The Hero

Chapter 79 Celebrating Two Happy Events in One Night, Perhaps More…

"Sorry, I can't force myself to kick Matthew out of the company ..."

Jade's face was filled with shame as Javier drove her home.

Looking at her expression carefully, Javier chuckled and said, “It's okay, you're basically a good woman, so it's normal for you not to do that.”

Jade didn't know if he was really nice or stupid. Matthew had obviously done all sorts of things to her in the past, yet somehow Jade thought of her grandfather at that critical moment, about how Matthew was her only child, he said, and how his grandfather would probably be so sad if he found out that he had kicked. Matthew left the company.

“Because I'm the chairman, I think Matthew probably wouldn't dare to do anything stupid even if he wanted to, so..”.

Javier nodded his head. "Yes I understand. No problem."

However, while Javier comforts Jade, his acceptance of her explanation is another matter.

After all, once a snake, it remains a snake.Just because someone gives it warmth, does not mean he will thank and not bite.

However, Javier does not consider Jade's doubts to be a nuisance. Perhaps for a child, it would be a serious problem if the doll they played broke a leg. However, for adults, all it takes is to install a new screw or something as simple as that.

For Javier, Matthew is like a doll he can leave behind and fix if found broken at any time.

In fact, Matthew actually started coming up with even more stupid ideas back then.

Right after he left the company, he went looking for Neve and Zayn. The young man spewed out his anger when they met.

"Why did this happen?! My parents left 26% of their shares to Jade, and even Victor gave more of their shares to Jade. That fool!!! Now look what happened! Jade now holds a 64% stake overall and is now the largest shareholder, giving her the right to be chairman!

"But how could he or she qualify to be chairman? I am the only son of John Odell!”

Zayn only sneered when he saw how furious Matthew was as he attacked.

“Do you think you should be the chairman just because you're a boy? Don't you think that's a little silly?”

Zayn was actually very unhappy that Jade secretly took on the role of Victor and became chairman, but he was also impressed with Matthew, who managed to play well with him.

The ultimate winning chance for big failure.

In fact, Zayn mercilessly insulted Matthew for this ...

Meanwhile, Neve, who witnessed her own father being humiliated, could not stay silent and did nothing more. He gently shook Zayn's arm and said, "Please help my father, Zayn!"

"I Mr. Dunham for you! How can you call me by my name? ”

Neve initially thought she had a closer relationship with Zayn because the two had slept together several times. But to his surprise, all Zayn saw was a tool for him to vent his frustration when he felt it.

Although Neve is unhappy with her current situation, she can't do anything about it as Zayn is her family's only hope of return. Therefore, he had to lower the humiliation he felt and beg. “Please, Mr. Dunham. Can you help us?”

Zayn slapped Neve's hand that was stuck to his arm. “He's already the chairman, so there's nothing more I can do!”

Neve kept pleading, and even Matthew threw away his ego and said, “Please help us, Mr. Dunham!”

It was only after Matthew lowered his ego and begged Zayn to finally speak up.

"Good! Since you're all unhappy with what's happening, you all have one last option now. You all have to do this and that.”.

It's Jade's birthday the next day, but she doesn't want to throw a birthday party because she lost her grandfather. Moreover, he had just taken over Odello Corp., so there was a lot of work that he had to complete, no luxuries that he could waste time on.

So Jade finally decided to celebrate two happy occasions in one night—she became chairman and her birthday.

Javier doesn't mind his decision, so he and Jade don't come home for dinner that night and instead go out.

At dinner, he said, “Serious Javier, thank you very much. You've helped me all this time from when our investments failed, to quarterly deals, to Matthew forcing me to marry Dunham to stay in power, to when I became the female chairman. Tonight's dinner will be my tribute to you!”

Javier smiles. “Don't you think you're a little cheap by using this as a token of appreciation? How about...you qualify extra from our initial bet?”

Jade's face immediately flushed red in embarrassment as Javier brought up their old case. "You fool!"

After acting for a while, Jade hurriedly ate her food. The red hue on his face spread widely to his earlobes. In fact, her beautiful neck looked a little reddish…

After dinner, Javier and Jade take a leisurely stroll through the streets, which makes them look like a couple on a leisurely stroll. As they passed through the park next to the river, the two said nothing and entered together.

As they walked through the grassy field, the two of them chatted leisurely while walking aimlessly until they reached the river. There was a cruise ship decorated with colorful lights, which caused Jade, who was in a very good mood, to return to her childlike self for a while.

“How about we get on that ship, Javier? It's been a long time since I've been in it. ”

There are sailboats, animal-shaped rowboats, and even jet skis for rent on the river.

Not objecting to Jade's suggestion, Javier soon finds the owner of a place to rent a yacht, but Jade clearly prefers an animal-shaped rowboat.

“Sure, whatever you say, birthday girl. Also, you are the Chairman, so you have the last word!

Javier succumbs to Jade's wishes and the two of them board a rowboat and navigate the surface of the water.

They enjoy the breeze while listening to the laughter around them while enjoying the lively nightlife scene of the city. They both have their moments in life.

The only thing that seemed out of place was that there was a young couple on the jet-ski, driving at high speed while they were screaming with all their might.

Javier can understand their actions since they were young and hot-blooded who wanted to feel free.

However, what he did not understand was why the couple on the jet ski pushed him towards their rowboat! rowboats rely solely on manual labor to move and have very poor turning speeds, so they are clearly not as nimble as jet skis.

As the jet-ski gets closer to them, Javier finally realizes what is going on.

'They seem quite happy now, so what's with this sudden quarrel?'

Javier then turns his attention to them and turns to pedal as hard as he can, while Jade does the same. In fact, he even started wearing high heels to row better.

However, despite their best efforts, the jet-skis still darted past them with a thud.

The paddle boat started shaking violently due to the waves caused by the jet ski and almost capsized. Meanwhile, Jade followed the gesture and was about to jump into the water.

Fortunately, Javier was quick to respond and managed to grab his arm, dragging him hard back before he fell.

However, due to how hard he pulled her, she pulled Jade's entire body towards him, while her full red lips coincidentally landed on Javier's lips as well.

The two looked at each other and quickly regained consciousness after an accidental kiss.

Although the boat swayed very hard, the two of them seemed to not care as they could only see each other in their eyes…

After nearly ten seconds, Jade's face suddenly reddened and nearly released her kiss.

However, at the next moment, Javier's powerful arms encircled his slender waist, preventing him from letting go.

Javier's passionate hot lips go in for another kiss on Jade's sexy little lips again.

This time, Jade did not try to escape again. Instead, he closed his cold eyes as it relaxed.
