Chapter 1064
‘But what can we say? He’s the tycoon of Yaramoor. He’s wealthy enough to wage war on a country without any
hesitation. Not to mention that his family is closely connected to Yaramoor’s nobility. So, why would he take a fancy
to a woman from our circle?
“Frankly speaking, marrying a princess might not even be on his to-do list.’
Yorrick apologized to them, walked toward Anthony with a wine glass, and proposed a toast.
Anthony was flattered and said with a smile, “Mr. Hathaway, I should be the one who’s proposing a toast here.”
Yorrick responded solemnly, “You’re an elder, and I’m the one who wants to
collaborate with you, so it’s only natural for me to show you some respect.”
Anthony did not say anything more. Since the other party did not care about such trivial matters, he went with the
flow and casually accepted his toast.
The director standing beside Anthony asked with a smile, “Mr. Topaz, why didn’t your daughter come with you?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAnthony replied, “My daughter isn’t very used to such an occasion.”
Another director said flatteringly, “It’s said that your daughter ended up in a coma for 11 years back then due to an
accident. The charity works that you’ve insisted on doing over all these years must have moved God Himself since
she could regain consciousness.”
Anthony smiled without uttering a single word.
In fact, he could see clearly that everyone had only brought their daughters to such an occasion to find ways to
form connections with the powerful and the rich.
He did not want his daughter to attend such occasions only because he did not want to use his daughter as a tool to
facilitate his business. She was his only daughter, after all.
When the banquet was over, Anthony realized that he had drunk a little too much, so much that he was on
the verge of not being able to stay upright.
Yorrick asked his bodyguard to send Anthony back home and left the reception first. The two bodyguards helped
Anthony out of the hotel after that.
Yorrick returned to the hotel by himself, but he met Jodie in the corridor on his way back.
His eyes dimmed slightly.
Jodie finally got to meet him, so she walked forward with an aggrieved and pitiful expression. “Mr. Hathaway, why
aren’t you answering my calls?”
Yorrick scoffed. “There are plenty of women who want to call me every day. How is it possible for me to be there to
pick up every single one of those calls?”
He passed by her and walked toward his room. Jodie walked around him and stopped him abruptly. “Mr. Hathaway, I
know this might sound a little sudden, but… Please give me a chance.” Yorrick raised her eyebrows. “Oh? What
chance do you want me to give you?”
Jodie lowered her head, pretending to be shy. “I’ll do anything that you want me to do.”
Yorrick leaned over and got closer to her.” Does that include getting all physical with me?”
Jodie did not expect him to be so direct, so her cheeks flushed in an instant. “If that’s what you wish.” Yorrick
laughed, straightened his posture, and loosened his tie. “But it’s a pity that I have an appointment with another
woman tonight.”
Jodie was startled.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYorrick went around her, and Jodie suddenly wrapped her arms around his. “Why can’t I make the cut?” Yorrick
frowned.
Jodie got even closer to him on purpose. She deliberately wore a blouse that had a low neckline so that there was
no way that Yorrick could not see her chest from his height. She said coquettishly, “Mr. Hathaway, you mentioned in
Yaramoor that you like me very much.” Yorrick fixed his gaze at the gloomy night sky and laughed. “I’ve said this to
too many women.”
He pulled his arms away and pinched Jodie’s chin. “I’m constantly being surrounded by women who look more
gorgeous and are more talented than you. So, maybe work harder on your seduction skills before we meet again?”
Jodie looked a little embarrassed and bit her lip lightly. “But those women must ask you for an official status. That’s
something that I won’t ask of you.”
He let go of her chin, took out a handkerchief, and wiped the fingertips that he used to pinch her. “But those
women come from prominent families.”
The phrase “prominent families” struck Jodie’s heart. But before she could recover, Yorrick had already thrown the
handkerchief into the trash can with a smirk on his face. “When I told you that I liked you and wanted you to be one
of my many lovers, it’s just my way of joking around with women. But you actually took it seriously?”
