Chapter 126
Janet arched her eyebrows at Jonathan’s statement. There was a hint of amusement in her eyes amidst the initial hatred and anger she felt towards the young man.Long?If what the young man said was true, then he should belong to the Long family.Janet nearly laughed at that moment. If it were any other person that were in her shoes, they would have trembled in fear the moment Jonathan mentioned the Long family, but it couldn’t be the same for her.This was due to the fact that the so-called Long family were nothing more than lowly servants in comparison to her background!Jonathan mistook Janet’s arched eyebrows for fear of the Long family, and became bolder in his threats.“That’s right!” Jonathan yelled.“Weren’t you having fun slapping me just now? I’ll call my dad right now to straighten you out!”He then whipped out his phone furiously and made a phone call. Less than two minutes later he ended the phone call. All the while, Darius and Janet remained still where they stood and wa

An ominous feeling came over Sawyer Long the moment Janet put the phone to her ears, but he remained still. As far as he was concerned, Janet was merely bluffing, and would not be able to do anything to him.The number Janet dialed rang only once before the phone call connected.“Hello Miss Fox.” A baritone voice laced with respect and politeness answered from the other end of the phone.“Hello Zane.” Janet replied with a playful tone.When Zane heard Janet’s playful tone, he knew at once that something was wrong. From his experience of dealing with Janet, he discerned that some unlucky fellow had offended her, and she wanted to make him/her pay the price. Nevertheless, he maintained his silence as he usually did and pretended that nothing was wrong.“Is anything the issue Miss Fox?” Zane asked politely.“Do you happen to know if we’re partnering with any company or business from the Long family?” Janet asked playfully; but there was a hint of anger and disgust in her eyes as she spok

Darius and Janet naturally had no idea that Jonathan was planning his revenge at that moment, and chatted lightly as they walked. They could not be bothered about what seemed to be a trivial quarrel, and an equally trivial person. Janet could see that Darius was no longer interested in continuing the conversation with her, so she decisively decided to leave him alone, but not before exchanging phone contacts with him. Darius was a bit reluctant to exchange phone contacts with her at first, but after seeing how she made the so called Long family bend with just a phone call, he decided to accept her contact details. He could see that from the brief phone call she made, she proved how formidable her background was. There was no harm in knowing someone with such a strong background. Darius then accompanied her to the hotel’s exit and waved her off sincerely before making his way back to the hotel. Even though her appearance was a bit unexpected, he couldn’t deny that it was a pleasant e

The rest of the day passed quickly and it was soon evening. Since the auction was being held in Vane city, Darius finished his preparations by 6pm. Vane city was an hour drive away from Sky Golden Hotel, and since he was not going alone but with Janet, he couldn’t be late to the auction.The auction was a high class one, so Darius didn’t dare dress casually for the auction. He picked out the classy three piece suit he wore to the charity gala some months back, the quality shoes, and the limited edition wristwatch Bruce got for him.He looked incredibly dashing, and was way handsome than he was during the charity gala. After being the head of a company for some time, he now had a sophisticated look to him.He exited the presidential suite and walked to the car park, ignoring the intrigued stares he got from the staff and people present in the hotel. He entered his car and inputted the auction’s house location in his car’s GPS system, before driving out of the hotel.After driving for a

The inside of the auction house was bustling with activity, with many people walking about and discussing, eliciting an interested expression on Darius’ face. There were several people at the exchange center, a place where they could put up their items and goods for auction. The staff at the exchange center would then appraise their goods and determine how much it would be auctioned off for. Of course, the exchange center would not forget to take their 10% commission from the amount the items or goods were auctioned off for. The 10% commission was fixed, and would be deducted regardless of the amount the items or goods were auctioned off for. Janet noticed the interested expression on Darius’ face and smiled softly before speaking. “Are you interested in putting up any of your properties, items or goods for auction?” Janet asked nonchalantly, her eyes trained on the exchange center. Darius shook his head at her question, displaying his answer. With his current wealth and status, t

The item put up for auction was a brown leather book, and it looked ordinary, but Darius’ blood kept boiling at the sight of the book. He could feel an innate connection with the book, and he could barely keep himself from rushing over to the stage and grabbing the book. Janet noticed Darius’ keen attention on the book, but couldn’t understand why Darius was so interested in the book. After all, the book looked so ordinary and she couldn’t find anything special in as she looked at it. Just as she was about to question Darius about the book; the emcee’s voice echoed in the auction hall. “Next, we have the ‘Journals of Madra’ up for auction. As we all know, Madra was the fifth and most successful emperor. This leather books contain the journals of Madra, his exploits, and his insights from his reign.” As soon as the emcee completed her statement, majority of the people present eyes widened in shock. The “Journals of Madra’ was a book with great value attached to it. It was lost in t

During the rest of the days after relocating to his courtyard villa, he practiced his morning routines daily without missing any day of practice. He made sure to be disciplined in that aspect. After his morning routine each day, he would then go over the reports and documents that were faxed to him by Zack and Erin. These documents contained the projects and progress West Atlantics Int’l had made in Capital City. West Atlantics Int’l had been growing rapidly in Capital City after he toppled Sterling Corporations, and they were now acknowledged as part of the top 20 companies in Capital City. Capital City was a very competitive area as it had abundant resources, so there was little to no chance for new companies like West Atlantics Int’l to grow as it did, yet contrary to everyone’s expectations; West Atlantics Int’l grew to be part of the top 20 companies in less than three months! Darius founded West Atlantics Int’l less than two months ago, yet he had already led West Atlantics I

The drive to his university and smooth and unhindered, hence it took him only thirty minutes to arrive at his university from his villa.As this was the first day of a new semester and session, the environment was very rowdy. Pretty freshmen female students walked around the university with awe in their gazes. As Kingston University was one of the top universities in the country, its buildings and infrastructures were very impressive. It was no wonder the freshmen who were just seeing them for the first time were smitten.Of course, the sharks in second year and third year students did not let the new female students who were like a bunch of fishes in a river waiting to be fished by the fisherman go freely.“Hello, pretty. This building is the pride of the Engineering department. I can show you around if you want, that way you won’t get lost.” A second year student from the Engineering department said to a pretty female freshman.The female freshman student turned to the male student
