    199 Making a deal with her sister


    Rexughed out loud when he saw the look on Maverick’s face. “I can see someone getting pregnant.


    sooner than the weather changes. It would seem like a dreecam… do not say I didn’t warn youuuuu.” 1


    Hearing Rex’s song, Jeslyn raised her head to look at Maverick and froze when she saw him arching


    his brow. She forgot he was here.


    She shook her head, intending to tell him she was just bluffing but he scoffed and looked away.


    Not healthy? Fine, he’ll ask for the doctor who told her so and if she can’t produce the quack, he’ll


    make her fall sick tonight.

    Jeslyn smiled bitterly. She knew that she had done something wrong and won’t be able to avoid


    ‘punishment‘ tonight unless her periodes… she paused and then smiled when an idea formed in


    her mind.


    Rex was enjoying the look on their faces but unfortunately cannot spy into their hearts to know their


    thoughts. What a bad luck. But not to worry, he’ll know what happened tomorrow morning.


    Rex nned on going to his brother’s house as early as possible to know if what he was thinking


    happened. If it did, then Jeslyn would appear weak and Maverick would look happy and energetic. He


    squinted his eyes as a smile formed on his lips.


    “Uncle, you should stop loving gossip so much. One day you might suffer because of it.” Valen warned.


    He had been looking at this Uncle of his smiling like a creep as he shifted his gaze between his


    parents. What silly idea is he cooking up in his mind?


    “Hai, gossip is good. You’ll grow to love it someday.”


    Valen snorted and smuggled into Jeslyn’s chest even more. 1


    The car stopped at the restaurant and they got out of the car with Maverick carrying Valen. Jeslyn had


    also covered her face, so no one knew who she was.


    As the four grown–ups walked elegantly through the door with a cute child in Maverick’s right arm, the


    people gasped and some froze.


    In the upper–ss circle, although they don’t mingle with the Lu siblings, they know exactly who they


    are.


    One of the reasons they were shocked was because Maverick rarely goes to ces like this. In fact, he


    rarely leaves his house. Secondly, he doesn’t go out with his adorable son. Thirdly, there had never


    been a woman who wasn’t Celestine, walking with Maverick. Even the mother of Valen is unknown.


    Nobody had ever seen her.


    ‘Is this her?‘ they thought but immediately shook their heads. ‘She must be one of Rex’s flings. After


    they left, one of the two girls sitting in the loungespoke with hatred: “Young Master Rex’s new fling must


    be something to be able to go out together with the whole family.”


    “I know right? Our friend dated Young Master Rex the longest. It was a month and some days, yet,


    Young Master Rex only allowed her to use his name to raise her ranks in the entertainment industry. He


    never even went anywhere or appeared in the same magazine as her. I’m sure if she finds out about


    this, she’s going to throw a fit.” The partner wearing red, supported.


    “But they aren’t together anymore. I thought they broke up?”


    “Not at all. Toria said they haven’t.”


    “And you believe her?”


    “Of course. Isn’t she still using Young Master Rex’s name? So what’s there not to believe?”


    “That’s right. Then it means our Toria is the real deal. This one is just another fling.”


    “Exactly my point. She’ll only suffer like the rest of the girls. What a pity.” The girl in red shook her head


    and clicked her tongue.


    “Oh, my God! I forgot to click a picture! How would Toria believe us if we don’t show her a picture?” The


    other girl panicked.


    “That’s not a problem. I already took one.” The girl in red smiled slyly.


    The group of five entered a private room before they ordered their dishes. While waiting for their order,


    they started to throw jokes like usual with the exception of Maverick who would stop drawing circles on


    Jeslyn’s exposed thigh from under the table.


    Meanwhile, in the room opposite theirs, Emilee, Christine, and a Young handsome man were also


    dining while talking business.


    “Ms. Emilee, your offer sounds appealing but I’m afraid your need is beyond me. I’m not the only one


    who runs thepany. Those shareholders won’t agree to it.” He nced at Christine and his eyes


    sparkled.


    That look didn’t escape Emilee’s eagle eyes. She shifted her gaze to her quiet sister who was


    peacefully eating her food without raising her head and cleared her throat.


    “It seems you like my sister.”


    Both Christine and the young man turned their heads simultaneously to look at Emilee.


    Christine had been feeling somewhat nervous because she could feel a hot gaze on her but suddenly


    shifting the attention to her caught her by surprise. Although they were the only ones in the room, it still


    felt awkward.


    The young man was shocked at being called out but he smiledter on and shamelessly epted.


    “Who wouldn’t like a blooming flower?”


    “That’s good… you are right. Which is why, I’ll give her to you, however, the deal is canceled.”


    “Sister!”


    “Ms. Emilee?” The guy frowned.


    Christine was shocked beyond shock. She suddenly felt the room had be too small and she was


    suffocating.


    Despite feeling her sister’s disappointment, Emilee didn’t, for a moment, nce at Christine. Her gaze


    was fixed on the young man in front of him, waiting for his reply.


    The Young Man’s brows were knitted in annoyance. “What do you mean by this?”


    “It’s simple. You like my sister, she wants to work in your agency. She bes your girl, you shield her


    ws. What’s hard to understand?”


    “I’m sorry, Ms. Emilee, I can’t do that. I have principles and morals. Your sister doesn’t seem to like me


    and also, there are tons of talented and gifted artists in mypany. If thepany suddenly takes in


    your sister and starts to massively promote her, hell will break loose. My artist will grow angry and her


    background will be dug. If her secret is found out, it would affect mypany. Will you shield methen?”
