Chapter 22 How Bold
In Jonathan’s eyes, Willow outshone Xenia in every aspect. There was a huge difference
between the two
of them.
Even Zoey outshone Xenia.
The difference was vast when one compared the three of them. To Jonathan, Xenia
seemed like an
uncultured and unattractive woman.
Meanwhile, Willow possessed a unique charm that attracted him.
Jonathan’s hidden intentions didn’t escape Caspian’s gaze.
“Let’s not be too formal, everyone. There’s no need to be reserved. I’m an easy-going
person.
“All of us are considered friends from now on. Feel free to reach out to me if you ever need
anything.
“Or you guys can come to the club. It’s on me,” Jonathan said, squeezing out a smile.
Jonathan planned to win Willow over slowly. Thus, he wanted to try his best to leave a
good impression
on her. After all, he knew he couldn’t rush when it came to women like her.
“How generous of you, Mr. Green!”
“We’ll definitely come to support if we have the chance.”
“That’s right. We’ll have to thank Mr. Green in advance.”
All of them were fidgeting. They had no choice but to say some nice words out of
politeness. After all, none of them wanted to visit places as chaotic as clubs.
After that, they started to greet Willow.
“Willow, I didn’t expect you to be as attractive as you were back in school!”
“Willow, you didn’t even bat an eyelash at me when I pursued you back then.”
“I didn’t expect you to get married suddenly. I was upset for a long time!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThose were all spoken by the male classmates.
Caspian didn’t think much about it.
Willow was the prettiest girl in school, after all. It was normal for her to have admirers.
1/4
Caspian felt more than happy when his wife was praised.
Initially, Xenia wanted to be the center of attention. Thus, she felt unhappy when she saw
everyone being
friendly toward Willow.
After ail, Xenia wanted to be in the spotlight at today’s gathering. Yet, everyone seemed to
be more
focused on Willow.
“Willow, what does your husband do for a living?” Xenia deliberately asked.
“He’s working at my company,” Willow replied indifferently.
“Huh? So, the rumors were true? Is your husband a kept man who relies on you
financially?” Xenia mocked.
Zoey couldn’t take it anymore. “Well, at least Willow is capable enough to do so. She’s
unlike some sugar
baby who relies on men to survive,” she butted in.
As Willow’s best friend, Zoey would definitely support her. Zoey didn’t like Xenia’s attitude.
“What do you mean? Who are you calling a sugar baby?”/
Xenia didn’t expect Zoey to be so straightforward.
Instantly, Xenia was angered.
“Did I mention you? Why are you getting mad?” Zoey challenged.
Although Xenia’s boyfriend looked fierce, he had to suppress his anger at that moment.
This was
especially the case when two beautiful women were right before him.
People like Xenia couldn’t be spoiled. She would get arrogant once she got a few
compliments.
Despite her irritation, Xenia could only swallow her pride. After all, it would look bad if
Xenia confronted
Zoey in front of so many people.
As for Jonathan, his attention was fixed on Willow when she appeared.
Jonathan started to reveal his intentions once the dishes were served after a few rounds of
toasts.
“Everyone in Southlake City knows about Ms. Stewart’s beauty and talent. Thus, it’s an
honor for me to
meet you here.
“After meeting you here today, I think you certainly live up to your reputation. Let me
make a toast to you,
Ms. Stewart,” Jonathan said while raising his glass.
At that moment, Xenia’s expression darkened.
There was no way she could endure her lover toasting another woman.

Xenia was overshadowed by Willow ever since they were at school. Now, Xenia still could
not beat her!
After seeing what happened, Willow didn’t know what to do. She rarely drank white wine.
However, it would be impolite if she refused to.
Willow paused for a moment.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t drink wine.” She chose to reject him in the end.
“Ms. Stewart, are you looking down on me?” Jonathan’s face turned serious.
“No…” Willow felt a bit scared.
Jonathan had a sly smile on his face. “Ms. Stewart, I’m well off and have a strong
background. I don’t
think it’s too much for you to honor me with a drink, right?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHis tone made it hard for one to reject him.
“Are you deaf? My wife said that she doesn’t drink wine!” Caspian reprimanded in a low
voice.
Caspian thought that Jonathan was extremely daring to flirt with his wife. His firm attitude
also silenced
the entire room.
Nob*dy could have expected a loser like Caspian to be so disrespectful toward Jonathan.
Even Willow felt stunned. After all, Caspian had risked everything to protect her! It was an
incredibly bold
move!
This was the complete opposite of how Caspian usually acted. Thus, Willow didn’t expect
his outburst at
all.
At that, Jonathan’s smile disappeared from his face.
“Well? Are you going to drink this wine instead?” he asked indifferently.
Caspian was long known for being a loser.
Naturally, Jonathan didn’t bother to go easy with Caspian.
“You want to drink with me? I’m afraid you’re not qualified to do so,” Caspian added
indifferently.
After all, Caspian was Lord Caspian. There was no way he would drink with such a
hooligan. It would be
hilarious if he did!
Instantly, everyone in the room was stunned!
Caspian was extremely bold!
His words had caused everyone in the room to fall silent.
Willow and Zoey looked at Caspian in shock. It was like Caspian became a different
person!
Jonathan’s expression was dark.
“You… You must have a death wish!” he said angrily.
