Chapter 1756 Make Use Of My Connections
The threat between best friends was the least lethal, especially since I knew how soft-hearted Emery
was. I burst out laughing. “No, I’m just kidding.”
“It’s not funny. I was planning to work hard today. If you’re trying to fool around, come again another
time,” uttered Emery resignedly yet dotingly. I was sure that even if I pestered her and said a lot of
nonsense, she would not get mad at me.
Empathy should be mutual, so I did not take it too far. “Okay. Time to get serious. The Jade will be very
lively tonight. Since you’re the owner, I’m here to make use of my connections.”
“That’s more like it. Get straight to the point. What’s going on?” Instantaneously, Emery became good-
tempered again. Her employees would probably be wondering which one was her true nature.
I explained the entire situation to her and finally concluded, “So, this is really important. Someone like
Nathaniel will definitely make a reservation. I need to know whether he’ll be there or not. Only then can I

“I see. But this is a matter between Ashton and John. Nathaniel might not turn up,” Emery analyzed.
“No,” I immediately refuted her. “You’re wrong. Nathaniel won’t miss any opportunity to trample on
Ashton.”
Destroying Ashton’s happiness was Nathaniel’s greatest joy. It was a morbid obsession. What he could
not get, he would not allow Ashton to have it as well. In fact, he would even go to extremes to ruin
everyone’s happiness. Therefore, he would definitely show up.
“Wait a minute. I’ll have someone check the guestlist for tonight.”
“Okay.”
After two minutes, Emery’s voice sounded again. “You seem to have guessed wrongly this time.”
“What do you mean? There’s no reservation from Nathaniel?”
“Mm-hmm,” she affirmed. “However, it’s also possible that he might show up without a reservation. VIPs
always have the priority no matter what time they turn up.”
I had seen too many unusual behaviors of Nathaniel, so it was not so surprising. Now that I was not sure
whether he would appear or not, it was difficult to determine how far I should take the act.
At that moment, I seemed to understand why Ashton had been so indifferent toward me because
Nathaniel was like a ghost. It was impossible to know when he would appear and deal a heavy blow.
Therefore, it was important to be vigilant at all times.
In that case, I could only give it a shot. “All right. Send me Ashton’s room number later so that I don’t run
around like a headless chicken.”
“Don’t worry. Look for the manager on duty when you arrive, and he’ll lead you there,” responded Emery
matter-of-factly.
“Things are different now, and rumors are spreading like wildfire. Ashton announced publicly in the
company that day that he has taken all my shares. And every entertainment headline these few days is
about Rebecca and me. Not to mention that John has moved out of the Fuller residence. The whole
world knows that I’m being detested by my own family. Who else will treat me with respect?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“That’s their problem. If any of my subordinates dare to add insult to injury, I’ll make sure they can no
longer survive in K City.” Emery felt indignant on my behalf. Shortly afterward, she smiled. “Why do I
sound so serious? It’s not like you’ve really suffered a downfall. All of these are just an act. Anyway, I’ll
inform all my employees that they’ll have to give you special treatment no matter when you come over.
Don’t worry and go ahead.”
“Thank you, then, Ms. Moore,” I quipped.
“Yeah, right. Is that all? I’m busy with the accounting reports, so I have to go now. See you tonight.”
“Okay, bye.”
The car stopped at the intersection of the commercial district when I hung up the phone. I inadvertently
glanced out the window and happened to see a giant poster of Rebecca on the exterior of a supermarket
building.
She was wearing bold and bright-colored clothes with exaggerated makeup. That kind of fashion style
might be acceptable to foreigners, but the natives might think that it was too much. I bet everyone who
saw the poster would wonder if she had offended the makeup artist.
