Chapter 50
At that instant, Connor was shocked.
“*******! Why are you cursing all of a sudden? That’s rude! I didn’t even do that when I lost so much money.”
He added, “You have to know that I use my own salary. My family doesn’t even give me money at all.”
Connor pursed his lips.
At this *****, he realized that Robert was looking at Hugh.
He did curse just now.
Somehow, he was not cursing at Connor.
Instead, he was facing Hugh.
He was immediately interested.
Hugh also noticed Robert’s gaze.
He turned sideways and looked back.
“Robert, what happened?”
There was an unnoticeable nervousness in his voice.
Robert coughed lightly.
“Well… You should see for yourself.”
Apparently, Robert couldn’t say it.
He was afraid that Hugh would kill him.
Actually, he didn’t even want to show the photos to Hugh.
He was afraid that Hugh would lose control.
He might go to Nightshade Bar and do something dangerous.
But he had to look at it from the perspective of a friend.
He still had to explain.
Otherwise, if Hugh found out, Robert would be doomed.
Hugh frowned and walked over to take the phone.
After seeing the photo, his face instantly darkened
At that ****, he exuded such a terrifying and cold aura.
Not only that…
He seemed like he was jealous too.
Robert shivered from the cold.
“Um… Hugh, calm down,” he said.
Otherwise, Robert was afraid that Hugh might slam his phone.
Although it was not that expensive, the information stored in the phone itself was much more important.
“What’s that?”
Connor was intrigued.
He quickly leaned forward to take a look.
He suddenly widened his eyes.
His response was similar to Robert’s.
“Holy ***!”
Robert complained, “And you still said I’m rude just now? What about you?”
It made it seem like the two of them were taken aback.
“No wonder I smelled something.”
Seemingly, Connor fearlessly tried to provoke.
He added, “But the man in this photo looks like a foreigner? He looks kind of familiar. That’s strange.”
“Jane even brought him to Nightshade Bar openly. Tsk… Tsk…”
Hugh threw the phone back to Robert and said coldly, “He’s Andy.”
“Andy? That top lawyer? Oh, right! Look at the blonde hair and pale skin!”
However, this photo did not capture Andy’s iconic jade-green eyes.
Otherwise, he would have recognized him immediately.
“Jane actually knows Andy? And she actually has a connection with Andy?”
Robert was shocked.
Even Robert, it was extremely difficult for him to meet Andy.
This was not something Robert could have a say in
He could only make an appointment and see if Andy was in the mood to meet him.
It was as if seeing Andy was purely luck-based.
After all, there would always be a need for him to seek help from a lawyer to run a business.
Everyone dreamt of having a connection with such an invincible lawyer like Andy.
“Looks like the woman Hugh likes is indeed extraordinary. After all, she has Type Omega blood like Hugh. She’s not an ordinary person.”
Connor smiled meaningfully after saying that.
He could not wait for the show to begin.
He would not mind at all.
He was too bored playing cards with Robert tonight, and he kept losing!
He was filled with anger!
He might as well watch Hugh get jealous!
That was such a rare scene.
He could not help but imagine what it would be like when a first-class
lawyer like Andy went against the president of D.Y. Group, Hugh.
How exciting it would be!
“Pack up. Let’s go to Nightshade Bar with me.”
Hugh left the room after saying that.
“Yes, sir!”
Connor quickly followed.
Robert’s lips twitched.
He wanted to kick Connor’s ***.
It seemed to him that Connor was really looking for trouble.
He clearly knew that Hugh was jealous.
He even dared to smile so cheekily.
Soon, he would regret it.
Meanwhile, Larry and Peter were at the Nightshade Bar
Seeing that Peter had been staring in Jane’s direction, Larry’s lips twitched.
“Peter, do you think… Jane has noticed our presence?”
As far as Larry was concerned, Jane did not even glance at them.
“I think she noticed, but she probably doesn’t care anymore.”
Peter felt a little upset as he said this.
He couldn’t help but recall those days when Jane had just returned to the Fowler family. When she first saw Peter, she looked so timid and shy.
It was obvious that she felt uneasy yet excited to reunite with the family. However, he chose to ignore Jane and doted on Madelyn in front of her.
At that time, Jane looked so hurt that Peter did not even dare to think about how deeply she was hurt.
But she did care about him back then.
Now, she was not even looking at him. She was chatting happily with Andy. This meant that Jane really didn’t care about him anymore.
“Speaking of which, that’s the legendary lawyer, Andy. This is the first time I’ve seen him in person. He’s the first-class lawyer that no one in Crucsia dares to offend.”
He added, “Even the Shane family has to spend a lot of effort to meet him. He’s indeed breathtakingly handsome and has a unique beauty. No wonder there are rumors that everyone in the court would be seduced by his beauty and that’s how he became the invincible lawyer.”
“Peter, Jane can talk to such a big shot easily and even seem to have a close relationship with him…”
He then continued, “To be honest, I guess your sister has been hiding her real strength. She’s not as helpless as you described in the past!”
In fact, Larry was right.
He thought of what Peter and Larry said about Jane back then.
Because of that, he had always thought that Jane was weak, useless, and inferior to Madelyn.
He also had no idea why Anna wanted to find Jane and bring her back to
the Fowler family Apparently, they no longer belonged to the same world. This would only trouble the family and make Madelyn sad.
At that time, Larry felt that Peter’s words were a little too harsh, but he did not stop the latter.
After all, Larry and Madelyn were quite close. He was naturally more biased toward Madelyn.
Moreover, Peter was Larry’s good friend. Larry could not give any comment about his family matter.
Now, he felt as if he was getting a slap in the face.
He could not believe Jane was the weak and useless sister that they described to him back then.
Anyhow, she looked like she was a hidden big shot.
Peter was speechless.
Still, it was understandable.
After all, Peter had never really gotten to know Jane in person.
Frankly, Peter had nobody else but himself to blame for that.
Before this, Peter had never thought of entering Jane’s world to really try to understand her.
All he ever thought about was chasing Jane out of the Fowler family. He was too busy trying not to let Madelyn discover Jane’s true identity.
He even wished that Jane would just ****and disappear forever.
When Jane revealed her actual capability, Peter submitted to her.
When Jane threatened to sue Jack, she even invited a legendary lawyer like Andy.
He wondered how much more Jane was hiding from him.
He thought to himself, “Is it too late for me to get to know you now?”
