Chapter 1273

Aaron smiled and said, “That’s enough out of you two. From the way I see it, this invitation is more like

a declaration of war against the boss.”

Both Annie and Sunny looked at him with confusion. “Declaration of war?”

“Yeah! I mean, Jeremy’s the one throwing the party for Miss Sophia, right? So she’s showing off to the

boss. It’s her way of indirectly letting the boss know how good Jeremy is to her that he’s willing to throw

a party for her.”

Annie and Sunny exchanged glances with each other. Suddenly, everything started to make sense to

them.

At that moment, Tommy—unable to stand there and do nothing anymore—walked over to them to

defend Jeremy.

“Please don’t get the wrong idea. Mister Jeremy is just helping out Miss Sophia by inviting some of his

friends to the party. As for the party itself, everything is paid for by Miss Sophia herself. Mister Jeremy

isn’t the one throwing her the party.”

Aaron, Annie, and Sunny looked up at him. Xante, too, shifted her attention from her phone to Tommy.

Annie was the first to speak. “Hmph! Why would Uncle Jeremy invite his friends to the party if they’re

really just friends? Doesn’t he know that his status is different from others? I mean, it’d be so easy for

other people to misunderstand the whole situation if he did that. No wonder Corinne got mad at him.”

Tommy was speechless.

“Annie’s right! Women love to get jealous for nothing! But the fact that Jeremy doesn’t know how to

keep his boundaries with another woman and to help her out by inviting his friends to her party… Well,

I can’t say I blame Corinne for ignoring him. He should learn from me. I haven’t spoken to any other

girls in my school since I got together with Xante. A man should always draw a line without being

asked.”

Xante’s lips twitched. “You do know I don’t care whether you speak with other girls, right?”

“I’d still do it even if you don’t care,” said Sunny arrogantly. “That’s the perk of being my girlfriend!”

Xante could not stand it anymore so she stood up and said, “Please excuse me while I go check up on

the boss.”

After that, she quickly left the living room.

Sunny lifted his chin proudly. “There she goes again. She must be too shy to admit it.”

Annie rolled her eyes at him.

Aaron smiled and took a sip of his coffee before raising an eyebrow and saying to Tommy, “So would

Jeremy be going to Miss Sophia’s birthday party too?”

Tommy nodded. “He would at least drop in for a bit.”

Aaron laughed mockingly. “You know what I hate about him? It’s that he pretends to be this loyal and

loving guy on the surface while he keeps having an affair behind the boss’ back.”

Tommy frowned. “No! I can attest to the fact that Mister Jeremy isn’t that kind of person. He rarely

interacts with other women, and the only reason he’s nice to Miss Sophia is because she did a huge

favor for him in the past!”

“And what’s this huge favor I keep hearing about?” asked Aaron with a curious smile.

“I can’t tell,” replied Aaron seriously.

Aaron chuckled softly. “That just makes everything sound even fishier. Go tell Jeremy to spend the rest

of his life with Miss Sophia and leave the boss alone! And you, stop coming to our home. It’s getting

really annoying!”

Tommy was speechless.
