Chapter 1051 - 545: What Are You Afraid Of? I’m Afraid of You

"Then it’s a deal. On the day you marry my sister, I want you to use the indenture agreement between you and Julian Carter as the red packet. Otherwise, I won’t open the door," Eliza Bell said joyfully, her eyes glistening. Let’s see where Julian Carter can run off to this time.

:"If she agrees, there might be some credit to your influence, but it can never be the whole reason. If she doesn’t love me, she won’t marry me. What makes you so confident you can have such a big impact on her life?" Joshua Hughes’s thin lips carried a faint, indifferent smile. Who does she think she is? Can she decide everything for Avery Jane?

He hated that anyone other than him could affect Avery Jane’s emotions or influence her decisions. It didn’t matter if the person was a woman or her sister; it just wasn’t acceptable.

"Tsk tsk, indeed a man who doesn’t know how to win a girl’s heart. Don’t you understand the importance of sisters or best friends? For example, if you and Designer Wright invited her tonight, do you think she’d consider my advice? If I tell her that Designer Wright is a suitable man for marriage, and as for President Hughes, well, not to mention now, but your past scandals are simply too many to count. The women you’ve been with can’t be tallied on ten fingers. No matter how high-quality a man like you is, it’s still unsafe. If I say that to her, what do you think will happen? Do you think she would give Designer Wright a chance, especially since he’s always been upright and meets all the good criteria?" Eliza Bell looked at Joshua Hughes with a face as if she was about to be torn apart alive, her expression extraordinarily grim and terrifying.

But she wasn’t afraid at all. If she wasn’t confident, she wouldn’t dare to provoke a tiger. But since she was here, she didn’t need to be polite.

"If you dare to say one more word in front of Avery Jane, I’ll knock out each of your pretty little teeth and then have that excellent designer make a necklace out of them for you to wear for a lifetime." His face was as grim as the devil’s, and his voice was chillingly cold and frightening. Eliza couldn’t help but feel sorry for Julian Carter. What’s good about being involved with a man like this? She’d better be the one to rescue him.

"If the deal goes through and you’re willing to give Julian to me, I’ll block Designer Wright’s advances for you. Then when you make your move, I can assist..." Eliza was definitely not stingy when it came to offering benefits. She couldn’t bear to imagine wearing a necklace made of teeth, it was too horrible.

Joshua Hughes’s sensuous thin lips curved slightly into a charming arc. :"I want to see how much influence you really have over her. Tonight, the Hughes Clan has a banquet. If you can bring her over, I can consider what you’re saying."

"Deal........" Eliza nodded eagerly like a pecking chick. How hard could this be?

Julian Carter, who was outside dealing with a pile of miscellaneous data, suddenly felt a shiver run down his spine, inexplicably sneezing. He hadn’t caught a cold in years. What was going on? Was he so busy lately that even his immunity was down? But this isn’t winter, and with the bright sun outside, why did his head suddenly start aching?

The scent of perfume filled the air, glasses clinked, and receiving an invitation to a Hughes Clan banquet was a matter of great prestige. It was considered a celebration marking the formal establishment of the new Hughes Clan, naturally making it an extremely grand event. Those present were prominent figures in the economic world, all talking about this legendary man.

"Sister, could you hurry up?" Eliza Bell got out of the car, handing over the car keys to a black-suited staff member standing at the entrance to Hughes’s.

Avery Jane bit her lip. What was this? She’d ended up on his turf again? But Eliza had begged her, saying she wanted to find Julian Carter, and she couldn’t bear to refuse her.

The hem of her white cocktail dress unfolded gracefully like a layered camellia flower. As Avery Jane stepped out of the car, her beautiful figure drew the sidelong glances of the men. Everyone couldn’t help but notice her long legs, slender and delicate, her fair skin shimmering subtly under the lights, as if cloaked in a luminescent glow. Eliza, in a flowing red silk gown, her dress like a fiery flame, when they appeared together in white and red, they undoubtedly caught everyone’s attention.
