Chapter 17
Jessica couldn't believe her eyes; she was short of words. She wonders what Damien was doing here.
She still doesn't understand what happened at the hospital earlier; she was too scared to remember clearly what truly happened, she had to run for her life.
Jessica pointed at Damien in disbelief.
“Why are you following me around?”
She scrunched up her face in anger.
“I can see somebody sent you to keep an eye on me.”
Lori was surprised Jessica was talking with the bastard.
“You know this fool.”
Jessica's face was deadly, and she pointed her finger at Damien.
“You mean this bastard? He's the scumbag I told you about earlier.”
Lori's jaw tightened. Jessica had told Lori what happened to her and Laura at the hospital; she was surprised Laura took the beating instead of this thief. Now the same person is here again.
Lori's face flushed; she was angry. Laura wasn't here because of this bastard.
“I can see you have decided to die; you went to steal at the hospital, and now you have come here to eat free food. You won't get away with this, just like you did at the hospital.”
Jessica looked at Damien, disgusted.
“This time you can't deceive Jordan like the way you deceived that useless director at the hospital.”
Jessica was fully convinced the director misunderstood the situation; she believes the director smacked Laura because of the VIP, luxurious pass card Damien was holding.
Damien didn't say anything; he continued eating his meal, which made both Jessica and Lori's faces turn red.
Jordan had already thought of what to do with Damien; he knew it would make Lori and Jessica happy.
Damien finished his meal, and he decided to order the same set of meals again as takeaway.
“I want you to package the same set of meals I just had. I will be taking that home.”
Damien pointed at Andrew.
Lori's eyes widen; she can't believe this bastard wants more food.
“You haven't paid for the meal you just had; how dare you add to it? Does this sound like a joke to you?”
Jessica couldn't stand Damien anymore. She knows Damien can't afford all this food, and she couldn't wait to see him beg for mercy. She quickly walked closer to Jordan and whispered some words in his ears.
“I think you should give him whatever he ordered, so his debts would increase. You and I know he can't pay, so his punishment will only increase.”
Jordan had already thought of that; he ordered Andrew to take Damien's orders.
Andrew couldn't help but remind Damien about the restaurant policy.
“You know food that has been packaged can't be returned.”
Damien yelled at him.
“Go get me the meal I ordered! Is this how you people operate?”
Andrew's forehead folds; he will personally slap Damien when the time comes.
The meal was delivered, and Andrew handed the total bill to Damien.
“Take your bill, which is $60,000 dollars.”
Jessica's eyes opened widely; she couldn't believe Damien would be this foolish; now it's time to laugh at him. Lori's cheeks moved; she was waiting to see Damien's next actions; she knows Jordan won't pity him one bit.
Jordan had already calculated how many years Damien would have to work for him to pay off his debts.
His intense eyes find Damien's eyes.
“I know what—”
Damien cut Jordan off.
“Why is it so cheap?”
Jessica and Lori gazed in disbelief; they knew Damien was trying to come up with something.
Lori uttered.
“You can't fool us, you piece of shit; you better start taking off your clothes and get to work.”
Jordan squeezed his fists; he decided to give Damien a good beating before he get to work.
“Bastard! I'm going to teach you a lesson you won't forget in a hurry.”
before he could order the security to hold Damien down.
Damien handed his normal card to Andrew, Damien transferred some money into his normal card. He doesn't want to use his premium Gold Card since it will draw a lot of attention, and he certainly doesn't want that.
Andrew quickly took the card and slotted it in the machine, while Jessica and Lori waited patiently to see if the payment went through.
They both frowned in astonishment when the payment was marked successful.
They couldn't believe Damien was able to pay such an amount. Jessica kept wondering how he managed to pull it off. She knows neither Megan nor her family will lend Damien money. Where did he get $60,000? He wasted it on food.
Damien collected his card form Andrew and the package meal with a full smile on his face.
Jessica couldn't stand Damien's attitude, so she quickly uttered
“That card of his must've been stolen.”
Maybe Damien took the bank card of the person he robbed.
Jessica murmured to herself.
Jordan quickly snapped out of his disappointment and ordered the security guard to stop Damien immediately. How can Damien, a lifeless pauper, afford a meal that costs $60,000? Jessica is definitely right, and he must help the government uphold justice.
He walked closer to Damien and used his fingers to hit his head.
“You think you're smart, but guess what? I'm smarter.”
Lori equally believed the card was stolen.
“There is no way an ordinary dish washer can afford a meal for $60,000.”
She murmured to herself.
Jordan kept on using his fingers to push Damien's head.
“I'm going to deal with you today, you bastard; you think you can make a fool of me.”
Damien didn't want to commit a rough scene here, but Jordan had bitten off more than he could chew.
How dare he use his fetid fingers to poke his head? He must really want to embrace death.
He handed his card to Andrew, along with his ID card.
“Take go confirm if the card is really mine or stolen.”
Andrew quickly collected both cards from Damien with a bright smile on his face. He knew Damien was just playing games, and he probably wanted to escape immediately he turned, so he signaled the security men to stand behind Damien.
‘Finally, I can deal with this bastard to my satisfaction.’
Jordan wanted to turn when Damien spoke.
“How about we make a bet? If I'm truly the owner of that card, what would be your punishment for this poor service you offered?”
Jordan looks at Damian in disbelief; he's fully convinced Damien stole the card; he's just trying to pull his legs and make him retreat.
“Bastard! You still have guts to speak. Name your punishment. I will fully agree; however, don't say I didn't warn you. I won't go easy on you if this card turns out to be stolen.”
Damien smiles; he knows Jordan is going to get a serious beating today.
“How about 50 strokes of whips?”
Jordan blinks rapidly; he can't believe Damien wants to die.
“I can see you clearly have a death wish; I'm going to grant you that wish.”
Jessica and Lori were full of joy; they couldn't wait to see Damien scream and beg for mercy.
Damien went back to his seat and sent Benjamin a message.
[I want to ask if it would be possible to buy the Golden Palace restaurant this minute.]
Benjamin responded to Damien's message immediately.
[Yes, young master, In fact the owner had been pleading with us to buy his restaurant; he wants to work at sky-high hotel; just consider it done already.]
[okay. I'm currently inside the restaurant; meet me quickly.]
[Okay, young master, I will be with you shortly.]
Andrew returned with a disappointed look on his face; somehow the card belonged to Damien. He came out and glanced at everybody's faces.
“The card is truly his.”
He steps over to Damien and drops the card on the table.
“How did you get the money?”
Damien crosses his legs and sits more comfortably. He brought his phone out and texted Benjamin his last message.
[Come along with a very good whip.]
