“Mr. … Mr. Pearce, it’s all a misunderstanding. We thought…”
Smack!
The sound of a slap echoed.
Denis was beaten to a pulp.
Jasper was furious and cursed loudly, “I wondered why Mr. Clark was so angry, turns out it’s because of you, you piece of crap!”
“You looked down on Mr. Clark before right? Well now I’m demoting you to the common people!”
“Now go to the bank and resign immediately!”
“Don’t worry! I’ll make sure to inform all the major banks not to hire you!”
After he finished speaking, his gaze fell on Jennifer, “Oh! You had a part in this too just now!”
“Hmm, not bad! Really good job!”
“Since you guys have such lowly eyesight towards others, I’ll fulfill your wishes. From now on no industry will ever hire either of you again!”
“Even if the King himself came begging for mercy, there’s no way any of you will find work again in this lifetime! That’s what I said!”
After Jasper finished speaking, he got into his Mercedes G-Wagon and drove away.
Plop!
“No! Don’t!” Denis’s eyes went black, and he knelt down where the Mercedes had disappeared, his voice choked with tears as he cried out, “Mr. Pearce, I was wrong. Can’t I just apologize to Mr. Clark by kowtowing to him?”
“Please give me a chance. I’ll wait for him here while kneeling.”
“I’ll apologize to him and beg him…”
Despair filled Denis’s eyes.
He had used connections to get into Aisino Bank and worked his way up from an ordinary employee to become a manager earning a million dollars annually.
He bought a large flat and pursued Jennifer, feeling fulfilled in life.
But now, Jasper’s words had left him with nothing; even an ordinary job became an extravagance.
Jennifer was even more devastated; it wasn’t that she couldn’t find work but that she had offended Niarak’s top family-the Pearce family.
If she couldn’t find work, she could still marry into wealth using her beauty without worry for the rest of her life. But if she offended the Pearce family, which wealthy person would dare take her?
Jennifer was at her wit’s end.
If only she hadn’t offended Flynn earlier-the outcome would have been completely different. But there were no ifs…
“Oh my god! Brother-in-law, you really live in Thodell Mansion!” As Flynn opened the door to the villa on Plenilune Mountain, Scarlet stood at the entrance, staring in shock at the palace-like Thodell Mansion.
Located in Niarak’s top-tier wealthy district, only billionaires and top-level dignitaries could afford to live here. And Thodell Mansion on the mountaintop was worth 300 million dollars. Legend had it that war god Cruz bought it and now Flynn was its owner!
“Brother-in-law, what’s your relationship with Cruz?” Scarlet blinked her big eyes and asked.
“I cured his back injury.” Flynn opened the door to the villa and kicked off his shoes before walking straight inside. He put his milk tea on the table and said lightly, “I’ll take a shower first and ask you some questions later.”
As soon as Flynn turned around, he heard Scarlet scream.
“Oh my god! Brother-in-law, are you crazy?!”
Scarlet stood in front of the kitchen with her eyes wide open, exclaiming repeatedly, “Isn’t this Tea King? It costs 35 thousand dollars per kilogram! You actually used it to make tea eggs!”
“I’ll be damned! Twenty-year-old liquor – half of which was thrown into a trash can?”
“Oh my god! The blue-and-white porcelain! I saw a similar vase sold for 300, 000 on TV news last time. You’re using it as a garbage bin?”
Flynn was unfazed by Scarlet’s surprise. “What’s so strange about it? There are drinks in the fridge, just take whatever you want and don’t make a big deal out of it.” With that, he headed upstairs.
After taking a refreshing shower and changing into shorts and slippers, Flynn went back downstairs. In the closet, he found women’s clothing.
“Why are there women’s clothes here?” Scarlet asked.
“Brother-in-law, did you hide a mistress away in some secret room?” Scarlet joked.
Flynn scanned the closet: red dresses, chiffon blouses, fur coats… even swimsuits and various styles of lingerie. One particular style caught his eye – it looked exactly like one Rose had at home with just a few strings holding it together.
“I didn’t even realize there was a closet here,” Flynn said absentmindedly.
Thodell Mansion had five floors with thousands of square feet of indoor space including eighteen guest rooms and twelve bathrooms. But to Flynn, it was just a place to stay for now – he made his way straight to the master bedroom without any interest in exploring further.
Scarlet looked disappointed as she gazed at the semi-transparent lingerie hanging before her.
“I always thought Cruz the War God was a gentleman, but it turns out he’s a big pervert!”
Flynn frowned. “Even the War God is just a mortal, why can’t he have his preferences?”
Scarlet raised an eyebrow and picked up a black lace bra, holding it in front of her with a mischievous smile. “I wonder if my brother-in-law likes it when girls dress like this?”
“He doesn’t,” Flynn said with another raised eyebrow.
Scarlet giggled. “Brother-in-law, you talk tough but your body is honest.”
She pointed her tender hand at Flynn and covered her mouth shyly as her eyes smiled.
Flynn looked down and said calmly, “You’ve misunderstood. I don’t have any thoughts about you.”
“This is just how it normally reacts.”
