Chapter 16 Develop Real Feelings
Asher didn't think it was a pity. He had heard that Alicia had a cruel and arrogant temperament, just like the person in power in the Gibson family.
Moreover, with the Gibson family's status in Elfold comparable to the Larsen family's in Oakpool, she might become even more unruly and lawless.
To marry such a woman would only bring trouble to oneself.
He replied nonchalantly, "It was never my turn anyway. Grandfather intended for Jeff to marry her."
Joyce sneered, "Come on, he is Jefferson, the person your grandfather wants to meet but is not easy to see. So how would he listen to his arrangements?"
"That's true."
Thinking of Jefferson's gaze towards him earlier today, Asher couldn't help but shiver.
The night was slightly cool.
When Albert returned, Jefferson was standing by the window, smoking.
Hearing the sound, he turned around and asked, "Did you send her back?"
His clothes were loose, his desire still lingering, looking disheveled and lazy. Albert even felt a bit embarrassed.
"I sent her back. She should be back at the Plum Compound by now."
"OK."
Jefferson exhaled a puff of smoke.
Albert couldn't help but say, "You put in so much effort. Why didn't you personally send Ms. Gentry?"
"What a good opportunity to flirt."
Jefferson pinched his cigarette, smiling ambiguously. "Want to flirt?"
"Hehehe."
Albert slapped himself, forced a smile, and said, "I was just talking nonsense, just talking nonsense."
He looked at Jefferson's expression and said, "Ms. Gentry is Asher's fiancée. Although Asher is useless, if this matter is held by Neil, it will be a big deal."
Jefferson glanced at him and asked, "What do you mean?"
