MY UNKNOWN HUSBAND, VOLUME 3 - Season 6 Episode 61

John and Tim both adopted solemn expressions on their faces as they stared at each other. The others didn’t dare to breathe heavily.

Only the soft song could be heard in their ears. The girl’s hand holding the microphone was shaking uncontrollably. Her heart was in her throat, and she didn’t dare to stop or make any sort of mistake.

“What’s your name? That’s quite a good song.” Tim turned his head and looked at the girl, only to find her whole body trembling. He impatiently barked, “I just praised you, but you’re shaking like this. Get out of here and find someone else to sing.”

Rather relieved, the girl ran out with her head down.

Now all that played was some quiet background music floating in the room.

“Please sit,” Tim said, looking at the people in front of him as he waived his hand.

John and Adrian did as they were told. With a cold expression on his face, Richard stood beside them.

“You’re quite annoying. Go to the corner. I’m not going to hurt your boss,” Tim told Richard. Richard didn’t move a muscle. He would only follow John’s orders.

John’s and Tim’s eyes met again and rather surprisingly, they were calm.

It seemed that Tim didn’t want to offend him. “Richard.” John spoke up. As expected, Richard understood and backed away slightly.

A smile appeared on Tim’s face. He lit a cigarette and puffed out the smoke.

“John. I’ve heard a lot of things about you. Your name seems to strike fear into many people. I thought you were quite impressive. After I look into you, I found I was wrong. You just have a good family background and a handsome face. And many women want to have sex with you,” Tim began.

Born to a gangster lifestyle, Tim grew up killing people with lawless criminals. The only reason he was alive was because he constantly risked his life.

Both his manner and words were very obscene. Just as what Henry said, he was a ruthless man.

John frowned but swiftly relaxed his eyebrows once more. He’d just wait and listen to Tim.

John and Tim were actually quite different. John was known to have deathly cold eyes and a frightening aura while still being respected and noble.

Tim had no such balance. He was cruel to the core.

Even if John was cruel, he still had a righteous aura about him. Tim was like a devil, shrouded by cruelty.

That could be seen by the thugs he surrounded himself with.

His two subordinates on the sofa flirted with their women. They were fat and ugly. They even carried cash to flaunt their wealth. When the women made them happy, they would slip money into their bras.

They whispered in the unusually quiet room.

Tim reached out and pinched the buttocks of one of the women. “Go and ask two beautiful women to come over and serve Mr. Shi and Mr. Song.”

“No, thanks,” John finally said.

The killing intent flashed in Tim’s eyes. “What’s wrong? Are you impotent? Or are you afraid that your wife will find out? Women shouldn’t meddle in men’s affairs. If my woman dares to meddle in my affairs, I won’t hesitate in teaching her a lesson.”

Tim glared at the woman, rushing her to follow his orders. “Go and call them in.”

The woman walked towards the door, twisting her waist.

A sharp light flashed across John’s eyes as he coldly retorted, “I’m not like you. These women are dirty in my eyes.”

“You!” Tim was beginning to lose his patience.

John said he was not like Tim and the women here were dirty.

He seemed to hit Tim where it hurt most.

The more people spoke, the more they revealed about themselves. John let Tim speak so that he unraveled his layers and found where to strike.

Business was like a battlefield. Every word they said was like a bullet. If they wanted to get the decisive shot, they had to do it precisely.

Tim hated John saying something like that, and he sneered. “Then all of you can get out. We have nothing to talk about.”

“Please don’t!” Adrian held down John’s hand and tried to ease the tension. “Mr. Shi has his wife to think about, but I want those beautiful women. They’re just my type.”

Richard thought that if Henry heard this, he would definitely be heartbroken.

“How many do you want, Mr. Song?” Seeing that there was someone on his level, Tim was willing to give them a second chance.

His position in the Lexingport City was not stable yet, and he couldn’t offend John. If it weren’t for the fact that Vivian saved his life and he had to repay her, he wouldn’t even think of making John his enemy.

A businessman would rather lose ten friends than have one more enemy.

Adrian smiled, “I only have two hands. I can’t hold more.”

“I like you, Mr. Song.” Tim talked to Adrian nicely, but as soon as he turned to the woman, he was as cold as ever. “Why are you just standing there? Bring them in right now!”

The woman rushed out obediently.

In minutes, she came back with three women. One went to sing, and the other two sat next to Adrian.

The woman who was singing was wearing a blue slip dress. She was the one who was staring at John on the dance floor. Her skirt was short and she stroked her hair in coquetry while singing.

The song was not pleasing to the ear, and her gentle voice wasn’t as clear as the previous woman’s. She was like a prostitute.

The strange thing was that she looked nobler than the other prostitutes, but she was as cheap as them in John’s eyes.

She kept glancing at John from time to time, every look more seductive than the last.

John frowned and got straight to the point. “Tim, where is Howard?”

“You don’t like woman. Then what about wine?” Tim didn’t seem to hear John’s question, and poured a glass of wine. “Are you going to drink? Perhaps you want to smoke? Don’t tell me you don’t drink or smoke.”

Tim handed him a cigarette. “I’ll answer you as soon as you take it.”

“Tell me first.” John didn’t even think about reaching out.

He kept level-headed and refused to be influenced by anything in the surrounding environment. He was always a man of few words and he sat calm and dignified, being the impressive man everyone knew him to be. With his contrasting behavior, the surrounding people looked somewhat despicable.

“You are really boring. You don’t always have to look down on everyone else.” Tim threw the cigarette on the table, took another out and lit it.

After taking a drag on his cigarette, he said, “I don’t know exactly where Howard is. You have to ask his daughter, Vivian. He decided to go with her. How am I supposed to know where he is?”

The fake smile on Adrian’s face immediately disappeared. ‘Is he making fun of us?’

“Mr. Shen, you said that as long as Mr. Shi came to see you, you would tell us…”

Tim raised his hand and interrupted Adrian. “Hey, Mr. Song. I said that only John were qualified to meet me.

I didn’t say I would tell you where he is.” Adrian was speechless because what Tim said was right.

With a smug smile, Tim took a sip of wine. “Where is Vivian?” John had known from the very beginning that it was Vivian who wanted to see him.

After a pause, Tim turned to the woman who was singing and sneered.
