Chapter 17 Stunning

• Gus was a little bewildered at the sight as well. Even though he had been through many battles like this, when Serena had asked him to take Wilbur down, he wasn't told that the man had such skills. He only knew that Wilbur was tall and strong, and he was advised to bring a few more people with him.
• Gus removed his sunglasses with his right hand and produced a butterfly knife from his pocket, brandishing it in front of Wilbur.
• "Kid, you should beg for mercy while you still can. You don't want to know how far I can go."
• As soon as Gus finished talking, he didn't even have time to move before Wilbur dashed right up to him and wrestled the butterfly knife out of his hand.
• Then, it was Wilbur's turn to brandish the knife. His skills and performance were much better than Gus' just now.
• As such, Gus was so frightened that his entire body trembled. He said shakily, "Hey, let's talk it out. Don't hurt me by accident!"
• Wilbur's lips curved slightly into a sneer as he asked Gus, "Who hired you?"
• "Well, about that…"
• "I wonder how sharp this blade is. Shall I test it on your face?"
• Upon hearing Wilbur's words, Gus immediately gave in.
• "I-It's Trevor Mayhall. He told me to come and get rid of you."
• Wilbur nodded lightly, then retracted the butterfly knife and popped it into his own pocket. "I like the feel of this butterfly knife in my hands, so I'll hold on to it. Go back and tell Trevor that if he dares to play these tricks with me again, he'll have it coming. Now, get lost!"
• Upon hearing that, Gus hastily took his four underlings with him and left in a hurry.
• After getting home, Wilbur took a hot water bath and lay down to rest.
• He closed his eyes and kept thinking about the events that had happened today. First off, he indirectly got his revenge on Rachel, then he successfully made the deal with Catherine. At night, he had turned completely hostile toward Jane and her family.
• Even Rachel, who was a strong and proud woman, had asked to take revenge on him in the exact same manner. Wilbur felt that there had been a huge shift in everything around him. Before this, he wouldn't even dream of these events happening at all.
• That night, Wilbur woke up twice to use the bathroom, but he never saw Jane's high heels. In other words, she never returned throughout that night.
• If she wasn't staying over at her parents' place, she had probably gone to see Jackson.
• Wilbur knew very well that his relationship with Jane was already nearing its end.
• At 9.30AM the next day, Wilbur went to Catherine's cultural company with a contract in hand.
• When he walked into Catherine's office, Wilbur smiled at Catherine and walked over to her. "Good morning, Miss Lyon!"
• "Come and have a seat." Catherine smiled as she raised a hand at Wilbur.
• Wilbur sat down and passed the contract to Catherine. "Miss Lyon, have a look at the contract."
• After Catherine took the contract, she didn't even read it before signing her name.
• "Even though this is only our second time meeting, I believe in my own judgment."
• Wilbur received the contract, then smiled and nodded at Catherine. "Thank you for your trust!"
• "By the way, do you have time at noon? We can have lunch together."
• Usually, Wilbur was not supposed to decline under these circumstances.
• However, Rachel had also asked to meet him at noon. If he didn't meet her, he didn't know what ideas the woman would come up with to get revenge on him.
• Wilbur smiled sheepishly as he replied, "I'm sorry, Catherine, but I have to discuss something with a friend at noon. What about tonight? You can bring Marcus with you, and you can decide where to eat. My treat."
• "Sure, I'll see you tonight."
• Wilbur engaged in a little chat with Catherine before he took the contract and left.
• There was quite a distance between Catherine's company and Neptune, so Wilbur rushed all the way there in case Rachel waited too long.
• At 11.30AM, Wilbur was panting heavily as he arrived at Rachel's office. He lightly knocked on the door twice and entered.
• When he closed the door behind him and looked up at Rachel, he was dumbfounded. In fact, his eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets.
• Rachel was wearing a short black skirt today, and she paired it with a pair of red high heels. She wore purple crystal swan earrings, and her long hair fell upon her shoulders as she leaned against the office desk. She looked so beautiful that no one could possibly resist her.
• "Miss Sadler, you…"
• Before Wilbur could finish speaking, Rachel actually turned around on her own accord and placed her hands on the office desk.
• "I'm hungry already. Let's not waste time here!"
