Chapter 429
However, Connor Luther was the real problem.
He was the future heir of Luther Group and one of the top-notch eligible bachelors in Stormton City.
Would he fall for L Sutton?
Jane Fowler did not underestimate L’s charm. She was afraid that Connor was toying with L.
Once the novelty wore off, he would immediately abandon L and leave her heartbroken. Jane would
never allow it! She had to find an opportunity to test Connor’s sincerity toward L.
*Please don’t make fun of me, Janie. Connor is Luther Group’s future sessor. There’s such a huge
difference between our statuses. How can the Sutton family be worthy of the Luther family?” said L.
“It’s impossible between us! We’re just friends. I know my limits. Moreover, a marriage that is not well
matched due to family backgrounds won’t be blessed. Connor’s family will ask him to marry a rich
youngdy of equal status with beauty. and power. Only then will it be helpful to his family and career.”
Jane saw L getting more and more disappointed as she spoke. She chuckled and flicked L’s
forehead. “I’ve not even mentioned marriage yet, and you’re already thinking that far ahead. Didn’t you
say you have no romantic feelings for Connor? That you’re just friends? Who would believe you? Look
at you; you’re thinking of marrying him!”
“Oh… I… Uh, I…”
L stuttered and wanted to deny it hurriedly, but she was at a loss for words.
“It’s not a bad thing to like someone. There’s no need for you to hide it, L. I have met Connor before.
He’s handsome, well-educated, and has a noble temperament. His special status is indeed a ma
for any young woman.”
“There’s no issue if he doesn’t like you. However, if both of you are interested parties, Then you’re
deceiving yourself by denying it. Giving up a rtionship because of secr prejudices is not called
love,” Jane said matter-of-factly.
Hmm, both were interested parties.
L had never thought too much about how her rtionship with Connor would develop.
Hold on. It was not that L did not, it was that she dared not.
Overthinking it would give her false hopes.
“I understand thatpatibility in family backgrounds is important. Lucky for you that you have a good
friend like me. With me around, you’ll be a queen in your field in no time and undoubtedly will be
compatible with Luther Group!”
“The key is whether you are determined to be the best version of yourself for Connor. If you don’t
think he’s worthy, then let’s move on and continue with our carefree life.”
Jane’s remarks were not baseless.
She did not want to mislead L into thinking that everything was fine.
Otherwise, L would not be able to survive in the environment of the Luther family.
L was gifted and talented in her own way. She would no doubt stand out in her chosen field with
significant achievements in the future.
However, L needed time to grow.
Only when she became stronger would others take her seriously and with respect.
Jane understood what it took to get there.
L was silent momentarily before saying, “Janie, I don’t want to overthink now. I just want to focus on
designing games and fighting for my dream. I’ll deal with romance when I seed in my career.
Jane patted her head lovingly. “That’s right. How can my little L be obsessed with love? A career
should alwayse first, men and women alike.”
“Oh, Janie, I’m not **********. How can I be obsessed with love? It’s not like I don’t know how miserable
it is for a woman to be obsessed with love. A woman must be strong and carve out a career for herself.
I don’t want to rely on a man to support me for sure!”
L gradually regained her confidence and smiled after speaking her mind. She finished her ss of
“Mona Lisa” in one gulp and let out a long sigh. “Yes! Making money is the most important thing now!
Make money! I want to make money! I want to be a super-rich woman! This way, I can have any
man I want in the future. Why should I put all my eggs in one basket? Tsk!” she sneered.
L then raised her empty ss and stood up. She spun around crazily while smiling happily, attracting
everyone’s attention.
Jane quickly pulled her aside. “All right, girl, don’t go crazy on one drink. It’s only the first ss, and
you’re already drunk. Why did you drink like a maniac?”
L blushed and shook her head. “I’m not drunk, Janie. I can drink more! I want to make money! I want
to design popr games! I want to start apany and have an eSports team. I want to y
professionally…”
Jane had no choice but to press on L’s acupoint to calm her down. She told L to rest on the table
to sober up.
Suddenly, there was a surprised voice. “Jane!”
Jane turned around and saw that it was Marlon Croft.
There was a fine-looking man beside him who turned out to be Ford, the eldest son of the Croft family’s
first branch. They had met briefly in a barbecue restaurant some time ago.
Ford’s eyes lit up the moment he saw Jane. Heughed heartily and said, “Long time no see, Miss
Fowler. I didn’t expect to meet you in a ce like this. It must be fate.”
Jane ignored him. The look in Ford’s eyes made her ufortable. She looked at Marlon and asked,
“Why are you here?”
Marlon shrugged. “Uh, I was out to get thetest PS5 console and some new games. I bumped into
Ford, who insisted I have a drink with him, so here we are at Nightshade Bar.”
Oh my, Marlon imed he did not drink, yet Ford forced him to go to a bar. How unlucky could one get!
Marlon did not know if he was ill-fated. He had always been invisible in the Croft family. Moreover, he
did not notify anyone. when he came out to get the game console. He nned to go home after getting
the games and stay up all night to clear the levels. It was just his luck bumping into Ford.
“Oh. Is that so?”
Jane narrowed her eyes and looked at Ford intently.
Was this a coincidence?
Or arranged by Ford deliberately?
Ford hid his thoughts with a smile and said, “Why don’t we share a table since we know each other? It’ll
be more fun if we drink together.”

Jane replied calmly, “I still have to care for my drunk friend. I’ll pass. You guys can drink by yourselves.”
“Janie, I’m not drunk! I’m very sober.”
L got up with blurry eyes. “Let’s drink! Drink more! I still want to drink! My career prospect is
awesome today. I want to drink to liven things up!”
Ford immediatelyunched an aggressive proposal without waiting for Jane to sober up her drunk
friend. “Since the youngdy wants more, why don’t you join us too, Miss Fowler? But go easy on the
alcohol content because I have something to talk to you about.”
Ford’s ill intention was in his eyes.
Even Marlon sensed that something was wrong.
He looked at Ford in surprise.
“What the hell?” he thought.
Did Ford take a fancy to Jane?
