Chapter 167


    Jay walked up to Rose and saw several young noblemen around her. They were full of praise for


    Rose.


    "Miss Loyle is not only beautiful but also dances well. I wonder which university you studied in. It


    must be one of the top universities in the country, right?"


    Jay stopped to stare at Rose with a slight frown. As far as he knew, Rose''s degree was low-ranked-


    it was only from an insignificant third-tier university.


    The man who asked her the question was Nancy''s brother, Gale Bell. He was trying to embarrass


    Rose.


    Jay was hesitating whether to help Rose or not, but Rose smiled and calmly retorted, "I heard


    Young Master Bell was also a student with poor grades in high school, making all the teachers have


    headaches. However, Young Master Bell went abroad to touch up for a few years and came back in


    high spirits. Young Master Bell and I have the same experience in our studying process. We thought


    little of our studies here. Only when we went abroad did we realize that the moon in a foreign


    country is not as round as it is back home, so we worked diligently and hard and made some


    progress.” 1


    She only spoke a few words but exined her former gross ignorance and the cause and effect of


    her blossoming now.


    Gale Bell sullenly closed his mouth.


    Jay looked at Rose and wondered how many secrets were the mediocre-looking woman hiding.


    The other men saw Jay walking toward Rose and scattered.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Rose looked at Jay who was standing in front of her. She was surprised and looked at him


    dumbfoundedly.


    Jay set his falcon-like eyes on Rose''s ming redce dress. He still could not believe they had


    both chosen t o wear red today.


    He preferred to believe that it was her n.


    Rose could see through his icy eyes that he was upset about them wearing the same color and


    stood up. She stammered, "Sir Ares, it''s time for me to go back. The children are having a good


    time. Can you send them hometer, please?"


    With that, Rose was about to run away.


    However, Jay suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist. "Rose..."


    Rose looked at him quizzically, her eyes fixed on the hand that held her wrist. Shock was evident on


    her pretty face.


    This guy had always hated touching people, no? Especially her. He was disgusted with her.


    Jay saw the great panic in her eyes and ufortably loosened his grip. He took out a tissue and


    wiped his hand that had touched Rose. He then looked haughtily at her.


    "Go back after you dance with me." Even though he was the one asking for a favor, his attitude


    showed otherwise.


    "I''m tired," Rose said, exasperated by his disapproving gesture.


    She was gently rejecting him!


    For the first time in his life, Jay was getting rejected b y a woman. A desire to conquer her swelled


    as he leaned forward to keep Rose within inches of him. 1


    The pressure from him enveloped Rose in a suffocating embrace. Rose unconsciously leaned back,


    trying to get distance herself away from him.


    However, when she retreated, he drew even nearer.


    Rose''s body was bent back into a bow. She was about t o fall, but he kept pushing. Rose had to put


    her hand o n his chest and push him.


    In the end, Jay''s hands were pressed against the table while Rose was locked in his long arms. The


    gesture made her blush and heartbeat go haywire in the small space.


    A lot of people gave meaningful nces in their direction. Women gritted their teeth with envy.


    Rose blushed with shame. "Sir Ares, please behave yourself."


    A sneer shed in Jay''s eyes. "Don''t y hard to get,


    Rose. It doesn''t work for me."
