Chapter 1253: The Eccentric Man
"I am..." Before Chris Shelby could finish, Juliette stepped forward and said, "Howard, to be honest with you, Chris Shelby is my boyfriend! I advise you to give up early. I already have a boyfriend. If you keep bothering me, my boyfriend won't be polite to you!"
Huh? Upon hearing this, Chris Shelby couldn't help but smile bitterly. Previously, he had been Marie's fake boyfriend, and now he had to be Juliette's shield too. What kind of situation was this?
Hearing that Chris Shelby was Juliette's boyfriend, Howard's face immediately changed. He stared at Chris Shelby and asked, "Kid, is this true?" Given the current situation, Chris Shelby had no choice but to admit it. Fortunately, Esther was still working late at the company; otherwise, things would have been worse for him today.
Chris Shelby nodded and said, "That's right! I'm Juliette's boyfriend. I'm warning you to stay away from my girlfriend; otherwise, I won't be polite!"
If it were an ordinary person hearing these words, they would probably back off. But Howard sneered and said, "Juliette, don't lie to me! I've already asked around your company. They all say you're single. How come you suddenly have a boyfriend? I think this boyfriend is entirely fake, someone you found just to spite me, isn't it?"
Upon hearing this, Chris Shelby couldn't help but roll his eyes. This Howard wasn't an idiot; he guessed it right away.
Juliette's face turned red instantly as she said, "Do you think it's fake just because you say so? I'll prove it to you right now whether he's real or not!"
With that, Juliette suddenly kissed Chris Shelby. In an instant, Chris Shelby was completely dumbfounded. What the heck was this? I see you as a sister, and you want to sleep with me?
After kissing Chris Shelby, Juliette glared at Howard angrily and said, "Did you see that? We just kissed. Is he still a fake boyfriend?"
Seeing Juliette and Chris Shelby kiss made Howard furious. He gritted his teeth and said, "Juliette, I didn't expect you to really have a boyfriend! But if you think this will make me give up on you, you're wrong! won't stop until I win you over!"
Chris Shelby was utterly speechless about Howard. Clearly, Juliette didn't like him at all, yet he insisted on pestering her. No wonder there are so many persistent people in the world.
Chris Shelby sighed and said, "I think you should give up! Juliette really doesn't like you. Your persistence is useless and will only make things awkward for everyone."
"Hahaha!" Howard laughed loudly and said through gritted teeth, "You want me to give up? No way! Unless you give me a hundred million dollars, I won't stop!"
Hearing this, Chris Shelby was stunned. What kind of absurd demand was this? Earlier Howard acted as if he was deeply in love with Juliette. Now the tone had completely changed; Howard started asking for money?
Damn! Does being rejected by a woman mean asking for money? This is ridiculous!
Juliette was furious and shouted, "Howard, are you crazy? You chase after me here and then ask for money! I'm telling you; I won't give you any money. Get out of here now!"
Howard sneered and said, "No money? Juliette, do you know how much effort I've put into pursuing you? How much energy and time I've spent? A hundred million dollars is just compensation for my emotional distress!"
"Get out!" Seeing Howard's shamelessness made Juliette explode in anger. She was utterly frustrated by encountering such an eccentric man.
She had lived a pampered life in the palace since childhood. This time Howard had completely shattered her worldview.
Seeing that Juliette wouldn't give him money, Howard turned his gaze toward Chris Shelby. When he arrived earlier, he noticed the Cloud Bay mansion. With his keen eye, he could tell that this mansion couldn't be bought for less than several billion dollars.
It was clear that Chris Shelby was a wealthy man. Since Juliette wouldn't give him money, Howard decided to target Chris Shelby instead.
Howard stared at Chris Shelby and said, "Kid if you give me a hundred million dollars now, I promise never to bother Juliette again. What do you say?"
Upon hearing this, Chris Shelby's face gradually darkened. This Howard dared to target him; he must be tired of living!
Chris Shelby had never been blackmailed before in his life!
Chris Shelby sneered and said coldly, "You want money?"
Hearing this made Howard excited immediately. Although he was a second-generation rich kid from the Brill family-a second-tier family in the provincial capital-he didn't have much money himself.
A hundred million dollars was still a huge sum for him!
Howard thought Chris Shelby had compromised and said excitedly with a full face of anticipation: "If you give me a hundred million dollars. now I leave East Coast
immediately and promise never to come back!"
"Want money? Let's see if you're capable of getting it!" With a sneer Chris Shelby slapped him hard. Smack! With a crisp sound Howard was sent flying by Chris Shelby's slap landing heavily on the ground. "Bastard how dare you hit me?" Howard hadn't expected Chris Shelby to strike suddenly leaving him furious.
But before he could finish speaking Chris Shelby walked over grabbed his neck lifting him off the ground.
"Help! Help!" Being choked by Chris Shelby made Howard scream in terror.
Chris Shelby sneered: "Didn't you want money? Why don't you want it now?"
Howard quickly shouted: "No more! No more! Please let me go!"
Facing the threat of death from someone as skilled as Chris Shelby terrified Howard making him fear for his life more than anything else.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Under such circumstances Howard chose to give up immediately turning red-faced struggling to breathe.
Bang! With a cold snort Chris Shelby threw him forcefully onto the ground making him gasp for air desperately.
