Chapter 104  : Chapter 104  : Mayor Smith Visits Jacob Clark

“Dad?”

Isn’t Jacob Clark sitting in the black car parked by the roadside?

Jacob Clark is already in his forties, but his superior living conditions have delayed his aging, making him look like he is in his thirties. It’s still faintly visible how handsome he was when he was young. Although time has left traces on the corners of his eyes and brows, it has also brought about a mature charm that young men lack.

He is dressed in a dark tailored suit, and frowns as he sees Enna. He quickly suppresses his anger and says expressionlessly, “Get in the car.”

Enna doesn’t know what happened or why he came to Bauhinia Garden, but she obediently opens the door and gets in the car.

They drive in silence.

The car pulls into the Clark Family’s villa.

Jacob gets out of the car first, not even glancing at Enna, and goes inside.

Enna purses her lips and follows him.

The villa is unusually bustling today with Juliet Jordan, Jasmine Clark, William Sullivan, and Aunt from the Sullivan family present. When Enna arrives, Jasmine is like a butterfly, fawning over Aunt, occasionally provoking laughter in the living room.

“I’m back.”

At Jacob’s announcement, everyone in the villa looks over. Seeing Enna following behind him, the atmosphere suddenly quiets down.

Enna is already used to this feeling of not fitting in. She stands three steps away from the crowd and asks her father, “Dad, why did you call me back? Is there something going on?”

Jacob sits down on the sofa without answering her. He asks Auntie Wren to pour him a cup of tea, takes a sip, and then raises his head, “Enna, are you hiding something from me?”

What does he mean? Enna hesitates and denies, “No.”

“Hmph, Dad, even if Enna is hiding something, she won’t tell you. Her wings have hardened already, and she won’t take your words to heart. She probably doesn’t even consider us family in her heart,” Jasmine taunts maliciously.

Juliet scolds, “Jasmine!”

Jasmine snorts contemptuously, turns her face to act coy with the man beside her. She finds that William Sullivan is staring intently at Enna.

Following William’s gaze, Jasmine sees Enna standing there. Jealous, she clenches her teeth and fists, and resentfully says, “I wasn’t wrong. Why else wouldn’t Enna mention Young Master Smith?”

Young Master Smith…

Enna’s brows furrow with sensitivity.

Juliet gracefully advises, “Enna, Mayor Smith contacted your dad, asking about you. He said you and Young Master Smith have already met in private, and that he really likes you. You are also interested in him, so the two families may be united by marriage. If you have time, meet with Young Master Smith first. Your dad isn’t trying to force you, he just wants to hear your opinion,”

Enna finally realizes who they’re talking about. It’s the man who tried to force himself on her in that private room: Finn Smith!

They actually want to introduce her to Finn Smith and even marry her off to him?magic

Enna’s eyes grow cold as she sweeps them over everyone on the couch, finally landing on Jacob. She stubbornly purses her lips and asks, “Dad, do you also believe that Young Master Smith really likes me? That I have feelings for him

Jacob frowns, irritation surging in his heart.

He didn’t care whether he believes it or not. All he knows is that recently, Mayor Smith has been causing trouble for the company, even ruining several established deals. Without the Mayor’s own basket of troubles, the company would have been in jeopardy..
