Edwin became even more languid and composed upon seeing Jack in a state of agitation and frustration.
He casually put his hand into his pocket, and his nonchalant demeanor formed a sharp contrast with Jack's rage.
"I have a stake in this restaurant. I'm hungry, so I just come and have something to eat."
Edwin walked slowly to the dining table by the window and picked up the menu as if he really wanted to order food.
Jack's dislike for Edwin had now turned into hatred." Nonsense! I specifically checked this restaurant, and you have nothing to do with it. Where is the security? Kick him out!"
The restaurant manager instantly came over when he heard Jack's roar.
He looked uneasy, with sweat pouring down his forehead.
"Mr. Brown, just five minutes ago, Mr. Atherton bought the biggest shareholder's stock in our restaurant, so... he really is our boss now."
Jack immediately flew into a rage, and now he understood Edwin's intention.
To ruin his carefully prepared love confession, Edwin
deliberately bought this restaurant!
"What if he's the boss? I rented this place today. As long as the deal is not broken, I have the right to kick him out."
The manager was rendered speechless.
Edwin pulled out a stack of checkbooks from his suit's pocket, filled in a string of numbers on one of the checks, and casually threw it onto the table.
"Here's your penalty fee. Leave now with your junk flowers and ring."
'How dare he mock the flowers and ring I have prepared?* Jack thought.

Joanne also understood Edwin's intention now.
She immediately prevented Jack from doing something recklessly.
"Forget it. Since the boss doesn't welcome us, let's go."
"Okay, I'll find somewhere else to continue." Jack provocatively eyed Edwin.
Although Edwin owned the hotel now, Joanne's heart no longer belonged to him.
Edwin's face changed slightly. He knew that Tail's matter had scared Joanne, but he didn't expect her attitude to suddenly become so cold.
It seemed like their relationship had regressed to the way it
was when she returned to Sapphire City.
She had built a defensive line in her heart against him.
He coldly reminded her, "Joanne, don't forget that you are a married woman now."
"Damn it!" Jack's tone was full of warning. "That's just temporary. Three months later, Jo will be free again. Do you still want to tie Jo with that broken contract for a lifetime?"
Temporary?
Did Joanne really say that to Jack?
A harsh and icy chill filled Edwin's eyes.
He suddenly changed the subject, saying slowly, "I vaguely remember that about six months ago, Mr. Brown created a globally sensational news in Paris."
Upon hearing this, Jack was like he had been caught red- handed, with his eyes ablaze with anger.
"Edwin, shut up!"
"What are you so nervous about, Mr. Brown? I'm just telling the truth. After all, the news can still be checked. You were interested in the new bride of a French movie star and found a private detective to frantically expose that movie star's scandal. The young bride thought she had married the wrong person and divorced him in anger."
Jack couldn't bear it anymore and intended to throw a punch at Edwin.
"You're asking for it!"
Edwin agilely dodged his attack and continued to add fuel to the fire.
"The day after the divorce, you live-streamed yourself making a love confession to her on a small island that you had rented. Since you were so infatuated with her, I thought you would go to any length
to get that woman. However, you soon began to shower my wife with affection!"
Jack failed to hit Edwin with his fist, and he involuntarily stole a guilty glance at Joanne.
