The Strongest Man in the Universe

Chapter 112

Celia feels worse when Mindy looks pretentious and counsels her. She would rather if Mindy scolded her like she did at first. She also knew how hard it was for her mother all along to let their family live a good life.

But he could not forget David. It had been three years, and they had never met since, but he still could not forget it. She still remembers the profile of David's face when he saved her. Feelings are not something we can control.

Doesn't he have people who pursue him at university?

He's owning. Even many. There are so many of them who like it. Top universities like Greenwood University gather elites and talents from all over the country and even the world. There are also people who are much better than Joshua. But he had no feelings for them.

When Celia found out David was coming to the Capital in the morning, her heart beat faster, and her blood flowed faster.

"Mother! I know how hard you've been working for so many years! I also know you want the best for me! But I really cannot forget David!” Celia cried as she hugged Mindy.

"It's okay. Thats okay! Let's go meet David first!” Mindy comforted as she patted Celia on the back.

It seems he can only start with David. The best solution was to let David know the difference between them and make him retreat by himself.

Jon looked helpless. His wife is competitive and likes to compete with others. He is jealous of his best friend and classmate who drives a luxury car and lives in a mansion, so he insists on doing business.

In the end, he even blamed her. His salary was not high, but it was enough for his family to live a comfortable life in the Capital, and there was plenty of room for improvement. Why was he talking as if it was not enough to put food into their mouths?

Although he did not offer substantial assistance for his work, his business would not have gone so easily had he not had his current position.

'Does he think money is falling from the sky? Huhh!'

However, these years were indeed a bit difficult for him. Despite his pride, his father and daughter also benefited. In reality, he really could not afford luxury cars and mansions with his current salary.

The mother and son hugged for a long time.

Seeing Celia had calmed down, Mindy asked, “Celia, what is David doing now?”

"He attended South River University in South River Province!” answer Cellia.

"South River University is not bad either. At least it's one of the top ten universities in the country! How often do you meet each other when you are so far away?” ask Mindy again.

Celia thought she couldn't tell the truth now. If her parents find out that she hasn't even started dating David, she'll never get a chance. Because her parents thought she and David had lived together, so be it. What has been done cannot be undone. He forced them to agree in this way.

"No sure! Sometimes David takes the time to come to the Capital during the holidays, and I will accompany him for a few days!” whispered Celia.

He was not used to lying to his parents!

“So you guys met every holiday during college?”

“Ya!”

"So you didn't come back with your father during your senior year because of David too?”

Celia gritted her teeth and replied, “Ya!”

“You...” Mindy was so angry that she was speechless.

“‘When do you plan to meet again?”

“David says he will come to the Capital in a few days!”

“OK! Invite him to our house while he's here. We can meet him and thank him!”

Mindy stressed the word “thank you”.

"He said he had something to do in the Capital! What should a student like him do? Isn't that just an excuse to meet you? Invite him, you hear me?”

“OK, I understand!”

"All right, we're done with you. Up and rest!”

"Okay, good night, Mom and Dad!” Celia went upstairs.

He must figure out a way to get David to come to his house and deal with his parents. Jon and his wife are soon left alone in the living room.

"Jon, what are we going to do about this?” Mindy asked with a stifled rage.

“‘How can I not be angry? Celia used to be very obedient. He never spoke back to me, and now he's talking back to me for a courier. Piano lessons, chess, painting, singing, dancing, and the social etiquette I gave her, now it's all for naught!” Mindy's angry.

“‘How can they be in vain? Isn't she okay?” ask Jon.

“‘How are they not in vain? If Celia marries David, she will live in a tiny house and won't even be able to afford a maid. She had to shop for groceries, cook, wash clothes, clean, and take care of the children. Aren't all skills learned in vain? She'll be a middle-aged woman with a haggard face in a few years. Why did this girl disappoint us? Why doesn't he understand my good intentions?”

“You'll be here for him, won't you? You make so much money. Why don't you help them a little?"

"You....Jon, do you want them together?”

“You just said it yourself! Why are you blaming me again?” asked Jon plain.

“I....If Celia is married to David, I'd rather donate all my money than give them a penny. Let them suffer! Let them live the life they choose!” Mindy's angry.

“Do you want to see your daughter suffer? Do you want her to shop for groceries, cook, wash clothes, clean up, and look after the kids, and then let a beautiful young girl look older than you a few years later?”

“...... ” Mindy almost exploded from anger.

“Good! We might be able to turn this around. Think about it. How old was Celia then? He fell in the middle of the road with the truck heading towards him. David happens to save her when she is desperate. He must have thought a lot about David. They are also classmates. It would be weird if they didn't fall for each other when they spent every day together."

"Then what should we do? We can't let him continue like this. It would be a waste if such a brilliant daughter married a poor boy like David. We have to find a way to separate them.”

“Let's meet David first! Start with David and see if we can get him to step down. If that doesn't work, we'll minimize their chances of meeting. During the holidays, set aside your work for a while and take our daughter for a walk. Their feelings for each other would slowly fade after they had not met for a long time. When she enters society after graduation and meets a more extraordinary man, she will realize that she only wants to avenge David for saving her life and that is not love!”

Mindy thought about it for a moment before saying, “OK, let's do that!”.

Springfield

David was about to head to where he met the owner of the office building. However, they say David has to go alone. David will take Pearl with him because they know each other. Acquaintances make everything easier. However, they had made this particular request.

‘Good! I'll go alone then.'

When they arrived at the designated place, David explained his purpose and went to the private room that the maid had brought. After entering the private room, the waiter asked him to wait and leave. David was waiting alone in the private room. Not long after, the door of the private room opened. David looks up but freezes it is Pearl's classmate and best friend Rhonda.

Rhonda wore a black women's business suit with a deep v neckline, a short skirt, and black silk stockings to show off her figure. David considers himself a man of high self-control, but he cannot resist looking any longer. Rhonda came in and sat across from David, looking at him without speaking.

“Nona Rogers, I didn't expect to see you!” david said, somewhat surprised.

"What's the problem? Are you so surprised, Mr Lidell?” Rhonda replied with a smile.

“Quite surprised indeed! I don't think Miss Pearl knows who you are, do I? Or you won't ask me to come alone!”

"Pearly doesn't know, but that doesn't mean I don't want to tell her. It's just that I don't want him to think too much about it. I don't want to lose him as a friend."

"Of course it doesn't matter?”

"Pearly may not look okay, but she has a lot of pride, so I did this as a precaution."

"Good! Since you don't want Miss Pearl to know, I won't tell her. But we're not going to talk about it today. I'm especially interested in buying your office building. Do you want to sell it?” ask David.

"You need to answer my question first!” Rhonda.

"What questions?”

“Tell me how you made Clinton help you destroy the Daniels. I'm curious!”

David eventually bought the building for fifteen billion dollars. David didn't think much about the price. It was mainly because he had so much money that he did not care whether he made or lost money in the deal. Fancy points were what he really needed.

But according to the assessment of the Pearl team, even spending 18 billion dollars to buy the building would not go to waste. It makes David confused, 'Why did Rhonda as a businessman give him a massive discount?

Why didn't he ask for 20 billion dollars just so I could get another 50 luxury points?'

Rhonda would be furious if she knew what David was thinking. He gave her so much discount, yet David was ungrateful. He had never seen such a person who found it difficult to have so much money to spend.

Rhonda doesn't seem to be here to do business with him today. She either explicitly or implicitly asked about her background and relationship with Clinton. On the other hand, David simply told him that he was one of the core members of the SCC and ignored the rest.
