Chapter 299 I Will Keep You As My Mistress


    A bodyguard opened the car door. After waiting for J to get into the car, Ritchie got in and sat


    next to her.


    J looked out the window uneasily. She could feel Ritchie''s intense gaze burning a hole on the


    back of her head.


    Just to be safe, J secretly texted Ethan, telling him that Ritchie hade to her.


    Minutes had passed and her phone still didn''t buzz. Perhaps Ethan was busy. J put away her


    cell phone and sat up straight. She was used to this. After all, Ethan was probably busy unloading


    goods in the convenience store.


    Ritchie''s eyes wandered over J''s body and a faint smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.


    "Are you texting Ethan? My dear sister-inw, there''s no need to be nervous. It''s just a simple meal


    between family members."

    J looked up at Ritchie. Only then did she realize that there was some resemnce between


    him and Ethan.


    "No. I was just wondering if my friend has got home safely," J said with a gentle yet alienating


    smile.


    As though he didn''t believe her, Ritchie snorted and stopped talking.


    The car stopped at a restaurant famous for its ck truffle dishes in Seacisco.


    The waiter at the door greeted Ritchie with a respectful smile. "Mr. Lester."


    It wasn''t until then that J realized that the Lester family might be more powerful than she had


    thought. Perhaps they were even at the top of the power pyramid in Seacisco. The restaurant


    manager personally came to introduce the new menu to Ritchie.


    And it seemed like Ritchie was used to this kind of treatment. After entering the private room, he


    simply asked the staff to leave them alone. He didn''t pretend to be polite anymore when it was just


    him and J left in the room.


    With his long legs crossed, Ritchie looked at J with no holds barred.


    The car was dimly lit earlier, so only now did Ritchie get a clear look at J.


    She wasn''t as beautiful as a fairy, but her skin was smooth and wless. Overall, she looked clean


    andfortable, but there was a certain tenacity in her eyes, which was likely to arouse a man''s


    desire to conquer her.


    Ritchie had seen countless beautiful women in his lifetime, but he usually didn''t bother to waste time


    on them. The Lester family was so rich and powerful that women tended to pounce at any chance to


    be with him.


    J wasn''t his type, but she was Ethan''s wife, which was enough to pique Ritchie''s interest in her.


    J felt very ufortable under his gaze.


    After pouring a cup of tea for J, Ritchie handed the overflowing cup to her then refilled his own


    cup. "How''s life with Ethan? We haven''t given him any money since he cut ties with the Lester


    family."


    After taking a sip of the tea, J replied curtly, "We both have jobs. Although our sries aren''t


    that big, it''s enough to support us."


    J wasn''t used to opening up to strangers. Her humoring Ritchie now was solely for Ethan''s


    sake.


    Ritchie looked at J''s clothes up and down. Although he was smiling, he sneered with such


    disdain. "It looks like you''re not living a good life. Your clothes and shoes are cheap. In a word, you


    look very poor."


    "This is Ethan''s and my life. It has nothing to do with you." J''s eyes grew cold as anger brewed


    within her.


    With a pitiful sigh, Ritchie''s arrogant eyes wandered to J''s chest. "You''re so beautiful and


    talented. It''s unfortunate that you ended up with a poor guy like Ethan. Why don''t you divorce him?


    Then I''ll keep you as my mistress and make sure you live a rich life."
