The Ryu Dynasty Returns

Chapter 15:

Elias laughed, his body shook as he stared at Riven in disbelief, even Odessa looked sideways at him.

“You’re really insane. Do you even know who Young Master Wang is?”

Riven merely gave a light shrug, relaxing into his seat.

“I don’t. Enlighten me.”

“You foolish man, how would you even have the privilege of knowing about Young Master Wang.”

Elias’ jaw twitched in disdain.

“Young Master Wang is from one of the most reputable families in the city with a net worth of over 10 million dollars! A fool like you doesn’t understand how people of Young Master Wang’s status behave.”

Riven’s brow shot up instantly with an inquisitive look on his face.

“So you are saying you are okay with being looked down upon and have decided to act as an ass licker?”

“You..!”

That instantly sent Elias off. His face went red with rage as some of the guests who had heard Riven’s comment chuckled lightly.

Old Lady Chen instantly snapped. “Enough! Odessa, if you don’t stand up this minute, I will make sure to drag you there myself!”

“There will be no need.”

A deep voice echoed across the banquet hall making every head turn.

Jake Wang stood several metres away, one hand tucked into his pocket as he slowly walked towards the Chen family.

He had noticed their bickering and the hesitation on Odessa’s face and felt impatient. No woman can resist his charm.

Behind him followed several heirs from influential families. The entire hall instinctively parted to make way for him.

“The Wang heir is heading towards the Chen family’s table.”

“Oh my. I think they have hit the jackpot today.”

“If the Wang heir gets married to one of the Chen family daughters, doesn’t that mean Aurelius will have his way with those who had mocked him?”

Despite being an elder, Old Lady Chen stood up instantly from her chair with a bright smile on her face as she supported herself with her walking stick.

“Young Master Wang, we were just about to send Odessa over. You didn’t really have to come over here by yourself.”

Jake merely glanced at her without responding and then at the members of the Chen family, his eyes spotted Odessa, lust fully evident in them as he checked her out.

Well defined cheekbones, sharp eyes and well shaped lip and glossy skin. Just like the news had said, she was a sight to behold.

“No wonder she’s called the Kairen City’s number one beauty,” One of Jake’s friends said, his eyes beaming as he licked his lips provocatively.

Odessa couldn’t help but wince in disgust at the sight.

Jake’s gaze then landed on Riven who was staring back at him with a blank look.

“You must be the husband,” Jake commented. His tone was dismissive and provocative.

Riven didn’t respond which made Jake frown lightly. He looked at him from head to toe without bothering to hide the disdain in his eyes.

The cheap clothes, the relaxed posture. His lips curled up into a smirk.

“So this is the famous Wei’s heir?” Jake let out a disappointed chuckle. “I almost mistook you for one of the waiters.”

Another of the young heirs beside him laughed.

“Young Master Wang, with the rumors surrounding him, isn’t this already exceeding expectations?”

Another added with a grin.

“I heard he is mentally unstable.”

Jake smiled at his friends’ statements and glanced at Odessa.

“Miss Chen, a woman like you standing beside a man like this is quite unfortunate don’t you think? He’s the lost heir of the Wei family, rumoured to be mentally unstable. Master Zhao didn’t even acknowledge him tonight. Why are you still with him?”

Before Odessa could respond, Old Lady Chen immediately forced out an awkward laughter.

“Young Master, you are right. This marriage was rather an unfortunate incident.”

Odessa’s face darkened as she glanced at her. “Grandma.”

Old Lady Chen ignored her completely. “If circumstances allowed, my granddaughter should be with someone more accomplished.”

Jake’s smirk deepened as he understood the meaning of Old Lady Chen’s words.

“Perhaps those circumstances can change.”
