    Chapter 226


    When they arrived outside the door of n''s study, Jay stopped in his tracks and said, ''My dad''s


    waiting for you inside."


    "Aren''t you going in with me?"


    "He only wants to see you."

    "Jay..."


    Mandy was getting really nervous.


    "Just speak your mind," Jay assured her.


    "It''s not like he will gobble you up."


    Mandy took a deep breath.


    Although it was her first time visiting Levine Manor, she knew that there were house rules that she


    could not object to.She had no choice but to bite the bullet and knock on the door.


    When she walked into the study, she saw n seated before his study table, sipping on tea.


    The door closed behind Mandy.She looked cautiously at n and greeted reverentially, "Mr.Levine."


    "Sit," n said as he nced at Mandy.


    Mandy immediately obeyed.


    Perhaps because she was too nervous, her foot identally kicked the redwood chair no.velebook


    while she was taking a seat, and the legs of the chair scratched against the floor, making an ear-


    piercing screech.


    "I-I''m sorry..."


    Mandy hurriedly apologized.


    She looked panic-stricken and at a loss.


    n took note of every expression that crossed Mandy''s face.


    Thest person who sat there talking to him was Cordy.


    Uponparison, both women were worlds apart.


    As the most sessful businessman in North City, n was naturally adept at keeping his emotions in


    check.


    He said, "Ms.Jessop, you visited our family today and, I believe, saw for yourself our family situation."


    "I did," Mandy immediately replied, clearly trying her best to leave a good impression.


    "In that case, Ms. Jessop, you should have some self-awareness and know that the Levine family is


    clearly out of your league." n was blunt and straightforward with his words, not bothering at all to


    preserve Mandy''s dignity.


    Mandy''s face fell in an instant.She could not believe her ears.She had thought thating here to see


    Jay''s parents was implicitly an acknowledgement of her as his partner.She never expected to be told to


    give up!


    "The Jessop Corp of the past might have the right to talk about a marriage alliance with us Levines, but


    ever since Cordy Sachs left, I don''t see any future in Jessop Corp.


    What''s more, countless scandals that have broken out recently have caused Jessop Corp''s shares to


    decline sharply in value.


    Coupled with your own fair share of scandals, my household will never be able to ept you.


    Topensate you for your loss, I can fulfill one request of yours.


    "n cut to the chase and went straight to the point.He did not want to waste time on this.


    "Jay and I truly love..."


    "Not so,"


    n immediately cut Mandy off.


    "It has been one-sided on your part all along.It''s just that Jay is softhearted and couldn''t bear to reject


    you because of how you''ve helped him.I, as his father, will just have to be the bad guy."


    Mandy was rendered speechless by what n said.


    Firstly, his domineering aura was so overpowering that she could not go against it at all.


    Secondly, it was true that Jay''s affections for her were not deep.


    "Ms.Jessop, you have three options.One is to leave Jay.Break up on good terms and you two might


    remain as friends.Secondly is to take what I''m willing to give you and leave Jay.Of course, I won''t tell


    Jay what happened and won''t influence his impression of you.Third is for me to seek out your father


    and have him intercept you and Jay''s rtionship."


    Mandy bit her lip.


    It was the first time someone forced her so tightly into a corner, and it was a terrible feeling.


    "It''s gettingte.Ms.Jessop, you''d better make a decision quickly, "


    n urged, his patience running thin with her.


    "I want to be a female lead in a top movie,"


    Mandy said through gritted teeth and red-rimmed eyes.


    "Okay,"


    n said in agreement.


    He did not exactly despise Mandy for choosing to gain something out of this; as a businessman


    himself, he had long gotten used to quid pro quo terms.


    It was just that Mandy had her sights set too low.


    Earlier, he had made himself clear about Jessop Corp''s impending crisis, yet she ended up concerned


    only about her own career.


    Such a narrow-minded woman had no right to enter the Levine family.
