Chapter 690: Chapter 690: Carolline Ruiz Gets Angry (5)

Carolline Ruiz agreed, considering the baby yet to be born in Jasmine Ruiz’s belly.

"Mmm, as long as you’re willing to help and say a few words, that would be great. Thank you, Carolline." Jasmine Ruiz held Carolline’s hand, very grateful, feeling that as long as Carolline spoke up, Bryan Hawkins would agree to anything.

In her view, Raymond Ruiz’s proposal back then wasn’t favored by Christopher Lopez, but Bryan Hawkins took a fancy to it. Raymond Ruiz became famous and made a fortune as a result, which was a slap in the face to Christopher Lopez.

So this time, when Christopher Lopez encountered a problem, although it was difficult to ask for help, she immediately thought of Bryan Hawkins.

Carolline pursed her lips and didn’t say much more.

She really didn’t like Bonnie Jenkins and Jasmine Ruiz, this mother-daughter duo. It wasn’t that they didn’t have a different attitude towards their family like Natalie Parton and Avie Ruiz, but rather, she found Bonnie and Jasmine to be too utilitarian and too realistic.

If it weren’t for a family crisis this time, Jasmine probably wouldn’t have taken the initiative to make nice with her.

Especially when they first entered the room, Bonnie Jenkins’ words really made her uncomfortable.

She inherited her father’s straightforward personality, but with a critical difference: her father was very tolerant of the Ruiz family members, while she didn’t distinguish between family and outsiders. She genuinely disliked those she disliked.

Whether they were part of the Ruiz family or not.

At dinner, Christopher Lopez deliberately tried to cozy up to Bryan Hawkins, pouring wine for their glasses, but Bryan waved his hand to refuse directly, "I’m sorry, I can’t drink as I have to drive tonight."

"?" Christopher Lopez’s expression was somewhat awkward, and he didn’t know how to get close to Bryan for a moment.

"Bryan, Carolline can also drive. Why don’t you have a few drinks with Christopher?" Bonnie Jenkins tried to mediate.

"Sister-in-law, you’re wrong here. Drinking and not driving, and driving and not drinking, we all know Carolline’s driving skills aren’t great. If you force Bryan to drink, aren’t you disregarding the safety of their family of three? After all, Carolline and Bryan still call you sister-in-law, don’t they?" Natalie Parton quickly spoke up.

"Natalie, I’m talking to Bryan, do you have a place to interrupt?" Bonnie Jenkins ruthlessly replied to Natalie.

"Aunt Natalie is right, you shouldn’t drink and drive, and you shouldn’t drive after drinking. Tomorrow we still have to go back to the Hawkins family, so I’m sorry, brother-in-law, I won’t be able to have fun with you tonight. Dad, why don’t you accompany brother-in-law and second uncle instead?" Bryan Hawkins nodded in agreement with Natalie’s words.

"Old Three, you should also accompany Big Brother and Second Uncle to have a drink with Christopher." Natalie spoke to her husband.

"Alright." Blake Ruiz readily agreed.

Bonnie Jenkins and Ryan Ruiz, husband and wife, did not know about Christopher Lopez’s situation, but they would unconditionally support Jasmine Ruiz and Christopher Lopez.

Seeing that Bryan Hawkins wouldn’t drink, Christopher Lopez exchanged glances with Jasmine and said nothing more, but sat back down in his seat. Jasmine watched Carolline across the table, arranging food for Axel, but Carolline didn’t look at her once.

Jasmine was a bit frustrated, but she knew that it was better not to expose this kind of thing. After all, she had already asked Carolline for help, and now all they had to do was wait for Carolline to bring them good news.

Bryan Hawkins had a well-known affection for his wife, so there was no fear he wouldn’t agree.

However, what Jasmine never expected was that Carolline was angry with Bryan Hawkins. And until her anger dissipated, she wouldn’t tell Bryan about Jasmine and Christopher Lopez’s situation.
