Chapter 664 I Admire Him
Alec felt that Blake was speaking the truth. Those two members of the Fausts were
somewhat proud and arrogant, and if Blake were to approach them with the idea of
collaboration, they would probably think she was joking. Even if she was a Watkins, they
would doubt how much say she would have in the Watkins family. After all, she would need
to be able to bring something of value to the table for them to consider working with her.
However, for Alec, securing a collaboration with Blake was good enough, and that was the
difference.
"I will consider your proposal." Alec still didn’t give a definite answer. He needed to
carefully consider whether it was necessary.
Upon hearing that, Blake didn't continue to push her luck. "It's up to you. I'm just giving
you a suggestion. After all, your current situation is not optimistic."
After that, the two did not continue that discussion, and Blake began to treat Alec.
It was already the next morning when James woke up in the hotel room. He felt sore all
over his body as if he'd been crushed by a boulder. As he opened his eyes and took in his
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtunfamiliar surroundings, he came to a realization that made him sick to his stomach. He
instantly understood that his strange condition was probably due to the drugs from last
night.
"James..." Jolene's coquettish voice sounded beside him, and he finally saw the woman in
the bed with him.
"Jolene! I'm going to kill you!" The moment he saw it was her, he couldn't restrain himself
and started choking her.
"James..." With her neck being strangled, Jolene looked terrified. She struggled to
comprehend how he could be so rough with her after they'd had such passionate sex last
night.
Although she knew what she'd done would enrage James, she assumed that he would, at
most, chastise her harshly since there was no way to undo what had happened between
them. Little did she know how merciless James could be-he didn't achieve his current
position by being a benevolent and agreeable person.
Just as Jolene thought she was going to be strangled to death by James, the door of the
room was pushed open. The sound of cameras clicking echoed in the room. James
immediately stuffed Jolene under the covers the next second, not wanting her to be
discovered.
But how could Jolene let him have his way? Even if James had her pinned down, she used
all her strength to free herself from James' grasp and reveal herself to the reporters while
asking, 'What's going on?"
"Wow! It's really Mr. Windsor and Miss Jolene Walter!" a reporter exclaimed. They received
a tip-off and didn't take it seriously at first. They thought there was no harm if they came
to have a look, but they didn't expect it to be true.
Cameras were pointed at the two of them, furiously clicking away. James had a very
displeased expression, but Jolene was the complete opposite. She breathed a sigh of relief
that the reporters showed up in time.
Otherwise, she would have been strangled to death by James.
"Mr. Windsor, what is your relationship with Miss Walter?" a bold reporter asked.
Everyone looked at James expectantly, waiting for his answer.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJames was still shirtless, and Jolene was only showing her head. Even a fool knew that
something had happened between them. However, this was the first time anyone had
heard anything about these two being involved. The moment it came to light that they
were somehow involved with each other, their relationship was revealed to be way more
intimate than anyone had expected.
Unable to get an answer from James, the reporters all turned their gaze toward Jolene.
'Miss Walter, could you say something, please?"
Rowena had paid this particular reporter to expose the relationship between James and
Jolene. He had to keep the ball rolling and ensure reports about them would gain traction
in the media.
"This has nothing to do with Mr. Windsor. I'm the one who admires him," Jolene said,
blushing. She didn't explain how they ended up sleeping together, only that she admired
him. In the eyes of outsiders, she seemed to be a lovesick girl.
Nonetheless, not everyone there was a fool. Someone immediately questioned, "Miss
Walter, your engagement banquet with Mr. Britt is in two days. What do you have to say
for yourself now that something like this has happened?"
