Chapter 939 Handsome Youth
The scene was at the Jones residence.
At the banquet last night, the Jones family were the laughing stock in the eyes of the guests, so halfway through, they made excuses and left in despair.
Olivia was embarrassed in Amos’ presence, so she hardly slept that night, and her eyes were swollen like two walnuts when she woke up in the morning.
Jada looked at her daughter’s tired face and felt sorry for her. “What had happened is irreversible, so you mustn’t take it to heart. Furthermore, Mr. Carlos didn’t say anything about you. Just be cautious in everything you do in the future. Your marriage into the Stone family will not be affected in any way.”
Tearfully, Olivia sipped her drink and nodded.
Bridger flipped the pages of the newspaper in his hand and said in a solemn voice, “Olivia, the marriage between the Jones and the Stone families is not about romantic love. It is a unification to strengthen the power of our two clans.”
“I know that, Dad.”
After she spoke, Bridger continued to ask, “By the way, how is the preparation for Farrington Jewelry’s new season? This matter is now the top priority. Suppose the sales of Farrington Jewelry in the new season still do not pick up. In that case, the financial report will show that the company has been losing money for three consecutive years, which will greatly impact you and the Jones family. Whether you can have a greater say in Farrington Jewelry depends on your results in this battle. On previous occasions, you talked to me, saying you are quite certain of being able to employ Muse. Is there any news?”
At that, Olivia choked and her gaze began to wander.
Bridger could see through Olivia’s guilty conscience at a glance, and his face suddenly became solemn. “What? What are you busy with during this time? Don’t tell me you haven’t discussed it with Muse yet?”
As Bridger’s expression turned solemn, the coldness of his countenance made Olivia uncomfortable.
She could not bring herself to tell him the truth and say she had not discussed the matter with Muse.
