Chapter 1439
Since Nolan wouldn’t bring any benefits to the businesses in Hewston and Mr. Saldana
had a bunch of spies there and knew enough people, it would be easier for him to take
action on his own turf.
His little tricks were all related to escorts, and a lot of businessmen fell for that. He just
trapped the men for their lust and knew what they wanted.
All he needed to do was to make some arrangements, and he would pounce when the
men had their guards down.
Nolan twirled the teacup around while he stared at the tea swirl. “He owns the big
casino in Hewston?”
Quincy replied, “He owns some shares there but doesn’t interfere so that he can get
out of it easily if something happens.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNolan laughed dryly. “I guess it’s time to make them do some work.”
He put his hand above his head and wanted to get rid of him. Did he think that he
would be powerless just because he wasn’t in Hewston?

The cafe was full as usual.
Elaine went in and ordered a latte to go.
The manager walked out of the employees’ room in an apron. This man who looked quiet was actually quite the
fighter.
He walked toward the cashier register. “Ms. Xavier, here for your coffee as usual?”
“Yes,” She took out her card to pay and looked around, “Looks like it’s pretty busy here.”
The manager gave her the receipt. “The college students are on a break, and that is usually good for business.”
She took the receipt and waited at the side. A few college students came over to ask if the owner was there.
The manager said something to them that Elaine didn’t hear, she noticed that the patrons there were mostly
female students and a few couples.
The cafe was well decorated, so it wasn’t surprising that people went there for pictures, dates, and gatherings.
The owner was also a good-looking and mature man. The younger ladies couldn’t deny his charm.
Ian walked down from upstairs—his black, immaculate shirt matched with white slacks looked exquisite.
The few girls happily walked toward him when they saw him.
Elaine watched everything in surprise.
The manager looked at her and smiled. “Ms. Xavier, Mr. Summer was an instructor in the college a few years ago,
so the students who visit mostly know him.”
Elaine was surprised. “An instructor?”
“Yes, he graduated from the police academy and worked in the force for five years. He was once the leader of the
major crimes unit but was transferred to the highest department soon after. It was a unique job, and he resigned
just four years ago.”
He then explained, “He knew who you are because of old habits. He loves to find out

Elaine didn’t say anything. Her eyes were on Ian, who was still surrounded by the
students.
He didn’t look impatient and was very humble and polite. He would bend lower to listen
even when people were standing around him.
Elaine’s drink was ready, so she took it and was about to leave when Ian called out to
her.
She looked back, and the students were all back in their seats, when she saw Ian
standing in front of her, she smiled. “You’re quite the popular guy.”
“Am I?” He paused and was casual about it. “All my customers are very friendly.”
To him, being popular and people being friendly were two different things.
Elaine smiled.
“Have you sobered up?”
“I’ve slept all night.” Her head ached when she woke up, and she reeked of alcohol.
