The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress

Chapter 760

Jonah stormed in, radiating hostility.

The Blacks froze, uncertain whether Jonah had come for them or for Wade.

Wade, pushed to his limits, let out a humorless laugh. He stalked up to Jonah, grabbed him by the collar, and spat, "Jonah, are you out of your mind? It's my buddy's birthday-what the hell are you doing here, trying to ruin it?"

He glared, voice sharp. "I'm telling you get out. Now."

Jonah scoffed. "Oh, so you tell me to leave and I just run along? Not a chance."

He dropped into the nearest chair, completely at ease, then looked right at the Blacks, making a show of it. He even shot Curry a wink. "Isn't that right, Curry?"

Curry clenched his fists, face twisting with anger.

At the same time, the Blacks exchanged a glance. Mrs. Black put on her brightest smile and stepped forward to chime in:
