Chapter 35 You're Not Worthy
Ruben growled, "Joseph Lee, so many people heard it just now. Do you want to go back on your
word?"
Many people around looked at Joseph with disdain in their eyes. They were willing to admit defeat in
the bet. It was not terrible to lose, but if they went back on their word if they lost, then this person would
have no credibility and no one would like to make friends with such a man.
"He's just a good-for-nothing. Today might be his lucky day. But me kowtowing to him? Impossible!"
Obviously, Joseph intended to welch on.
A cold glint appeared in Atlas' eyes. Joseph had already infuriated him.
Ruben's expression turned cold, and a rarely seen serious expression appeared on his face. "Joseph
Lee, you're serious? If you don't respect the basic credibility between people, then the Kimmerly Family
definitely won't work with such a family in the future!"
"I will make The Ronald Group terminate all collaboration with your family!"
Joseph was on the verge of going mad. He pointed at Ruben and bawled, "Ruben Kimmerly, this is a
matter between Atlas Lincoln and me. Why are you helping him? What do you see in him? He's a
nobody."
"A nobody?" Ruben snorted, "I think you are a nobody. To tell you the truth, Atlas Lincoln is my savior!
You think my father would give the Supreme Violet Gold Card to a nobody?"
His words made Joseph unable to refute.
If Ronald Kimmerly was a nobody, then 99% of the people in the entire Lanceham and even the
Zuthana were probably invisible dusts.
And what did he mean by "savior"? They heard that Ruben was ill a few days ago. Was Atlas the one
who cured him?
"Despicable!" The businessman who bought the second rough stone gave Joseph a cold look, then
stood up and left.
"Shameless!" Following that, another person left. Before leaving, he didn't forget to scold Joseph.
The others also began to accuse him. In the blink of an eye, Joseph became the target of the crowd.
Gavin whispered, "Joseph, just admit your defeat!"
"Gavin, why are you standing on their side?" Joseph said with a disappointed face.
Joseph looked at Tobias for help.
Tobias turned to Viviana, who immediately understood and took the initiative to stand up. Viviana
looked at Atlas and said, "Atlas, just let it go. We are friends after all. You don't have to make such a
fuss. Forget about the bet, okay?"
Ruben shot a cold glance at Viviana and said with a disgusted look, "I say, Viviana, who's your
husband here?"
Atlas looked at Viviana with extreme disappointment.
Ruben said, "Joseph, I'll put an end to this today. If you don't fulfill the bet, even if Atlas forgives you, I'll
terminate our cooperation with your family! If you can't afford to lose, then don't play the game in the
first place! You coward!" NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
Joseph almost couldn't resist his impulse to punch Ruben. This meddlesome bastard!
However, if Ruben really ended their cooperation with their family, his father would beat him to death.
After all, Joseph's father wasn't like Ronald Kimmerly, who only had one son, Ruben. Joseph Lee had
over ten siblings as far as he knew.
Therefore, if the cooperation between the Lee family and the Kimmerly Family was terminated because
of Joseph, he would be so doomed.
After careful consideration, Joseph finally chose to compromise.
"Okay, I'll kowtow!" Joseph roared with humiliation, walked to Atlas, knelt down, and kowtowed with
hatred.
"I was wrong. Please spare me!"
Joseph shouted. At the same time, he secretly cursed in his heart, "Son of a bitch, you're gonna pay for
this in the future!"
Ruben said arrogantly, "That's right!"
"Atlas, let's go. Stay away from these people, or they will find another way to harm you." Ruben was
very direct and didn't give Tobias and the others any face.
"You can leave first." Atlas replied. He had promised Francis that he would take care of Viviana's
safety. Emperor Cosmos would always keep his promise.
"Well, then be careful. Call me if you need anything!" Ruben gave Atlas his phone number, and then
left with the beautiful woman beside him.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to threaten Joseph and the others. "If anyone bullies my savior, they will
be Ruben Kimmerly's enemies!"
As he spoke, Ruben stared at Tobias, suggesting that he was included.
Tobias' face was sullen and he did not respond. To him, Ruben was a clown. No one would argue with
a clown.
Joseph and Gavin didn't respond either. They naturally wouldn't go against Ruben in his presence. But
if Ruben left, they didn't have to be cautious anymore.
Joseph stood up and watched Ruben leave with a gloomy face. He then turned to look at Atlas. It was
obvious that he didn't intend to give up.
At this time, Viviana suddenly walked to Atlas and whispered, "Come with me!"
Atlas glanced at her and did not understand what she meant by asking him to speak alone at this time.
Wasn't she afraid that Tobias would misunderstand?
Atlas followed Viviana to a secluded place, where they stood face to face.
Viviana looked at Atlas, and her face softened a lot. Her voice was no longer full of impatience.
"Atlas, I'll remind you again with good intentions. Don't push your luck. You can't defeat them!"
"And, give me the Blood Jade. I'll keep it for you!"
"Why?" Atlas looked at Viviana, expressionless. His penetrating gaze seemed to have seen through
her.
Viviana avoided his gaze. Suddenly, she did not dare to look into Atlas' eyes!
This had never happened before.
However, Viviana would not let Atlas take the Blood Jade.
"I am your wife. Is this reason enough?"
The corner of Atlas' mouth curved slightly, and his eyes were full of disdain.
"Wife? Now you remember that you are my wife."
His eyes suddenly became sharp. He asked, "In the parking lot, when you were in another man's car,
trying to shove me away, did it occur to you that you were my wife? When they tried to humiliate me in
the mall, you defended for them. Have you ever thought that you were my wife at that time? Just now,
Joseph Lee lost, but he still went back on his word. But you spoke up for him. Do you remember you're
still my wife?"
Although Atlas was questioning her, his tone was very calm. However, every word was like a knife
stabbing into Viviana's heart.
Viviana felt ashamed and quickly argued, "I just don't want you and Joseph to be too awkward. I'm
doing this for you!"
Atlas snorted, "You do this for me? Then let me ask you, Viviana, if I lose, will you stop him when
Joseph Lee asked me to kowtow and beg for mercy?"
"I..." Viviana wanted to say "yes", but in the face of Atlas, a loser whom she had never taken seriously,
she just couldn't force herself to say something to please him.
"You won't!" Atlas answered for her.
"It's just an excuse for you to be self-righteous. You have never regarded me as your husband, so
please don't say that you are my wife! Because you're not worthy!"
