Chapter 1070 "What is it?" Daisy asked curiously when she saw Jolie suddenly approach.
"I need to step out for a bit," Jolie replied.
Daisy frowned, clearly displeased. "But the banquet isn't over yet." Jolie hesitated, not wanting to explain, but she knew that without mentioning Gavin, Daisy wouldn't let her leave so easily. "It's for Mr. Cooper," she finally said.
At once, Daisy's expression lit up with delight. "Oh, in that case, go ahead! Handle it well, and don't let Mr. Cooper down." "Got it," Jolie said with a nod, before turning and heading upstairs.
While she made her way up, Gavin informed Terence that he was leaving.
Terence, eager to make him stay, tried his best to persuade him otherwise, his demeanor deferential and eager. Having Gavin attend the banquet was an immense honor, and Terence was desperate to keep him there as long as possible. However, Daisy recalled Jolie mentioning she needed to leave for Gavin's sake, and something clicked in her mind.

Gavin's eyes flickered with interest as he replied, "Is that so? I'll make sure to visit next time." "Great," Daisy said with a smile, watching as Gavin left and got into his car.
As the car disappeared from view, Terence turned to Daisy with a frown. "What were you thinking? Why didn't you try harder to make him stay?" Daisy's eyes glimmered with satisfaction. "Jolie just said she needed to leave to take care of something for Mr. Cooper. Then, right after, he leaves too. Don't you think it's possible they've gone to meet up?"

Jolie left through the back door, got into her car, and had barely driven out of the neighborhood when a location popped up on her WhatsApp.
It was an address for a private club, sent by Gavin.
His instructions were clear once she found a suitable woman, she was to bring her directly to the club.
Jolie rolled her eyes at the message but replied with a curt, "Got it," before continuing on her way.
While driving, she called a friend she trusted and asked for help in finding pure, attractive women for the task.
By the tshe arrived at the club, her friend was already there, waiting with a group of girls.
"What's going on?" her friend asked, grabbing her by the arm. "Why the sudden need to find girls?" Jolie glanced at the group-each girl was different in style and beauty, from curvy to slim, each appealing in her own way.
"I promised someone," she explained simply, keeping her tone neutral. "Did you explain the situation to them? They're all here willingly, right?" Her friend nodded. "Yes, they all agreed voluntarily." "Thanks," Jolie said with a small nod of appreciation.
Her friend smiled. "Don't mention it." With that, Jolie led the group into the club, heading straight for the private room Gavin had specified. Standing outside the door, she took a deep breath before raising her hand to knock.
"Cin," cthe man's cold, indifferent voice from inside.
Jolie pushed the door open, stepping aside to let the girls enter first before following behind them.

Yet, the moment she stepped inside, Jolie could feel the pressing down on eight of his gaze onther-a gaze as unyielding and oppressive as a mountain. Steeling herself, Jolie adjusted her expression and walked over to him.
Keeping her tone calm, she asked softly, "Mr. Cooper, are these to your liking?" As soon as the words left her mouth, she frowned slightly.
Why did she feel like the boss of sshady escort agency parading hostesses for inspection? The thought left a bitter taste in her mouth.
But Gavin didn't seem to care about her discomfort.
"I don't like them," Gavin replied simply.
