"Jonathan, how come you're here?"
Upon seeing Jonathan, Isabella asked in surprise.
Henry's face changed instantly, why is it this guy again, where did he spring out from?
Just when he saw Isabella about to drink the wine and let herself be manipulated, this damn fellow suddenly burst in!
"Sister, I was drinking downstairs just now and didn't have enough, so I wanted to find you and have a few more drinks with me."
Jonathan knew that Isabella wanted to get along well with the Newman family, so there was no use in saying anything else, so he immediately walked in with a smile.
Henry glared at Jonathan vehemently, drinking? Does anyone kick the door in to drink? This guy is definitely doing it on purpose!
"If you want to drink, go downstairs and drink. Besides, didn't I tell you to leave with Ella?" Isabella said.
Jonathan said, “Ah, don't mention that woman, I get angry every time I mention her. Sister, I'll drink this wine first, I'm thirsty from anger."
After saying that, he reached out to grab the goblet in Isabella's hand and was about to drink.
"My wine!"
Henry immediately tried to stop him. The wine had aphrodisiac in it. If this youngster drank it, it would cause a problem.
Jonathan glanced at him, "What's wrong, I can't even drink your wine? Still Young Master Henry, you're stingy!"
After saying that, Jonathan was about to drink, but just as he took a sip, the moment his tongue touched the red wine, he felt something was wrong and immediately stopped.
Jonathan is a divine doctor, so he could tell that there were other things in the red wine.
His eyes narrowed slightly and looked at Henry. This grandson really didn't hold any good intentions!
With this thought, he put down the goblet and said to Henry, "Give me another glass, what is this thing? It's uncomfortable to use."
"What do you know? This is the glass for drinking red wine. If you want to drink, first return that glass to Isabella, and I'll get you another one."
Seeing that Jonathan didn't drink that glass of wine, Henry breathed a sigh of relief. He had only tampered with Isabella's glass. If Jonathan drank it, his plan would be ruined.
"No need, I think your glass is pretty good, let's switch."
Jonathan pointed to Henry.
Henry looked at the goblet in his hand and was stunned. Aren't these two glasses the same? He understood, this guy was here to make trouble!
"Jonathan, stop messing around!"
At this time, Isabella also realized that Jonathan was doing it on purpose and hurriedly said seriously.
Seeing that his senior sister was angry, Jonathan stopped, “Senior sister, I didn't mean to mess around, I just think his glass looks good."
Isabella pinched Jonathan's arm unhappily, "They are all the same thing, what's good looking?"
After saying that, she said to Henry, "I'm sorry Mr. Newman, my junior brother is too ignorant, I will take him away first."
After that, Isabella grabbed Jonathan and walked out, while Henry stared at Jonathan's back.
This damn guy, constantly ruining his good deeds, boy, I will make you pay!
At this time, Jonathan, who was leaving with Isabella, suddenly said, "Senior sister, I need to use the bathroom, I'll go there first."
"Ah? Should I wait for you here?"
"No need, you go ahead, I'll be right there."
After watching Isabella enter the elevator and go downstairs, Jonathan's face instantly turned cold, and he turned back to Henry's private room.
Seeing Jonathan suddenly come back, Henry was stunned and immediately shouted angrily, "Boy, what are you back for!"
Jonathan looked at Henry expressionlessly, "Have you forgotten my warning?"
Henry's heart skipped a beat, the scene of Jonathan slapping him last time was still fresh in his memory.
"You……what do you want to do!"
"I should be the one asking you that, what did you put in my senior sister's glass?"
"I don't understand what you're talking about, boy, don't think that just because you are Isabella's junior brother, I won't dare to touch you!"
Henry clenched his teeth, his eyes glaring at Jonathan.
Jonathan sneered, "Don't understand? That's easy to handle, I'll beat you up again, then you'll understand."
A flash of panic appeared in Henry's eyes, he gritted his teeth and said, "Boy, I admit that I can't beat you, but dare you let me call someone, when my people arrive, see how I deal with you!"
"Oh, you're getting tough now, go ahead and call, I'd like to see who you can call!" Jonathan scoffed.
"You just wait," Henry immediately took out his phone and made a call, "Mr. Quickley, hurry up and bring people to my room, help me waste someone, I'll give you five million!"
After hanging up the phone, Henry somehow gained courage again, pointing at Jonathan arrogantly, "Boy, you're done!"
Snap!
"Ah!"
Jonathan raised his hand and broke Henry's finger, "I hate people pointing at me."
Henry was screaming, clutching his hand, looking at Jonathan, his eyes were full of killing intent.
Just you wait, when Mr. Quickley arrives, I will make you wish you were dead!
Just then, a series of footstep sounds came from outside, and a middle-aged man rushed in with five or six subordinates, "Henry, who do you want me to waste?"
This middle-aged man was none other than Ryan.
Seeing Ryan, Henry's eyes lit up, he immediately ran to his side and said, "It's that boy, hurry up and let your brothers waste him, five million will be transferred immediately!"
"Don't worry, leave it to me!"
Ryan was overjoyed, he didn't expect to earn five million by attending a wine party. He had offended Mr. Cornell a while ago, which made the Leigh family very unhappy. If he gave the five million to the Leigh family, maybe their attitude towards him would be better.
He raised his head, was about to let his subordinates start, but when he saw Jonathan, he was dumbfounded, " Cornell... Mr. Cornell?"
Jonathan was also a little surprised, he didn't expect to run into Ryan here, and immediately said, "Mr. Quickley, you want to waste me?"
Boom!
One sentence made Ryan feel like a thunderbolt in his mind, his whole body was shaking.
Waste Jonathan? What a joke! This is a big figure who even the Leigh family has to respect. It was already lucky to be able to survive from Jonathan's hands last time. If he dared to offend Jonathan again this time, he might not know how to write the word 'death'!
Ryan is a smart man, he immediately came to Jonathan's side, bowing and scraping to apologize, "How could it be, who dares to offend Mr. Cornell, that's offending me, Ryan!"
Seeing his reliance showing loyalty to Jonathan, Henry was dumbfounded.
Isn't this guy from the countryside? Why is he so obsequious to Jonathan?
He couldn't help saying, "Mr. Quickley, are you mistaken? He's just a country bumpkin, and he's also worthy of being called a master?"
"Get out of here, who are you calling a country bumpkin!"
Ryan went up and kicked Henry, Henry screamed and fell on the ground, wailing.
"Beat him up! Damn it, dare to move Mr. Cornell, tired of living!"
With Ryan's order, several subordinates rushed to Henry and kicked and punched him, beating Henry to the ground and groaning.
After enough beating, Ryan said with a smile, "Mr. Cornell, how about it? If you think it's not enough, I'll let my brothers continue to beat him."
Jonathan nodded, "Well, not bad, quite sensible. This guy dared to have designs on my senior sister, you should know what to do."
"Don't worry Mr. Cornell, I guarantee he won't appear in front of your senior sister again!" Ryan patted his chest.
"That's about right. I'll leave it to you. I'm out of here."
Jonathan said, not even bothering to look at Henry. He left the private room.
Seeing Jonathan leave, Ryan breathed a sigh of relief and then turned to his men, saying, "Give him a lesson and throw him out."
"Ryan! I'm a member of the Newman family. You'll regret this for going against me for the sake of a country bumpkin!" Henry shouted in terror.
"The Newman family," Ryan sneered, "means nothing in Mr. Cornell's eyes. Go ahead, do it!"
Accompanied by two screams, Ryan was severely beaten and thrown out.
As for Henry's threats, Ryan pretended not to hear them.
Someone who could make the Leigh family treat him with respect would fear the Newman family's revenge? That's a joke!
After this incident, Mr. Cornell's attitude toward him should have improved, right? With that in mind, perhaps I can ask Mr. Cornell for help in the future.
