Ms. White, would you like to have a cup of coffee with me?”
Seeing the impatience and urgency in Johnny’s eyes, Kylie felt disgusted but still gave a professional smile. “S e.”
The two went to the cafe next to the hospital.
Johnny first expressed his gratitude to Kylie for helping him solve the trouble last time. Then, he expressed his hope that Bernhal Enterprise could invest in his new liquor distillery.
She rejected him, “Mr. Lane, do you think you can still get an investment in this situation?”
His expression immediately darkened, and he didn’t make an attempt to hide his resentment.
“That bitch ruined my reputation, kicked me out, and took advantage of my misfortune to make herself prosper! I couldn’t even get any investments, and now people in the industry are secretly looking down on me!”
Kylie said, “Ms. Holmes is not only capable but is also lucky. She had people to help her when she
was in financial difficulty. When sales were down, they found ways to increase her popularity,
They even helped her get investments.”
Of course, Johnny knew who Kylie was talking about. He had approached her today to inquire about Mikayla.
“Why would Mrs. Miller help that bitch so much? Is it Mr. Miller’s intention?”
She smiled. “I’m not sure if it’s Mr. Miller’s intention or not. But you can ask someone about the
authenticity of the reports about the party that day and the relationship between Mr. Miller and
Mrs. Miller. You’ll get your answer this way.”
Although Kylie didn’t say it clearly, Johnny was smart enough to understand the meaning behind her words–the relationship between Mr. Miller and Mrs. Miller wasn’t good, so Jerome wouldn’t
have cooperated with Mikayla to help Ansoft.
Satisfied with the answer, Johnny said, “Ms. White, thank you for being willing to have a cup of
coffee with me. When I expand and stabilize my liquor distillery, I hope we can still cooperate.”
Kylie stood up. “I’m also looking forward to that day. But before that, I hope you won’t get crushed by your ex–wife.”
When Johnny heard that, a cold light flashed across his eyes, but it instantly disappeared.
Betty was so thrilled that she drank a few too many drinks at lunch. Mikayla and her assistant sent
her back to the oibre
It was still early when Mikayin left Ansoft, so she went to the gymn
Michael had specifically instructed her a few days ago to practice the basic techniques more w order to improve her self–defense and fighting skills Since she was there to keep fet, the naturally had to keep practicing.
When she arrived at the gym, she bumped into Jensen, who was sitting in the rest area.
Ms. Davidson, what a coincidence.”
When he saw her, he took the initiative to stand up and greet her. Then, he explained, “Tve compared several gyms and feel that this gym is more suitable for me.
*The coach said that I have a strong fitness foundation, so I’m more suited to practicing martial
arts, Ms. Davidson, you’re my senior here. Please take care of me in the future.”
Mikayla wasn’t surprised. She smiled lightly and said, “I don’t think you need my care. I haven’t mastered the basic techniques even after practicing a few times. But it’s okay for us to learn from each other when I have the time.”
“Alright.”
“How have things been between you and Louisa these past two days? Has she forgiven you?” Mikayla asked casually.
“I guess she has,” Jensen said with an affectionate smile. “She even came to the gym with me today. Look, she’s over there!”
Mikayla followed his gaze and saw Louisa./
Louisa wore a knee–length skirt and carried a small designer bag on her shoulder. She appeared happy as she took photos of herself with her phone.
“Louisa, guess who I ran into?” Jensen greeted her.
When Louisa saw Mikayla, her smile instantly faded. “Why are you here?”
“Louisa, I’ve asked Ms. Davidson about this gym before. She said that the coaches here are good, so I came over to have a look. I didn’t expect to run into her,” Jensen said, taking the initiative to
explain.
Louisa snorted. She ignored Mikayla and picked up her phone to take more photos.
Only then did Mikayla notice that Louisa was wearing a pair of diamond earrings that sparkled under the light. Its exquisite craftsmanship and style looked very familiar to her.
of earrings looked very similar to the one that she had listed for sale at half
for second–hand things two days ago. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
e had bought it on the same day that she had listed it, perhaps because the price was low.
Why were the earrings here on Louisa now?
Those earrings are nice. Where did you get them?” Mikayla asked.
There was a hint of pride on Louisa’s face as she said, “You’ve got a good eye. These are the latest earrings from Gucci, and they’re hard to find. Jensen had to ask his friend to get them for me as a gift.”
“It’s worth all the effort, as long as you aren’t angry with me anymore,” Jensen said sweetly.
Louisa rolled her eyes at him, then looked at Mikayla provocatively. “Why are you staring at my earrings? Are you jealous? Won’t Jerome even buy you a pair of earrings?”
Jerome did give her a pair of earrings, but she had thrown them into the trash can. And they were now on Louisa’s ears.
Of course, Mikayla didn’t say anything, but she smiled slightly. “I saw a similar pair on a
secondhand website a few days ago. I was worried that your earrings were fake, so I took a few more looks.”
Upon hearing her words, Jensen smiled awkwardly and hurriedly said, “Mikayla, this isn’t a fake. Although my friend has lost the certificate, I’ve taken it to the official store to have it verified. It’s
authentic!”
Mikayla comforted him, “I just saw something similar. I didn’t say that it was fake. Don’t worry too much. Besides, you don’t seem like someone who would buy a gift for the person you like from a
secondhand website.”
Jensen exclaimed, “Of course I wouldn’t! I’m just afraid that Louisa will misunderstand. Next time, if she likes something, I’ll accompany her to pick it out!”
“Ignore her. She just can’t stand seeing me receive a gift when she didn’t!” Although Louisa’s
words were harsh, her tone lacked confidence.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now to get ready for my training,” Mikayla said, preparing to leave.
“Alright, go ahead.”
Jensen stood up and walked out with Louisa. “Louisa, are you hungry? Where do you want to eat?”

hand frowned,
Mikayla’s words.
Although they hadn’t had a good relationship since childhood, Louisa knew the
e about such things.
Mikayis also felt that something was strange. Louisa wasn’t someone who would change her mind just because she had received a pair of earrings.
Why did she suddenly seem to be so close to Jensen? What had happened in the past few days?
She decided to check Louisa’s Instagram account but found that she couldn’t see any of her posts. Louisa had blocked her.
She was worried about Louisa’s future, but the latter didn’t even regard her as her cousin!
Well, then, Louisa could be with whomever she wanted!
Mikayla grew enraged just thinking about it and vented all her anger on the punching bag.
As she kept punching, the coach thought that she wanted to learn boxing and considered giving her a pair of gloves.
After working out at the gym for two hours, Mikayla was exhausted, and she was sweating profusely.
When she was about to leave, she noticed a missed call from Louisa on her phone.
She called her back. “What’s the matter?”
Louisa’s tone was unpleasant. “You said that you saw my earrings on a secondhand website. Send me a screenshot of it.”
Mikayla snorted. “Do I owe you? Watch your attitude when you talk to me.”
“Mikayla, stop acting like you care about me!” Louisa was angrier than she was. “Haven’t you bullied me enough since we were kids?
“We’re both the Davidsons‘ granddaughters, but you have better food and clothing than me! Grandpa only ever dotes on you, but what about me? I’m only asking you for a small favor now, but you won’t even do that!”
Eduard indeed loved Mikayla more. But Mikayla knew that his love also contained pity because she didn’t have a father’s love.
If she had a dispute with Louisa, he would always be reasonable and impartial.
