The Celibate Tycoon Has Fallen-Chapter 65: Protected, Therefore Precious

The room quieted down, and everyone turned toward the source of the sound.

Aaron Payne recognized Yelena Hughes’s face and was somewhat surprised. "Aren’t you..."

He had seen Jasper Yale holding her; she had even slept in Jasper’s bed and almost ended up pregnant, but...

Aaron cast a stealthy glance at the man beside him.

Nancy Alden had a hint of a smile on her lips. "Aaron, you know her?"

"How could I?" In moments like this, he absolutely couldn’t sell out Young Master Yale.

Yelena Hughes pushed the cake forward, and Nancy Alden still looked puzzled, with a concerned tone, "Miss Hughes, why are you still here?"

She didn’t want to face the question directly, but Nancy insisted on asking.

"This is my job."

Nancy Alden appeared startled, "Why? Do you have some hardship?"

She glanced at Jasper Yale beside her, only to realize his gaze never left Yelena Hughes.

Whether cold or contemptuous, at least his eyes didn’t move away.

Who’s to blame him, with those long, slender legs and that waist that could be grasped with one hand, what man could resist?

Though tormented by jealousy, Nancy showed no sign of it. "Jasper, didn’t you tell her she didn’t need to..."

Jasper Yale’s gaze fell on the belt around Yelena’s waist, and only when she turned to the side did he see the little bunny tail at the back.

She’s dressed like this for everyone to see!

Jasper’s eyes filled with malice, but his voice softened as he spoke to Nancy, "She enjoys working here; she won’t appreciate your kindness."

Nancy Alden brought her hand to her mouth and leaned closer to Jasper’s ear.

But Yelena Hughes could hear every word.

"But it’s so chaotic here. It’s not appropriate for a girl to dress this way."

The thin strap dress on Yelena seemed barely able to stay put, her shoulder trembled slightly, and every gaze felt like hands trying to strip her only covering.

Jasper lowered his eyelids, standing very close to Nancy, with an arm casually behind her, creating an impression of intimacy to onlookers.

"What’s wrong with it? I think it’s great."

Nancy furrowed her brow, "She’s dressed too scantily; it might... incite crime?"

Jasper chuckled lowly, but the sound was anything but cheerful, more like something that crawled out of a dark place, "That’s her aim. The less she wears, the more men will pay."

"Huh?"

Jasper’s large hand patted lightly on her head, "It’s not something you need to understand."

Yelena Hughes looked at Nancy Alden’s smiling face. Could she really be this naïve? Of course not.

"Nancy, isn’t it nice that you are so simple-minded? Especially with Young Master Yale protecting you, you can’t understand what some women would do for money."

The friends Aaron Payne had invited all brought their girlfriends, belonging to the same circle, naturally acquainted with Nancy Alden.

"That’s right, everyone should keep a tight rein on their men."

In the room, several girls accompanying drinks felt uncomfortable hearing those words.

Madeline Forest was there too, grinding her teeth; if only she could have brought her phone tonight, she would have warned Yelena Hughes not to come.

Not to come and face this humiliation, not to be ridiculed by them.

"Come on, come on, the candles are about to go out." Aaron Payne stood up at this point, feeling the atmosphere too awkward. He was the birthday star tonight!

He walked quickly to Yelena Hughes’s side, "Let me make a wish."

Aaron clasped his hands together, and Yelena picked up a nearby birthday hat, "Want to wear it?"

This might lighten the mood a bit.

Aaron glanced at it, thinking it’s childish, "No need, no need."

"Please, the things touched by your filthy hands, you expect Aaron to wear? You’re bringing bad luck to the birthday star."

Yelena Hughes hadn’t anticipated such a comment, "Sorry."

Aaron looked toward the woman who spoke, his face darkened a bit; even if Jasper Yale appeared indifferent to Yelena Hughes at that moment, wasn’t it just because Nancy Alden was present?

And behind it?

This was a woman who had slept with Young Master Yale!

Aaron quickly picked up the birthday hat and placed it on his head, "It’s good, it has a sense of ceremony."

"A little dirty hat," the woman snorted.

Aaron’s face couldn’t hide his frustration, "Lily Jewel, if you keep being sarcastic, I won’t let you stay."

Yelena Hughes was beside them, preparing utensils and such, as if she wasn’t the one being discussed.

Jasper Yale watched her with a composed look, which annoyed him.

She really had become more thick-skinned in her quest for money.

Aaron made his wish, blew out the candles, and accepted the cake knife Yelena Hughes handed him, cutting down through the cake.

"Come on, come on, let’s eat cake."

He sliced off a piece and left the rest to Yelena Hughes.

She divided a small piece onto each dessert plate, delivering them in order.

When she got to Nancy Alden, the latter didn’t reach to take it.

Nancy Alden glanced awkwardly, "I don’t want to eat."

Yelena was about to take it away, but then she heard Jasper Yale say, "Just have a bite; it’s Aaron’s birthday cake after all."

"But I’ll get fat."

Jasper’s voice seemed amused, "One bite, how fat could it make you?"

Neither reached to take it, still discussing, leaving Yelena unable to leave.

Nancy Alden caught from the corner of her eye Yelena bent over, trying her best to keep her upper body upright to avoid exposure, a tiring position.

Nancy wanted her to stay bent, to suffer.

With a smile, she extended a finger, "Just a small bite then."

"Alright."

Jasper glanced at the cake and took a fork from Yelena’s hand.

She thought he was going to take the cake away, but Jasper left her holding it.

They were so close, close enough that when Yelena looked up, she was met with Jasper’s stunning face, close enough that his breathing out warmed the room’s air and seared her skin exposed to the air.

Even though Jasper didn’t look at her, his eyes could not avoid the flash of white.

It was the shade of her skin, close, glowing white.

Jasper’s throat lightly moved, though Yelena did nothing, he felt an arousal within.

Jasper stabbed a piece of the cake, but Nancy was picky, "No cream, it’ll make me fat."

The man fiddled a bit on the plate, picking out a piece of cake base, and as he was about to give it to Nancy, she wasn’t satisfied again.

"It has mango in it, can’t have that either."

Madeline Forest saw all this, a pang of sour bitterness in her heart, but what could she do?

Jasper showed no sign of impatience, resuming his selection for her requirements.

Nancy hadn’t anticipated this point. She was unaware that the man beside her was already ignited with a mischievous flame, and even less that, under her very eyes, Yelena Hughes had ’seduced’ him.

Not willing to go too far, when Jasper brought over a small serving of cake, she opened her mouth to eat it.

Yelena Hughes could finally breathe a bit easier and quickly moved to serve the others.

Reaching Lily Jewel, she was met with a face full of discontent.

Lily accepted the cake, offering Aaron a cheerful "Happy Birthday."

Then lifted her arm and smashed the cake onto Yelena Hughes’s face.
