Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 335

Suddenly, she realized if they had tried this method earlier, they wouldn't have been separated from each other for such a long time.

Grandpa Benjamin's efficiency and tact impressed her very much.

"Jean..." Maranda called snapping her back to reality.

"Yes?" Jean drew back her attention and fixed her eyes on Maranda, waiting for her question.

"What are you looking at?" asked Maranda, confused,"Do you know that gentleman?"

Maranda had noticed that Jean kept her eyes fixated on Benjamin. She frowned slightly and said,"He looked familiar to me. I wonder where I have met him before."

Now Jean understood her friend, Maranda, was still kept in the dark. Guilt filled her and she took two glasses of wine from the waiter's tray. "Let's find somewhere quiet, sit down and talk," Jean said while she handed her a glass.

"I like the idea." In truth, Maranda was really tired trying to fit in this big party. Together, they walked towards one of the corners of the room and both sunk in the big couch. Maranda sighed after one sip of her wine and said,"I hate going to parties, but my boss invited me. I came only because I knew I could meet you here."

"Thank you, Maranda," Jean looked at Maranda and spoke from the bottom of her heart. "Thank you for all the things you have done for me, and thank you for taking care of me."

"You silly, you don't need to thank me." Maranda was a bit disappointed hearing what Jean said. "We're friends. Don't ever say thank you to me again. Besides, I didn't really do anything helpful here. Sonny is amazing. He can easily get rid of the rumors by inviting the media to prove the news false. That kind of tactic is something we really need to learn! I am beyond impressed now,"

Maranda said looking awe-struck.

Jean responded back with a smile.

Maranda was right. This party worked well. She knew that Sonny had only a small role in this plan.

But she wasn't willing to inform Maranda about it yet. She was certain she would be bombarded with a million questions from Maranda.

Maranda gets excited easily, and Jean didn't have the energy to explain at the moment.

"Jean, Maranda, here you are..." John, who was in a perfect-cut suit, called and came over to them.

Maranda turned around and saw John standing with a smile. Luckily, Maranda wasn't as shy as she used to be and teasingly asked,"John, how did you find the time to say hi to us? Don't you need to help your boss entertain the guests?"

"There are some really big people out there and they have no interest in me. I am more comfortable to chat with you guys," John answered as he sat down on the couch and drank up his wine.

"Yeah, you are right. There are some really big shots over there," Maranda agreed. She knew more upper-class people than Jean did. Feeling confused, she asked,"Sonny's photography firm isn't that famous then why so many big shots are here today? Do we have a mystery guest tonight?"

Now John shot Jean a look and realized she wasn't going to say anything. Then he replied,"You are thinking too much. It is very normal for the big shots to take an opportunity to brag about their career."

"Okay," Maranda responded while she still looked doubtful. "But did we really need such a good event?"

"Sure, the more famous people come here, the more attention they bring to this party. That's how this party will appear on the front page of tomorrow's newspaper! I believe the rumors about the video will change tomorrow," John explained with a bright smile on his face.

"I agree with you about that," Maranda said nodding her head. She then looked at Jean, smiled and said,"Jean and I just heard people gossip about the video. They seem to have changed their opinion."

"If we have evidence to prove that the video has been edited, I think in a matter of days, this news will disappear." "Yes, that's true,"
