Chapter 280 The Watts Family Arrives

"Ms Knight, I'm sorry..." Ava Jones weakly responded.

"Haha, honey, don't blame Ava. You were in the wrong here. You should have called me sooner!" Billy laughed and said.

"Ava Jones did a great job this time. I'll reward her with double the bonus for this quarter."

"Comrade Commander Gardner, isn't this company under my management? When did you gain the authority to speak?" Harleen pouted playfully.

The title "Commander Gardner" was something she had heard from a killer from Tyren last time. She had asked Billy why people called him that, and his response was, "Maybe because I'm handsome." She knew that no matter how much she asked, she wouldn't get a straight answer, so she used those two words to tease him when they were joking around.

Stout, who was standing nearby, almost choked on his saliva when he heard this title.

"Ms Knight, do you know what those two words represent? You can't just casually throw them around. What if a passerby knows the meaning of those two words and gets scared?" Stout thought to himself.

"Can we deduct it from my personal funds?" Billy replied with a smile.

"Mr Gardner, do you even have personal funds?" Ava Jones chimed in, then looked at Harleen. "Ms Knight, they say that when a man has money, he turns bad. You should keep an eye on Mr Gardner's finances."

"Comrade Ava Jones, whose side are you on? Don't you want the bonus?" Billy playfully asked.

"I'm definitely on Ms Knight's side!" Ava Jones stuck her tongue out.

Harleen burst into laughter. "You're becoming quite cheeky!"

Afterward, she turned to Billy and asked, "Honey, have you finished your business at the camp? Your trip to Shenford didn't interfere with your work, did it?"

"No!" Billy shook his head with a smile. "When Ava called me, I had just finished my work and returned to Ozin."

"That's good!" Harleen nodded. "Shall we go have dinner? Afterward, we can return to the hotel."

"Sure!" Billy agreed. "Harleen, you can take me and Stout to a restaurant that serves local cuisine. You and Ava Jones have been eating there these past few days, and the food must be excellent."

"Sounds good!" Harleen nodded with a smile. "I'll take you there."

The restaurant Harleen mentioned was only a ten-minute drive from the hotel. Based on the restaurant's decor and the row of luxury cars in the parking lot, it was clear that this was a high-end establishment.

"Welcome!" As the four entered the lobby, two beautiful women in traditional Chinese dresses greeted them with a bow.

"Hello, do you have private dining rooms available?" Ava asked one of the women.

"I'm sorry, but all the private rooms are already reserved," the woman replied with a smile, then pointed to a nearby window-side area. "However, there's a semi-private booth over there. A guest just canceled their reservation due to an emergency. If you don't mind, you can sit there."

"Honey, what do you think?" Harleen asked Billy.

"It looks good, and we can enjoy the view outside." Billy smiled.

"Okay!" Harleen agreed, turning to the woman. "Thank you. We'll sit over there."

"Sure, please follow me!" The woman led them to the semi-private booth.

Five minutes later, Ava Jones had ordered their meal, and the four of them engaged in casual conversation.

"Harleen, you got off work early today?" After a few minutes of conversation, a woman's voice sounded, and a tall and beautiful woman walked over.

She was a year or two older than Harleen Knight, with a stunning appearance and a noble temperament. Although she might not surpass Harleen overall, she was undeniably a great beauty.

"Hi, Simona!" Harleen stood up to greet her.

"Harleen, don't be so polite. You're the guest, please have a seat." The woman, named Simona Salvage, smiled and then looked at Billy. "Who is this?"

"This is my husband, Billy Gardner." Harleen introduced with a smile.

"Mr Gardner, nice to meet you!" Simona Salvage extended her right hand with a smile. "It's no wonder you captured the heart of Harleen. Mr Gardner, you have an aura of a true leader about you. I can't help but feel a bit overwhelmed."

While speaking, she was slightly surprised. She considered herself someone who had seen her share of important figures, but the royal presence emanating from Billy made her feel the pressure. She was sure that the man before her was no ordinary person.

"You flatter me, Ms Salvage." Billy replied with a faint smile, shaking her hand.

To his slight surprise, Simona Salvage was also a martial artist, and her cultivation level was not weak, reaching the later stages of a Battle Master.

"Harleen, I heard that Mick Watts, that playboy, is causing trouble for you?" Simona Salvage turned her attention to Harleen.

"Thanks for your concern, Simona, but everything is fine now." Harleen replied with a smile.

"The Watts family is quite influential in Shenford, we can't underestimate them." Simona Salvage said with a slightly worried expression. "If you run into any trouble, just let me know, and I'll find someone to help mediate."

"Thank you, Simona!" Harleen smiled again.

"Ms Salvage!" At this moment, a man in black approached with a displeased expression and whispered something to Simona Salvage.

After listening, Simona's eyebrows furrowed slightly. "Have Webster and his men handle it."

"Yes!" The man nodded and quickly left.

"Simona, if you have something to deal with, you can go ahead. You don't need to worry about us," Harleen Knight said.

"Harleen, there's a small problem," Simona Salvage said after a brief pause. "I'll arrange for you to leave here soon."

"What do you mean?" Harleen was momentarily confused.

"Is it because the Watts family's people are here?" Billy smiled and asked.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

"Yes?" Harleen hesitated for a moment. "Simona, is it true?"

Simona Salvage nodded and continued, "And not just one or two. There are quite a few of them."

"What a bastard!" Harleen's eyebrows furrowed.

"Wife, don't worry." Billy reassured her with a smile.

"Besides, he knows we're having dinner here. If you arrange for us to leave, you won't be able to explain it to them. Just let them come in." Billy suggested.

Exhaling a breath, Simona Salvage said, "Alright."

Afterward, she took out her phone and sent a message. Then, she instructed one of the waiters to ask all the customers in the main dining area to leave, with their bills waived.

Soon, footsteps echoed as around a hundred men entered the restaurant. Leading the group was a middle-aged man in his fifties, none other than the second in command of the Watts family, Douglas Watts. He had a robust physique and a sharp aura, indicative of his status as a Battle General.

Mick Watts and the old man followed closely behind Douglas Watts, their eyes flashing with coldness as they looked at Billy. At the same time, a gray-robed old man led a group of forty men through a side entrance and approached Simona Salvage.

"Mr Watts, why such a grand entrance to this small restaurant? What brings you here?" Simona Salvage asked in a wary tone.
