Chapter 1015: Chapter 995: Catfight!

Roy Thompson walked in from the door with a stern face, step by step. Due to the rush in coming out, he was dressed in a casual shirt and light-colored jeans. Even though he had an extraordinary temperament, such attire at a brand appraisal event still made Adrian Watkins involuntarily knit his brows.

"Who are you?!"

"Brother Roy, how did you get here so quickly?"

She had just hung up the phone and it hadn’t been a few minutes before he appeared in front of her. With his speed, she suspected he had been racing over again.

"If I hadn’t come so quickly, I’m afraid someone might take advantage of the situation and snatch my treasure away!"

Brother Roy?

My treasure?

So it was her brother, no wonder he had such an extraordinary air about him.

Adrian Watkins’s knitted eyebrows instantly smoothed out, and the restrained smile on his face exploded in an instant, "So it’s your brother, but that’s being quite overprotective, isn’t it?"

So protective, I thought he was her husband!

"Nice to meet you, my name is Adrian Watkins, may I ask how the brother should be referred to!"

Hearing Bella Gordon call him Brother Roy, Adrian Watkins naturally treated him as Bella Gordon’s brother. He extended his hand politely with a greeting and did not forget to compliment, "Your sister is very beautiful!"

Sister?

Very beautiful?

Anyone with eyes could see that this man was interested in his woman. Roy Thompson was never a particularly helpful person, let alone when the other’s intentions were so clear.

"Yes, she is quite beautiful!"

Roy Thompson ignored the extended hand, instead scooping Bella Gordon directly into his arms and affectionately kissed her forehead with a snicker, "However, you’re wrong. She is not my sister!"

"Wife, in the future, we might want to put away such misleading terms of address!"

Wife?

Adrian Watkins’s face was like it had been fiercely slapped, a mix of embarrassment, regret, and reluctance flooded his mood in an instant. He was completely dumbfounded. Had he really set his sights on a married woman?

Such a beautiful girl, how could she be married so early? Could this be a joke?

"Sir, you’re kidding, right... how..."

"It’s really quite a coincidence that we’ve met again so soon, it must be fate!"

Adrian Watkins hadn’t finished his words before they were deeply interrupted by an imposing female voice, "Mr. Thompson, you’re not going to tell me that this little beauty is the wife you mentioned today, are you? That really is..."

Hanny Josh didn’t finish her sentence, her meaningful tone obviously did not take the young Bella Gordon seriously.

Bella Gordon suddenly froze, looking up at Roy Thompson with a hint of suspicion, then turned her gaze to the woman across from her, dressed in a stunningly provocative red dress. Not only were her features refined and extravagantly seductive, but her figure was so hot it could make one’s blood boil. As the true first socialite of Andras City, even though she was low-key, Bella Gordon recognized her at a glance. She was Andras City’s newly minted domineering female CEO, Hanny Josh!

This woman was always proud and arrogant, never taking men seriously or initiating conversation with them, but this time she unexpectedly started a conversation with Roy Thompson, the implication of which was...

"Really just a kid, huh?"

Dealing with potential love rivals, Bella Gordon had always been straightforward and blunt; pretending to be magnanimous—something that could harm both oneself and others—was never her strong suit, "I’m sorry to disappoint, but I married young!"

Hanny Josh: "..."

It seemed she had somewhat underestimated this young lady. She looked pure and otherworldly, like a mischievous fairy untouched by worldly fireworks, but the moment she spoke, her persona collapsed completely. If Hanny Josh hadn’t been seasoned by the business world, she might have been unable to hold herself together. It appeared Roy Thompson’s taste was much better than she had imagined.

However, the more it was so, the more interested she became!

"Indeed, Mrs. Thompson!"

Hanny Josh chuckled lightly as she scrutinized the woman’s attire from head to toe—a simple white dress of decent quality, though the brand was indiscernible. The dress looked fresh and pleasing, yet amidst all the other formally dressed women present, it was obviously a tad shabbier.

"I’m Hanny Josh, delighted to meet you!"

Hanny Josh extended her hand with a smile, seeming completely indifferent to the woman’s hostility—unlike Roy Thompson’s direct disregard. Bella Gordon still reached out and shook her hand, "Pleased to meet you!"

"What should I call you?"

The anticipated glimpse of a fiery temper from Bella Gordon didn’t occur, and her willingness to shake hands was a surprise. Nevertheless, Hanny Josh was eager to learn more, such as her name.

"Just call me Mrs. Thompson!"

Bella Gordon smiled faintly, her grace and poise easily overshadowing the other’s queenly demeanor, causing Hanny Josh’s eyebrows to knit finely. Yet, her curiosity about this woman soared to new heights.

Mrs. Thompson?

The name reverberated delicately in Hanny Josh’s mind. Why did she long so deeply for this title to be hers?

She didn’t ask for much, but when it came to things she wanted, she never failed to obtain them, including men. Observing the woman before her, whose depth was not easily discernible, Hanny Josh was suddenly struck by the idea of playing the long game.

Talking circles around someone was clearly the younger lady’s forte, for she had revealed herself to be highly skilled with her first utterance. However, if it came down to playing mind games, such a pure and innocent young lady was naturally no match for her.

"It seems Mrs. Thompson has quite the possessive streak!"

A sly, deep smile flickered at the corner of Hanny Josh’s eyes, "Such strong possessiveness—are you worried about your husband, or perhaps lacking confidence in your own charm? I’m merely a business partner of your husband’s, and here you are showing such deep hostility, making me feel like I’m irresistibly charming, that merely seeing me, people feel threatened!"

Bella Gordon: "..."

The fact that she could make such a statement proved the woman had some insight. The domineering female CEO wasn’t just for show; she was somewhat intelligent, skillfully taking an indirect route to trap her in a deadlock. At this point, any response from Bella Gordon would surely be wrong!

Either she would admit to a lack of charm or appear petty and intolerant, unable to even accommodate her husband’s partner!

Adrian Watkins, watching the back-and-forth between the women, with an ever-deepening smile on his face, thought his unusual interest in this girl was all for naught; now, it seemed, some people could be potential partners in the pursuit of his goal. Only, she was after a man, while he was after a woman!

For now, he would simply observe.

Just as Hanny Josh thought Bella Gordon wouldn’t retort and that she had won an edge in terms of momentum, the woman opposite lifted her head, her clear, large eyes innocently looking up at the man above her, "Brother Roy, someone thinks I’m a jealous and overly possessive psycho wife, what should I do? Should you divorce me and find a new one?"

Hanny Josh: "..."

This woman was really something!

Such words she dared to ask, what immense trust she must have in her man!

Her gaze was locked on Roy Thompson, eager to see how a man, so imposing and too aloof to even greet others, would deal with such provocation from a woman!
