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."

Nolan laughed dryly.

"I guess it’s time to make them d o some work."

He put his hand above his head and wanted to get rid o f 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 about people."

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 u p, and she reeked of alcohol.
