Miss Garsia, the Cat Is Out of the Bag

Juwan froze. He pointed at Cassie beside him and asked, “Is she your goddaughter?”

Cassie and Javen did not react in time.

Wasn’t this person the old man selling herbs just now?

He turned out to be Ryan Callow, the boss behind the black market. This was too absurd, wasn’t it?

Furthermore, she didn’t even know when she had become his goddaughter.

However, Ryan obviously did not give Cassie a chance to react. Ryan glared at Juwan and said firmly, “Yes. Can’t I have my own goddaughter?”

Juwan smiled and said apologetically, “Of course not.”

Ryan was in a high position, powerful, and had a lot of people. Of course, he couldn’t confront him head-on. He could only soften his attitude and sue for peace.

At this moment, he knew that he should stop and then leave.

“Then tell me, what debt does my goddaughter owe you? I saw Mr. Smith seemed to be ready to rob hers just now. According to the black market rules, business is the same as usual. Isn’t Mr. Smith going too far?”

The staff of the entire black market had to show him some respect. How dared Juwan cause trouble in his territory!

Juwan knew that he had been tricked this time. He gritted his teeth and apologized to Cassie, “Miss Garsia, I’m sorry. I offended you just now. Please forgive me.”

After that, Juwan was ready to leave with his men, but he was stopped by Ryan’s men.

“Don’t leave in a hurry. Make it clear. If my goddaughter did something wrong, I apologize to you on her behalf.”

Ryan was clearly unwilling to easily let him go. He glanced at Cassie beside him and asked with a smile, “Tell me, what is going on?”

Seeing Ryan’s firm attitude, Cassie suddenly understood.

He intended to let her vent her anger.

“He voluntarily gave up bidding when bidding but now he’s coming to grab it again. Maybe he doesn’t have so much money, so he had to grab mine.”

Cassie answered honestly and did not talk nonsense.

On the other side, Juwan’s face turned gloomy with anger. When Ryan suddenly came over, he was instantly surrounded by a crowd of people. After hearing Cassie’s words, everyone knew that he did not have money to bid, so he came over to grab it.

Ryan listened to his lie and sneered, “Mr. Smith, is it as Cassie said?”

Juwan couldn’t speak. Now that things had developed to this point, he didn’t know how to explain.

He didn’t expect Cassie to have such a powerful backer. Damn it!

But now, he could only explain softly and pretend to be innocent and gentle. “I just… really need this Gingko, so I want to talk with Miss Garsia about buying it. I really don’t have that much money…”

Juwan knew that his explanation was extremely terrible, but he still had to find an excuse for himself.

After saying that, his gaze fell on Javen as if he had found a savior. “This is my elder brother, how could I have a conflict with my brother? I really just wanted to talk this with Miss Garsia and have no intention of fighting over it.”Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Javen noticed that his name had suddenly been called out and didn’t pay attention to Juwan’s request for help. Instead, he said indifferently, “I know that you’ve already severed your relationship with the Smith family. Stop mentioning the Smith family for your own benefit.”

Juwan’s face froze. He didn’t expect that Javen would refute him directly.

There were also celebrities from San Francisco next to him. When they heard these words, they also echoed, “Indeed, last month, Juwan voluntarily announced that he wanted to break off all ties with the Smith family. Javen’s father was so angry at that time that he is still in the hospital.”

Juwan was suddenly pushed into the teeth of the storm.

The people around him pointed at him and looked at him with contempt. Javen and Cassie stood by the side and silently watched him be ridiculed.

He felt very humiliated. However, he had no choice but to straighten his back, even though he was being cursed at by everyone around him.

He shifted his hatred towards everyone onto Javen.

Cassie did not want Juwan to be driven to desperation. She smiled at Ryan and said, “Why don’t we just forget about it? After all, we were still friends before, so let’s not make a big fuss.”

Ryan nodded in agreement. “My goddaughter is considerate and gentle. Well, then let Mr. Smith go.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ryan seemed to have thought of something and continued, “Also, in the future, please don’t take a step into my black market.”

These words made Juwan, who was already gloomy, clench his fists tightly.

Javen, Cassie…

They were going to see it!

Juwan left in embarrassment. When the people around saw that there was nothing else to watch, they also dispersed.

Ryan looked at Cassie with a smile. “Fortunately, I came in time. Otherwise, you would have been in trouble.”

Cassie smiled and said, “Thank you for saving us, Mr. Old Callow.”

Ryan listened to this title and felt unhappy inexplicably. “I said that you are my goddaughter, so you are the person protected by me. From today on, you can really be my goddaughter.”

Cassie bit her lip and said with some embarrassment, “That’s not good…”

“Why not? Since you can’t be my daughter-in-law, you can be my nominal daughter. I really like you, who are capable and excellent. I really should let my good-for-nothing son see and learn from you!”

Cassie couldn’t help but laugh when she heard Ryan’s words. The boss of the black market was just an ordinary father, his appearance of nagging was very similar to her father.

Thinking of her father, Cassie could not help but look away. She was more determined to find her mother.

Javen seemed to know what she was thinking. He touched her hair and said, “Since Mr. Old Callow said so, just agree.”

“Got it, Godfather.”

Cassie tentatively called out this title. After hearing it, Ryan immediately grinned happily.

“That’s great. If you need anything, I’ll give you all for free. There’s everything here. If you want it, I’ll save it for you in advance.”

Such domineering and doting words obviously moved Cassie.

“Thank you, Godfather.”

However, it was really surprising that she suddenly had another trump card.

“Next time I have a chance, I’ll take you to see my son. I still have something to do, so I’ll take my leave first.”

After Ryan left, Cassie and Javen also left the black market because they had something urgent to do.

The moment she walked out, Cassie clearly felt that Javen, who was beside her, wasn’t quite normal.

His footsteps were weak and his face was abnormally ruddy.

“Javen, what’s wrong?”

Cassie held his arm and felt his forehead with her right hand, which was burning hot.

“Javen, you have a fever!”

As soon as Cassie finished speaking, Javen, who had just swayed, suddenly fainted.
