Chapter 1374 A Scheming Person
“What? That bracelet is the most precious thing to you?”
“That’s right!”
“I don’t believe you. I think that it’s just something you bought somewhere as an accessory, or you prepared it intentionally for a situation like this. It can’t have cost you that much. But you’re smart. You used a cheap bracelet and paired it with such a sad story. That made the bracelet valuable, and my mom fell for it. Tsk, tsk. You managed to make a righteous image for yourself without much effort. I’ve got to hand it to you for being so smart.”
Sally wasn’t even denying Juan’s analysis. Instead, she simply smiled it off.
The latter turned to look at her and asked, “Was I correct?”
“Does it matter?”
“If I was correct, it means that you’re a scheming person, so you won’t be easy to handle. If I was wrong, then it means that there’s something wrong with my observation and analyzing skills.”
“Well, congratulations. You were right, so there’s nothing wrong with your observation and analyzing skills. As expected of Mr. Juan of Seet Group. Here are two thumbs up for you.”
He sighed at the sight of her thumbs. “I knew it. You’re a scheming person with ill intentions.”
“That’s right. So you better be more cautious when hanging out with me.”
“Why? Are you planning to rob me and finish me off?”
“If I was really planning to do that…” As she spoke, the girl suddenly pressed a dagger against Juan’s neck. “Don’t you think this is the best time to rob and kill you?”
What the h*ll! She’s even carrying a dagger with her?
He stared at the blade without a hint of fear on his face and said, “It’s not a good time now. If I were to lose control of the steering wheel now, both of us will end up dead. Is that what you want?”
Sally smiled. “Relax. I was just joking. This dagger is made of sugar anyway.” With that, she broke the dagger into pieces and put it in her mouth.
As Juan watched her crunch away on the candy, he thought that she was either too bored or she had a way of thinking no one else could comprehend.
Otherwise, why would she have made a dagger out of sugar and brought it along with her? Is it because it’s fun or because it’s delicious?
The Maybach came to a stop upon arriving at Sally’s residence.
“All right. You can get down now.”
“Thanks! I’ll come to you when I think of the second request. Also, I’m your girlfriend in your family’s eyes from today onward.”
“Are there any benefits to being my girlfriend?”
By that, Juan meant to ask if there was something Sally wanted to do with the status she had now. Naturally, the latter knew what he meant. She started feigning ignorance and waved the jewelry Nicole had given her before his face. “Of course! There are so many benefits.”
He sneered at her. She was quick-witted, so there was no way he could get anything out of her so easily. With that, he turned the car around and left.
Sally watched as the car left and heaved a sigh when it was finally gone. Then, she turned and went upstairs.
…
Once Nicole was done putting on makeup and had gotten changed, she went to look for Nina. However, she suddenly felt uneasy when she reached her daughter’s bedroom.
Stephen is just getting a little bit close to Nina. Is it really all right for me to meet him with her?
After pondering over the matter, she finally decided that she would come up with an excuse and approach Stephen at the company herself.
With her mind made up, the woman went back into her bedroom.
Surprised to see his wife, Evan asked, “What’s wrong? Did Nina not want you to meet him?”
“No. I haven’t told her yet since I was afraid that she would overthink things and feel pressured. I think it’d be best if I went and met him alone. Don’t tell Nina.”
