Chapter 410 Knocked Out of His Nuts
Get Honths
Gilbert advised Donahueiel with unwavering patience, “Listen, whenever a woman is upset, it’s the man’s fault. To win her over, you must show her your genuine intentions. Got it?”
Donahueiel tapped his knees, inquiring earnestly, “What does it mean to be sincere?”
Gilbert took a swig of his drink, his brow furrowing with the shocking flavor.
“Are you still waiting down the building? Don’t leave. Just stay put until she emerges.”
Donahueiel scoffed at Gilbert’s clichéd advice.
“Do you think this is some mindless soap opera? There’s no torrential downpour or car crash here, and Janet won’t cradle me in her arms, weeping uncontrollably.”
Remembering Janet’s icy expression and piercing gaze, Donahueiel was certain she’d see through this amateurish ploy in a heartbeat.
Gilbert clicked his tongue, itching to grab Donahueiel’s shoulders through the phone and shake some sense into him..
“Who knows women better, you or me? Don’t dismiss the power of a seemingly trite plot. Every woman harbors a youthful spirit and dreams of fairy–tale romance. Even if she calls you out, deep down, she’ll be delighted.”
After some hesitation, Donahueiel decided to put his faith in Gilbert just this once.
After all, Gilbert was a notorious playboy who’d charmed countless women, making him far more adept at navigating women’s hearts.
Alfred pulled up right in front of the Green Building, switched off the headlights, and the two sat in the shadows, enveloped by silence.
After a lengthy pause, Alfred cautiously ventured a reminder.

“Mr. Webster, why don’t you go out and wait? I’m worried that Madam won’t recognize
your car. If she misses it, won’t we have waited in vain?”
Donahueiel thought it over and got out of the car.
It was not until eleven o’clock at night that Janet finally finished dealing with the day’s
affairs and headed downstairs with Marco.
As soon as she stepped outside, Janet spotted a black van parked under the dim
streetlights. A tall figure stood beside the car, fiddling with his phone.
“That’s… Mr. Webster?”
Marco narrowed his eyes, using the light from the streetlamp to make out the man’s
face.
Janet was also looking at Donahueiel. What was he doing here instead of going home in the middle of the night?
Could it be that he had something important to discuss with her?
As she wondered, Donahueiel looked up and saw her.
The two locked eyes from a distance of five or six meters. The air between them was
silent and heavy.
After a while, Donahueiel straightened up and opened the back door of the car. He got
back into the car without a word.
Janet’s mind was full of question marks. She stared at Donahueiel’s retreating back in
confusion, wondering what game he was playing.
Didn’t he have something to tell her? Then why was he here in the middle of the night?
Marco was also confused and tentatively asked Janet.
“Does Mr. Webster have business with you?”
“He’s neurotic.”
Janet stared speechlessly at Donahueiel’s car before turning around and leaving.
When Donahueiel got back into the car, he kicked the front seat with his leather shoes.
“Did she look back at me?”
Alfred rolled down the window on the passenger side. He was lying on the seat with only his eyes visible.
“She did.”
Alfred nodded vigorously.
Although Madam’s expression was more like a glare, that still counted as “looking,” right?
Donahueiel’s lips curled up in satisfaction. The haze in his heart finally cleared, and he
relaxed.
He texted Gilbert to inform him of the outcome of his operation. Gilbert responded
quickly.
“Good job! This is called appealing to pathos. If you want to speak, you cry first. It works on both men and women. Although you didn’t shed tears, walking away without saying a word is enough to pique her interest.”
Appealing to pathos? That was sick.
Having tasted a bit of success with his trick, Donahueiel came to the Green Building
Meanwhile, Janet was in her office, engaged in a video call with an overseas client.
