âWe can just go by ourselves, why bring him along?â
Vivian Shimpson felt somewhat displeased seeing Greg Jensen was also coming.
Louisa Burley smiled and said, âThe more, the merrier. Otherwise, itâs just the two of us, what fun is that?â
âFine.â
Vivian Shimpson looked at Louisa Burley, sighed, and grudgingly agreed.
The four of them took a car and arrived at Tianhe KTV.
Talk about coincidence, this KTV was owned by the Carter Family. As soon as they walked in, they saw Theo Carter standing to the side, talking to a beautiful waitress.
âTheo, hitting on girls again?â Spencer Burley said with a chuckle.
Greg Jensen frowned slightly and asked in a low voice, âSince when did you two become so familiar?â
Spencer Burley replied, âMan, ever since we met that day, this kid got himself a membership card for the club. Heâs been running there every other day. It would be hard not to become familiar.â
At this moment, Theo Carter heard Spencer Burleyâs voice, turned his head, and upon spotting Greg Jensen, he immediately became excited.
He wanted to greet Greg Jensen but was afraid that Greg would be annoyed; he hesitated for a moment before mustering up the courage to approach.
He bowed his head respectfully to Greg Jensen as a greeting, and then turned to Spencer Burley with a smile:
âMagnus, why didnât you give me a heads up before coming? I could have reserved a big room for you.â
âHaha, thereâs just four of us, we donât need a big room. Any room will do.â
âAlright, then come with me, Iâll personally take you upstairs.â
After saying that, Theo Carter stole another glance at Greg Jensen, relieved to see he didnât seem angry, then turned and led the four into the elevator.
âThis medium room isnât usually open to the public; itâs reserved for entertaining our own friends. You guys can use this one.â
âOkay, thanks,â Spencer Burley said with a smile.
âWhy be so formal with me? Alright, you guys sit tight for a bit, and Iâll have the waitress bring up the food soon.â
âSure thing.â
Theo Carter smiled, subtly glanced at Greg Jensen again, then turned and left.
Vivian Shimpson watched Theo Carterâs retreating figure, a look of confusion on her face, and asked, âMagnus, was that Wallace Carterâs son just now?â
âYes, it was. What about him?â Spencer Burley asked curiously.
âNothing.â
Vivian Shimpson looked at Greg Jensen and lightly shook her head, then pulling Louisa Burley to a corner, she asked in a low voice:
âWhy do I feel like Theo Carter was acting a bit strange just now?â
âStrange in what way?â
Louisa Burley looked at her with surprise and replied blankly, âI thought he was quite warm and enthusiastic.â
âNot that.â
Vivian Shimpson, looking at Greg Jensen, said softly, âI think Theo Carterâs gaze towards Greg Jensen was a bit strange.â
âReally? I didnât notice.â
Louisa Burley looked at Greg Jensen as well and smiled, âMaybe they know each other.â
âNo, I think itâs more than just knowing each other.â
Vivian Shimpson shook her head, âThe way Theo Carter looked at Greg Jensen, it clearly carried a sense of fear.â
âReally?â
âYes, if Theo Carter wasnât afraid of Greg Jensen, why wouldnât he make proper eye contact? Why look at him with that fearful glance?â
Hearing this, Louisa Burley became stunned and blankly replied, âI didnât pay attention just now, but even if heâs afraid of Big Brother Greg, it shouldnât matter, right?â
âItâs not like you havenât done anything wrong, so you donât need to worry.â
âIâm not worried, I just think itâs a bit strange, thatâs all.â
âNo need to find it strange, letâs hurry up and choose some songs.â
Louisa Burley smiled and dashed off to select songs.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Watching her happy demeanor, Vivian Shimpson silently resolved that she must take the time to properly advise her to keep away from Greg Jensen.
She glanced at Greg Jensen and muttered under her breath with a cold snort, âLouisa is such a pitiable person, and yet you still deceive her, scum!â
Greg Jensen, sitting off to the side, didnât notice Vivian Shimpsonâs expression, and even if he had, he wouldnât have cared.
At that moment, he was intently listening to Louisa Burley sing, his face adorned with a faint smile.
It must be said that both girls sang very well, and they were microphone dominators, singing one song after another.
Greg Jensen really wasnât very good at singing, so when he went to KTV, he was purely there to enhance the atmosphere. On top of that, he was too lazy to get involved with Vivian, so he just sat there drinking.
As for Spencer Burley, he could only accompany Greg Jensen in clapping and keeping rhythm.
Both men were somewhat bored. They exchanged glances and simultaneously went out to the corridor to have a smoke.
Just as they got to the corridor, Theo Carter popped out from nearby, with an extremely tactful gesture he pulled out cigarettes, offering one to each of them, and then helped them light up.
His respectful attitude was something not easily emulated by the average person.
Three grown men stood there in the corridor smoking, Theo Carter casually chatting with Spencer Burley, occasionally addressing Greg Jensen with the utmost respect, as if he were facing his own father.
His manner caused the passing waitstaff to be secretly shocked, each speculating about Greg Jensenâs identity.
Right then, Vivian Shimpson came out to make a phone call. When she saw Theo Carter nodding and bowing in the distance, she stopped in her tracks.
âWhy is Theo Carter so respectful toward Greg Jensen?â
Vivianâs mind raced, and she quickly arrived at a possibility, âHuh, still denying heâs a liar? If he hadnât lied and deceived Theo Carter, why would the Carter Familyâs young master be so subservient?â
Watching Theo Carterâs obsequious smile, her suspicions grew stronger and she even pieced together a life trajectory for Greg Jensen.
She figured that after Greg Jensen regained his faculties, he began to pretend and swindle, slowly accumulating worth, before returning to Jamae City.
First, he tricked Theo Carter, then through Theoâs connections, got in touch with Spencer Burley, and finally managed to enter the Burley household, deceiving everyone there.
âDamn swindler, Iâll expose you sooner or later!â
Vivian clenched her teeth and turned back into the private room.
Inside the room, Louisa Burley was singing.
Vivian paused the music and said, âLouisa, you must be very careful in the future. No matter what Greg Jensen says, you cannot believe him.â
Louisa looked at her in surprise and asked, âWhat happened?â
âI just saw Theo Carter nodding and bowing to Greg Jensen, like he was in front of a direct boss.â
âThat⦠maybe theyâre just messing around?â
Louisa tried to explain for Greg Jensen.
Vivian frowned and said, âLouisa, do you think thatâs possible? Theo Carter is one of Jamae Cityâs second-generation elitists, but what about Greg Jensen?
Heâs just a college student from the countryside, and he hasnât even graduated yet. What standing does he have to make Theo Carter bow and scrape like that?
If heâs not a liar, tell me, how did he manage to do that?â
Louisa, who had always been sheltered and of a kind disposition, was not adept at argument, and for the moment she didnât know how to respond.
âAnyway⦠anyway, I think Brother Greg is a good person.â
âOh, youâ¦!â
Vivian was thoroughly frustrated, looking indignant. Once she calmed down, her expression suddenly changed, and she gazed intently at Louisa, asking, âLouisa, tell me the truthâare you falling for Greg Jensen?â
