Sweet Sorrow

Chapter 60 Give Her A Warning

The annual "green vision" charity banquet had invited major celebrities from various fields, including Jacob and some high-level scholars and media journalists.

As the luxurious crystal chandelier lights were shining, various kinds of evening dresses were served on these young men and women, each holding a glass full of champagne to refill their glasses, while a trace of flattery or complacency was revealed on their faces.

Kayla was the happiest one among them. She raised her chin high and complacently received the envious and jealous looks from others.

Because her companion tonight was the only son of the Gu family, a well-known family in the A City, Jacob.

Kayla didn't expect to attend the party with Jacob.

She had just signed an advertisement of a industry owned by the Gu family. When she came over to take photos, she happened to meet Jacob. She was determined to be rejected, so she invited him to a party. She thought it was impossible, because Jacob had never appeared with any artists in the entertainment industry before, but unexpectedly, he agreed!

Although Jacob had been looking listless from the beginning to the end, she didn't care about it. She believed that as long as the investors and producer knew that she was his female companion, she would succeed.

Everyone in this world wanted to be connected with Gu family.

"Mr. Jacob, this is the director, Melody Qiu. I will cooperate with him for my next movie. He is also the best new director of this year." Kayla introduced all of the directors she knew to Jacob one by one.

Jacob's family didn't have much business relationship with entertainment industry, so he didn't know these people before. But today, he even greeted them with a smile.

Repressing the frustration in his heart, Jacob offered the greetings to Kayla, "I'm a little tired. Would you like to take a seat over there?"

Kayla was talking with a famous director in the movie circle and she was unwilling to leave. Seeing this, Jacob said gently, "It's Okay. You go on with your talks. I'll wait for you over there."

Such considerate words made both Kayla and the movie director stunned.

Although Kayla knew that Jacob was just trying to be a gentleman, she still blushed.

'if I can marry into the Gu family, will I stop working so hard?'. This idea emerged in her mind.

Jacob strode towards Frank and sat down with his back to the banquet hall. His smile disappeared immediately.

With a cunning smile, Frank moved to a place next to Jacob's, and bumped into his shoulder. "When did you hook up with her, Jacob?"

"What do you mean?" Jacob took a sip of champagne.

Frank said, "Well, well, well, well, well. When did you hook up with Kayla? You boy, very efficient."

Jacob turned his head and glanced at Kayla. Then he said coldly to Frank, "just now."

"No way. You just knew each other. How can you ask her to be your female companion?" Frank looked at Jacob from head to toe, showing that he didn't believe Jacob. He said, "you can frighten others, but not me."

"That's true, I just met her a few days ago. She was working on a daily advertising for my family, and I happened to run into her. She invited me to be her male companion, and I agreed." Explained Jacob.

"That's all?" Frank said incredulously.

"That's it," Jacob nodded

Frank wanted to ask Jacob how he was getting along with Nicole, but he didn't think it was appropriate to ask such a question at this moment, so he made an indirect inquiry, "how's Kayla? Pretty good, right?"

"What is good?" Jacob asked in confusion.

"You say what's good? Of course, it's you who feel good about her." Frank frowned and said, "why is it so difficult to communicate with you? Are you drunk, or am I drunk?"

"I don't know. So so?" Jacob raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was still a few hours before the party was over. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Frank grumbled in a low voice, "what do you mean by 'so so'? You went to the party together at the first sight. If this woman doesn't have any special charm, how could you be so free to come with her together? I've never seen you being so casual before. "

Hearing what Frank said, Jacob sighed slightly.

Even though he heaved a sigh of relief, Frank was keenly aware of that.

"What's wrong? Is there any other reason? " Frank asked.

This time, instead of dodging, Jacob looked at Frank and said, "do you know that my family has arranged a fiancee for me?"

"Well I know. "

"I don't like it." Jacob took another glass and drained it.

Frank glanced at Kayla, who was always peering at Jacob, and then looked at Jacob, confused. "So you brought her here just to let your fiancee see it?"

"And my father." Jacob added.

This time, it was Frank's turn to heave a sigh. Shaking the glass of wine in his hand, he said in a tone of indignation, "all families like us do the same things. A marriage bound with no interests is the worst reliable thing in the eyes of the elders. Now, it's you. But soon, it will be me."

Jacob didn't respond, but drank in silence.

Frank continued to complain, "I really don't understand. Our parents have the freedom to fall in love with each other. Why should we be responsible for the marriage of our families? Don't you think it's that too much? "

"I can promise them anything else, except this one, I can't let them decide it for me." Staring at the twinkling liquid in his glass, Jacob said in a determined tone.

"Are you not going to set yourself against your father, are you? If you really get him angry, things will be difficult to deal with..."Frank looked at Jacob in a worry.

As a friend who grew up with Jacob together, Frank knew how powerful Jacob's father, David was.

"Of course I won't try to beat him directly. But I can always try to beat him in a roundabout way," Said Jacob, grinning broadly.

Frank continued to guess, "for example, you took Kayla here on purpose today, so that the people who don't know you might think that you are close to each other. In addition, the identity of her actress is very convenient for you to spread the news and gossip. You don't have to do anything. You can give your fiancee a warning."

Speaking of Daisy, Jacob's face darkened. "I have warned her in person. If she doesn't know how to behave, then I'll do a show, let her see, and let my father see it too."

Frank understood what Jacob meant, so he said with a bitter smile, "what if she doesn't mind? You have so many women outside, but she still wants to marry you. Do you want to go in vain?"

"Her family would mind if she doesn't mind." Pursing his lips, Jacob said in an affirmative tone.
