Chapter 608 - 627 Husband
By the side of an oval table, eight people were now sitting down. Grace Lopez and Lucy Campbell were seated on either side of James Brown, while Robert Johnson sat directly across from him. Additionally, there were four more people—three men and one woman. Two of the men were middle-aged, roughly forty years old, who were acquainted with Robert Johnson: one called Robert Johnson, and the other Brandon Carter. Both were businessmen, each having a Twenty Million Dollars fortune. While it wasn’t considered exceptional on this cruise, it was still quite decent.
The other man and woman, James Brown had seen before, and the man’s name was Charles Goodman. When Lucy Campbell first arrived in YODC City, James Brown accompanied Gina Lopez to a party. That Charles Goodman was really aggressive in pursuing Gina Lopez. Since then, James Brown hadn’t seen him again and never expected to see him here today.
This wasn’t because Charles Goodman knew Gina Lopez had a boyfriend and gave up the pursuit, but more so because he had recently not been in YODC City. His father took him elsewhere to make a business deal, but truthfully, he wasn’t the one making the deal. He was just tagging along to gain some experience. Yet, this guy believed he successfully closed a major business deal and returned with a brazen attitude.
When he saw Grace Lopez disguised as Gina Lopez, his eyes lit up immediately. But when he noticed Grace Lopez holding James Brown’s arm affectionately, acting like she didn’t know him, a wave of anger surged within him.
This guy had also seen Lucy Campbell before, but at that time, Lucy Campbell was completely shrouded in an aura. Due to his status, he couldn’t get close to Lucy Campbell. Nowadays, Lucy Campbell’s outfit was quite modest. Despite her stunning beauty, unless someone was very familiar with her, they couldn’t associate her with the SSUP Country’s number one beauty.
Those who came here to play cards were not just here for gambling; many were also looking to socialize through playing cards. Although Robert Johnson intended to put James Brown in a bind, he still laughed and said, "Mr. Johnson is a famous logistics company CEO in YODC City, while CEO Wilson runs a taxi company with dozens of cars. They’re all big bosses. Mr. Smith is a well-known associate from T Corporation in YODC City, now a vice president in the company. They’re all business elites. And here we have the general manager of J Corporation, Gina Lopez, and playing with us today is her husband, James Brown."
Robert Johnson and Brandon Carter both nodded towards James Brown, while Charles Goodman glared at him and said, "Gina Lopez, did you get married?"
Grace Lopez didn’t recognize Charles Goodman, but upon hearing this, she understood that Charles Goodman knew her sister and wasn’t a good guy from the sound of it. Imitating her sister, she smiled faintly and said, "Yes, this is my husband, James Brown."
The veins on Charles Goodman’s forehead were bulging. He had previously been interested in Gina Lopez, but it wasn’t genuine affection. It was simply that Gina Lopez was talented and beautiful, making him think it would be prestigious to get Gina Lopez. At that time, Gina Lopez was just a general manager of a small company, essentially an employee, so he never took her seriously, believing she would eventually be his.
Now, unexpectedly someone else had claimed the prize, and she had gotten married. This was something he couldn’t accept at all.
