Ch. 611..620
Chapter 611
More than twenty love experts were present.
They knew that the unassuming man in front of them was the owner of Transgenerational.He was worth trillions, powerful yet low-profile.
If they made him happy, they would live easy for the rest of their lives.
"Sir, please let us know your issues and we’ll come up with a plan for you."
"Alright."
James nodded and told them everything.He left nothing out.He told them everything including his resignation, marriage, and Thea’s recovery.He mentioned destroying the Xaviers, Thea being kidnapped, him saving her, and her falling in love with the other version of him.
And now, Thea had fallen in love with the Black Dragon and wanted to divorce him.
Thud.
After James’ story, all of them fell to their knees.
"General, please forgive us."
They did not expect the owner of Transgenerational to be the Black Dragon.
What was more, they did not expect his wife to be in love with another version of him.It was so simple.
Why did he need them? All he had to do was reveal his true identity, and all his problems would be solved.
James waved a hand.
"Get up.I hate people kneeling.We’re all equal."
"Yes, sir."
It was only then they got to their feet.
James looked at the so-called love experts and asked, "So what should I do now?"
"Uh..."
All of them looked at each other.
One of them ventured cautiously, "Sir, just tell everyone that you're the Black Dragon, and everything will be solved, no?"
James waved a hand again.
"If I could do that, I wouldn’t need you.There’s too much at stake.I need you to tell me how to save my marriage without revealing my true identity."
All of them looked at each other again.Then, they had a hushed discussion.
They came up with a plan for James.
They lived up to their reputation.
Everything they said was true.
"Sir, I think that you're too nice to Thea.Too polite.This isn't love.This is just repayment.Love doesn’t look like this."
"I agree, sir.Forgive me for what I’m about to say next, but since Thea let you into her bed, she has acknowledged you as her husband, but you were too noble.There are two ways to conquer a woman.The first way is to use wealth.You're rich, but you didn’t reveal your identity.The other way is to conquer her in bed."
"You should be more dominant when the situation calls for it.For example, pin her to the wall and kiss her passionately."
"In a relationship, some people view sex as very important.A woman may think that when she gives herself to a man, it’s for life.Obviously, Thea is this way."
"Sir, you must learn the ways of romance.Cooking and cleaning at home will not win Thea over."
"Also, you must form your own opinions.Don’t agree with everything Thea says.Women like opinionated men.She’s looking for a husband, not a nanny."
"Pay attention to anniversaries.Give her thoughtful gifts."
Everyone had something to say.
They all analyzed his issues clearly.
James took it seriously.He realized they were right.
"Alright, I know what to do know.I'll call if I need anything else." James waved a hand.
Only then did they leave.
After they left his office, they were discussing the whole matter excitedly.
"Wow.So that was the Black Dragon and the chairman of Transgenerational."
"This is the greatest moment of my career.I’m so proud and I can’t wait to share! I helped the Black Dragon with his relationship!"
"Keep your trap shut or you'll be fed to the crocodiles."
Chapter 612
James leaned against the couch, smoking and muttering to himsell, “Am I too nice to Thea? I only wanted to repay her. I listen to everything she says. So this isn‘t love?”
James was lost in thought.
Was he in love with Thea?
Or did he only want to repay her for saving his life?
“What is love?”
The love experts had analyzed it for him thoroughly.
He felt that when he first approached Thea, he only wanted to repay her.
However, after spending so much time with her, he had fallen in love with her. Losing her was losing everything. “Hey, what‘s on your mind?”
A voice rang out.
James looked up.
Quincy walked in.
She was wearing a red professional dress. She crossed her arms and studied James.
“N–nothing.”
“It‘s after work now. Want to grab food together?”
Quincy smiled at James.
James glanced at her before shaking his head. “I don‘t think so. I have other things to do.”
He knew what she was thinking.
He was a married man. It was best he keep his distance from her. He was worried that he would not be able to control himself if he spent too much time with Quincy.
She was too good at seducing him, which she did at every opportunity.
“Go enjoy yourself.”
James stood and left the office.
Quincy watched James leave, a hint of sadness on her face.
Just then, at a villa in Cansington.
“Dad, you promised.”
A girl in her twenties was crying. She was Cynthia The man wore a resigned expression. “Cynthia, I tried. He‘s the Black Dragon. You know what
he‘s like. What can I do when he says no?”
“I don‘t care.”
Cynthia had tears in her eyes. “If he doesn‘t come, I‘ll commit suicide. I‘m your only daughter. You decide what to do.”
“Cynthia, come on, don‘t be this way...”
“I‘ve never asked you for much, dad. I just want him to celebrate my birthday with me. Can‘t you help me?”
Zane was between a rock and a hard place.
He tried.
He invited James.
However, James was not interested at all. He even offered half his assets, but James could not care less. There was nothing else he could do. “I–I‘ll think of something else.” Zane massaged his temples. Cynthia was his only daughter. She was his treasure. He did not want to see her sad. Only then did Cynthia smile. She stood and massaged Zane‘s shoulders. “Deal. If James doesn‘t show up tomorrow, I‘ll never forgive you.” “Yes, yes, I‘ll make sure that he‘s here. Even if I have to kneel to him, I‘ll make sure he comes.”
“I don‘t care what methods you use.” Cynthia giggled. Sometimes, Zane did not know what to do with his daughter.
Chapter 613
James left Transgenerational,
He went to a random food stall, ordering some food and some beer. He enjoyed his meal and beer alone,
He was enjoying a rare moment of peace when his phone chimed with a message.
He read the message,
“Hi, it‘s Zion Lloyd. Together with my wife Louisa Zahn, I‘ve opened a steamboat restaurant in Old Town. It‘s launching on the end of September, and we‘d love for you to attend! The address is Old Town, 54, Sand King Road. The name of the restaurant is Dragonair Steamboat. This is a mass message. Sorry for any inconvenience caused,”
When he read the message, James was stunned.
“Zion‘s opened a restaurant?”
Zion was his classmate and best friend in high school,
He remembered that Zion was poor. When he was a young boy, his dad died in a car crash, leaving his mom to raise him.
“Since it‘s Zion‘s place, I‘ll be there.”
James muttered to himself.
He checked the calendar on his phone.
II was the 1st today. Tomorrow, it would be the 2nd.
He called Zion.
“J James.”
The voice on the other end stuttered.
James smiled, “It‘s the launch of your restaurant tomorrow, right?”
“Y yes.”
“Get me a table.”
“G got it. No problem at all.”
James hung up
He continued eating.
After his meal, he visited Henry at the hospital.
He did not contact Thea.
Since Thea wanted to divorce him, it was best to avoid her now. There would be time after a few days.
James spent the whole afternoon at the military hospital.
The next day. James was waiting for a cab at the side of the road, Zane hurried up to him. “I‘ve finally managed to track you down.” When James saw Zane, he frowned. “Why are you here again?” “James, please. Cynthia insists that you attend. Please, I beg you, just drop by briefly. If you don‘t make it, Cynthia would be devastated.”
“What has that got to do with me?” James ignored him and flagged a cab down. “James!”
Zane shouted. James was long gone.
Zane got into another cab and ordered, “Follow that car.”
James arrived at Old Town.
He located Dragonair Steamboat. Sand King Road was part of the Old Town. It was more affordable living here than in the city.
Zion‘s place was quite expansive. It was three stories, and each was about 500–600 square meters. In total, the place was about two thousand square meters.
As it was still early, the restaurant was quiet. Zion was in a suit, giving orders to the men who were delivering floral arrangements. “Put the flowers there. This bonsai should go there.” James approached. Zion spotted him. “James.” Zion walked up to James immediately, his face alight with joy. “You‘re early!” James had helped Zion out of a few tight spots back at Dragon Fountain Villa, and Zion was very grateful.
James smiled. “I have too much time on my hands, so I thought I‘d drop by earlier and help you out.”
Chapter 614
“Zion! What are you doing? There‘s still so much to do, you lazy #ss!” Someone shouted at Zion.
A woman in a garish dress and heavy makeup walked up to them. When she saw Zion hanging, out with James, she frowned. “Zion, how dare you! Mixing around with shady people now, are you?
“James, I‘d better get going. Please make yourself at home.”
Zion left apologetically.
James frowned.
Louisa looked at James disdainfully. After that, she put on her brightest smile and approached a middle–aged man. She curled her hand around his arm intimately. “You‘re early, Mr. Williams.”
The man smacked Louisa on her rump. “It‘s your grand opening. Of course I‘ll be early!” “Thanks, Mr. Williams. We‘re counting on you now!” “Of course, of course!”
James frowned when he saw this.
He knew who Louisa was. She was his classmate.
Even when they were in school, she was constantly fawning over boys, often getting mixed up with bad company.
He did not know how Zion came to marry her, but based on their interactions earlier on, he knew that Zion had no standing in the house. Louisa called the shots.
“James.”
Zane approached him again. James turned and looked at Zane, looking resigned. “Zane, don‘t you have anything better to do than to follow me around? It‘s your daughter‘s birthday today, isn‘t it? Why are you still here?”
“Without you, what is there to celebrate?” Zane said morosely. “Cynthia has said that if you refuse to attend, she doesn‘t want a party either. James, just drop by for a moment. Wish her and you can go.” “Zane, I don‘t have time for this. This is my friend‘s steamboat restaurant. It‘s the grand opening today.”
“It won‘t take long. Just two hours to and fro. It wouldn‘t delay you at all.”
“No.”
James ignored Zane. Zane panicked.
He promised Cynthia that he will get James, but now James was flat–out refusing.
What was he to do?
Soon, Zion appeared with some stools. “Take a seat, James.” “Thanks.”
James nodded and sat down.
Zion saw Zane. He said, “Sir, why don‘t you take a seat as well?”
Zane sat down, troubled.
James started smoking as he sat in the outdoor lounge.
Soon, the masses arrived.
“Louisa, congratulations! All the best!”
“Louisa, girl! You‘re amazing! You have your own restaurant now! This must have cost you at least two million dollars! Here, take this as a gift!”
Everyone who attended prepared invaluable gifts.
Zion greeted and served them.
However, all of them ignored him. “Louisa, I don‘t understand. With your looks, why did you marry Zion? He‘s poor and not the slightest bit influential.” “Yeah. When we were in school, he was useless. He‘s still the same today.”
Some of the girls mocked Zion.
“Him?”
Louisa glanced at Zion and added fuel to the fire. “I don‘t want to talk about him anymore. It‘s our restaurant‘s grand opening, yet none of his friends or family are here. The only reason I married him is that he‘s an honest man. Oh no...”
Louisa looked at James, who was sitting at the entrance.
“Well, someone came. It‘s James, the son–in–law of the Callahans. You know the Callahans. Now, Thea is the genius doctor of Cansington, protected by the Black Dragon. She‘s planning to divorce her good–for–nothing husband James and get together with the Black Dragon.” Louisa was loud. James heard her.
He frowned.
Bad news traveled fast. Everyone else seemed to know that Thea was planning to divorce him and get together with the Black Dragon.
Chapter 615
Thea had been trending for the past two days.
Plenty of paparazzi followed her around, all of them hoping to get the scoop on her love life. Yesterday, when James brought Thea flowers yet she said she wanted a divorce, the paparazzi had managed to capture it and spread it all over the Internet.
Now, everyone who was constantly on their phones knew.
Only James was unaware.
Zion was unhappy that Louisa had said all those things about his friend, but he dared not get angry. Instead, he said softly, “Louisa, be nice. When I was at Dragon Fountain Villa, he helped me.”
“How dare you bring this up again?”
Louisa pulled Zion‘s ear, saying viciously, “You‘re lucky I wasn‘t there. Otherwise, I‘d be embarrassed to death by you. Look at the company you keep. Get back to work!” “Okay.”
Zion shut his mouth and slipped away.
“James, it looks like your friend has no standing at home.” Zane smiled.
James glared at him.
Zane‘s smile froze and he shut his mouth.
“Oh.” James looked at Zane, asking, “Are people looking down on me because I didn‘t bring a present?”
“I think so.”
Zane nodded. “Look at everyone else. They came bearing expensive gifts. You didn‘t bring anything, and you‘re sitting at the entrance like an imposing statue. No one would be happy about that.”
“Why are you still sitting there? Arrange for some presents to be delivered now. Do you not want me to cure your daughter anymore?”
Zane was stunned.
And then, he sprang into action. “Yes, of course, right away. What present are you thinking of, James? Something more valuable or just normal gifts?” “Normal gifts will do.”
“Got it.”
Zane took his phone out and made a call.
“Get some presents sent to Dragonair Steamboat at Old Town, Sand King Road. Just some normal ones, nothing too lavish.”
After that, he looked at James pleadingly. “James, I‘ve got it covered. When will you go check
on Cynthia?”
James waved a hand. “I‘m familiar with her condition. She‘ll live. I‘ll tell you more when I have time.”
“Okay.” Zane was overwhelmed with emotion. “J– James, what about the birthday party?” James waved his hand again, cutting Zane off. “I dislike crowds. I‘ll see if I have time tonight to drop by and wish her.” “Of course. Sure. Yes,” Zane babbled. As time passed, the crowd grew. Most of them were Louisa and Zion‘s classmates and Louisa‘s friends. Louisa knew more people, and even some of the big business owners were there. Zion‘s contacts were normal, everyday people.
He was poorer.
After he graduated from high school, he started working at a steamboat restaurant. He was there for five years, learning how to make the soup bases and match ingredients. Then, he quit and went to work at a construction site.
All his friends were from the construction site.
However, they were very supportive of Zion. When they found out that Zion had set up a steamboat restaurant, they turned up in droves. It was about ten in the morning. More than thirty grubby construction workers showed up at the entrance.
“Thank you for coming.” “Harry, come in!” When Zion saw the foreman leading his workers, he went up to greet them. “Zion, what are you doing?” Louisa, who was greeting the other guests at the entrance, got angry. “Don‘t just let anyone in. All the tables have been reserved. Everyone who‘s in there is a VIP. Why are you taking this trash in? You‘ll affect the VIPs‘ appetites.” The workers were unhappy hearing that.
Chapter 616
“Watch your mouth, b*tch. I‘m here to show some support. How dare you call me trash? How high–end do you think your shop is? It‘s nothing out of the ordinary.” “Since we‘re not welcome here, we‘ll leave.”
“Zion, it’s not that we don‘t want to be here. Your wife is horrible.”
All the workers were angry.
Zion apologized. “I‘m sorry, everyone. I‘m sorry. I apologize on behalf of Louisa.”
“Zion, you piece of trash. Why are you apologizing? Even though our shop isn‘t too high–end, we still couldn‘t allow any Tom, Dick, or Harry to enter. Get them out of here!” Just then, a man in a suit and tie approached. Louisa put on her best smile.
“Mr. Zackson! Please, come in!”
She warmly greeted him.
Zion‘s expression was ugly. He looked at his friends, wanting to explain. However, all of them ignored him, turning to leave instead. “Ay.”
Zion sighed in resignation.
James saw the whole thing.
He shook his head slightly.
He looked at the time. It was almost time to eat.
“Zion.”
He called out for Zion, halting him in his steps.
Zion turned to look at James, a bitter expression on his face. “Sorry, James. You‘ve seen me at my worst.”
James waved a hand. “It‘s nothing. I reserved a table yesterday. It‘s almost time. I‘m ready to eat.”
“James, I reserved a private room on the second floor just for you.” “What private room?” Louisa looked at James disdainfully as she ushered guests inside. “He’s nothing but trash. Why does he need a private room? Zion, I‘ve reserved the room for another VIP. Let James wait. If he wants to, he can eat in the common spaces when there are fewer guests at about two or three o‘clock.”
“Louisa, this isn‘t nice. James made a reservation yesterday.” “Who cares? This is my place and I call the shots.”
Zion was angry, but he kept his mouth shut.
He looked at James apologetically.
James clapped him on the shoulder. “It‘s okay. Don‘t worry about it. I‘ll wait then.”
Just then, a luxurious car drove up.
It was a Bentley worth billions.
Behind the Bentley was a small truck.
A middle–aged man exited the Bentley.
He was the butler of the Dawns, Luther.
As soon as Luther exited, he spotted James and Zane at the entrance. Zane smiled. “James, the presents are here. Should we give them to Zion now?”
“Of course. When else?” James rolled his eyes.
Luther approached and smiled at both men. Then, he produced a list and read it.
“Wishing Zion and Louisa the heartiest congratulations on the grand opening of their restaurant! Here are gifts of eight million and eight hundred thousand dollars, a pair of lucky jade pieces, a jade lion, and gold cutlery.” After that, men started carrying boxes into the restaurant.
Zion and Louisa stood rooted to the spot as they heard it.
James looked at Zane.
“This is what you call ‘normal‘?”
Zane looked troubled. He asked, “Is it too little? I‘m sorry, James. Let me get...”
“No, no. It‘s enough.”
James stopped him at once. No wonder he was worth trillions. This was his normal.
Chapter 617
Some of the workers unloaded the boxes.
After Luther finished reading the list, he looked at a petrified Zion. Smiling, he asked, “Mr. Lloyd, where should I place the presents?” “Huh?” Zion came to his senses. Quickly, he said, “Br–bring them in.” Luther said, “Bring them in.” Louisa caught on, leading the way. “This way, please.”
Zion followed them.
At the entrance.
Respectfully, Luther said, “Sir, Mr. Caden, is there anything else? Otherwise, I‘ll be returning.”
Zane looked at James.
James waved a hand. “There‘s nothing else. Go on.”
“Sir.”
Luther looked at Zane, hesitating for a moment. “Sir, everything‘s ready for Cynthia. Many VIPs have arrived.”
Zane waved a hand. “Cancel it.”
“Cancel it?” Luther looked helpless and troubled. “Sir, it‘s easy for you to say. What should I tell Cynthia?”
Zane thought about it. He had an idea. “Here‘s what you‘ll do. Get everyone who‘s at the party to come here. We‘ll have the party here.”
Zane looked at James as he said it. “James, what do you think? This will be great support for your friend.”
James smiled slightly.
Zane was rather good at the game. “Do what you want.” Zane said, “Don‘t just stand there. Go on! Also, tell Cynthia that James is here.” “Right away, sir.”
Luther left happily. Soon, the workers that carried the presents inside emerged, followed by Zion and Louisa. “Where did he go?”
Both of them looked for Luther.
Louisa was confused. She muttered, “He didn‘t even tell us who gave us these presents.”
He knew everything that was going on but pretended not to,
He was lucky enough to marry such a beautiful woman like Louisa,
As for the fact that she was still in touch with her former clients, Louisa waved it off as maintaining relationships so that they would lend her their support at the restaurant,
James took a deep breath, “The presents are mine. The cash, the jade pieces, the lion, and the gold cutlery are all yours. Get a divorce and pay her what you owe her. Purchase her shares,” “James, are the presents really from you?” Zion still could not quite believe it. It was millions in cash. The presents did not come cheap either. How could he afford it?
James patted Zion on the shoulder. “We‘re bros. A token from me.”
“James, the presents are too valuable. I can‘t take them. Furthermore, we just met by chance, how could I...”
James waved a hand, interrupting him. He smiled, “What do you mean? Ten years ago, we were inseparable.”
Zion was stunned. “Y–you are?”. James smiled. “That‘s right. I just changed my appearance for certain reasons.” “James, it‘s really you! You‘re the Black Dragon!” James put a finger to his lips. “Hush! My identity is top secret. Do you want everyone to find out?” Zion looked at James, surprised yet happy. He did not expect that the man who helped him at Dragon Fountain Villa was James Caden from ten vears ago, his classmate, his best friend.
Chapter 618
“Of course. Who else would give you such lavish presents?” The man smacked Louisa on her rump.
“Stop, there are so many people. My husband‘s here too.”
Zion clenched his fists when Leonardo was talking, his veins popping, but he relaxed after that.
Louisa, her arm still linked with the man‘s, walked into the shop.
James pulled Zion aside, asking, “Zion, what‘s going on? Why did you marry her?”
“James, don‘t.” Zion looked troubled.
“Tell me.”
James‘expression darkened.
Many people had arrived this morning.
All of them were far too close to Louisa.
“James, don‘t ask.” Zion still looked troubled.
“Zion, if you think of me as a friend, tell me.”
Thinking about how James helped him at Dragon Fountain Villa, Zion hesitated before pulling James aside. Softly, he said, “I–I married Louisa a year ago. She came to me and told me she liked me. She even asked if I would marry her and was willing to forgo wedding presents. “I was almost thirty, and no woman had liked me because I was poor. I thought that Louisa was quite pretty, so I agreed.” James asked, “Don‘t you know what she was doing before?” Zion nodded. “I didn‘t at first, but I found out later on. She was working at a high–class nightclub. She was the star, but now she‘s come clean.”
“Get a divorce.”
James did not have much to say.
He did not want to see his friend in hell.
Louisa was just looking for an honest man to take her in. It was alright if she had really turned over a new leaf. However, based on her actions, she was still fooling around with men.
Zion was obviously being cuckolded. “James, I can‘t. To set up this store, I dumped my savings of two hundred thousand into it. I even borrowed another three hundred thousand from friends and family. I put in five hundred thousand, and the rest is Louisa‘s. Now the business has just started. How could I get a divorce?”
Zion looked sorrowful.
He knew everything that was going on but pretended not to.
He was lucky enough to marry such a beautiful woman like Louisa,
As for the fact that she was still in touch with her former clients, Louisa waved it off as maintaining relationships so that they would lend her their support at the restaurant.
James took a deep breath, “The presents are mine. The cash, the jade pieces, the lion, and the gold cutlery are all yours. Get a divorce and pay her what you owe her. Purchase her shares.”
“James, are the presents really from you?”
Zion still could not quite believe it.
It was millions in cash.
The presents did not come cheap either.
How could he afford it?
James patted Zion on the shoulder. “We‘re bros. A token from me.”
“James, the presents are too valuable. I can‘t take them. Furthermore, we just met by chance, how could ...”
James waved a hand, interrupting him. He smiled. “What do you mean? Ten years ago, we were inseparable.”
Zion was stunned. “Y–you are?”
James smiled. “That‘s right. I just changed my appearance for certain reasons.”
“James, it‘s really you! You‘re the Black Dragon!” James put a finger to his lips. “Hush! My identity is top secret. Do you want everyone to find out?”
Zion looked at James, surprised yet happy. He did not expect that the man who helped him at Dragon Fountain Villa was James Caden from ten years ago, his classmate, his best friend.
Chapter 619
The Black Dragon was Sol‘s God of War. He was the religion of every soldier.
He was a myth and legend to all men in Sol.
Zion was not exempt. He idolized the Black Dragon so much. When he found out that the Black Dragon was his classmate and best friend from 10 years ago, he stood a little taller and walked a little straighter.
However, he did not expect that James who helped him at Dragon Fountain Villa was the Black Dragon James Caden, his classmate.
“J – James...”
Zion looked at James with gratitude.
James clapped him on the back. “I don‘t want to see you waste your life away. A man should stand tall and proud, not live in the shadow of a woman. You‘ll have sufficient funds to settle down with a nice woman.”
“Alright.”
Zion nodded firmly.
He had had enough of this life anyway.
He and Louisa were husband and wife, but in a year, he had only touched her once. On the other hand, Louisa was always out and about.
Every time she returned, she was drunk.
He even found hickeys on her neck. He knew she was cheating on him, but he maintained the relationship anyway.
Now that he had James‘ support, he no longer had to stomach it.
“I‘ll tell her now.”
Zion turned to leave.
He went back into the steamboat restaurant.
The shop was full of boxes. Some of the boxes had been opened. Two of them had stacks and stacks of cash in them. The other boxes contained jade pieces, a jade lion, and gold cutlery.
“Wow! Louisa, who are these from? It‘s so generous!” A sexy, beautiful woman looked envious as she spotted the cash and expensive gifts. She was Jessica Lourdes, Louisa‘s ex–colleague at the nightclub. She had quit too. When everyone else saw the cash and expensive gifts, they looked envious. Some of them even took pictures and videos, uploading them to social media.
“Louisa, oh my God. You know all the right people!” “Wow! There‘s eight million and eight hundred thousand dollars here! I would never be able to earn this much!”
Louisa‘s classmates looked envious.
Louisa smiled widely hearing them fawn over her. She stepped closer to the middle–aged man. The man was Leonardo Logan.
He was an important business owner with many businesses and was relatively wealthy.
“You‘re the best, Leonardo.”
Louisa looked at Leonardo, her whole body melded to his. If there were not so many people around, she would have rewarded him properly.
Leonardo was equally surprised. Who gave these gifts?
They were extremely lavish. Louisa seemed to think that these presents were from him. After pausing for a while, he burst out in laughter. “Don‘t mention it. You‘re my favorite girl.” Leonardo started to bluff.
Since everyone thought that the presents were from him, he might as well claim them. Furthermore, there were many beautiful women there. Some of them had started looking at him differently. That boosted his ego. “Just a few million dollars and some presents. It‘s nothing to me. As long as Louisa is happy, I‘d spend it all on her.”
“You‘re so generous.”
“Hi there, my name‘s Mandy.”
People started to fawn over Leonardo.
Some of them were gorgeous beauties.
Just then, Zion walked in.
James and Zane followed.
Zion saw Louisa behaving so intimately with an old man in front of so many people. His expression darkened. He walked up to them and barked, “Louisa. What are you doing?”
Everyone turned to look at him.
Louisa turned and looked at Zion. She yelled back, “How dare you, Zion! Can‘t you see that I‘m taking care of a very important guest?” Zion looked at Leonardo disdainfully. “These presents aren‘t even from you, yet you‘re claiming they are. What a fraud.”
“What?”
“The presents are not from him?” “What‘s going on?”
Chapter 620
Everyone was confused.
They all looked at Zion.
Before Leonardo could say anything, Louisa‘s expression soured. She let go of Leonardo, slapping Zion across the face
Smack!
The slap was loud and clear.
It left a mark on Zion‘s face.
“Zion, are you crazy? This is Mr. Logan. You should be on your knees apologizing to him!” After that, she turned to look at Leonardo apologetically. “I’m so sorry, Leonardo. It‘s my fault. I failed to keep him in line. He‘ll get it when we get home.”
“Hmph.”
Leonardo hmphed coldly.
Louisa hit Zion. To add salt to injury, she insulted him in public. He was furious.
“Who knew that Zion would have no standing at all?”
“Exactly. Louisa slapped him just like that, and even said that he‘d get it at home.”
“She‘s so beautiful. Why did she marry him?”
“I heard that Louisa was a call girl. After she earned enough, she was just looking for an honest man to take her in.”
“Do you think she let Zion touch her after they got married?”
Everyone started whispering.
Even though the voices were soft, Zion still heard them.
Louisa heard them too, but she did not care.
“Louisa, I want a divorce.”
Zion shouted, his fists clenched. His eyes were red.
“How dare you, Zion! This won‘t work. Men want me. What about you? Besides me, who else would marry you?”
When Louisa heard that he wanted a divorce, she got angry. She prepared to pull Zion‘s ear.
Zion slapped her in return.
“B*tch.”
He slapped her hard.
Louisa was slapped senseless.
She swayed on the spot and fell to the ground.
