When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 126: He Doesn’t Believe Her at All
The middle-aged woman was intimidated by his aura and could only smile while explaining, "Luckily, there were no serious consequences. It’s my aunt’s oversight. I’ve already reported it to their manager, and the waiter received the appropriate punishment."
He sneered coldly, "In today’s society, scapegoats are plentiful, but if you spend time and effort investigating such matters, I think it’s a waste of life."
The message conveyed was——
It’s not that he couldn’t find out, he just didn’t investigate.
"That’s right, no need to delve further." Melanie Lancaster seemed relieved for herself.
Faye Turner sensed the uncomfortable atmosphere over there. They remained standing, and Adrian Lancaster kept a cold expression all along.
So she walked over with a smile, taking the man’s arm, "Adrian, shall we go?"
Adrian Lancaster took her arm and stepped out, without saying goodbye to his aunt.
Faye naturally acted as though unaware of the enmity between them.
Thus she turned back with a smile and waved at Melanie Lancaster, "Goodbye, Aunt!"
The woman needed to put on a facade in front of Adrian Lancaster, so she smiled, "Goodbye, drive slowly on the way!"
As long as Adrian Lancaster remained the CEO of Prestige Group, she couldn’t openly tear down their relationship.
Such things wouldn’t benefit herself, and Melanie Lancaster had long-term goals, so she had to remain calm.
On the way home, Mr. Kerr drove the car.
Adrian Lancaster sat in the back with Faye Turner, radiating a cold aura.
Looking at his cold face, she gently let go of his arm; the car had driven far enough, no need to keep up the act.
Knowing he was very busy tonight with more important matters at hand.
Therefore, Faye looked into his eyes, a hint of uneasiness appearing.
Under the warm yellow light, the man wore a classic black and white suit, looking like a complete elite, his side profile captivating.
"Thank you for coming to my rescue." Faye spoke softly, sincerely grateful but unable to discern his thoughts.
Adrian Lancaster heard her but didn’t respond.
The car headed towards Aqua Flora Residences...
Faye kept looking at his profile, her heart grew more uneasy.
After a while, the man spoke slowly, "Don’t trust anyone except Grandpa."
Upon hearing this, the girl was slightly taken aback, again focusing on him.
"I haven’t trusted her." She spoke softly, "Knowing you two don’t get along, and that day’s situation might be related to her, that’s why I deliberately called you, also to avoid causing you trouble."
Adrian Lancaster remained silent, his deep eyes looking forward, brows slightly furrowed.
To break this silence, Faye spoke softly again, "She probably won’t ask me out anymore."
He still said nothing.
After a while, she began to apologize, "I’m really sorry, I know you’re busy today going to the airport to pick up Mr. Jamil, but..."
She hesitated.
Though Adrian Lancaster didn’t respond much, he listened carefully. Seeing she only spoke halfway, he looked at her, his thin lips gently moving, "But what?"
Faye paused, "But I know him, so he won’t be angry."
The man’s gaze showed he clearly didn’t believe her.
"I really know him!" Faye emphasized again.
Adrian Lancaster merely smiled and looked away.
She wanted to explain but realized she had no evidence nor convincing power.
He must think her idea of knowing meant she’s aware of Jamil’s existence, knowing the prominent name, while Jamil was completely unfamiliar with her?
As the car was about to reach Aqua Flora Residences.
Adrian Lancaster, as if suddenly remembering, asked, "When will your Mr. Moon come over? I have time recently; if there’s a dinner invitation, you can bring me along." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Faye thought for a moment, replied, "Okay, I’ll definitely bring you!" Here, isn’t this evidence?
