Chapter 1656: Chapter 1370: Do You Want to Try?
Jonas was wearing a black trench coat and his slightly worn leather shoes were polished to a shine, exuding a refined and scholarly air.
A woman with a serene expression was holding onto his arm, leaning on him naturally and intimately.
This woman should be Jonas’s wife. She was about the sa age as Jonas, yet still retained her charm, and her figure was remarkably well-maintained. Her curves would even make young won envious, clearly indicating that she must have been a beauty in her youth.
Her hands were beautiful, yet quite rough, a clear sign of having done a lot of hard work. This roughness seed at odds with the intangible aura she radiated.
All signs from her suggested that she was not from a poor family, but rather had been tempered by life.
Standing opposite Mr. and Mrs. Jonas was a man with a look of deep remorse on his face.
The man was dressed elegantly, with slicked-back hair, but his body was severely out of shape, giving him a pot-bellied and bloated appearance. His facial features were squeezed together due to his obesity, further exaggerating his expression.
When he looked at Mrs. Jonas, his face was full of remorse. When he looked at Jonas, he was filled with utter contempt.
His two sentences had already drawn the attention of those around.
“Brandon, have so respect! Anna is not soone you should address like that; you should call her Mrs. Jonas!” Jonas faced the man, showing signs of anger.
Mrs. Jonas, however, tightened her grip on her husband’s arm and, looking sternly at the man nad Brandon, said, “Additionally, Brandon, you have no right to discuss soone else’s marriage in public. It’s very impolite! Apologize to my husband to prove you’re still a gentleman!”
Brandon, being so admonished, looked a bit unpleasant. He coldly glanced at Jonas and then turned toward Mrs. Jonas with a pitying look, “Anna, look at yourself, you’re thinner, your hands have beco so rough, not like the lady you once were! Besides, we were childhood sweethearts, if it weren’t for this guy barging in, maybe we would’ve already…”
“Shut up!” Jonas interrupted him, clenching his fists and glaring angrily.
Mrs. Jonas’s face also showed a trace of anger. “Have so respect!”
Their voices rose, attracting even more curious glances, and so people moved in closer.
The onlookers’ eyes sparkled with interest as they watched the scene unfold.
Brandon raised his hands to make a calming gesture toward Mrs. Jonas and stopped speaking nonsense.
However, he glanced coldly at Jonas and mocked, “Jonas, you incompetent fool, who was jailed! Look at the life you’ve given Anna! She went through so much with you, and yet you shout and yell, do you deserve it?”
Jonas, provoked repeatedly, felt his anger mount and was about to step forward and retaliate.
At his age, he was no longer young. Prison life had left him with many injuries, and he was clearly no match against the plump Brandon.
But seeing his beloved wife being disrespected and himself insulted, he felt compelled to defend his dignity as a man at all costs.
Mrs. Jonas clutched her husband’s arm tightly. “Jonas, look at ! Don’t stoop to his level, look at !”
Jonas looked at Brandon, breathing heavily, then turned to his beloved wife, seeing her clear and captivating eyes.
“In my heart, you are the best!” Mrs. Jonas gazed at her husband, her eyes filled with deep love, “Don’t fight him, for !”
Jonas, cald by these words, held his wife’s hand in silence.
After decades of weathering storms and sharing life’s ups and downs, his love for his wife helped him overco his anger.
“Now, we should go watch Mr. Yegor’s concert. Mr. Brandon, please step aside!” Mrs. Jonas said loudly, addressing Brandon.
Brandon’s face broke into a smile, “Anna, I’m the manager of Dorado Theater! I can get you the best seats, as many shows as you want to see. You must know, the seats up front are reserved, and the ones you’ve bought are just at the back.”
Saying this, Brandon looked Jonas up and down with a sneer, “The once high and mighty Vice President Jonas, even with your innocence proven and all that money you’ve now got, still, you’re in this plight. Can’t even find a job, right? Our status has completely reversed; I fear you’ll never rise again, never surpass !”
Brandon was pouring out his long-standing insecurities towards Jonas, putting on an air of superiority.
“Let’s go!” Mrs. Jonas pulled her husband.
This ti, Jonas complied and stepped forward.
“Hey, I can offer you a job, Jonas! You can co work as a janitor for . I’m sure your once high-status experience will help you understand what the important people care about here; you’ll do great!” Brandon shouted in mockery.
The Jonas couple remained unfazed and walked past Brandon.
“Listen, even if you have tickets, if I refuse, I could ensure you don’t get in!” Brandon, feeling humiliated by their disregard, suddenly ran over to block their way.
Jonas felt his anger rising again.
Today, he had joyfully taken his wife shopping, heard about Yegor’s band’s performance here, and since he knew his wife loved them, Jonas almost instantly bought tickets to bring her to the show, only to encounter the scoundrel Brandon!
At this mont, Brandon’s thuggish nature was on full display in public!
Attempting to bar their entry!
At this mont, Jonas genuinely felt like fighting back.
“Sir, under UE Country’s law, doing so would subject you to hefty compensation and business suspension,”
a voice drifted over from beside Brandon.
Then, a young Oriental man with black hair and eyes walked over with a smile, standing to the side.
“Of course, if I get involved, I’ll ensure your losses are even greater!”
Brandon turned in surprise to look at the young man.
“It’s you!” Jonas couldn’t help but exclaim.
The newcor was soone he had t in a cafe but had not known by na—
Bai Xiaosheng.
“Good to see you again, Mr. Jonas,” Bai Xiaosheng smiled at Jonas and politely nodded at Mrs. Jonas. “Hello, Mrs. Jonas. I’m a friend of Mr. Jonas.”
Being called a friend, Jonas gave Bai Xiaosheng a sincere smile.
“Hello, young sir,” Mrs. Jonas, seeing Bai Xiaosheng’s gentle manners, gentlemanly and polite, instantly took a liking to him, smiling courteously.
Brandon frowned, sizing up Bai Xiaosheng, and asked, “Who are you?”
Bai Xiaosheng looked at him, pointed at his own nose, and laughed, “? Na, I’m not planning to tell you. Identity, guess away. Lawyer, journalist, public.. servant. In short, if you keep these two ticket holders out, I’ll make things very difficult for you!”
Bai Xiaosheng’s last words carried a threatening tone.
Lawyer! Journalist! Public.. servant!
Any one of these identities could be extrely troubleso!
Brandon couldn’t help but swallow hard.
“We’ve got the tickets!”
At this mont, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying ca rushing over.
Lin Weiwei waved the tickets in her hand.
Bai Xiaosheng had learned from his experience at the Ladoga Grand Theater and had sent them ahead to buy tickets.
“Now, I have one more identity,” Bai Xiaosheng took the tickets from Lin Weiwei, waved them in front of Brandon, and smiled, “A guest at Dorado Theater.”
“If you refuse us entry, I’ll escalate the matter,” Bai Xiaosheng smiled, threatening Brandon, “Want to try?”
With that, Bai Xiaosheng let his smile fade and stared coldly at Brandon.
Locked gaze with him, Brandon suddenly shivered.
This young man’s gaze was terrifying!
Dark and eerie, carrying so obscure intimidation!
It instilled in him a deep chill that was hard to shake!
The feeling was unbelievable, even startling Brandon himself, but the pronounced dread was real, making him instinctively avoid provoking Bai Xiaosheng.
Under Bai Xiaosheng’s intimidating gaze, Brandon, the manager of Dorado Theater, imdiately backed down and muttered, “Then go in if you must.”
Bai Xiaosheng barely glanced at Brandon and gestured invitingly to Mr. and Mrs. Jonas with a smile.
The couple smiled at Bai Xiaosheng and his friends before proceeding forward.
Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying also gave Brandon a cold glance, their eyes indifferent, before turning to follow.
Watching them walk away, Brandon finally gritted his teeth and spat.
“You’re only going to sit at the back, thinking you’re so great? Bah!”
