Chapter 93 The Opening Of The Bar
Jennifer woke up at half-past six in the morning the next day while Jonathan was still asleep.
Jennifer was quite worn out last night, so she went to bed early. After waking up, she intended to wash
their clothes first, then make breakfast. Their house, located in the city center, had been wonderfully
renovated. From the balcony, they could see passing cars and people living their lives. Jennifer
enjoyed this very much.
After washing up, she headed to the bathroom to find Jonathan’s dirty clothes on the washing machine.
She was amused because Jonathan did not include his underwear in the pile of dirty clothes. It seemed
there were times when he felt shy too.
Actually, Jennifer did not mind at all.
She first submerged Jonathan’s shirt in warm water. Then, she turned on the washing machine to wash
her undergarments separately.
Just as she picked up her underwear, she found something strange. There was a sticky substance with
a fishy smell.
Upon further inspection, she realized what it was.
She immediately blushed.
Jennifer did not need to ask to know what happened. She was a married woman with a daughter. She
understood what happened when a man had some sexual urges. However, she did not think Jonathan
could be so absurd.
An inexplicable feeling rose within Jennifer. She felt anxious and embarrassed, but she was too shy to
question Jonathan.
In the end, Jennifer soaked her underwear in water and pretended nothing had happened.
Meanwhile, Jonathan was still sound asleep. He did not know that women washed their underwear
separately. Instead, he thought Jennifer would wash all the clothes in the washing machine, therefore
he wasn’t worried about leaving evidence.
He had no idea what would happen.
Three days later, Jonathan received a surveillance camera from Mabel. It was a delicate item which
could be attached to the wall in whatever way he liked.
The color of the small surveillance camera could change according to the light. When the wall was
white, it could change to white too.
The surveillance camera would not emit any light when the lights were turned off, but its performance
at night was rather satisfactory.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJonathan was excited and quite impressed by modern technology.
He bought a laptop and connected the surveillance camera to it. Later, he found a spot in the bathroom
to secure the camera.
When Jennifer showered at night, he took out his laptop to enjoy the show.
Days went back to normal.
Of course, this was a brief, happy interlude.
The horror-themed bar was still under construction. It was going according to plan. The original boss of
Golden Years, Dilbert, felt incredibly regretful for selling the shop off for two million. It was an immense
loss for him. He contacted Jonathan in hopes of getting more money. Jonathan had the right to reject
Dilbert, but he was a merciful person. Instead, Jonathan promised Dilbert that he would give the man
another one million if the horror-themed bar made money in the future.
Jonathan also said, “It’s not like I hit the jackpot, Mr. Jacobus. Captain Johnson and I almost lost our
lives dealing with the vengeful spirit. You can ask her about it.”
Regardless, Dilbert was more than happy to be promised one million by Jonathan. He knew Jonathan
had a close relationship with Amber, and she had connections everywhere. Dilbert could not make a
ruckus even if he wanted to. It would be like pushing water uphill with a rake.
Jonathan would always try his best not to infuriate anyone. He was always thorough in whatever he
did.
It would be up to fate if things did not go his way.
Two months passed in a blink of an eye.
By mid-September, the weather in Horington was just as humid.
On the day of the official opening of the horror-themed bar, the sky was blazing at five in the afternoon.
The horror-themed bar had undergone a magnificent renovation. It seemed really stylish and
mysterious. It managed to attract a large group of youngsters on the day it opened for business.
Many luxury cars were parked outside the bar. They were all friends invited by Amber, Yasmin, and
Polly.
They came with congratulatory baskets.
Even the secretary of the city council of Horington came to the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The chief of police and other officials were also in attendance.
Each official was ranked higher than the last.
They had all come to pay respect to Amber.
They could not stay in the bar for long, so they left after the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Their arrival warned all the trouble-makers that the bar was backed by high authority, and that they
should think twice before causing problems.
As a result, no foolish gangster would come to the horror-themed bar to demand protection money.
No one would dare to use underhanded tricks out of jealousy.
It served as an effective deterrent.
After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the bar hosted three events.
Firstly, they declared cold beer and fruit free of charge.
Secondly, they had invited the most famous band to perform.
Thirdly, a popular singer graced the bar with their presence and even held a mini-concert.
It was a wild night in the horror-themed bar.
Jonathan also prepared smoke effects from the second floor of the bar. He had also filmed Felicia’s
tragic love story.
The wishing well turned out to be a magnificent structure.
The mystery behind Felicia and Golden Years was uncovered in a single night.
In the story, Felicia was a passionate woman. After Gabriel hurt her, she held the grudge for years.
Upon completing her cultivation, she killed Gabriel. However, she still believed in love. Whoever came
to her wishing well with their cherished lover, Felicia would give them her blessings.
The bar got too crowded that night. Amber had to call the police to maintain order.
The horror-themed bar was also a place for the broken-hearted. They had released an assortment of
drinks based on what it felt like to be in love, in bliss, or fall out of love, as well as other human
emotions. It quickly attracted many youngsters.
In addition, the high-class music increased the popularity of the bar.
In terms of pricing, Jonathan charged twice the price of other bars.
After all, they were aiming to become a high-end bar, which of course meant producing high-quality
products.
They wanted the customers to feel special when going to the horror-themed bar.
The bar earned one million and five hundred thousand in total that night.
The revenue was shocking, as many popular bars would take a month to earn one million and five
hundred thousand, and that was considered good business.
Jonathan and the others were not surprised. That much was expected.
The hard part was the need to produce the same results in the days to come.
After all, the profits they made that day were admirable.
The next day, business was not as good as the first day, but they still managed to take in one million.
For the entire week, their profits remained at one million each day.
Without realizing it, the horror-themed bar had become an iconic place in Horington.
It was an excellent topic to bring up when talking about notable travel destinations.
A month later, the business had stabilized.
New customers visited the bar every day.
Moreover, the wishing well and the special drinks were astonishingly popular.
Their daily income was fixed at about one million and two hundred thousand.
Jennifer calculated their gross income for the month, which summed up to thirty-five million.
Maintenance fees and other expenses cost about twelve million, which meant they earned twenty-three
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmillion in a month.
It was a huge amount of money. It could even be considered a miracle in the history of bars. No other
bars could replicate such a result.
However, Jonathan knew their business would become slightly worse after everyone had gotten bored
with the mystery of the horror-themed bar, but it would not be too bad.
Jonathan called for a meeting with the shareholders after they had calculated their revenue.
He spent ten million on the bar’s extensive maintenance fees.
Then, from the remaining thirteen million, he took out nine million and divided them between Polly,
Jessica, and Yasmin.
The three had each invested seven million, but Jonathan couldn’t return all the money at once.
Regardless, he was confident he could return the full sum in another two months.
The three girls gladly accepted the arrangement.
As for the remaining four million, Jonathan returned the capital to Amber.
That left him with three million and seven hundred thousand.
Jonathan distributed the money to six portions. Each person received a bonus of six hundred and ten
thousand. Jonathan accepted the extra forty thousand happily.
Jonathan had explained at the meeting that he had promised one million to Dilbert. He would take a cut
off the bar’s income. Everyone agreed.
After the meeting, Jonathan invited everyone to a meal. The group drove straight to a hotel joyfully.
Everyone felt like they were one big, happy family.
In fact, Jennifer was the happiest one among them as she received six hundred and ten thousand in
cash, which was money that genuinely belonged to her. She knew she had a bright future, and she
could see herself being happy. She felt like she had turned into that princess again.
After the meal, Jonathan and Jennifer drove home.
Jonathan drank a lot of wine and flirted with beautiful women. He was living his best life.
It was eleven o’clock at night when they got home.
Jennifer was excited too, but she did not consume any alcohol because she needed to drive Jonathan
home. However, she craved some wine when she got home. She opened a bottle of wine, got out the
wine glasses, and invited Jonathan to join her.
Jonathan was more than happy to accompany her as he noticed how content Jennifer looked. He
thought she resembled a seductive and confident young woman.
Yet, she differed from other ladies because of her maturity.
The two sat facing each other at the bay window on the balcony on the eighteenth floor. They could get
a bird’s-eye view of the brightly lit houses and the bustling city of Horington.
Jennifer had on a beige suit. She wore her hair in a tight bun, which made her seem businesslike.
She offered Jonathan a toast. Sincerely, she said, “Thank you, Jonathan.”
He smiled. Their glasses clinked.
Then, Jennifer leaned against the railing of the balcony. Her face was bright red as she announced
from the bottom of her heart, “This feels good, Jonathan. Every day, I feel like the sky is so blue, and
everyone seems happy. I can do what I want and buy what I like. I don’t need to think about not having
enough money too. Besides, I earned every single penny through honest work. It feels great.”
