Chapter 112 Showing Off
“Oh? How big is it?” Jonathan asked plainly when he heard the remarks made by the lady in heavy makeup.
“Hmph, how big? You might pee your pants if I tell you,” the lady sneered. “The Ximenez family owns businesses in every corner of Jazona with assets worth billions. Even the governor of Jazona, Kingstone, has to personally receive Kyson and his father. Furthermore, his brother, Hendrick Ximenez, dominates both legal and underground circles. Have you heard of Hendrick the Terrible?”
Hendrick the Terrible is Kyson’s elder brother?
The moment they heard the name, the students’ expressions drastically changed.
I heard Hendrick the Terrible is a famous gangster in Jazona. He is someone ruthless and has taken many lives throughout the years.
All this while, they were aware of the moniker Hendrick the Terrible. It was just that they didn’t know he was Kyson’s brother.
“I have not heard of him before.” Jonathan took a sip of his coffee. “Are you done? Is that all there is to the Ximenez family? What’s the big deal?”
What’s the big deal?
In response, the lady looked at Jonathan as if he was an idiot.
How can the Ximenez family, who owns billions of assets and is extremely well-connected in Jazona, not mean anything to Jonathan?
She wasn’t alone in her sentiments.
Everyone else looked at Jonathan as if he was a fool.
In fact, some of them even thought that he was crazy.
How dare a gofer at a construction site trivialize the Ximenez family? Does he have a death wish? Does he know that they can squash him like an insect anytime they want?
“Hah, I hope you can still maintain the arrogance you have right now for later,” the lady sneered at Jonathan’s words. “Please make sure you don’t end up begging on your knees later. Or else, I will look down on you!”
“Stop it!” When Josephine heard the lady’s sarcastic comments, she couldn’t help but snap, “Are you done yet?”
“What’s wrong? First, your husband beats up someone, and now, you refuse to let us criticize him?” the lady retorted with a sarcastic tone. “Look at how badly your husband has beaten up Mr. Ximenez. How is he going to join the film crew for work tomorrow?”
At that moment, someone from the crowd questioned the lady, “What has that got anything to do with you?”
“I’m sure none of you are aware that Lily is the female lead in Kyson’s new movie,” another lady remarked with a smirk. “If Kyson can’t continue filming, her role would naturally be jeopardized.”
“Oh? Lily is the female lead? Does she and Kyson have some sort of clandestine arrangement?”
The crowd gazed suspiciously at both Lily and Kyson, causing Kyson to blush in response.
Obviously, someone had struck her nerve. “Shut up and stop making wild speculations. Mr. Ximenez has a girlfriend, for goodness sake.”
“So what if he has one? That’s doesn’t stop both of you from cheating together.”
“Exactly, but don’t worry, we will not tell Kyson’s girlfriend about it.”
The crowd began cracking jokes at Lily and Kyson’s expense. Of course, if they could ridicule Jonathan, they naturally wouldn’t hold back against Lily.
