Chapter 1336 Hidden Needle in Cotton
Chapter 1336 Hidden Needle in Cotton
"
"Chloe, is what Mr. Atlas said true? Have you known each other since childhood? Isn't Mr. Atlas a foreigner? How could you have known each other since childhood?" Someone raised a question.
"My goodness! Is this a confession?"
Brenton had a bitter expression on his face as he looked at Atlas and said, "How could you do this? You're attractive, financially successful, and are very perceptive on top of that... Mr. Atlas, you're making things impossible for us!"
Everyone burst into laughter again.
Brenton continued, "You have all the skills every man should possess. How are the rest of us supposed to live? It's hard enough for men these days, and if someone like you won't give us any room to breathe... I'm struggling here!"
"It comes naturally to me. You'll just have to work hard later!" Atlas fed me a shrimp again while saying, "You need to live your life to the fullest!"
Suddenly, another male student said, "You seem to be taking things easy, Ivanna. How about introducing your husband to us?"
Ivanna was taken aback momentarily, then retorted, "Why are you dragging me into this? My husband is right here. Haven't I introduced him to everyone already?"
"Come on! Is that what you call an introduction? You only said 'This is my husband.' It's obvious he is! Would he have the courage to stand beside you otherwise? You didn't even give us his full name! That's too much! Is he just a random passerby?"
As soon as he started, everyone began to criticize Ivanna.
Jared quickly hugged her, smiling gently. "I don't mind if you want everyone to know who I am! I'm Jared Attwood, Ivanna's husband."
"Jared... Jared Attwood?" Someone suddenly repeated in a low and startled voice.
I was sure that anyone who had heard Jared's name would also know about Trinity's existence, which would explain why people were now looking at Ivanna strangely.
The guy who had spoken up said warily, "Are you... really Jared from Emgrand Group?"
"Yes, that's me." Jared nodded.
"Oh...?"
"My goodness!"
"...Is it true?"

The voices were somewhat unsettled, and they looked at each other as if they were trying to find an answer.
With a subtle smile and an incredibly captivating voice, Jared asked, "Don't I look like him?"
Brenton's eyes widened as he looked at Jared, his teeth nervously clacking as he said, "Well... you don't really look like..."
Jared glanced affectionately at Ivanna in his arms and calmly said, "I'm the real thing!"
"Ivanna, how did you... how did you manage to... um... bag him?" Brenton stuttered.
"It took me a lot of effort to win her over. Don't talk nonsense." Jared smiled.
Brenton immediately covered his mouth, unable to control his expression.
"Our female classmates are truly elite. Their standards are too high. They've managed to catch the richest man in the city, Mr. Atlas, and a mogul like Jared. Looks like we're not good enough to even be backup options. We wouldn't dare put ourselves forward." Everyone laughed again, and the atmosphere became lively.
Atlas returned to his usual aloof self and was only concerned with feeding me.
As for Jared, he glanced at everyone and spoke solemnly. "We're all just ordinary people. Since you're Ivanna and Chloe's classmates, that makes you family. We hope that if any of you need anything when you return to Foswood, you'll feel free to discuss it with me and Attas. We will do our best to help!"
Jared's words were like a hidden
needle in cotton. He sounded
powerful and friendly, but anyon
who was paying attention could tell
it was a warning.
Of course, according to rumors, Jared was a cunning overlord, and his methods were ruthless.
