Chapter 382
The next day, back at Swinton, a convoy of luxury cars drove into Park Pce in a grandiose disy. A
s their procession moved through the streets, it left asting impression of power and splendor.
By the entrance, the entire Harmon family had been waiting, with Jessica in the lead.
As the vehicles came to a stop, Ja, who was dressed in luxurious clothing, was the first to disembark
with an arrogant look on her face.
“Ja, you’re here! Please,e in.” Jessica greeted her with a smile and a weing attitude. The p
erson she was greeting was Tyler’s sister. Her standing among the entire Grant family was not to be tak
en lightly.
Ja nodded in response. “Jessica, long time no see. Where’s Natasha? Why don’t I see her?”
“She’s inside getting ready. She won’t take much longer,” Jessica exined with a smile.
“Ja, I prepared something for you when I found out you were visiting. Have a look.” At that moment,
Quentin, who was standing beside them, took out a sapphire the size of an egg and passed it to her wit
h both hands. Ja was not only gorgeous, but she also came from a powerful family. That was why he
knew she was the best match
for him. Naturally, he wouldn’t give up the chance to leave a good impression.
It was his belief that every woman was weak against jewelry.
Ja nced at it. “Thanks.” However, instead of receiving it herself, she had the maid
take it and put it away.
“Uh…” As he took in her disinterested look, the corners of his mouth twitched. He purchased that sapph
ire from some Amberson woman for
more than a hundred million dors. He had spent quite a fortune to impress the gorgeous woman and
was aggrieved at her reaction.
“I should have gotten something cheaper,” Quentin silently mumbled.
“Ja, tea is almost ready. Let’s head in first.” Jessica smoothed things over and invited the entourage
inside. After they took their seats, she asked, “Ja, may I know what brings you to Swinton this time?
“Jessica, in truth, I’m here regarding my brother’s wedding.” She drank a sip of tea and continued, o
rding to the marriage agreement, there are around 20 days left before the union between the Harmons
and the Grants. I’m just wondering how the preparations are going.”
“There is no need to worry. The Harmons‘ annual family gathering will be in a few days. We’ll be makin
g arrangements during the gathering,” Jessica replied with a smile.
“That
would be the best.” Ja nodded and changed the subject. “However, I’ve been hearing rumorstely t
hat Natasha has a boyfriend. I wonder if they are true.”

Jessica’s expression froze slightly with her words before she dismissed the idea with a wave of her han
d. “That’s not true, of course. You shouldn’t listen to gossip like that. Besides, who couldpare to yo
ur brother in the entire seven provinces of Balerno?
“That’s good to hear. You should be aware that my brother is deeply devoted to Natasha, and he
also has strict principles and doesn’t tolerate betrayals. With his personality, if he heard about the rumo
rs, there’s no guarantee how he would retaliate.” Her words carried a hint of threat as she
warned.
“Please don’t worry. It is inevitable for our families toe together. I have faith the wedding will be hel
d ording to schedule.” Jessica smiled assuringly.
“Great!” Ja raised her brows. “My brother will be back in two days. He will also be personally attendi
ng the Harmons‘ annual gathering to ask for the bride’s hand. I’m here to inform you of this
in advance.”
“No problem. We will make all the necessary arrangements.” Jessica nodded with a smile.
While they were talking, Natasha, who had finally finished getting ready, walked out of her bedroom.
“Natasha, you’re here. Sit down. We were just discussing your marriage with Tyler-”
Natasha raised her hand and interrupted her. “I heard everything. Ja, my apologies in advance. I’m a
fraid we won’t be able to go through with this marriage.”
