Chapter 170 Wait for Me

Chapter 170 Wait for Me

Victoria's heart skipped a beat, then suddenly she felt annoyed.

She finally understood why some people in their circle described Jack as "shameless."

And he could still maintain that extremely handsome, serious face.

So irritating.

"Do you know how childish this is?" Victoria frowned.

"I do."

"Then why do it?"

"Because you refuse to talk to me no matter what." Jack said matter-of-factly, "Normal courtship doesn't work, so I had to find another way. Anyway, I told you I won't give up."

Victoria was momentarily speechless.

Jack added, "Besides, you were pretty happy when you saw the order, weren't you?"

Victoria fell silent. She had indeed been happy. The company's cash flow suddenly became much easier, the factory could finally expand production again, and she could help the Grant family.

She'd even been so excited last night she almost couldn't sleep, talking with Sophia the entire evening.

Jack watched her expression and chuckled softly, "See."

Victoria finally lost her patience, "Jack!"

"What?"

"You're really annoying."

"I know." He even admitted it quite openly.

Meanwhile, the Foster family had been quite troubled lately too.

Elise sat in the living room, looking at the news headlines, her face numb.

[Jack Publicly Pursues Victoria, Appears at the Grant Villa for Half a Month Straight]

[A Look Back at the Love Triangle Between Gavin, Jack, and Victoria.]

......

Elise put down her tablet and rubbed her temples, "Has he lost his mind?"

Her husband Carl Foster sipped his coffee. He'd long since given up wanting to deal with this mess, and said slowly, "Just let it go. As long as he's not causing trouble now, that's fine. I'm getting old, don't have the energy to fight with him anymore. I'm afraid if he goes crazy, he'll even hit me."

"You! Can't you do something about it!"

"Can we control him?"

Elise was helpless. They really couldn't.

What was even more ridiculous was that Gavin didn't intervene either. Not only did he not intervene, he acted like nothing was happening.

He attended meetings as usual, discussed projects as usual. His relationship with his brother showed no change from before, as if he wasn't the man who was supposed to get engaged to Victoria that day.

The media had been waiting for an internal family feud, for Gavin and Jack to turn against each other over love, but after waiting forever, nothing happened.

They couldn't even dig up any negative news.

Although Jack had been carefree all these years, his private life was surprisingly clean. Gavin was even more spotless.

In the end, the media had to give up.

At the same time, Jonah and Betty's looks toward Jack were becoming increasingly complicated.

At first they were resistant, but they couldn't withstand Jack's persistent presence.

Today he'd send coffee, tomorrow supplements, the day after he'd play chess with Jonah.

"Mrs. Grant, please don't be so polite, it's my pleasure."

"Mr. Grant, next time I'll go fishing with you."

"If you need anything, just ask me directly. Let's let the past be the past, I won't hold grudges."

After Jack's smooth talk, Jonah and Betty felt embarrassed and even guilty.

Once, Betty couldn't help asking, "What exactly are you after?"

Jack was silent for two seconds, then smiled, "Your daughter."

He said it so directly that Betty was stunned for a moment. These two people's love really couldn't be severed no matter how hard they tried.

Perhaps they really shouldn't have interfered with these young people's affairs back then.

Fortunately, it should still be not too late now.

The next day, Emerald Harbor, Wednesday.

Alexander finally finished handling the aftermath of the Dwayne situation.

Online discussion was heated, with all kinds of voices emerging continuously.

Some criticized Alexander, some supported him, and some just watched the drama. But regardless, nothing could change the fact that Dwayne was in prison.

Alexander's methods this time also earned him respect from many wealthy heirs. To get justice for Sophia, he didn't hesitate to damage his own family's reputation, nor did he care about the impact on the Kensington Group.

Of course, he was confident he could handle these matters.

Jack accompanied him through the interviews and finally breathed a sigh of relief, not forgetting to mock Alexander casually, "Never thought you'd be so scary when you're obsessed with love."

Alexander glanced at him sideways, "Your recent behavior toward Victoria isn't any better."

"What do you know." Jack snorted coldly, not feeling ashamed at all, "Pursuing your wife should be high-profile."

Alexander sneered, "That's called harassment. You should thank Victoria for being good-tempered and soft-hearted toward you."

Jack was stumped for a moment, then clicked his tongue after a while, "Your mouth has really gotten sharp."

"Because someone's too noisy." Alexander said noncommittally.

Jack glared at him dramatically, "Just you wait. When you're chasing Sophia later and she rejects you and you're crying, I'll record videos every day."

Alexander's movements paused. After a few seconds, he looked up expressionlessly, "Get lost."

That evening, Alexander flew directly back to Silvermoon City.

When the plane landed, it was nearly midnight.

He walked to the terminal and stopped at the exit, taking his phone from his pocket. He was planning to just take a taxi back to his apartment, but Sophia's image suddenly popped into his mind.

For some reason, he suddenly really wanted to see her.

Very much.

This emotion came without reason.

He was clearly already very tired.

His finger slid across the screen, stopping at the chat window with Sophia.

They didn't talk much, barely a few sentences a week. But Sophia hadn't blocked him, which already made him very satisfied.

After thinking for a while, as if possessed, he opened the chat window, typed a few words, and sent them.

[I'm back in Silvermoon City.]

After sending it, he felt a bit regretful, thinking she should be asleep at this hour.

But soon, before he could put his phone back in his pocket, it vibrated.

He looked down, saw that message, and his steps paused, his heartbeat accelerating.

[Where are you?]

Alexander instinctively held his breath, with a hint of surprise and anticipation that even he hadn't fully noticed, and replied: [Airport.]

The other side didn't take long to respond: [Wait for me.]

Alexander felt the corners of his mouth curve up uncontrollably. He walked a few steps to the side, found a chair to sit down, his expression gentle: [Okay.]

Ten minutes later, Sophia opened the car door and got out.

The night wind was a bit cool. The airport terminal was still bustling with people, broadcast announcements, footsteps, and the sound of luggage wheels scraping the floor all mixed together, quite noisy.

But Sophia still spotted Alexander at a glance.

Almost at the same time, Alexander also looked up, looking in her direction.

Across the coming and going crowd, their eyes met just like that.

Sophia wore a cream-colored coat, her long hair loose, barely any makeup on her face. She stood quietly in the crowd, yet still stood out excessively.

Alexander's Adam's apple bobbed.

And Sophia also noticed that after just a few days, Alexander seemed to have lost weight.
