Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 743

Did she like Mr. Perkins?

Of course, she liked him.

Mr. Perkins was the best employer she had ever met. Because she came from an underprivileged background, she had worked at different houses before.

And she never met an employer like him, especially her last employer, who was totally different from Mr. Perkins.

Thinking about that, Elaine nodded and replied, "Yeah, I like him. He's a good man." Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

A... good man?

Looking at Elaine who was wearing a serious look, Ariah was choked speechless.

At the same time, Sharon blurted out, "I think Howard also likes you. Why don't you two try dating?"

With confusion, Elaine blinked her eyes and said, "Sharon, I... I have a fiance already."

Besides, she was just admiring Mr. Perkins. It wasn't the kind between lovers. Why would Sharon and Ariah think that way of her and Mr. Perkins?

Meanwhile, Sharon and Ariah exchanged a glance in embarrassment. It seemed like they had misunderstood the two.

Quickly, Ariah cleared her throat. 'Anyway, the banquet is about to start now. Let's take the baby down to meet the guests."

"Sure." Sharon also stood up.

It was just too embarrassing. They didn't expect that Elaine had a fiance already.

Since both Stanley and Sharon had little relatives, the guests attending the banquet were mostly Stanley's business partners.

Jackson King had also attended the baby shower. Due to his stern look, most people did not dare to approach him.

Looking around, Sharon noticed that only Jackson was here alone.

He was standing in the corner, looking rather stocky.

Sharon carried the baby over to greet him. Seeing the newborn, Jackson praised, "He resembles Stanley a lot."

Then, she handed the baby over. "Brother King, would you like to hug him?"

Jackson had never carried a baby before. Worried that he might hurt the baby, he smiled and waved his hand. "Nah, I'm not good at carrying babies. I'm afraid I might hurt your son."

Saying that, he then asked his adjutant to bring the gift to him.

"Chief, here." The adjutant handed over a box.

When the box was opened, Sharon saw a gold infant bracelet lying in it.

It was a one-in-a-million kind.

"Take this. It's my present for the newborn."

Instead of refusing his kindness, Sharon took the gift from the box and said, "Thank you, Jackson."

Hearing that, Jackson smiled and stroked the baby's forehead. Suddenly, he seemed to see someone and said to Sharon, "I see an acquaintance. I'll talk to you later."

Sharon nodded. "Sure, go ahead."

After Jackson had left, Howard came over. Seeing that she was looking at Jackson's back, he waved his hand in front of her. "Hey!"

Instantly, Sharon snapped back to reality and glared at him. "What? You don't need to accompany Elaine anymore?"

Howard sighed. "Oh well, that d*mned girl only knows how to serve people. The reason why I brought her here today is to broaden her horizons. And yet, she's helping the waiters to serve."

Sharon was amused. As expected, Elaine was among the crowd serving the guests.

With a good- looking appearance and a sweet voice, Elaine was the kind of girl that most men would be drawn to. Soon, a few playboys started to notice her.

Suddenly, Howard snorted and said disdainfully, "Tsk, isn't that *sshole Jakub?"

Following his gaze, Sharon saw that Jackson was conversing with a well-dressed young man, but the young man was completely subservient in front of Jackson.

Meanwhile, Howard's cold voice rang out again. "Why is this *sshole here? Jeez, I can't believe that Stanley actually invites him. He knows that I'm not on good terms with him!"

Hearing how he addressed the young man, Sharon grew curious and asked, "Do you have a grudge against that man?"

With cold laughter, Howard didn't answer her question. "Anyway, Stanley is looking for you."

Then he left.

Now, Sharon grew even curious and she went to find Stanley, wanting to find out some information from him. However, Stanley was talking to someone. Then, she saw Jimmy and Ariah sitting by the side, so she handed the child to the nanny and strode towards them. "Hey, Jimmy."

Since Ariah was about to deliver, she panted easily after taking only a few steps, so Jimmy quickly took her to rest in the corner.

Just as they were chatting, they saw Sharon running towards them with a look of excitement.

Worried that she would accidentally run into Ariah, Jimmy blocked her slightly and asked, "What's up?"

"Do you guys see the man beside Jackson?" she asked with a gossipy look.

Hearing that, the two looked up. Ariah narrowed her eyes for a while and asked uncertainly, "Is that... Jakub King?"

On the other hand, Jimmy recognized the man at a glance and confirmed, "Yep, it's him."

Sharon immediately became excited. "You guys know him?"

"Yeah, why do you ask?" Jimmy raised an eyebrow at her.

Sharon then whispered, "Let me tell you something. Just now when Howard was speaking about Jakub, he was calling him an *sshole and he looked like he wanted to punch Jakub anytime soon. But when I asked him why he was so angry, he ignored me."

"So?"

"So I'm wondering if they had a problem in the past?"

"Fair enough." Jimmy nodded with a straight face. "Do you know what's the relationship between Jackson and Jakub?"

"Since both of them share the same surname, I assume they are related in some way?"

"Well, Jackson is Jakub's uncle."

"I see."

"Yeah, so Jackson is his mother's brother, and Jakub follows his mother's surname."

Now it made sense.

Then, looking at Sharon's bright eyes, he smiled foxily and added, "You know the King Family is an affluent family right? And Jakub is a famous playboy in Beachmarsh City. Due to his strong family background, no one dares to provoke him and he has done many immoral things, not to mention that he has a heavy taste in sex — he's interested in both men and women. Back then, he somehow fell in love with Howard and wanted to have a relationship with him. Knowing that, Howard was enraged and he even got someone to beat Jakub up. If it hadn't been for Jackson's sake, he would have Jakub castrated."

Instantly, Sharon gaped in surprise. "What happened after that?"
