Chapter 728
Married at First Sight
âMrs. Lewis wants Duncan to marry a woman whose family has at least several billions of dollars in assets. She thinks thatâs the kind of woman who is worthy of Duncan.â
Duncan himself had a net worth of tens of billions of dollars.
Mrs. Lewis felt that her youngest son was excellent in every aspect except for his scarred face. Since her son was so outstanding, only an equally outstanding woman would be worthy of him.
Josh thought Mrs. Lewis appeared friendly, but in fact, she was rather condescending. When he met Mrs. Lewis at a banquet, Mrs. Lewis would only talk to other women with similar status to her and would look down on everyone else.
Perhaps Duncan knew his mother too well and felt that it was difficult to find a girlfriend who could satisfy his mother, so he just gave up.
If Duncan were present, he would say, âI really donât like anyone. Thatâs why Iâm not dating.â
âBy the way, are you pursuing Ms. Sox or her younger brother? When I returned from my business trip, I heard that you invited Drake to dinner every now and then and occasionally accompanied him to races. You even lent him your race car.â
Zachary leaned closer to Josh and said with a smile, âJosh, I heard gossip thatâs related to you. Do you want to hear it?â
Josh scoffed and said, âWho can beat me when it comes to gossip? Iâve known about it. Some people see that Iâm always with Drake, so they suspect that I like young and handsome men.â
Every time Josh invited Drake to dinner, Jasmine followed too, so why didnât those people see her?
Josh was taking the brother-in-law route to woo his future wife!
âMs. Sox doesnât hate me, but I think she doesnât like my background. Thatâs not something I can control. So many women envy my background, but Jasmine actually despises me for being overly rich and doesnât want to date me.
âMost women dislike their boyfriends for being poor, but the girl I like dislikes me for being rich. Thatâs why my only way is to start with Drake, who idolizes me. He shows up as soon as I ask him out.
âMs. Sox is afraid that her brother will sell her out, so whenever I ask Drake out for dinner, sheâll follow.
That way, Iâll get my chance to perform in front of her.â
Zachary was speechless.
He thought Josh was good with women, but it turned out that Josh was no better than him.
Josh always said the right things and analyzed Zacharyâs relationship problems well.
âIs Serenity coming to the companyâs annual dinner?â
âOf course!â
âIâll invite Jasmine again later. If she doesnât want to come with me, Iâll have to ask Serenity to help me bring her over.
Josh decided to make Jasmine his female companion at this yearâs company annual dinner. He intended for her to be his female companion forever.
âSince you requested, my wife and I wonât let you down. Letâs go. My wife has probably left the house.
Oh right, which restaurant do you usually go to? Seren said that theyâre going to the restaurant that you brought them to.â
Hearing this, Josh smiled and said, âI knew Jasmine liked that restaurant.â
âLetâs go. Iâll lead the way. We can text Duncan when we arrive. He doesnât have a crush and only knows how to make money all day long. He earns so much but doesnât have a wife to help him spend it.â
Zachary agreed.
Poor Duncan. He was ditched by his friends.
He was left all alone.
Duncan thought they would become the three most eligible bachelors in Wiltspoon, but he was the only one left.
