Chapter 99: That Lady?
Curtis Smith’s face twisted. There were still seven or eight hours until evening. Even if there were Supreme Lord’s distinguished guests on the fifth avenue, why did they need to prepare so early?
Curtis Smith glared hatefully at Jennie Clifford at the door of the jewelry store and gritted his teeth as he replied to Anton Myers on the other end of the phone. “It’s just a car, I’ll get it ready! But now, cousin, you have to send someone here.”
“The person who bullied me is Jennie Clifford from Clifford Jewelries. This bitch, even if she doesn’t care about me, does she not care about the Myers family too?”
Anton Myers on the other end of the phone frowned slightly. “The Clifford family?”
Curtis Smith answered viciously. “Yes, it’s someone from the Clifford family. If it was just an ordinary person, would I have called you? The Clifford family has always been at odds with our family!”
“Perhaps it’s because of this that she dares to humiliate me so! Cousin, you’re one of the most valued people in the Myers family, are you going to put up with this?”
Anton Myers at the other end was silent for a moment before agreeing. “Fine, I’ll bring people over. The Clifford family has indeed been too arrogant these years, relying on their relationship with the Mills family!”
Curtis Smith was overjoyed, hung up the phone, and glared at Jennie Clifford at the door of the jewelry store. “Bitch, you wait, my cousin is bringing people here soon!”
“Of course, if you call Jun Chester back now and kneel down together to apologize to me, I might just punish you a little. Otherwise, I will let many people torture you to death!”
Jennie Clifford frowned slightly, looking down at Curtis Smith from above, and spoke slowly. “If you want to die, I’ll grant your wish.”
Just then, Jennie Clifford flashed in front of Curtis Smith and punched him in the chest. In the blink of an eye, Curtis Smith flew across the street and hit an electric pole. He spat blood, and his life or death was unknown!
Cultivators do not tolerate humiliation. For a martial artist like Jennie Clifford, humiliating her is tantamount to seeking death. The consequences of hitting Curtis Smith and sending him flying were not within Jennie Clifford’s consideration.
What’s most important is that Curtis Smith’s words just now had crossed Jennie Clifford’s bottom line. Asking Jun Chester to kneel down? Well, whoever said that should be sent to hell to kneel for eternity!
Curtis Smith hadn’t died violently, but his whole body was as good as useless. This was because he had been struck by Jennie Clifford’s Confluence attack. Unless Jun Chester personally treated him, he would be plagued with illness for half a year! Jennie Clifford’s actions had shocked everyone present. No one had expected that a woman like Jennie Clifford would be so terrifying, even daring to commit murder in the street, completely disregarding human life.
Jennie Clifford herself acted as if nothing had happened and immediately left the scene, heading towards a park near Ocean Hall. She was waiting for nightfall to announce, alongside her master Rod Smith, in front of everyone, that they had submitted to Jun Chester. By the time Anton Myers arrived at the jewelry store, Curtis Smith had already been sent to the hospital for treatment. Anton Myers then went to the hospital.
Seeing Curtis Smith in a coma from his severe injuries, Anton Myers cruelly laughed. “Who did this?” Carrie, who was standing nearby, trembled in fear. “Jennie Clifford, and Jun Chester!”
Anton Myers was just a collateral relative of the Myers family. Although he knew of Jun Chester, he didn’t know about Jun Chester’s relationship with the Supreme Lord. Anton Myers’ face was hideous as he spoke. “Good, after today, both the Clifford family and Jun Chester will have no place to be buried!”
Meanwhile, Barbara Knowles had returned to the Knowles family villa in a daze. Everything that had happened at the jewelry store was still fresh in her mind. It had truly scared her. Now, Barbara Knowles had lost all hope of marrying into the Myers family. Jennie Clifford, as an admirer of Jun Chester, had dared to severely injure Curtis Smith. Didn’t she know that Curtis Smith’s mother was from the Myers family? She must have known, but she still did it.
If Jennie Clifford was so arrogant, what about Jun Chester? What was even more terrifying was that, thinking back to Jun Chester’s performance at the entrance of House Grandsilk, this bastard might have some connection with the Supreme Lord. So, what would marrying into the Myers family mean? With just one word from Jun Chester, wouldn’t the Myers family kick her out? After all, Curtis Smith’s mother was only from a collateral branch of the Myers family. At this thought, Barbara Knowles felt a suffocating pressure, her frustration reaching a peak.
Just then, Norman and Robert approached her with expressions of surprise and delight. Norman looked at Barbara Knowles expectantly, excitedly asking, “Barbara, how was it? Did you choose any jewelry you liked?” Barbara Knowles looked at Norman blankly, not understanding their happiness, and shook her head in a daze. “No. Also… I’m going to listen to my grandfather, and I won’t be going to Ocean Hall tonight.”
Norman became anxious. “How can you not go? You must go! Grandfather has already informed all our relatives. They’re all going to Ocean Hall tonight for the ceremony!” Now Barbara Knowles was even more confused. “What do you mean?”
Norman gently helped Barbara Knowles sit down on the sofa, grinning from ear to ear. He had someone bring over a red, gold-stamped invitation. “What does it mean, my dear granddaughter? Look at this, it’s an invitation from the Myers family to our Knowles family! Signed by the Supreme Lord, James Myers!”
“What does this mean?” Barbara Knowles looked at the invitation in front of her, and upon opening it, saw that it was just as Norman had said. For a moment, Barbara Knowles was so moved she felt like crying. “Could it be that the Supreme Lord himself has chosen to form an alliance with us… Is it the Supreme Lord’s son who has taken a liking to me?”
Norman excitedly slapped his thigh. “What else could it be, other than such an event, that would be worthy of the Supreme Lord’s personal signature? Barbara, my dear granddaughter, you’re about to soar and become a phoenix! In ancient times, you would be a crown princess, the future queen! May our ancestors bless us, who would have thought that our humble Knowles family would produce someone like you! In the future, even your grandfather will have to pay his respects when he sees you. Oh my heavens, what did our Knowles family ancestors do to receive such magnificent blessings?”
Upon hearing this, Barbara Knowles’ mind was in a whirl. It took her a long time to come back to her senses.
“Would Jun Chester… take advantage of his relationship with the Supreme Lord and sabotage this?” Norman waved his hand. “What does Jun Chester amount to? How could he be qualified to sabotage the happy event between the Knowles family and the Supreme Lord’s family?” “Moreover, if he stole the betrothal gift the Supreme Lord sent to our Knowles family, killing him would be too lenient. Just watch, Jun Chester is nothing but a maggot, not even worth comparing to a maggot!”
Barbara Knowles took a deep breath, trying to steady her mind. “Fine, tonight, at Ocean Hall, I want to see Jun Chester kneel and apologize to me personally!” “I… I’ll go get ready now!” Norman said with a chuckle. “There’s no need for an overly grand appearance, just a simple touch-up will do. The Supreme Lord’s daughter-in-law should be elegant, dignified, and that’s all!” “Don’t be like Lyvia, that wild child, all show and no substance. My Barbara has the bearing of a queen, even without makeup, she’ll outshine everyone!” Norman’s flattery brought pleasure to Barbara Knowles, who happily went upstairs to get dressed.
At six in the evening, every member of the Knowles family dressed solemnly and headed to Ocean Hall together. Other families were also ready, especially the Smith family, a relative of the Myers family in Dirtmouth, who were fully prepared at Ocean Hall. The people from the London family had also arrived, as well as those from the Wells family. Riordan Wells had planned to host a grand feast at Ocean Hall that day, holding an initiation ceremony for Bruce Wells.
Upon learning that Ocean Hall was reserved by the Supreme Lord, both parties were happy. They decided to combine the two ceremonies into one, one after the other, giving Jun Chester ample face. At this moment, Jun Chester appeared near Ocean Hall with Lyvia. Tonight, regardless of the ceremony, what mattered most was the marriage proposal. Jun Chester had been preparing for this the whole day, wanting to create an unprecedented romance for Lyvia that night.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Ocean Hall was near the sea. As night fell, the sky was filled with stars. Jun Chester wanted to use this natural backdrop to show Lyvia a… meteor shower! Lyvia seemed to have sensed that something was going to happen and asked Jun Chester, puzzled. “Why are you dressed so grandly just to eat roast duck?” “It’s like you’re getting married!”
