The Ryu Dynasty Returns

Chapter 17:

Elias folded his arms with a sneer.

“Some people don’t really know what’s good for them.”

Jake suddenly chuckled. “Interesting. No woman has ever rejected me before.”

At that moment, he turned towards Riven who was watching the events unfold like a bored movie.

“You seem to be enjoying the show. But tell me do you feel accomplished dimming the light of a bright woman by free loading off her?” Jake questioned with a raised brow.

“Men like you should be ashamed of themselves. No job, no life, no future, nothing. Just useless. Your family’s name is being dragged in the mud by you!”

Riven’s face instantly darkened.

The air around him instantly plummeted to a few degrees. His hands gripped the table cloth as he tried to school his expression into calmness.

He had wanted to leave Jake to continue his shenanigans but since he had the nerve to bring his family into this, Jake must pay!

Getting no response, Jake frowned. His patience had wore thin.

“I will give you $100,000 if you divorce your wife.”

“What?!” Odessa half-yelled, springing up from her seat.

The Chen family’s eyes lit up with greed. A hundred thousand dollars? But it will be given to that fool.

“He-he, I’m sure he won’t be able to refuse you, Young Master Wang,” Alyssa sneered. “That’s probably more than he has seen in his entire life.”

“Young Master Wang is indeed generous,” Old Lady Chen commented with a grin.

“Punk, you better accept Young Master Wang’s offer immediately or else you won’t get such a better offer anywhere,” Aurelius added with disgust boldy written on his face.

Why does this punk have to get a hundred thousand dollars?

Worthless!

Riven’s eyes narrowed slightly as they spoke in insultive tones. This family were a pack of ridiculous wolves!

Jake has been looking down on them since he came, but they were too blind with greed to even notice. He couldn’t help but release a chuckle.

“I’m not a commodity to be sold!” Odessa sounded, annoyed that her family would even try to urge Riven to accept such offer.

“No one is selling you here, Miss Chen,” Jake said in a charming voice. “I’m merely trying to open your eyes to see that this man you are protecting and married to, is of no good or use to you.”

Odessa frowned slightly. “You are in no place to tell me what’s good for me.”

“Odessa Chen!” Old Lady Chen warned, slamming her cane on the floor. “Apologize immediately. You’re lucky Young Master Wang is even willing to overlook your situation.”

“Grandma, you can’t possibly be saying this to me…”

“Odessa, don’t be stupid,” Elias said, rolling his eyes. “You have a better chance at life with Young Master Wang and so does this family. Don’t be selfish!”

All eyes then settled on Riven.

He calmly took a glass of champagne from the table and sipped from it.

Only then did he look at Jake.

Leaning against his chair, a faint smile tugged at the corner of his lips.

“Do you always enjoy taking things from other people?”

Jake laughed without hesitation.

“Only when they are worth taking especially valuable things from people like you that have no worth,” he responded, his eyes glancing at Odessa.

No one noticed the strange glint passing through Riven’s eyes.

“Interesting. You seem very confident, strange. For someone who transferred nearly eight million dollars through shell companies three nights ago shouldn’t be smiling this much.”
