Chapter 83: Chapter 83: Male Public Relations

James Thompson took the towel passed by Jasper Winters and slowly wiped the blood off his knuckles.

Max Woods was already lying on the ground, half-dead.

Max Woods’s persuasion of Victor Langston had crossed James Thompson’s bottom line.

It concerned the life of his dear Julia Land.

His family’s.

Had it not been for the occasional rise and fall of Max Woods’s chest, one might have thought he was dead.

Victor Langston’s eyes widened in horror as he watched the man standing before him, unable to stop trembling.

James Thompson walked up to Victor Langston and looked down at him.

Victor Langston wanted to back away, but he was restrained by the bodyguards.

"Would you rather live a life worse than death, or would you prefer money?"

James Thompson handed the towel back to Jasper Winters and asked Victor Langston casually.

Of course, he didn’t need an answer from Victor Langston.

He just wanted to scare him.

After all, Victor Langston was still useful.

Somebody was trying to harm little Julia.

James Thompson’s gaze turned cold.

He turned and walked to the coffee table, bent down to put the lunch box Julia had given him back into the bag, carried it in his hand, and walked out of the private room.

Jasper Winters spoke to Victor Langston in an even tone, "Mr. Langston, I’m sorry, but your friend has been left for you to take to the hospital."

Victor Langston slumped to the ground, watching them leave.

James Thompson got into the car and sent a message to Julia Land.

"Little Julia, rest well tonight and tomorrow, your man needs to recover."

Julia Land and Sophia Hart were watching TV. Hearing the message alert, she picked up her phone, "..."

"Recover well."

These four words nearly cracked her expression.

James Thompson then sent another message, "What fairy sucked me dry?"

Julia Land, "..." Hmph.

At night, Julia Land climbed into bed and as she was preparing to sleep, she thought of Mr. Thompson.

Slyly, she pressed her index finger against her red lips.

She slightly parted her lips.

A hint of her pink tongue was visible.

Her other hand took a selfie with her phone.

The photo was taken from a flattering angle, showing her beautiful face, red lips, finger, tongue tip, and collarbone.

Julia Land, smiling, sent the photo to James Thompson.

The man, who claimed he needed to recover, was still dealing with work issues.

When he saw the photo Julia sent.

His deep eyes were inscrutable.

Had she dared to do this beside him, she would have fainted.

Fainted right on the bed.

**

After flirting with Mr. Thompson, Julia Land wrapped herself in a blanket and peacefully fell asleep to preserve her beauty.

The next day, she woke up at past ten in the morning.

She and Sophia Hart decided on a whim to go out shopping.

After shopping for half the day and feeling tired, they stopped at an Italian restaurant to eat.

"Chloe, we sisters have been inviting you out for a month, but you never show up. It’s like you’ve forgotten us since you got a man."

"I’m out now, aren’t I?"

Chloe Sullivan smiled warmly.

She had just secured her pregnancy and dared to come out before showing.

The three socialites at the same table laughed and joked.

One of them pinched Chloe Sullivan’s tender face, "You’re not wearing makeup and still, your face is so rosy. What have you eaten?"

Another socialite giggled, "How can a woman in love not look radiant? I just came back to the country and heard that someone bid for the Blue Heart Diamond to give to you. I’m so jealous."

"What someone? It’s clearly her boyfriend."

The group of socialites teased Chloe Sullivan.

In fact, they were very envious of Chloe, the woman linked to the Thompson Family from Capital City.

It was a pity they hadn’t seen the man yet.

Chloe Sullivan helplessly glared at them, "Don’t talk nonsense."

"We aren’t talking nonsense. My mom even told me two days ago that your mom has been all smiles lately. It seems your happy event with him isn’t far off."

When Julia Land and Sophia Hart heard about the Blue Heart Diamond, they turned to look at the table.

They saw Chloe Sullivan sitting with her back towards them.

Sophia Hart frowned. "What the heck, Brother Thompson is two-timing?"

She looked at Julia Land.

Julia knew that James Thompson and Chloe Sullivan had no romantic relationship; he had explained it to her.

However, hearing the conversation between Chloe and her sisters still made her a bit uncomfortable.

What was Chloe thinking?

"Eat your food, I’m the only ’fairy’ Brother Thompson has for now."

Julia saw the conflicted look on Sophia’s face, not knowing what to say.

She found it both funny and touching.

"I’m full, I’m going to text Brother Thompson."

Sophia finished speaking and took out her phone to send a message to James Thompson.

Julia didn’t stop her.

She wanted to ask too.

Sophia, [Brother Thompson, I heard you’re planning to marry Miss Sullivan?]

James was reviewing documents when he saw the message and raised an eyebrow, [I’m going to marry Miss Land. Who told you that?]

Sophia rapidly typed, relaying exactly what she had heard Chloe and her sisters say.

Sophia, [Not only did I hear this, but Julia also heard it, and Julia is very upset.]

After sending the message, she showed the chat screen to Julia.

Soon after, Julia received a message from James Thompson.

James, [Little Julia, I’m going to marry Miss Julia Land, don’t be angry, I’ll handle it.]

He looked up at Jasper Winters, "Who’s been spreading rumors that I’m marrying Chloe?"

Jasper adjusted his glasses, "You’ve appeared publicly with Miss Sullivan a few times. People saw it and might speculate, and the Sullivan Family probably has that intention too."

James looked down, closed the document, "Arrange dinner with Nicholas Sullivan and Richard Sullivan for me tonight."

Currently, Nicholas Sullivan was in charge of the Sullivan Family.

He was Trevor Sullivan and Thomas Sullivan’s father, and Chloe’s uncle.

And Richard Sullivan was Chloe’s father.

Jasper acknowledged and left the study to call Nicholas.

James liked to resolve issues from the root.

*

Meanwhile, at the Sullivan residence.

Nicholas hung up the phone, a bit puzzled why he suddenly wanted to have dinner with them.

Richard was also at the Sullivan ancestral home today.

Richard speculated, "Big brother, do you think Mr. Thompson wants to discuss his relationship with Chloe?"

That was the only issue at hand.

Nicholas pondered for a moment, "It’s possible."

Richard smiled slightly, "Chloe didn’t even inform the family, really. Maybe Mr. Thompson wants to surprise her?"

Nicholas, usually stern, softened his expression, "Chloe is a good kid, keep this from your wife for now."

Richard nodded, "I understand."

He was proud of his daughter.

**

On the other side, in an Italian restaurant.

Julia and Sophia had finished eating and were preparing to leave when Chloe Sullivan spotted them.

She approached and greeted Julia and Sophia.

Sophia responded with a slight hum.

Julia, feeling the awkward tension, smiled, "Miss Sullivan, we’ve finished eating and are about to leave."

Chloe smiled, "Okay, goodbye."

She watched as Julia and Sophia left, then turned back to her sisters.

The wealthy girls started gossiping.

"Wasn’t that woman in the red dress Noah Quarter’s ex-wife?"

"Yes, that’s her, Julia Land."

"She made Noah a laughingstock with that tweet she posted last time. The Quarter Family is really lenient to not mind. If they did, would she still be so carefree coming here to eat?"

They were referring to Julia’s tweet about throwing away chopsticks.

"If the Quarter Family really got mad, her mosaic-covered boyfriend surely couldn’t protect her, but Noah Quarter doesn’t mind."

In their eyes, Noah Quarter was a top-quality man, it’s just unfortunate that he already had someone else in his heart.

"A female secretary, with her beauty, climbed up the ladder so quickly, not sure why she’s so arrogant."

"Laughable, what if her boyfriend is actually one of the male hosts from the Dreamy Club?"

The ladies covered their mouths and giggled softly.

Chloe listened to them talk about this topic and her smile stiffened; she changed the subject, "Alright, where are we heading next?"
