Chapter 72
Chapter 72
Under the shocking gaze of Brittany, Jon bowed nonstop to Harold.
Even a bigwig like Craig got to his knees and bowed at this guy in front of the public... I'm nothing compared to Craig!
To Jon, Harold's words were absolute now. As long as Harold was willing to let him off, Jon would do anything Harold asked him to do without a second thought.
Hearing what Jon just said, Brittany was utterly dumbfounded.
The onlookers were gaping in astonishment at the scene as well. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
Earlier, they thought Brittany, the gold digger, dumped the penniless Harold and dated Jon, the silver- spooned kid.
However, that didn't seem to be the case.
There's no doubt that Jon comes from a wealthy family. Yet, the so-called pauper who was dumped has a more impressive background! Even the silver-spooned kid needed to get to his knees to beg for the man's mercy. Unfortunately, this gold digger has no idea that the man whom she deemed a pauper is no ordinary person. How ridiculous that she even asked him to get to his knees to beg for the rich kid's forgiveness.
The turn of events was too dramatic that even Harold was flabbergasted.
Hmm... how did this person find out about my true identity? The Five-Year Agreement has just ended. I reckon not more than ten people in Dellmoor know about my background.
Just as Harold was thinking of asking how Jon knew about his real identity, he received Logan's message, saying that Isabella and Marilyn were reaching the movie theater.
Therefore, Harold voiced, “Jon Sullivan, right? Just stay away from Brittany from today onward. Now, get out of my sight!”
Harold thought of allowing Jon to leave first, lest Isabella and Brittany felt awkward meeting each other.
“Yes, Mr. Campbell. Right away!” Jon responded immediately.
He sighed in relief upon hearing what Harold had said. After rolling over once, Jon rose from the ground and bolted out of the movie theater as though he was running for his life.
Once again, everyone's jaws dropped when they saw that.
Wow! Such a scene could only be seen in movies or television in the past. I've never expected such a thing to happen in real life. The silver-spooned kid scrambled away when he was asked to do so. How scared was he for him to make such a fool of himself like that?
Before the movie even started, everyone had already witnessed an exciting scene.
“D-Did you threaten Jon with some sort of violent acts?” Brittany blurted out after staring at Harold for a
long while.
In truth, Harold was a former soldier. Brittany knew that he was quite a skillful fighter.
Apart from threats of violence, I've no idea what other tactics Harold has to make Jon frightened like this.
Harold, who looked exasperated, did not reply but questioned Brittany in return, “Is that what you think of me? I'm a man who resolves everything with violence?”
However, on second thought, Harold realized he seemed to indeed have attained his current status by using physical force.
“Hmph! How barbaric!” Brittany let out a snort upon hearing Harold's response. Then, she turned around and walked away.
Harold let out a sigh of relief when both Brittany and Jon had left.
With that, he made his way out of the crowd. He found himself a seat in a corner with dim lighting. After sitting down, he ordered a drink and waited for Isabella.
Seeing that the scene had ended, the onlookers eventually dispersed and hung around the area, waiting for the movie to start.
Meanwhile, Isabella and Marilyn rushed toward the movie theater after having their dinner.
Immediately after they fished out the movie tickets, Marilyn noticed her phone was ringing.
She glanced at her phone and was surprised to see that the caller was her boss. Hence, she hurriedly answered the call.
Two minutes later, she said, “Bella, my boss is asking me to head back to the office. I have to record a song at the last minute. I don't think I can watch this movie with you. What about you look for your contractual hubby to accompany you?”
