Chapter 308: 307: Tell Your Boss to Meet Me_1

Ever since they parted ways after college, Sheridan Isolde couldn’t stop thinking about Anna Harris. It wasn’t because their relationship had been particularly good, but rather because of regret.

Sheridan Isolde came from a well-off family, and he was the playboy of his class in college. After graduation, he took over the family business, invested and built everywhere, and he had been with countless women.

But Anna Harris was the only one who had never slept with him.

Over the years, Sheridan Isolde had been searching for traces of Anna Harris, and he didn’t expect to encounter her here today.

“Is that so?”

Ashwin Lake took a drag of his cigarette and flicked the ash lightly, “Sheridan, your ex-girlfriend’s family is not bad, huh! To come to Twilight Mansion, she must have a net worth of at least a hundred million.”

“Impossible!”

Sheridan Isolde furrowed his brows, “Her family doesn’t have much money. Even after graduating and starting work, it’s impossible for her to have that much.”

He knew Anna Harris quite well when they were together.

Her parents were civil servants; they had some savings, but it was utterly impossible to speak of a hundred million.

“Holy shit! Brother Samuel, it’s popular nowadays to keep a mistress. Maybe your ex-girlfriend…”

A young man started to speak but suddenly realized something was amiss and quickly shut his mouth.

“What are you talking about!”

Ashwin Lake slapped the young man on the head, “But it’s probably true! Not many young people can come here. I’d say eight out of ten are brought in by someone. Sheridan, with Brother Beaumont here today, I will make the decision for you!”

He thumped his chest and stubbed out the cigarette in the ashtray.

This was a non-smoking restaurant, but Ashwin Lake specifically smoked a cigarette to show how he stood out from the crowd.

For the matter of acquiring land, he had taken over three million in facilitation fees from Sheridan Isolde, and many of those present were affluent heirs. Ashwin Lake wanted to use this opportunity to demonstrate his capabilities.

Since Aron Jackson got rich, many businesses in Gonzalez City had come under their control.

In Gonzalez City, both Ovidiu Cook and Aron Jackson had substantial influence.

And recently, the increased interaction between Ovidiu Cook and Aron Jackson made these people become more inflated with pride.

No matter who the wealthy magnate was, as long as it was on his turf, they all had to listen to him.

“If that’s really the case, I’ll be counting on Brother Beaumont!”

Sheridan Isolde picked up a glass of wine and downed it in one go.

Not seeing Anna Harris would have been fine, but seeing her now made him feel an itch like ants were crawling over him.

He also recalled what everyone had said earlier, and a nameless anger started to rise in his heart.

“Come here!”

Ashwin Lake pressed a button on the table, and a waiter immediately came over respectfully.

“The woman who just came in, who did she come with?”

Ashwin Lake leaned back in his chair and asked.

The others at the table, especially Sheridan Isolde, all perked up their ears to listen.

“Sorry, that’s the privacy of our guests.”

The waiter looked troubled.

Those who could come here were all high-profile individuals, completely out of their league.

Losing a job was a minor issue, but losing a life would be a real loss.

“Cough, cough! Buddy, I know it’s not easy for you, but don’t worry, no one but me will know about this. And your Boss Cook is also a friend of mine.”

While speaking, Ashwin Lake pulled out ten thousand yuan from his wallet and slipped it into the waiter’s pocket.

“It’s not much, I know you guys make tens of thousands a month.”

“It was a young man.”

After speaking, the waiter turned and left quickly, afraid that staying longer would lead to more questions.

“Brother Samuel, we can’t let this slide! Let’s say she’s your ex-girlfriend, others shouldn’t even come into the picture!”

A young man followed up with encouragement.

“Exactly! This lady is a bit too saucy, eh? She hooked up with someone so quickly, and a rich one at that!”

“Shall we go over and take a look?”

After listening to what everyone said and fueled by the alcohol, Sheridan Isolde was also itching to act.

But this still wasn’t his territory; he raised his head to look at Ashwin Lake, “Brother Beaumont, you tell me what to do!”

Ashwin Lake being a local, his opinion was critically important.

And from the conversation among everyone, it seemed Ashwin Lake and Ovidiu Cook were somewhat acquainted, which would make handling this much easier.

But everyone had forgotten the words Ashwin Lake had just said, that not long ago, many people had disappeared from here because of a woman.

Even Ashwin Lake himself had forgotten completely.

“We’re all brothers here! I’ll make the decision on this matter for you! Never mind some pretty boy, even if it were the King of Heaven himself here today, he’d have to give me some face!”

Ashwin Lake slapped his chest and staggered to his feet, heading toward the private room.

Behind him, a group of people immediately followed.

Whoosh!

Reaching the door of the private room Anna Harris had just entered, Ashwin Lake kicked it open.

At that moment, Julius Reed and Quella Radcliffe, along with Anna Harris, were all smiles and laughter.

Not wanting to be disturbed, Julius Reed had only left two nurses inside the room, to facilitate Anna’s movement.

In case she hurt her wound, they could check it immediately.

But now, as the door was kicked open, Julius Reed’s mood instantly plummeted.

Why can’t I get some peace wherever I go?

“Yo! Brother, you’re enjoying quite the charm!”

Ashwin Lake swaggered over with a bottle of alcohol in hand and said drunkenly as he came to the table, “Meeting today must be fate, let’s have a drink.”

With that, he poured the drink straight into Julius Reed’s cup.

The rest of the crowd also surged into the private room.

“Out.”

Julius Reed spat out just one word, without so much as glancing at these people.

“How are you speaking to Brother Beaumont?”

“You blind pup! This is Ashwin Lake, open your eyes wide and look carefully!”

“Speak more politely!”

The staff members crowded around, clearly intending to intimidate.

“Hey! What’s all this! A bunch of hooligans, or bandits!”

Ashwin Lake feigned an attempt to calm the shouting crowds, then turned around with a smiling face, “The staff are rash, brother, please be forgiving! Here, I’ll apologize by drinking this to myself.”

Saying so, he raised his glass drunkenly, looking at Quella Radcliffe and Anna Harris, “Two beauties, I wonder if…”

“Out!”

Splash!

Julius Reed splashed the contents of the wine glass directly into Ashwin Lake’s face, dousing him with the liquid.

The air instantly stilled.

Ashwin Lake paused, then slammed the wine bottle on the table with a sneer, “Brother, what do you mean by this?”

“Daring to splash our boss? Apologize!”

“Damn it, fed up with living, aren’t you!”

“Looking for death!”

The staff members immediately surrounded Julius Reed, ready to start a fight at any provocation.

“I told you to get out, didn’t you hear me?”

Julius Reed turned his head to look at Ashwin Lake, his eyes filled with limitless chill.

Felt by that gaze, Ashwin Lake shivered, his drunkenness fading significantly.

But remembering the numerous staff members standing behind him, he quickly regained his courage, “I offer you a drink and you don’t appreciate it. Kid, think of a solution!”

Ashwin Lake glanced at his wet clothes and said, “Three million, not too much, right? Not to mention, these two beauties have got to drink with me…”

Whoosh!

Before he could finish his sentence, Julius Reed picked up a wine bottle from the table and smashed it hard on Ashwin Lake’s head.

Thump!

Ashwin Lake fell to the ground, seeing stars.

“Kid, our Brother Beaumont is Dominating Tiger! You’re tired of living, aren’t you!”

Several staff members immediately helped Ashwin Lake up.

“Call your boss to see me. If he can’t get here in ten minutes, I’ll cripple both of your legs!”

Julius Reed said coldly.
