Chapter 1060
Lana heard him but seemed to be hesitating.
It was the first time Jeremy saw a serious look on the dishonest woman.
He did not want to give Lana too much time to think about it.
He stood up and pretended to be displeased. “Since you don’t trust me, then forget it.”
Lana hurried over to stop Jeremy when she heard what he said. “Baby, don’t be angry. Why would I not trust you?”
Lana coquettishly tugged on Jeremy’s sleeve. She looked a little worried. When she saw that Jeremy’s handsome face was not turned toward her and he was acting coldly as well, Lana changed her mind.
“Baby, you’re offering such a big sacrifice to let a multinational company like Whitman Corporation help the Stygian Johnson Gang launder money. I’d be dumb to disagree!”
Lana gave in.
Jeremy continued pretending to be displeased to egg her on. “You don’t have to agree so reluctantly. It was just a suggestion. You don’t need to agree just to please me.”
“I’m not! Jeremy, I’d love to!” Lana smiled and tried to please him. She was worried she had upset Jeremy. “Jeremy, let’s do as you say, but the Stygian Johnson Gang’s accounts over the years are very cumbersome. There are a lot of things to deal with. After I sort them out, I’ll bring them to you.”
When Jeremy heard that, his cold handsome face melted.
He lifted the corner of his lips and smiled. He said with intent, “Thanks for trusting me. I won’t let you down.”
Lana was completely immersed in Jeremy’s rare smile, and her mind was filled with hopes for a beautiful future with Jeremy.
In a hotel.
When Ava woke up with a hangover, her head felt very heavy.
She opened her eyes in a daze, trying to recall what happened last night.
It felt as if it was just a foggy dream…
Ava was about to get up, but as soon as she moved, she realized that a person was lying beside her.
It took a long time for Daniel to wake up. He was confused when he saw a hundred-dollar bill on the empty bed.
When he recalled what happened last night, he remembered that Ava had been very drunk while he was 30 percent sober.
When he looked at the hundred-dollar bill, Daniel suddenly got a headache.
He called Ava but found that her phone was turned off.
He assumed that Ava got angry at him for last night, so he got ready to go to her place to look for her after washing up.
Ava had just arrived at her apartment and ran into the bathroom to take a bath as soon as she entered.
She could not bear to think about what happened last night. It was her first time and she ended up giving it to some random guy. She could not even remember what happened. The more she thought about it, the more her tears streamed down.
After she took a bath absent-mindedly, her doorbell suddenly rang.
She wanted to pretend that there was no one in the house, but she heard Daniel’s voice through the door. “Ava, it’s me.”
