Chapter 495 - Gadget (1)

...

Inside the courtyard, in City Q.

Around the mahjong table, there sat three men and a woman. They were Korbin, Dorothy, Roger, and Jaquan, the new 'brother in law' of the Albertons.

"Jaquan, there is another dispute over the payment for goods in my shop. It is because the supplier didn't ship the goods on time that made me suffer a loss. But in the end, both the supplier and buyers sued me for compensation. Do I have any other solutions other than a violent threat?"

Before Jaquan responded, Roger interrupted.

"Is that a problem? Jaquan, you should help me first. Listen to me. One of my staff quit and worked in another shop then, but cops just happened to check the shop and found that the staff had a criminal record. The shop owner said it was my fault, but that bastard has already left my company. He was done with his resignation documents. He has nothing to do with me. Actually, I know that shop owner very well, but now I want to kill him. What should I do now? "

Jaquan was tired of all these things.

Ever since Jaquan came here, he was a counselor of the whole Alberton family. Up from Deon, Korbin, and Roger to the butler and valets, everyone from the Alberton family regarded Jaquan as their adviser since he had solved a case with Korbin. The Albertons even asked him about the least important things. For example, the gardener would come to him to ask where the seeds should be sprinkled.

Especially after dinner, he would be invited to play mahjong with the Albertons. He couldn't lose, nor win, too much. In addition, he had to think about the problems the two young masters encountered. Otherwise, they were about to resort to violence. To maintain social security, Jaquan felt obliged to give them the alternatives for the solutions.

Dorothy, who had been eating melon seeds, said, "Can't we just enjoy our game? Please don't be so mean!"

Roger was annoyed, "You sure can enjoy your game because it has nothing to do with your shop. Your restaurant is so peaceful. Those who go to eat in your shop are all foreigners or PhDs who returned from overseas. They are all highly educated. The biggest problem for you is that the seats are not enough for your dishes are so popular. Look at us, we have to compete with our competitors all the time..."

While eating, Dorothy took out a card and threw it out, "You are more tired than me because you grow one thing more than me!"

Jaquan was speechless.

Did he think too much?

It must be.

"Oh yes!" Roger took the card and showed another two of himself. "What? Are you jealous? You should blame your boobs." He smiled.

Jaquan was dumbfounded.

Was it the way the siblings talk to each other?

Dorothy curled her lips and threw out another card. Then she turned to Jaquan and asked, "Hey, how can you stay so long? You should be very tired with us, right?" As she grabbed her melon seeds, she made a gesture to Jaquan, "Stop losing your cards to Korbin. We're not blind."

Jaquan didn't know what to say.

"Right, be honest. Are you tired of being with us?" Roger asked with a lollipop in his mouth.

"I was pretty tired at first." Jaquan frankly said, "I'm worried that you don't like me, so I've been tense."

Korbin extinguished the cigarette in his hand and casually tossed out a card. "What's there to worry about whether we like you or not?"

"What he means is that you should care about Ms. Bernice and Deon." Dorothy touched that card thrown by Korbin. She did not resemble Emma at all. She probably took after her mother more. She was petite and beautiful, but she acted generously. She was more like a man. Even when sitting here playing mahjong, she did not show a bit of weakness and pretension of girls.

But Jaquan had seen her acting like a little girl. When the whole family sat around the table for dinner, Dorothy smiled so sweetly like a different person. After dinner, she would cling to Deon for a while, like a little princess begging for candy.

"You don't have to worry about Ms. Bernice. She seems to like you a lot." Dorothy grabbed another handful of melon seeds and said with a grimace, "I thought she would find someone like Dad. I didn't expect ... she likes you. What a coincidence, I also like you."

Jaquan was shocked.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. I'm just saying." Dorothy explained, "I can't beat her, and I don't think you will like me."

Jaquan said nothing.

"Don't scare him," Roger said to Jaquan, taking down the lollipop. "She was just jealous of Emma for she and you are in love with each other. For us, it is rarely seen."

"Rarely seen?" Jaquan asked in confusion, "Every people will be in love. Why do you think it is rarely seen?"

"Don't you see who we are? Normal persons won't be willing to date with us. Men would be scared to death. Women do it for money. Even if it's not for money, they are for other purposes." Roger bit the lollipop and his eyes lit up. "I win..."

Roger won the game.

Everyone calculated the money and gave it to Roger before another round of the game.

Dorothy took a sip of the red wine beside her and asked, "Did you know who she is when you were with Emma in the beginning?"

Jaquan shook his head.

"That's it," Roger blinked.. "I'm sure she didn't tell you because she was afraid that you would avoid her after you know it."
