Chapter 638
A touch of coldness flickered in Joseph's dark gaze.At this moment, their group caught Cassie's attention. Cassie blinked, her gaze wordlessly falling upon Noah.Noah, feeling the weight of her stare, awkwardly touched his nose.Megan broke the silence, her voice cutting through the tension. "Noah, the friends you were talking about, they're them, aren't they?""Yeah," Noah nodded, his eyes still on Cassie. "Since Cassie is back, I arranged a meal together. I'm aware that you two don't see eye to eye, so we'll take our leave first."With a wave of his hand, Noah began to stride towards Cassie.Sarah's voice, weak yet insistent, suddenly filled the air. "Since we all know each other, why don't we all head to the club together? It'll be livelier with a larger crowd."All eyes turned to her. Lucas frowned, while a smirk spread across Joseph's face. "That's not a bad idea. Perfect, in fact. I've been meaning to ask Cassie about the strategy she used for that life-or-death shopping mall scenario. You've had me going in circles. The least you could do is treat me as a guest." Cassie, her eyes lazily lifting to meet his, was about to respond when she suddenly burped. "Sorry, I overate. What were you saying again?"An awkward silence descended upon them.Even Noah looked at her with a newfound admiration.Joseph, however, was far from amused. His face, usually so composed, was on the brink of anger.Everyone held their breath, anticipating an explosion from Joseph. But to their surprise, he laughed. "Do you think your status has changed just because Peace Group's market value has shot up by several hundred billion? Cassie, I could squash you like an ant." Cassie tapped her ear, a smirk playing on her lips. "I think I understand. I am really grateful to you. But what's the deal with these people? They expect me to treat them too. Your mistress and your scumbag boyfriend, along with the scumbag's mistress. I can't just throw money around, even if I have a lot."The words "mistress," "scumbag boyfriend," and "scumbag's mistress" hung in the air. Megan, Lucas, Michael, and Sarah's expressions shifted noticeably.Lucas, ever the refined gentleman, frowned. " Cassie, it's been three years and you still haven't matured. Are you trying to start a fight? Do you want me to rip out your tongue?""I can't afford to mess with you. You're always trying to ruin other people's companies and rip out tongues," Cassie muttered and turned to Billy, saying, "Senior, let's go."
Senior?
Joseph's gaze turned icy as he looked at Billy. "Are you the president of Mason?"Billy merely smiled, neither confirming nor denying it.
Joseph nodded and said coldly, "Very well. You are the only person in Madison who dares to oppose me.""For Cassie, my junior sister, I am not afraid of any threats," Billy responded, smiling at the slightly confused Cassie. "Let's go.""Okay." Cassie fell into step beside Billy.In the courtyard, the moonlight bathed the two of them, casting them in an ethereal glow. They looked like a perfect couple.A surge of anger welled up in Joseph's chest, as if a fire had been ignited within him.Megan glanced at Joseph, her fists clenched. "I'm leaving too. We have plans to eat oysters later.""Noah is really out of line," Michael grumbled. "Should we still go to the club?""It's boring to always go to the club. Let's go back," Joseph said, turning on his heel.Soon, a car pulled up at the entrance of the villa. "You go back first. I have a meeting with someone."
