Chapter 728
“Mrs. Lewis wants Duncan to marry a woman whose family has at least several billions of dollars in assets. She thinks that’s the kind of woman who is worthy of Duncan.”
Duncan himself had a net worth of tens of billions of dollars.
Mrs. Lewis felt that her youngest son was excellent in every aspect except for his scarred face. Since her son was so outstanding, only an equally outstanding woman would be worthy of him.
Josh thought Mrs. Lewis appeared friendly, but in fact, she was rather condescending. When he met Mrs. Lewis at a banquet, Mrs. Lewis would only talk to other women with similar status to her and would look down on everyone else.
Perhaps Duncan knew his mother too well and felt that it was difficult to find a girlfriend who could satisfy his mother, so he just gave up.
If Duncan were present, he would say, “I really don’t like anyone. That’s why I’m not dating.”
“By the way, are you pursuing Ms. Sox or her younger brother? When I returned from my business trip, I heard that you invited Drake to dinner every now and then and occasionally accompanied him to races. You even lent him your race car.’
Zachary leaned closer to Josh and said with a smile, “Josh, I heard gossip that’s related to you. Do you want to hear it?”
Josh scoffed and said, “Who can beat me when it comes to gossip? I’ve known about it. Some people see that I’m always with Drake, so they suspect that I like young and handsome men.”
Every time Josh invited Drake to dinner, Jasmine followed too, so why didn’t those people see her?
Josh was taking the brother-in-law route to woo his future wife!
“Ms. Sox doesn’t hate me, but I think she doesn’t like my background. That’s not something I can control. So many women envy my background, but Jasmine actually despises me for being overly rich and doesn’t want to date me.
“Most women dislike their boyfriends for being poor, but the girl I like dislikes me for being rich. That’s why my only way is to start with Drake, who idolizes me. He shows up as soon as I ask him out.
He thought Josh was good with women, but it turned out that Josh was no better than him.
