Chapter 330 The Jerk
The three of them quickly planned to discuss everything further on another day while I was sidelined.
“Eva will be staying in Manovia, so she can represent both of your families in discussions with me. I won’t be going back for now.” Jack’s tone was flat, exuding a businesslike demeanor.
But Jill kept winking at me, and I knew exactly what she was implying
I hurriedly shook my head, signaling her to stop thinking that way.
lil poured. “By the way, why is Leonard in Manovia? He hasn’t been doing well these past few months.”
Since the last cross–province project was hijacked, the Harmon family seemed to have taken a nosedive.
Several subsequent projects had encountered issues too.
Emma had tried to salvage things and managed to secure a few projects, but ultimately, Amelia muddied the waters.
“She’s a troublemaker, a real jinx. Wherever she goes,
JUI did not like Amelia, especially since she had ruined Caleb’s collaboration. Most of our conversation centered around criticizing Amelia and Leonard
I felt exhausted after finally dropping Jill and Zack off at their hotel. They had a meeting to attend, so Jack drove me directly back to the dorm.
As soon as I got out of the car, Astrid rushed over.
“Did Jill come? Did she bring me any snacks?“”
Jack retrieved a suitcase filled with snacks from the trunk
Astrid snitted around the suitcase excitedly, “Beef jerky! I smell it!”
I watched her struggle to drag the suitcase, completely ignoring me.
After thanking Jack again, he nodded and drove away emotionlessly.
Back in the dorm, Astrid began to unpack her spoils.
“Beef jerky, gummies, and my favorite chocolate! Jill is such an angell I’ll treat her to a big meal tomorrow.”
I wanted to point out that she wouldn’t even be able to finish eating all of it, but seeing her so excited made me hold bark.

“Eva, I heard you ran into your ex–husband and his current girlfriend?”
“Did I tell you?”
“Jack did. I didn’t know he was so gossipy.”
She plopped down on my chair.
“Jack told me to keep an eye on you and not let them find you at school. Even after the divorce, your ex–husband still can’t forget you? You should stay away from a jerk like him.”
“How do you know he’s a jerk?”
