Chapter 868
Anton smiled gently and said, “Mr. Dunlap, why get so angry? When it comes to girls, it’s better to be gentle.”
“Ah!” Johnathan mocked, “You, Anton, are the dream of thousands of girls—handsome and charming, gentle as jade, and with a mouth as sweet as honey. When it comes to coaxing women, we naturally can’t compare to you. Wow, this weird tone of voice is getting on my nerves. Johnathan also learned how to be two-faced; could it be that he learned it from Reynaldo? Alas, instead of learning the good things, I ended up learning the bad things with Reynaldo.”
I was silently criticizing myself in my heart when Reynaldo suddenly spoke slowly. “They were all stuck at the door; how are the others supposed to come in?”
Besides Reynaldo, a few other small investors also showed up. They echoed, “Yes, yes, since everyone is here, let’s take a seat quickly.”
Johnathan hummed and walked past Vonnie, brushing her shoulder, and sat down next to Reynaldo. Vonnie was furious and gave him a fierce glare.
I shook her hand and pulled her to sit on the other side. Anton sat down next to me.
Reynaldo glanced lightly at my forehead and chuckled, “What? Do you think I did a terrible job bandaging you last night, so I brought a flower specially for you today?”
Anton poured a cup of tea. He looked at me with a complex look in his eyes but didn’t say anything. He just handed me one of the two cups of tea he had poured and handed the other cup to Vonnie.
Johnathan across from me suddenly chuckled and said, “Since Mr. Palmer has poured the tea, why not pour it for everyone and give each of us a cup.”
Anton set down the teapot, leaned back in his chair, and casually said to Johnathan, “I only pour tea for pretty girls. If Mr. Dunlap wants to drink my tea, then he should change his appearance. With Mr. Dunlap’s looks, a change in appearance would definitely turn him into a beauty.”
Johnathan slammed the table in anger and exclaimed, “If anyone should undergo a sex change, it should be you. You’re a big man, even prettier than a woman. It would be a waste not to undergo a sex change.”
Anton was not angry either, just smiled gently and said, “Mr. Dunlap, can I understand that you are praising me for being good-looking?”
“Damn, how thick-skinned are you?” Johnathan stared at him in astonishment. “No wonder you enjoy stealing other people’s wives; you have no shame!”
When Johnathan blurted out the swear word, the atmosphere in the private room immediately froze. No matter how well Anton maintained his composure, his face still darkened. The other few small investors buried their heads and didn’t dare to say a word.
Reynaldo gave Johnathan a tug and said slowly, “We are here to discuss serious matters; why are you suddenly acting so strange?”
“I just didn’t like him, acting like a little white face,” Johnathan sneered at Anton.
Anton sneered, “If you don’t like it, then leave. With Mr. Humphrey here, you’re just unnecessary.”
“You…”
“You shut up! What are you arguing about? When Mr. Russell arrives later, won’t it be embarrassing if he sees this!” Johnathan was about to get angry when Vonnie suddenly yelled at him out of the blue, leaving him completely stunned.
When he realized what was happening, he slammed the table and was about to argue with Vonnie. Reynaldo suddenly gave him a glance and said, “Watch your image!”
