Chapter 170: Villas For Each Of You

Chapter 170: Villas for Each of You

Smoke billowed out of the bookstore, flames flickering inside and

drawing a crowd of onlookers from the street. Over a dozen burly men

in black suits burst out of the store, chasing after a black Maybach that

was speeding away.

"Go after them!" commanded their leader.

Just as they were about to catch up, several police cars suddenly

appeared at the end of the alleyway. Although this place wasn't under

any country or class jurisdiction, they still had to be wary of Chulae's

government officials.

"Damn it!"

"Retreat!" Cursing loudly, the group of black-clad bodyguards retreated

back into the bookstore and joined in with those trying to put out the

fire.

On the other side of a wall, an old dim streetlight was mostly obscured

by tree branches. Only faint light filtered through and scattered across a

man's handsome face.

He blended into this darkness as if he were one with it. Two long

fingers with distinct knuckles held onto a cigarette between them; his

fingernail glinted like a tiny eye that flickered on and off intermittently

with red light.

After brushing off some ash from his suit pants, he tasted bitter tobacco

smoke in his mouth which felt unfamiliar since he hadn't smoked for

many days until just now when he found some cigarettes in his pocket.

He stood there for awhile until that luxury car left and the bodyguards

retreated due to fear before chuckling lightly.

He tossed away his burnt-out cigarette butt onto ground before turning

around to leave.

Inside Chris’ car:

Chris returned from using restroom only to find himself confused about

why there was fire suddenly. The door opened and Kelvin bent down

into back seat while speaking; there was still lingering scent of tobacco

smoke emanating from him.

"To Gladperd Estate.”

"Yes."

Chris drove with his eyes darting to the window from time to time,

wondering where Mrs. Foley was all along the way.

The Maybach raced steadily on the highway, the window open, the

summer breeze caressing their faces with refreshing coolness.

Feeling the pleasant relief from the heat of their sprint, the two of them

leaned their heads against the car window, one hand extended to savor

the silky breeze slipping through their fingers.

Reece closed her eyes tightly while sweat washed away his makeup

leaving traces around corners where lipstick had been smudged

beyond recognition. His masculine features revealed themselves

completely, causing Dominic's eyes to widen.

"You... you, you're actually a man!"

Reece gave him a disdainful look, pulled at his torn suspender dress

and snorted, "Your eyesight is pretty “'good'. Just now you realized that

I'm a real man?"

Dominic stuttered, "You can't really blame me for this."

Reece was just too beautiful, even more so than a woman!

Reece was so angry that his chin trembled. He grabbed the hem of his

skirt and quickly lifted it up before letting it fall back down in less than

three seconds.

He raised his head high with pride and pointed at Dominic with his chin

while squinting her bright eyes. "Surprised? The thing under my skirt is

bigger than yours!"

"How do you know mine is smaller?"

"Usually people who are overweight..."

“That's the biggest insult to fat people!"

Cheyenne blushed furiously as she stepped on the brake pedal. The

speeding luxury car suddenly stopped on the side of the road, causing

everyone inside to lurch forward due to inertia.

She almost hit the windshield but thankfully activated an airbag which

protected her head.

"Cheyenne! Can't you drive properly? How did you even get your

license?" Reece angrily covered his forehead while glaring over at his

handsome face through his peripheral vision. Luckily there was only a

slight bruise on his forehead this time around.

He had to go back to filming next month and he couldn't have any

injuries on his face!

After restarting the engine, Cheyenne blinked innocently while

spreading her hands. "Of course I can drive! You were just driving

illegally earlier!"

And also, Reece didn't treat her like a girl at all! He even lifted up his

skirt in front of her...

As an experienced driver herself, Cheyenne had never seen such

provocative behavior from passengers before!

Dominic quickly lowered his head and apologized, "Cheyenne, forgive

me. I won't do it again.”

Although he had dated many women before, he was just playing for

fun.

But in front of Cheyenne, the founder of his gang, there was no way he

would dare act recklessly!

On the other hand, Reece who was thick-skinned enough wasn't

bothered with Cheyenne's remarks.

Soon enough they arrived at a villa.

"Get out.”

Dominic exclaimed and admired the house in front of him. "Cheyenne,

you really have money! This house should be worth at least five

million?"

Reece closed the car door and sneered, "You're just a small-time thug

with no taste. This villa is worth over thirty million!"

Thirty... thirty million! Dominic swallowed hard and his eyes flashed with

greed. Soon he slapped himself and thought, “Dominic, what are you

thinking? Dare to covet Cheyenne's villa? Do you have a death wish?"

he slap echoed loudly in the dark night, Cheyenne curiously looked

over, and saw Dominic's face turn red.

"What are you doing?"

Dominic lowered his head nervously, "I... I've never seen so much

money before, so I'm just trying to clear my mind. Yes, clear my mind."

Reece crossed his arms and glanced down at him condescendingly, “Is

that so? Why did I hear you mutter if this was your home..."

"I dare not dare not,” said Dominic quickly, "Cheyenne, believe me, I'm

nothing in front of you. How would I dare covet your property?"

“You can have greed for it," the woman smiled sweetly and answered

with a cold voice.

The two men opposite were both dumbfounded.

Reece was dissatisfied, "Why? We've been friends for twenty years,

and you won't even let me stay here for even one night, but now you

wanna give it to him because he's your subordinate?"

Cheyenne looked at Reece as if she were looking at an idiot, and her

smile became sinister. "Do you want one too? Okay, on Christmas I'll

gift each of you a paper villa."

Both Reece and Dominic were left speechless.
