Chapter 129
The thought of being manipulated by a young girl tarnished his image as the Supreme One.
How could be face the world if this became known?
“Let’s go, come to my house to get the Aether Script,” Zoey urged, tugging at Sebastian’s arm and guiding him toward her car.
“Wait a moment, I have some things to take care of first. I’ll come to your house Inter,” Sebastian replied, resisting the impulse to follow immediately
His promise to Lucy echoed in his mind–a vow to protect Jenny that he wouldn’t abandon.
After all, the Aether Script was securely housed at Zoey’s place, so it could wait a little longer.
“Alright then, let’s exchange phone numbers,” Zoey suggested.
Meanwhile, a group of young men and women conversed at a coffee shop’s window–side table. Their designer clothes hinted at affluent backgrounds
Just then, another young woman approached the group
“Jenny, over here,” Winnie Clark called out eagerly.
“Sorry I’m late, didn’t mean to keep you all waiting.” Jenny apologized as she joined them.
Winnie said with a teasing smile, “We’re not in a rush, but Mr. Zatch sure is.”
A blush spread across Jenny’s face as she glanced at Harrison. Their unspoken connection was undeniable, needing only the slightest encouragement to blossom.
So, where are we going next? Winnie inquired.
“How about karaoke?” suggested Ryan Thompson, Winnie’s boyfriend, and Harrison’s sidekick
Despite Ryan’s wealthy background, his family wealth paled in comparison to the immense Zatch fortune.
The karaoke outing was a plan he and Harrison had concocted earlier, with the unsavory aim of getting Jenny drunk and exploiting the situation.
Although Harrison was aware that patience would eventually win Jenny’s affection, his long– standing desire for her made him impatient.
“Sounds good to me.”
“I agree too.”
“Since no one has any objections, let’s head over now,” Harrison chimed in.
“Hold on a minute, I have another friend coming,” Jenny Interjected.
Though she wasn’t particularly fond of Sebastian, he was still a guest of her family.
“Who is it?” Winnie asked, her curiosity piqued.
“The son of one of my mom’s friends,” Jenny replied with a hint of unease in her voice.
“I’ve never heard you mention him before. It wouldn’t happen to be an ex–boyfriend, would it?” Winnie teased.
A surge of anxiety washed over Jenny. She hesitated, then blurted out the truth, “He and I are betrothed.”
“What?” Winnie gasped, clearly shocked.
Her offhand joke had hit unexpectedly close to home. Though not an ex–boyfriend, he was indeed her fiancé.
Harrison’s smile froze immediately at her words.
Sensing his displeasure, Jenny quickly added, “I only found out yesterday myself. It’s a complicated situation and he’s quite unsophisticated. We’re going to break off the Engagement in a couple of days.”
Past then, Sebastian entered the entier shop, drawing everyone’s attention.
