Chapter 397: Chapter 395: 395: Marrying Him Isn't Bad_1

Jamae Burley residence.

Louisa Burley’s complexion has been getting better and better, and she has been going out more often. However, in the past few days, she always stared blankly into a corner of the garden, lost in thought for the whole morning.

“Sis, guess who’s here?”

“Mr. Jensen…”

When Louisa Burley heard the voice, she thought Greg Jensen had come and turned around with a face full of surprise, only to realize it was actually Vivian Shimpson who had arrived, and her face immediately dimmed.

“It’s you.”

“Who did you think it was?”

Vivian Shimpson snorted coldly, “Are you still thinking about that useless Greg Jensen?”

Louisa Burley didn’t like to hear him described in such terms and quickly retorted, “Hey, don’t always talk about Mr. Jensen like that, he’s actually very capable.”

“He is useless, isn’t he? Managed to make some money with a restaurant and yet he doesn’t stay there to watch it, nobody knows where he has run off to.”

Whenever Vivian Shimpson mentioned Greg Jensen, she would feel a fire burning in her heart.

She didn’t know why she was so angry; she just didn’t want to see Greg Jensen, nor did she want to hear others mention him.

But as time passed, she occasionally thought of his handsome face.

At such times, she would become irritable.

Especially when she saw Louisa Burley pining for Greg Jensen, she would grow even more restless inside, and also felt an inexplicable tinge of jealousy.

“Speaking of which, it seems like it’s been a long time since I’ve seen Greg Jensen,” Vivian Shimpson said tentatively.

Louisa Burley nodded repeatedly, “Yes, I also don’t know what Mr. Jensen is up to now.”

Spencer Burley laughed, “I heard Brother Greg went to the provincial city a while back for some business, and he has been staying over there. He hasn’t come back much.”

Vivian Shimpson snorted coldly, “Aren’t you his friend? Even you don’t know where he is?”

“Uh…”

Spencer Burley smiled awkwardly. Jaden Ford had in fact often mentioned Greg Jensen to him, but he felt that such matters shouldn’t be disclosed casually, so he had never mentioned it to Louisa Burley.

Seeing that he wasn’t speaking, Vivian Shimpson rolled her eyes at him and sighed, “Ah, I’m so bored. Louisa, why don’t we go out and play for a couple of days?”

“Where to?”

Louisa Burley had become accustomed to staying at home due to her health issues in the past, and even though she had recovered, she had become used to being home-bound.

The few times she did go out, it was always with Greg Jensen.

Upon hearing Vivian Shimpson’s suggestion, Spencer Burley’s eyes lit up, and he smiled, “The Spirits of the Festival is coming up soon with all sorts of floral events. How about we go take a look at that?”

“Great idea, let’s go see the Spirits of the Festival then,” Vivian Shimpson said with joy, “I’ve heard about the Spirits of the Festival before but never had the time to go. This would be the perfect opportunity.”

“Yes, and there’s also something called the Martial Way Tournament. We could go watch the competition.

Plus, Brother Greg is in the provincial city. We might run into him this time around.”

“Really? Then let’s go in a few days,” Louisa Burley’s eyes lit up.

Seeing his sister finally agree to go out, Spencer Burley felt much more relaxed. “You two sit first, I’ll have them bring some fruit over.”

“Mm.”

Vivian Shimpson nodded in thanks, then pulled Louisa Burley into conversation again.

Louisa Burley mentioned Greg Jensen in every other sentence, which made Vivian Shimpson uncomfortable. She quickly changed the subject, speaking mysteriously, “Did you hear? There’s been a big incident recently in the provincial city.”

Louisa Burley asked curiously, “What’s the big event?”

“Heard it was a gathering organized by the Martial Way community, where a guy known as the Magician of Charm got into a fight with someone…”

Although the strength and status of the Shimpson and Burley families were about the same, none reaching the circle of Martial Way noble families, Vivian Shimpson had a wide circle of friends, so naturally, she was much better informed than Louisa Burley.

She promptly described the incident at the gathering in vivid detail.

Louisa Burley listened with great interest, then asked, “That Magician of Charm is too violent, isn’t he? It’s bad enough that he stole from people, but how could he just kill someone so easily?”

Vivian Shimpson gave her a look and said, “What do you know? The situation wasn’t as you think at all.”

“Ah? Then what really happened?”

“The truth is that Curtis Milton, relying on his Healington status, deliberately made those accusations because he wanted to snatch the Magician of Charm’s Elixir Prescription.

When his pressure tactics failed, he had his subordinates initiate a fight with the intention of capturing the Magician of Charm. The Magician only retaliated out of helplessness, which led to the killing.”

Louisa Burley suddenly understood and said, “Oh, I see, so that means… the Magician of Charm doesn’t seem that bad.”

“Bad? He’s clearly a hero, okay?”

There was a hint of longing in Vivian Shimpson’s eyes as she spoke warmly, “In times of danger, he didn’t fear power and authority, and he defeated the villainous elite—that’s a true hero for you.”

Watching the smile on her best friend’s face, Louisa Burley couldn’t resist teasing her, “Vivian, you seem to be smitten again.”

“Get lost, you’re the one who’s smitten.”

Vivian Shimpson gave her a look before continuing, “But, if I were to marry such a man, I really wouldn’t have any objections.

Marrying a hero, just the thought of it makes me feel safer.”

“In the end, isn’t it just that you want to marry him?”

“If I have to marry, marrying him wouldn’t be too bad.”

Outside the door, Spencer Burley returned with a plate of fruit, just in time to hear the conversation between the two girls, and he almost burst out laughing.

One second they’re calling Greg Jensen useless, and the next second they want to marry him. What kind of talk is that?

Spencer Burley chuckled to himself, knowing that while others didn’t know the true identity of the Magician of Charm, the Simmons and Ford families did.

He had learned of Greg Jensen’s actions at the gathering from Tracy Miles, and while he admired him, he naturally didn’t forget to keep his secret.

But hearing Vivian Shimpson’s words was too amusing, and although he couldn’t point it out directly, he found it quite hard to bear.

…

Meanwhile, Greg Jensen brought Chelsea Wolfe to the villa given by the Wolfe family, then called Theresa Locke to invite her over for drinks.

Chelsea Wolfe was petite and quite voluptuous, and being very obedient, when she found out Greg Jensen was inviting someone over for drinks, she immediately called the Wolfe family to send over various food ingredients and beverages.

When Theresa Locke received Greg Jensen’s call, she immediately prepared to head over. However, her sister Doris Locke, who had traveled with him to Qin Province, disapproved.

“Brother, that Barry Wolfe is too bloodthirsty, and he’s also lecherous. Just having a nickname like the Magician of Charm indicates that he’s no good.

Moreover, he just killed an elder and a true disciple of Healington. Getting too close to him will bring trouble to our Locke family.”

Theresa Locke was nonchalant, laughing as she said, “It’s just a drink, what trouble could it cause?”

“Even drinking is not okay!”

Doris Locke glared at her brother and said, “If you become friends with him, and later on he is hunted by Healington, will you help him or not?”

“That…”

Theresa Locke found herself at a loss for words. To say she would help might bring trouble to the Locke family, but to say she wouldn’t didn’t fit her personality.

Doris Locke said sternly, “Forget it, don’t go. After all, we’re the Locke family of Mystic City, we’re not lacking a Grandmaster friend.”
