Chapter 63

As they entered the lobby of Sky Nimbus, Yvette and Jeremiah immediately attracted everyone’s attention. They were quite the striking pair. Everywhere they went, they became the focus of attention.

Not to mention, Andrew and Bonnie were pretty good–looking, too. They were noticeable in any crowd but tended to get overlooked around Jeremiah and Yvette.

Those who had witnessed the gambling yesterday were deeply impressed by Yvette–the first woman who had made the son of Seacrity’s deputy mayor cough up blood from anger.

The crowd whispered among themselves.

A person said, “See that lady in black over there? She won 100 million dollars from Ethan in one go yesterday.”

Someone asked, “Really? I don’t believe it!”

The person responded, “Don’t you believe it? You’re so outdated! I saw it with my own eyes. Ethan was so angry that he actually coughed up blood.

Every word the crowd said reached Jeremiah’s ears. He leaned slightly toward Yvette and whispered, “Was the win thrilling?

A tingling sensation slowly spread on the back of Yvette’s neck, making her slightly uncomfortable. She subtly moved aside.

Unperturbed, Jeremiah casually stepped closer to her.

Yvette pulled up the black hood attached to her jacket and stayed quiet. Jeremiah wasn’t upset and laughed lightly.

The next second, Yvette took a candy from her pocket and put it in her mouth. In less than a minute, her rapidly beating heart calmed down. Her old condition seemed to act up again.

That day, another manager, Jimmy Lowe, was on duty at Sky Nimbus. He had heard about yesterday’s events from the staff.

Jimmy was very busy that day. The headquarters had informed him that the general manager would arrive at Sky Nimbus/ by 8 p.m. He had been preparing for the reception all day.

The general manager was the chairman’s close confidant. Usually, the regional managers would be sent for inspections. For the first time, the general manager would come in person. The entire Sky Nimbus was buzzing with excitement.

Jimmy had his own motives. He had been in that position for a long time, and whether he could transfer to Betrico’s headquarters or not depended on that opportunity.

Amid the busy moments, the staff reported to Jimmy that Yvette was there again, dining in the VIP room. However, he didn’t take it seriously.

Their place wasn’t short of rich and powerful people. It wasn’t worth his while to personally greet someone who had wor 100 million dollars. He casually told the staff to attend to the guests and then proceeded to check on the dishes in the kitchen.

Jeremiah, Yvette, Andrew, and Bonnie took their seals in the VIP room. Only Bonnie felt uneasy while the other three were used to it.

To hide her unease, Honnie casually flipped through the menu. She hadn’t looked closely when Ryan had treated them to the meal and was shocked to find that a plate of pasta cost 300 dollars. Is it food or gold they serve here? she thought. jeremiah ordered 12 dishes, all of which were Yvette’s favorites. The waitress was surprised, wondering if they could eat all that Andrew and Bonnie knew about Yvette’s appetite and said nothing. No matter how much food there was, nothing would 11:03 Wed, Oct 9 BL.

Avette You Andrew acted all mysterious. Yvette, I heard from Bonnie that a big guy came to give you money yesterday. Are y involved with some mafia? How is it? Is the maba world exciting? Do you think I have what it takes to join them?” He appeared completely serious with no hint of joking.

Yvette took her eyes off her phone, picked up a glass of water, took a sip, and gave Andrew a long, steady look. “T’ll ask around for you later. Joining the maha means cutting off a hand or something. Be prepared “In that case, I’d rather not join. My hands are important. I’ll pass Andrew chuckled awkwardly.

Yvette nodded. Her neck looked unusually tanned and alluring under the light. “Sure–think about it and let me know.”

Andrew felt a chill as if his hand had already been chopped off and pulled his suit jacket closer around him. “No, no–I don’t need to think about it anymore.”

Yvette put the glass down, and Jeremiah casually refilled the empty glass with water. Yvette took another sip. Jeremiah said, “Don’t scare Andrew. He had this idea when he was eight. Then Bonnie, her curiosity piqued, bravely asked, “What happened next, Top Dog?”

After hearing Bonnie call him that nickname again, Jeremiah paused, then glanced at Andrew. “Then, his dad tied him to a tree and gave him a lecture until he quieted down.”

Andrew seethed. He racked his brain for dirt on Jeremiah and finally gave up.

Jeremiah was Betrico’s top elite and Clusia’s youngest major general at the age of 27. He could live a comfortable life just with his company shares. Besides, he had various skills and talents.

He had been a nightmare for Betrico’s young scions since childhood. Everyone wanted to compete with him, but nobody could outdo him. Worst of all, they had to live in his shadow.

Three luxury cars parked outside Sky Nimbus, and about a dozen bodyguards got out of the two at the back.

The door of the remaining car opened, and a pair of black leather shoes came into view. The man, in his forties, was dressed in a black suit, his face reflecting the passage of time.

It was Hector Kirk, the general manager of Sky Nimbus and the most trusted person of the chairman, Harry. He was there that day because of yesterday’s gambling incident.

Hector hadn’t seen Yvette for years, and she had grown into a young lady. He wondered how she was doing and was relieved to know that she could easily afford 100 million dollars. He sighed, thinking, “What Mr. Ross did back then was ruthless!”

Upon seeing Hector arrive, Jimmy straightened his uniform and hurriedly stepped forward, welcoming the former in an ingratiating manner. “Good evening, Mr. Kirk. I’m the manager here, Jimmy Lowe Hector interrupted Jimmy. He didn’t go there to waste time with unrelated people. Once he found Yvette, he would fly back to Mysonna to handle some matters. “Mr. Lowe, let’s get to the point. Do you have the membership information of the lady who bet 100 million dollars with Ethan here yesterday?”

Jimmy looked completely bewildered. It turned out Hector wasn’t there for inspection but for Yvette, who didn’t seem to have anything to do with Hertor. “Mr. Kirk, this lady isn’t our member. So... we don’t have her information,” he said, sneaking glances at Hector’s face. After seeing Hector’s grim expression, he broke out in a cold sweat.

A waiter behind Jimmy recognized Yvette and knew that she had dinner in a private room that day. He quickly stepped forward and said, “Mr. Kirk, the lady you mentioned is dining in the VII room.”

Jimmy suddenly remembered that the waiter had mentioned that earlier, but he had been busy preparing for Hector’s reception at that time and forgot about it As Hector thought that his effort would be in vain again, things took an unexpected turn. Coincidentally, Yvette dined at Sky Nimbus that day. Over the years, Hector and his boss had been disappointed countless times.

“Let’s go. Take me to the private room now. Hector glanced at the waiter, then turned to Jimmy. “Promote him to team leader.”

Sky Nimbus‘ system was strict. It took at least five years to be promoted from an ordinary waiter to a team leader. Besides, passing three assessments without any mistakes was required.

The waiter was almost in tears with joy. With a salary three times higher, he finally felt hopeful about his life, thinking of his bedridden father at home.

Jimmy nodded and led Hector to the private room. Sky Nimbus private rooms were exceptionally soundproof, and they couldn’t hear anything inside.
