Chapter 315 Working at the Nightclub
Some staff members came carrying boxes.
After Yorick finished reading the list, he looked at Sawyer, who was already shocked and standing at the store entrance, and asked with a smile, "Sawyer, where should we put the gifts?"
Sawyer finally snapped out of it and hurriedly said, "Bring them inside."
Yorick instructed, "Bring them inside."
Vanessa also reacted and promptly led the way, saying, "Please come inside."
Sawyer followed them in.
At the entrance.
Yorick, with a respectful expression, said, "Xerxes, Mr. Bennett, do you have any other instructions? If not, I'll head back."
Xerxes glanced at Larry.
Larry waved slightly and said, "No, you can go back."
"Xerxes." Yorick looked at Xerxes, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Xerxes, everything is ready on Esmeralda's side, and many important people have already arrived."
Xerxes waved slightly and said, "Cancel it for now."
"Cancel?" Yorick's face showed helplessness and bitterness. "Xerxes, it's easy for you to say. How am I supposed to explain this to Esmeralda when I go back?"
Xerxes thought for a moment, then suddenly had an idea and said, "How about this, call everyone who was going to Esmeralda's birthday party and bring them here. I want to treat them to a meal."
As Xerxes spoke, he glanced at Larry, "Larry, is this okay? I'll call everyone here to help your friend."
Larry smiled faintly. Xerxes was indeed good at handling things.
Larry replied, "Sure, go ahead."
Xerxes immediately instructed, "What are you waiting for? Go quickly and tell Esmeralda that Larry is here too."
"Okay, I'll go right away." Yorick finally left, satisfied.
Soon, the staff who had carried the gifts inside came out, along with Sawyer and Vanessa.
"Where is he?" The two came out but didn't see Yorick, who had delivered the gifts.
Vanessa looked puzzled and muttered, "How did he leave without saying who sent the gifts?"
Larry walked over to Sawyer and smiled, "Sawyer, do you like the gift I gave you?"
Sawyer looked at Larry, puzzled, and asked, "Gift? What gift?"
Larry felt helpless.
"Didn't they just carry it in?"
"Larry, you sent it?" Sawyer looked shocked.
Larry laughed and said, "Who else but me would give you such an expensive gift?"
Vanessa glanced at Larry, seeing his outfit worth only a few hundred dollars, and couldn't help but look disdainful.
"Larry, stop bragging. Do you even know what the gift is? Just the cash alone is 8.8 million dollars, enough to buy four or five restaurants."
"Vanessa." At this moment, a voice came.
Vanessa looked over and saw a middle-aged man in a suit and tie, looking like a successful person, walking over.
He was about fifty years old, slightly overweight, and balding.
"Rafferty, you finally came." Vanessa smiled and walked over, intimately holding his arm, looking like a couple.
She said coquettishly, "Rafferty, you said you would give me a big gift for my restaurant's opening."
"Didn't I already send someone to deliver it? Hasn't it arrived yet?" Rafferty was puzzled.
"Rafferty, you sent this big gift?" Vanessa was surprised.
"Yes, who else but me would give you such a big gift?" Rafferty pinched Vanessa's butt.
"Stop it, there are so many people here, and Sawyer is still here."
Sawyer saw this and clenched his fists, veins bulging on his arms, but then he relaxed.
Vanessa walked into the store, holding Rafferty's arm.
Larry pulled Sawyer aside and asked, "Sawyer, what's going on? How could you marry her?"
"Larry, don't say anything." Sawyer looked heartbroken.
Larry's face was quite somber.
So many people had come this morning and all of them were very close to Vanessa.
"Larry, don't ask." Sawyer looked troubled.
"Sawyer, if you still consider me your big brother, then tell me."
Remembering how Larry had helped him at Maple Grove Mansion last time, Sawyer hesitated for a moment and then pulled Larry to a secluded spot and whispered, "I married Vanessa a year ago. She found me, said she liked me, and asked if I was willing to marry her without a dowry."
"I'm almost thirty, and because my family is poor, no woman is willing to marry me. I thought Vanessa was quite pretty, so I agreed."
Larry asked, "Didn't you know what she did before?"
Sawyer nodded and said, "At first, I didn't know, but later I found out she used to work at a high-end nightclub. But now she's quit."
"You should get a divorce."
Larry didn't say much. He didn't want Sawyer to get into trouble. If she had really quit, that would be fine.
But from Vanessa's intimate behavior with these bosses, she was definitely still in contact with them.
"Larry, I can't. To open this restaurant, I used up my savings of 200,000 dollars and borrowed 300,000 dollars from friends and family. I put in 500,000 dollars, and the rest was from Vanessa. The restaurant just opened; how can I get a divorce now?"
Sawyer looked heartbroken.
He knew all this but pretended not to.
Marrying a beautiful woman like Vanessa was already a blessing for him.
As for Vanessa still keeping in touch with her former clients, Callista said it was a kind of networking, and they would need these big bosses to support them in the future, ensuring endless profits.
Larry took a deep breath and said, "The gift is for you, 8.8 million dollars, all yours. Divorce her, return the money she invested in the restaurant, and buy out her shares."
"Larry, is it really from you?" Sawyer still couldn't believe it.
Larry patted Sawyer's shoulder and said, "It's just a small token from me."
"Larry, this gift is too valuable; I can't accept it."
Larry waved his hand slightly, interrupting Sawyer, and smiled, "Ten years ago, you always followed me and called me big brother."
Sawyer was stunned, then exclaimed, "You are?"
Larry smiled faintly and said, "That's right, but due to certain reasons, I changed my appearance."
"Larry, is it really you? Are you really Black Dragon?"
Larry made a gesture for silence.
"Keep it down. My identity is top secret. Do you want everyone to know?"
Sawyer looked at Larry, both surprised and delighted. He didn't expect that the person who helped him at Maple Grove Mansion was Larry from ten years ago, his classmate and good brother.
