The Business Tycoon And The Clever Twins By Jamie Joe

Chapter 78 

During the confrontation between Terence and Victoria, the black–clad men lying on the ground, as well as the bodyguard. who pretended to be a deliveryman, all stood up one after another. 

They straightened their attire and stood in a disciplined line behind Terence, looking like a well–trained military unit. 

Terence, just like their leader, stood at the forefront. 

At this moment, a tall man in a light–colored suit, accompanied by seven or eight black–clad bodyguards, walked toward Christy’s direction. 

Upon seeing this man, the bodyguards led by Terence stepped back from the corridor and lined up in two rows in the lobby, making a passage for the man and saluting him respectfully, as if welcoming their master, 

The arrogant and haughty man had already arrived in front of Christy, who couldn’t calm down at the sight of him. 

“Women, I told you I would come, and I always keep my word!” Joshua said with a wild and unrestrained laugh. 

Joshua, I never agreed to see you! You came uninvited.” Christy’s mood couldn’t be any worse upon seeing him. 

Christy felt that Joshua always brought disaster wherever he went! 

“Terence, you and your men can leave now.” Joshua was quite satisfied with their performance. 

“Okay, Mr. Melendez. Terence respectfully replied, leading his men out of the lobby and into the hallway. 

Joshua’s sharp gaze swept over Christy and Victoria. 

Victoria met his gaze with a dissatisfied glare, wondering what he meant by looking at her like that. She owed him nothing. 

In fact, Joshua had already seen the scene between Victoria and Terence from a distance, by the elevator. 

To his surprise, he found that Christy, a poor and insignificant woman, had a female friend who was a hidden master. 

In these years, Terence and Joshua had gone through countless trials and tribulations, experiencing battles both big and 

small. 

Joshua was astonished when he witnessed someone spar with Terence for a round and still not be defeated. Of course, Joshua was aware that Terence’s opponent was a woman, and it was possible that Terence deliberately gave her a chance to display her skills. 

Joshua recalled the recent incident when Gloria sent people to attack Christy. 

At that time, Clara informed Joshua that it was Victoria and Alan who joined forces to defeat the enemy. 

At the time, he did not pay much attention to it. 

However, now Joshua must take it seriously…. 

Joshua felt incredibly fortunate to have a capable woman by Christy’s side before he recognized Alan and Clara. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable. 

Thinking of this, Joshua smiled at Victoria and said, “Miss Bright, Christy has been under your care for some time now, and to express our gratitude, I will have my assistant deliver a gift that will surely satisfy you.” 

Upon hearing this, Christy became anxious. 

Christy felt that the words sounded strange. She thought Joshua could be planning to cause trouble for Victoria. 

“Joshua, Victoria is my best friend. You cannot harm her! If you dare to hurt her, it will be over between us!” Christy said angrily. 

Joshua felt helpless. He believed that Christy, who lacked intelligence, misunderstood his apology for something else. 

But Joshua thought it was for the best. He was looking for a reason to take care of Christy. 

Thinking of this, Joshua smiled darkly and turned to Terence. “Terence, I want to spend some alone time with my woman. Can you take care of Miss Bright for me?” 

“Of course, Mr. Melendez,” Terence replied before walking over to Victoria again. 

“What… What do you want?” Victoria asked nervously. 

Terence politely said, “Miss Bright, I would like to discuss the copyright of all your works with you.” 

At the mention of her works, Victoria’s face suddenly turned pale! 

Victoria knew that Joshua was wealthy and powerful, capable of manipulating anything with a flick of his hand. He could buy the entire Cloud Mansion, and dealing with her would be much easier. 

“Miss Bright, there is no need for you to be anxious. All you need to do is follow me to a quiet place where I will discuss all

the details with you in earnest.” Terence’s voice was gentle, unlike Joshua’s deep tone. 

However, Victoria felt that Terence was unpredictable, which made her feel extremely unsafe. 

Victoria was very worried, as she believed that her work was her life! 

“Miss Bright, you have no reason to be nervous. We will not harm you,” Terence assured. 

Joshua added with a smile. “Terence is absolutely right! Miss Bright, I guarantee that you will get benefit if you come follow me and my assistant. Conversely, if you continue to hinder me, I cannot guarantee that I won’t do something regrettable.” 

Victoria’s brow furrowed, and she felt very unhappy. 

However, she knew that there were more than ten bodyguards in the lobby on this floor alone. 

Furthermore, Victoria could not be sure how many bodyguards were downstairs, making it impossible for her to defeat Joshua. 

Thinking of this, Victoria let out a sigh and said, “Okay, I’ll go! Joshua, I warn you. If you hurt Christy, you will regret it.” 

“Christy is my woman, so how could I treat her badly?” Joshua sneered. 

Victoria’s eyes went cold, and she glared at Joshua before turning to follow Terence. 

[“Victoria, I’m sorry.” Christy stood behind her, feeling both guilty and moved. 

Christy thought if it weren’t for her impulsive decision to come here, Victoria wouldn’t have been dragged into this mess. Additionally, Victoria was even concerned about her safety before leaving, making Christy feel even more guilty and touched. 

As Terence and Victoria left, seven or eight bodyguards followed closely behind them, blocking Christy’s view, and preventing her from seeing Victoria’s figure. 

Victoria accompanied Terence into the elevator, and soon they arrived at the bottom level. 

As soon as the elevator doors opened, Victoria was astonished to see a neat row of over a dozen black sedans parked in the underground parking lot, and dozens of black–clad men standing in formation. Victoria’s jaw dropped once again. 

There were over a dozen Rolls–Royces worth millions of dollars parked there! 

There were also dozens of identically built and tall black–clad men, who appeared to Victoria like a troop of soldiers dressed in suits and ties! 

Victoria thought Joshua’s approach was quite excessive. He just wanted a free meal, but he brought a whole fleet of cars and dozens of bodyguards. This was an extravagant display! 

Victoria’s back was covered in a cold sweat. 

She couldn’t imagine what would have happened if she had not compromised and instead stood up to Joshua just now. Her fate would have been truly miserable. 

Victoria knew that Joshua had a very special status. She wondered how Christy got involved with such a man! 

Victoria was now worried about Christy. She was uncertain if Christy could handle Joshua. 

At Victoria’s house… 

“You guys stay outside,” Joshua ordered. 

“Yes!” the group of bodyguards replied, and then stood guard outside like soldiers. 

Joshua walked in, and as soon as the door closed, he changed his cold demeanor. Even the color of his eyes almost changed. and he had a wicked smile on his face. 

To Christy’s eyes, this smile looked extremely smug and disgusting. 

“Joshua, hasn’t anyone ever told you that you look so sleazy and cheesy when you smile?” Christy glared at Joshua and asked. “What exactly do you want?” 

Joshua smiled. “Didn’t I tell you earlier? I came here to eat, and while I’m at it, I wanted to visit the environment where Alan and Clara used to live.”
