Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the luxurious private room of Palene Hotel.

Sulia looked at the clock for the third time. The appointment was at six o’clock, but it was almost seven now. Gabriel had not arrived yet.

Sitting opposite her were Ruth Johnson and her daughter. Linda had dressed up especially well today, wearing a bright red dress that accentuated her snow-white skin. Her makeup was gorgeous and charming, and her temperament was dignified and elegant.

Linda noticed how frequently Sulia was checking the time, so the former she stood up and picked up the teapot to pour some tea into Sulla’s cup. With a perfect smile, she said, “Mrs. Jones, don’t worry. President Jones might have been delayed by something.”

Sulia was very satisfied with Linda’s generosity and thoughtfulness. When she thought of her troublesome child, she said, “This child is really something. He said that he would be here at six o’clock, but he hasn’t come yet… Mrs. Preston, get the chauffeur to call Gabriel and ask him to hurry up.”

Mrs. Preston nodded and left the private room. She passed the message to the chauffeur waiting outside. Two minutes later, the chauffeur came in and respectfully said, “Madam, Young Master didn’t answer the phone.”

Ruth politely said, “It’s okay. Let’s wait a little longer. Maybe he couldn’t answer the phone while driving on the way here.”

They waited until almost eight o’clock. Although Ruth and her daughter were still smiling and waiting patiently, though on the inside, Linda was growing anxious.

She had finally begged Ruth to ask Sulia out so that she could formally get to know Gabriel again. Then, she would think of a way to make him fall in love with her so that she could marry into the Jones family.

Sulia’s patience had worn out. She called Gabriel, but no one picked up after several consecutive calls.

When she returned to the private room, she saw Ruth and her daughter looking at her with eager eyes. Sulia felt awkward and turned to look at Mrs. Preston. “Let the waiter serve the dishes.”

Linda knew Gabriel wouldn’t come, and there was a hint of disappointment in her eyes. However, she was afraid that she wouldn’t have the chance next time, so she smiled unwillingly and said, “Let’s wait a little longer. Perhaps President Jones will be here soon.”

The smile on Sulia’s face was almost gone. She knew her son the best. If he didn’t pick up the phone, it was a silent rejection of tonight’s arrangements. “Let’s eat while we wait.”

After a few minutes, the waiter placed the dishes on the table. Linda didn’t eat much, mainly looking up at the door of the private room from time to time.

Then, the door of the private room opened and Caleb walked in. Linda’s face lit up as she stood up and looked behind him, but there was no one else.

Caleb saw her joy and glanced at her before his gaze fell on Sulia. “Madam, President Jones is busy and can’t come over. He sent me to tell you.”

Linda’s excited actions were very abrupt in the quiet room. Sulia glanced at her, and Ruth tugged at her daughter’s dress. Linda sat back down on the chair in disappointment.

Sulia shifted her gaze away from Linda and looked at Caleb with a frown. “If he can’t come, he should have called me in advance.”

Caleb smiled awkwardly and did not say anything. He was only in charge of running errands. He could not care about anything else. “Madam, I’ve already delivered the message. Enjoy your meal. 1’11 leave first.”

Although Sulia was angry, she could not vent her anger on him so she waved him away.

After Caleb left, Linda excused herself and went to the washroom. Before leaving her seat, she took her handbag.

The moment she entered the washroom, she took out another phone from her bag and took out a few photos from her photo album. A vicious glint flashed across her eyes. She then keyed in Gabriel’s number and sent the photos..
