A few people immediately ran over to Kai, pulled him off the sofa, and started beating him up.Kai was utterly unaware of what was happening. He opened his mouth and threw up again.Then, they searched his body and took all his valuables. A couple of others stepped on Tiffany’s hair and ripped off her necklace and rings. They even took a few slaps at Tiffany.She did not have the courage to fight back even after she toppled to the ground from the impact of the slaps.After they were done beating her, someone approached Raymond with the items collected from Tiffany and Kai. “Sir, there’s a key to a Mercedes Benz. The car is worth more than one hundred thousand dollars. Combined with these items, they should come up to about four hundred thousand, right?”Raymond took the car key, necklace, and other valuables from his subordinate and checked them out. He weighed the items in his hand and said, “I didn’t know that he’s a rich kid. However, these items will only cover four hundred th

The waitress was already done with the payment when Adrian got downstairs.She made her way to Adrian respectfully and passed the card to him with both hands. “Mr. Adrian, your card has been swiped.”Adrian took the card and left Black Mamba with the alumni.Meanwhile, Raymond tottered down the step, his entire body drenched in a cold sweat.“What’s that man’s background?” Raymond asked the waitress with a panicked expression.She bit her lip and said, “His card was issued by Wyvern Peak.”“What?! Wyvern Peak?!”Raymond’s jaw dropped and he had a hard time closing it. He realized that he had tried to one-up the war legate.He almost broke down right there and then. It was fortunate that he realized that something was off before it was too late. Otherwise, he would have been dead by now.Raymond was silently shaking.***Samantha and the others felt relieved after leaving the hotel.Tiffany was especially relieved as she walked amongst the crowd with her head hung in embarra

After hanging up the call with Joanna, Samantha was thrilled.Adrian turned his head and asked with a smile, “Sweetheart, your relationship with your best friend is quite unique. Do you enjoy slapping each other’s bums on usual days?”Samantha glared at Adrian.“Jojo’s my best friend and she has helped me a lot in life. Dress properly and come with me to pick her up tomorrow at Southrive. And remember, don’t embarrass me,” Samantha ordered.“Yes, I promise to fulfill my duty!”Samantha smiled and did not say anymore.Soon, they arrived at New Paraiso and Samantha immediately dived into work.Adrian was bored and had nothing to do. He decided to park himself in Samantha’s office and play games on his phone. He waited until Samantha was off the clock before they left and went home together.Joanna was coming back tomorrow, and Samantha was so excited that she could not sleep. She bugged Adrian and made him tell her stories about the war.The next morning, Samantha woke Adrian at

Hence, Adrian’s name was beyond familiar to her.Adrian replied, “Yes. However, I don’t have a favorable first impression of you. It seems that you’ve often bullied my wife while I was away.”Pffft!Joanna burst out in laughter and said, “You’re d*mn right about that. Sam and I even shared a bathtub during your time away. Moreover, I’m the one who took her first kiss!”Samantha glared at Joanna. “Don’t listen to her nonsense, Adrian. She was just overwhelmed with joy earlier.”Adrian understood that and he did not mind.Joanna said, “You’re quite capable, aren’t you? You abandoned my Sam for seven years but yet you managed to captivate her as soon as you got back. Tell me. How should we deal with this situation?”Adrian shrugged to express his cluelessness.Joanna said to Samantha, “Sam, this man made you live like a widow for seven years, and you’ve already forgiven him? Moreover, you’re calling him ‘dear’ over and over in such an intimate manner.”“I can’t help it. He’s too

Rue stepped outside upon hearing the commotion in the courtyard. She was instantly delighted to see Joanna and called out, “You’re back, Jojo!”Rue appeared to be well-acquainted with Joanna.When Samantha and Joanna were establishing Bailar, she would often visit Samantha’s house. She had even stayed over a few times.Rue knew that Joanna had experienced a lot of hardships too. She was deprived of a mother’s love since she was a child so Rue always treated Joanna like she was her own.Joanna said smilingly, “It’s been a long time since we last met, Mdm. Rue. I’m sorry I didn’t get you a gift. I was in such a hurry to get back. I promise I’ll get you one next time.”Rue beamed as she looked at Joanna. “You’ve been abroad for a few years. I almost couldn’t recognize you. You’ve become prettier and look even more like Sam’s sister now.”“You’re mistaken, ma’am. Sam and I have been sisters from the start!” Joanna said proudly.“Come inside, come inside. I’ll go get some ingredients
