Chapter 347: Spying on the Kids
The manager was surprised. He'd assumed the three children were there for fun, but who would have guessed they'd request a handsome escort? Why a man, and not a woman? The children were clearly the sons of a powerful tycoon; he couldn't afford to offend them.
โAll right, Iโll arrange it immediately.โ
He'd initially planned to identify the children's family, but Jonathan, lowering his voice, threatened, โSir, you really don't want to know who my father is. He'd shut down your shop and take us away. You'd be left with nothing.โ
The manager was stunned. Upon reflection, the boy's logic held some weight.
โDonโt worry, this will remain confidential.โ After all, they weren't his sons.
The manager, prioritizing the children's well-being, ushered them into a luxurious private room. All alcoholic beverages were removed, replaced with sodas.
As they left, Zachary emerged from the elevator. He'd been drinking with friends the previous night and had just woken up, spotting Jonathan and his companions.
Returning to the manager, Zachary asked, โWhat were those three children doing here?โ
The manager hastily explained that Jonathan and his group had sought handsome men.
โHandsome men?โ Zachary was intrigued and decided to stay. โKeep a close watch on them. See what they want the handsome guy to do.โ
โYes, sir.โ
Inside the private room, Dante and Felix explored casually.
โJon, you seem knowledgeable. Do you come here often?โ Dante asked. Felix also watched Jonathan intently.
Jonathan, sitting on the sofa, felt uneasy. How could his mother bring him to such a place? He'd learned about it from television.
โOnce in a while, I guess.โ
The boys looked at him with admiration. Felix had never been there before, only hearing his parents argue about it. His father had told him he could come once he was a "man." Jonathan, it seemed, had become one. Felix's admiration grew.
The manager quickly sent in several handsome men. Jonathan planned to select someone handsome and well-mannered, needing only minor refinement. It was just for a wedding; it wouldn't take long.
The men were astonished to see the children.
โManager, are they our guests?โ they asked.
The manager was uncertain. The men were speechless, but Dante's words shocked them even more. โJon is here to choose a father.โ
Jonathan was speechless. He regretted bringing Dante. He rose, surveying the men before selecting one.
โYouโll do.โ He produced a paper detailing instructions on impersonating Vivian's boyfriend. "Memorize this. On Sunday, go to the Four Seasons." He pulled out a prepared invitation and handed it to the man. "Dress nicelyโthe more expensive, the better. Use my card. Payment depends on your performance."
The man, surprised by the opportunity, readily agreed. โAll right, I will definitely be a good father to you.โ
Jonathan's cold glance silenced him. After settling their affairs, the trio left the Elite Club. It was best for children like them to spend minimal time in such places. Unbeknownst to Jonathan, the manager immediately gave Zachary the paper and invitation.
