Chapter 287-No Need to Call Anyone...
In the classmates’ gathering circle, the atmosphere became extremely awkward. Everyone present looked flushed, with beads of sweat forming on their foreheads. It turned out that James had never lied—it was just that their perspectives had always been too shallow. “Mr. Timothy, someone as insignificant as Mariana does not deserve to be treated this way. I believe she may not have fully realized what she was doing. Please, allow me to handle this properly,” said Jacky respectfully. James did not respond. He simply took a slow sip of his tea, his eyes calm but sharp. Hearing Jacky’s words, cold sweat began to form on Mariana’s forehead. If a man as powerful as Jacky from the gray zone really stepped in, her dignity would be completely destroyed. “Mr. Timothy, today you must save my reputation. My father will not stay silent about this!” said Mariana bitterly, trying to rely on her father’s name. “Go ahead, call your father. I doubt he is worthy enough to stand and speak before Mr.
Chapter 286-She Feels Ashamed
Even the Nelton family’s forces, who held power in the Hawar District, probably would not dare to oppose him. Everyone knew that someone like Jacky was not just an ordinary businessman—he was a man respected even by the leaders of other districts. “Ask Mr. Timothy to apologize?” Jacky said in a low, cold voice. “There is no need for him to apologize to me.” He looked sharply at Mariana, then continued firmly, “Mariana, you should apologize to Mr. Timothy.” Mariana stared at him in shock. “What do you mean?” she asked, confused by the direction of the conversation. Jacky turned to James, bowed his head slightly, and spoke with deep respect. “Mr. Timothy, what do you think? What should we do with people like this who do not even know their place?” He paused, waiting for an answer. “Do you want me to order my men to remove them right now?” James lifted his wine glass and took a slow sip. His gaze was calm yet carried authority. “No need,” he said lightly. “For something this smal
Chapter 285-Mr. Timothy...
“Someone like James still thinks he’s great,” a man whispered quietly in the crowd. “But he’s just trash pretending to be important.”A few others laughed softly, trying to win Jacky’s favor by joining in the mockery.“Sheva,” Mariana said coldly. “Tell James to stand up and make a toast right now. Ask him to apologize to Mr. Jacky before he causes real trouble. If Mr. Jacky gets offended, not even I can protect your useless husband.”Her tone was sharp and arrogant. She kept watching Jacky’s expression, which was growing more tense by the second. She was sure Jacky was getting angry, and that would be the perfect punishment for James.Good, Mariana thought bitterly. Let’s see how he ends up after this.But Sheva hesitated. She looked at James nervously, not daring to make a move.James gazed at her calmly, raised an eyebrow, and said quietly, “If I make a toast, would he dare to drink it?”The room instantly fell silent.“What did you just say?” Mariana stared at James in disbelief.
Chapter 284-They're think James Will Regret
"Ah, Miss Mariana. It is rare for you to visit the Trandana Hotel," Jacky said in his deep, calm voice."Mr. Jacky truly knows how to treat his guests with respect," Mariana replied, lifting her wine glass. "Let’s sit and have a drink.""So this is the famous Jacky?" someone among the guests whispered. "The one called the controller of wind and rain in the Ken District?""Not just that," another replied. "Mr. Jacky is not only a business giant. He is also a powerful figure in the gray world."The presence of the bald man with glasses made the entire room fall silent. Jacky’s name was no stranger to anyone. In the land of the Ken District, he was a living legend, a major figure in both property and underground business. He controlled massive industries like Ken Star City, a source of wealth that seemed endless.But more than that, Jacky was known as the Bald Eagle, one of the most feared figures in the underworld.Everyone knew that the underground emperor of Ken District, Jayden, had

Hotel Trandana, Dandelion…“At the dinner party later, I will introduce a few celebrities from Imperial Capital’s business circle to Sheva,” Mariana said, her tone full of pride. “One of them is even the biggest investor in Ken Star City. When the time comes, everyone will know that James was lying.”Her friends quickly chimed in. “Mariana is incredible. Even big investors show up when she invites them so casually.” “Haha, every time there’s a class reunion, Mariana always brings us to meet important people. She’s truly on another level.”Mariana smiled in satisfaction. She took a sip of red wine, then glanced at Sheva with a mocking look. “Sheva, come with me. Tonight, I’ll open your eyes so you can see who James really is. Honestly, just seeing you standing next to him already disgusts me.”Her words immediately stirred the room. Sheva clenched her fists, holding back her anger, and looked at James beside her. He remained calm as usual. “It’s fine, Honey,” James said softly. “L
Chapter 282-I'll Make You Know...
The response was met with bursts of laughter. “Hahaha! This man is really good at bragging without blinking!” “So calm when he lies, impressive.” “Crazy, his claims are way too big. Buying a building in Kopus Star City? His face is thick enough.” Everyone there laughed at James. Not a single person believed he could do it. If he really bought a building in that area, it would mean he had cash flow in the trillions. Even Mariana could not do that easily, let alone a so called useless son-in-law from Leeds like James. His wife came to the reunion by taxi, but her husband arrived with a Bentley and bodyguards? It all looked so fake and showy. “Sheva, your husband is a huge liar. Do you really believe him?” Mariana asked, looking at her with mockery. “I believe him,” Sheva answered without hesitation. Immediately everyone stared at her with disbelief. “Sheva, you are too naive. James does not even know the price of a single building in Kopus! I have seen many men like
