Gregory still remembered how furious Mr. Hanson had been when he reported on Ms. Jensen’s situation a couple of days back.

Mr. Hanson had even said, “Did you forget everything I told

you before?”

“If you can’t handle being my assistant, then just quit.”

But now, look at him–after all that talk, he’s been secretly taking care of everything himself.

“Wasn’t me,” Jeffrey replied, coolly leaning back in his chair, eyes so dark and unreadable you couldn’t tell what he was really thinking.

“Then who did it?” Gregory was baffled, then suddenly had a wild thought. “Don’t tell me it’s one of Ms. Jensen’s suitors?”

Jeffrey’s eyes narrowed, growing even more intense and unreadable.

He pressed his lips into a thin line, keeping silent.

“If you don’t make your move soon, Ms. Jensen might end up with someone else,” Gregory said, sounding even more anxious. “Now that she’s been publicly revealed as the newly returned princess of the Quinn and Guzman families, don’t you think there’ll be a whole army of suitors chasing after her?”

Of course, there would be.

Jeffrey knew it all too well.

Those guys aren’t interested in Rebecca herself, it’s all about her family connections. They just want to get close to her, squeeze into the Quinn and Guzman families, and join The Big Four Families.

“If someone actually liked her for real, that’d be fine,” Gregory broke it down for him, speaking slowly. “But you know how it is–most of the guys chasing after her now don’t care about Rebecca herself. They’re just in it for the perks and connections she brings.”

Jeffrey just kept quiet, brooding in silence,

Gregory went on, “Do you really want Ms. Jensen to get stuck with some guy who’s only thinking about his own gain and chasing her just because of her family connections?”

“She’s not walking down the aisle again anytime soon,” Jeffrey murmured, maybe to Gregory, maybe just to himself. “With Amelia by her side, none of those guys will ever get the chance to mess with her.”

It was not just Amelia. There was Sebastian and Mr. Guzman, too.

‘None of them would ever just stand by and watch Rebecca end up with some opportunist looking to climb the social ladder.

“Yeah, that’s true, but you know how it goes–when someone’s got their mind set, there’s no stopping them,”
