After enduring ridicule from the crowd, Don Albert made a gesture for Marcus to leave.


    Typically, after the embarrassing meeting at Heaven Springs, Marcus would shield his forehead and rush home. But this time, he strode back to the parking lot with a fierce expression and climbed into the car upied by Mr. Lloyd and Jones.<fn85a5> ?? ??? ???? ?? ???? ???? ???????s, ????s? ??s?? find?novel</fn85a5>


    Mr. Lloyd had been waiting patiently for Marcus’s arrival. As soon as Marcus entered the vehicle, Mr. Lloyd inquired, “Son, how did it go?”


    With gritted teeth, Marcus replied, “There are over thirty waiters and guards inside, but most of them are women. The real threats are the twelve security guards.”


    Turning toward Jones, Mr. Lloyd asked with concern, “Mr. Jones, do you think you can manage against so many men? What if they decide to attack?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Jones smirked coldly and replied, “Even if all thirty-plus are security guards, they’ll be no match for us!”


    Mr. Lloyd immediately praised him, saying, “Wow, Mr. Jones, you truly are impressive! I admire your confidence!”


    Jones nodded with an air of arrogance before looking at Marcus and asking, “Where is Don Albert right now?”


    “He’s in the Diamond Suite on the top floor!” Marcus responded eagerly. Then, with excitement, he continued, “Dad, Mr. Jones, I stumbled upon something surprising when I was inside!”


    “Oh? What did you find?” Mr. Lloyd asked, intrigued.


    With a vicious grin, Marcus revealed, “I spotted Charlie the loser’s father-inw among the diners! He’s actually in the same Diamond Suite, and Don Albert was entertaining him! Can we take him out too when we go in?”


    “Charlie’s father-inw?!” Mr. Lloyd’s face lit up with delight at this revtion. “This is fantastic! That scoundrel Charlie humiliated me at Jonathan Moore’s birthday party! It’s time for his old man to pay the price!”


    Killing Charlie’s father-inw would serve as revenge for both him and his son. Additionally, Young Master Webb harbored ill feelings toward Charlie, so taking out Charlie’s father-inw would likely earn him some favor.


    Mr. Lloyd then turned to Jones and said, “Mr. Jones, you must have heard how Charlie treated your bosses at the Moore family banquet. Since his father-inw is here, how about we eliminate him too?”


    Jones nodded in agreement. “Charlie insulted my bosses, and I wanted him dead right then! With his father-inw here, I have no reason to let him live!”


    Mr. Lloyd nodded enthusiastically and urged, “Let’s move in! It’s time for a killing spree!”

    Meanwhile, an array of exquisite dishes wasid out on the table in the Diamond Suite of Heaven Springs.


    In a show of respect, Don Albert addressed Jacob, saying, “Mr. Wilson, I asked the kitchen to prepare this selection of special health foods for you. I hope they please your pte. We’ve used only the finest ingredients avable in Aurous Hill, all natural and free of additives.”


    Jacob stared in astonishment at the spread before him, his mouth agape.


    He had never dined in such an upscale restaurant, not even during the peak of the Wilson family’s fortune, let alone tasted such luxurious dishes.


    At times, he had fantasized about indulging in avish meal featuring premium shark’s fin, abalone, and Australian lobsters or king crab. However, such opportunities had eluded him for many years. The most extravagant meal he had previously enjoyed cost a mere two thousand dors per person. Today, he had pushed his budget slightly to three thousand dors per head.
