Fall in Love After the Flash Marriage

Chapter 170 Encounter

Since Allen sat in a remote area, while there were many people in between who were toasting and

sending greetings to each other blocking her, she, as a waitress, had to make way for everyone

wherever she went. When she was halfway through, he heard a familiar voice.

Her heart missed a beat. Dropping her head, she stood away instantly.

Luke’s mother had come to the dinner party, and was standing half a meter away from Jenny, chatting

with a beautiful young woman.

"Yuky, regarding what you mentioned last time, is it making any progress? Who in Hong Kong on earth

is related to that woman? Can we find it out?"

Frowning, Jenny was about to walk away, while she was pulled into a corner by a strong and decisive

force. Before she could scream, her mouth was covered by a palm.

"Ouch…"

George retracted his finger being bitten by Jenny, and cried out, "I saved you, yet you bit me."

Jenny was stunned. She raised her eyes and finally made out who it was in front of her. She found it

unbelievable, "Why are you here?"

"Why can’t I be here? The Hopkins family has invited all socialites in Xicheng to the party. Why are you

in this uniform? Are you playing an undercover agent?"

George was in a white suit, with a black bow tie at his neck. When he grinned, he showed his white

teeth and shallow dimples near the corners of his mouth, so innocent and naïve. However, since

Victoria had spoon-fed him her life philosophy before, Jenny unconsciously felt that the man standing in

front of her was nothing but a Ferocious Fly Trap.

Even his words were poisonous at this moment.

"I’m busy! I have to leave now…"

"You’re leaving now? If you were seen wandering around by Luke’s mother in this uniform, you would

find yourself in trouble when you went back."

George’s words dragged back Jenny’s retreating foot. She turned to him, met his gaze with hers and

questioned him, "How do you know about Luke and me?"

"I know more than you think. For example, I know Luke and you have actually registered for a marriage

certificate; Luke’s mother doesn’t like you that much, but she can’t find a flaw in you for the time being;

and if you are caught by Luke’s mother in this uniform, the consequence would be…"

"You…"

Jenny looked George up and down, "Since you have known everything, you must be able to help me,

right?"

"You’re quite candid, aren’t you?"

George had a teasing glint in his eyes. Although he had a bitter tongue, he was willing to help Jenny.

In fact, even George himself couldn’t tell whether he did that for the sake of Luke or the rude girl,

maybe both.

Anyway, when she emerged again, Jenny had already changed into a strapless gown. She followed

George around, clinking glasses and smiling naturally to the surrounding guests she had never met

before, following the etiquette in a moderate manner.

Although she needed to ask Allen to leave before everything, there was a more urgent problem she

had to solve. Jenny had just heard Luke’s mother talking with the woman next to her and calling her

"Yuky".

"Well, I’m still wondering, what are you here for?"

George lowered his voice and whispered in her ear.

Jenny turned her head, kept a certain distance from him and said flatly, “Do you help me out of your

curiosity?"

"That’s not the case. I’m doing it for the sake of someone."

"Then please keep silent and stop asking for the sake of someone."

"You are such a…"

Jenny had a pretty face. Although she had just put on a little makeup, she was still one of the most eye-

catching and charming ladies in the dinner party. When Luke’s mother noticed her, there were already

many business celebrities going over to toast her.

George drank all the wines for her for the sake of Luke. When he couldn’t drink anymore, he put down

the glass and waved his hand repeatedly, "If someone proposes a toast to you again, you need to

handle them yourself. I cannot take any drink anymore."

Hardly had George finished speaking, those playboys of the Meredith Group came over together.

Holding the glasses, they looked Jenny up and down. She was somewhat a celebrity. These playboys

had profound relation with the entertainment industry, so they all knew Jenny. However, they only

considered Jenny a glamor girl whom George kept around with him and didn’t take her seriously.

"Miss Jenny, I’ve heard a lot about you. You look much better in real life than on TV. Let me make a

toast to you, and you cannot refuse me."

George said that he wouldn’t offer any help anymore, but when he saw this scene, he couldn’t help

saying, "Well gentlemen, why does she have to accept your toast? If she accepts every toast from you

guys, will she still be able to go back home tonight?"

"Mr. George, you’re wrong. If she won’t be able to go back her home, she can go home with me!"

They were all playboys in Xicheng. Once these words were finished, they were in stitches. However, a

wave of impatience flooded over Luke’s mother when she saw this scene.

"Jenny, what are you doing?"

Luke’s mother penetrated the surrounding crowd. Frowning, she walked up to Jenny with a darkened

face. She glanced at the glass in Jenny’s hand and questioned, "What’s going on? Can you drink

wine?"

Jenny froze and suddenly didn’t know what to do with her hand holding the glass.

George pulled those playboys aside immediately to dodge the bullet. Before he left, George explained,

"Aunt Lu, what Jenny was drinking was water, not wine."

The crowd dispersed, leaving Jenny and Luke’s mother standing face to face.

"Why are you here? You are a friend of the Hopkins family?"

"I… I… It was Mr. George who took me in…" Jenny rolled her eyeballs and saw George walking away,

"Mr. George said that he didn’t have a companion, so I… I’m here to help."

Jenny believed it was better to mention George than telling the truth. After all, she had been sticking to

George. Even if she wanted to disassociate herself from him, the excuse had to convince Luke’s

mother. Therefore, she had better play along with the situation, which would make her seem frank and

upright. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Luke’s mother’s features softened a little as expected, "George has always been an unreliable man

and you should not hang out with him. You’re pregnant. Do you think you should be here?"

After that, Luke’s mother glanced at Jenny’s belly, "It’s almost four months, right? How come there is no

change at all? Are you still on diet?"

Jenny was scared, and touched her own belly unconsciously, "No… This dress is loose so you can’t tell

by just looking. It’s quite… obvious."

The gown George had picked for her was strapless, but the part below the chest was bell-shaped, like

a baby-doll dress with a girlish touch.

Luke’s mother didn’t think much and sighed, "Come on, don’t move around too much. Find a place to

rest."

Jenny kept nodding. She caught a glimpse of that young woman who had been standing by Luke’s

mother’s side all the time out of the corner of her eye. When she raised her head at her, Jenny was

shocked.

That young woman looked like Luke. It was not that Luke had a feminine face, but because this lady

looked a little masculine. She had an aura of strength and harshness.

"This is Luke’s aunt, Yuky. You may call her auntie."

Jenny went blank for a moment, glanced at Luke’s mother and called Yuky in a low voice, "Auntie."

"You’re beautiful and charming. No wander Luke fell in love with you at the first sight." Yuky’s voice

sounded powerful, but to Jenny, there seemed to be an unspoken meaning behind these

words.
