“We didn’t sign the contract, and you didn’t pay me. This employer-employee relationship doesn’t hold.” Jasmine was not an illiterate fool. She would not be duped if she was not eager to find work. When the classmate told her at that time, she didn’t even ask where the place was and just followed her to come. It was not up to her to leave once she arrived. That was why she would show up here.
“It seems like she is not Mr. Bailey’s employee. So, Mr. Bailey won’t mind if I bring her away later, right?”
Declan slowly turned his gaze towards Jasmine, and smirked, “Are you serious, Boyce Shawn? A college student that appeared is either here for money, or finding a rich husband. Are you going to be the rich husband, Boyce? Or are you going to throw money on the chick? Playing is just fine, but getting serious isn’t fun anymore.”
When he spoke, he glanced at Cormac, “Your relationship with Mr. Cormac Mendelsohn is uncommon, and you yourself have your own status. How can you find a hooker as your wife? The embarrassed one wouldn’t be only you.”
“Who is a hooker?” Jasmine couldn’t sit still. If it wasn’t because she needed money and didn’t ask her classmates clearly to follow them here, she wouldn’t even show up at this place.
Saying that she was a hooker was an insult to her!
Boyce held her shoulder, and glanced at her which seemed to tell her not to be impetuous.
If she didn’t meet them today, Jasmine absolutely couldn’t run from Declan’s clutches.
Jasmine also knew that she was too impulsive; to say that she was a hooker made her feel uncomfortable. She studied hard, and got accepted to her desired university. She only relied on herself to survive. Even in the most difficult times, she had never thought of selling her own body in exchange for money.
She clasped both her hands tightly, and stared at Declan’s ill intentions.
“Mr. Bailey.” This time, Cormac spoke up. He opened his mouth, and the light passed through his glabella. He talked in a cold tone, “Let’s just be honest about this. You want anything good, just say it. As long as I can give it, I wouldn’t refute you. It’s rare for my friend here to look up to a woman. I have to be serious about it.”
This expression was evidently unhappy. Declan thought about it; this woman for sure was not his. Just like what Jasmine said, he didn’t pay her salary, and she hadn’t done work yet. Furthermore, there weren’ any connection at all.
How about gaining Cormac’s respect. Gaining others’ respect could be helpful in the future, and it would be easier to ask favors.
After thinking about the benefits and disadvantages, Declan smilingly said, “Since Mr. Mendelsohn had already spoken, then I wouldn’t mind about it anymore, as it would make me a stingy person just for a woman. He pointed at the three standing by the door, “There are some more chicks, how about I call them to play with us?”
These three young girls had just been on this situation for the first time where they met men with good looks and high statuses. They hadn’t experienced any setbacks, and didn’t know the cruelty of love, but they were eager to try.
Especially Elisa, the one who pushed Jasmine, was in a mood to come over, and her target was Cormac.
She crazily wanted that man to be interested in her, and then fall in love with her. Finally, she would become a rich wife; she didn’t need to study hard, and be bothered about finding a job after graduation. Finding a guy like him, she would not only be looking good, but also not be worrying about food and clothing.
Cormac was otherwise not interested. When Declan let Jasmine to sit beside him a while ago, he didn’t think of an excuse to refuse, but now it was different. He uninterestedly looked at Declan, “I am not interested.”
Rather, Declan didn’t notice anything unusual. It was just that since the matter with Jasmine had already gone by, he had other things to play with. If not playing with women, then there were still others, “How about let’s play something more exciting?”
“I had heard of something. Can Mr. Bailey help me with it?” Suddenly, Cormac changed the topic.
Initially, Declan had the intention to build connect with him, but he wasn’t much solicitous. He asked with a faint expression, “Oh, what is it. Let’s hear it.”
Cormac talked about Victoria Forbis’ car accident, and asked, “Jeffery Harris came to see you. Was there such a thing?”
Declan didn’t know the complicated grudges between Cormac and Jeffery since there wasn’t any big announcements. No one knew of its complexity, and they just related them as an uncle and nephew relationship.
Everyone knew that Cormac and Victoria were at odds; it was not really a secret.
So, he didn’t think much about it. He lifted the wine glass, and hit it with the wine glass on Cormac’s table, “Let’s have a drink?”
Cormac was cool with it; he picked up the glass of wine and drank it. Declan was shocked, and picked up the bottle of wine to continue pouring, “You aren’t really an outsider, and there really isn’t anything to hide from you. If we are being real, our relationship is quite good. The relationship between your grandfather and my father was more than just common at that time.”
Old Mr. Bailey was younger than Terrell Harris, but they were in the same generation. The reason why Declan was so young was because that he was Old Mr. Bailey’s late son.
It was said that there were six sisters, but due to their identities, they weren’t raised at home. Instead, they were raised by relatives, and only one sister remained at home. On paper, he was the second child, but he was actually the seventh. This was no secret, and they knew about it.
“He asked for my help with that kind of relationship, so how can I decline it? Right?”
Cormac leaned his body back, and was entirely covered in the dark. His expression couldn’t be seen, and then there was a voice in cold tone, “I did like to hear on what it is all about.”
“Jeffery and your stepmother are incompatible, and you know that better than I do. He hates that woman so much that he comes to me because he is aware that I know many people. He wanted me to do him a favor and put that woman away. However, the person who did this was not effective and something went wrong. But it wasn’t a big deal. You and Jeffery don’t like that woman anyway. It’s better now that she’s gone, so she won’t bother you.”
Declan didn’t notice Cormac’s face. He just felt that the atmosphere in the box was inexplicably cold. He was a little annoyed.
The three women standing by the door looked unneeded. So, he shouted in a deep voice at the door to the manager, “Get them out of my face.”
The manager dragged these women out with a few of his men.
Cormac slightly raised his eyelids with a look that was hard to tell his emotions, “Mr. Bailey is really unusual. Now the banners of the fight against pornography and crime are everywhere. Your club is still open as usual. And you even dare to kidnap people.”
“I did it as a favor to Jeffery! He was unable to do this kind of thing personally due to his status, so he asked me to do it.”
Declan leaned against the couch and turned his head, “Mr. Mendelsohn, are you really here today to have fun, or …”
He knew Jeffery’s relationship with Cormac. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so honest. This was no small matter. He put a lot of thought into it before he spoke.
If he hid something and Cormac heard it from Jeffery, then he would be in a difficult position.
“What does Mr. Bailey think I’m here for?”
Declan looked into Cormac’s eyes, froze for a moment, and said with a smile, “People who come to my place are of course here for pleasure.”
“Mr. Bailey, you’ve let me down today.” Cormac’s tongue licked across his incisors, which made him look even more arrogant than Declan. He sounded fierce but had a calm look, “It’s not what it used to be. Mr. Bailey, you have to be more cautious. Don’t be played for a fool by someone and not even know it.”
Declan’s face changed, “What do you mean?”
He meant something other than what he said?
Cormac got up. Armand and Boyce also stood up.
His gaze was cold, “Mr. Bailey, he asked you to do such a simple small thing as catching a woman because it was inconvenient for him, or because he didn’t dare to do it himself?” Declan’s eyes narrowed. What did he mean?
Jeffery was using him?
“Mr. Mendelsohn, are you kidding me? He is your uncle. Instead of taking his side, you take mine. Do you think I will believe that?”
Jeffery was his uncle. Did he come to test him by uncovering Jeffery?
At this time, Declan didn’t dare to believe Cormac’s words. After all, he and Jeffery were on the same side.
“It’s up to Mr. Bailey to believe it or not. I just can’t bear to see anyone being used without knowing it again,” he didn’t say more, “Mr. Bailey, I’d like to thank you for your hospitality today.” “Please don’t say that. Mr. Mendelsohn, I didn’t let you enjoy yourself today. Be sure to let me know in advance next time you come. I will definitely let Mr. Mendelsohn have a good time.”
Declan was a little distracted. If Cormac meant something in his words, then this was an obvious reminder.
And, he used the word again. What did he mean? Did someone else get used by Jeffery and didn’t know it before him?
“Mr. Mendelsohn, can you explain it to me?” he stood up and walked over, “Mr. Mendelsohn, do you know something?”
Cormac said meaningfully, “Has Mr. Bailey heard about Eddie?”
“Although it was covered, everyone in the circle knew about it. He suddenly lost everything at his age. It was so bad…” However, he soon realized something and felt that something was wrong. What did Cormac mean by suddenly mentioning Eddie?
