Jake had just hung up on Janet and another call entered, Jaje picked up the call and the image of his friend showed up.

“Jake you divorced Sonya! I didn't think you'd ever do that!”

His friend looked at the bed behind Jake and shot a shocking glare at Jake, “How did you get such a lavish apartment in r is that a wallpaper behind you?”

Jake nodded and replied, his face stoic with no expression. “No, it's my apartment.”

“There is a classmate gathering tomorrow, you must come,” he said.

“Classmate gathering!” Jake asked in surprise, even when he was together with Sonya he wouldn't attend the classmate gathering, he would listen to his classmates mocking him and calling him all sorts of bad names.

“Yes, it's the same date every year, you should attend this time around. It's at 6:00 pm at the Silver Planet Hotel. Many classmates are insulting you and saying Sonya divorced you because you cheated on her, they labelled you ungrateful they want you to clear the rumour. I have told them that you'd appear,”

Jake smiled as he loosened the fist by his side. “I know, I will see if I have time to attend.”

Jake did not wait for his friend to speak before hanging the call.

His expression changed, he knew he would meet those nerving people sooner or later. He knew that the moment they saw him they would start swearing at him but he knew it was just a classmate gathering and more so he gave to remove the stain from his name. It would clear the rumour if he went there, or add to it, he smirked.

But Jake wondered if Sonya knew he would be there would she appear?

Jake relaxed on his bed and a small smile crept on his face at the thought of luxury, the rich experience.

Jake was driving his new Viodom Mercedes to the Silver Planet Hotel,

“Sonya, do you see that extravagant car? Was that not the car your boyfriend wanted to get in instalments, the person driving it must be very rich.” Sonya's sister exclaimed, pointing ahead of the road to the glistening car.

“You’re right, who could be driving such a car, let’s catch up with him and check for ourselves.”

Jake noticed that the car behind him earlier was suddenly chasing after him.

Jake saw the car chasing after him and his interest in winning suddenly increased.

Two expensive cars raced down the highway and stopped at the Silver Planet Hotel,

When the three of them came down they rushed towards the car and admired it.

“It’s Voidom Mercedes, I couldn't be wrong!” Ella, Sonya's sister exclaimed. Looking at the luxury car parked close to their own with glistening eyes.

She put her lips, she had been interested in the car for a long time and when Sonya's boyfriend thought of buying it she was excited she would get to drive it, her eyes flashed to Manson her boyfriend who couldn’t afford a small car so he was her least option at that moment her interest sprung.

“The owner must be as handsome as the car. I will see if I can seduce him.” Ella told her sister proudly.

The moment the car door opened and a familiar figure appeared in their eyes, their faces suddenly shrunk sour with shock.

Sonya was stunned when she saw Jake. She rubbed her eyes to check if it was a ghost.

Jake saw the few people in front of him and smiled bitterly.

Although he knew long ago that he would meet Sonya since he came to Silver Planet hotel he did not expect it to be so fast, especially with the rumours in her favour.

"Hey, what a coincidence!" Jake smiled brightly at them and called out.

Sonya’s sister and her boyfriend Manson were smacked and looked at the smile on Jake's face, her face twisted.

Jake looked at Ella with a ferocious expression and smiled bitterly in his heart. He didn't know how he got into such a pampered lady. Sonya’s sister always treated Jake like a pushover and regarded him as not pleasing to her eyes.

Since she was Sonya’s sister, Jake had to be tolerant with her and he even tried to improve her impression towards him by flattering her. But now, he would never do such stupid things again.

“Jake your car is not bad indeed,” Anthony said shocked by Voidom's roaring appearance.

“Yeah, I know,” Jake said casually.

“You must have rented it.” Sonya’s sister said with disdain.

Jake tilted his head, in the eyes of this woman he was nothing but a mouse and they had to go far to doubt his ownership of the car.

Jake sighed and replied to them. “Sorry, I bought this car.” He turned to Manson, Anthony and completed his word. “At full price.”

“Hahaha, you want to blind us? Where did you get so much money? Did you steal it, or you robbed others.” Ella sneered.

Jake smiled lightly and said, "You're thinking too highly of me. With my ordinary body and weak hands, how can I steal or rob? My girlfriend just gave the money to me." Jake was used to being provoked by this lady many years ago, so he was not surprised when he heard her accuse him.

Jake looked at Ella and thought to himself, “Is she a lady from a noble family? She's more like a jealous woman who often quarrels with others! How dare she look down on me with a narrow mind like that? I was indeed very good-tempered back then, being able to endure this damned woman for so long."

"You have a new girlfriend?" Ella was a little surprised. She thought no one would look at Jake twice if he left his sister but that was not the case, the stupid guy moved in quickly. “You’re so shameless, after feeding off our family you didn't wait to get over the breakup with Sonya before moving on,”

Jake nodded and said sweetly, "Of course! My sweetheart is very generous! She gives me whatever I want!” Jake said without considering Sonya's emotions and Sonya felt bittered by this rolling her eyes.

Manson looked at Jake with surprise and then turned to look at Sonya expecting some kind of reaction out of her.

Sonya's sharp eyes looked directly at Jake. Jake couldn't help frowning. Her eyes were full of reproach and pain. Jake only felt that the sight of Sonya was frightening.

"Sonya your car is not bad. The Jaguar Series was produced by Corolla Company. Their star shuttles are publicly recognized by their high price-performance ratio. You are driving a Simple Jaguar! The enigmatic jaguar is better than this one, but it’s more expensive as well. Miss Sonya your shuttle it seems you have driven it for a few years. It looks a bit old; you may change a new one.” Jake said accessing the car that he presumed belonged to the boyfriend she cheated on him with.

The price of a simple jaguar was 180 million while a enigmatic jaguar was around 300 million.

"I didn't expect you to know that much about luxury shuttles now," Sonya looked at Jake coldly.

Jake said sympathetically, "My new girlfriend tells me this! She was too rich, so she thought that I should help her spend some money, so I studied luxury shuttles from her. Sorry, I have some business to deal with, so please forgive me that I can’t always be by your side like before.”

Sonya looked at Jake back with a storm brewing in her eyes.

"Sister, he's gone. Let's go too," Ella tugged at Sonya's dress and Manson's sleeve.

“Jake is a big catch now, I was shocked when he paid for the car in full I didn't take him seriously, he must be dating a sugar mummy that would spend in him.” Sonya was still stunned after a while she came back to her right senses and nodded. “He bought the Voidom 365 million in full, she must be from Silver Planet.”

The two sisters exchanged a startled gaze, unfazed by Jake's appearance. “There is no way he paid for the car, he rented it.” Ella walked into the silver Plent Hotel disgruntled.

Does he think he’s Charlie wade? That's a fantasy.”As the mockery and laughter died down Wong Lee cleared his throat and stepped forward his expression with a mix of sympathy and concern.He glanced at Jake then addressed the very few people that were in the office.When he realized Wong Lee didn't refute Edwards' claim he stood in shock, his mind reeling from the announcement.“You heard Edward, the key to the car is here,” Wong Lee presented it to Louis.He let out an incredulous laugh. “This is some kind of sick joke.”“Well, no one is laughing.”Louis could not bring h

    The broad-shoulder guy, Louis towered over Jake, his face a mask of anger. “I asked you a question, cat got your tongue?” he growled, creating tension between them.When they squinted their eyes they noticed that people had gathered around them by now instead they turned the table and started speaking ill of Jake with enthusiasm. “Can't you see chauffeurs these days overstep their boundaries with their victim mentality and blame us for their hard life?”“Are you guys done embarrassing yourselves? You’re trying to get a position as extras in the production and Wong brought in for an audition.” Jake pinned them on the spot with his gaze.The boy's eyes lit up as Jake slipped into the geek talk. His composed look only serves to infuriate them, especially Louis as he tugs the fancy cross necklace around his neck. “Extras? Are you kidding me?

    The following day Jake woke up in his apartment ready to handle whatever they brought his way. As he walked into the lobby of the movie company he noticed a young woman near the entrance passage of the lounge kicked immediately into a radiant smile. “Good morning sir, welcome to the Silver Planet one and only movie industry, how can I help you?” she smiled bashfully at Jake's overwhelmed trance. “We've decided to name it Blakes Production. How does that sound?”Jake was struck by her demeanour, and within a short period of two days, Wong Lee was not only impressive but was ready to take the bull by the horns.Jake soon exited the passageway to hit the massive door that was the heart of the movie company despite not being in the centre, the craven was designed to act as a starting post for acting activities. With some living quarters for actors in case of nights.“In here.” Wong Lee said. “Edward and I put in the room for workers just ahead of shooting at night. They will sleep over.

    The director feigned understanding towards Jake, raising his eyebrow, “Young master, you're very brilliant, you already know what I was going to do, nothing will hold me back again.”Jake betrayed no surprise at his response, the leverage was too huge to be thrown out. The gathered people hooted with derision. Jake cold stares bored into the director.He thought, the first time doubt crept into the director's mind, Despite holding the phone to his ear Jake was unfazed, he’d met his match, had he not? No, he couldn’t believe that this man was just like the others but a small voice of reason said to end before things got out of hand. As Jake shrugged off the unwanted touch the director searched for something to gain the upper hand. Looking into Jake's eyes he found only quite resolve, his lip twitching but he held back his cynical comment about a threat that unnerved him far more than any raised word could.“You can’t scare me with your icy gaze, except you get on your knees and beg.”
