The God of War Chapter 27

Reston District.

Aleena helped Albert to bask in the sunshine in the small square.

Many neighbors pointed at them.

“Well, Aleena, why did you come out today?”

A middle-aged woman who was about the same age as Aleena ridiculed, “By the way, I heard that Jorge is back? Does he live here?”

Aleena forced a smile, extremely disgraced.

Jorge was such a good-for-nothing. If he didn’t come back, they could think he was dead. But now, the whole family was embarrassed because in one night, the news that he was back spread all over the district. She even went shopping secretly, fearing that she would be caught.

“Go home!”

Being displeased, Albert pulled Aleena up.

“You’re leaving so soon? It’s such a big matter and you don’t even hold a wedding ceremony. Why don’t you hold a banquet?”

“By the way, how is Jorge now? He has been out for so many years. Where does he work now?”

Aleena said in a bad mood, “What a busybody!”

The woman turned a deaf ear to her and giggled, “Hey, what are you angry about? Am I not allowed to talk about it? So you know shame, right?”

Obviously, she was looking for trouble.

It was a common practice to keep up with the Joneses. Besides, in the Reston District, she was the best at gossiping.

Aleena was so furious that she was gasping for breath and glared at the woman.

“What? Glare at me? Even if your eyeballs pop out, Jorge is still nothing!”

Aleena trembled with rage, and she turned to leave, intending to ignore this unreasonable woman.

“Hey, don’t go. When Roselyn divorces Jorge, I’ll introduce her to another good man…”

Seeing that Aleena was weak, the woman revealed a triumphant smile.

Rumble came from somewhere.

It turned out to be the sound of a dull and powerful engine. A red Porsche stopped in front of the woman. The body of the car reflected the glaring light under the sun, dazzling her eyes.

She had just rubbed her eyes when she saw Jorge and Roselyn open the door and get out of the car. She was confused.

“Mum, we are back.”

Roselyn called out upon seeing Aleena.

“Wow, it’s Roselyn. I thought my eyes were blurred!”

The woman sneered, “Where did you borrow the car? Return it quickly. You can’t afford it if you scrape it.”

She knew Porsche. Among her relatives, one who got money from demolition bought a Porsche too. With handling fee, it was worth more than a million!

Roselyn earned little money that she couldn’t afford it! Roselyn was frozen and did not know how to respond.

“I gave the car to Roselyn,”

Jorge said indifferently.

The woman was dumbfounded and shocked on the spot.

Jorge bought it? Didn’t he just come back a few days ago? Rumors had it that he couldn’t even afford a meal when he was out there.

“It was bought by Jorge. He felt that it was not safe for me to drive a new energy automobile to work.”

Looking at the woman, Roselyn said softly.

The woman was more perplexed. Jorge should buy such an expensive car for commuting! Wasn’t he a lame duck even without a job? Where did he get so much money? “Well, what are you talking about with Aleena?”

Jorge narrowed his eyes.

“No, nothing. I … I’m going back to cook.”

The neighbor, with an embarrassed look, turned around and left. The words she had said to Aleena before seemed to be a joke.

Aleena widened her eyes, completely shocked. Albert opened and shut his mouth, unspeaking.

Shock, it was too shocking! They could never imagine that this Porsche, which was distinctive at first glance, was bought by Jorge for Roselyn! “Is this car…”

Aleena hesitated, still somewhat unable to believe it.

Even Roselyn could not afford it. How could Jorge, who had just been discharged from the army, afford it? “Where’s Aleena’s car?”

Albert frowned. That new energy vehicle was bought after they scrimped for half a year.

“The automobile store has a scrappage scheme to show gratitude to the regular clients.”

Jorge smiled and pretended nothing happened.

Roselyn glared at Jorge and thought, ‘This guy was brainless.

Did he become silly after serving in the army?’

Albert shook his head with a bitter smile. Aleena also frowned as a sign of not believing him.

If there was such an activity in the store, Porsche would be parked everywhere! “It was indeed bought by Jorge!”

Roselyn took a deep breath and admitted it.

She had never lied since she was a child, and now that she told the truth, she immediately felt a sense of satisfaction.

Aleena looked at Jorge suspiciously, her eyebrows still knitted.

After being a soldier for five years, perhaps … he indeed had that much demobilization payment?

“Forget it, it’s all about them. Don’t ask anymore!”

Albert waved his hand. If Jorge hadn’t driven this car here today, that woman would probably have predisposed him to heart attacks.

Aleena wanted to say something more, but eventually shook her head and helped Albert back home.

“Mum didn’t say anything?”

Roselyn stared at Aleena’s back, surprised.

“It doesn’t matter. Let’s go back and eat. I’m hungry.”

Jorge touched his belly and smiled.

With his extraordinary eyesight, he could see the ridicule and disdain on the face of the neighbor far away, so he drove the car over to save face for Aleena.

Neither his wife nor his mother-in-law could be bullied!

In the past five years, he had fought on the battlefield at home and abroad. He both once ate bugs to appease his hunger in the uninhabited region and enjoyed an exorbitant bluefin tuna feast in the high- class restaurant.

However, for so many years, he had never eaten a home-cooked meal. Aleena was good at cooking, so the dishes were delectable, very much to his liking.

With an eating manner that was not elegant, Jorge devoured the food merrily.

Aleena put on a surprised face at the sight of this, her feelings complicated.

Although she was unwilling to admit it, he was still her son-in-law. He must have suffered a lot in five years when he was away from home. “Jorge, I have to ask you.” Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Albert, who was eating with lowered head, failed to restrain his curiosity. He frowned and asked, “Did that car really yours?”

Men had inborn interests in cars. Albert was the same. In his mind, that car was one million! In fact, they could never imagine that it was worth more than ten million! “Yes, I bought it. Dad, when your legs recover, I will bring you one too.”

Jorge put down the bowl and chopsticks and smiled.

The living room suddenly fell silent.

Albert lowered his head and did not say a word. Aleena glanced at him and secretly wiped her tears. Roselyn also stopped eating with a depressed look.

“Alas, this is an old malady.”

Albert smiled bitterly without explaining further.

“Dad, leave this to me! I have a comrade-in-arms who was injured on the battlefield and had a serious fracture. Now he is alive and kicking, and there are no sequelae left. I will contact an expert later and will cure your leg.”

Albert’s sad eyes lit up.

But it only lasted for a moment, and the hope in his eyes quickly extinguished again.

Jorge was just a retired soldier. What kind of connections could he have? “Jorge, are you joking?”

Roselyn could not help but ask.

She vaguely sensed that Jorge was not bragging! “Of course!”

Jorge nodded with a smile. “He should be out of the country right now. I will ask him to come here later.”

“Re … really?”

Albert was so excited that he suddenly stood up from his chair! For so many years, his injured legs exhausted him physically and mentally and he was often laughed at. If Jorge could cure him … Roselyn could be counted as novelxo.com fast updatemarrying the right person! After dinner, Roselyn went to organize the project materials. And Albert returned to his bedroom to take a nap as usual.

Jorge sat on the sofa leisurely.

“Jorge, you … come here for a moment.”

Aleena hesitated for a moment and called in the kitchen.

Jorge swiftly got up and walked to the kitchen.

Aleena gritted her teeth and stared into his eyes. “Tell me, after all these years, where did you go? Where did you get the money to buy a car? Did you do anything illegal that forced you to come back?”

“Mum, don’t worry. I am not that kind of person.”

“I came back to repay Roselyn’s kindness. To protect Roselyn and you.”

Jorge smiled, his eyes full of sincerity.

“Why do you want to repay her?”

Aleena fixed her eyes on Jorge, but his eyes did not dodge. Then, she continued to ask.

“Because she saved me and changed my life.”

Jorge thought back to the past and took a deep breath. “A lot of things are not yet time to say, but don’t worry, I will tell you in the future.”

Just as he finished speaking, the bedroom door opened.

Albert stood at the door and whispered, “I believe you for the time being, but you must not do anything out of line to Roselyn. Otherwise, I’ll break your neck!”

Jorge nodded slowly. “Understood!”

On the other side.

The Easton Group, Jeffery’s office.

“How’s the investigation?”

Jeffery placed the teacup heavily on the table and asked in a deep voice.

“Found it.”

The one standing in front of the desk was Jeffery’s adopted son, George. He gritted his teeth, “Fuck, I spent hundreds of thousands to get one of Davon’s men drunk. That’s why I got the information.”

“Davon used to be a soldier. Back then in the army, he inevitably had some interactions with Jorge! That loser should have helped Davon a lot!”

Jeffery clenched his fists.

It turned out that Roselyn did not sleep with Davon. It was Jorge who facilitated this cooperation! “Dad, you don’t have to worry too much. Davon is a fierce and ruthless man. He wouldn’t care about the ordinary friendship between him and Jorge!”

“Helping Roselyn solve this project would be the end of their friendship!”

Jeffery nodded.

He knew a lot about people like Davon. Davon cared about reputation. This time, he helped Roselyn as a token of requiting favors. In the eyes of outsiders, he was then a grateful person and this would win him good fame.

However, Davon would not protect Jorge all the time!

Jorge made him lose face, so he must get even with Jorge! “Is everything at the construction site prepared?”

“Dad, don’t worry. Everything has been arranged properly. That slut Roselyn will soon understand that taking this project is her biggest failure!”

George sneered in a low voice, his vision growing vicious
