Jack didn't have to wait for long as soon after he got out of his car, there was a convoy of sports cars that rushed into the parking lot. What made Jack frown was the fact that the drivers were driving the cars at a high speed even though this was a parking lot. If there was an accident, he wondered what consequences would be.
The cars were parked and just like before, they occupied almost all the parking spaces that were free. Although it was already afternoon, there were still many guests in Chida hotel.
pαпdα Йᴏνê|,сòМ Not long after, the youths that Jack had met in the morning alighted from their cars in pairs or in another case, alone. Upon seeing that it was this group of youngsters, Jack wasn't in the mood to entertain them.
He Immediately turned around and walked towards the elevator. There was no need for him to stay with such an unreasonable bunch of people.
One of them smashed his car while another one claimed to be his fiancée. If this group wasn't unreasonable, then what was?
He was simply walking away when he heard someone shouting. "Hey Wendy, ain't that your fiancé over there?"
The moment that this young man said these words, everyone cast their gazes on Jack, trying to scrutinize him well. The previous time, they had no time to look at him as they were either ready to beat him up, or they were too dazed by what they had heard to look at him.
Although Jack was currently wearing a different casual pair of clothes unlike the white suit, his figure still remained imprinted in their minds. Just from his back, they could recognize him.
Wendy looked at Jack with a complex expression on her face. Angy looked at Jack who was still walking away as if he didn't see them and then Wendy who was looking at him.
She frowned. If the two were really engaged, why would the fiancé ignore his fiancée? Was there any argument between the two of them or the two didn't like each other in the first place?
She was just about to ask Wendy about it when someone else beat her to it. But, it was just that the person that was being addressed was not Wendy, it was Jack.
"Hello there, aren't you going to allow us to apologize to you? Since you're Wendy's fiancé, you shouldn't treat us as strangers, right?" Collins shouted at Jack.
Although he didn't like Jack, he had to do everything to know about Jack. When they went out, he had tried getting information about Jack from Wendy but couldn't find anything. In the end, he had thought that it would be good if he could get Jack to join them.
Then, he would pretend that he wanted to befriend him. After getting all the information that he could, he would then take action to make sure that the engagement between Jack and Wendy was annulled.
That was a perfect plan. He used the words like Wendy's fiancé and apologizing to make Jack allow them to talk to him. Then, they would get acquainted before he befriends him.
Well, those were all plans and dreams. But, sometimes, not all plans and dreams were fulfilled in reality.
"There's no need for that." Jack's some reply reached Collins ears, making his expression to darken. This was the first time that he was inviting a person to join them. In the end, his invitation was turned down, and in front of so many people? That was a stain to his reputation in the group.
Jack was surprised that they still thought that he was Wendy's fiancé. But, in reality, he wasn't. And, Jack decided that if Wendy continued claiming that he was her fiancé, he surely would have to get back at her.
At this moment, Jack thought that maybe Wendy was using him as a shield to block someone that was trying to pursue her. Although he didn't like it, he decided to turn a blind eye to that for now.
"Jack, wait for a moment." Wendy's voice reached his ears, making his expression change suddenly as he halted his steps.
He had thought that the other party didn't know him and was just using him as a shield. Who knew that she actually knew his name? Or, did the hotel give his information to her? As he thought of this, he frowned.
This was a five star hotel and he was sure that it wasn't something easy to give out the customer's' information. But, if one owned the place or had connections with the owner of the hotel, he could easily get his hands on that information.
The moment that Wendy saw that Jack had stopped, she sighed in relief before hurrying towards him. Angy wanted to follow but Wendy stopped her as she wanted to speak to Jack in private.
When she got in front of Jack, she asked him to move a distance away from the group so that their chat would be private.
"How do you know my name?" The moment that they had gained enough distance, Jack asked. He was straight to the point and his expression was cold.
Upon hearing Jack's question, Wendy's heart skipped a beat. As for his cold eyes that stared at her, they made her heart ache. This was the person that she had been engaged to but, the way that he was looking at her was no different to how one looked at a stranger.
No, it seemed that he was dissatisfied with her for some reasons that she didn't know. All the same, she replied, "I know you because you're my fiancé?"
Wendy's reply was what she thought was according to logic. But, in Jack's ears, it was someone forcing herself on him, she wanted him to be her fiancé although he knew nothing about her.
"Listen here lady, I don't think you got the right person. As far as I know, I don't have a girlfriend, let alone a fiancée." Jack said plainly.
Jack's words were like arrows that pierced through Wendy's heart. She looked at him and said, "I didn't get the wrong person at all. Aren't you Jackson Alfonso?"
"Did you get my information from the hotel?" Jack frowned as he asked.
"Not at all. I even know that you're from Crystal city. And, two days ago, you were supposed to be in Inchoate city. As to why you're here in Venture city, I'm not sure about that." Wendy said.
"Did you investigate me?" Jack's stance became a little aggressive. How could he allow others to simply look into his information and come to pretend to know him?
Wendy took a step backwards when she saw that Jack seemed angry. She hurriedly shook her head and asked, "Were you not told that we were engaged two days ago?"
This was something that Wendy wondered. It had already been two days since the two had gotten engaged with Dalton's permission. What she didn't know was the fact that, Dalton had told Victor that Jack didn't agree to the engagement.
And since they had already agreed that Jack was engaged to Wendy, they decided to keep this as a secret from Jack for the time being to make sure that he wouldn't destroy their plans. Then, during this time that Jack didn't know about what happened, they would look for ways to bring him back to the Alfonso mansion.
After coaxing him, they would tell him about the engagement. Then, the deal would be completed as long as Jack had no disagreement to it.
But, they had never expected that the two of them would meet in a place that they had no idea about. They didn't know that Jack would go to Venture city and neither did they expect that Wendy would be there.
"Told by who?" Jack was confused. He then thought about the word two days ago. That was when he remembered that Dalton had come to pick him up. All of that was so that he could get engaged to someone.
If he remembered correctly, he didn't agree to the engagement. Then why on earth was the lady in front of him claiming that they were engaged? He suddenly thought of how Dalton had expelled him from the family and how he had tried getting him back by force.
So, it wasn't impossible for him to use some means to make sure that the engagement wasn't cancelled as long as there were benefits.
"Your father?" Wendy answered uncertainly. She couldn't understand if it was just that Jack was playing dumb or it was true that he had no idea about the engagement.
When he heard that his father was supposed to tell him, he immediately connected to the fact that Dalton wouldn't give up in the face of benefits with small losses. He looked at Wendy and asked, "How did the engagement go through when I wasn't there?"
Wendy replied honestly, "Your father said that you had left inchoate city and that, we could just continue with the engagement. In the end, an agreement was made that we will get married when I am twenty one years old." As she talked about marriage, she blushed.
Jack confirmed that Dalton had certainly used a trick to make sure that the engagement went through.
He took a deep breath and looked at the lady in front of him. He said, "You should give up on this engagement thing. I didn't agree to the engagement. Furthermore, I'm no longer a member of the Alfonso family."
Jack's words made Wendy's heart skip a beat. She was cheated by Jack's father? And since when was Jack not a member of the Alfonso family.
Just as she was dazed, Jack walked past her and headed for the elevator. It was only after a few moments that she reacted. "Wait Jack."
Jack halted for a moment and said, "You got the wrong person. I don't know you and I'm not from the Alfonso family. Furthermore, I didn't agree to the engagement. So, I hope you can forget about what happened two days ago."
