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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtpromise 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

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
