That hand was not Jason’s.

Angie was shocked. She looked up and saw Jeremy’s cold face

looking down at her. His sudden oppressive appearance caused her to instinctively back away.

“M-Mister Jeremy!”

Jeremy calmly opened the shopping bag and looked at the clothes inside. They were indeed new since

the tags were still

on them.

‘I guess they’ll work in a pinch.”

Jason looked at Jeremy and smiled. “Jeremy, you’re finally here.”

Jeremy nodded at him and said unsmilingly, “Yeah. Where’s my wife?”

“She’s inside and completely drenched. I was worried that she might get sick so I brought her to the

guest room to dry off.”

“In any case, thank you.”

Jeremy narrowed his eyes and continued, “However, you shouldn’t simply bring another man’s wife into

a room next time. Your kindness is more trouble than it’s worth.”

Jason’s smile froze on his face but then he gave a quick chuckle. “Jeremy, I was left with no choice but

to do that. She looked like a pitiful wet puppy walking around like that. Besides, I wouldn’t have needed

to do that if you didn’t choose to attend to your savior instead of your wife. Don’t you think

so?”

Jeremy’s eyes darkened and after two seconds of silence, he finally spoke, “Our relationship isn’t

something you should comment about. Not when you don’t have any idea what’s really going on behind

the scenes.”

Jason shrugged. “Fine. It’s my fault for being nosy then.”

Jeremy did not say anything else. Instead, he took off the expensive watch on his wrist and gave it to

Angie.

“I don’t have much cash on me right now so please accept this watch as payment for the clothes. The

watch probably costs more than the clothes but if you don’t think it’s enough,

please come to Holden Group tomorrow and my assistant will sign you a check.”

After that, he turned around and went into the guest room that Corinne was in.

Angie looked at the watch Jeremy gave her in a dumbstruck manner. Not only was the watch from

Rolex, but it was from the brand’s 100th Anniversary limited edition lineup. The watch definitely cost

more than the clothes she gave Corinne. In fact, she would need to work a hundred lifetimes to be able

to afford a watch like that.

The watch was just too expensive for her to accept. Overwhelmed, she looked anxiously at Jason and

stammered, Mister Jason, this watch… Mister Jeremy…”

Jason was pulled back to reality and he replied absent- mindedly, “Just take it. That watch will go up in

value in the future, so if you don’t like it, you can sell it then and buy yourself some new clothes.”

Angie examined the watch curiously. “Mister Jason, your lady friend who fell into the pond… Is she

Mister Jeremy’s wife?”

“Yeah.”

“I heard he married a very ordinary woman, but that’s what I don’t understand. How did an ordinary

woman catch his attention so much that he’s willing to give me this expensive watch so that she would

have something to change into?”

“Oh, she’s not ordinary at all,” replied Jason with a meaningful smile.

Angie was stunned. She looked at Jason with a puzzled expression on her face.

‘Mister Jason doesn’t seem like his usual self today. His eyes… They seem to be shining with

excitement instead of indifference
