Chapter 28 Can We Be Friends?
After the auction ended, it was time to socialize. Quite a few people were eager to approach Jenny.
After all, she was not only Gilbert Hawthorn’s sister, but also Mr. Birkett’s mentee. If they could be
together with her, wouldn’t it be easy for them to have a meteoric rise in their career?
Jenny didn’t know what these people were plotting. She was busy sulking. Ever since she knew Alec
got the painting, she had been upset. Although it was for charity, and it shouldn’t matter who it was sold
to, she still felt disgusted knowing it was sold to Alec.
“Does that guy even understand art? Don’t tell me he bought it for Faye again?” she thought.
For a moment, she regretted choosing this painting. She should have chosen another one. She went to
hide in a corner with her drink in her hand. She smiled a little while watching Gilbert interact with the
crowd with ease from a distance. Gilbert was starting to behave more and more like a high flyer.
She was deep in thought until someone came up to her. “Hi, miss. I’m Steven Dickman. Can we be
friends?”
Jenny raised her head to look at him. She frowned a little. He was a slightly fat man, and Jenny found
him repulsive. Especially those eyes that stared right at her, which made her highly uncomfortable. She
stood up and responded directly, “Sorry, I don’t like making friends.”
After saying that, she was prepared to leave. She didn’t want to continue talking to him. However,
Steven didn’t intend to let her go just like that. He immediately blocked Jenny’s way.
“Miss Hawthorn, Parrington is a huge place. Gilbert won’t be able to protect you all the time. You might
want to think before you speak.”
While he was speaking, Jenny noticed a few more people had surrounded her. It was apparent that this
fattie had come prepared. Jenny put down the glass in her hand and scanned the place. Gilbert was
nowhere to be seen. Someone must have used an excuse to bring him somewhere else. She wasn’t
worried about Gilbert’s safety. With his current status, nobody would dare to touch him.
Looking at Steven, she did not panic at all. Instead, she kindly reminded him, “Mr. Dickman, I don’t wish
to be violent today. Please ask your men to fuck off. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not being nice.”
It was a charity dinner, after all. She didn’t want to ruin the atmosphere.
However, Steven didn’t take her words seriously. He got more excited instead.
“Feisty. I like that. I wonder if you’ll be this feisty too later in bed!” He snickered.
Jenny scowled immediately. She had already clenched her fists, ready to punch Steven anytime now.
“In broad daylight? Mr. Dickman, isn’t this a little inappropriate?”
At this very moment, a slightly frivolous voice rang. In the blink of an eye, this person appeared in front
of Jenny. Even though Jenny had met many good-looking men, her heart skipped a beat when she saw
this man in front of her. What a stud. Until today, the most handsome man Jenny had seen was Alec,
but this man was actually on par with him. They were just two different types.
Alec looked more cold and intimidating. On the other hand, this man…looked a bit more gentle.
“Max Pearson!” Steven gritted his teeth. “Since when have you started to stick your nose into other
people’s business?”
“How could you call this sticking my nose into your business? I’m obviously saving the damsel in
distress.” After saying that, he even raised his brows at Jenny.
Jenny was speechless. That was unnecessary. She didn’t even take Steven and his men seriously.
“What if I say that I must take her away tonight? Are you planning to go against my family?” Steven
looked at Jenny with a devilish look in his eyes.
He didn’t care who Jenny was. As long as this woman was pretty enough, he must have her!
