Chapter 37 James‘ Crooked Mouth

William was quite satisfied. Now that Jason had become their family’s driver, it would be remarkably more convenient for Mia to go to school and for him to attend work trips. With that, he drove his Maybach to fetch Mia at school.

As soon as he was gone, Jason returned to the yard panting, only to see Jose’s entire body covered in trembling Qi and realized that he underwent a breakthrough. Not daring to speak a word, he silently waited at the side.

About half an hour later, Jose opened his eyes and flatly uttered, “The macrocosmic orbit has finally come full circle. What a challenge!”

Jason was delighted. “Congratulations, Master!” He then noted, “Master, William actually hired me as his driver!”

Jose’s face grew dark. “Why? Can’t you drive?”

Jason was taken aback. “I can.”

“Jason, you have to respect your boss as much as you respect your masters, understand?” Jose spoke with an expression harboring unprecedented sternness.

Jason was stunned. “Yes, Master, but”

“No buts. From now on, he is our boss. Jose clearly enunciated. “You may leave right away if you feel wronged, but that would mean you are no longer my disciple.”

Shocked, Jason hastily replied, “I apologize, Master. I shall heed your advice.”

It was only then that Jose was content. “Remember, Jason, Boss is an enigmatic man. As long as we serve him well, he will never mistreat us.”

Meanwhile, William arrived at Halivaara High in his Maybach. Although classes had yet to end, the school entrance was filled with cars waiting for students to finish their classes.

“Eh? Whose Maybach is that over there?”

In fact, Halivaara District was a rather small region, so there weren’t many people who could afford to drive a car that cost over 300 thousand. As there were only a few dozen of such cars in the area, it was inevitably conspicuous.

Then, he alighted from his car and waited at the entrance.

At that moment, James and his wife, who previously slandered Mia, appeared, seemingly in low spiritsespecially James. For some reason, he had suddenly gotten facial paralysis. And now, his manager was disdainful of him and his subordinates would make fun of him, making him immensely frustrated. He had looked for numerous prominent doctors, but his facial paralysis, instead of being treated, only worsened. This very morning, his superior summoned him for a chat and even advised him to resign.

As such, he felt the urge to cry. He was a vigorous, forty–five–year–old man who possessed a bright future, so there was no reason for him to resign just yet. Therefore, he refrained from giving his answer right away, but he was aware that his only choice was to resign if his facial paralysis couldn’t be cured.
