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

    Tyler Stone shifted his focus back to reality. His gaze followed Jessica pointing finger until it settled on the small wooden dining table at a corner inside the private dining space he'd reserved for his party. Tyler suddenly had an idea. He turned his head towards Jessica and smiled slightly. A sinister smile filled with hidden intentions.“Okay. Fine with me. He can sit down there if he wants.” Tyler said, pursing his lips. “However, you must promise me that Nolan's table can only be served with whatever leftovers we leave behind. You are not to take any meal to his table unless I give you permission to do so. Are you okay with my terms and conditions?”Jessica was speechless, “...”However, it was better than sitting on the cold floor. She stared at Nolan shortly after to gain his approval. Nolan smiled slightly, indicating his approval.He'd seen how much Tyler's words had hurt Jessica deeply, but he was surprised to see how much control she had over her emotions. No matter wha

    Jessica's eyes widened in shock when she heard Tyler's cold threat. Her lips pursed. No words came out. Her entire body trembled slightly from the surge of emotions in the depths of her heart. She closed her mouth gently. Choosing to remain quiet. Her hands were tired behind her back, there was nothing she could do anymore. Jessica gritted her teeth angrily. Beneath the intricate fine table, her hands resting on the hip of her legs, clenched tightly out of surging desire. The desire to punch Tyler Stone right on the face!However, she tried her best to restrain herself from swinging her fist at his face. Her fist grew tighter. Fingers dug into her palm, deep enough that a drop of crimson liquid fell on the floor. Her knuckles turned white instantly. The more she looked at him, the more she felt the unquenchable urge to punch him. Especially that smug look on his face. It frustrated her a lot.Jessica bent her head down slightly. Her beautiful and alluring blue eyes fixed on her f

    Nolan didn't feel the need to retaliate or say something back. He just stood there quietly like a statue, with a calm and indifferent look etched on his face. ‘Who said anything about marrying someone?’ Nolan muttered thoughtfully. He was a bit confused here, and he didn't understand the nonsense that Kevin was sprouting. He could still vividly remember making an agreement with Jessica to become her bodyguard for a short period of time—at least until the problem between the Lee family and the Kingston family is completely resolved. Nolan didn't remember assigning to become anybody's lover. So, why was Kevin misunderstanding his intentions to help protect the young lady of the Lee family?Nolan sighed softly. His gaze lingered on Kevin, a brief smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. A clear indicator of deep amusement. Amazement. And excitement. He was hoping to see how this show that Kevin and putting on was going to end up.The smirk was so brief and swift that no one was able to

    “Happy birthday… T-tyler” Jessica wished him happy birthday with a timid and stuttering tone.“Come here. Sit down next to me, Jessica. Here. This seat is empty. I love sitting close to beautiful women like you.” Tyler said seductively. Grinning from ear to ear. He looked so pathetic, like a horny dog. But he didn't care.“Hahaha! Isn't Tyler so sweet?” Some person said suddenly in a coquettish tone. “He's so caring and loving to Jessica. Oh, I am so jealous. When will I ever find someone who is so caring and goodlooking like Tyler? His type is rare to come by. To add it all up, he's also filthy rich and he has so many connections.” Another woman said, daydreaming about finding someone special who would treat her like a princess.“Did you know that Tyler called one of his uncles to help him secure this private dining space even when everywhere inside the hotel was fully reserved. Isn't he so cool? His family is also powerful.” She added, blushing instantaneously.“Yeah! Bro's got pea

    Nolan, Kevin, and Jessica climbed the flight of stairs and found the private room that Tyler Stone had booked for his birthday party on the second floor of the building.Kevin rapped on the door softly, he immediately twisted the knob and the door swung open. He walked into the private dining room followed closely behind by Jessica, before Nolan stepped into the room as well.The private dining room’s interior decor was high class material. The lighting inside the room was top notch blending with the environment and accentuating the room's peculiar color. Luxurious oil paintings hung on both sides of the walls, and the room's floor was covered with an expensive beautiful rug.There were also the occasional melodious sounds of music notes filling the atmosphere with serenity and calmness.There were two tables inside the private dining room. One was a very large circular wooden table located at the center of the private dining room. It was the main dining table. While the other was a s

    Nolan was standing in front of Jessica, who occupied one of the couches inside the living room. Kevin had left them alone to make a quick phone call. He looked a bit suspicious but Nolan couldn't bother himself with him.Jessica raised her head slightly and stole a couple of glances at Nolan for a few seconds.She opened her mouth to say something but no word came out. She was still very much in shock after what she witnessed. If she previously had any doubts about Nolan being the one who had rescued her from the hands of those members of the Black Serpent Gang, after seeing Nolan's performance today, her doubts were now completely gone.Jessica also felt slightly guilty about what had happened today. She hadn't anticipated the fact that her father would want to test Nolan's capabilities in order to allow him to become her bodyguard. She knew very well that it was for her sake that Nolan had to go through all that stress today. Jessica wanted to say something pleasant to comfort him
