Oops My Toyboy Is A Hidden Tycoon

Chapter 278

A smirk curled up Jonathan's lips. "Didn't you actively call me Big Boss and ask me to carry you in the game last night?" asked him in a teasing tone.

Keith's expression changed instantly the moment he heard last right" and "Big Boss. His mouth dropped open wide enough to fit an egg

"Dark Empire: Recreate the Glory", which was developed by Keith's company, was nowadays one of the most popular games across the globe. Though the game was designed by Keith and created by his team, Keith was actually not the best player. "J" was the top player in the national server instead. Keith had been trying to recruit "I" to his e-sports team, but this person was too mysterious and not a professional gamer. Other players all called him "Mr. J

Last night. Keith saw "J" was online and took the rare opportunity to persuade him to join his team. But no matter how he flattered "J" enthusiastically, "J" was aloof and indifferent and merely replied to him a few words before logging off.

Now Jonathan, his longtime nemesis, stood in front of him and claimed that he was right Mr. J Keith couldn't believe it, annoyance and a hint of embarrassment crawled up his face. He screeched, Jonathan, are you messing me?"

Jonathan replied calmly. "Why should I? If you don't believe, I can speak out your name in the game.

"No, no, no, stop it!" Keith suddenly jumped forward and covered Jonathan's mouth with his hand.

Reluctant as Keith was, he had to admit that Jonathan was indeed Mr. J. because that indifferent and arrogant attitude J showed in the game was exactly the same as Jonathan's real-life character.

With his mouth being covered, Jonathan raised an eyebrow and signaled Keith to remove his hand. As there were still many people around, Keith had no choice but to let go,

Jonathan looked at him and said jokingly, "You call me Big Boss now, and I can keep your secret."

Keith's face was completely red, but he stubbornly said, "No way!"

As if not minding his rejection, Jonathan gave a smile quietly.

Cynthia, having witnessed the whole process, had no clue why Keith, who was still confident and almost arrogant minutes ago, was suddenly so nervous and embarrassed merely due to a few words of Jonathan. There was definitely something fishy here.

Judging from Keith's reaction just now, it seemed that he didn't want others to know his name in the game. Out of curiosity, Cynthia poked Jonathan and asked, "What's Keith's name in the game?"

With a hint of a smile flashing across his eyes, Jonathan replied "His name in the game is-"

Keith pulled a long face and threatened, "Hey, I told you stop it. Jonathan."

Ignoring Keith's stinging gaze, Jonathan drawled, "Eat-"

Keith jumped forward as if to cover Jonathan's mouth for the second time. "Jonathan!" he shouted.

Jonathan spoke slowly, like teasing a cat, "Sleep-

"Alright, you win. Big Boss!" Keith finally gave in before Jonathan said the last word.

Keith's cheeks were as red as blood, but his expression had completely changed. Kinda flustered and annoyed as he still was, there was a hint of pleading in his eyes when he looked at Jonathan. 1/4

Chapter 278-

Seeing Keith's response, Cynthia was more curious. She asked quickly, "Eat, sleep, and then?"

Cynthia had a gut feeling there were juicier contents behind "eat and sleep"

But Jonathan raised an eyebrow and said, "I suddenly can't remember." 983%

Knowing Jonathan was sparing Keith some dignity, Cynthia had swallow her burning curiosity and stop asking further. It didn't feel good to hear a half gossip. She planned to ask Jonathan again after she returned home.. Keith breathed a sigh of relief. By now, all his intention to outshine Jonathan tonight had ended up in failure. Worse still, Jonathan got something on him and made him lose face in front of so many people..

He couldn't stay here any longer, so he said fast before running way. I'm going to find Hector and Harvey."

With that, he hurriedly scurried out of the dining room.

Then Cynthia and Ruby continued chatting for a while longer while Sam, Levi and Jonathan went to the study.

Ruby recognized that Cynthia was the little girl who passed her information through eye contact on the bus back in the day. She couldn't help but sigh for the wonders of fate.

Cynthia said regretfully, "I still remember the bunny hair clip you gave me. It's a shame I lost it, and I have no idea where it

went

Ruby held Cynthia's hand and comforted her, "It doesn't matter We're family now. I can give you whatever you like

Cynthia was still a bit dizzy and felt like she was floating in a sweet, unreal dream. She asked, "Ruby, may I ask why you decided to make me your goddaughter?"

Given Ruby already had four kids, Cynthia couldn't figure out why she wanted one more though she was happy to join the Xenos family.

Ruby lowered her head and murmured sadly, "I once had a daughter, but unfortunately she died. Today when I saw you, I felt my daughter would look just like you if she were still alive."

As she spoke, Ruby felt a surge of sorrow and her eyes turned red. Even though twenty years had passed, she still couldn't get through the pain of losing her daughter, and she thought no mother in the world could. Cynthia hadn't expected the truth to be like this. She apologized at once, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to..."

Ruby wiped away her tears and shook her head, saying gently, "It's okay, it's all in the past. Just looking at you makes me happy now. But I see you as my daughter's replacement... I hope you don't mind it." Cynthia said with a smile, "How come? Ruby, you can always consider me her replacement. I'm more than glad to keep you company on behalf of her and do whatever a daughter and a mother can do with you together." A bright smile bloomed on Ruby's face. She said happily, "Great, great! Then how about having some drink with me?"

"What?" The subject changed so abruptly that Cynthia didn't get it at once.

Ruby lowered her eyelids with shyness and explained, "Actually really like drinking, but my doctor told me to quit it due to some health issues of mine and Sam is also very strict. But I'm too happy today and really want a little." Ruby excitedly stood up and held Cynthia's arm. "Cynthia, the best part of the house is the cellar which is stocked with famous wine, including Louis XIII brandy, 1962 Dalmore whisky and Lafite! Oh, I'm already drooling!" Cynthia was pulled out of the dining room with a worried face. Ruby! This might not be a good idea. Sam doesn't want you to drink for the sake of your health. You'd better not drink, I assume." Chapter 278

Ruby replied in disapproval, "He's always overreacting. I know my physical condition better than him. Plus, you can share part of his anger for me if he knows we drink together." Cynthin was speechless, realizing Ruby was using her as a shield Now she started regretting saying those heartfelt words minutes ago.

Keith saw Harvey and Naomi frolicking among the crowd at a glance when he stormed outside.

Harvey patted Naomi's head and joked, "Naomi, why are you so short? You looked like a mini-Batman when you were a kid. but now you're like a dwarf beside Snow White." Naomi shook his hand off and replied angrily, "Get lost! How dare you call me a dwarf?!"

Actually Naomi was 5 feet 7 inches tall, which could not be considered short among the female. But Harvey thought she was a man and thus made fun of her height.

"You're not only short but also thin and weak. Let me think... Right, you're really like a twig man!" Harvey burst into laughter as he finished the sentence.

Boiling with rage, Naomi punched him in the chest and asked aggressively, "How about now, am I still weak"

Harvey clutched his chest and almost spat blood. He grunted with pain, "I shouldn't have looked down upon you. You're still as rude as before and love punching people whenever you disagree with them."

Naomi put a cigarette in her mouth and lit it with a lighter, looking rebellious and cool. "You're also as cheeky as before, always needing a good beating to keep yourself in line."

Keith looked around but didn't find Hector. When he raised his head, he saw Hector standing on the balcony on the second floor and watching the people downstairs.

Keith didn't know Naomi and "his" friends, nor did he intend to join them, so he went straight upstairs to find Hector.

Walking closer, Keith saw Hector leaning on the railing with a gloomy face, apparently not in a good mood.

Keith patted his shoulder and asked, "Hey, Hector, what's wrong?
