Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed novel Chapter 41

Chapter 41 I Do
The arrival of Allen Parker made the atmosphere tense.

He walked in, glanced at Emily standing behind Jackson, and at that moment, Emily was also looking at him.

Emily noticed his jawline.

"You've been observing me?" There was a hint of an ambiguous smile on Allen Parker's lips.

Emily quickly averted her gaze. "No, I..."

Jackson interrupted, "Allen, when did you meet Emily?"

Allen Parker raised an eyebrow. "The day you brought Emily to the banquet."

"But Emily said you two knew each other long before that," Jackson turned to Emily, raising his eyebrows slightly. "So, were you lying to me just now?"

Emily was captured by his gaze, hesitated for a moment, and didn't know how to answer.

"Jackson, be gentler with girls," Allen Parker patted his shoulder. "Fate between people is unpredictable. Perhaps we've met somewhere else before."

His words were ambiguous, and Emily couldn't tell which was true and which was false.

Stepping forward, Jackson stood in front of Emily, blocking her view of Allen Parker. "After this car exhibition, I'll have plenty of time to ask you about this. Emily, let me ask you one last time, are you really not willing to model?"

Emily bit her lip, feeling hesitant.

"Jackson, remember you're pleading with her now."

Jackson tightly pursed his lips. "Even if I give you money? Tell me, how much? Whatever amount you want, I'll give it to you."

Emily furrowed her brow. "I've said it before, I won't do it even if you give me ten million."

"Emily," Allen Parker said softly, "this car exhibition is the result of Jackson's hard work over the years, and it's the most important one among these eight exhibitions. I understand you don't want to compromise your principles, but could you help him out? If you refuse monetary compensation, perhaps we can offer other rewards, or I can try to contact a cardiac surgeon from Europe to treat your father."

As he spoke, Allen Parker's gaze was focused, sincere, not intimidating.

This was quite similar to Mr. Satan's demeanor.

Was he hoping to help Jackson with these words?

Emily bit her lip and asked, "Mr. Parker, may I ask you a question?"

"Another question?" Allen Parker chuckled. "Sure, go ahead."

"Have you ever loved a woman deeply? Where is she now?"

Jackson exploded immediately, "Emily, what are you thinking? Are you so curious about my brother's love life?"

Emily firmly said, "I need to confirm some things before deciding whether to help or not."

Jackson chuckled, hands in his pockets. "What do you need to confirm? Why don't you just ask if my brother likes you? Willing to be your boyfriend?"

"Jackson!" Allen Parker's tone carried a warning. "These things aren't secrets. Since Emily wants to know, I can tell her. Yes, I once loved a woman deeply, but she's already engaged, so I decided not to disturb her and quietly withdrew. Are you satisfied with this answer?"

Emily took a deep breath, finally feeling less nervous.
