Chapter 208 I Really Have Ten Billion
'Bastard!'
Seeing James plant one on Kaitlyn, Damon's fists balled up, and a murderous glint flashed in his eyes.
Damon was a legit second-gen rich kid. His family owned a big-shot pharmaceutical company in Stardust City, his grandpa was a city branch president of the Mystic Alliance, and he himself was the chairman of an investment company.
He'd never struck out with any woman he wanted. Even top-tier actresses were easy pickings for him.
He didn't expect to hit a wall with Kaitlyn today.
What really ticked him off was that James blew off his warning and made him look like a fool in public.
A nobody dared to challenge him. Seriously asking for it.
Damon was fuming.
Sophie and the others were just as pissed.
They all knew James was Kaitlyn's shield for trouble, but they didn't expect him to be so bold as to kiss Kaitlyn, publicly dissing Damon.
Kaitlyn's face went red, shocked by James's bold move. She felt something weird but didn't hate it, nor did she push him away.
"Now do you believe Kaitlyn is my girl? I divorced her sister 'cause I fell for Kaitlyn."
James threw a punch at Damon and his crew. "If you don't buy it, I can prove it more."
As he spoke, he tightened his grip on Kaitlyn's slim waist, his fingers gently caressing, showing he owned her.
Kaitlyn was about to pass out. If her mom and sister heard this, they'd probably break her legs.
"Bastard, you're pretty cocky." A long-haired dude stepped up, glaring at James. "You actually dare to snatch a woman from Mr. Bell?"
"Miss Smith is so hot, do you even deserve her?"
His words were sharp. "Can you afford her? Can you keep her?"
The others nodded in agreement. Hot chicks were always the accessories of the rich and powerful; the poor didn't deserve them, and even if they got them temporarily, they couldn't keep them.
James grinned nonchalantly. "I know I don't deserve Kaitlyn, but I do have the cash to support a woman."
Sophie sneered, "With that small clinic?"
Kaitlyn said, "I'm not asking for much."
A cup of coffee, a donut, and a phone, and Kaitlyn could live happily.
"My family only has assets worth 1 billion dollars, and I feel I can't afford Miss Smith."
Seeing James so sure of himself, the long-haired dude continued expressionlessly, "With such a big mouth, you must have assets worth billions of dollars? Which family are you from?"
Everyone knew he was mocking James.
A small clinic owner having that kind of money? If he did, he wouldn't need to earn a few hundred bucks from consultations.
"Billions of dollars?" James shook his head lightly. "No, it's more like over 10 billion dollars now."
Several girls rolled their eyes and sneered, '10 billion dollars?'
Even Kaitlyn was stunned by James's words, her face turning red.
Those words were way over the top.
Only Sophie’s face changed slightly. In theory, James did have 10 billion dollars; the raw stones in the antique shop were worth that much.
But it was too embarrassing, so she didn't say it.
Damon and his crew also burst into laughter, their eyes full of endless mockery and ridicule.
Over 10 billion dollars.
That figure not only would made him untouchable in Rosewood City but also gave him a spot in Stardust City.
As far as they knew, there were only a handful of folks in Rosewood City with assets over 10 billion dollars, plus one Olivia.
A total of seven people.
James wasn't a Martin, a Clark, or a Lee; having that kind of money was just a joke.
"Oh, so it's Mr. Williams with assets over 10 billion dollars, my bad."
The long-haired dude flipped his hair, pretending to be shocked, then came up and shook James's hand, saying, "Sorry, please look out for me in the future, Mr. Williams."
Several ladies burst into laughter again, thinking James was truly embarrassing.
Damon sneered, "John, be smart, don't piss off Mr. Williams, or he'll crush you with his cash."
"Got it." John nodded and bowed. "I'll make sure to treat Mr. Williams well."
His fearful act cracked everyone up and made the pretty girls even more disdainful of James.
"Mr. Williams, with assets over 10 billion dollars, you're a big shot in Rosewood City." Damon shook his Rolex and swaggered forward. "I'm here in Rosewood City to start a forest adventure project, needing about 5 billion dollars in financing. I was gonna hit up Hundred Flowers Bank, but hearing you're so loaded, I suddenly wanna give you the chance."
"This project, in three years, you can get your money back, and within ten years, you can make at least 20 billion dollars. So, how about it? Lend me 5 billion dollars?"
Damon seriously talked business with James. "With your deep pocket, 5 billion dollars is chump change."
Several socialites holding wine laughed even more, spilling their red wine.
"James, let's bounce."
Kaitlyn was super pissed, ready to drag James away.
Unexpectedly, James held her back, showing interest. "Investing 5 billion dollars, with an annual return of about 2.5 billion dollars, the profit is huge. Give me a business plan. If the project is solid, I'll think about it."
Although Damon was a jerk, James didn't mind as long as the project was profitable.
"Business plan?
Everyone couldn't hold back anymore, laughing uncontrollably, looking at James like he was a fool.
Damon was mocking him, and not only did he not realize it, but he also asked for a business plan, as if he could really come up with that kind of money.
Truly one of a kind.
Kaitlyn's face turned red, pulling James. "James, let's go back. I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
"Thank you, Mr. Williams. I'll give you the business plan tomorrow. Leave your address, and I'll visit you with a generous gift."
Damon laughed heartily, then turned to the crowd and shouted, "Everyone, I present you the top young tycoon of Rosewood City."
"With assets over 10 billion dollars, able to casually come up with 5 billion dollars cash, even Hundred Flowers Bank doesn't have that kind of cash."
"In the future, if you have good projects and no money, you can directly find Mr. Williams. A few billion dollars is nothing to him."
"Mr. Williams is so amazing."
He called his friends over, pretending to bow, wanting to embarrass James even more.
Many socialites shook their heads and sneered.
At this moment, James's phone vibrated, and everyone heard the audio broadcast.
"On August 12th, your account received 10 billion dollars from Sebastian, with a current balance of 18 billion dollars."
The laughter in the room instantly froze.
