’ is as important to man as the bark is to the tree. It’d be embarrassing for her if jackie rejects her outright. By then, we’ll offend. Besides, it takes a lot of courage for a girl to do this!”

Selena could not help but nodded after she heard what her mother said. “That’s true. I’ve heard that Sharon is a kind person and she did a lot of charity work. She craves for food now and cannot control her appetite, so it’ll be impossible for her to lose weight! And, this is the first time she initiated a confession and even I was taken back by what she did.”

As they speak, Selena looked at jackie, who was by her side. “It seems that she likes you very much. She didn’t have the appetite to eat because of you!”

“It doesn’t matter if she likes me or not. I only like my wife!” jackie shrugged his shoulders and his words cheered Selena up.

“It’s quite normal that you dislike her, she doesn’t even have one tenth of my daughter’s looks. The main issue here is, she’s from a first-class aristocratic family and we cannot offend her! Apart from that, she’s so rich, if she’s willing to be the second wife as what she said, I think that we can try it out. We’ll be a family with her and we’ll be rich!” Fiona could not help but was tempted by Sharon’s property.

“Afraid of offending her?” jackie was in an awkward state. He thought about it and said, “Don’t worry. Since she’s here for me, I’ll settle this matter! I’ll go out and ask her to leave. I won’t trouble the rest of you!”

“You can ask her to leave? I don’t think that she’ll listen to you. Didn’t you see that there are a lot of bodyguards with her today? It’s obvious that she’ll take you by force if you reject her,” Fiona continued, “In my opinion, it’s better if you accept her. That way, we’ll benefit from her wealth. However, you wouldn’t be marrying into her family, she’ll be marrying into our family as the second wife instead! After she inherits the George family’s properties the future, the estates will be yours and also ours too. That’s so much money. We’ll be well-off in the future!”

“I think you’re blinded by money!” jackie shook his head powerlessly and walked outside alone. “You don’t need to follow me out, I can settle the matter by myself. Don’t worry, I can make them leave in three minutes, okay?”

“Don’t get into a fight!” Fiona was frightened when she heard this. “ jackie, don’t fight them. They’re a very powerful first-class aristocratic family. Their power is different from the Clark family and Hugo family. On top of that, there are several powerful guards, known as guardians, in such families!

“If we’re left with no choices, you can coax her to leave first. I think that she’s only acting impulsively. She might discover that she doesn’t like you that much after some time to calm down. Or she might have a new target and will give up!” Selena was also frightened. She knew that jackie was a guy who liked to solve matters with violence.

However, Sharon was from a first-class aristocratic family. On top of that, a girl needed to gather a lot of courage to confess proactively. She would be so sad if she was rejected by jackie!

“Don’t worry, I won’t fight with them!” jackie turned around and smiled at Selena before walking outside.

Chapter 322 Sharon, who was standing outside, was extremely nervous. She could not help but tighten her fists and lowered her head in fright. She knew absolutely well that she was too fat. However, she could not control herself with food—especially sweet stuff. This caused her to gain more and more weight. There was a huge possibility that jackie would reject her due to her body size.

“Sharon, don’t worry about it. We believe in you! A woman with confidence is the prettiest in the world and you’ll surely succeed! Besides, you’ll have to confess to him to know if he feels the same way. How else will he know? You’ll never succeed if you don’t confess, but you stand a chance if you do. It’s good to try no matter the outcome!” A sexy woman with a leather skirt and long legs smiled at Sharon and they seemed to have a good relationship.

“Thank you, Selena!” Sharon smiled slightly and nodded. She remembered how others laughed at her behind her back after she grew fat. There were even people who mocked her.

However, she was not calculative just because she was of higher status than everyone else. After all, she was fat and that was the truth. Her only best friend, Selena Smith, treated her well and constantly

encouraged her.

jackie walked outside. Sharon was suddenly excited.

“What’s your decision, young man?” Selena immediately walked forward. She had a pair of big beautiful eyes.

Nobody knew that she was waiting to make fun of Sharon because she believed that jackie would reject Sharon. After all, jackie was a veteran and he had a unyielding temperament. He had already expressed his thoughts and his wife was so much prettier than Sharon. It would not be a surprise if he rejected Sharon.

Sharon would really be humiliated this way. After all, her identity as the George family’s future heir had always attracted the attention of the massed. People would make fun of her if the news of her being rejected after confessing to a married man spread on the papers or by words.

Unexpectedly, jackie looked at Selena deeply before walking to Sharon.

He smiled indifferently and looked sympathetically at Sharon, who was in front of him.

Sharon raised her head, bit her red lip and said, “Don’t tell me the answer. I know that you don’t like me, but I feel that I’m already in my late twenties and this is the first time I met someone that I really like. I wouldn’t give up without confessing my feelings. Instead of keeping it to myself, it’s better for me to speak my mind!”

However, jackie said, “Ask your friends and bodyguards to leave, except for one driver. I want to talk to you in private!”

“Talk in private?” Sharon felt as if she was dreaming when she heard this and she could not believe it. jackie did not reject her or hate her, instead, he wanted to talk to her in private.

However, she quickly understood that jackie probably wanted to reject her and did not want others to witness it. He wanted to save her from an awkward situation and prevent her from being made fun of.

This man was really considerate.

Chapter 323 ”Everybody can go back first. Howard, stay back and send me home later. I want to have a chat with jackie!” Sharon turned around and smiled. Although she was fat, her smile was very sweet and mesmerizing.

“We… We’ll leave immediately!” Selena was disappointed that she could not witness Sharon being rejected. She knew this man would not be interested in Sharon. Otherwise, he must have a very weird taste.

When Selena thought about how jackie was interjected by Fiona for a discussion when he intended to reject Sharon, she felt that jackie might be convinced by Fiona. After all, the George family was so rich and he might agree to it because of money. Selena instantly felt cheated as she looked at the house. She would lose the chance to make fun of Sharon if jackie really agreed to the proposal.

“Yes, all of you can go back!” Sharon waved her hand and said, “I thank all my friends that came here for me today. I’ll treat everybody to a meal some other day!”

Selena could only drive away with the others after everybody left.

Fiona looked at the situation outside from inside of the house and said, “This young man is really good. He didn’t need to do anything to make everybody leave!”

However, she soon saw something and said surprisingly, “This is weird. Why did he ask Sharon to stay? There’s even a driver and a car waiting for them. Hey, they’ve gone under the big banyan tree at the entrance!” She paused and continued happily, “Did he make up his mind and wants Sharon to be his second wife? We’ll be rich if he makes the right choice!”

“Mother, what’re you talking about? jackie told us that he doesn’t like Sharon and I’m sure that he wouldn’t agree to her proposal!” Selena rolled her eyes at Fiona and said, “I think he’s trying to save Sharon some trouble by asking the others to leave first. After all, she’s the daughter of the George family. She’ll be ashamed if she was rejected in front of so many people!”

At this moment, under the big banyan tree…

“I can see that you’ve never been in a relationship and crave for love! However, love is not an impulse decision to make and you shouldn’t be blinded by your feelings at first sight!” jackie looked at Sharon and broke the silence.

Sharon lowered her head and did not speak.

jackie fetched a cigarette, lit it, and took a whiff. He continued, “I can see that you’re a very nice and kind person! Otherwise, some of your friends wouldn’t treat you as their true friend!”

“Really? Thank you. I’m satisfied that I got your compliment!” Sharon’s eyes lit up after she heard jackie and continued, “Actually, I know that you’ll reject me, but I can’t reconcile my emotions. It’s better to fail than to hold it back. Holding back is uncomfortable!”

She stretched her body in relief after she spoke and continued, “Fortunately, you didn’t reject me in front of everybody even though you didn’t like me. This shows me that I was right, you’re really a good person. I really envy your wife, Selena, for meeting such a good husband! By the way, will you make fun of me? That I did such a crazy thing after being instigated by others!”

“I can see that some of your friends are genuine to you and wish for you to find true love!” jackie smiled and continued, “However, some of them aren’t your friends but poisonous snakes. They stay by your side waiting to make fun of you!”

Chapter 324 Sharon was in disbelief after she heard what jackie said. She smiled and said, “How… How is that possible? Are you talking about the friends who were with me just now?”

“Yes, I’m talking about the one who talked to me last!” jackie nodded. He believed that he was a good judge of character because of his experience in the army and the amount of people he met.

“Selena Smith? How is that possible? She’s the one who treats me best among all my friends! She had never disliked me and had always been considerate. She was the one who’d taken the initiative to plan this confession!” Sharon obviously in disbelief.

However, jackie replied, “Then it must be her. Do you think that she’s doing this for you? She’s the one who wants to make a joke out of you!”

“Impossible… You’ve only met her once and you don’t know her. She’s a really nice person!” Sharon shaked her head profusely. She would like to believe that it was somebody else and not Selena.

“You’re the one who doesn’t understand her!” jackie smiled bitterly and smoked the cigarette in his hand again. “Let me ask you. Did you have a nice figure and a pretty face in the past?”

“Yes. I can’t control my diet. I’ll drool and crave for food every time I see it and gain weight after. Most importantly, I enjoy meat and sweet stuff very much!” Sharon spoke in embarrassment, “I find that running and other exercises have no effect on me. Instead, I grow fatter every time I try to lose weight!”

“When did this start?” jackie asked.

“Around three years ago. I’m only twenty-one years old. Sigh, I’m afraid that I can’t find my true love in the future!” Sharon looked at jackie after she spoke. “I think I don’t stand a chance with you. It doesn’t matter if I like you because you have a wife and you don’t like me. Sigh, what should I do! This is bothering me!”

jackie could not help but laughed when he saw Sharon’s cute expression. “Don’t you worry. All you have to do is lose weight! You’ll definitely find someone who you like and likes you in return. You’ll have self- confidence after you slim down!”

“It’s easier said than done.” Sharon smiled bitterly. “I have no idea what to do. I should be thankful as long as I don’t gain more weight!”

“Think about it, does your best friend offer you food consistently, or occasionally? Was it something peculiar? Think about it carefully. She would have started giving you this three years ago and has never stopped!” jackie knew the answer very well.

He intended to pay the George family a visit in order to help Sharon after the incident at the auction house. He had no idea that they would meet under these circumstances before he had the chance to visit!

“Food? I don’t think so.” Sharon frowned and thought about it. She failed to recall if Selena had given her something to eat regularly after thinking about it for a long time.

“Think carefully. It mustn’t be nothing. Trust me, there must be something, she’s hurting you. I trust my instinct!” jackie said confidently.

Chapter 325 Sharon thought about it for a long time before gasping. “I know. It’s not food, she’d been giving me tea leaves. She told me that it was of good quality and originated from her hometown. I think the tea has a nice aroma so I drink it often!” Sharon paused and took in another breath. “She emphasised that this tea was expensive and exotic so I should only keep it to myself! I didn’t pay much attention to it but she sends it to me every other month and constantly asks if I have finished the tea!”

Sharon gulped and looked at jackie in horror after she figured it out. “You’re saying that there’s something wrong with the tea leaves!”

jackie nodded. “That must be it. She must’ve tampered the tea leaves!”

“How could she do that? I treat Selena so well, why does she do this to me?” Sharon was disappointed. She walked a few steps backward and was unwilling to accept the fact.

However, what jackie said made sense and she knew things were not incidental. Was it possible that Selena wanted to make fun of her for planning a confession that was bound to fail?

“Commoners will only know about medications for losing weight and not so much about drugs for putting on weight! Furthermore, this medication is weird as it will cause people to lose control over their appetite and develop strong craving for food! Consuming this drug for a prolonged period of time will lead to addiction and will cause huge problems for the body. Apart from that, there aren’t any obvious symptoms in the beginning and the symptoms gradually appeared after a month of intake. Your condition is the same as the symptoms. Others wouldn’t have heard of this medication as it’s very rare, it’s known as Tanio,” jackie explained slowly and every sentence terrified Sharon.

She had absolutely no idea that her best friend was the person behind all these. She had no idea why she gained weight and had always blamed it on herself for being gluttonous. She had no idea that it was under the influence of medication.

“What should I do now? Does it mean that I’ll recover once I stop drinking the tea? Will I slim down with consistent exercise?” Sharon looked forward to it. Previously, slimming down was akin to miracle to her. It was an unachievable and extravagant hope. She saw hope. Since jackie could decipher the situation, he might have a way to solve it.

“the tea leaves must have been soaked in Tanio liquid before drying and giving it to you! It’d be easy to get rid of the addiction if you’ve just started using these leaves for one or two months. But you’ve been using them for a long time and you can’t live without them. You’re addicted to it and long for the smell of it!” jackie laughed and continued, “I can help you, but you have to promise me to not ask me to marry you after I’ve helped you. Let me go and you can marry a young man who’s better than me!”

“It’ll be hard to find a better man than you!” Sharon pouted before continuing, “Okay, you have my words. I’ll stop pestering you as long as you treat me and I manage to lose twenty-five kilograms of weight. And I’ll treat you as my best, best, best friend ever!”

“Alright! Sit down and I’ll treat you now! After you return home, don’t drink the tea anymore. You’ll no longer be addicted to the smell and I can even make you disgust it! As for the twenty-five kilograms that you mentioned, it’s too little. It won’t be a problem even if you want to lose fifty kilograms in a few days!” jackie nodded and as he opened her palm, a small box appeared out of thin air. There was a collection of silver needles inside.

Chapter 326 ”How is it possible to lose fifty kilograms in three days? Will that be too fast? Are there any side effects? Can your silver needles work? This is the first time I’ve ever seen such a method!” Sharon was extremely excited. If jackie was not lying to her, her weight would decrease down to 50 kilograms. If that was the case, she would be quite slim.

After all, she was around 170 centimeter tall and her figure would be absolutely perfect if her weight was around 50 kilograms.

“the silver needles are to get rid of the toxins in your body. Although your body didn’t react to it, the medications carry toxins! The toxins stay in your body and it’ll be fine after you vomit. You won’t crave for the tea leaves after and you can get rid of your addiction! Throw the tea leaves away when you get home. As for slimming down, I’ll give you three pills for that later. This is something that I made myself and it’s worth a sky-high price. Eat one every day and I’m sure that you’ll lose fifteen kilograms daily.” jackie smiled and took out a silver needle. He slowly pricked it into one of the acupuncture points on the top of Sharon’s head.

“Can you see clearly in the dark here?” Sharon was worried. After all, jackie was a veteran, an ex-soldier.

A soldier told her that he could cure her disease and get rid of the toxin in her body. Something felt fishy there… However, she had always been looking forward to slimming down. Her life had been very tiring

as she would be huffing and puffing walking up and down the stairs. This made her feel worthless and she wanted to give up life. jackie had given her hope and it might be her only hope. Even though it was quite unbelievable that jackie was treating her as a veteran, Sharon still chose to believe in jackie.

jackie was able to sense Sharon’s worries and said, “Don’t you worry. I’m a highly skilled doctor in the warfield. Both killing and saving people are my strong suits!”

“Really, I know a miracle-working doctor in the warfield and he’s really good! He saved lots of soldiers! This person is my idol. He’s not only a God of War, he’s also a doctor that saves lives!” Sharon smiled indifferently and said.

jackie, who was behind her, heard this and felt awkward. Would he frighten her if he told her that the person she was talking about was his disciple, Ethan Hays? Only a small number of people knew that jackie was a miracle-working doctor. jackie was the doctor in the beginning but he got tied up later on as assignments started to pile up. Subsequently, he discovered that Ethan had medical knowledge and was very gifted so he passed on his knowledge to him.

Although Ethan’s skills were not as good as his and would constantly call him to ask for help, Ethan was publicly known as the miracle-working doctor. On the other hand, nobody knew that jackie’s skills were far more advanced than Ethan.

“What… What’re you doing?” Selena was having dinner until she noticed that jackie did not come into the house for a long time. She looked out of the house and saw both of them sitting under the big banyan tree.

She was too curious so she walked toward them to have a look. She was surprised by what she saw. jackie had actually pricked a silver needle on top of Sharon’s head.

The bodyguard who stayed back and was responsible to send Sharon home also followed Selena from the behind. He almost jumped in fright when he saw what was going on.

His face darkened and he spoke angrily, “Young man, what’re you doing? You’re only a veteran. If something happens to Miss Sharon, your entire family will have to die with her!

“Don’t interrupt, he’s treating me!” Sharon hushed.

Chapter 327 ”Treatment?” Selena and the bodyguard were stupefied by the answer. This young man could give treatment?

However, since Sharon warned them not to disturb, they kept quiet and could only wait silently by the side. After some time, there were around a dozen silver needles on Sharon’s head. jackie turned the needles slightly with complete focus and attention. He removed needles one by one after a while. The bodyguard relaxed when he saw that Sharon was fine after the needles were taken down.

Suddenly, Sharon spitted out a mouthful of blood and her face turned pale.

“What’s going on? Young man, what’s wrong with Miss Sharon? You’re dead if something’s wrong!” The bodyguard was frightened when he saw what happened. He tightened his fist as he looked at jackie angrily and was about to hit him.

“This is poisonous blood. I’ve circulated all the toxins out of her body!” jackie smiled indifferently.

He took out three smelly pills and passed them to Sharon. “Take one daily. Remember to take them half an hour after breakfast!”

“Okay, Thank you. I’ll repay you if I really made it!” Sharon smiled and continued, “You’ll be my best friend then!”

jackie smiled and said, “You don’t have to repay me. I can sell my medication for ten or one hundred million per pill. I’ll give this to you and I only have one request. Stop pestering me and stop thinking about marrying me, okay?”

Sharon was extremely embarrassed and she smiled. “Alright, I promise!”

Selena, who was by the side, felt moved by what jackie did. This guy was bragging. How could three black as charcoal pills cost so much? Only Sharon, who was a simpleton would believe in him.

“Oh yes, I think it’s best for you if you don’t leave your house for these three days! You’ll have frequent toilet trips. I’m also afraid that your parents might not recognize you if you hide and suddenly appear in front of them. Don’t meet anyone and just be with your parents! Observe the results after three days!” jackie thought and reminded Sharon.

“Okay. As for that bastard, Selena, I won’t meet her for these three days. I’ll get back to her after I feel better. She’s too much! I’ve been treating her so well but she wants to hurt me!” Sharon was extremely angry when she thought about how Selena was the reason behind her misery. She would definitely get revenge for this.

Sharon soon left in a car with her bodyguard.

“What medication did you give her? You even bragged that it can be sold for ten to one hundred million!” After Sharon left, Selena glared at jackie and asked.

“A wonder and efficacious medicine!” jackie smiled and said, “Honey, why did you follow me out? Were you worried that I’ll be kidnapped?

Chapter 328 “Impossible. She could take you off my hands, no one cares. After all, you don’t need to worry about money if you leave with her! It’s good for you to get a fat wife too!” Selena was touched but did not want to admit it. She turned and walked toward the house.

She had no idea how any woman would confess and propose to jackie just after his few days of returning home. At first Selena thought she was the young rich woman who wore a mask and had a nice figure. If

jackie had a relationship with the woman, would he abandon her and their daughter? She would be the biggest joke in the world. She had no idea that it would be the fat lady, Sharon George.

“Although she’s fat, she has a good foundation. It’ll be vital news when Sharon becomes a pretty lady three days later!” jackie smiled indifferently and quickly remembered something. He slapped his head and exclaimed, “Sh*t, I forgot to remind her to not tell anyone about how I helped her slim down. Will I be in trouble if she told people about it?”

“Those three pills are for her to slim down?!” Selena felt awkward. Sharon’s condition had been ongoing for many years. She had visited many doctors but they could not come up with a diagnosis and cure.

Many people called that a ‘strange disease’. Everybody felt that there was no way to cure her. jackie had only given her three pills and would that be the cure? She wondered if jackie was lying to Sharon. Selena then thought, the pills that jackie gave Sharon would not have any side effects even if it did not help her lose weight. After all, jackie was not stupid so he would not give her poison or harmful drugs.

“She had really left! It’s good that she left! Everything is fine as long as she’s not angry!” Fiona felt relieved when she saw jackie and Selena returned. “Although Sharon is chubby, she’s quite a beauty. jackie, you can really consider her. However, it’ll only work if she’s the second wife and addresses Selena as her elder sister!”

“Mother, you love money too much!” Selena was speechless and she glared at her mother.

“who doesn’t love money? We’ll be looked down on if we don’t have money, we can’t afford meat if we don’t have money, you’ll still need to pick up trash like you used to if we don’t have money. Kylie won’t have the money to study in a normal kindergarten, let alone the kindergarten she’s studying at now! Do you think money is not important? I’ve suffered so much from the lack of money these past five years. We enjoyed good food when we were in the Taylor family. Because of jackie, we had to…” Fiona started complaining and did not stop even after her daughter warned her.

Selena could only keep her mouth shut. She had no idea how long Fiona would complain if she did not stop her.

Finally, Selena looked at jackie and said “ jackie, go have dinner. We’ve finished our meal!”

Soon, Sharon arrived home alone happily. However, every member of the George family was waiting for her at the door.

“Dad, mum…” Sharon felt something fishy about the atmosphere so she greeted timidly.

Chapter 329 ”Follow us into the house!” Mister George said with a dark face.

Soon, Sharon and the others arrive at a very big living room.

“I heard that you confessed to somebody today? That person is a man who married into the wife’s family and is a veteran, right? Not only that he’s from a poor family, he has a wife and a child, right?” Mister George was extremely angry. His daughter had let him down and it was a stain on the George family’s prestige.

Although it was humiliating, all could be forgiven if she succeeded. At least his daughter got a husband. However, jackie did not know Sharon so the possibility of Sharon failing her confession was huge. Their family would lose their face if she failed.

“Dad, I had no idea that you still care so much for me. You know about all the details!” Sharon lowered her head, secretly smiled and said.

“You…” Mister George was very angry when he saw his daughter smile. He glared at her. “Do you know that you have put us in shame because you confessed and asked someone from that family background to marry you. You’re not the only shameful one, us as a family is affected too!”

“Yes, Sharon. Your admirers come from nice families and you…prefer a soldier. Sigh, I have no idea what’s in your mind!” Sharon’s mother was so angry that she was speechless.

She almost fainted when she knew about this. Her daughter had no shame. The main concern was, her daughter had been gaining weight as days went by. If this did not stop, she was afraid that her daughter’s weight would hit 150 kilograms.

“Dad, mum, he’s a really nice man! Furthermore, it really doesn’t matter to be rejected. To keep the feelings to myself would have hurt more!” Sharon explained, “However, he’s a really nice man. Although he didn’t like me, he didn’t reject me in public. He asked my bodyguards and friends to leave before he suggested that we speak privately. That way, not only that I wasn’t publicly shamed, he honored me by speaking to me in private!” Sharon smiled and continued, “All of you don’t have to worry about me. Although I can’t be with such a nice man, I’m very grateful that I met a nice person like him! And I might meet someone suitable for me in the future!”

“Didn’t reject you in public? Asked others to leave first?” Mister George was relieved and confused at the same time. “It seems like jackie is a very nice person. He puts himself in other people’s shoes and cares about their feelings!”

“Oh yes, dad, mum. I won’t be leaving the house for three days. You guys shouldn’t go out too. Stay and look at how I slim down in three days! I’ll lose fifty kilograms in three days. This is what jackie told me. Who would’ve known that he was also a doctor!” Sharon smiled and sighed again. “Sigh, I really want to marry him. It would’ve been so good if he liked me too!”

“Fifty in three days? He must be a liar!” Mister George and his wife looked at each other and were speechless.

Chapter 330 ”Liar? Impossible, I trust him!” Sharon smiled and continued, “I’ll go up, take a bath, and sleep. Tomorrow morning, after I have breakfast, you can observe how I can lose my weight!” She walked toward the villa she stayed in after she spoke.

“We prepared your favourite, chicken thigh, cakes and other nice food. You don’t want to have dinner?” Mister George looked at his daughter from the back and asked in disbelief.

A few days back, Sharon would have said that she was hungry and started eating and drinking to her heart’s content. She actually said that she wanted to take a bath and sleep.

Sharon turned around and frowned. “That’s weird. I don’t feel hungry now. It’s like I don’t have any appetite!” She walked outside on her own after she finished speaking. She understood very well that this was the effect of jackie forcing the toxins out of her body.

“She’s not hungry!” Every member of the George family opened their eyes widely as if they saw ghosts.

The members of the George family did not pay much attention to it. They went to bed after food. The next morning, Sharon woke up and had food. She did not eat much with only a glass of soya milk and two Chinese crullers. Sharon rested for a while after food before taking out the pill and was ready to swallow it.

“Wait, what’s this medication? Who gave it to you? Is it from the soldier?” Mister George was surprised when he saw this and quickly asked about the details.

“Yes, he gave it to me. He said that this medication works well!” Sharon said with a smile.

“No! You can’t take that!” Sharon did not expect Mister George to walk forward, slap her hand, and caused the pill to fall on the ground. He even stepped on it. “Why eat this? How can you eat medication given by a soldier? You’re the only heir of the George family. If you die, we’ll be left with nothing!”

“Dad, why did you step on it?” Sharon almost cried out from anger when she saw the pill that had been crushed into powder. “I went through a lot of hardship to get this pill. Why… Why did you step on it!”

“Daughter, you can’t take this medication!” Madam George stepped forward and said, “He’s a mere soldier, not a doctor. How can you eat something from him? Who does he think he is? What should we

do if anything happens to you?”

“Mother, he said that he’s a doctor and he can recognize the reason for my illness! I only have this one chance. All other doctors failed to cure me!” Sharon stomped her foot in anger. “If I need to continue my life like this, I’d rather die. So, I have to try it. Besides, you know that he’s a soldier that fights for Daxia. How will a person like him feed me poison?”

“But, this doesn’t look like medication. The medication from the regular hospital comes in tablets and what he gave you not only looks like black like rats’ defecate, it has a slight stink to it. I suspect it to be rats’ defecate that he shaped into a ball!” Mister George said helplessly.

Sharon ignored them. She walked over and drank some water. She then took out another pill, placed it into her mouth and swallowed it before the others realized what she did.

“There’s more!”

“Don’t swallow!”

“Miss Sharon, it’s dangerous. Let somebody else try it first!”

However, it was too late. Sharon had already swallowed the pill.

Chapter 331 “I trust jackie!” Sharon looked at the others and said, “I believe in him and I can lose weight! Ouch, my stomach hurts! I need the toilet!” Sharon immediately covered her stomach and went looking to the toilet after speaking.

“How’s that possible? Stomach Ache? Oh no, does it have something to do with the medication? How can the medication act so fast!” Mister George was in fright. “Oh god, there must be something wrong with the pills. If not, why will my daughter’s stomach hurt? What should we do, what should we do?!”

“Let’s observe, it might be nothing!” Madam George thought about it and everybody soon waited outside the toilet.

“Oh, that’s much better!” Sharon came out from the toilet after some time. However, she started covering her stomach again after some time. “Why is this happening again? Why do I feel that I’m passing out water? Am I having diarrhea?”

Sharon walked toward the toilet again while leaning on the wall.

“Bastard, how is this medication? This must be croton!” Mister George was so angry that he held his hands in fists and his face turned red.

He only had a daughter and what should he do if something happened to her? Although she was slightly chubby, she was cute. Apart from that, how could he not love his only daughter!

“Luca, bring people to jackie’s house and bring everyone back here!” Mister George quickly ordered, “If anything happens to my daughter, I want them to die ugly!”

“Yes, master!” Luca Zucker immediately cupped his hands as a gesture of respect and left with a group of bodyguards.

Sharon came out twice but she went back into the toilet as soon she walked out the door. In the end, she remained seated on the toilet bowl and did not come out. This caused the others to worry and they had no idea what to do.

…

“Xena jackieson, how dare you come back here with my son?” At the house where jackie and the others stayed, Fiona looked at Xena, who came back with Ben, angrily.

“Mother, please don’t act this way. I think there must be some misunderstanding between us!” Xena lowered her head and mumbled out after a while.

“Yes mother, there must be some misunderstanding!” Ben immediately supported Xena and said.

“Misunderstanding? How can that be a misunderstanding? She was the one who worked together with the motor robbers and robbed me money! The motor robbers had already admitted to it!” Fiona looked at Xena angrily. She refused the 100 million from Neil but this three million was her only worth now.

How could Fiona calmed down when she thought about how the money was almost robbed away and they almost failed to take it back?

“I know those people but I didn’t tell them. They are misleading you!” Xena had an aggrieved expression.

Chapter 332 ”Misled me? How have they wronged you?” Fiona frowned and asked suspiciously.

Xena waved her hand and said, “No, not wronged. They’re framing me on purpose. I didn’t work together with them. It happened like this, because we knew each other, they asked me about my boyfriend’s situation after we had drinks and said that I’ve found a poor guy!”

Xena quickly thought about it. “I was unhappy that they said that and replied that we are not poor. I said that you’re rich and that you’ll bank in an amount of more than three million tomorrow! I had several drinks and I told them everything as I was semi-conscious, so…”

Ben immediately said with a smile, “Father and mother, listen. I was right when I said that you have misunderstood Xena but you don’t believe me!”

“Impossible, jackie said that he saw you when he followed them. On top of that, the motor robbers told us that you get a twenty percent of the cut!” Fiona still insisted. She walked forward and pushed Xena. “Shoo, get out! Taylor family doesn’t want a daughter-in-law like you. We treated you so well but you’re actually a bad person!”

“Mother, you have really misunderstood me. You cannot believe what one-sided story jackie told you!” Xena said while crying, “You know that Ben’s sister doesn’t like me so jackie, his brother-in-law dislike me too. How can you believe everything he said?”

Fiona started wondering what happened when she heard what Xena said. She looked at Xena’s aggrieved expression and felt that she was not lying. Previously, Xena looked down on jackie and she had spoken out for their family many times. Hence, jackie might have a grudge toward Xena and was doing this to chase her away.

Xena was happy when she saw Fiona hesitating. She immediately went forward and said, “Mother, blame me for everything. I blame myself for telling what I told to those people after I got drunk. I was also drinking with them the second time you guys went to carry out the deposit. I told them everything because I was drunk and I wanted to show off that the Taylor family was rich and not poor people!”

“Mother, you’ve known Xena for a couple of years. She had been living with us when we were poor. You don’t believe in what she says but you believe in jackie. He doesn’t like Xena and he would have said anything to chase her away! Besides, I understand Xena, she’s not that kind of woman.” Ben spoke on behalf of Xena.

“My son wouldn’t have done that. Why would he wrong Xena?” Joan, who was by the side, could not continue to hear what they were saying and rebutted with a darkened expression, “I feel that Xena isn’t what she claims she is!”

“you’re jackie’s mother so it’s natural that you take his side.” Xena hugged her chest with both hands and said enigmatically, “However, I can understand. After all, no mother will help outsiders instead of their own son, but the truth is in front of you!”

Joan opened her mouth but had nothing to say. She was a peaceful person, how could she win a fight with somebody like Xena?

“Fine, fine. Let’s just let this issue go. It might really be a misunderstanding! By the way, Xena, you need to drink less and control your words. After all, misfortune comes from the mouth. Do you understand me?” Fiona looked at Xena, thought about it and said, “Oh yes, I heard that a lot of people died in the woods outside of the house yesterday. Is it possible that they were killed by jackie?”

Xena immediately said in surprise, “Really? No way! I had no idea. No wonder I couldn’t reach my friend’s via phone. jackie must have killed them to get the money back!”

Chapter 333 Xena paused and sighed before she continued speaking, “Sigh, jackie is too bloody and violent. He killed those people because of money. What will happen to us if we wronged him in the future? Will he also…” Xena did not continue but the meaning behind those words were clear to the others.

Fiona and Ben looked at each other and felt chill travel through their spines. It was true that jackie killed people for money and it was too much. If those people hit him, he could have just taught them a lesson. However, if they knew about the actual situation, that somebody pointed a gun at jackie, they would not have these thoughts.

“It’s true that jackie has a bad temper, he even hit Young Master Clark without any explanation! Luckily Young Master Clark did not say anything because he was afraid about losing his honor if he told his family about it!” Ben frowned and smoked his cigarette. “ jackie needs to control his temper. After all, this isn’t the warfield.

At this moment, around a dozen cars stopped outside their house and a group of bodyguards came walking angrily toward them.

“Who’re you? Are you looking for someone?” Fiona immediately stepped forward and asked. She wondered what was going on.

“Bring everyone here with us!” Luca ordered.

The bodyguards caught Fiona and the others, stuffing them into the car.

They left after they searched the house and made sure that there was nobody there.

Soon, everybody was brought into the living room of a villa and were brought in front of Mister George.

“This… Where are we?”

“Did you make a mistake?”

“We didn’t do anything! Have you made a mistake?”

Fiona and the others were extremely afraid when they saw that extremely extravagant house.

“Our people won’t make such low-level mistakes!” Mister George had a darkened expression on his face. He looked at Ben and Xena before saying, “You two must be jackie and Selena, right? If anything happens to my daughter today, all of you here have to die with her!”

After hearing what he said, Fiona and the others were so frightened that their faces turned pale. Surely, the troublemaker jackie had caused trouble again.

“No, no, no… Boss! No, mister, you’d really made a mistake! I’m not jackie and she isn’t Selena. My name is Ben and I’m Selena’s brother. This is Xena, my girlfriend!”

“These two are my parents and this is jackie’s mother!” Ben was so frightened that his voice was trembling. He continued his explanation, “ jackie must be the one that offended you and your daughter. You only need to get him and I know where he is. Go catch him and it’s fine for you to kill him too, but we’re innocent!”

“You’re his family!” Mister George smiled coldly and said, “Since you’re his family, this isn’t a mistake. If anything happens to my daughter, all of you have to die. jackie will suffer and regret if all you’re dead!”

Chapter 334 When Andrew and Fiona heard that, they shook in fear. They did not expect the other party to think that way.

“Brother, please don’t do that. You’re after jackie. He’s got nothing to do with us, just a stay-in son-in-law. Right, I haven’t even acknowledged him as my son-in-law yet. I hate him very much. please let us go. We’re innocent!” Fiona asked while chuckling.

“What’s this place?” Xena looked around and felt that the place was too big. She had no idea which family it was, but it was definitely a lot richer than the Taylor family.

“He’s the master of the George family!” One of the servants huffed. “Since you’re caught, don’t even think about getting out of here.”

“George family! The first-class aristocratic family!” Xena gasped, totally at a loss for words. Why did jackie offend the George family?

She was really unlucky. If she knew this would happen, she should have just broken up with Ben. Her original plan was to get to know more rich folks through Ben. Not only did she not get her hands on the money, she had even gotten herself in trouble.

“Wait… Wait a minute. I remember now! Yesterday night, Miss George proposed to jackie. He didn’t offend her then, right? Mister George, what’s going on? Is Miss George angry? If that’s the case, it can be easily solved. I can help you persuade him to marry Miss George. That way we’ll be one big family! Let’s talk this out peacefully. There’s no need for violence!” Fiona was laughing apologetically while she was thinking of ways to kill jackie. The trouble he created was bringing trouble to all of them. What an annoyance.

“Humph, jackie is despicable. He gave my daughter three pills, claiming that it can help her lose weight and purge the toxins from her! However, my daughter is stuck in the toilet suffering from diarrhea ever since she ate the pill. If this goes on, she won’t be able to handle it! I suspect that jackie fed my daughter

croton just to make my daughter purge.” Mister George was furious and spoke through gritted teeth, “He’s too vile. He can just reject my daughter if he doesn’t like her. Instead, he had others leave and ‘treated’ my daughter. I have a feeling that he’s intentionally toying with my daughter to mock her!”

After that, he thought again and said, “Tell me, where’s that son of a b*tch working now? I’ll send someone to bring him here! You’re his family, don’t even think of escaping!”

“Mister George, we’ll tell you where he’s working. Can you just let us go, please? They’re jackie’s family since Selena and jackie were legally married after all. This matter is made known to the entire Eastfield. However, I’m different. I’m only Ben Taylor’s girlfriend. I’m innocent. I’m not even remotely related to jackie!” Xena denied all ties with them with a pleading look.

The thought that Xena was still calling her mother and denouncing her when trouble comes had enraged Fiona and Andrew.

“Mister George, please let her go. She’s just my girlfriend and can’t be considered part of our family yet!” Ben helped to beg for mercy after taking a good long look at Xena.

After all, if the other party was angry and wanted to kill them, it would be best to save as many lives as possible.

“Ben, I miss you too, but I’m not considered as part of your family yet as I’m not married to you. I’m so sorry!” Xena looked at Ben with a grateful look on her face.

“That’s fine. You’re right, you’ve yet to marry into the family!” Ben put on a painful smile. Although he said those words, he felt slightly dejected.

Chapter 335 “Stop your drama. I said none of you will be spared!” Mister George smiled sinisterly and said, “Where are jackie and Selena working at? Out with it, or I’ll kill you right now!”

Fiona was scared, but at the thought of her own daughter, she managed to grit her teeth and replied, “Mister George, please let us go. We never thought jackie would feed your daughter weird medicine. He’s done it without any of us knowing. We’re innocent.”

“Tell me now. Where are they working?” Mister George appeared to have lost his patience. He grabbed Fiona by her collar and asked her angrily.

“Let go of my wife!” Andrew immediately rushed forward.

Unfortunately, Mister George sent him to the ground with a single kick. The bodyguards had also come forward and surrounded him.

“Tell me!” Mister George glared at Fiona. “If you don’t tell me, I’ll kill you right now!”

At that moment, Fiona was really terrified, answering nervously, “J… jackie is working as a bodyguard at the Drake family. Can I not say where my daughter is working? You should be looking for jackie!”

“The Drake family!” Upon hearing that, Mister George was stunned momentarily. If that was the case, then things would be quite troublesome.

Although jackie was just a bodyguard of the Drake family, they still had to respect the status of his employer. To go and capture him would piss off the Drake family, what could he do? However, after some consideration, he decided that it would be fine. He could just pay some money to the Drake family to compensate for their loss and have them hand him over. After all, his daughter should be worth more than a bodyguard of the Drake family. For that matter, he believed that the Drake family would understand.

At the same time, another old man from the George family took out a gun and pointed it at Xena’s head. “Tell me where Selena’s working at. Otherwise I’ll shoot you right now!”

“I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you! She’s working under one of the Drake family’s businesses, what’s that again, Dragon Dynasty Real Estate! She’s working there as a manager of the purchasing department!” Xena’s legs were shaking in fear as she blurted it all out.

The other party finally kept his gun while Xena slumped to the ground with her forehead drenched in cold sweat.

“Master, this is a little difficult. jackie is just a mere bodyguard. It should be easy to capture him!

“However, Selena is working at their real estate company as a manager. If we get her, that would disrespect the Drake family. If that happens, the Drake family will be angered!” Luca advised Mister George after some thoughts.

“Yes, that’s right. The Drake family favors my daughter greatly. Although she’s only a manager, her monthly salary is at one million dollars. They really like my daughter. If you go for my daughter, you’ll offend the Drake family!” Fiona’s eyes brightened. She took a few steps forward and exclaimed fearfully.

“Let’s do it this way. We’ll respect the Drake family and forget about Selena. As for jackie, we’ll get him. However, we can’t go for him in the Drake Residence. Find some people and have them hide outside. Have them capture him the moment he leaves the Drake Residence!” Mister George finally instructed after some considerations.

Chapter 336 Both Fiona and Andrew heaved an internal sigh of relief when they heard their daughter was not kidnapped. Still, they were furious, knowing that they could not escape the inevitable. It was all jackie’s fault. Never mind that he did not like Sharon; he actually used crotons to swindle her and told her it was some slimming medicine. The poor girl was suffering from diarrhea, still.

“I’ll take my leave now, Sir.” Luca gave a fist-and-palm salute before he swiftly left the scene. He knew jackie was a bodyguard and surmised he was a skilled fighter, so he went around finding other good fighters to recruit. Only then did he leave for the Drake family’s place of residence.

Joan internally sighed. She had pretty much anticipated everything Fiona and the others had done. However, she did not stand up for the sake of her son. She knew it was useless, even if she explained everything on his behalf. Besides, she had the utmost faith that her son would not be so stupid as to feed Sharon crotons. Her son was not someone like that; he would not prank someone even if he did not like them.

“Oh, much better!” Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Sharon finally emerged from the toilet, cold sweat rolling down her forehead.

“Dear, how are you? Are you okay?” Her parents immediately asked when they saw her come out, worry etched onto their expressions.

“I’m fine. I’m in good spirits, actually. I just sh*t a lot!” Sharon flashed an awkward smile. She then noticed the bodyguards before her, as well as Fiona and the others. “Mom, Dad, who are they?”

“Oh, they’re the parents-in-law of that punk, jackie White. I just took them here since they’re his family. Luca is now looking for him. Unfortunately, that punk is working as a bodyguard for the Drake family, so it’s wise for us to not apprehend him right away. I told Luca and his other comrades to wait at the entrance. They’ll catch him once he gets off from work! That jackie actually dared to feed you crotons, giving you a stomach ache,” the head of the George family spoke. “Hmph. I’ll definitely teach him a lesson once we get him!”

Sharon immediately saw red. “Mom, Dad, what are you two going on about?” she barked immediately. “ jackie only gave me slimming pills. I believe him. He told me that I’ll be able to lose 15 kilos within a day!” After she said that, she turned toward the bodyguards. “Just release them already and see them off,” she ordered. “Also, tell Luca to come back. jackie is a doctor. He’s probably a lot better than those western doctors in hospitals.”

The bodyguards looked at their masters, not moving a single inch.

When Fiona and the others heard this, confusion crossed their expressions. jackie? A doctor? They would never believe that in a million years. Sure, jackie had some knowledge on how to treat bones after being on the battlefield for so many years as a military man, and he managed to heal Andrew’s leg. Nonetheless, that did not mean he was qualified to help Sharon lose weight. Furthermore, healing a leg and losing weight were two completely different issues.

“That’s right! jackie definitely gave slimming pills. Mr. George, there’s a misunderstanding. Please let us go!” Xena reacted first as she cried out immediately.

All she wanted was to leave this place, and she would leave Eastfield at once. She would flourish wherever she went. Even if the head of the George family realized something was amiss afterward, it would be too late by then.

“I can’t let them go. I can’t verify if your body will have complications later! You were in the toilet for a long time just now. You must have eaten crotons. Look at you! You look so gaunt. I think you’ve gotten a little thinner!” The head of the George family observed his daughter and noticed she had looked a bit thinner. His heart clenched at the sight.

Chapter 337 “I look thinner?” Sharon’s eyes immediately brightened. “Quick! Get me a weighing scale. jackie did say that I’d lose 15 kilos within a day. Let me measure my weight and see if the medicine really is effective!” she sobbed. “Oh my goodness, don’t tell me that I’ll see results already!”

Sharon felt happiness surging through her body. If she had indeed lost weight, it would make her day.

Not long after, two bodyguards carried an extremely large weighing scale to her.

Sharon immediately stood on it. “I just weighed myself the day before,” she said. “I was 106 kilos then. Who knows if I’ve really lost weight!” After she said this, she noticed the numbers. “Oh my goodness! I’m

only 101.5 kilos now!” she abruptly burst in joy. “I just lost 4.5 kilos within moments. This is amazing!”

“No way. You really lost weight?” Mr. and Mrs. George exchanged glances, utterly astonished. The most she had been inside the toilet was probably an hour, and their daughter’s weight had really gone down.

“Seriously?” Joan was the first to rush over. She looked at the numbers as well. She was so moved that her eyes began to brim with tears. “I knew that my son wouldn’t cheat anyone. He’s no swindler, you can count on that. Since he said that it’d help Miss George to lose weight, he’d keep his words for sure!”

“Really? That’s fantastic!” Fiona was so ecstatic that she was practically dancing. From the looks of it, she almost burst into a square dance in front of everyone.

“Mr. George, since this isn’t a scam and that your daughter is fine, can we leave?” Andrew heaved another internal sigh of relief. The events just now had given them a shock of their lives.

“No way!” Mr. George’s instant reply caught them off-guard. “We don’t know the entire situation now. Who knows what medicine you’ve eaten? What if it has side effects? What if this weighing scale isn’t accurate? Who can say! Besides, what if something happens to my daughter again after we let you go? At any rate, we’ll wait until everything has settled down and verified before releasing all of you!”

“That’s right! No one can leave right now. A medicine that miraculous must have some side effects!” Mrs. George chipped in as well.

Fiona and the others were rendered speechless for a moment. All they could do was pray that this medicine from jackie was truly effective and had no side effects.

“Right. What if this scale isn’t accurate?” Sharon thought about it for a while before prompting them, “Get me another scale. I’m scared that this one isn’t accurate!”

“Yes, Young Miss!” The two bodyguards immediately ran off.

The minute they left, Sharon’s expression contorted once more. Clutching her stomach, she scurried to the toilet.

“She—she still needs to go!” Mr. George fell into a state of panic. If this went on, she could collapse from exhaustion.

After a while, the two bodyguards found another weighing scale. They waited outside. This time, Sharon only emerged from the toilet when it was nearing noon. She looked as though she had lost a lot of weight.

“My goodness. Her skirt is so much looser. She lost weight again. We can see that she really lost weight this time!” Fiona was extremely excited. Thank the gods; they were truly saved this time.

Chapter 338 “She’s grown thinner! She’s definitely grown thinner!” Mrs. George was extremely excited as well. This was practically a miracle.

“I’ll weigh myself and see!” Sharon could no longer contain her excitement. She immediately hopped onto the first weighing scale. She took a sharp intake of breath when she weighed herself. “My goodness, I’m only 97.5 kilos now. It’s unbelievable! I lost another 4 kilos. I still lost 4 kilos even if this scale isn’t working!”

“So you must’ve grown thinner!” Mr. George looked very pleased. He observed his daughter, noting that aside from the sweat filming over her body, she seemed to be in high spirits. Thus, it looked like there would be no complications for now.

Sharon excitedly ran over to the other weighing scale and observed the numbers, and soon after, she leaped in joy. “Mom, Dad, come over here and take a look. The numbers are the same! I’m 97.5 kilos. It’s amazing!”

97.5 kilos was probably far too heavy for other girls. They would probably feel that this was far from an occasion to celebrate. It was not a number that would make them happy. Still, these figures made Sharon extremely elated. She always wanted to lose weight; she would be happy for the entire day even if it was only one kilo. That dream had felt like wishful thinking to her before today.

“A total of 8.5 kilos already. 8.5! And it’s only noontime. Who knows if you’ll really be able to lose 15 by tonight!” A maid was extremely elated as well. She had always watched over and tagged after Sharon. She knew the amount of abuse and shame she had received from others throughout these two, three years.

“Mom, Dad, see? What did I tell you? jackie would never lie to me! He was a soldier, sure, but he’s also a doctor. And he’s a miracle doctor to me!” Sharon’s expression was radiating with nothing but joy. A thought then occurred to her as she added, “Aren’t you going to release them already?”

“Sharon, aren’t you worried that there’ll be side effects? Why don’t we wait till nighttime and see if your body is truly free from complications? I won’t just release them then; I’ll treat them to a nice meal! I’m just preventing the worst-case scenario from happening, all right?”

Mr. George continued, smiling, “Come, give them seats and prepare refreshments for them. They’re my guests now. If my daughter truly turns out to be fine, I’ll definitely express my thanks!”

Delight sparked in Fiona when she heard that Mr. George would ‘express his thanks’. From the looks of it, it was ridiculously obvious that Sharon was losing weight. If jackie truly was skilled in medicine and could truly treat Sharon’s strange illness, then everything would be perfect. Never mind if Mr. George did not give them money; it was an honor of its own if he treated them to dinner. If they could create good relations with the George family, they would not have to worry so much in the future. They would have another family to rely on.

Following this train of thought, Fiona immediately spoke up, chuckling, “Pardon us then. Oh dear, we never thought that this son-in-law of ours would be well-versed in medicine as well. He’s probably met

some skilled doctor and learned quite a bit from him while he was in the army!”

Resentment filled Joan’s chest. When they initially heard that they were going to be killed, Fiona and the others felt so hateful that they were ready to immediately cut off all ties with jackie. They even went on to say he was an outsider in their family. Now that the situation was in their favor, not only did she call him her son-in-law, but she said it so easily!

“Oh no. My—my stomach. It hurts again!” After Sharon rested for a while, she suddenly clutched her stomach. Yet happiness danced in her eyes. “I think I’m going to lose weight again!”

“Hah! Go on, go on!” Mrs. George could not help but smile. She was not so worried this time around.

…

At the Drake family’s residence, jackie had just arrived and was prepared to do his work. He never expected that Kyle and a few other bodyguards would meet him once he stepped through the doors.

Chapter 339 jackie frowned when he saw that it was Kyle. “Sir. Don’t tell me you want to challenge me again.”

“No way. You’re way stronger than I am. I’ve got better things to do than to challenge you to a fight I’ll lose.” Kyle chuckled and stepped forward, offering a cigarette to jackie. “Come on now, jackie. We’ve already thought it through—you’ll be the big brother of the Drake family’s bodyguards from now on. And as our big brother, the rest of us bodyguards will listen to you!”

jackie did not take the cigarette; he took out his own White-Sand cigarette instead. “I only smoke cigarettes from this brand,” he said, smiling. “I’m not used to your premium cigarettes!”

Kyle had felt extremely awkward when jackie had actually declined the cigarette. It embarrassed him as the squad leader. However, he never expected jackie’s explanation. It made the awkwardness dissipate in an instant.

He smiled and slipped the cigarette between his teeth instead. “You’re quite unique, jackie. Even your hobbies are a lot more special than ours.”

“Whatever you like. Just call me whatever you want to call me!” jackie stretched his limbs, thinking for a moment. “But, since you’re already calling me Big Brother, then you better perform well in the future!”

“Of course!” Kyle professed as he pounded his chest.

“All right then!” jackie nodded and went inside.

He went to the living room, located on the first floor of Tanya’s villa. At the moment, she was drinking tea with her cousin, Yvonne. Yvonne was dressed in a black midi dress that just happened to cover her knees today. With her fair skin tone, this contrast made her look even more attractive; an air of elegance and allurement clouding her. The smile on her face instantly vanished when she saw jackie entering. Anger boiled in her once she recalled what had happened yesterday, when that punk had seen something he should not have seen.

Alas, Tanya had specifically told her that jackie might have a special connection to the Goddess of War and that the Drake family still needed to be on his good side. This sparked even more hateful thoughts in Yvonne. She wanted nothing more than to break him and destroy him for good.

‘No way. I can’t just let this slide. I need to think of a way to put him in his place. I’ll never be satisfied otherwise!’ Yvonne thought about it for a while, then she thought of something. She grinned at her cousin. “Tanya, I haven’t been to Gemstone Street in such a long time. Why don’t we walk around there today?”

“Sure. I haven’t gone shopping in a while. Let’s go!” Tanya immediately agreed.

“Then should we bring your personal bodyguard along? After all, no way we can go there without a bodyguard. A lot of rich people go there, but there are plenty of pickpockets in places like that. Moreover,

it gets quite chaotic there!” Yvonne then cast a glance toward jackie. The implicit message in her words was clear.

“All right. We won’t bring anyone else but him then. He’s worth a few dozen men alone!” Tanya replied, smiling.

“A few dozen? You underestimate me!” jackie flashed a mirthless smile and added, “I’m worth a thousand if all I’m facing are grunts!”

Chapter 340 “What a boast! As if you’re a god of war yourself.” jackie’s words made Yvonne roll her eyes. She would probably believe it if a bodyguard of the Drake family was worth a hundred men, but ‘worth a thousand men’ was pushing it.

“Let’s go. It’s getting a little late now. The earlier the better when it comes to choosing gambling rocks. Otherwise, someone with a good eye for them might take the good ones!” Tanya said, smiling.

Yvonne was taken aback for a moment. “Oh? Looks like you know quite a bit about this, Tanya,” Yvonne praised her.

Tanya merely rolled her eyes heatedly. “I learned everything from you, okay? You’re such a nut for these gambling rocks, always bringing me out to Gemstone Street. I’ve been there so many times already, so of course I know all these basic things!”

The duo chatted away as they walked to the center of the courtyard outside the mansion.

“Oh, right. Do you know anything about this, jackie?” Tanya turned to ask her bodyguard when she noticed he had not said a word.

Yvonne interrupted them before he could even open his mouth. “Him? Hmph. He’s a military man. I even heard that he was a delivery boy before. Do you truly think that he knows anything about gambling rocks,

a pastime of the rich and the affluent? Something like this is way out of his league. How could he have ever come across it?”

“I’m just asking. What if he knows something?” Tanya rebutted, an awkward smile on her face as she did so.

“Something like that is truly a rich person’s pastime. A regular family would never have the means to dabble in it.” jackie’s lips curled into a wry smile. He opened the door of Tanya’s sportscar when they reached it. “Basically, gambling rocks are a gamble on the inside of a rock,” he said. “A single cut will make or break you. Once you’ve set your sights on the correct item, there might be a gemstone that will turn you into an instant millionaire. Of course, you’ll lose out if you chose the wrong rock!”

“Not bad. I never thought that you’d hear of our saying ‘a single cut will make or break you’.”

Yvonne gave a humorless smile. She opened the car door and slid into the backseat. “Let’s go,” she said. “I’ll help you broaden your horizons today. I’m the number one rock dealer in the gambling rock world. I can make a few million within a month with some luck; even 10 million and more isn’t a problem!”

“You only make 10 million, and you call yourself the number one rock dealer?” jackie gave a humorless smile as he drove, his head shook in dissatisfaction.

“Hmph. As if you’ve such a fantastic eye. I don’t know about other places, but I’m telling you that I really am the number one rock dealer in Eastfield.” Yvonne chuckled and lifted her chin slightly, pride in her posture.

“He’s out. jackie is out, but he’s with Miss Tanya. It’s not a good time to capture him!” Among the cars parked at the opposite of the Drake family’s villa, Luca happened to be sitting in one of them.

He initially planned that he would wait until jackie got off from work, and he would then exit the main entrance before capturing him. Even if the Drake family was to launch an investigation of their own in the

future, jackie would no longer be alive. He was just a bodyguard. Furthermore, they did not directly kidnap him from the Drake family’s residence. As long as they gave some money, there was no way the Drake family would not agree to them. They never thought that they would see jackie driving out after not waiting too long, with two beautiful women in tow.

“Of course we can’t get him while he’s with Miss Tanya. What if something happens to her on her way back after we take jackie? We’ll be in serious trouble then!” Luca considered their predicament for a while. Then, he told his subordinates, “Never mind. Let’s just wait here. We’ll get him when he gets off from work in the afternoon—when he’s alone!”

Yet on another side, a black Audi was secretly following the sports car jackie was driving from a distance. There was a bodyguard in the Audi.

“Don’t get too close. It’ll be troublesome if that punk finds out we’re here. He’s a very skilled fighter!” he warned the driver.

Chapter 341 “Don’t worry, I’m an experienced driver. It won’t be easy to notice me!” The bodyguard driving the car flashed a wane smile and added, “Aren’t you curious why Young Master Hugo and Young Master Clark asked us to follow jackie and check the places he’s going to? And if he’s going to purchase anything expensive?”

The bodyguard beside him tacked on, “I think it’s like this. I heard jackie had promised he’d prepared a gift worth over 10 million dollars for the old head of the Taylors’ 70th birthday, right in front of the entire Taylor family! This 10-million gift is something extremely luxurious, and not even aristocrats can just frown upon it.”

“Oh. So the two Young Masters want us to see what he buys. Is that it?” guessed the bodyguard driving the car.

“They want to see if he actually buys a gift, and we’ll steal it from him if he does have enough money to buy such a gift. Then, when he can’t afford such an expensive gift or he actually buys the gift but can’t bring it out, he’ll be kicked out of the Taylors! The daughter of the Taylor family will then divorce him, and the two Young Masters will have a chance with her!” the other bodyguard explained.

Very soon, jackie parked the car and walked Gemstone Street along with the beautiful Tanya and gorgeous Yvonne. This particular street—with its stalls for gambling rocks—was not just long, but it was quite famous in the country. Proprietors of gambling rocks from a few nearby cities would come here to look at the goods here, too.

“Oh my. Isn’t that the beautiful Miss Yvonne? Long time no see! Where have you been all this time? Come over and have a look! There are quite a few potential gems in this lot—I feel it in my bones. Come over and buy to try your luck, Miss Yvonne!” An old man manning a stall by the roadside called out to Yvonne right after they took just a few steps in the streets.

Elation sparked in Yvonne. She was immediately recognized as soon as she stepped into the street. Was this not an evident indicator she was truly the number one rock dealer?

“All right. I’ll have a look!” Yvonne bent over and carefully scoured through the pile of rocks.

“Oh my. Yvonne Drake! I never thought that I’d see you here!” No one expected to hear a familiar voice ring out at that moment. It was Michael Wilson, the Young Master of the Wilson family, with a few bodyguards accompanying him. They appeared before jackie.

“Michael Wilson!” Yvonne stood upright once she saw that it was Michael. She dusted her hands before speaking, “Long time no see. How much money have you…invested in these rocks this month?”

The corners of Michael’s mouth twitched when he heard this. He did enjoy gambling rocks, but he had lost plenty of money on this pastime. Yvonne reveled in making fun of him with this information.

However, Michael quickly managed a smile. “That was before, Yvonne. Now I’m much more knowledgeable in the art of choosing rocks. This month, not only have I not lost money, but I’ve earned 2.3 million up to this date!”

“So little! What’s there to be proud of?” Yvonne retorted, a grin on her face as she did so.

Michael’s gaze sidled toward jackie, and a spark of envy twinged in his chest. Both Tanya and Yvonne were beauties of the Drake family. One was as lively and adorable as a fairytale princess, the other a vixen who was unabashedly seductive. Who knew jackie would be so lucky to be a bodyguard for the Drake family and had gotten the chance to accompany two breathtaking ladies.

“Miss Tanya, it’s such a busy place with so many people—and the chaos! And you only brought one bodyguard with you? Never mind that; a bodyguard who has only worked for a few days to boot? Aren’t you afraid that someone will try to steal something from you?” Michael spoke with a cold smile on his face.

“Don’t worry, Young Master Wilson. Nothing will happen to Miss Tanya while I’m around, so don’t worry about her!” jackie replied.

Chapter 342 “I wouldn’t worry if I were you. I trust in jackie’s fighting prowess!” Tanya replied, a smile gracing her face as she did.

She paid no more attention to that fat b*stard, Michael Wilson, and studied the rocks laid upon the mat before her instead. Her eyes brightened in an instant as she picked one. “Hmm. This rock doesn’t look too bad,” she commented. “It’s big and square, and there are hints of jadeite on its surface. Not bad at all!”

“You have a good eye, young lady. This piece is certainly promising. And look at its color—that’s the key. It’s such a clear and crystalline green. As a matter of fact, I’m reluctant to sell it off myself. I really want to

give it a try as well. Alas, I’ve been short of money recently, so I don’t dare to gamble my luck!” The old man chuckled and thrust his palm forward, splaying his five fingers. “No need to weigh this. I’ll just give you an estimate of its value. I might lose out too much if I weigh it, after all. The price will be 500 thousand dollars; only then will I sell it off. I’ll just be running a loss if it turns out to be a fantastic gem once you break it apart! I’ll lose out on a lot if there’s a nice, pretty jade inside!”

Michael also peeked at the rock; it did seem rather promising. ‘What if he struck the jackpot this time and obtained a good gem once it was cut open?’ he thought. His reputation would grow exponentially! Besides, Yvonne always poked fun at him. This was a golden opportunity to prove himself!

He grabbed the rock instantly and studied it carefully. “It looks pretty good!”

Yvonne studied the rock as well. “It does seem promising from the surface, but it’s still a little too expensive,” she spoke after careful deliberation. “I’ll be running a loss if there’s nothing inside. 500 thousand is too much, my good sir. The most it’ll be worth is one hundred thousand if you actually weighed it according to standard operating procedure.”

“Hah. You lack boldness!” Young Master Wilson simply chuckled. Yvonne did not have that much money, so she was more careful on using them. This was evidently a chance for him to show off.

However, he was not one to simply throw his money away either. He smiled and spoke to the old man, “500 thousand is a little too expensive. Lower it to 400 thousand and I’ll buy it. I’ll gamble on this rock. My luck has been pretty good lately. I’ll probably make quite a bit of money with this!”

A few passers-by crowded over when they overheard the exchange.

The old man pondered upon the offer for a while. “All right then. 400 thousand it is. I’ve not opened up shop for today. Let’s take this as the opening ceremony then!”

“All right. I’ll transfer the money to you immediately. Can you help me open it up?” Young Master Wilson grinned, his heart skipping in delight. The rock looked promising from its surface. Even if only a quarter of it was jade, then not only would he avoid a loss, but he would earn some money as well. If more than half of it turned out to be jade, then he would make a pretty sum.

“You want it opened now?” The old man was slightly surprised. This request required a huge amount of courage. After the purchase, some people would take it home and mull it over before actually opening it. Moreover, they might feel that there was no guarantee of a gem inside and think of a way to sell it off.

Of course, there were others who cut it open to gauge the situation after taking the rock back. If it was in a good condition, the rock’s worth would increase exponentially. Here, they could choose to cut it open entirely or sell it out at an even higher price to secure profit.

“Just cut it! I won’t be running a loss if even a little jade is revealed!” Michael said confidently.

jackie could not suppress a grin when he saw the other man paying the agreed price. Who knew that his smile would be caught by Michael?

The young master’s expression darkened. “What are you smiling at, you punk? Take a good look. I can buy something worth 400 thousand just like that. This is a gambling rock—something that’s not for the likes for poor b*stards like you!”

“You just threw away your money for a plain rock, and you didn’t even break a sweat. You truly are rich!” jackie bit back, a humorless smile on his face.

“As if you know anything. Shut up! Just look at it. It looks nothing like a plain rock. Can’t you see the beautiful coloring on its surface?” Michael’s mood soured in an instant. If it was a plain rock, that meant that there was nothing inside but rock. It would be just like a gold-plated necklace, with the precious mineral only lining the surface.

Chapter 343 Needless to say, jackie’s words displeased Michael.

“Hmph. If you don’t believe it, just take a look at it for yourself once it’s cut open! But I’d advise you to take it back before cracking it open. You’ll at least be less embarrassed that way!” jackie chuckled.

“What a joke. You’re just a soldier. What do you know about this? I’d only dare gamble on this rock after studying it carefully. You’re standing two meters away, looking at it from a distance. How would you know it’s just a rock?” Michael gave a mirthless chuckle. “I think you just despise rich people. You’re spouting nonsense because you want to see me play the fool!”

“That’s right. People these days are so weird. Cursing others just because they can’t stand them having more money!”

“That’s right. How would he know anything about this anyway? They’re worlds apart. How would he know more than a young master of a wealthy family?”

Quite a few of the bystanders began whispering among themselves as they made fun of jackie.

“Young Master Wilson, which section should we cut open first? Should we just cut a small part first, or…?” The owner of the stall called for his two apprentices, and they set the rock upon the cutting machine.

“We’ll cut it open from this side!” Young Master Wilson shot jackie a vicious glare. “I don’t believe that I won’t see a hint of green when it’s cut from this side!” he said to the old man.

“That’s right. This rock is anything but a plain old rock!” The old man glared at jackie as well. “Don’t speak nonsense if you don’t know anything,” he said. “Talking as if you’re very knowledgeable. If you’re that smart, buy one for yourself and prove that you have a good eye!”

jackie glanced over the rocks on the floor. “Not a single one of these rocks from your stall are worth anything,” he said unexpectedly. “I’m not an idiot. Why should I buy them?”

The boss was so frustrated that he almost spat blood. That stupid punk deserved to die! How dare he claim that not a single rock from his stall was worth anything. He was ruining his business and reputation.

“You—” The old man was so furious that he merely shrugged jackie off. “What does a person like you know? Just cut it open. We’ll teach him a lesson or two. I don’t believe that there’ll be nothing once this side is cut!”

“All right, Master!” The two apprentices cut into the rock from one side, splitting it straightaway.

The crowd immediately surged forward. Young Master Wilson, especially, rushed forward impatiently. He took the rock; his expression instantly turned stormy. “No way. There’s not a single hint of jade! I don’t believe it… Cut it open from this side!” the unsatisfied Michael barked.

The two apprentices quickly cut the rock from another side. After it was cut, Michael was rendered speechless; there was nothing on this side either.

“It—It really is plain rock!” a member of the crowd spoke up in surprise, features twisted in shock. This meant that that man’s guess was correct.

Chapter 344 “Young Master Wilson, looks like your 400 thousand dollars have gone into the drain this time.” When Yvonne noticed all color leeched instantly from Michael’s face, she burst into cackles. She was not a fan of Michael Wilson. The level of Michael being fond of women was horrendously unacceptable.

There was a time when Yvonne walked on the pavement, and Michael stared at her thighs multiple times. There was even one time when this guy walked behind her on purpose; he pretended to fall

forward and grabbed her butt. These incidents left its mark in Yvonne’s heart that she could feel the annoyance wrenching within her at that moment.

If Yvonne was not part of the Drake family or Tanya’s beloved cousin, Michael might even do something more immoral and unscrupulous to her! Seeing Michael scammed made her see fireworks. The most important thing was that jackie, a gambling rock layman, could even guess it right. This situation for Young Master Wilson was definitely like a huge slap landed on his face, severely and harshly. What a shame!

The young master merely laughed it off “It’s only 400 thousand. It’s not like I can’t afford to lose it!” Young Master Wilson responded with a wry smile on his face. Although exasperation thrummed through his vein, he winded down instantly to uphold his reputation.

“You’re pretty good, jackie. You knew this was plain rock just by taking a look!” Tanya praised jackie for his ability to differentiate the gambling rocks, a gentle smile on her feature.

“Thank you. I just happen to know a little about these,” jackie replied with a humble smile.

“You know about stones? I think you were just lucky to guess it correctly!” Michael smiled icily with a mocking expression on his face. “If you really know these stones, buy one. Cut it open and we’ll have a look!” he snarkily commented. “If you could get a good one, I’ll admit that you’re capable!”

Once the last syllabus of Michael’s word dropped, Yvonne immediately stepped forward and proposed, “Michael Wilson, how about you compete against me? We’ll each choose one rock, and we’ll see whose is more valuable!”

“Sure. I can compete with you. But what is a competition when there’s no bet? If no bet is involved, why should I compete with you?” Michael egged her on.

Yvonne truly wanted to shame Michael in front of others. After giving some thoughts to the matter, she smiled and said, “Bet? Sure, why not! How about this: If you lose the bet, you kneel before me and bark like a dog!”

The corners of Michael’s mouth twitched aggressively at Yvonne’s words. This woman was too much. How could she ask him, a young master from a second-class aristocratic family, to kneel down and bark like a dog if he lost? If he really lost the competition, would it not be a shame to the Wilson family?

He stole glances at the enchanting and seductive figure of Yvonne; he could not help but move. “You’re definitely mean and cruel. Alright, as you wish! But if you lose the bet, you’ll make out with me for three minutes and I can touch and rub anywhere I want for a minute. How about that?”

“Dream on!” Yvonne felt a flash of irritation after hearing his suggestion.

“Well, then forget it!” Michael shrugged his shoulders, acting nonchalantly. “It’s not that I don’t want to bet with you, but you yourself forfeited!”

“If you don’t mind, I do have a suggestion. We don’t have to play this big. How about each of you pick one rock of a similar size, and if anyone loses, he or she will pay the bill for the other party,” jackie proposed after some thoughts. He then continued, “Of course, the rock will belong to whoever picks it!”

“Hmmm. It’s not a bad idea! Now what? Michael Wilson, would you dare to bet with me?” Yvonne asked with brightly shining eyes.

“Why not? I’m not afraid of you! Let’s pick a rock from this old man!” Michael pointed at the old man’s gambling rock stall.

“What? There’s no good rock here. Only one or two of them are, but they barely pass the satisfactory level!” jackie smiled bitterly. He, the supreme warrior, knew a lot more than others. Rock-betting was as easy as breathing for him.

Chapter 345 “How would you know any of these rocks aren’t of good quality? You didn’t even take a close look on them! Besides, you’re just a layman, so what do you know?” The old man who owned the gambling rocks stall reprimanded jackie. He was so livid that he wanted to choke jackie to death. Was this punk here to ruin his business and reputation?

“Shut up if you don’t know anything about gambling on rocks!” Yvonne rolled her eyes at jackie and squatted down to pick her rock.

After a while, she picked up one rock. “This is it,” she exclaimed. “This rock isn’t bad at all!”

Michael’s brows furrowed. He was not confident in this game as he knew Yvonne was more experienced than he was in this area, though he believed his ability to tell a good rock improved so much lately. Michael wandered between a few rocks for several times and eventually picked a rock of similar size. “This rock is it!”

jackie silently looked at both rocks chosen and approached Yvonne.

“Miss Yvonne, I suggest you change yours. Although your piece looks good from this angle, you’ll find that it’s not as Young Master Wilson’s once you cut it open,” jackie reasoned.

“Impossible!” Nevertheless, how could Yvonne believe his words? With a stern glance, she replied, “What do you know? From my years of experience, my rock is definitely of better quality than Young Master Wilson’s!”

“Miss Yvonne, although jackie is a nonprofessional in this area, sometimes the words from his filthy mouth are quite accurate! What if he’s right this time? Then I’ll win!” Michael commented without hiding any hint of happiness over his face.

“Hmph! I don’t believe I’ll lose to you!” Yvonne countered angrily.

“I’ll weigh these two rocks and quote you according to the current market price. It’ll be 10 thousand dollars per 500 gram!” spoke the stall owner.

“Not a problem!” Michael and Yvonne agreed instantaneously. This was indeed the market price.

After weighing the rocks, the rock belonging to Yvonne was around 7.55 kilograms whereas Michael’s weighed around 7.75 kilograms. They weighed almost the same.

“Let’s calculate it on the basis of 20 thousand per kilogram, it’ll be a total of 300 thousand dollars! Whoever loses the game will pay for it!” The old man said with a smile on his face. No matter who won the bet today, he would still have a huge profit out of it!

This was especially for the one that Young Master Wilson opened it earlier on. The old man planned to open it before that. He thanked his lucky stars that he did not open it but instead sold it to this Young Master Wilson. Otherwise, he would have lost 400 thousand dollars. The old man thanked God multiple times for that.

“All right!” Yvonne felt so sure of herself that she handed the rock confidently to one of the apprentices of the lapidary. “Cut mine first!” she spoke.

Not long after, the rough piece of Yvonne’s was cut open. Yvonne’s pallor was deathlike, looking at the content of the rock. There was a little jade inside the rock, but it was way too little, just a thin layer in it. Even if this rock was processed and polished into jade, it would only worth 10 thousand dollars or so. The fact that a rock worth 150 thousand became a pitiable 10 thousand pierced right through Yvonne’s heart, and she felt it bleed. The most atrocious thing was that she was on an unfavorable side. If she lost, she would have to pay 300 thousand dollars!

“ jackie, if I lose, it’s all because you jinxed me!” Yvonne turned her head facing jackie and threw him a deadly glare.

jackie did not know whether to cry or to laugh at this moment. “I already told you and asked you to change to another. I can’t help you if you don’t believe me, right?”

“Phew!” Michael heaved a huge sigh of relief when he saw Yvonne’s rock was not of a good quality. He then handed his piece of rock over to the apprentice. “Open mine now!”

Chapter 346 Yvonne felt her heart thrumming at her throat as she watched the apprentice cut Micheal’s rock open. She desperately prayed that the gambling rock Michael picked was worse than hers. If his rock was a plain rock or contained just a little bit of jade, then she still had the chance to win the bet. Alas, the stone was later revealed as a rock of better quality than hers though, despite being extremely unsatisfactory and trash worth only about 20 to 30 thousand dollars.

Michael guffawed in an instant. “Please forgive me, Miss Yvonne. Looks like I won this time!” Michael chuckled sardonically and continued, “Pay up! 300 thousand dollars!”

“Hmph! It’s only because Lady Luck was with you this time!” Yvonne snorted coldly before transferring money to the boss. However, because Yvonne was bent out of shape, she glared at the stall owner and complained irritably, “ jackie was absolutely right. Your stall has no good stones at all!”

Obviously, Yvonne spoke it out of anger. The stall owner would not dare to go against the Drake family even though he was displeased with her words. He could only laugh bitterly.

“Tsk! Him? He’s merely a lucky b*stard who guessed it by chance!” Michael sneered, his eyes burning in mockery.

“Hmm. Why don’t you bet with me?” jackie responded with a cold smile. “But, we’ll have to go to other stalls.”

“As you wish.” Michael’s mood lifted instantly and grinned. “I’ve never competed with a rookie like you. This is refreshing and rather interesting. Come now, what are you betting on?”

“Same as before. If you lose, you’ll pay for the other party!” jackie replied, smiling.

Michael, on the other hand, shook his head unexpectedly. “No, no, no! I can do it with Yvonne, but with you? Forget it! You’re just a poor and penniless punk. I know it hasn’t been long since you started working and haven’t gotten the pay yet, so you must have no money right now!” Michael turned him down. “So if you win this bet, I’ll have to pay for you, and you basically gain something from nothing, right? You can’t fool me with that cheap trick of yours!”

jackie was rendered speechless for a moment. He, jackie, had no money? Hilarious! With his current wealth, he could easily buy the entire Wilson family, but this fat Wilson had the audacity to say he had no money? He was too reluctant to argue with him anyway. “Then what do you want to bet?” he spoke.

After thinking about it, Michael replied devilishly, “How about this: If anyone loses the bet, he’ll get on his knees and bark like a dog!”

“Michael, this is a little too much. Are you sure you want to torture yourself like this? It’s a bad idea.” jackie laughed at Michael’s suggestion.

The corners of Michael’s mouth twitched involuntarily. “Funny. You don’t dare to bet, do you?” He leered at the veteran. “Don’t pretend to understand me if you don’t dare to bet!”

“Go ahead, jackie. I’ll pay for you.” Yvonne suddenly came forward, and with an interesting proposition to boot.

jackie was slightly taken aback at her words. “Wow! I really didn’t expect that the charming Yvonne would help me right now. It must be my lucky day! Okay. Let’s do it then. I’ll give you the rock after it’s opened. It’s the rock that you pay after all, right?”

“Don’t have to thank me. I always stand against injustice, just like Tanya!” Yvonne had a small, suppressed smile. The surge of giddiness overwhelmed her so.

This man accidentally saw her without clothes yesterday, and she searched for every possible way to exact her vengeance. Was this not a great opportunity? It did not matter who would lose at the end of this bet; she would still be satisfied. jackie kneeling down and barking like a dog would satiate the anger from yesterday’s incident, while Michael ultimately losing the bet would serve her justice from the loss she suffered minutes ago!

“Don’t pick a big rock, alright? I’ll lose a huge profit if it’s too big!” she hastily added after mulling over their bet.

Chapter 347 Regardless, jackie walked toward another stall and took a close look. “Don’t worry, Miss Yvonne. You’ll only be making more money, not lose it. If you lose it, I’ll reimburse you!”

“If that’s what you wish, then so be it! I’ll take it as you’re borrowing money from me this time. I’ll help you to pay first.” With a grin on her face, Yvonne held Tanya’s hand in hers as she approached jackie.

“I’ll take this piece, then,” jackie spoke as he pointed at one big rock.

The rock was square, and it was estimated to be around 15 kilograms just by looking at its size.

However, this big square rock was under the stall owner’s buttocks. The owner used it as a stool as she sat on it.

“What? Y—You want this piece?” The boss was a middle-aged woman. She froze at her seat for a good moment before she shot up from her seat. Hearing jackie’s words sent a rush of happiness through her being.

This big square rock had been in this stall since a year ago. The middle-aged woman initially hoped that some rookie would buy it because of its look; it looked smooth and shiny on the surface after all. However, a year had passed, and no one bought it. They all left after taking a closer look at it. Even the boss herself thought that it would be an unworthy plain rock since no one ever offered to buy it from her hands, hence she used it as an ordinary stone tool to keep her buttocks off the ground. The boss would not bother to bring the rock home every day after closing the stall had it not been for the tiny hint of red on its surface. It was heavy, after all.

She had never expected that, on this fine day, a young man expressed his interest in this rock!

” jackie, are you a fool? Everyone in Gemstone street knows that this rock has been sitting here for almost a year! Firstly, this rock is too big, and no one dared to bet on it. Secondly, its content isn’t exposed at all! There’s no sign of emerald nor jade on the surface, only a pitiful strand of red color! The red might be rubbed off after a few more times sitting on it.”

“Are you sure you’re choosing this one? You might as well just pay for both of us now!”

Michael burst into laughter, seeing jackie’s choice of rock. jackie; what a foolish man!

“ jackie, are you trying to burn yourself? This rock is at least 15 kilograms! It’s more than 300 thousand!” Yvonne shook her head, disagreeing with jackie’s choice. Even though she was not fond of jackie, she still hoped that he could beat Michael after seeing how snobbish and arrogant Michael was when he won their bet.

“My dear sir, they’re the ones who don’t know anything. You, on the other hand, have a good eye. Come closer. Take a closer look at this hint of red! There might be some rare and scarce gem in it!” The middle- aged woman stall owner finally encountered some fool who wanted to buy it! How could she miss this excellent opportunity? “Let me tell you, just buy it! It’s definitely a rock of top-notch quality! Trust me, I’ve been purchasing those gambling rocks for years!”

“Hmph. You’re trying to trick a fool, aren’t you?” Tanya could barely hold it as she tried to expose her intentions. “If you really think that it’s a good rock, why don’t you open it yourself?”

This stall owner obviously wanted to sell this rock off quickly when she knew jackie was a gambling rock dummy. Was this not a scam?

“Yeah, boy, this Miss is right! Don’t buy it if you’re not a gambling rock professional! Everyone has seen this rock before!” Many surrounding onlookers, one by one, tried to persuade jackie to not make foolish decisions.

“This is definitely a treasure! You don’t understand.” jackie, on the other hand, chuckled happily. “This is it! I’ll pick this!”

“Okay, alright, young man. I’ll let someone weigh this rock right away. Don’t worry, I’ll give you a discount!” The woman immediately asked her two apprentices to move the rock over. “19 kilograms sharp!” she announced to jackie. “I’ll count it as 15 kilograms; the remaining kilograms are considered a gift to you. 300 hundred thousand is enough. I’m such a nice person!”

Chapter 348 “It’s 19 kilograms but you only collect the money for 15 kilograms. You truly are a kind person!” After listening to the exchange, Tanya leered, smiling coldly. “This is just an ordinary rock, so of course you’re kind enough to give a discount! If you really think this is a top-grade rock, will you still be this kind?”

“That’s right! You’re scamming a rock newbie! You’re nasty!” Yvonne echoed before turning her head to look at jackie. “Let me help you, jackie. The piece that you picked is nothing but a plain large stone! It’s just an ordinary stone, from the roadside.”

“Stop interfering!” the Young Master Wilson quickly interjected them. “Yvonne, don’t break the rules. This time, it’s me playing against jackie, not me against you! Since you’re not involved in this, you shouldn’t interfere further! If you insist on doing so, let’s call this bet off!”

“He’s right. Outsiders shouldn’t interfere!”

“I agree! The one who bet with Young Master Wilson should do the picking!”

The bystanders spoke up one by one as they commented on the bet.

Yvonne’s pallor was unsightly, but she could not fight back anymore. After all, if she helped, she would be breaking the rules.

“What do you mean by ‘bullying a newbie’? Miss Yvonne, I know you’re a member of the Drake family, but please be reasonable! This is a gambling rock, and its content can’t be predicted before it’s cut open. You can’t see through this rock, but what if this young man picks the right one?” The woman was sullen at her choice of words, but she then turned to jackie with a grin on her face. “Young man, do you still want it? I’ve given you a fair discount!”

“Of course! It’s 90,000 dollars cheaper! Why would I not want it?” jackie accepted the offer in an instant, a smile plastered on his face. He then continued, “Miss Yvonne, a moment ago you said that you’ll pay for me first. Could you please pay it now? Regardless of the rock’s contents, I’ll give it to you. After all, you’re the one who paid for it, so it’s a reward for you!”

Yvonne was so pissed that she almost fainted. This was a trashy plain rock no doubt, and nothing good would be in there after it was cut open. And this punk even said to her that he would give it to her? Nevermind, she would not want it. Although she could feel her blood boiling within her, she unwillingly still paid the money.

The stall owner felt much better once Yvonne paid for the rock. The big trashy rock was finally sold out to a fool! She thanked herself for never throwing the rock away, and she finally reaped the fruit by earning 300 thousand.

“Young Master Wilson, it’s your turn now. Since you’re playing a game, I suggest you choose a big one. Otherwise, you can’t live up to your reputation.” The middle-aged woman grinned as she tried to convince Michael.

Michael was satisfied when he saw that jackie had paid all that for a piece of junk. This idiot spent hundreds of thousands to buy a large rock, an ordinary rock that no one would ever pick, and yet he stayed confident with his choice! Michael could not wait to see jackie bark like a dog later after the game.

Michael’s eyes wandered around the stall, and not long after, he spoke, “There are no more big rocks like this from your stall. Besides, even if I’ve picked a smaller one with just a tiny bit of gem, it’ll be enough for me to win the bet!”

Once the last word of Michael’s dropped, he pointed at a piece of gambling rock and said, “This one is not bad. The part exposed from the surface has good color as well. Hmmm. I think it may be a good one! Alright, I will pick this!”

Yvonne’s heart sank deeper when Michael had chosen a piece that she would choose. Sigh. This time, jackie would lose for sure. Before that, Yvonne had been observing both men all the while, and she had a feeling the gambling rock that Michael had chosen was pretty good. She initially planned to make jackie pick it, but it eventually fell into Michael’s hand.

What made her feel even more miserable was what jackie commented later on. “This rock is pretty good! Most of it is jade, and icy jadeite at that! You’ll rake in a pretty sum after this. Such a lucky guy!” jackie praised Michael after taking a look at the piece in his hand.

Although Michael thought that jackie was a gambling rock rookie, he could not help but feel proud and content at jackie’s praises. “Oh, really? Then you can just admit defeat. If half of my rock contains icy jadeite, I guess it’s worth at least a few million! Now you can go ahead and learn how to bark like a dog!”

Chapter 349 “Hmph! We haven’t even opened this one yet. How can you tell that I’ll lose? I just said that yours wasn’t a bad choice!” jackie chuckled, countenance nonchalant.

“Why you… Why would you put yourself down like that?” Yvonne muttered to herself.

“Cut mine open first!” Michael immediately paid for the rock in his excitement, and more than a hundred thousand disappeared just like that. The two apprentices cut into one side of the rock.

He stepped forward to take a look the second it was cut open. His lips quickly curled into a smile. “Hah! jackie, you little b*stard. You were right on the nail this time. Do you see that? More than half of it is icy jadeite, and its coloring is pretty good too. This can probably go for a few million dollars, no problem there.”

“No way!” Yvonne and Tanya’s expressions darkened when they saw this. Michael had indeed chosen a good rock. It was hard to chance upon such a quality of a gemstone on a normal basis.

“Congratulations, Young Master Wilson! You chose a good one!” The stall owner was stunned silent. After all, she did not dare to open it herself and had just brought it out for sale. This was a huge loss for her.

However, gambling rocks worked this way. Pulses would quicken while gambling. No one could be blamed for her lack of foresight and luck this time around.

“How about it? Are you going to get on your knees and bark like the dog you are, jackie White? Just give up already. A gem like mine isn’t cut open even after two weeks in this street. Never thought I’d get it!” Young Master Wilson was immensely elated. His spirits had been uplifted.

He oh-so badly wanted to record jackie getting down on his knees and bark like a dog. He would record the entire thing and show it to the Taylors during Old Man Taylor’s 70th birthday bash. That would be

extremely gratifying to do.

“I haven’t even opened this yet. How do you know if I’ve lost?” jackie gave a dry smile. “Please help me cut this open, Ma’am,” he said to the boss. “Cut it open on its biggest side.”

“All right!” The boss agreed to this, grinning, but she had a hunch that jackie was guaranteed to lose. She had seen a tinge of red on that rock a long time ago; not a single hint of jadeite was there. From the outside, it certainly looked like it was not worth much. Probably more than half of it was just plain rock. She would not have used it as a stool otherwise.

Yet when the rock was cut open, a haze of white was revealed. Then, they saw a tinge of green in the white.

“It’s lavender jadeite. An icy species—and a high-quality one, too!”

“Oh my goodness… It’s almost the entire rock too. The rock only covers its surface. It’s all jade inside!”

The two apprentices cried out when they saw the hidden stone beneath the layering, their voices trembling in excitement as they spoke. They had worked under their master for several years now, and this was the first time they saw icy jadeite of this quality. How could they not be excited?

“No—No way!” Michael was flabbergasted. Its value was ridiculously high. It could easily be sold off at a starting price of 20 or 30 million dollars!

Chapter 350 “Let me see. Let me see!” Yvonne immediately rushed over and bent down to take a good look. She traced her fingers over the jade. “Oh my God. Its coloring is absolutely gorgeous. It’ll be so easy selling this over 20 million!”

“Is this icy lavender jadeite? It’s the first time I’ve seen something of this caliber!” Tanya was excited as well. jackie had all the stars in the world to thank for this sort of luck; he had chosen such a fantastic

piece.

“It—It really is high-quality icy jadeite!” Michael frowned. He seriously lost this time around—and badly too.

Although he managed to get a pretty good gem, his gem was far inferior compared to jackie’s.

jackie then turned to Michael, a humorless smile on his face. “Young Master Wilson, get on your knees. You can’t turn back on your word as a man now, can you?” he teased.

“You…” Young Master Wilson’s features were contorted in an unreadable expression. He was the young master of an aristocratic family. Was he really going to kneel in front of this stupid bodyguard and bark like a dog? He would shame his entire family if word of this got out. Everyone would gossip about this behind his back when he would return here in the future. He truly regretted his actions. He should have never made this bet with jackie. However, who could have imagined that this hothead—who had no idea about gemstones—would actually choose such a precious item just like that?

“It—It really is icy lavender jadeite of top quality!” The stall owner looked extremely crestfallen. Her expression was not much better to look at than Young Master Wilson’s. She had thought that she would never sell it out, assuming it was a piece of rock. Who knew that it turned out to be such a huge chunk of pure jadeite? She never had a clue; it was merely her stool all this time.

“My God, that young man is rich now!”

“That’s right. He managed to spot such a gem, literally. He’s amazing!”

“Wasn’t he in the military? Don’t tell me that he just took a wild guess?”

“Maybe. Maybe he saw that this rock was big and chose it just like that. Why shouldn’t he choose such a big one?”

The crowd began to murmur among themselves.

“Can’t tell if Young Master Wilson will actually get on his knees and bark like a dog after this loss!” One of them pinned their gaze onto Michael, a hint of a smile at his lips.

Young Master Wilson always walked down this street with a cocky swagger, and he was quick to take back his words when he spoke. However, it was a little different this time. This bodyguard of the Drake family was nothing special, but he had the support of Tanya and Yvonne Drake. It would not do if he did not fulfill his promise.

“Don’t push it, you punk!” Two of Young Master Wilson’s bodyguards immediately glared at jackie when they saw this. “You’re just a bodyguard,” they sneered. “Our young master is the heir of a powerful aristocratic family. Young Master Wilson was just joking around with you, and you took it seriously?”

“That’s right. Don’t take it seriously, you punk. It was just a joke!” They believed that as long as they stepped up at a moment like this and spoke up for their young master, the Drake family’s bodyguard would not dare to do anything stupid. After all, a bodyguard was in a lower social position. How could he ever dare to provoke Young Master Wilson?

If that man acknowledged that it was a joke, at least their young master’s face was saved. More importantly, this meant that they had helped Young Master Wilson and allowed him to exit the stage gracefully. He would surely reward them nicely when they returned.

Michael grinned when he heard this; his bodyguards were quick-witted indeed. If they put it that way, jackie had no choice but to back down if he valued his life.
