Billionaire With Husband 438

Chapter 438

Jack glanced at Felix with a smirk and teased jokingly, "What else can I do? You made my relationship with the general manager hit rock bottom. I might have to run away now."

Vanessa was speechless. She knew Felix was extraordinary, and only Jack would dare speak to him this way.

"Don't forget Maddy's engagement party the day after tomorrow. She asked me to remind you,"

"I promised her, so I'll definitely be there,"

Refining the Dragonspine was a top priority, but attending an event in Yartford wouldn't be a problem, either. If he went late at 4:00 am, began the training, and returned the next day, nothing would be delayed,

After going to the restroom, Felix came back to find Jack suddenly pulling Vanessa to her feet.

"Sorry, Felix. We've got to go. Something came up."

Felix was puzzled. "Do you need my help?"

They had planned to have drinks, so them leaving abruptly made Felix concerned.

"There's nothing you can do. We're leaving!"

Vanessa looked helpless and, with her straightforward nature, blurted out, "Don't worry, Felix. This guy is just impatient. While you were in the restroom, I mentioned I bought a few pairs of black stockings this afternoon, and now, he can't wait any longer." What? Felix was stunned.

Jack looked embarrassed as he hurried out with Vanessa. He wasn't joking. There was no delaying a moment when his girlfriend wanted to wear seductive things.

Looking at the three opened beer bottles in front of him, Felix stayed for a while longer and was about to leave when suddenly, a dozen or so people stormed in. They were carrying weapons and looked like some underground thugs. Their target, was unmistakably Felix, as they quickly surrounded him.

"Do you need something?"

A figure emerged from the crowd. It was Dylan, looking smug.

"Have you figured out what's happening? You thought you were pretty tough this afternoon, huh? Try kicking me again if you dare."

Despite being in an unfamiliar city, Dylan's family connections allowed him to call for help

with just a phone call. If it weren't for Wendy potentially holding him back, he would have come to Canraville with bodyguards and never taken that hit.

"I don't want to argue with you. Get lost."

Since losing his martial skills, Felix had started to adopt a more relaxed attitude in many situations.

"You dare tell me to get lost? Beat him up!" Dylan ordered.

Just as the group moved in, a bottle shattered on the floor, and three men stepped forward to stand beside Felix's table.

"Is someone like you going to mess with Felix, who's respected by even Mr. Luis?"

The leader quickly whispered into Dylan's ear, "Dylan, they're under Mr. Luis, a boss of the underground group. What should we do?"

Hearing this, Dylan realized he was outmatched and clenched his teeth in frustration. "Looks like I underestimated you. But you can only win in Canraville. I'll show you my power soon enough, and you'll beg on your knees!" Just as Dylan was leaving the bar, he got a call from his father, ordering him to return to Yartford immediately.

"Dad, can I come back tomorrow night? I'm still..."

"Shut up!"

The call ended abruptly. Dylan cast a final glance at Felix, who was calmly drinking his beer in the bar. His eyes gleamed with a cold light.

Damn it! He'd let Felix live a few more days, but he'd make sure to come for the latter personally. Just wait.

Coincidentally, Felix's phone rang, too. It was Alistair, and his words took Felix by surprise. "Mr. Zeller, Sonny is willing to talk, but he has one condition-you must be present."
