Chapter 316 A Good-looking Couple
Nathan''s tone suddenly changed. He looked as though he was replying to Mnie, but Mnie knew that he was targeting
Jeffrey.
She turned around, and put her wine ss down before leaving. “I’m sorry, but please excuse me.”
With that, she returned to the banquet hall, leaving the two men to face off on the balcony.
“Thankfully, my adoptive mother is fine. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be standing here talking to each other today!”
Nathan''s bloodshot eyes were filled with threatening rage. “Jeffrey Morgan, | didn’t expect you to go against
me for the sake of that woman!”
“She''s fine because | engaged the best doctor for her,” Jeffrey said unflinchingly.
“So should | be thanking you instead?”
“No need for that.” Jeffrey went on with a look of disdain, “I engaged a doctor for her simply because | don’t
want to implicate the innocent. It doesn’t mean I''m trying to keep a backdoor open for myself and keep our
alliance alive.”
Nathan was angered by Jeffrey’s unyielding stance. “Very well! | never expected you to be someone |
have to deal with!”
“Have you been dealing with many people in secret?” Jeffrey suddenly looked keenly at Nathan. “Did you send
someone to Harbor City to investigate Mnie''s father?”
“Ha, ha, ha!”
Nathan paused for a moment before breaking out into cold, wildughter.
“Jeffrey Morgah, you''re quite a joke! Who was the one who swore to make anyone who hurt Emma suffer ten times the pain?
Has the one who hurt her now be such a treasure to you that I can’t even investigate?”
“I''m just warning you not to be foolish no matter what you do, lest you alert the enemy and foil my n!” Jeffrey narrowed his
eyes as he warned Nathan coldly.
“Hmph.” Nathan scoffed. “You sound so genuine. Is that n of yours still in effect?”
“You don’t need to worry about that,” Jeffrey spat coldly, shooting Nathan a look of disdain.
Mnie walked around the bend and looked back. The night wind blew against the curtains and the shadows
of both men intertwined.
She went on walking back to the banquet hall in search of a quiet corner to settle down in. Yet, she unwittingly locked gazes with
Leo.
It would seem too pretentious to dodge his gaze. She had no choice but to walk over and smile politely at him. “Mr. York, pardon
me for not being able to work with you this time.”Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“All''s fair in love and business. It was my fault for beingte, so you don’t need to feel bad,” Leo said with a wave of his hand.
“You, on the other hand, demonstrated the sincerity of Jones Enterprise. I''ll definitely keep an eye out for opportunities to work
with you in the future.”
“Sure,” Mnie replied courteously. She changed the subject as subtly as she could. “Mr. York, you must have a packed
schedule during your visit here at Harbor City?”
Leo was about to answer Mnie when a womans voice cut in, breaking the harmonious atmosphere.
“No matter how busy, Mr. York shoulde out for some fresh air and rx, just like today.”
“One has to be in a rxed mood to meet a perfect partner to do enjoyable things together,” Grace said as she
walked over, smiling pretentiously at Leo.
The air chilled in an instant. No one seemed to want to answer Grace.
Yet, Grace’s mind was upied by Duke Wilhelm’s threat. She couldn’t be bothered by the awkward situation
she found herself in.
She went on, “I was chatting with a fewdies upstairs, and saw Mr. York and Ms. Jones standing together. We were all talking
about what a good-looking couple you two make!”
“Is that so?” Leo coughed as he nced at Grace.
At that moment, he understood why something went wrong with Duke Wilhelm’s card. This troublesome brat must have been
behind it!
Grace caused him to lose a deal and a chance to get close to Mnie. Was she trying to make things better? He would never
spare her so easily!
