Chapter 16: Don’t Know Her

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Bob, you still like to make things difficult for young girls?”

The few of them looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall man with blonde hair and blue eyes grabbing onto the wine glass.

That person was a full head taller than Jose, which made Jose very displeased.

Jose threatened in a low voice viciously, “Who are you? Don’t ruin things here.”

“Ruin things?” The man revealed a somewhat devilish smile and turned to Bob. “Did Vice President come to Ping City to do certain things?”

Upon hearing this, Bob quickly shook his head.

“Young Master, what are you saying? It’s just a glass of wine. If the young lady doesn’t want to drink it, then she can don’t drink it. It’s nothing, nothing at all.” Maybe it was because of fear or something else, but Bob’s voice was trembling a little.

His flabby double chin also twitched unnaturally.

Anna had attended many such events with her father in the industry, so she could tell that the man in front of her was not to be trifled with.

So she put on a smile and said, “Hello, I’m Anna. May I know your name, Young Master?”

She elegantly extended her hand, and the man raised his eyebrows and shook her hand.

“I am Jason.”

“Jason is the son of our chairman. He came to Ping City to supervise the work and also to familiarize himself with the work.” Bob hurriedly explained, afraid that Anna and the others would say something that irked him again.

“The Young Master of Wansen Group?” Anna and Jose spoke almost at the same time.

There was no news that the Young Master would come, so Anna felt she was really bursting with good luck this time.

However, before she could continue to get close, Jason stood beside Laurie.

“Miss, since you don’t want to drink wine, can you show me around Ping City?” He gave a flawless smile, but there was a hint of doubt in Laurie’s eyes.

When he saw the look in her eyes, Jason moved closer and whispered in her ear, “Or do you want to proceed to drink that spiked wine?”

After saying this, he quickly stepped back to his previous position and smiled guilelessly.

Laurie stared at him with wide eyes. Then she took a deep breath and replied, “Alright.”

“That’s great. Shall we chat over there?” Jason made a gesture of invitation like a gentleman and Laurie walked in front of him.

When he saw the two of them leaving just like that, Jose suddenly felt a little resentful.

He knew long ago that Laurie was always the center of attention wherever she went. He used to feel proud that Laurie was his girlfriend.

However, now that Laurie was no longer under his control, there were actually so many people coveting her.

Putting aside Bob who was next to him, there was now a Jason who appeared out of nowhere?

Anna also saw his expression. She watched the back profiles of the two people leaving intently and began formulating other plans in her mind.

“Beauty, how is it? I saved your life today, didn’t I?” Jason seemed a little smug.

“Thank you.” Jason was a little surprised to hear Laurie say only that. “That’s all?”

“Then do you need a reward? Or do you have anything that needs my help?”

Laurie kept a distance of about one meter from him. She did not think that Jason was a good person.

Nonetheless, he had helped her, so she still had to be polite to him.

Before Jason could think of how Laurie could repay him, he saw Michelle walking over with her arms wrapped around Claude’s arm.

“So you’re here? It took us a long time to locate you!” Michelle’s tone was a little coquettish, but when she saw Laurie beside Jason, her eyes lit up.

“Is this lady your new girlfriend? Your taste has improved!”

At this moment, Laurie’s body was already a little stiff. She tried her best to maintain a smile, but her eyes revealed disbelief.

Michelle was petite, and she held Claude’s arm very matter-of-factly. The two of them were very intimate, and they were both dressed in white. They looked like a real couple.

When she saw that Claude was also here, Laurie suddenly remembered that Alice was still at home. She wondered if dinner was prepared for Alice, but before she could ask, Michelle sensed that something was wrong.

“Darling, do you know this lady?” She looked at Claude with some displeasure.

The other party only spat out three words. “Don’t know her.”

“Well, can’t blame her.” Michelle leaned her head on Claude’s arm. “My darling is just so handsome and charming. Any woman would take a few more glances at him.”

“You’re right. We really don’t know each other.” Laurie suddenly felt a little suffocated in her chest.

She bowed slightly to Jason. “Thank you so much for your help earlier. If you need me to help in any way in the future, I’ll definitely do it without hesitation. However, my grandmother is still at home. I have to go back and cook for her. Please forgive me.”
