Chapter 1687 Ready For Tonight
âSomebodyâs jealous. Maybe you should find yourself a girlfriend, Juan,â suggested Maya.
âHe canât,â Davin chimed in on his way out of the kitchen.
Juan turned to scowl at his uncle. âNo, thatâs not true. I just donât want one yet. Women are nothing but trouble.â
âTrouble? A woman can keep you company, give you children, and romance with you for the rest of your life, just like what your mom is doing with your dad. Donât tell me youâre not envious of that.â
In response, Juan sneered derisively at Davin. âYou used to call women trouble too, remember, Uncle Davin? What happened? Has Aunt Sheila been giving you a lot of space recently?â
âOf course. She knows Iâve been busy trying to make more money for the both of us.â
âI guess thatâs the only reason she would allow you to stay outside overnight. Otherwise, sheâd make you never hear the end of it.â
âWhat do you know, boy? Thatâs only because Sheep loves me dearly. Thatâs right. She loves me to the moon and back.â
Annoyed, Juan rolled his eyes at his insufferable uncle.
âHow much did you make last night, Uncle Davin? Do you make more than ten million a month?â questioned Kyle.
âThatâs a rookie number. Iâm aiming for twenty million! A group of my friends will be supporting me tonight. You two should ask your friends to come over too. Itâs going to be big! Hey, you might just get something in return if you show your uncle some love.â
âSure. But now I have to get to the office.â After bidding farewell, Kyle quickly took off.
Meanwhile, in his head, Juan came up with a list of friends who he knew would be down for a party before turning to look confidently at Davin. âI know just the right people to bring over, Uncle Davin. You can bet that youâll make good money tonight. Consider that my show of support.â
âI knew there was a reason why youâre always my favorite, Juan, even when you were just a little man. And now youâve finally showed me that I was right to pick you as my favorite. Iâm touched!â
âHold your tears of joy, Uncle Davin. You can thank me when you get your money tonight.â
âThatâs my boy! Itâs time to show me what you can do!â
Seeing how excited the two were, Maya wanted to join in on the fun too. âUncle Davin, can I go?â
âYou sure you want to go? I mean, thereâs going to be a bunch of guys. Maybe you should ask Nina to go with you.â
âOkay!â Maya nodded excitedly.
After leaving Imperial Garden, Davin returned to the hideout, intending to catch some sleep. I have to get enough rest so that I can go all-in tonight. Iâm going to be stinking rich!
However, the moment he entered the place, Davin bumped into someone.
Squinting his eyes, the man realized that it was Skyler. âHey, watch where youâre going!â
âYou were the one who bumped into me!â retorted Skyler.
âI wouldnât have bumped into you if you werenât in my way, now would I?â
âIf thatâs the way you want to play it, I could say you were in my way.â
Unsure how else to riposte, Davin ordered impatiently, âJust get out of my way! I donât have time for you. I need sleep.â
After giving way, Skyler snickered at Davin. âYouâre right about that. You should be well-rested and ready for tonight in case anything happens.â
âWhat the heck is that supposed to mean? If anything badâs going to happen, itâs probably going to happen to you, not me. Iâm not the one with a vengeful half-brother.â
âWeâll see about that,â Skyler scoffed before walking away.
Stunned, Davin could not help but wonder what Skyler was trying to imply.
