Chapter 268

At the age of twenty-seven, he is exactly the same age as Mister Long Legs! Moreover, he is also from

the Royal City with a mysterious identity…

She only found out yesterday that Mister Long Legs was picked up by a car from the Royal City. Could it

really be him? Or was this just a coincidence?

At this time, the car sent by Lucy just arrived. Naomi didn’t think further, waved goodbye to Susan, and

went to Cezanne.

In the evening, at the Dean family’s mansion.

“Mr Dean, we have been speaking about this partnership for several months. Hough Corp is the

strongest e-commerce company in Gin City. Our financial ability is second to none. It is only in your

advantage to play nice with us. Can’t you make a decision yet?”

Anna was holding a wine glass proudly. Her confidence in her backing by Hough Corp gave her a

domineering and arrogant tone. She was even arrogant enough to assume that all companies in Gin City

begged to partner with Hough. She couldn’t understand why Jack would continue to be entangled with

the affairs of the Dean family for this long.

Dave Dean and his wife stood opposite and their mood turned a little sour. He remarked in a cold tone,

“Secretary Anna, although the Hough family and Hough Corp are strong, it is not our only choice.” “You

can’t find anything better than Hough!” When Anna heard these words, she lost her patience and raised

her voice rudely.

The happy atmosphere suddenly disappeared.

“Anna!” Jack frowned and found a reason to evade the conversation.

“Get me a glass of wine.”

“Sorry.”

Anna apologized, turned around and left with the cup.

As soon as she left, Mrs Dean moved towards Jack with a connotative tone.

“Mr Hough, your assistant has such a forceful personality.”

“She has such a personality.”

Jack raised his eyebrows slightly. He was not one to criticize others openly, but the one doing it was his

guest.

Anna seemed a little different from how she used to behave recently.

“Strange, why did I only see Secretary Anna, but not Mrs Hough?” Mrs Dean enquired.

As Naomi was brought up in the conversation, Jack recalled the events that transpired in the afternoon

and his face sank.

Seeing this, Dave quietly tugged at the corner of his wife’s clothes.

“Isabella.”

Dave Dean lowered his voice and shook his head at his wife.

Mrs Dean immediately understood and hurriedly exchanged greetings. “The dance will start in a while. I

hope you have a good time. I’ll take a rest first.”

“I’ll leave with my wife, enjoy.”

Dave Dean took the opportunity to support his wife and excused Jack. After a while, the music sounded,

and the people around them stepped onto the dance floor in pairs.

Jack stood alone in the crowd, looking lonelier by the moment.

“Brother Jack, do you mind dancing with me?” Anna walked up to Jack with graceful steps, and invited

him sweetly.

Tonight, she was the most beautiful woman in the audience. All men’s eyes were on her. She would not

believe that Jack would not notice!

Jack looked down at Anna. He couldn’t deny her beauty. “If you don’t reject me, I’ll take it as a yes…”

Anna was not embarrassed at all, instead she smiled cheekily and slowly stretched her hand towards

Jack’s shoulder…

“What a view!”

At this moment, an exclamation came from the door, interrupting Anna’s movements.

Jack raised his eyes subconsciously. When he saw that gorgeous shadow, his eyes flashed with

surprise…
