Chapter 1009 Foresight


    Ameer didn''t dare do anything that might provoke J again. He was only putting on an act to


    please J, but he hadn''t expected her to be so fierce. She didn''t even bat an eye when she saw


    him hit Kathie.


    "I apologize, Mrs. Larson. You must have been frightened just now. That bitch, Kathie, is just so


    loathsome. I wouldn''t have said those awful words if she bewitched me. I''m sorry for showing you


    such a disgraceful sight."


    J merely smiled. She said nothing and immediately averted her gaze to look around the venue.


    Not willing to miss this opportunity, Ameer proceeded to fawn over her. "By the way, Mrs. Larson,


    how did youe to know about mypany? Has Mr. Larson been talking about it a lot?" But


    J was quick to dash his hopes. "My husband doesn''t talk about work stuff with me."


    Ameer forced a smile. "I heard that you''re more focused on designing now that you''ve gained some


    renown of your own. Others said that you barely ask about the business affairs of the Larson family


    or the White family. It seems that they are right."


    His attempt at a conversation was obvious. J nodded coldly at him. "You''re a talkative one,


    aren''t you, Mr. Ortiz?"


    Ameer found himself trembling under her sharp gaze. He lowered his head and made a half-hearted


    excuse to leave. He was so frazzled that he didn''t even see the waiter approaching behind him,


    carrying a tray of drinks.


    The two men had nearly bumped into each other, and the wine sses shook dangerously on the


    tray.


    "Are you blind?" Ameer snapped, ring at the waiter. Some of the red wine had spilled onto his


    suit. He turned and stomped away in anger.


    No sooner had he left than Sean arrived. He looked J up and down and heaved a sigh of relief


    only after seeing that she was fine.


    "I''m sorry for beingte, Mrs. Larson. I came over as soon as I saw that old rascal hanging around


    you. Did he do anything to you?" Sean was very familiar with the bosses of the enterprises that had,


    or were trying to build a business rtionship with the Larson Group. Among them, Ameer Ortiz


    was notorious for being a greedy man who liked chasing skirts and harassing young women.


    "It''s quite all right. He scampered away once he learned of my identity." J gave Sean a gentle


    smile. "Thank you for the information you prepared for me. Otherwise, I wouldn''t have been able to


    deal with that situation."

    "Of course, Mrs. Larson. You asked for the file, and I simplyplied." Sean looked embarrassed


    by her gratitude. "It''s a good thing that you had the foresight to ask the list of Larson Group''s


    business partners beforehand."


    J chuckled dryly. "I was just worried that I would make a fool of myself at this party if I ran into


    those people. It makes it easier to socialize with them if I just know more about them. Brandon was


    right. He and I are a couple, and the things one of us does will impact the other. I should pay better


    attention to my actions from now on."


    Beforeing here, J had specifically asked Sean for a list of people whom she should take


    particr note of, especially those who were connected to the Larson Group. She had taken the


    time to browse through the document and eventually obtained a good impression of several


    directors who were considerably older than her and Brandon. And so, when Ameer popped up in


    front of her, she instantly knew who he was.


    It just so happened that Kathie had actually hooked up with the man. Ameer was known to be


    ruthless when he had to, and given his massive ego, he naturally hated being a stepping stone to


    someone else''s ambitions.


    "I daresay, Mrs. Larson, if it weren''t for your insight and meticulousness, you might indeed suffer


    tonight." In Sean''s opinion, J had grown so much from the woman she used to be.


    "Oh, stop praising me. The credit is all yours. But didn''t you tell Este that you wereing to me?


    She seems to be looking for you." Este was not far away from them. J couldn''t help but smile


    as she watched her scour the crowd.


    As if feeling her gaze, Este turned and met J''s eyes. She waved at them, her grin widening.


    "Sean,e and take some photos with me."


    "Go on, hurry," J nudged Sean. "Don''t keep her waiting."


    "I beg your pardon, Mrs. Larson. I''ve been tasked to protect you. It''s the main reason why I''m at this


    party in the first ce. I should draw a line between work and private matters." Sean''s tone was


    serious as he added, "I''ll exin this to Este. I''m sure she would understand."


    J stopped him right away. After a moment''s consideration, she let out a helpless sigh. "Don''t do


    that."
