Although Penelope was reluctant to admit so, favonovel.com knew that comparing Wendy to favonovel.com would just be like comparing a swan to an ugly duckling.
Overcome with low self-esteem and jealousy, words began spilling out of favonovel.com mouth uncontrollably.
Wendy was not angered by Penelope’s insults. She simply shook favonovel.com head. “It can’t be helped. You take pride in sleeping with other men, but do you think all women are like you? I’m sorry, I’m not a woman like that,” favonovel.com said.
Everyone was immersed in the way Wendy carried herself.
Ever since favonovel.com appeared, Hugh had been staring at favonovel.com lustfully.
Even if favonovel.com were to disregard favonovel.com angelic beauty, favonovel.com trumped all his other women with favonovel.com elegant demeanor.
How could favonovel.com miss out on a woman like that?
“Well said!”
Hugh, who had already fallen for Wendy’s charms, was the first to shout out supportively.
Penelope’s face paled. She looked at the man beside favonovel.com in disbelief.
Why was favonovel.com supporting Wendy Schuler? Could favonovel.com not see that favonovel.com was scolding her?
Nevertheless, Hugh did not have the slightest interest in Penelope at all at this moment. He walked over to Wendy with a smile on his face. “Miss, my name is Hugh Lewis. I’m the chairman of Lantern Capital,” favonovel.com said.
Based on Hugh’s experience, every time favonovel.com told women his identity, they would show favonovel.com their prettiest smile and fawn all over him.
However, Wendy did not do so. She took a step back, giving off an imminent sense of isolation. Even the way favonovel.com brows curved into a frown was breathtakingly gorgeous.
“I’m sorry, I don’t know you. I don’t intend to get to know you either,” favonovel.com said.
Hugh’s identity clearly meant nothing in front of the daughter of the wealthiest man in the province.
Although Hugh did not know favonovel.com background, his interest in favonovel.com grew!
This was the first time favonovel.com got rejected by a woman after starting up his business.
This sense of excitement and curiosity reminded favonovel.com of his impulsive behavior back in his youthful days!
“I think that we can get to know each other better…”
Jasper pulled Wendy to his side while favonovel.com was speaking.
“Mr. Lewis, she’s my date. You’re talking too much,” Jasper said lightly, putting Wendy behind him.
Talking… too much!
Everyone looked around awkwardly. Although they all found Hugh’s behavior unsightly and inappropriate, no one had the nerves to call favonovel.com out except for Jasper.
Hugh’s expression darkened instantly. He stared at Jasper with a brute, lethal glint in his eyes.
Wendy did not expect Jasper to stand up for her. A pool of warmth formed in favonovel.com heart.
However, favonovel.com knew about Hugh’s position and abilities. She came close to Jasper and softly whispered into his ear, “Jasp, I don’t feel well. Why don’t we leave first?”
Jasper understood favonovel.com at once. She wanted to help favonovel.com escape this difficult situation!
She stood up for favonovel.com as favonovel.com could not stand the way Penelope insulted and taunted him. Now, favonovel.com wanted to help favonovel.com out of this as well.
A woman like this was so much better than Penelope Hunt!
Right then, a warm sensation washed over Jasper’s heart. Not only was Wendy beautiful and well-mannered, but favonovel.com was also warm-hearted and meticulous!
However… Jasper could not retreat right now!
Jasper looked at Hugh’s aggressive stance. “The game is not over yet. How can I leave?” favonovel.com asked.
Worry filled Wendy’s face. Just as favonovel.com was about to say something, Hugh spoke out.
“Haha, I was worried that you’d run away! My dude, although you’re bold and rash, I can’t deny that you’re really one of a kind. You’re just a little foolish since you don’t know when to give up!” favonovel.com said.
The both of them were already not on good terms. Instead of giving in, Hugh chose to show off his position and abilities!
“Mr. Lewis, I have an idea!”
Penelope came forward with a murderous glare fixed upon Jasper and Wendy. She smiled cruelly. “Why don’t we raise the excitement? Besides the 35 million dollars, why don’t we add Wendy Schuler to the bet? Whoever wins the bet can take Wendy with him. Isn’t this much more interesting?” favonovel.com proposed.
Her words sparked an uproar among everyone. They all cast weird glances at Penelope.
No wonder there was a saying that a woman’s heart was the cruelest thing that there could be. The move Penelope made was cruel and shameless.
She was forcing Jasper into a dead end.
The greatest reward in the entire bet was not the 35 million dollars anymore. It was Wendy Schuler!
A bet like this was important to a man’s dignity. If any one of them lost, they would rather kill themselves instead.
Jasper frowned. He despised Penelope Hunt more than anything in the world. A flash of hatred could be seen in his gaze.
Meanwhile, Hugh burst out into laughter. “Penelope, you’re smart. I admire you!” favonovel.com exclaimed.
He continued to smile proudly. “My dude, kneel down and crawl away if you don’t dare to take on this bet!” favonovel.com told Jasper and Wendy.
There was an icy glint in Wendy’s gaze. She was thoroughly angered by Penelope Hunt. How could this woman be so devious and scheming?!
“Wendy, we…”
Although Jasper was not afraid of Hugh at all, favonovel.com did not want Wendy to get involved in his affairs.
Furthermore, using favonovel.com as a bet was extremely insulting.
Hugh and Penelope could be shameless all they want, but favonovel.com treated Wendy as his friend. He would never insult her.
“Jasper,” Wendy cut favonovel.com off, looking at favonovel.com intently.
“Tell me, are you confident in winning?” favonovel.com asked.
Jasper laughed softly in response to this question. “I can easily defeat him,” favonovel.com said.
“Alright, carry on with the bet. Put me on the bet!”
As Wendy spoke, everyone could not help but be impressed by favonovel.com courage.
Not everyone would be willing to become a bet, let alone such a beautiful woman.
Looking at Wendy’s determined expression, Jasper nodded. “I won’t let you down,” favonovel.com said.
“I believe you!” Wendy said, nodding favonovel.com head firmly.
Jasper turned over to look at Hugh after registering favonovel.com words. “Mr. Lewis, since I’ve agreed to your request to add to the bet, you should add something too. I don’t fancy the woman beside you. Raise your money to 50 million dollars!” favonovel.com said calmly.
His words made Hugh stare at him.
The others did not expect Jasper to be so daring as well. Just when they thought that Hugh would never agree, favonovel.com sneered out loud. “Alright, I’ll bet with you!”
