Wed to the Billionaire Brother of My Spouse by Doris

Chapter 606

Chapter 607: Smart Ian

Ian had set up a private meet with Jasmine at the Bellagio Hotel, and it was awkward.

Jasmine eyed Ian and said, "Mr. Patrick, are we talking business or personal stuff here?" Ian grinned, "Do we even have personal stuff to talk about?"

Jasmine nodded. "Then it's business. If it's business, why not at the office? What's with the private meet?"

Jasmine wasn't one for beating around the bush; straight talk was her style.

Ian nodded. "Alright, it's personal."

Jasmine frowned. "We barely know each other. What personal stuff could you possibly have with me?"

"Howard came to Boston to see me. He wants to team up and cut Ethan off, make him lose all credibility in the Douglas Group," Ian said, looking straight at Jasmine.

Jasmine raised an eyebrow. "And why are you telling me this?"

"Anyone with half a brain knows who to back between Ethan and Howard," Ian said. "So, I'm not teaming up with Howard. You can chill about that."

Jasmine stared at Ian. Was he just here to put her at ease?

"I won't play dirty, but I'm going all in for the Everhart Group's investment. This is my first big project at SHC Group. I'm not holding back, and we'll see who's got the skills," Ian said seriously.

Jasmine got the gist. Ian was smart enough to avoid being seen as her enemy.

He wanted to compete for the new energy project and investment, but he'd do it fair and square.

He was worried Jasmine might hear rumors about Howard at SHC Group and think he was in on it.

Pissing off Jasmine meant pissing off Ethan, and Ian wasn't about to do that.

Jasmine looked at Ian, trying to figure him out. Henry had warned her to be wary of Ian, saying he wasn't straightforward. But this sudden nice-guy act was throwing her off.

"Ian, you might not play dirty, but you sure know how to play smart," Ethan said, walking in with a sneer.
