YM778.TV Chapter 129 - 128 Supreme Card 1
“Elize Yarrow, let’s see what you’ve been scanning!”
Seeing her best friend’s face turn pale, Simeon Kensington hurried over to look.
“There’s… nothing…”
Elize Yarrow locked her phone screen and stammered, “He was just feeling embarrassed and speaking nonsense! You saw it too; he showed the QR code, and I scanned it right away. How could it not add? I’ll delete him later.” As she spoke, her face was already turning red.
“Elize, every time you lie, your face turns red. Give it here and let me have a look! ”
While Elize Yarrow was distracted, Simeon Kensington snatched her phone and unlocked it with her own fingerprint.
The two were not just friends but best friends, so they could unlock each other’s phones.
“Hahahaha!”
When she saw the content on the screen, Simeon Kensington laughed with a squeal like a pig being butchered!
“Paying a high price for a son… Elize, you really are something!”
On Elize Yarrow’s phone, there was an advertisement for “Paying a High Price for a Son”!
“You pervert! Wait until I see you again, and you’ll see how this lady deals with you!”
Elize Yarrow, with a flushed face, snatched her phone back, and said somewhat angrily, “Okay! Stop laughing! I admit defeat, I’ll treat you to dinner at Water Pearl tonight!”
Watching her best friend laugh so hard she was bending over, she cursed Julius Reed countless times in her heart.
“Deal! You said it, Water Pearl! Don’t stand me up!”
Simeon Kensington covered her mouth with her hand as she dragged her suitcase towards the airport exit.
“Hmph! I better not run into you again!”
Elize Yarrow stood there sulking when suddenly a familiar voice came from behind, “Miss, what are you doing standing here?”
Behind her, an elder spoke with a smile.
“Uncle Davenport, Simeon and I just got back. How did you find out? I didn’t tell the family!”
The trip home was a spontaneous decision she and Simeon Kensington made after playing around in Gonzalez City. They then flew back to Five-river Province.
By all accounts, her family shouldn’t have known, but here was the butler, Uncle Davenport, which meant the Yarrow Family had received the news early on.
“Miss, your every move is watched by the master. Having run away from home for over a month, you must have had your fill of fun! When we get back, we need to arrange your marriage,” Uncle Davenport said earnestly.
“Don’t bring that up with me!”
Her face darkened instantly at the mention of marriage.
A few months ago, to her dismay, her family suddenly built a relationship with the Leopold Family from Five-river Province and planned to marry her to one of the Four Young Masters, Atlas Leopold.
But Elize Yarrow could not care less about any Four Young Masters, which led to several months of disputes at home until she dragged her best friend abroad for a getaway.
After playing around abroad for a month, the two planned to return home quietly.
However, their whereabouts were still known to their family.
“Fine! I don’t have a say in this matter either, so let’s head home, Miss. The master and the madame miss you very much!”
After he finished speaking, Uncle Davenport took over her luggage and slowly walked away.
While Elize Yarrow had someone to pick her up at the airport, Julius Reed was in the same situation.
The helmsman of the Abbott Family, Miguel Abbott, had been waiting at the airport entrance early in the morning for Julius Reed.
“Mr. Reed, you’ve come to Five-river Province, why didn’t you give your brother a heads-up? Although I can’t claim great wealth or nobility, I can at least offer some local hospitality!” Miguel Abbott strode up with a smile on his face.
“Looking at this, those who don’t know might think you’re here to seek revenge
on me!”
Julius Reed pointed at the row of men in black, smiling, “Not bad, each one is no simple character!”
The black-suited bodyguards each had impressive combat abilities.
At least some of them could hold their own against ordinary Shadow Warriors.
And Miguel Abbott was quite humble.
In Five-river Province, he was one of the top bosses.
Saying he wasn’t rich or noble also made Julius Reed grow more fond of him.
“About this morning, it was my brother and daughter’s fault! Rest assured, Ives has been confined by me! She cannot leave the house for a month! As for that Wellington Radcliffe, I’ve already made them break up!”
Miguel Abbott said guiltily, “Today, I still ask Brother Reed to honor me with his presence, to give me an opportunity to atone for my mistake!”
“No need to be so formal! I’ll be staying for a while this time, so I may indeed trouble you, but let’s skip dinner, I’d rather have a look around!”
Julius Reed declined with a smile.
The fact that the other party was bringing up the issue proactively indicated that he really didn’t take it to heart.
Moreover, his attitude didn’t seem feigned.
“Since Brother Reed isn’t interested, I can’t insist! This is the supreme card of Moonlight Group, all expenses at any of our companies are on the house! It’s a token of my employees’ goodwill, and if you don’t accept it, you’re really slapping my face!”
After being refused, Miguel Abbott didn’t press on, but took out a card glittering with gold from his pocket.
Moonlight Group, founded by Miguel Abbott, encompasses restaurants, hotels, and even major jewelry chains!
It’s no exaggeration to say that with this card in Five-river Province, all pleasures are cost-free!
“Fine! Then thank you very much!”
At this level of gift-giving, Julius Reed felt it would be rather rude to refuse any further.
Moreover, seeing Miguel Abbott’s demeanor, it appeared he really was attempting to court his favor.
“Since that’s settled, I won’t disturb Brother Reed any further! This car is for you to use, my bodyguards will take you wherever you wish to go!”
After giving his instructions, Miguel Abbott didn’t say more and turned to leave, getting into a Bentley and slowly driving away.
This sense of knowing when to advance and when to retreat actually impressed Julius Reed.
“Let’s go to Pearl on the Water!”
With the driver and car ready to go, Julius Reed was content to be carefree.
Pearl on the Water is also a renowned large hotel belonging to Moonlight Group, famous throughout Five-river Province.
Since he had the card and others were paying, he didn’t hold back. Just as Julius Reed got into the car, Elize Yarrow happened to come out.
“Oh my, why does that figure look so familiar! It couldn’t be that jerk from earlier, could it?”
Watching the Maybach drive away slowly, she muttered to herself. “Miss, what are you talking about?”
Uncle Davenport, looking in the direction she was, asked, “That’s Miguel Abbott’s car, what’s he doing here?”
“Never mind! Let’s go home!”
Deciding not to concern themselves with the affairs of others, Uncle Davenport and Elize Yarrow stepped into an Audi A8 and headed towards the Yarrow Family home.
Night had descended in the blink of an eye.
After preparing everything, Julius Reed planned to go downstairs for dinner.
Since he had come to Five-river Province, he had to find a way to stir up some trouble to get those Shadow Warriors some information.
That way, things in Gonzalez City would be safer.
But he had yet to figure out how to stir up that trouble.
On reaching the first floor, he found the place was already packed.
However, due to instructions from Miguel Abbott, the waiters had reserved a table for him early on.
A four-seater table in a great location by the window.
Overwhelmed by the dazzling array on the menu, he nonchalantly ordered a few dishes and sent a WeChat message to Quella Radcliffe.
An afternoon had passed, he didn’t want his wife to worry.
But just then, Simeon Kensington and Elize Yarrow also arrived there together.
Looking all around, however, they discovered there were no seats available!
“This is so disappointing! It’s your fault for knowing it would be crowded and not reserving a place in advance, I think you did it on purpose!” Simeon Kensington was somewhat displeased.
“Hey! Isn’t that the jerk from the plane? Let’s go share a table with him!” In the crowd, Elize Yarrow spotted Julius Reed sitting alone at a table..
