Chapter 16 Develop Real Feelings
Asher didn't think it was a pity. He had heard that Alicia had a cruel and arrogant temperament, just like the person in power in the Gibson family.
Moreover, with the Gibson family's status in Elfold comparable to the Larsen family's in Oakpool, she might become even more unruly and lawless.
To marry such a woman would only bring trouble to oneself.
He replied nonchalantly, "It was never my turn anyway. Grandfather intended for Jeff to marry her."
Joyce sneered, "Come on, he is Jefferson, the person your grandfather wants to meet but is not easy to see. So how would he listen to his arrangements?"
"That's true."
Thinking of Jefferson's gaze towards him earlier today, Asher couldn't help but shiver.
The night was slightly cool.
When Albert returned, Jefferson was standing by the window, smoking.
Hearing the sound, he turned around and asked, "Did you send her back?"
His clothes were loose, his desire still lingering, looking disheveled and lazy. Albert even felt a bit embarrassed. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
"I sent her back. She should be back at the Plum Compound by now."
"OK."
Jefferson exhaled a puff of smoke.
Albert couldn't help but say, "You put in so much effort. Why didn't you personally send Ms. Gentry?"
"What a good opportunity to flirt."
Jefferson pinched his cigarette, smiling ambiguously. "Want to flirt?"
"Hehehe."
Albert slapped himself, forced a smile, and said, "I was just talking nonsense, just talking nonsense."
He looked at Jefferson's expression and said, "Ms. Gentry is Asher's fiancée. Although Asher is useless, if this matter is held by Neil, it will be a big deal."
Jefferson glanced at him and asked, "What do you mean?"
"In all the years I've been with you, Jeff, this is the first time I've seen you make a losing deal."
Aside from that, with Darren's profit-seeking nature, if he asked for help, he would definitely ask for a huge favor.
Not to mention how many people were enemies of Jefferson in the Larsen family, and a moment's carelessness could result in a bloody conflict.
Albert tested the waters and asked, " Could you have developed real feelings?"
Jefferson laughed as if he had heard a funny joke. He extended his hand and extinguished the cigarette that was half-burned. "The only thing I'm developing is..."
His lips curled into a wicked smile as his gaze dropped, revealing his decadence.
Albert smiled knowingly and laughed at himself for worrying unnecessarily.
Someone like Jefferson could never have genuine feelings.
However, after Albert left, Jefferson spread open his hand, revealing a hairpin.
He had taken it off Elianna's head himself in the afternoon.
The hairpin was pure black, with only a pearl at the end, like her body, flawless and pure white.
With a flick of his finger, the hairpin flew out the window without leaving a trace in the dark night.
After that day, Elianna and the others stayed at Larsen's house for two more days.
Joyce intended for Asher to gain favor with Brice. But in reality, Asher couldn't even see Brice and could only leave disappointedly.
As they left the entrance of Larsen's mansion, Elianna finally relaxed her anxious mind.
The heavy gate closed behind the car.
The car took her and Asher back to their residence.
Asher didn't leave the car, staring at his phone screen without lifting his head. "I have something tonight. I'll see you directly at the banquet tomorrow."
With a tone that sounded like an announcement, Elianna didn't bother to reply.
In fact, after being mentally exhausted for so long, she just wanted some time alone.
Her phone rang on the way back.
Although its name was ordinary and unremarkable, Elianna looked around as if she were doing something sneaky.
After ensuring no one noticed, she found a secluded place to answer the call.
