BXBX NOVEL Chapter 298 - 297: Like Him
“Drink up. Even if you get drunk, it doesn’t mean they’ll pay attention to you.” Olivia Sawyer poured herself a glass of red wine and drank it all in one gulp.
Stimulated by her words, Jeremy Norman sobered up a little.
At that moment, Michael Gallagher and Molly Walker came downstairs together, causing a small stir.
“Let’s guess. Is Ivy Thompson with Michael Gallagher, or with Zachary Jenkins?”
“Isn’t it the same person?”
“Of course not. Whether the child’s last name is Gallagher or Jenkins, there’s a lot of knowledge behind it!”
“No matter who she marries, I just want to be Ivy Thompson’s friend. She’s a leader in the ‘W’ organization. Whoever becomes her friend will be protected by her for life. I heard that Emma Smith became good friends with her, and even Samuel Richardson still has to look at her face.”
“I didn’t expect Ivy Thompson to be so powerful that even Samuel Richardson is afraid of her.”
Molly Walker wore a simple white dress, with her hair loosely tied up and a few strands of hair hanging down by her ears. Her skin was fair like cream, her eyes misty, and her face lightly made up, yet just enough to support her stunningly radiant aura.
Michael Gallagher by her side, dressed in casual clothes, his eyebrows cold and sharp, his facial features deep and chiseled, and even dressed simply, he couldn’t hide his powerful aura that radiated all around him.
As soon as they appeared, the room unnaturally quieted down.
Jeremy Norman gently raised his eyes, his gaze falling on Molly Walker and then slowly dropping.
Molly Walker walked to Jeremy Norman’s side and saw so many empty wine bottles in front of him, her face slightly stiffened.
“Jeremy Norman, I have something to do and I’ll leave first.”
She was afraid if she stayed any longer, tomorrow’s media coverage would be out of control.
“I’ll walk you out.” Hearing her talking about leaving, Jeremy Norman forced himself to stand up, and Olivia Sawyer quickly helped him.
“No need, you just rest.” Molly Walker decisively rejected him.
Jeremy Norman had a gentle smile on his face. His features were elegant, and under the light, even more gentle, revealing a hint of arrogant nobility.
Although Molly Walker said she didn’t blame him, he blamed himself.
He shouldn’t have wanted to blur the lines between reality and drama nor should he have claimed the credit that didn’t belong to him, causing others to misunderstand.
After learning that Michael Gallagher was the savior of James Leaford, remorse gnawed at him like a worm.
When his father embarrassed the Leaford family, he didn’t help. When James Leaford had an accident, he didn’t help either and even almost took someone else’s credit for himself.
In contrast, Michael Gallagher seemed to have done nothing but actually accomplished a lot.
“Then I won’t walk you out. Next time I’m free, I’ll come to the Leaford family to apologize.”
Hearing this, Molly Walker opened her mouth, but seeing the crowded room, she still didn’t make her words clear.
In fact, she didn’t blame Jeremy Norman. She remembered the situation at that time, and it was Third brother who let him confess. If anything, she should blame Third brother for being bought by someone else’s car.
After Michael Gallagher and Molly Walker left together, the Jenkins’ housekeeper brought the gift to Jeremy Norman.
“Although you didn’t invite our young master to the banquet, we still prepared a gift for you.”
No one knew what was in the large box, and the others suddenly understood that the Norman family didn’t invite the Jenkins family.
The Jenkins family had a high status and reputation in Capital City, so not inviting them was unusual. However, this further proved that the Norman family knew of Zachary Jenkins’ identity in advance.
Jeremy Norman sank into the sofa, his face cold and distant, while Olivia Sawyer’s heart ached faintly.
He had liked that woman for so many years, and she had liked him just as long.
But unfortunately, he never really looked at her.
At this thought, Olivia Sawyer’s nose tingled. She raised her head and unexpectedly found that Jeremy Norman had been staring at her all along.
Olivia Sawyer’s breath hitched.
At this point, others also noticed something strange. Olivia Sawyer, who had always been surrounded by scandals, was surprisingly intimate with Jeremy Norman at such a time. Could it be that she was interested in him?
Those present were all people with family backgrounds, and they didn’t approve of celebrities in the entertainment industry. They considered actors as the least acceptable career and usually didn’t allow their children to enter the entertainment circle.
As Olivia Sawyer held her breath, Jeremy Norman suddenly reached out and hooked his hand around her neck.
Olivia Sawyer’s body instantly stiffened!
This sudden scene scared everyone. They all remembered that Jeremy Norman was not known to be interested in women.
Could it be that he and Olivia Sawyer really had something going on?
