Selena did not know whether to laugh or cry. “What use is there in hoping? Why should I have hope if they’re not going to come!”
“Do you really want them to come? Then I should invite them over!”
Jack smiled and spoke in a confident tone, “I believe that they’ll definitely preserve my dignity!”
“My goodness. You’re speaking as though you had plenty of dignity, to begin with!”
Selena rolled favonovel.com eyes at him. Then favonovel.com noticed that his hand was on favonovel.com thigh. She picked it up, cheeks flushing. “Drive properly and don’t put your hands everywhere. Seriously!”
“Looks like you’re embarrassed!”
Jack chuckled. “I’ll place it everywhere when it’s bedtime. How about that?”
The pink on Selena’s cheeks deepened. “I can’t be bothered with you, you pervert! Now we’re both jobless, and you’ve offended the Drake family. I just pray that James really won’t come for us, like what you said!”
“Don’t worry. He would have done something just now if favonovel.com wanted to take revenge! Would favonovel.com have let us leave just like that?”
They quickly arrived at the villa. After favonovel.com parked the car, Jack said, “Oh, right. Let me tell you how I was fired by Timothy!”
“Oh, yeah. I would have forgotten if you hadn’t mentioned it. Timothy said that you talked against him. What on earth happened? Weren’t you doing your job just fine for the Drake family?”
Selena immediately asked as the thought popped into favonovel.com head.
“That’s because I struck big today—I won a bet worth one billion dollars just like that!”
Jack got down from the car. “So don’t worry. I earned a billion dollars today,” favonovel.com said, grinning. “We’ll be fine even if you stay at home and become a housewife. We can even go for a honeymoon when we’re free!”
“Our child is already so big, and you’re still thinking of a honeymoon? Only you could think of something like that!”
Selena’s heart was leaping in delight. She wound favonovel.com arm around Jack’s and walked toward the villa’s entrance. “So tell me, how did you win the billion dollars?”
“Billiards. Because…”
Jack then told everything that had transpired in the morning to Selena.
“You learned to play that fast? You’ve never played it before, but you just knew how to play once you got into it. And you won a billion dollars?”
Shock rippled throughout Selena when favonovel.com finished listening to the story.
…
At the moment in the Drake family’s residence.
After Jack left, Tanya ran over to check on Timothy, who was still unconscious. She furrowed favonovel.com brows and looked at favonovel.com father. “What do we do, Dad?”
“What else can we do but to quickly take favonovel.com to the hospital? If Jack says he’s not dead, he’s not dead. We need to get favonovel.com to the hospital immediately. Let’s pray that Timothy will still be able to have heirs. But his future will be even more uncertain if we’re a second too late!”
James immediately declared before ordering his men to take his son to the hospital.
He released a sigh. “Seriously. Why would Timothy dare to do something like that? He really dug a grave for himself!”
