In the end, Kelly had no other option but to return to Gold’s residence, with his gloomy face.
The head of the Gold family frowned when Kelly appeared in his sight. He then asked, “What’s the matter? You look upset!”
“I went to Jack’s villa to persuade those bodyguards to leave Jack and come work with us. But everything is in vain!”
Kelly explained, smiling bitterly.
“Are you sure? How much do they earn per month now?”
Ezra—the head of the Gold family—was slightly startled. The thought of an unsuccessful persuasion had never crossed his mind. Was it because Jack paid them incredibly high?
“Only two thousand per month!”
A wry smile on Kelly’s face as favonovel.com responded.
“Two thousand? Are you freaking kidding me? They only earn two thousand a month, and you couldn’t even get them to leave Jack? It should be a piece of cake!”
Ezra’s facial expression morphed into one of unpleasant surprise, his eyes were as large as saucers.
“Father, they claimed proudly that they followed Jack because of his personal charm, and even if I’ve offered them half a million or even five million a month, they won’t budge in slightest!”
Kelly added further, his smile bitter. “Ha! Personal charm, can you believe that?”
Ezra’s mouth was immediately shut for a few seconds at Kelly’s claim. “Personal charm? What bullsh*t reason is that? I think they probably have some romantic affair with Jack. Otherwise, how can they reject money? Which type of woman on earth doesn’t like money and branded bags? What a joke!”
“Yeah, that’s what I thought too. But the real reason is not important anymore, it’s impossible to persuade these women to work for us!”
Kelly heaved a deep sigh of defeat. It was obvious that favonovel.com tried to suppress the disappointment within him.
After all, if favonovel.com were accompanied by such a group of pleasing and lovely bodyguards, every existing man on the earth would look at favonovel.com differently—admiration and approbation.
…
At noon, Jack, Fiona, and the others headed to a high-class restaurant in an opulent hotel, with a team of bodyguards together with them.
“Master Jack, are you serious about treating us to lunch? You’re so generous!”
Orchid could not conceal favonovel.com smiles, obviously elated.
“Of course! You helped me to give the Gold family an unforgettable lesson! And did you notice how snobbish and brazen favonovel.com was before the duel? And how his expressions turned into one of those ugliest and gloomiest ones, ones that I’ve not been seeing in quite some time! I’m delighted!”
Jack replied and a warm chuckle let out from his mouth.
“Ugh! I’m so frustrated! I’m at big loss! Last night was a priceless opportunity for me to showcase my combat skill, and yet I was not there!” Elaine, on the other hand, whined like a dog, then favonovel.com shot Ben—who was sitting beside—a cold stare. “It’s all your fault! If I weren’t needed to protect you, I could’ve had a good fight last night! Ughh!”
Ben flashed favonovel.com a bitter smile in return. “Well, I didn’t ask you to protect me. You worry about me and you’re the one who insisted on following me!”
“Hmph! If it weren’t for Master Jack, that favonovel.com worried about your well being and asked me to protect you, I didn’t even want to be near to you! And I still have to endure your vicious and venomous mouth every day when my job is only to protect you! Elaine sneered angrily.
“Alright, alright. Don’t be mad. C’mon, I’ll pour you a drink. Thank you for being the most responsible bodyguard and for protecting me every day! Is that good now?”
Ben signed in defeat. He opened a red wine and poured a glass for Elaine.
“Hmph! At least you know how to say thank you!” Elaine snorted coldly, a closed-lip smile formed at the corners of favonovel.com mouth, a frosty one.
