Chapter 271 There Are Already Seven


    After consuming several sses of red wine, Jacqueline began to appear different.


    Her cheeks were flushed, and her gaze seemed distant. It was unclear whether she was genuinely


    drunk or pretending to be. As she spoke, she swayed, “Emrys, do you know? I genuinely like you, and


    it has nothing to do with family interests. Last time at my house, when you were drunk, my father


    wanted us to sleep together…”


    She poured her heart out to Emrys, unaware that during theirst encounter at the Balford residence,


    Emrys had only pretended to be drunk to test her.


    Emrys fell silent for a moment.


    feel


    Without waiting for his response, Jacqueline leaned in and said, “Emrys, regardless of how you about


    me, I think that if I could give my first time to such an outstanding man like you, I would be very


    satisfied.”


    She hade tonight, prepared to sacrifice herself after summoning a great deal of courage.


    This was different fromst time.


    Last time, she believed Emrys was drunk. If she were to sleep with him under those circumstances,


    Jacqueline felt it would be inappropriate. However, tonight was different because Emrys was sober. If


    he could ept her…


    Jacqueline had already made the necessary preparations.


    At this critical moment, Emrys hesitated, remaining motionless for a long time. In the end, even Yelena,


    who was hiding on the balcony and peeking, couldn’t bear it any longer. She rushed in, grabbed Emrys‘


    ear, and said, “Emrys, you’re such a jerk. Why did you flirt with her if you have no intention of being


    with her?”


    In that moment, Emrys actually thought Yelena was possessed by Cordelia and quickly begged for


    mercy, saying, “Lena, please let go, it hurts!”


    “Hmph, serves you right. Who asked you to fool around with other women?” Yelena said angrily.


    Wait, are you ming me for being promiscuous or flirting without the intention of being together?


    In truth, even Yelena herself didn’t know the answer to this question.


    She was also very conflicted inside.


    “Who are you?”


    When Jacqueline saw a person suddenly rush onto the balcony, and moreover, a stunning beauty, she


    was instantly startled. The slightly tipsy feeling she had just moments ago immediately disappeared,


    bringing her back to sobriety.


    The scent of the perfume is very familiar, so it was her who was here earlier. Emrys must have known


    about her. He just deliberately kept it from me.

    Chapter 271 There Are Already Seven


    At that moment, a pang of pain surged within Jacqueline’s heart, and a shade of dejection emerged in


    her eyes.


    Originally, Yelena had looked at Jacqueline with a confrontational gaze. However, upon seeing the look


    of disappointment on Jacqueline’s face, her heart softened, and her tone eased as she said, “Ms.


    Balford, I am Emrys‘ sister. You may not have met me before, but that jerk has mentioned you to me.”


    Jacqueline’s personality had always been considered rather haughty. At least within Jazona, there


    hadn’t been a single bachelor who could sway her heart.


    However, everything changed after she got to know Emrys.


    Even the proudest individuals, in front of those they cherish, would be mindful of their demeanor,


    even to the point of growing increasingly submissive.


    This was exactly the case with Jacqueline.


    Therefore, upon seeing Emrys sheltering a mistress in his ce, her first reaction was neither anger


    nor resentment.


    It was a bittersweet sense of disappointment.


    No wonder, despite my proactive approach, Emrys remains indifferent. It turns out that I am neither


    good enough nor worthy of him.


    With so many beautiful women around Emrys, Jacqueline couldn’t see how she couldpete with


    them.


    Upon seeing her destion, the hostility that Yelena had harbored instantly vanished. She couldn’t help


    but recall her own encounters with Emrys. Despite the ample opportunities, Emrys had remained as


    impassive as a block of wood.

    Indeed, his self–restraint is unmatched!


    Yelena said empathetically. “Ms. Balford, please don’t be upset. I have already dealt with this jerk on


    your behalf. Furthermore, I support your involvement with him.”


    “What?” Both of them eximed in surprise, their eyes widening simultaneously.


    Wait, something doesn’t seem right.


    Emrys asked, surprised, “Lena, are you being serious?”


    “Hmph, absolutely!” Yelena blinked her captivating eyes and continued, “Besides, there are already


    seven. Adding one more shouldn’t be a big deal.”
