Chapter 51
“You two are unbelievable,” Emma hissed, unable to comprehend their nerve. Her breathing turned shallow, her chest tight with frustration.Everything that came out of Victor and Elena’s mouths felt like toxic fumes polluting the air around them.“I was just joking. Don’t take it so seriously,” Victor said, placing a hand on Jack’s shoulder.Jack glanced at Victor’s hand; bold and uninvited.Victor left it there for a moment, trying to act unaffected.But under Jack’s sharp, silent, and piercing gaze, his confidence began to falter.Eventually, Victor pulled his hand back. Jack, without a word, immediately brushed off the spot where Victor had touched him.'What the hell? Does he think my hand is filth?' Victor’s temple twitched in annoyance.Though Jack still said nothing, the gesture alone made it clear, Victor’s touch had tainted his shoulder.Victor lifted his chin, trying to recover his pride. With arrogant flair, he adjusted his blazer.“Today is a good day for me. I have a meeti

Jack's answer made Emma laugh happily. People who suddenly appear and act arrogantly do look like people who have lost their minds. Jack's smile became wider at Emma's laughter."Jack, just tell me that you're ashamed of my future husband. We're sitting sweetly in a luxury car, not hot, not smelling of dust and sweat, while you go everywhere still on your rusty scooter. Pathetic!"Emma's eyes opened wide. She couldn't believe it. "She knows your name?""Never mind names, the contents of Jack's old wallet, even how worn out his underwear is, I know. Haha!"Jack threw a glare at the woman beside the arrogant car driver. Meanwhile, Emma covered her mouth with her hand at the woman's inappropriate remarks."Elena, you made your ex-husband angry again. What if he sulks and doesn't want to come to our wedding? Who will help the servants wipe the plates and spoons? And who will pick up the leftovers from the table? Haha!"Emma was stunned. She found out that the insolent woman in the car was

Jack closed his eyes. He prepared himself in case Emma vented her disappointment and frustration at being lied to. At least there was Laura who could bear witness that it all started with a misunderstanding."That's right! Jack is now working as a waiter at The Groove Spot. I mean, before becoming a waiter, did Jack like to share anything with others?"Jack opened and blinked. His face looked shocked, but also relieved to hear Emma's words. He held back his smile.But this was not the case with Laura. Her facial expression became more difficult. The wrinkles on her forehead became more numerous.Laura didn't understand why a conglomerate like Mr. Hall should be a waiter in a karaoke place. In a low and hesitant voice she said, "But..."Not wanting things to get complicated, Jack quickly interjected, "Miss Kills, um, I think we should leave now. This is Emma's first time going to the Redwave Group building. She should get there early so she can get acclimated." Jack closed with a crisp

Jack inserted his fingers between Emma's fingers. The scene was exactly like when they were about to enter The Foot Locker."I told you, I'll pay for it. Don't worry."Emma obeyed, stepping after Jack while occasionally letting out a long breath. She was still confused and worried, but Jack's hand was enough to calm her down.Jack made Emma sit on the waiting chair. "Just a moment, I'll be right back." "Please don't waste your money. It's not too late to leave now. If you explain to them nicely, I think they will understand. It might be a little annoying, but, those shoes are still intact without any damage. They can sell them again to other visitors."Emma's long words were answered by Jack with a short, "I understand."Jack went to the cashier's desk by himself. He didn't want to surprise Emma because he was going to make the payment using a black card. A few weeks ago, his personal assistant had sent him the card to facilitate the transaction.When Jack took out the card, the cash

[It can't be helped! The System has detected a woman who underestimates the Host's wealth!]Jack placed a hand in front of his mouth, before folding his lips inward to keep from laughing at the System's voice. He understood that, as his main financial sponsor, Emma's words might sound offensive to System.[Sir, Emma would faint if she saw your account book.]'You're right. I'd better not let Emma see it.'[Sir, you're out of line!]"How about this one?" Emma asked Laura as she pointed to the other shoe next to the mary jane loafers."Good choice, Emma. These are from the Ellevoir brand. Comfortable and cushioned flat shoes, made from premium leather too. The design is simple, but still feminine.""Yes, that's right, Laura.""Also, the stitching on these shoes is neat and strong, so they'll last longer. Unlike those loafers, these come in different sizes and colors. Apart from black, there are also white, beige, navy, and red colors. You can choose which color you like better.""Sounds
Chapter 46
The store assistant’s expression shifted the moment her eyes landed on the woman standing beside Jack. She was still smiling, but it was no longer bright or carefree. She hesitated, dropping her arms as she noticed Jack’s hand intertwined with the woman’s.“Miss Kills?” Jack’s face lit up with a wide smile. His voice was full of excitement as he asked, “You work here?”The woman who was both surprised and delighted by Jack's arrival at The Foot Locker was none other than Laura Kills, the prostitute who used to live in the Paradise Roadway brothel on Bogettin Street.This was Laura's second meeting with Jack after a long time apart. It was still vivid in Laura's memory how sweet and warm Jack Hall was. To her, Jack was like an angel who had shown up with love and compassion, and then vanished without ever seeking praise or reward.“Sir, please… don’t call me that,” Laura said with a soft, almost pleading tone. “I don’t deserve it. You can just call me by my name.” She gave a polite bow
