Chapter 265 Cedrick Is Critically Ill

Startled, Eloise stumbled backward and was about to fall when Gunnar caught her.

With tears welling up in her eyes and frustration surging through her heart, she grumbled, “What does that b*tch have that I don’t? In terms of family background, appearance, and education, how can she compare to me? I am the perfect match for you!”

“Eloise, even if every woman in this world were to disappear, I still wouldn’t marry you!” Treyton’s gaze turned glacial as he looked at her in disgust. He then added, “Did you hear me? Now take your people and leave! Don’t dirty up my villa!”

Eloise’s face was wet with tears as she cast a resentful glare at Jennifer, who was standing beside Gwendolyn.

Gritting her teeth, she hissed, “Treyton, I’ll make sure you regret calling off our engagement for this d*mned woman!”

After saying her piece, she turned and left with her men in tow.

Gwendolyn approached her brother, and in a tone thick with disbelief, she asked, “Treyton, were you being serious just now? Do you really have feelings for Jennifer?”

Caught off guard by the sudden news, she paused to collect her thoughts. “Does that mean I’ve just dug` my own grave? Is my best friend going to become my sister–in–law? What kind of absurd turn of events is this? Treyton, I won’t let you muddle up everything!”

Instead of replying to her question, Treyton said, “Kiddo, it’s getting late. You should head to work first. I need to have a word with Ms. Weller.”

“Fine,” was Gwendolyn’s reply before she glanced at Jennifer and saw that the woman had a bewildered and unsure expression on her face.

With only Treyton and Jennifer left in the living room, the former closed the door and strode over to the sofa. His gaze was intense and deep when he uttered, “Ms. Weller, please have a seat.”

“Oh, okay,” Jennifer obliged and sat stiffly on the small sofa next to him, keeping a considerable distance between them.

Perhaps sensing the awkward atmosphere, Treyton opened a drawer and took out a cigar before lighting it and taking a deep puff.

Amidst the swirling smoke, his deep and magnetic voice became even more alluring as he said, “Please don’t take what happened earlier to heart, Ms. Weller. I simply wanted to discuss a potential collaboration with you.”

“What kind of collaboration are you talking about?” Jennifer asked, feeling a bit confused.

“I’m sure you can tell that I don’t have any feelings for Eloise, so I’m proposing that you pretend to be my lover to help me break off the engagement with the Ferguson family. In exchange, I shall assist you in securing a stable footing in the entertainment industry, help you become a leading actress, and even ensure the downfall of Walter. In fact, if you wish to personally deal with that sc*mbag, I can bring him before you,” Treyton explained, outlining his proposal.

Jennifer fell silent.
