Climbing Up to The Top Summit novel Chapter 137

137 /355

"Miss Zachary told me about your predicament. It's no big deal, really. I just need to make a call, and all will b e good."

It was hard to read Jake Surrey's thoughts. He surveyed Mandy Zimmer from top to bottom and exclaimed, "Miss Zimmer, you really are the goddess o f Niumhi. There's only one as beautiful as you. I have never believed the rumors, but I stand corrected after seeing you. It's unfortunate you're already married. Otherwise, I would very much like to court you.”

Jake's behavior was rather overbearing. When he spoke, his eyes rested on Mandy's body with an intrusive leer which made her quite uncomfortable. However, she needed him to get acquainted with the upper management of York Enterprise. She couldn’t say much.

"Mr. Surrey, you've misunderstood. Mandy is married, and that's a fact. However, that marriage is only on paper. The reality is quite the contrary. That loser live-in son-in-law husband of hers had never once held hands with her in the past three years. Aunt Lilian had always wanted to chase him out." Cecilia Zachary giggled. Her original intention tonight was to matchmake Jake and Mandy. "If there's an excellent suitor, I'm sure both Aunt Lilian and the Zimmer family would welcome him with open arms."

"Cecilia, please don't talk nonsense. I'm not ready to divorce Harvey." Mandy replied, her voice low. An inexplicable guilt crept in as she said this. Harvey still hadn't returned home ever since she chased him out a few days ago. She didn't know where he had gone off t o.

Jake smiled, but said nothing. He shot a glance at Cecilia.

Cecilia could see what was going through Mandy's mind. She held Mandy's slender waist and said," Mandy, what are you thinking? What's that trash good for? He's a worthless live-in son-in-law who lives in your house and eats your food. Why would he be afraid to come home just because you scolded him a little?"

"I'm telling you, that that b*stard is a kept man too. A few days ago while walking on the pedestrian street, I saw him sitting in the front passenger seat of a rich woman's car!"

Mandy was quite shocked. "A rich woman?”

"Of course it's a rich woman! That car was a Ferrari 488. Not any average person can afford that kind of thing. I think it's fine to be a live-in son-in-law if one stays loyal. But not only he’s disloyal, he's also a worthless piece of trash! What's the use of keeping someone like him?" Cecilia crooned. "Even a dog knows to be obedient if you cared for it for long enough. What’s the point of supporting him? Now that you've run into a problem with your business, can he come and solve it for you? What else is he good for aside from upsetting you?"

Mandy was still in disbelief. Harvey wasn't that kind o f person. "Are you telling the truth?”

"How can I not be? One would know the moment they see it. That woman is pretty skilled, even Zayn Lewis wouldn't dare to step on her tail. I suspect she came from the capital. Harvey really has some insane luck t o know a woman as successful as her. Look, I even took a photo."
