Marcus instantly spotted Nolan from a distance, his lips twitched in anger as he said; “What's that fool doing in here? How did he get pass the security systems in the entrance door?” Marcus felt irritated. He didn't know why this bastard kept showing up whenever he was this close to winning Courtney's heart.The bastard always ends up ruining the mood for him.Marcus tried not to flare up in front of Courtney, as he tried to maintain his composure. He exhaled a long breath as he made up his mind to confront Nolan.With his hands in his pants’ pockets, Marcus and his friends strode over to where Nolan was standing, with Courtney quietly trailing behind them.“Hey loser! How did you get in here?” One of Marcus's friends was quick to speak in an inquiring voice as soon as they drew closer to where Nolan was standing. His face contorted into a slight frown, hinting untamed disgust. Nolan and the female bank clerk turned around towards the origin of the voice instinctively.It was then th

Chairman Warren looked over his shoulder, his gaze lingering over Nolan. Nolan could only smile wryly. Nolan thought that Chairman Warren had every rights to be doubtful towards him, after all, he hadn't truly shown Chairman Warren any notable feat, yet. Simply signing a contract agreement worth hundreds of millions wasn't enough, he still needed to finalize the payment. “What's your business if I choose to let myself be scammed by him? How does it affect you in any way?” Chairman Warren suddenly barked, shocking everyone, Nolan included. ‘Haha! Stubborn as ever!’ Nolan chuckled, recalling how he'd met this relentless middle-aged man. “Are you crazy?! Do you realize what you just said?! This is your company we're talking about here! What would your family think of you?! Your daughter?! Don't you think she'd be utterly disappointed in her father?!” President Bill suddenly shouted. 

“How have you been, Nolan?” Melissa inquired with a delightful smile. She and Nolan had been very close in college, although, not close enough to call it friendship. But Melissa had admired Nolan a lot back in college. He was very smart, excelling with outstanding grades every semester, and he was very hardworking. He took two to three jobs to take care of himself in college after his parents manage to pay for his tuition fee. And to add it all up, he was quite attractive.Nolan smiled sheepishly as he replied, “I’m good. How about the two of you?”Deborah sneered when she heard Nolan's reply, “Hah Hah!! You're good? Is that it? After eight years of graduation, you're just… good?” Deborah blurted out with a mocking smile, “Well, I and Melissa are doing really great since graduation. Melissa is already engaged to a very wealthy heir and they're already preparing for their wedding. Melissa, what're you waiting for? Quick, show Nolan the ring your fiance got you.”Deborah tugged on Meli

Nolan stepped into the living room taking his time to examine the familiar interior of the building. Next, his gazes peered through the entire living room registering the faces of the several important businessmen, official upper echelons, and heads of some wealthy families, invited to the party. Eventually, his gaze lingered on the familiar faces of the members of the Jones family. He sighted the familiar—but yet traumatic—figures of his father-in-law, Matt Jones, and his mother-in-law, Beatrice Jones dress in an expensive white blouse. There was also the familiar faces of his brother-in-law, George, and his wife, Cecilia…Nolan felt his emotions suddenly tensed up, stirring up for a moment there. However, he tried his best to keep himself in check and not to act irrational following mere instincts.Nolan's gaze shifted to the person sporting a two layered dress and standing quietly behind the rest of the Jones family. It was Alison. In front of Alison stood a beautiful woman with b

Silence enveloped the entire living room, only the heavy panting sounds coming from the servant could be heard across the living room. Matt was taken aback momentarily, he suddenly spoke, breaking the silence with panick evident in his tone. “What did you just say?!” But as the head of the Jones family, he feigned a composed demeanor in front of all his guests as he demanded with a hoarse voice, “Did you just say that members of the Golden Dragon Group are here? What do they want?”“Perhaps they came to celebrate your birthday with you?” Beatrice suggested ignorantly. Megan quickly agreed with her mother's suggestion with a series of short nods.However, there was simply no way that the members of the Golden Dragon Group would actually bother themselves with someone as insignificant as Matt Jones, the head of the Jones family. In fact, a backwater family such as the Jones family were of no interest to them.That's was why, everyone else inside the living room were left stunned beyond
