When Ryan Caldwell went to the courthouse, his driver took him there. In addition, his family assigned him two bodyguards to accompany him, and there were even private cars escorting him in front and behind.
"Are you worried that Jeff will retaliate against Ryan? He dares to touch my son!"
Inside the villa, Ryan's father's face was contorted with rage, veins bulging.
Ryan's father had already guessed why Ryan's mother would arrange women for her son.
Ryan's mother was worried that Jeff would castrate Ryan, so she made Ryan give birth to a child in advance, so that they wouldn't be childless in the future.
Such foresight was quite poignant.
Ryan's mother said, "How do you know he wouldn't dare? You saw it today—Liu Zhengkun and Brother Gage treat him like their master. These two are capable of murder and arson—what wouldn't they dare to do?"
Snap!
Ryan's father angrily smashed a vase on the ground.
"If anything happens to my son, I'll fight Jeff to the death!"
Ryan's mother shook her head. "You don't need to worry too much. If Jeff really wanted to harm our son, he would have done so long ago."
"How could I not be worried!" Ryan's father exclaimed excitedly. "The reason he hasn't made a move yet is because of Emily. He wants to see Emily marry Ryan before he starts his revenge! It starts today!"
Ryan's mother grasped Ryan's father's hand and said, "You should deal with the company's affairs first. I'll go to Horizon Group to find Jeff first thing tomorrow morning, hoping to settle this grudge."
Ryan's father nodded. If it could be resolved peacefully, that would be best.
After all, Jeff's strength was too unfathomable, and the Caldwell family is no match for him.
...
11 p.m.
A pristine white Maybach Landaulet slowly drove into the Rose Garden villa area.
What makes this luxury car different from others is that it's somewhat like a horse-drawn carriage—the front and rear cabins are separate, and the roof of the rear seats can also be opened.
In May, Riverforge has just the right amount of slightly warm weather, with a gentle breeze at night that feels very comfortable.
From a distance, one could see that the car's front was luxurious but shrouded in darkness.
The rear half of the car had lights on and the roof open.
The light emanating from the back seat carried an air of luxury.
After seeing it, one can only exclaim, "This is too luxurious!"
One could vaguely see the man in the back seat, wearing a white suit and drinking champagne. All the women along the way were so infatuated with him that they wanted to kneel down and beg for his contact information.
Prince!
He's like a prince straight out of a fairy tale!
None of these women are worthy of him!
"Jeff! Chairman Sterling!"
At the entrance of the villa, as soon as the car entered, Sophia Grant stopped the "luxury carriage" and shouted to Jeff.
Jeff glanced to his right and slowly lowered the car window. Although the roof was open, the window was closed.
"Sophia Grant?"
Of course, Sophia wasn't the only one—Emily Harper was right next to her.
Emily, wearing a black Chanel dress, was as beautiful, charming, noble, and elegant as ever.
It seems a person's beauty is not greatly affected by their mood or character.
"Jeff..." Emily called out to Jeff.
Although she was dressed in expensive clothes, standing outside a car worth tens of millions, she felt like a beggar.
Sitting in the luxury car, Jeff looked like a prince from ancient times.
Jeff ignored Emily and looked at Sophia instead.
To be honest, Jeff and Sophia's relationship over the past three years had actually been quite good.
Sophia was arguably the friend who treated Jeff the best among Emily's friends.
Emily's other friends all looked down on Jeff. They never looked at Jeff properly when they met and always treated him like a servant.
They made him carry things around the mall, run errands to buy food and drinks, and treated Jeff like a servant.
However, Sophia never mocked Jeff; on the contrary, she often invited Jeff to dinner.
Perhaps it's because Sophia is obsessed with looks and likes handsome men, and Jeff just happens to fit her aesthetic.
Sophia was poised and graceful; because she was bending over, her beautiful long hair unconsciously fell down, obscuring her vision.
She flipped her hair back and said, "Haha, Jeff, I thought you wouldn't recognize me now that you've become Chairman Sterling."
Jeff laughed and said, "How could that be? I still owe you a few meals."
Sophia said, "Haha, Emily and I are here to beg for food from you. Can we go to your house and see your mansion?"
Jeff glanced at Emily, then said to Sophia, "Miss Grant, I'm very happy to have you here. Miss Harper, today is your wedding day with Young Master Caldwell. It's so late, so it's best not to come to my house to avoid any misunderstandings."
Sophia quickly took the divorce certificate from Emily's bag, handed it to Jeff, and said, "What misunderstanding? Emily and Ryan are divorced!"
Jeff glanced at Emily's divorce certificate, then returned it to Sophia, simply shaking his head without saying a word.
Of course, he knew why Emily got divorced.
Unexpectedly, Emily divorced on the very day of their wedding.
Seeing that Jeff didn't speak, Sophia leaned against the car window and pleaded coquettishly, "Handsome Jeff, please let us in together. What, are you afraid that the two of us will do something to you?"
Jeff knew that Sophia was always bold in her speech, and when it came to dirty jokes, Jeff was no match for Sophia.
Jeff didn't like Sophia very much because her private life was messy. Emily was originally a very well-behaved and pure girl, but she slowly turned bad after spending a lot of time with her.
However, judging from their appearance today, the two of them were determined to go inside.
Jeff knew that even if he rejected Emily today, she would still come looking for him.
"Get in the car," Jeff said.
"Thank you, Chairman Sterling!"
Sophia opened the passenger door and let Emily and Jeff sit in the back seat.
The front and back seats are completely different. The front seats are completely enclosed, while in the back seats, you can look up and see a sky full of stars!
Moreover, the rear seats are very spacious, just like first class on an airplane or business class on a high-speed train—extremely comfortable!
There's a table and a place to put champagne glasses.
Emily was extremely excited after sitting down.
Emily thought, This is my husband's car! A limited edition Maybach! I've never seen one like it before! It's so comfortable, and there's even champagne!
After Emily sat down, her left hand happened to touch a champagne glass. She picked up the empty glass and asked Jeff, "Could you pour me a glass?"
Jeff continued drinking his champagne, his gaze shifting to the left, ignoring her.
Because the front-row seats don't allow a view of the back row, Sophia couldn't see Emily's embarrassing situation.
The car stopped in less than two minutes.
The driver opened the car door for Jeff, and then Jeff led the two of them into the villa.
As soon as they entered the first floor of the villa, the two were stunned by the luxurious decorations inside.
Both of them were rich, beautiful, and had been to all kinds of houses, but Jeff's villa was far more luxurious and exquisite than they had ever imagined!
