Christopher immediately chimed in, “Exactly, what if she has her reasons? If you knew about them,
you could secretly help her out like a prince. Wouldn’t everyone be happy then? But if she turns out
to be a fraud, like she’s not pretty-”
“I don’t mind!” Jake interjected immediately.
Christopher’s lips twitched. “What if she’s a wed woman? What if… she’s a man!”
A panic expression crossed Brody’s face, hisplexion turned pale, but it wasn’t noticeable due to
the dim lighting.
Quickly, Jake retorted, “How is that possible?”
Clearly, he was more resistant to the possibility of his online girlfriend being a man than a married
woman.
“So, why not give it a shot? We’ll do it on the sly. If she gets mad, we’ll take the me as your
buddies and apologize for you,” Christopher immediately began to coax.
Even though Brody weakly voiced out that it wasn’t right and was disrespectful to Jake’s girlfriend,
even E, beside him, also persuaded Jake. After all, she was extremely curious about who the
subject of their discussion was. Little did she know, that person was right beside her.
Isabe could already picture how anxious and worried Brody was.
Instead of handing over the number for Alexander to have his men trace it, Jake, soft–hearted as
usual, said, “I’ll try to reach out again. If I can’t get through, then we’ll discuss further.”
With that said, he was about to make another phone call.

Without hesitation, Brody made an excuse to leave the room, iming he needed to use the
restroom.
Watching him in such a frantic state, Isabe and the other two struggled to hold back their
laughter.
Before long, Jake’s call connected. He was immediately filled with excitement, put the call on
speaker, and a woman’s voice came from the other end.
The voice changer is quite sophisticated andpletely unrecognizable.
Isabe thought admiringly, Christopher and Rosalie shared the same sentiment. Seeing Jake
merely utter a few words and immediately being charmed by the other party’s voice and coquettish
behavior to the point of grinning, they couldn’t bear to watch.
However, Brody was indeed impressive. With just a few words, he almost coaxed Jake into hanging
up the phone:
Alexander tapped on the table, signaling him to get down to business.
Jake brought up the birthday banquet, and the other party fell silent for a moment, presumably too
flustered toe up with an excuse on the spot.
In the end, the other party finally admitted, “Truth be told… I’ve been feeling downtely because

simply haven’t had the time or the emotional capacity to meet you. I want to be at my best when we
meet for the first time, but the timing is really bad as ofte. Can we discuss this after my mother is
discharged?”
Holy cr*p, does your mom know you’re cursing her behind her back?
Christopher and Rosalie were rendered speechless. What kind of person was this? His own mother
is right here!
Jake immediately asked about the mother’s condition with a hint of worry, not doubting the excuse
at all. It was no wonder he was deceived for so long.
Jake threw out assurance after assurance and asked repeatedly if he could help, but after being
declined each time, he finally hung up the phone.
“Wait, do you really believe that excuse? It sounds like a hastily made–up excuse!” Christopher
couldn’t help but exim.
“No one would joke about their own mother’s health, would they?” For someone like Jake, who lost
his mother at a young age, it seemed like an unthinkable urrence.
Isabe said, “Don’t doubt it because it does happen. What you should consider is, if it was a lie,
why would she rather lie than meet with you? What exactly is she hiding from you?”
Jake was taken aback. Initially, E shared the same thoughts as her brother, but hearing what
everyone else had to say, she couldn’t help but voice out, “Jake, I think they have a point.”
At that very moment, Brody came back in a rush.
Isabe watched as he broke into a sweat, probably worrying about their situation with Jake. He’ll
be even more worriedter.
Sure enough, as soon as he sat down, he heard discussions about whether or not he was lying and
felt incredibly restless.
As a result, Alexandermented, “Jake, call her again. You didn’t tell her our family has ess to
the best medical resources. If her mother is truly ill, I don’t think she’ll mind us offering the finest
medical care for her mother.”
Brody was drenched in cold sweat.
Jake suddenly pped his forehead, saying, “Right, I’ll call her now.”
