Chapter 1 The Meeting at the Wedding
Burton Sterling, the richest man in the Capital City, was getting married again. Countless media had flocked to the wedding to report on the new Mrs. Sterling. The wedding was held in the Sterling family’s villa in the urban area of the Capital City, and uninvited people couldn't go in. So, the reporters could only wait outside, hoping to get some news.
Rejoyla Lynn sitting in the villa tugged at the heavy diamond necklace around her neck and impatiently murmured, "Why hasn't the wedding started? He has gotten married many times. There is no need to hold such a grand wedding, right? "
Joana covered her mouth, carefully glanced across the people at the table next to them, and said in a faint voice, "Shut up. Can’t you see the Sterling family sitting next to us?"
Rejoyla rolled her eyes and said, "What are you afraid of? Jacquelyn is married to Burton Sterling. So, they must show respect to her."
She glanced at the man with white hair at the next table and added, "He will have to call her mother!"
When Joana followed Rejoyla's gaze and looked over, she happened to meet William's cold eyes, who was Burton’s eldest son. So, she shivered with fright and turned pale.
William casually looked away. Joana was a nobody, so he would not waste time on her. He turned to look at his younger brother and asked, "Frank, where's Jason? Why hasn't he come?"
Frank curled his lips and said, "Don't you know I cannot discipline that brat? He does not listen to me at all. When he was young, you all pampered him and did not allow to me beat him! Now, he has become lawless! He even has a love affair with a starlet."
"Dad, am I so unreliable in your eyes? I'm sad to hear you say so."
When Jason walked to the table, he happened to hear Frank's complaint, so he raised his eyebrows and smiled, lazily leaning on the petite woman beside him.
When Frank saw the woman, he instantly flew into a rage because she was the starlet he had just mentioned. He had not expected Jason to bring her to such an occasion, so he picked up a glass and threw it at him, saying, "You brat, how dare you bring her here!"
The roar and the sound of the glass breaking startled Rejoyla who was eating with her head down. When she looked up, she met the familiar long and narrow black eyes and felt the hostility in them become more intense than before. So, puff in her hand slipped off to the ground.
Jason had tilted his head to avoid his father’s attack. But after he turned his head, he met those sparkling clear eyes.
When their eyes met, Rejoyla felt as if a century had passed. But it was just a second. She soon nonchalantly withdrew her gaze and asked, "Joana, who is he?"
Jason was also surnamed Sterling. Was he a member of the Sterling family?
Joana blushed when shyly staring at Jason with unconscious affection in her eyes. Then, she replied, "He is Jason Sterling, Burton’s only grandson. He started a company without the support of the Sterling family. Now, his LJ Group has become one of the top ten groups in the world. He is not only a young successful businessman but also the lord of the underground in the Capital City. He is powerful in both circles. It is said that he once bravely broke into the black market for his beloved woman and wiped out the previous underworld lord’s force that had controlled the Capital City for 20 years alone."
Rejoyla automatically ignored all the compliments because she had caught an important point. So, she said, "If he is Burton’s grandson, he will be our nephew, right?"
Joana abruptly stopped complimenting Jason and looked away from him with difficulty. Yes, he was her nephew now!
Rejoyla smiled, looked at Jason who was still staring at her, slightly parted her red lips, and mouthed, "Nephew!"
Reading her lips, Jason suddenly narrowed his eyes. When his lazy aura changed, the atmosphere suddenly became cold. When Frank threw another glass over, it hit Jason’s head. And blood soon flowed down his cheek. Jason's eyes were scarlet red, making him look like a demon. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
The women of the Sterling family and Sherry beside him all trembled with fear, thinking Jason’s illness attacked again!
Frank had not expected the glass would hit him. His eldest brother and nieces were all staring at him in dissatisfaction. Seeing Jason unblinkingly standing upright with a hole in his head, Frank was also worried, hoping there was nothing wrong with him. Although Jason had a violent temper, a stupid son would be even worse!
Frank wanted to go forward to check on Jason, but Jason's aggressive and violent aura deterred him.
Jason walked toward Rejoyla step by step. When everyone followed his gaze and saw Jacquelyn’s two girls, their hearts skipped a beat.
Tanya plucked up her courage, tugged at her son's sleeve, and said, "Jason, this is your grandpa's wedding. Don’t make trouble today!"
She was implying he could do whatever he wanted tomorrow.
But Jason had never been an obedient son. He firmly walked to Rejoyla and then looked down at her in a daze.
