Chapter 115 Infinite Pressure
The young master of the Tucker family was very diligent these days, which was a consensus in the business circle.
There was a business party tonight and Antonio would also come. Because of this, many young ladies had specially dressed up before coming to the party.
When the lights were lit, many gentlemen and ladies in fine clothes gathered around the swimming pool of a villa. The villa was crowded with elites of Lehcaster.
Even so, there was still a hierarchy among these top-class elites.
"Mr. Tucker, you've been very active in social engagements and diligent recently. Is it because you were motivated by a beautiful woman?" An elite who seemed to be in his thirties toasted Antonio and said in a joking voice.
Much to his surprise, this young businessman actually admitted it. "You're right. Mr. Braxton, your eyes are still sharp."
Mr. Braxton was surprised. He asked, "Which lady is it? Who's so lucky to win your heart, Mr. Tucker?"
Antonio waved his hand and said with a smile, "Mr. Braxton, I have to correct you. It was my luck to meet her. I feel blessed by God since I could meet her in this life. If I can marry her someday, I think it would be the luckiest thing in my life."
At this moment, a commotion came from ahead.
Antonio and Mr. Braxton were both drawn by the commotion and looked toward the gate.
"Is that Bentley Shawn, the president of the Shawn Group?" Mr. Braxton who stood beside Antonio asked in astonishment. "No one said that this business tycoon would also take part in this party tonight."
Then he turned to Antonio and asked, "Mr. Tucker, do you know the Shawn Group?"
Antonio directly ignored him, put down his goblet, and walked straight to the gate.
Mr. Braxton was astonished when he found that Antonio was walking toward the man who had caused a commotion at the gate.
Antonio studied in Clodon before and had only been back to the country for less than one year, while Bentley had been leaving in the country. How could these two people know each other?
People in the business circle knew little about Antonio and Bentley's childhood story.
As soon as Bentley showed up at the party, he caused a commotion. All people, men or women, had their eyes lit up when Bentley showed up at the gate.
Men all wanted to walk over to greet Bentley, hoping that he could remember them, while women refined their make-up, smoothened their dresses, and tucked their hair. They all stared at Bentley eagerly.
Then there came a commotion from the crowd again. They stepped aside and made way for Antonio.
"Oh, isn't this Mr. Shawn?" An evil and unruly grin appeared on Antonio's handsome face. With a hand in the pocket of his suit pant, he gracefully walked to the man at the gate and said, "Mr. Shawn, I didn't expect that you're also interested in a party of this scale."
Bentley only had indifference in his charming eyes. He stood on the spot, watched Antonio walking toward him step by step, and said, "I came out for relaxation. All parties are the same to me."
"Relaxation? Oh, Mr. Shawn, did you encounter any tough nut these days?" Antonio continued, "How about this? Mr. Shawn, I would like to invite you to Royal Club for relaxation."
Bentley abruptly narrowed his deep-set, charming eyes. Antonio said so though he knew Bentley was the owner of Royal Club! He was trying to provoke him!
He curled up his lips indifferently and waved at the waiter who stood not far away. The waiter immediately walked over with a tray. Bentley took a glass of wine from the tray, handed it to Antonio, picked up another glass for himself, and said, "Mr. Tucker, sounds like you're very concerned about me. but you should care more about yourself. The dark circles under your eyes have gotten more serious. Did you often stay up late these days?"
However, another voice in his heart told him, "You've been captivated by her. Otherwise, why did you target the Tucker Group and the Tucker family? You could imprison her so that she couldn't get in touch with Antonio anymore. But why didn't you do that? You're afraid that the smile on her face would disappear again, right?"
After walking into the restroom, Bentley stared at his reflection in the mirror coldly and shouted to himself toughly in his heart, "No! That's not true. I, Bentley Shawn, would never fall for such an evil-minded woman. I targeted the Tucker family and the Tucker Group because I disliked Antonio. Since Antonio had the guts to touch my thing, of course, he should learn a lesson. That's all!"
Antonio went back home without waiting for the party to come to an end.
All was quiet in the dead of night, but there was still light coming out of the window of the study on the second floor.
Behind the desk, there sat a man who was focused on his work.
Antonio's fingers danced on the keyboard nonstop. After a while, he picked up the cup of coffee beside him and gulped it down. Then he immersed himself in his work again.
Bentley was right. If he slacked off now, he wouldn't be able to deal with the following attacks from Bentley.
Antonio only felt a gush of powerlessness at this moment. He and Bentley had been frenemies since childhood and they would compete on everything. However, he never won.
Antonio didn't want to accept this back then, and this wouldn't change today.
It was just that Bentley was really a monster. Only after starting his battle against him did Antonio find out that Bentley totally stood out no matter in terms of strategies, capital, or talent.
"I never won when we were young, but this time, I can't lose." Caroline was the only thing that he couldn't lose to Bentley!
The light in Antonio's study only went out at 4 o'clock in the morning.
