Chapter 10 I Don't Believe It Either
Of course, Tom would never admit that what he gave away was just a mere imitation.
It was a counterfeit Heart of Ocean that was only worth two thousand yuan.
“Admit it, isn't it all in vain now?”
Tom stood up abruptly and pointed at Johnson, saying, "I don't know what your relationship is with that useless George, but who are you to defend him like this? Do you have the audacity to question the jewelry I gave? Do you even know who I am?"
Johnson sneered, "Of course, I know you're just a second-generation heir who exploited George's family fortune. In other words, everything you own now rightfully belongs to Muyan. You stole her wealth, and now you're trying to deceive her with fake jewelry. You really have no shame."
Since she had chosen to be on George’s side and even called him “Dad”, she would naturally defend him.
Tom sneered, "You keep saying that you sold the Heart of the Ocean, so who did you sell it to?"
Johnson said, "Well..."
Just as she was about to say it was George, she suddenly remembered his warning, not to reveal his identity, so she had to forcibly keep her mouth shut.
"Why should I tell you?"
Tom's face turned fierce.
He slammed his hand on the table, causing the water in the glasses to jump, and looked at Florence, saying, "Ms. Shen, I don't know what relation this lady has with you, but she came here just to maliciously fabricate and defame me. Since that's the case, then let's assume I'm just being self-delusional. If Fonda group wants to deal with you all, then I'm powerless."
Johnson burst into laughter, "I can guarantee that Fonda group will never go after the Willow family..." but before finished speaking, Florence picked up her glass and "splash," poured all the red wine onto Johnson's face.
She shouted loudly, "Song, what sort of benefits did that useless George give you to come and ruin Muyan and Tom's beautiful marriage? Get out! Don't ever come near the Willow family again."
Then, she quickly turned to Tom and said, "Good son-in-law, calm down. This woman is crazy and doesn't even differentiate authentic jewelry from fake ones. She knows nothing about the thirty million worth of jewelry! The jewelry you bought is definitely genuine."
Johnson was drenched and in a sorry state.
She looked at Lily and suddenly started laughing.
"Muyan, if you really want to divorce George, you will regret it."
She shook her head and said.
Lily quickly stood up to apologize.
But Florence shouted, "Regret my ass! Are you jealous of our Muyan becoming the future Mrs. Harolds Group, while you still have no one?"
"Get lost, get lost, if you don't leave, I'll hit someone."
Johnson suddenly felt sorry for George.
To think there was such a foolish, money-hungry mother-in-law who would sell her own daughter. It's ridiculous that she used to mock George with her in the past.
It's just ridiculous.

"The Gourmet Junction.
Located in the prime downtown area of Riverdale, it occupies a vast area of three thousand square meters, making it the largest and most prestigious club in Riverdale, as the legend goes.
Normally, it's only open to the upper echelons of the Fonda group.
Anyone who can enter is either a prominent figure or well-connected.
As George hailed a cab on the road and mentioned The Gourmet Junction, the driver's expression noticeably changed, prompting him to wonder why George was heading there.
But he noticed that George appeared moody and ultimately didn't ask anything.
Throughout the journey, not a single word was spoken, and the driver even turned off the radio that was always tuned to his usual radio station.
George, clutching his wedding ring, was in a bad mood and had no spare attention to spare for the driver's expression.
"Tom, you're despicable and shameless. I will make you understand what it means to reap what you sow."
"I can crush you with a flick of my finger, thanks to Fonda Group."
"But that would be too boring! Let's play it nice and see what tricks you can come up with!"
"And Florence, I will make you realize that the Harold's chairman you so flatter and kowtow to is nothing more than a dog in my eyes!"
With this thought in mind, a decisive and contemptuous gaze filled George's eyes as he opened them once again.
Now, I have the power to do it.
Soon enough, they reached The Gourmet Junction.
George got out of the car, head held high, and walked towards the entrance...
"Halt!"
"The Gourmet Junction is off-limits to ordinary people!"
A stern and imposing voice pressed towards him.
George was slightly surprised and thought to himself that The Gourmet Junction was indeed extraordinary if even a mere gatekeeper had such presence.
Legend has it that within the Fonda group, there are many experts which comprises of mercenaries, retired soldier-kings, and martial arts masters.
Could the gatekeeper be one of them?
However, George was the true boss of the Fonda group.
No matter what kind of experts they are, they were all working for him.
He remained composed and calmly said, "I am not an ordinary person. I am here to see Marc!"
With these words, the gatekeeper grew furious, "How dare you! Who do you think you are, addressing Marc by name? Kneel down, apologize, and kowtow!"
Frowning, George replied, "I really am here to see Marc. He sent me. If you don't believe me, you can go inside and inform him. Just say my last name is Lin."
Just then, a young man in a suit walked over, strutting arrogantly, and whistling as he saw George being held back by the gatekeeper."
Standing at the door, he smiled and said, "Oh my, who is this? Isn't this Riverdale's most worthless freeloader king? The abandoned son of the Harold family who got himself a wife that he's not even allowed to touch."
George looked at him, completely clueless.
He responded coldly, "Who are you? What kind of person I am, it's not for you to judge, is it?"
"Oh my!" exclaimed the man, "A temper too! But how come I heard that your wife wants to divorce you and be with your cousin? Tsk tsk, your wife Lily, she's truly beautiful, even I'm envious. But a woman marrying two brothers, that's a first for me, so I'm really curious! It's such a bizarre news, I wonder if you're happy or unhappy after your wife slept with your cousin?"
George's gaze turned completely cold, "Tell me, who are you?"
The young man laughed loudly, "Hahaha, what, you think you can still retaliate against me? I'm so scared!"
Then, grinning from ear to ear, he said, "Listen up, I won't change my name or alter my behavior, Morrison Reeze! The other day, I was the one your wife offended at the reception! It was me who demanded that she accompany me for three days. How about it, are you angry? One's anger destroys one's beauty! Unfortunately, you pathetic freeloader king, you're not even worthy of polishing my shoes, forget it, I won't bother with you."
So, it turned out this person was Mr. Reeze.
He wasn't actually a big shot, just the nephew of a company's CEO under the Fonda group.
That's why Marc had no impression of him at all.
It took a while to find out about this person.
Then, he directly called him to come to The Gourmet Junction.
Ironically, this person thought that being summoned by Marc meant something good. When he arrived at the entrance of The Gourmet Junction, he mocked and taunted George.
George sneered, "So it's you! Have you prepared your last words?"
Morrison Reeze became enraged, "You dumbass, who the fuck do you think needs to leave their last words? Do you believe that with just one word, I can leave you without a complete corpse?"
George shook his head, "I don't believe it!"
This was The Gourmet Junction, his own backyard. He didn't believe that he couldn't take care of him.
Just then, another voice spoke up, "I don't believe it either!"
Morrison Reeze fumed, "Which dumbass doesn't believe it? Your fucking bald mom?"
He turned his head.
And then, he saw the person speaking.
Immediately, he was dumbfounded.
"Marc?"
