Chapter 33: Don't Call Me a Pussy

"A cocktail party? What is that?" Jonathan asked. Noah's face stiffened, how should he explain? At this moment, Benjamin from the side said, "A cocktail party is where a bunch of people walk around with wine glasses, eat little food and can't enjoy the drink, it's meaningless." "If it's meaningless, then I'm not going. Let's go, see you later." After waving to Noah, Jonathan left with Benjamin. Seeing this, Noah gave a bitter smile. It seemed he would have to find another opportunity to get closer to Dr. Cornell. "Boss..." At this time, Ryan looked at Noah with a face full of blood, his heart filled with fear. He was truly afraid that Noah would make him disappear from this world. Noah glanced at him and said, "You're lucky this time. If you encounter Dr. Cornell again, do you know what to do?" Ryan quickly nodded his head, "I know, I know." After Noah left, Ryan sat on the ground with his buttocks, it was so close, he was so close to losing his life today! If he encounters Jonathan in the future, he will definitely serve him as if he were his own grandfather. At this time, a little brother came over, dragging the unconscious Joshua, "Mr. Quickley, Mr. Cropper hasn't woken up yet, what should we do?" When he saw Joshua, Ryan was so angry that he couldn't vent his anger. If it wasn't for this idiot, he wouldn't have gotten into such a big trouble! "Teach him a lesson for me, then send him back to the Cropper family," Ryan said. "Yes, Mr. Quickley." The little brother nodded his head and dragged Joshua away. ... Cropper family villa. Joshua lay on the bed, his body wrapped in bandages, especially his head, which was beaten into a pig's head. At this moment, Avery walked into the room, and her face turned cold when she saw her brother's condition. "Sis, you have to avenge me. Look at me, I've been beaten like this again." As soon as he saw his sister, Joshua immediately cried out. "Who did it?" Avery asked coldly. "Who else could it be, it's that country bumpkin Jonathan. I gambled with him at the casino, not only did I lose money, but I was also beaten by him!" Because Joshua had been unconscious, he didn't know that Ryan had also taught him a lesson, so he attributed all his injuries to Jonathan. Bang! Avery slapped the table, "Jonathan! It's him again, does he really think that my Cropper family can't deal with him?" "Sis, when is Master York coming? I can't wait. I want Jonathan to die!" Joshua yelled. "Master York is already on his way, he will arrive at Skyward State in three days. You endure for a few more days, once Master York arrives, I promise to help you get your revenge!" "Okay, I'll endure. But sis, make sure Master York leaves him alive, I want to make him wish he was dead!" Joshua gritted his teeth and said. Avery said, "Don't worry, Master York is a martial arts expert. No matter how capable Jonathan is, he is not an opponent of Master York. By that time, I will let him know the consequences of offending my Cropper family!" On the other hand, Benjamin drove Jonathan back to the villa, but he had other things to do, so he made an appointment with Jonathan to come here frequently to practice martial arts and then left. When Jonathan returned home, he saw a red Audi parked at the entrance of the villa, and Evelyn was waiting for him there. "Woman, why are you here?" Jonathan asked. Evelyn didn't answer, but asked coldly, "Why aren't you answering the phone?" She had been waiting here for more than half an hour, made several calls, but Jonathan didn't pick up any of them. Jonathan was taken aback, took out his second-hand Nokia and looked at it, "It's out of power." Evelyn forcefully suppressed her anger, "You've been using this all along?" "Yeah, this phone cost me more than fifty dollars back then." Jonathan said. Evelyn was speechless, how could this guy, who now lives in a villa, still use such a shabby thing. "Get in the car, come with me," Evelyn said. "Where to?" "The shopping mall, to buy you a set of clothes." Upon hearing this, Jonathan immediately got into the car. If someone was willing to buy clothes for him, why wouldn't he go? Two hours later, Jonathan was holding a new smartphone in his hand and wearing a blue suit, constantly looking in the mirror in the villa's living room. Looking at himself in the mirror, Jonathan nodded with satisfaction. What a handsome guy he was! This woman Evelyn is really considerate, the phone cost more than ten thousand, and this suit is even more than a hundred thousand. "Woman, it's not New Year's today, why are you buying me these?" After looking in the mirror enough, Jonathan turned back and asked Evelyn who was sitting on the sofa. Evelyn said, "There's a cocktail party in three days, and my grandfather wants to invite you to attend." "A cocktail party? That's boring, I'm not going." Jonathan refused directly. But he was also curious, why were they all inviting him to a cocktail party? Noah had also invited him before. "Who told you that cocktail parties are boring?" Evelyn asked. "Benjamin. He said cocktail parties are boring because you can't enjoy the drinks and there's not much food." Evelyn was speechless, cocktail parties are for making friends and discussing cooperation, not for eating. She patted her forehead and said, "Stop learning from him in the future. He's from the province, his family situation is different from ours... I'm just giving you a heads up today, I'll pick you up in three days." "I've said I'm not going, it's a waste of time." Jonathan said impatiently. "Not going? Alright, then give me back everything you're wearing and using." "This...Alright, I'll go." As the saying goes, one who accepts a favor gives a short measure. Since he has accepted her things, he might as well attend that damn cocktail party. In these three days, Jonathan did not go out, either guiding Benjamin in martial arts, or practicing himself, occasionally going to Everwell Clinic to take a look, until the evening of the third day when Evelyn came to pick him up in her car, he realized that the damn cocktail party was about to begin. Evelyn drove Jonathan to a six-story European-style house. The blue roof, grey brick walls, and overall European style were very eye-catching. Each floor of the house was brightly lit, and countless luxury cars were parked at the entrance. Many people were chatting and laughing as they walked into the house. After getting out of the car, Jonathan immediately compared his clothes with those outside. Hmm, this woman Evelyn has good taste, this suit perfectly highlights his handsomeness. "Let's go, let's go in," Evelyn said, and then she took the lead in walking in. "Damn, can't this woman wait for me?" Jonathan cursed under his breath and followed her. Today's cocktail party is organized by the Skyward State Chamber of Commerce. Although it is not an official organization, it is highly authoritative. Upon reaching the second floor, Jonathan's eyes widened as if he had never seen the world before. Good lord, this place is magnificent, brightly lit, and the decorations are extremely lavish. It's more luxurious and upscale than any five-star hotel! "This scene is not small, it's more lively than our village fair, woman, where is this?" "This is the Skyward Chamber of Commerce's banquet. And also, didn't I tell you, don't call me a woman!" Evelyn said with glaring eyes.
