Chapter 26

“Hmm, any reaction from Royal City recently?” Jack lazily threw his pen onto the desk and leaned back

on his chair,

If it were not for that incident, he would not have moved to Gin City from Royal City. Gin City was just his

temporary resting place.

“You‘re really getting married at such a bad time. That bunch of people are under the impression that

you’re finally settling down in Gin City, so they have been rather restless

recently.” Philip chuckled lightly before changing his tone.

“But the Quinns, those sneaky b*stards still refuse to believe it. I heard they have sent men to check on

you!”

“Heh, then we’ll give them what they want.” Jack smiled a little with a deep gaze.

“What do you plan to do?” Philip‘s expression turned serious as he asked further.

At that moment, Sean rushed in frantically with a phone in hand.

“Sir! Things are bad! Old Mister Hough is suddenly refusing to undergo the operation. He said unless you

promise him one thing…”

When Jack heard what Sean said, he had a rare look of helplessness on his face. He took over the

phone and said in a low voice, “What the hell are you trying to do now?”

On the other end of the line, Old Mister Hough threw a tantrum. “What, just because you’ve grown up,

you are refusing an old man’s small request?”

“That’s not what I meant…” Jack tugged on his collar. He rarely sounded that patient. On the other end

of the call, Old Mister Hough was going on and on about his request.

Philip and Sean were watching carefully from the side. They were guessing that Jack and Old Mister

Hough were going to start arguing again.

They never expected Jack to agree to Old Mister Hough so quickly!

“Sir, what did Old Mister Hough say?” Sean asked curiously while Jack was looking at Philip.

“He said something useful. It‘s quite rare of him to do so. It‘s just nice! We‘ll give it to the Quinns!”

In the afternoon, at the end of the day for Saint Joseph‘s High School.

Naomi was still baffled. She never would have thought that the employer for her first big case would be

Jack!

“Naomi, what are you thinking? You have been

daydreaming since just now? Are you trying to get out of buying me a hamburger?” Susan waved

her hands in front of Naomi.

“No, I was just thinking about Jack…ah, no!” Naomi had not come to her senses when she

subconsciously blurted out what was on her mind. When she came around, it was too late.

“Ooh, are you in love with Jack Hough?” Susan instantly poked Naomi’s face with a teasing look. “After

all,

Jack is the Prince of Gin City. He is the perfect bachelor. You two are quite the match.”

Naomi was instantly annoyed by Susan’s teasing. She tried to suppress her tone and retorted, “What

nonsense are you rambling about? My taste has always been the same. I only like young guys,

okay!” “Is that so? What type of young guys? Guys like Gary?” Susan narrowed her eyes and continued

pressing on.

“Of course not jerks like him. The guys I like..” Naomi clutched her face and started fantasizing. She did n

ot know why but the teenager from ten years ago appeared in her mind, She had

barely started daydreaming when a limited edition Humer stopped in her path. The car had even honked

at her

The window slowly rolled down, showing Jack‘s chiseled, cold face,

“Get in.”

Before Jack had said anything, Susan had knowingly fun off. Naomi looked at him curiously,

“Why are you here?”

Jack raised his eyebrows. His gaze was dangerous. “I can‘t come?”

Has she gotten brazen? How dare she despise him!

“Uh, of course!” Naomi smiled. She thought since they were in a partnership, he might look for her becaus

of something he needed to discuss. Thus, she got in to the car swiftly.

“Is everything alright?”

Jack said nothing. He reached out and showed her

his phone. On it was a video of Naomi‘s interview that morning

“How did we first meet? Oh, it was extremely romantic. He could not take his eyes off me the first time

he saw me. It was love at first sight for me too…”

“I can‘t take my eyes off you?” Jack looked at her with an ambiguous smile. He slowly enunciated every w
