Chapter 12: Golden K Bar
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
But Quinn Young’s regret wasn’t because she had offended Cole Stone.
Her regret stemmed from the fact that she did not convince James Lewis to send Cole Stone to the hospital earlier.
Otherwise, why would she end up like this?
But ultimately, she believed that her suffering was thanks to Cole Stone.
It was all because this ungrateful bastard did not speak up for her despite their previous relationship.
Getting Jane Smith to abandon him was indeed the right choice.
Quinn Young’s gaze turned vicious as she stared at Cole Stone’s back.
…
Cole Stone managed to get a credit card after queuing up at the bank for a while.
Because of his request, the credit card limit wasn’t very high.
It was similar to his other credit cards.
Then, Cole Stone left the bank.
When he went out, Cole Stone noticed that Quinn Young was already gone.
Cole Stone did not take the incident to heart.
He walked out of the bank with Terence Carter showing utmost respect to him.
…
Cole Stone felt a little bad.
He had originally thought that it would be too ostentatious to leave the 1.5m in the card.
It would be more appropriate to return it to Cara Williams.
If this happened in the future whenever he scanned his identity card, how could he go into a bank and settle some procedures in peace?
When he saw Terence Carter’s attitude, Cole Stone knew that the same situation would occur in the other branches.
When he was at the bank, he planned to transfer the money back to Cara Williams’ account.
However, there was nothing he could do about it.
A transfer of over a million dollars needed an appointment in advance.
Hence, he was unable to transfer out the money back to her this afternoon.
Cole Stone could only come back tomorrow.
He could not help but shake his head.
Indeed…
People with great power were indeed different from the average person.
An ordinary person like him still had to make an appointment with the bank to transfer money—even if the money was a million dollars.
But if it was Cara Williams, Cole Stone reckoned that she would only have to get someone to transfer money in her stead.
The difference was glaring and obvious!
Cole Stone shook his head.
Just then…
Ring. Ring, Ring!
His phone suddenly rang.
Cole Stone took out his phone. “Miss Williams?”
He answered, “Miss Williams, good afternoon! What is it?”
Cara William’s lazy voice sounded. “If I didn’t call you, would you even call me first?”
“This fiancé of mine is really not as thoughtful as I expected.”
Cole Stone: “Uh, I had things to do today. I got busy.”
“What things are more important than me?”
Beaded sweat formed on Cole Stone’s forehead.
He immediately changed the topic. “Nothing—Oh right! Miss Williams, why did you call me?”
Cara Williams smiled. “I’m fine. I just wanted to check on you. I have an afternoon tea party later. Where are you right now? I’ll come there and pick you up.”
Cole Stone’s expression changed.
He saw a head wrapped in thick bandages in the mirror.
After a few moments of silence, he rejected her flatly.
“Miss Williams, I still have things to do. We should just talk once we’re free.”
Cole Stone truly wanted to talk about a lot of things with Cara Williams. But if Cara Williams saw his injured state, it would be a piece of cake for her to find out that James Lewis was the one who inflicted such injuries to him.
If Cara Williams went against the Lewis family because of him…
Cole Stone would have no idea how he was going to pay such a heavy debt of gratitude.
The Williams could overpower the Lewis, but they would still have to pay a price in dealing with a descendant from an aristocratic family such as the Lewis.
Thinking about this, Cole Stone knew what to do—he couldn’t possibly owe her more!
“Okay…”
Cara Williams did not insist.
“Then I’ll be hanging up now. The afternoon tea party’s about to start.”
“Okay.”
Cole Stone nodded.
The call ended.
Cole Stone shook his head. ‘Let’s go home first.’
…
Williams Corporation.
Cara Williams put down her phone.
“Miss Williams, on the road today, Mr Stone…”
The chauffeur who had previously brought Cole Stone to the Williams Corporation was standing in front of Cara Williams.
He was Hugh Williams.
He was the confidant of Cara Williams’ father and one of the few people she trusted the most.
Otherwise, Cara Williams wouldn’t have sent her to fetch Cole Stone.
“Alright, Uncle Hugh, I understand.”
Cara Williams remained expressionless; there was no sign of sadness or joy on her face.
Looking at the photo on her phone, Cara Williams’ red lips parted slightly.
“You’re afraid of troubling me over such a small matter? How silly of you…”
…
10 p.m.
At the Golden K Bar.
The Golden K Bar was Sky City’s most luxurious bar.
Normally at ten o’clock, the Golden K Bar would still be empty.
But today, it was packed to the brim.
Many people danced passionately on the dance floor, a kaleidoscope of lights flickered everywhere, and the beats of the music stirred everyone’s hearts to the rhythm.
Even the corners of the bar were filled with the clinking of wine glasses and uncontrollable laughter.
But despite the noise, everyone remained relatively comfortable.
“Thank you, Mr Lewis!”
“Bravo, Mr Lewis!”
The reason why the bar had such an atmosphere to it tonight was because of the barman’s announcement ten minutes ago.
“Mr Lewis will pay for everybody’s tab today!”
At that moment, the entire venue erupted!
…
James Lewis sat inside the largest booth in the bar.
There were several handsome men and beautiful women around him.
Beside him was the charming Jane Smith with exquisite make-up on her face.
“Mr Lewis, you’re truly a generous man. To think that you would pay for everyone’s tab just like that…”
“Yeah, he’s so friendly too. He doesn’t sit in a private room and is with us tonight in his booth.”
“Mr Lewis, let me dedicate this toast to you.”
A few men laughed and raised their glasses to James Lewis.
The other hot beauties secretly winked at James Lewis.
Seeing that, Jane Smith immediately held onto James Lewis’ wrist.
James Lewis laughed in high spirits. “I’m in a good mood today, so of course I have to be generous.”
The others cheered in sheer admiration.
James Lewis then took out a stack of photos and passed it to Jane Smith. “Take this.”
In the photos—Cole Stone could be seen guiding a few gorgeous female students in their gym training.
But due to the specific angle of the photos, Cole Stone and his female students appeared extremely intimate.
Jane Smith’s expression changed. “What’s this?”
“I got his boss to edit this from the surveillance cameras. As long as you use it well, you frame him for cheating.”
“How dare he try to go against me? I can easily destroy him with a simple move like this.”
James Lewis smiled sinisterly.
Hearing this, Jane Smith stared blankly…
Her eyes shone in excitement.
Jane Smith immediately became agitated.
Wouldn’t she be able to use this forged evidence to her advantage?
Just then…
There was a commotion outside the bar.
James Lewis was puzzled. “What’s going on?”
“It’s Cara Williams—she’s here!”
