Chapter 42
Originally, he should have been relieved that she had self–awareness.
However, an inexplicable rage inexplicably grew in his heart, even his facial features were tinged with a hint of chill.
Mira: ???
No, she had already blessed him with a sincere face, why did she still- have an expression as if she owed him hundreds of thousands?
At that moment, Zackary suddenly said, “Sister–in–law, I didn’t expect you to be so generous, I misjudged you.”
This time, Jacey also felt a bit of agreement in her heart. She didn’t expect Mira to have such self–awareness. This was good, she hoped that Mira would know when to back off, so she wouldn’t have to resort to some impolite measures to deal with her personally.
Only Hugh was toying with the delicate teacup in his hand, a hint of danger showing on his handsome face, “Oh, how generous? Do tell.”
Zackary gossiped, “I have a brother, ever since he got married, whenever he gets a bit close to any woman outside, his wife would make a big fuss when she gets home. Look at sister–in–law, she saw you with Hugh and Jacey together, she didn’t get jealous or envious, but generously sent blessings. That’s why I said sister–in–law is magnanimous.”
Hugh sneered
Generous?
Even if being magnanimous, I wouldn’t have taken away all his blankets last night.
He had never met a woman who was more petty and more vindictive than her.
Mira intentionally tried to get closer to him, attempting to ease the atmosphere and coax information out of these people. So, she said with a smile, “I know I’m not a match for Mr. Leopold. Besides, I heard that Ms. Tyler is the world’s leading performer. I’m nowhere near her level.”
“You’re too modest,” Zackary clucked, “Sister–in–law, you’re actually quite pretty. If you were a bit nicer and gentler to men, I’m sure a lot of them would be attracted to you.”
“Thank you.”
These two inexplicably started to chat merrily, while a glint of cold steel flickered deep within Hugh’s gloomy eyes.
Very well, first it was Chad, and now even Zackary, this blockhead, wasn’t won over. He underestimated Mira.
At that moment, Zackary suddenly touched his arm, “Why does it feel a bit cold? Is the air conditioning turned up too high?”
“Then I’ll have someone lower the temperature a bit.” Oliver, who had always been somewhat inconspicuous, finally found an opportunity. He turned to Paige and asked, “Ms. Boyle, what kind of tea do you drink?”
The two “Ms. Boyles” looked at him together.
When Oliver met Paige’s bright gaze, he couldn’t help but feel his heart pound, a hint of nervousness spreading across his handsome face.
Paige looked up at the young man in front of her, wearing silver-
framed glasses, and gave a slight smile. “Rose tea, please. And you can just call me Paige.”
Zackary joked, “He certainly couldn’t call you Paige.”
Paige was confused.
Chad interjected with a laugh, “In terms of seniority, Oliver should call you sister–in–law.”
“Why?” A glint flashed in Mira’s eyes.
The corner of Oliver’s mouth weakly twitched, and after a long pause, he reluctantly said, “Allen is my cousin.”
Paige and Mira were taken aback at the same time.
“You didn’t know?” Chad asked, pouring tea for the group while observing their expressions.
“It’s not very clear.” Paige was a bit confused, “Allen and I just got our marriage license not long ago, and our families have only met once for now.”
Mira reacted extremely quickly, “Right, I just heard the manager of Palm Restaurant saying something about bringing the boss and his friends over…
