Chapter 147: Are You a Hedgehog
Seeing Jerry arrive, Kimberly immediately toned down her sharp and mean expression, but still muttered angrily. “Helping outsiders against your own people!*
Skylar wasn’t as tough as before and just asked, “Why?”
“I told my grandma that I would send her a few custom–made outfits,”
Jerry smiled, “I’m taking Hope Royston back this weekend to hear her thoughts. If you bully her and she gets mad at me, how will I explain it to my grandma?”
Kimberly’s face turned fierce, “You’re taking her to see Mrs. Hammer!”
“What’s it to you?”
Jerry was laconic and didn’t bother to say more.
Kimberly snorted coldly, “Mrs. Hammer always values reputation and rules. How could she possibly allow such a woman…”
“Kimberly Harris, if my grandma can tolerate someone like you, Ms. Royston will probably be very well–liked by her.
Even in front of Skylar, Jerry didn’t spare Kimberly any face.
Skylar, holding back her anger, compromised, “Alright, for your sake, we won’t hold it against her for now!”
“Take care.”
Jerry’s voice was indifferent, directly dismissing them
Jerry’s an
attitude of not caring about anyone made people grit their teeth in anger, but they didn’t dare to argue
As Kimberly and Skylar walked away, I turned to Jerry to thank him, “Thank you. Why did you come?”
“You owe me three meals,”
Jerry casually pulled out a chair and sat down lazily, “Didn’t I just say? I’m here to take care of your business.”
I didn’t believe him, “Are you really that kind–hearted?”
Jerry was someone who never did anything without a benefit.
He never made a losing deal.
Jerry clicked his tongue, raising an eyebrow, “Looks like you’re starting to understand me. You’re right, I’m here to discuss a business deal with you.”
“What kind of business?”
“You make a few outfits for my grandma, and in return, agree to one of my requests later.”
I frowned, “I make the outfits and agree to your request? You call that a business deal?”
No matter how I looked at it, I was
as the one getting the short end of the stick.
There was no mutual benefit.
Jerry leaned back in the chair, his long legs sprawled out casually, “Mrs. Valence, als no, former Mrs. Valence…”
I interrupted, “I have a name, Hope Royston.”
For some reason, Jerry always liked to call me “Mrs. Valence.”
Coming from Jerry’s mouth, it always had a mocking tone.

“Alright, Ms. Royston
Jerry corrected himself indifferently, “I’ll pay for the custom outfits, but those high–society ladies in Maple Valley often visit my grandma to play mahjong…”
“Got it!”
I realized.
Custom outfits are aimed at the upper–middle class.
And the Hammer family is at the top in Maple Valley, a family everyone wants to associate with
If Jerry’s grandma, Grace Taylor, wore clothes I designed, would I still worry about not breaking into the market?
However, I looked at Jerry warily, “What is the request you want me to agree to?”
After what happened at the last party, I’ve learned my lesson.
Jerry’s actions are always unpredictable; I wouldn’t feel at ease without asking in advance.
“Haven’t thought about it yet.”
Jerry shrugged, looking at me with interest, “Do you think you have anything worth my trouble to deceive you for?”
I was speechless for a moment, then after some thought, agreed, “Alright, I agree.”
Although Jerry was unpredictable, he had never done anything bad to me
For the Maple Valley market, it was worth the gamble.
Everything was settled, but Jerry had no intention of leaving.
I couldn’t help but ask, “You’re not leaving?”
Jerry played with his phone, not even looking up. Tm waiting for you to get off work.”

this about?
“A friend dropped me off earlier, and I don’t have a car.”
Jerry said as he showed me his watch, “You’re about to get off work soon, give me a ride.”
“I’ll call you a car.”
I took out my phone, but Jerry frowned and said indifferently, “I never take outside cars.”
Fine.
It’s only natural for heirs to have their quirks.
I had nothing to say, “Then wait.”
I turned and went into my office, and Elissa came over shortly after.
Elissa winked at me, “Why is the Hammer family heir still here?”
“Waiting for a ride.”
I answered helplessly.

Elissa sat down in the chair opposite me, resting her elbows on the desk and propping her face with her hands.
“I noticed that the Harris mother and daughter are quite afraid of him. Why don’t you get closer to him? If something happens, he might help you out.”
“Don’t even think about it.

I refused without a second thought, “Do you
Jerry might seem carefree, but he’s very clear–headed.
No one can use Jerry.
Elissa shook her finger, “No, no, no. Who said anything about using him? We should be sincere…”
“Get back to work.”
I took a piece of leftover cake and stuffed it into Elissa’s mouth, “If it’s intentional, it’s not sincere,”
You can fool others, but not Jerry.
“Alright!”
Elissa mumbled with her mouth full of cake, got up, and left. Halfway out, she turned back to my desk, “Didn’t you say you had someone deal with Kimberly? Why is she still fine today?
I’ll ask about it.”
