    The God of War Chapter 27


    Reston District.


    Aleena helped Albert to bask in the sunshine in the small square.


    Many neighbors pointed at them.


    “Well, Aleena, why did youe out today?”


    A middle-aged woman who was about the same age as Aleena ridiculed, “By the way, I heard that


    Jorge is back? Does he live here?”


    Aleena forced a smile, extremely disgraced.


    Jorge was such a good-for-nothing. If he didn’te back, they could think he was dead. But now, the


    whole family was embarrassed because in one night, the news that he was back spread all over the


    district. She even went shopping secretly, fearing that she would be caught.


    “Go home!”


    Being displeased, Albert pulled Aleena up.


    “You’re leaving so soon? It’s such a big matter and you don’t even hold a wedding ceremony. Why


    don’t you hold a banquet?”


    “By the way, how is Jorge now? He has been out for so many years. Where does he work now?”


    Aleena said in a bad mood, “What a busybody!”


    The woman turned a deaf ear to her and giggled, “Hey, what are you angry about? Am I not allowed to


    talk about it? So you know shame, right?”


    Obviously, she was looking for trouble.


    It was amon practice to keep up with the Joneses. Besides, in the Reston District, she was the


    best at gossiping.


    Aleena was so furious that she was gasping for breath and red at the woman.


    “What? re at me? Even if your eyeballs pop out, Jorge is still nothing!”


    Aleena trembled with rage, and she turned to leave, intending to ignore this unreasonable woman.


    “Hey, don’t go. When Roselyn divorces Jorge, I’ll introduce her to another good man…”


    Seeing that Aleena was weak, the woman revealed a triumphant smile.


    Rumble came from somewhere.


    It turned out to be the sound of a dull and powerful engine. A red Porsche stopped in front of the


    woman. The body of the car reflected the ring light under the sun, dazzling her eyes.


    She had just rubbed her eyes when she saw Jorge and Roselyn open the door and get out of the car.


    She was confused.


    “Mum, we are back.”


    Roselyn called out upon seeing Aleena.


    “Wow, it’s Roselyn. I thought my eyes were blurred!”


    The woman sneered, “Where did you borrow the car? Return it quickly. You can’t afford it if you scrape


    it.”


    She knew Porsche. Among her rtives, one who got money from demolition bought a Porsche too.


    With handling fee, it was worth more than a million!


    Roselyn earned little money that she couldn’t afford it! Roselyn was frozen and did not know how to


    respond.


    “I gave the car to Roselyn,”


    Jorge said indifferently.


    The woman was dumbfounded and shocked on the spot.


    Jorge bought it? Didn’t he juste back a few days ago? Rumors had it that he couldn’t even afford a


    meal when he was out there.


    “It was bought by Jorge. He felt that it was not safe for me to drive a new energy automobile to work.”


    Looking at the woman, Roselyn said softly.


    The woman was more perplexed. Jorge should buy such an expensive car formuting! Wasn’t he a


    lame duck even without a job? Where did he get so much money? “Well, what are you talking about


    with Aleena?”


    Jorge narrowed his eyes.


    “No, nothing. I … I’m going back to cook.”


    The neighbor, with an embarrassed look, turned around and left. The words she had said to Aleena


    before seemed to be a joke.


    Aleena widened her eyes,pletely shocked. Albert opened and shut his mouth, unspeaking.


    Shock, it was too shocking! They could never imagine that this Porsche, which was distinctive at first


    nce, was bought by Jorge for Roselyn! “Is this car…”


    Aleena hesitated, still somewhat unable to believe it.


    Even Roselyn could not afford it. How could Jorge, who had just been discharged from the army, afford


    it? “Where’s Aleena’s car?”


    Albert frowned. That new energy vehicle was bought after they scrimped for half a year.


    “The automobile store has a scrappage scheme to show gratitude to the regr clients.”


    Jorge smiled and pretended nothing happened.


    Roselyn red at Jorge and thought, ‘This guy was brainless.


    Did he be silly after serving in the army?’


    Albert shook his head with a bitter smile. Aleena also frowned as a sign of not believing him.


    If there was such an activity in the store, Porsche would be parked everywhere! “It was indeed bought


    by Jorge!”


    Roselyn took a deep breath and admitted it.


    She had never lied since she was a child, and now that she told the truth, she immediately felt a sense


    of satisfaction.


    Aleena looked at Jorge suspiciously, her eyebrows still knitted.


    After being a soldier for five years, perhaps … he indeed had that much demobilization payment?


    “Forget it, it’s all about them. Don’t ask anymore!”


    Albert waved his hand. If Jorge hadn’t driven this car here today, that woman would probably have


    predisposed him to heart attacks.


    Aleena wanted to say something more, but eventually shook her head and helped Albert back home.


    “Mum didn’t say anything?”


    Roselyn stared at Aleena’s back, surprised.


    “It doesn’t matter. Let’s go back and eat. I’m hungry.”


    Jorge touched his belly and smiled.


    With his extraordinary eyesight, he could see the ridicule and disdain on the face of the neighbor far


    away, so he drove the car over to save face for Aleena.


    Neither his wife nor his mother-inw could be bullied!


    In the past five years, he had fought on the battlefield at home and abroad. He both once ate bugs to


    appease his hunger in the uninhabited region and enjoyed an exorbitant bluefin tuna feast in the high-


    ss restaurant.


    However, for so many years, he had never eaten a home-cooked meal. Aleena was good at cooking,


    so the dishes were delectable, very much to his liking.


    With an eating manner that was not elegant, Jorge devoured the food merrily.


    Aleena put on a surprised face at the sight of this, her feelingsplicated.


    Although she was unwilling to admit it, he was still her son-inw. He must have suffered a lot in five


    years when he was away from home. “Jorge, I have to ask you.”


    Albert, who was eating with lowered head, failed to restrain his curiosity. He frowned and asked, “Did


    that car really yours?”


    Men had inborn interests in cars. Albert was the same. In his mind, that car was one million! In fact,


    they could never imagine that it was worth more than ten million! “Yes, I bought it. Dad, when your legs


    recover, I will bring you one too.”


    Jorge put down the bowl and chopsticks and smiled.


    The living room suddenly fell silent.


    Albert lowered his head and did not say a word. Aleena nced at him and secretly wiped her tears.


    Roselyn also stopped eating with a depressed look.


    “s, this is an old mdy.”


    Albert smiled bitterly without exining further.


    “Dad, leave this to me! I have arade-in-arms who was injured on the battlefield and had a serious


    fracture. Now he is alive and kicking, and there are no seque left. I will contact an expertter and


    will cure your leg.”


    Albert’s sad eyes lit up.


    But it onlysted for a moment, and the hope in his eyes quickly extinguished again.


    Jorge was just a retired soldier. What kind of connections could he have? “Jorge, are you joking?”


    Roselyn could not help but ask.


    She vaguely sensed that Jorge was not bragging! “Of course!”


    Jorge nodded with a smile. “He should be out of the country right now. I will ask him toe here


    later.”


    “Re … really?”


    Albert was so excited that he suddenly stood up from his chair! For so many years, his injured legs


    exhausted him physically and mentally and he was oftenughed at. If Jorge could cure him …


    Roselyn could be counted as novelxo fast updatemarrying the right person! After dinner, Roselyn


    went to organize the project materials. And Albert returned to his bedroom to take a nap as usual.


    Jorge sat on the sofa leisurely.


    “Jorge, you …e here for a moment.”


    Aleena hesitated for a moment and called in the kitchen.


    Jorge swiftly got up and walked to the kitchen.


    Aleena gritted her teeth and stared into his eyes. “Tell me, after all these years, where did you go?


    Where did you get the money to buy a car? Did you do anything illegal that forced you toe back?”


    “Mum, don’t worry. I am not that kind of person.”


    “I came back to repay Roselyn’s kindness. To protect Roselyn and you.”


    Jorge smiled, his eyes full of sincerity.


    “Why do you want to repay her?”


    Aleena fixed her eyes on Jorge, but his eyes did not dodge. Then, she continued to ask.


    “Because she saved me and changed my life.”


    Jorge thought back to the past and took a deep breath. “A lot of things are not yet time to say, but don’t


    worry, I will tell you in the future.”


    Just as he finished speaking, the bedroom door opened.


    Albert stood at the door and whispered, “I believe you for the time being, but you must not do anything


    out of line to Roselyn. Otherwise, I’ll break your neck!”


    Jorge nodded slowly. “Understood!”


    …


    On the other side.


    The Easton Group, Jeffery’s office.


    “How’s the investigation?”


    Jeffery ced the teacup heavily on the table and asked in a deep voice.


    “Found it.”


    The one standing in front of the desk was Jeffery’s adopted son, George. He gritted his teeth, “Fuck, I


    spent hundreds of thousands to get one of Davon’s men drunk. That’s why I got the information.”


    “Davon used to be a soldier. Back then in the army, he inevitably had some interactions with Jorge!


    That loser should have helped Davon a lot!”


    Jeffery clenched his fists.


    It turned out that Roselyn did not sleep with Davon. It was Jorge who facilitated this cooperation! “Dad,


    you don’t have to worry too much. Davon is a fierce and ruthless man. He wouldn’t care about the


    ordinary friendship between him and Jorge!”


    “Helping Roselyn solve this project would be the end of their friendship!”


    Jeffery nodded.

    He knew a lot about people like Davon. Davon cared about reputation. This time, he helped Roselyn as


    a token of requiting favors. In the eyes of outsiders, he was then a grateful person and this would win


    him good fame.


    However, Davon would not protect Jorge all the time!


    Jorge made him lose face, so he must get even with Jorge! “Is everything at the construction site


    prepared?”


    “Dad, don’t worry. Everything has been arranged properly. That slut Roselyn will soon understand that


    taking this project is her biggest failure!”


    George sneered in a low voice, his vision growing vicious
