Chapter 430
Marlon Croft realized that Jane Fowler’s good looks and charm were very attractive to men, especially
those like Ford Croft.
If Marlon were not Jane’s subordinate and knew her too well, he would probably fall for her too.
Marlon thought of a famous saying.
It was not a blessing for a man to meet someone amazing at a young age.
His entire life would be overshadowed by that experience and become lackluster.
A graceful lady was a good match for a gentleman.
It was not that Marlon did not like to go after young women.
It was because he had not met someone for whom he was willing to give up everything.
Unfortunately for him, he and Jane were destined to be friends.
Therefore, Marlon did not expect Jane to spare too many thoughts for him.
Jane suddenly frowned but kept it to herself.
She recalled Ford saying the same thing to her in the barbecue restaurant back then.
Jane rejected Ford and mocked him for his height, saying he did not qualify as a contender.
Ford must have suffered from the huge ***********then and lost his self-esteem. He would probably
***Jane for the rest of his life.
Why did he approach Jane again shamelessly?
In some strange way, Jane admired Ford for his misplaced confidence. Even though he was from the
Croft family, he was persistent in his pursuit. It was indeed a “rare” quality.
Just when Jane was about to speak, someone called out.
“Lila!”
It was Connor Luther!
Connor was in a well-tailor maroon suit with a clean-cut look. His angular face was like a marble work of
art by Archimedes. He strode over in quick steps, looking worried.
Connor’s appearance immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
Marlon and Ford might be under the radar for most people.
But it was impossible for anyone not to know Connor Luther.
Connor’s 6-foot-2-inch stature and good looks rivaling A-list celebrities in the entertainment industry were
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtenough to attract anyone’s attention!
In fact, Connor Luther was hailed as the most eligible bachelor in Stormton City, along with Robert
Shane, Hugh Croft, and Henry Fowler.
Connor was the Prince Charming that countless young women dreamed of!
The young women around became infatuated and gazed at Connor admiringly the moment he appeared
in the bar.
They scrambled for a reason to approach him to leave a lasting impression.
Connor was handsome and exuded an irresistible aura, not to mention he was also Luther Group’s future
heir.
Becoming Connor’s lover was a ticket to wealth and glory for a lifetime!
But…
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Connor walked straight to Lila’s side.
He ignored all the beautiful women’s admiring gazes.
“Lila, why are you so drunk?”
Connor’s voice was mixed with more heartache than blame.
The crowd was speechless and watched in silence.
Even Jane was stunned.
However, the look in Connor’s eyes was enough to explain everything.
Although Jane could not be sure if the same gaze would last in the future. His feelings were definitely
real for the time being.
Jane could tell that Connor’s feelings for Lila were not a casual passing.
Even Connor did not realize the spark in his eyes when he looked at Lila.
The twinkling stars in his eyes were only for her.
His gaze was similar to Hugh Croft’s when he looked at Jane.
Lila raised her head and stared at Connor. She blinked her eyes drunkenly. “Eh, Connor Luther, why are
you here? Oh, My head is spinning! No, I want to drink. I want to celebrate! Hey, Janie praised the game
we designed!”
Lila stood up shakily. She staggered and almost fell. Connor desperately grabbed her and pulled her into
his arms.
Connor saw Lila’s crimson face in his arms and sensed the fragrance and soft touch of her young body,
Thump!
Connor’s heart skipped a beat.
An unprecedented feeling welled up in him.
In the past, countless women had thrown themselves at Connor.
But his heart did not waver at all.
Connor was unlike Robert Shane, who did not reject beautiful wornen with hot bodies.
Like Hugh, he would feel disgusted and push them away gentlemanly.
But this time was different.
Connor did not want to push Lila away.
His limbs seemed to be deprived of strength.
He only wanted to imprison the woman in his arms.
At that moment.
Connor finally sorted out his feelings!
Lila, the woman in his arms.
She was his destined woman!
Hiss!
The spectators gasped collectively.
The women gnashed their teeth at Lila; they were envious, jealous, and ***all at once.
They sneered at her for using such a despicable and shameless scheme to throw herself at Connor!
Where did this **come from? She’s so shameless. She was such an embarrassment to the noble
intellectual women around! ********it! They muttered among themselves.
Connor, push this shameless woman away! Are you so desperate that you accept a drunkard ***with no
looks, figure, or temperament to speak of? What was wrong with you? They wondered angrily.
On the other hand, the men in the crowd looked on as if it was a live news flash.
Although they dared not take photos, fearing that Nightshade Bar had surveillance cameras and Connor
would pursue them mercilessly if he found out anyone recorded him secretly. The guilty would probably
die a regretful death when Connor was done.
However, Luther could not care less that the crowd watched excitedly as if it was a daytime TV drama.
A big shot’s dubious moments were the most scandalous! The crowd looked on with interest.
They were glad to have made a killing by coming to the bar today!
“Lila, you’re drunk now. You can’t drink anymore. I’ll take you to the lounge to rest.”
Connor was about to take Lila to rest and sober up.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe did not expect what followed.
Lila suddenly screamed.
She threw up violently.
Connor’s expensive custom-made suit was damaged by her vomit instantly.
Jane held her forehead and sighed.
“Lile Sutton, you ***!” she thought.
“You embarrassed yourself!”
The crowd was stunned and looked on without a word.
Well…
What was going on?
Were they seeing things?
They had initially thought it was just a plot from a TV drama.
No one expected it to play out in reality.
A woman threw up all over on the tyrannical president.
She would probably be reduced to ashes in reality.
Lila instantly awoke after throwing up.
Her alcohol tolerance was good, to begin with.
However, the “Mona Lisa” drink was too strong to be consumed in one gulp.
Lila felt her brain being fired on the inside while being tender on the outside. Lila Sutton woke up
instantly after vomiting, feeling much better.
She recalled being drunk and throwing up all over Connor.
Lila wished she could dig a hole instantly and hide in it.
She was so dead!
“Uh, Connor, is your suit costly? I… I’ll compensate you.”
Lila’s voice trembled uncontrollably.
+
B
Lila was aware of the price of an expensive tailored suit for a president at a top-notch company.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars were considered entry-level.
Fuck! Lila’s yearly bonus and pocket money only added up to tens of thousands of dollars.
She would take more than ten years to pay for Connor’s suit.
The thought of having to bear hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt before she could even start her
career made Lila sad. Life became long and hard before her.
She was suddenly filled with despair.
