Knowing when to stop, Christopher allowed Isabe and Gordon to enter the
venue first while he went to park the car.
Gordon watched as Christopher drove towards the parking lot and let out a
disdainful snort. “Such a hypocrite.”
She nced at Gordon’s Porsche. “Aren’t you going to park your car?”
“I can even drive it into the venue.” Gordon boasted arrogantly. Just then, he
couldn’t help but nce disdainfully at Christopher’s departing figure. “He’s
just pretending. He usually enjoys racing; does he care where he parks his
car?”
Hearing that, Isabe stayed silent; she never held Christopher in high regard
to begin with.
Gordon massaged his waist, about toin, when he suddenly noticed
her silence. Furrowing his brows, he asked, not too kindly, “You don’t actually
think that hypocrite is a gentleman, do you?”

She shrugged. “No.”

After a snort, he grabbed her hand and led her towards the venue while
continuing to criticize Christopher. “He’s the best at pretending and likes to
backstab people. Stay away if you don’t want him to take advantage of you.”
Isabe sensed that his words were off and looked puzzled. “Didn’t you give
him my contact information?”
Gordon stopped in his tracks as if he had heard a colossal joke. “Me?”
She nodded. “Yes, he said that when he contacted me.”
After some thought, he then cursed with a disgusted expression. “It was
probably Tyrone and those idiots.”
“How did they know my contact information?”
His face darkened, and his tone was unfriendly. “I wanted to help you get
some business, so I gave them your contact information.”

Touched, she patted him on the shoulder. “You’re really considerate.”
At once, his expression softened, and he raised an eyebrow. “Are you
moved?”
She nodded. “Yes.”
“Then be my girlfriend,” Gordon stated bluntly.
Isabe couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “I take back what I said.”
Hearing that, he clicked his tongue. “You were just verbally moved? What’s
the difference from having a fake girlfriend?”
Resigned, she quickly changed the subject. “Enough of that. Tell me about
your conflict with Christopher. It seems like you two have some grudges.”
Gordon evaded her gaze, not answering immediately.
She had a feeling she touched on something he didn’t like people to talk
about, and she regretted speaking out of turn.

Just as they entered the venue, Jonas, still wearing bandages on his head,
greeted them with a smile. “Mr. Dunkstein, it’s such an honor to have you here.
Thank you for your presence.”
This guy was already plump, and with his face and head swollen from
yesterday’s collision, he looked quiteical.
Gordon’s mood was already bad, and Jonas’ approach happened to block
his way. He scanned the other party coldly. “I’m not here to be courteous. No
need to be so happy.”
Jonas was rendered speechless.
On the side, Isabe’s lips twitched; she wanted tough but held it back.
Jonas’ face became even more swollen from Gordon’s retort. He tried to say
something several times but couldn’t find the right words.
After clearing her throat, Isabe intervened. “Mr. Stokes, you were just
hospitalized yesterday. How did you get discharged so quickly?”

“He’s dedicated to his work.”
Suddenly, Abigail appeared, swaying her hips while holding a champagne
ss, presenting herself as if she were attending a high-end ball. She stood
beside Jonas but kept casting flirtatious nces at Gordon. “Mr. Dunkstein,
please don’t bother Mr. Stokes too much. If it weren’t for weing an
esteemed guest like you, he would still be in the hospital.”
She was speaking in a sweet and coquettish manner, sounding like she was
speaking on behalf of Jonas, but in reality, her gaze was fixed on Gordon.
Gordon usually didn’t like this kind of woman, especially those tantly
showing off their intentions. He was about to retort fiercely, but before he
could do so, Isabe beat him to it.
“Mr. Stokes, Mr. Dunkstein has a straightforward personality. Please don’t take
it personally.”
Jonas didn’t dare to take it personally. Laughing nervously, he continued to
tter Gordon. “I understand. Young people like Mr. Dunkstein with strong
personalities surely have their temper.”

After that, he turned to the side and made a gesture, inviting them inside.
“This way, Mr. Dunkstein. I’ve reserved front-row seats for you.”
It wasn’t wise to respond to someone showing friendliness with hostility. So,
despite his bad mood, Gordon refrained from further retorts. If he continued,
it would seem like he was being a bully.
He grabbed Isabe’s hand and walked past Jonas, swaggering into the
exhibition hall.
Isabe looked helpless. This man couldn’t care less about offending people,
but in the end, she was the one who had to deal with it. Jonas couldn’t handle
Gordon but had ways to deal with her.
Gordon led her to the exhibition hall, where people were gathered around aText ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
newly released McLaren. Beside it, a beautiful car model showcased the
aesthetic fusion of humans and cars from various angles.
“It costs over eight million. It’s quite expensive,” someone whispered.
Isabe peeked her head and took a look at the car, feeling a bit tempted
“Do you like it?” Gordon suddenly asked.
She nodded. “Who wouldn’t?”
As he looked at her, he captured a glint of light in her eyes, and his heart
stirred. He thought, What’s so great about this car and the car model? They
are far less appealing than Isabe.
“I’ll buy it for you,” he blurted out without even thinking.
Isabe was stunned. Meanwhile, the surrounding crowd who heard that also
looked over, curious to see who the generous man was.
