Chapter 1687 Ready For Tonight
“Somebody’s jealous. Maybe you should find yourself a girlfriend, Juan,” suggested Maya.
“He can’t,” Davin chimed in on his way out of the kitchen.
Juan turned to scowl at his uncle. “No, that’s not true. I just don’t want one yet. Women are nothing but trouble.”
“Trouble? A woman can keep you company, give you children, and romance with you for the rest of your life, just like what your mom is doing with your dad. Don’t tell me you’re not envious of that.”
In response, Juan sneered derisively at Davin. “You used to call women trouble too, remember, Uncle Davin? What happened? Has Aunt Sheila been giving you a lot of space recently?”
“Of course. She knows I’ve been busy trying to make more money for the both of us.”
“I guess that’s the only reason she would allow you to stay outside overnight. Otherwise, she’d make you never hear the end of it.”
“What do you know, boy? That’s only because Sheep loves me dearly. That’s right. She loves me to the moon and back.”
Annoyed, Juan rolled his eyes at his insufferable uncle.
“How much did you make last night, Uncle Davin? Do you make more than ten million a month?” questioned Kyle.
“That’s a rookie number. I’m aiming for twenty million! A group of my friends will be supporting me tonight. You two should ask your friends to come over too. It’s going to be big! Hey, you might just get something in return if you show your uncle some love.”
“Sure. But now I have to get to the office.” After bidding farewell, Kyle quickly took off.
Meanwhile, in his head, Juan came up with a list of friends who he knew would be down for a party before turning to look confidently at Davin. “I know just the right people to bring over, Uncle Davin. You can bet that you’ll make good money tonight. Consider that my show of support.”
“I knew there was a reason why you’re always my favorite, Juan, even when you were just a little man. And now you’ve finally showed me that I was right to pick you as my favorite. I’m touched!”
“Hold your tears of joy, Uncle Davin. You can thank me when you get your money tonight.”
“That’s my boy! It’s time to show me what you can do!”
Seeing how excited the two were, Maya wanted to join in on the fun too. “Uncle Davin, can I go?”
“You sure you want to go? I mean, there’s going to be a bunch of guys. Maybe you should ask Nina to go with you.”
“Okay!” Maya nodded excitedly.
After leaving Imperial Garden, Davin returned to the hideout, intending to catch some sleep. I have to get enough rest so that I can go all-in tonight. I’m going to be stinking rich!
However, the moment he entered the place, Davin bumped into someone.
Squinting his eyes, the man realized that it was Skyler. “Hey, watch where you’re going!”
“You were the one who bumped into me!” retorted Skyler.
“I wouldn’t have bumped into you if you weren’t in my way, now would I?”
“If that’s the way you want to play it, I could say you were in my way.”
Unsure how else to riposte, Davin ordered impatiently, “Just get out of my way! I don’t have time for you. I need sleep.”
After giving way, Skyler snickered at Davin. “You’re right about that. You should be well-rested and ready for tonight in case anything happens.”
“What the heck is that supposed to mean? If anything bad’s going to happen, it’s probably going to happen to you, not me. I’m not the one with a vengeful half-brother.”
“We’ll see about that,” Skyler scoffed before walking away.
Stunned, Davin could not help but wonder what Skyler was trying to imply.
