Chapter 31: Bluff or Truth
Chapter 31: Bluff or Truth
Fortunately, the food portions at the restaurant were considerably small, so Felicity was able to finish
everything.
However, at the thought of spending so much money to eat such a small amount of food, she felt a little
frustrated.
But to repay the debt of his kindness, anything was fine with her; she could endure it.
After finishing the meal, Felicity reluctantly paid the bill and the two left the restaurant.
Felicity looked at her watch. It was only a little after eight o'clock. It was still early.
She couldn't help but wonder if she could invite Jason to see a movie. Wasn't the purpose of meeting
today to have fun?
But on a second thought, watching a movie together seemed to be more of a thing that a couple would
do on a date.
Felicity suddenly blushed, thinking suggesting to watch a movie might not be the most appropriate
thing to do.
Jason happened to glance at her at that moment. Seeing her face flushed he asked, "What's the
matter? Are you feeling uncomfortable? "
"No, I’m fine. Maybe the wine was a bit stronger than I anticipated."
Felicity made up an excuse quickly, thinking about the wine.
"Oh, do you want me to buy you something to help you sober up?"
Jason suggested. After all, it was not safe for a girl to be drunk on wine at night.
"It's ok… So, you are now transferred to a branch office. How’s that going? New place and all that…
Must be hard to work like that? "
Felicity quickly changed the topic and asked about Jason's transfer at work.
Jason was slightly surprised to hear that. Branch office? From NôvelDrama.Org.
Why was he suddenly transferred to the branch office?
Fortunately, he responded quickly, thinking that it must be something that George had come up with for
a cover, "Oh that… it's OK. I felt a little unfamiliar in the beginning, but I'm capable of doing my job and
very efficient at it."
"You’re such a show-off!"
Felicity felt speechless at him; however, seeing him talk about it so naturally she was no longer
suspicious.
It did seem like Jason had been transferred, but how came no one in the company mentioned it?
Plus, even his colleagues in the same department didn't know him. It was really strange…
But since Jason and George said the same thing, Felicity did not speculate about it anymore.
"It's still early. Would you like to go to see a movie? You invited me for dinner, how about I invite you to
a movie, and we become even?"
Jason offered.
Felicity paused for a moment. How did he think of this suddenly?
Although, there was a recent movie that she wanted to see. After thinking about it for two seconds,
Felicity agreed.
Just as they were about to walk, a Mercedes Benz stopped suddenly in front of them, making a
screeching brake sound.
Then, Vincent Rhodes and his three serious looking bodyguards came up to Jason and Felicity,
blocking their way.
Jason stepped forward, subconsciously hiding Felicity a little behind him to protect her.
Seeing this, Vincent glanced at them coldly and said, "Hah! Look at you two, being so deeply in love..."
"What are you doing here?"
Felicity was surprised. How did Vincent suddenly appear here?
"What do you think? You, slutty bitch! Because of you my family was humiliated but you have the guts
to walk around so happily! "
He wanted them to know that once provoked, he makes sure to get his revenge.
Then he looked at Jason, his eyes malicious, and said, "And you pretty boy, you think you can live after
ruining my family’s reputation? I don’t think so!"
After that, Vincent waved his hand and the three bodyguards approached them threateningly.
Felicity was a little flustered. There were no people around. She really didn't know how low Vincent
could fall.
Besides her Jason was standing there without any sign of anger or self-defense; his eyes were clear
and light.
So, Felicity couldn’t just rely on him. She couldn’t just let Jason get hurt.
Before the situation could unfold any further, Felicity suddenly stepped forward and pushed one of the
bodyguards. She picked up her purse like a weapon, ready to use it, and shouted at Jason, "Run!
Quick!"
Then, Felicity began to swing her purse punching the bodyguards with it.
However, she was just a tiny girl after all, and her strength was weak. She was soon subdued by the
bodyguards.
Jason stood there, being stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that this little idiot could be so bold
and righteous.
Of course, Jason didn't run away. Felicity, seeing him stand there stunned, thought they were both
doomed now.
She blamed herself for being too weak and small so that she couldn’t even buy time for him to leave.
Now, he was stuck in this dangerous situation because of her.
Vincent approached Jason with a mocking look in his eyes and said sarcastically, "What? Now you
need a weak woman to protect you? What kind of a man are you?”
He whistled to his bodyguards, motioning them to come forward and ordered "Take him in!"
"I dare you to try.”
Jason spoke in a very cold and powerful voice. It wasn’t loud but his voice seemed to have ice blades
that cut through the air and stabbed the people in front of him; it was full of awe.
Vincent was stunned and for a moment, his heart trembled in fear.
While he stood there confused in fear, Jason added coldly, "Vincent Rhodes, Liam Frederick is a good
friend of mine. You can never touch me, so I advise you to back off now. You really should be aware of
your identity before provoking someone! "
If Jason had decided to directly reveal his identity, Vincent would have been scared to death on the
spot.
However, Jason thought that since he had been hiding his identity in front of Felicity for such a long
time, it would be boring to just reveal the truth and say who he really was.
Hearing Liam Frederick’s name, Vincent was surprised.
Liam Frederick was a well-known rich man who came from a wealthy family in the city. No one dared to
cross him.
The Frederick family was also huge with assets amounting to over 10 billion. Considering Liam
Frederick's character, as known to be violent and ruthless, those who offended him met very bad
endings.
Vincent knew that he couldn’t ever afford to provoke Liam Frederick.
However, there was a chance that Jason was bluffing and just using the name. Oh! If that was the case
then Jason would be too shameless!
So, Vincent decided to test him. He looked at Jason coldly and said, "Haha, is that right? Okay, if you
really have the ability, call Liam Frederick here for me!”
Vincent didn’t dare to fight against Jason just in case he was right. So, instead he wanted to make sure
if Jason really had the power or not.
"Are you sure? He is just a phone call away."
Jason was very disdainful.
Vincent’s facial expression changed, turning white and then shadowy.
Just a phone call?
It wasn’t so easy to get in touch with Liam Frederick.
This man, he dared to speak about it so lightly; he must be lying.
"You call, I'll wait for him to come here!"
Vincent wanted to see what little tricks the little pretty boy had up his sleeves.
Felicity may have never heard of Jason Reed before she met him, but she knew the name Liam
Frederick.
Rumor had it that Liam Frederick once took One billion from his family. And to everyone’s
astonishment, he invested it, creating several powerful Internet companies worth a hundred Billion. He
was a very business minded rich man with a powerful family behind him.
Of course, His character was also rumored to be quite disturbing. It was said that he changed his
girlfriend more frequently than he changed his clothes. He even organized a beauty contest, and the
winner elected was to become his girlfriend.
