“Sir, that’s 150, 000!”
“150, 000?!” Sammy Jones’ eyes bulged out. In the next second, remembering something, while accompanying a smile, he didn’t move his hand to the low table, and his fingers had successfully reached her bank card. However, the other hand was one step faster and held down the bank card.
“Miss Jones, you are so kind, I thank you in advance!” Joey Xu will not hesitate to draw the card, Sammy Jones didn’t even think about it, she jumped over to grab it, Joey Xu had already lifted the card up so high that she fell on his chest.
The softness was pressed against his chest through the layers of fabric. His eyes deepened, and there were dark waves surging. Have to admit, this woman … s body is really arrogant!
Raising his lips, he wrapped one arm teasingly around her waist, “Miss Jones is this going to be a straight up throw down?”
Only then did she realize that she and he were in such a close and ambiguous position at the moment, Sammy Jones blushed and almost reflexively broke away from him and backed away. However, calming down, a pair of eyes stared at the card again.
Joey Xu loses his smile and holds the card out to her like a puppy, and as soon as she reaches for it, he backs away.
“Miss Jones regrets?”
She smiled awkwardly, “… Of course not. It’s just that there’s not that much money on this card.”
“Not enough for 150, 000?” Joey Xu frowned, seemingly dissatisfied.
She immediately nodded her head, ”Yes, yes, not enough! How about this, Mr. Xu, you return this card to me first, and I’ll give you a new one! Do you think this is okay?”
Change my ass! Where else does she have a card to change? It was half her life savings, and it wasn’t even 150, 000 dollars! She was thinking that this time the four-way case would be another sum of money, and with all this money together, she could barely make a down payment on a small house.
“A different card? That’s a good offer.” Joey Xu nodded approvingly, and Sammy Jones’ eyes lit up, staring at him blearily. It was as if he saw his house beckoning to him again.
However, in the next instant, his long arm wrapped around in an arc and he handed it directly to the good book behind him.
Sammy Jones’ eyes went wide and he stared him dead in the face.
He had an innocent look on his face, and one that was incredibly generous, “Originally, Yung was already sorry for making Miss Jones spend such a large amount of money, so if it’s not enough this time, I’ll make it up on my own.”
“… “Sammy Jones breath gasped up, only to feel his heart ache. Over there, Goodburn had unceremoniously accepted the card. Joey Xu was still asking, “Password.”
“… forgot!” She gritted her teeth in hatred.
“Oh.” He raised an eyebrow and raised his tone, “So Miss Jones has as bad a memory as I do, in fact I forgot what Miss Jones came to see me about today.”
She felt like she could spit out a mouthful of blood.
“838124!”
“Alright, good book, send off the guests.” Joey Xu squared his shoulders and stood up with a flip-flop.
“What about my license? I’ve given you all my money! That’s all I have!” Sammy Jones yelled, this guy isn’t going to pull a fast one, is he?
“Miss Jones, please leave. The gentleman will take your matter to heart.” Yoshimoto advised.
Sammy Jones was still trying to follow him, but Joey Xu had already gone up the stairs without looking back. It’s not a good idea to keep on pestering him like this, he’s totally planted in his hands anyway.
“Are you serious? He’ll be relieved?” She asked Goodbourne sharply, as if she wanted an exact answer to put her mind at ease.
“Of course, sir never goes back on a promise.”
But that guy didn’t promise himself anything at all! Sammy Jones now had the urge to smack himself.
With a kind of fluke in his heart, he followed Yoshimoto to the outside of the villa, looked at the luxurious villa, remembered something, and cheekily said: ”Mr. Yoshimoto, that bank card is still on you, isn’t it? Why don’t you give it back to me. I’m counting on the money on this card to eat! You see, I can’t take a job now, if I don’t have the card I’ll starve to death ….”
Talking about it, she came back, about to cry.
Goodbourne’s lips twitched and he fished his money clip out of his pocket. Sammy Jones was secretly pleased, “You’re a good man.”
But …
What the yah pulled out of his wallet wasn’t even a bank card, it was …
“Miss Jones, you take the top of this cash for now.”
Sammy Jones giggles.
“There’s no way I’m returning your card without Mr. Xu’s orders.”
Sammy Jones was pissed off enough that he didn’t take the money, stomped on his heels, turned around and walked away.
Joey Xu you big pig! Big asshole! Big liar! No wonder that Zhao Lanlan woman wants to marry someone else! Son of a bitch!
She cursed angrily all the way down the road, and in the middle of the night stopped another cab to head downtown. Another expense! She really would starve, wouldn’t she?
Yoshimoto sends Sammy Jones away just as Joey Xu comes out of the bedroom after taking a shower.
“Sir, do you really want to pay with Miss Jones’ card?”
Joey Xu couldn’t help but think of Sammy Jones’ heartbroken look just now, and only found it funny. Fighting with him, she was still too young!
“Use! Find out how much is on her card and swipe it without a cent.” She had cost him so much, it was only right to give her some punishment. Besides, just thinking about the desperation she’d feel when she realized her card was empty made him feel good.
All night, tossing and turning without sleeping, thinking about his card simply tears, heart clogged.
Early the next morning, Sammy Jones put on makeup to shield himself from the dark circles under his eyes and went to the office as usual.
In fact, there was really nothing left for her to do here. After her license was revoked, she couldn’t take on any cases at all, and she was simply an idler at the firm. But she couldn’t just stay home every day, she’d go crazy.
“How’s it going? Xiao Yu. Is it settled?” As soon as she entered, everyone’s words of concern poured over her. She wilted and was weak, “I don’t know.”
“Didn’t you go to Mr. Xu yesterday? Didn’t you apologize properly?”
“Yes!” Even the continuation of the last half of your life is all riding on it, and you still call it not apologizing properly?” But, who knows what kind of stuff that bastard was thinking, and anyway, the order to revoke my law license hasn’t been rescinded, and I still can’t take a case either!”
If he really had the heart to let himself off the hook for the sake of all that money, by all rights, she would have been getting a call by now. But there was no movement at all! She hadn’t called the higher-ups on her way to the firm, and they had said that they hadn’t gotten a call about it at all.
She was in deep despair.
That money of his own had obviously gone down the drain and really didn’t even make a sound. It was still floating on that one asshole, and the more I thought about it, the more upset I felt.
“Look at you, opening your mouth to be an asshole, imagine how good your apologetic attitude can be.” Her teacher counted again as soon as she heard this talking too much.
Sammy Jones’ heart is full of grievances, from beginning to end, in this matter she did not do wrong, she is just on the side of justice. However, everyone is blaming her.
When she was depressed, a message she received on her cell phone added to her mood at the moment.
The message, it’s from the bank.
It reads as follows: Your tail number 3301 card spent 11, 0000 yuan at 10:20 on the 19th at the POS, with a balance of 210 yuan.
“Ah…” wailed Sammy Jones, nearly smashing the cell phone in his hand on the floor.
He … he actually did use it!
This asshole, a few hundred million dollars, billions of dollars, actually really take advantage of her this!
Her house ah!
“Sammy Jones?” everyone looked at her in unison.
“Don’t even try to stop me, I need to go fight that asshole right now!” Sammy Jones said, grabbing his cell phone and bag and storming out the door.
Everyone is scared. She messed with Joey Xu. She’s not going to bring everyone down with her, is she?
Sammy Jones, all in a fury, rushed directly to Rong’s downstairs. However, she was still too naive in the end! Is Rong’s not a place she can enter?
After being thrown out by the security personnel for the 5th time and falling to the ground in a sorry state, she climbed up to see a Maybach slowly parked in front of Yung’s company building. The door of the car was pulled open, and the figure that would not let her forget even if it turned into ashes came out of the car, Sammy Jones did not care about the pain on her body, so she dashed over.
“Joey Xu!” she called his name almost through gritted teeth.
However, before the person could get close, someone had already put her two thin arms in a hold.
“Let go of me! Joey Xu, stop right there!”
In fact, Joey Xu had already spotted her before she even got out of the car, and now that she was here screaming and yelling, people coming and going in the company were looking towards them.
With a pick of his long fingers, he pushed the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose up slightly by an inch, and his deep eyes glanced at her through the slit, while, languidly, he asked, “Who are you?”
“Let her go and let her talk properly.”
Compared to the wretched and terrible state she was in at the moment, Joey Xu was in a state of leisure and contentment. With a command, the two big men had already loosened her up. She walked in front of him – Joey Xu’s height was almost 186cm, while she was only 168cm. Normally, she was quite tall, however, standing in front of him at the moment, she looked like a dwarf, and she was a cut short in terms of imposing herself.
However, losing the momentum Sammy Jones will never admit it. Taking a deep breath, holding his head high, he looked at him righteously, “Joey Xu, you have two choices now. Either, you give me the lawyer’s license back, those money I’ll take as fed to the dog! Either, you return the money to me!”
“What money?” Joey Xu has really turned his face away. Don’t you like to fight for justice? Fine, let her know the consequences of being righteous!
“You … you swiped more than 100, 000 dollars from my card early this morning, don’t pretend you don’t know.” Sammy Jones was so angry that she was about to explode, however, she was also clear that impulsiveness could not solve the problem. Taking a deep breath, she stiffly suppressed the fire and continued to theorize with him, “I have no problem with you spending my money. But at least you should know the principle of ‘taking the short hand and eating the short mouth’, right? You have to get my lawyer’s license back for me!”
“I’m spending your money? Did I hear you wrong?” Joey Xu leaned over and brought one ear a little closer to her, “What did you just say?”
When he asked this, on one side, everyone roared with laughter, and everyone looked at Sammy Jones as if she was a psychopath. Indeed, I’m afraid no one would believe this when it was said. A man who spends millions and millions of dollars at the drop of a hat would spend a woman’s money?
But, that’s just the way it is!
“You just spent my money, I got messages all today!” Sammy Jones fished his cell phone out of his bag.
“Lawyer Ye, let me remind you that in order to accuse the other party, you must at least show strong evidence. Don’t tell me that you’ve been in the industry for so many years that even bank information can be used as evidence.” Joey Xu opened his mouth in a slightly mocking manner and stood up straight. The sunglasses returned to the bridge of his nose, blocking those deep eyes.
