Chapter 590: Mr. Pace

Boris hesitated, but ultimately he had to obey his father's words. Rachel, without uttering a word of concern, was led out by Boris. Mr. Pace glanced at Jared and then at Tina beside him, his gaze softening with affection, "Young lady, how old

are you this year?"

"Twenty," Tina replied.

She had already celebrated her twentieth birthday. Previously, she never celebrated her birthdays because they reminded her of her mother. When Uncle suggested celebrating, she had refused. But from now on, she decided she would celebrate. Remembering all the years she missed having strawberry cake on her birthday because her mother had faked her death infuriated her. From now on, she vowed to eat strawberry cake until she could eat no more on every birthday! Although she felt some aversion towards Boris, Tina liked Mr. Pace very much.

He reminded her of the first time she met Mr. Brookes-so warm and welcoming.

Mr. Pace clicked his tongue, "Dating this brat must be tough on you."

Tina laughed, "Not at all, Uncle is good to me."

"A face as cold as ice, how good can he be? Girl, if this brat ever bullies you, just tell me. I won't let him off easily," Mr. Pace said, his smile deepening as his fondness for Tina grew.

Jared could only sigh quietly on the side. No matter who was around, if Tina was there, he always seemed to fade into the background.

Well, it was his choice to be willingly sidelined.

"Thank you, Grandpa Pace, but Uncle wouldn't dare to bully me, he can't beat me," Tina said, not realizing that she was becoming chattier with Mr. Pace.

After a brief exchange, Mr. Pace finally turned his attention back to Jared.

He sighed deeply, "I thought the next time I saw you, you would be visiting me as the Director-General of the X Bureau."

The title of Director-General revealed the high hopes Mr. Pace had for Jared.
