Chapter 716: Another One Pays the Price

The little girl said so, but her eyes sparkled with light. Even though she had seen it many times before, each glance at Jared's solid eight-pack abs still made her involuntarily swallow. Her slender, pale fingers touched them, while her other arm reached up to wrap around Jared's neck.

"Uncle, have you gained some weight recently? Your abs aren't as firm as before."

Jared: ....

This little girl, she was actually teasing him.

The man quickly grabbed the girl's mischievous hand on his body, his voice hoarse as he spoke, "Don't worry, the real workout will start soon, and I'll make sure you're satisfied." Reed family dinner party.

As a newly emerging noble in Ashbury, Hugo had set the dinner in a modestly sized hotel.

The guests included not only company clients but also some newly acquainted families.

"I didn't expect so many people to come today. A starving camel still is bigger than a horse, I guess. I thought the Ashbury Reed family would never rise again."

"What Ashbury Reed family? This Mr. Reed is from Ensford."

"What's there to be happy about? I don't know what kind of dumb luck these country folks had to curry favor with the Farrell family. Without that marriage connection, who would give him the time of day?" "That's why they say Miss Reed is so capable. After all she's been through, Mr. Farrell still stands by her side."

Unbearable!

The young girl's eyes sharpened, ready to charge!

Tina stopped her, "Don't lower yourself to their level, hitting them would be too kind."

Jared, in a tailored suit, stood by Tina's side, his large hand resting on her shoulder, "Nathan, find out about these people's companies. Since they have so much free time, let's give them something to do." Nathan nodded, "Don't worry, Mr. Farrell, they won't get off easy."
