Chris Shelby nodded, “Don’t worry, I have arranged for James Mester to bury your grandfather properly for you.”
“My dear, I am tired, I want to rest!”
Esther got up and left.
Her own Chris killed her own grandfather…
This familial tragedy left her physically and mentally exhausted for a moment.
She needed a good rest to digest such a big event.
Seeing Esther leave, Chris Shelby didn’t stop her.
Chris Shelby knew that Esther needed some time alone to relax.
Chris Shelby walked to the window, lit a cigarette, his gaze flickering, muttering to himself, “I don’t want to kill you, but you keep pushing me, maybe death is the best release for you…”
…
The next day, when Esther woke up,
She seemed back to normal, looking just fine.
“Juliette, let’s go out for a meal, my treat!”
Juliette looked puzzled, “Esther, aren’t you going to work today?”
Esther shook her head, “Not going, working every day is exhausting, today I want to relax!”
“Great! Let’s go quickly!”
Upon hearing this, Juliette exclaimed excitedly.
Chris Shelby knew that Esther needed to release her suppressed emotions in this way.
Chris Shelby didn’t say anything, he just drove Esther and Juliette to a special East Coast restaurant.
Once inside, Chris Shelby and the others ordered a few specialty dishes.
“Juliette, this dish is delicious, hurry and eat!”
When the dishes arrived, Esther dug in enthusiastically.
Even a fool like Juliette could tell that something was off with Esther today.
Juliette glanced at Chris Shelby and asked softly, “Chris, what’s wrong with Esther today?”
Chris Shelby shook his head and remained silent.
Seeing Chris Shelby not speaking, Juliette could only eat in frustration.
Suddenly,
A group of colorful hoodlums entered the restaurant.
Upon entering, they went straight to Juliette.
“Hey beautiful, want to have dinner with us?”
Faced with this sudden harassment, Juliette frowned.
Juliette replied, “Get lost, or don’t blame me for being rude!”
Being a practitioner, Juliette couldn’t possibly fear a few hoodlums.
Plus, Chris Shelby was by her side.
For Chris Shelby, dealing with a few hoodlums was like a walk in the park!
Upon hearing Juliette’s words, the leader of the hoodlums darkened his expression.
“Girl, you’re asking for trouble, if you don’t dine with us, don’t blame us for taking action!”
Chris Shelby, on the side, looked helpless. He never expected to encounter hoodlums while eating out.
Chris Shelby was too lazy to deal with a few hoodlums. He coldly said, “Leave now, and I might spare you.”
Upon hearing this, the hoodlum leader sneered, “Kid, who do you think you are? How dare you speak big in front of me, I’ll show you today!”
“Get him, teach him a lesson!”
With a command, the hoodlums charged towards Chris Shelby.
Seeing this, Chris Shelby narrowed his eyes slightly.
Initially, Chris Shelby thought it was a random event.
But now, it seemed premeditated.
These hoodlums clearly targeted him.
It’s just that Chris couldn’t figure out who would be foolish enough to send a few hoodlums to mess with him, underestimating himself so recklessly.
Whoosh!
Chris Shelby turned into a blur, disappearing from where he stood in an instant.
Juliette and Esther didn’t even stand up.
Because they knew, as long as Chris Shelby was there, those hoodlums were no threat at all.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
…
Several loud noises, and the hoodlums were immediately knocked down.
They writhed on the ground, unable to move.
“You…”
The hoodlum leader was shocked to see Chris Shelby’s strength.
Before he could say anything, Chris Shelby grabbed him by the neck with one hand.
Chris Shelby asked coldly, “Tell me, who sent you?”
“I…”
The hoodlum leader hesitated for a moment.
Seeing this, Chris Shelby applied more pressure with his fingers, causing the hoodlum leader’s face to turn red.
Chris Shelby threatened, “If you don’t tell me, I will kill you.”
Feeling Chris Shelby’s powerful aura, the hoodlum leader was frightened.
He had no doubt that if he didn’t speak, Chris Shelby would really kill him.
The hoodlum leader hurriedly confessed, “It was Wesley Eastman who gave me ten thousand dollars to mess with you! Sir, I’ve told you everything, please spare me!”
At that moment, the hoodlum leader regretted it. If he had known Chris Shelby’s strength, he wouldn’t have taken Wesley Eastman’s money to cause trouble for Chris.
Wesley Eastman?
Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Chris Shelby’s eyes.
Chris Shelby never expected Wesley Eastman to be so reckless.
He had let Wesley Eastman slide several times, but now Wesley Eastman was still sending people to bother him.
It seemed like he needed to show Wesley Eastman his power.
Chris Shelby muttered coldly, “Wesley Eastman, if you want trouble, I’ll give it to you!”
With that, Chris Shelby threw the hoodlum leader to the ground like trash.
Looking at the hoodlum leader, Chris Shelby ordered, “Go!”
Upon hearing this, the hoodlums left in a hurry, like they had been given a reprieve.
Chris Shelby looked at Esther and Juliette, “You two enjoy your meal, I’ll go deal with this Wesley Eastman!”
Juliette nodded, “Chris, make it quick!”
As for Esther, she didn’t even look up, just focused on her meal.
Both Juliette and Esther didn’t worry about Chris Shelby dealing with Wesley Eastman.
Who was Chris Shelby?
He was the esteemed Amerosia Primus!
Anyone who crossed Chris Shelby had a bad ending.
For a mere Wesley Eastman to provoke Chris Shelby, it was truly audacious!
Chris Shelby didn’t waste time, he went to find Wesley Eastman.
Because he knew Wesley Eastman was nearby.
Meanwhile, Wesley Eastman was leisurely drinking coffee at a nearby cafe.
The insult he faced from Chris Shelby last time left Wesley Eastman resentful.
So, he gathered some hoodlums to teach Chris Shelby a lesson, to show him the consequences of going against him.
To Wesley Eastman, Chris Shelby was nothing but a useless son-in-law.
As long as a few hoodlums intervened, Chris Shelby would surely suffer.
