Filed to story: The Regretful Billionaire: An Unpredicted Reunion
She wasn’t counting on Jolene’s gratitude in the first place.She intervened just to prevent Brandon’s plan from succeeding.
Based on Jolene’s character, if Brandon had his way with her, she would likely be controlled by him.
“You won’t tell anyone about what happened just now, will you?”
Jolene was a little worried.
If Danika really did tell others, it would impact her negatively.
Danika stopped and turned back to look at her.
“Don’t worry.As long as you behave and don’t provoke me, I won’t say anything.”
“Hmph! I bet you wouldn’t dare.If you did, the Zellwegers would also lose face.”
Jolene wasn’t a complete idiot.
Danika glanced at her and didn’t bother to continue the conversation.It was a waste of time.
You Dislike Jolene?
The dinner was still ongoing, and the marriage alliance between the Zellwegers and the Windsors meant different things to different people.
After all, if these two families joined forces, it was unlikely that anyone would dare to mess with them.
Some people didn’t think the two families would be on good terms, however, as everyone knew what was going on.
At this point, it would be good enough that the Windsors did not hate the Zellwegers.
Of course, some others thought things would be different after the marriage—the two families would likely come together for their own interests.
Danika didn’t know what everyone had to say about the matter, nor did she care.
She didn’t know what would happen in the future, but for now, the two families were still working together, although most people didn’t know about it.
Danika intended to go find Stephanie, but she saw someone chatting with her from a distance.
Seeing that it was a handsome guy, she didn’t go over.
If Stephanie could get into a new relationship, she would naturally be happy for her friend.
She did notice, though, that Stephanie didn’t appear particularly eager to chat with that guy, so she probably wasn’t interested in him.
Looking around the hall and taking in everyone’s smiling faces, Danika sighed.
Perhaps the only one who wasn’t happy at the moment was James.
Her eyes unknowingly drifted over to James, but she saw him smiling, apparently in quite a good mood.
He was probably discussing business opportunities with someone, and it seemed to be going well, as he seemed much happier than earlier.
Danika withdrew her gaze, thinking she’d perhaps underestimated James too much.
At the end of the day, he didn’t care much about his own rappiness but more about the interests of the Windsors.
Looking around again, she saw Eustace and then Blake, who was holding his arm.
By appearing together like this, they were basically making their relationship official and announcing it to everyone.
Danika didn’t know what others thought, but she was of the opinion that they were a good match.
Because of Blake, Eustace was also the center of attention that night, and the banquet should pose an excellent opportunity for him.
Just as she wondered whether other Quinceys attended the banquet, someone walked up to her.
“Miss Zellweger.”
Danika turned and saw the person who had asked for a ride at the door of the Quincey family residence the other day.
“Mr.Quincey.”
“You can call me Julian.There’s no need to be so formal.”
Julian smiled.
Even though he was in his early twenties, he had a scheming look in his eyes.
Danika found a place to sit down, ard Julian followed.
“Can I call you Danika?”
“Up to you.”
Danika didn’t refuse and was actually quite curious about his intentions.
“Hey, Danika.”
Julian addressed her sweetly.
If it weren’t for the scheming look in his eyes, Danika would really be attracted to him.
After all, who could resist a handsome young guy? Not saying anything, Danika waited for him to speak.
Feeling Danika’s gaze on him, Julian inexplicably became a little nervous.
He felt as if she had clearly seen through his ulterior motives.
He cleared his throat in an attempt to relieve the awkwardness.
“Danika, today is a good day for the Zellwegers, but you don’t seem too happy.”
“Naturally, after all, who would be happy to see someone they don’t like succeed?”
Danika held her forehead, looking distressed.
Julian was curious.
“You seem to dislike Jolene.”
“Yes.” Danika nodded.
It was a well-known fact, so there was nothing to hide.
She was just curious to see what Julian was up to.
When Julian heard that, he laughed.
“How about I help you teach her a lesson? I also find her quite annoying.”
Is It Strange?
After he said those words, Danika’s expression changed slightly as she looked at him and asked, “Did she offend you somehow?”
“Not really.I just don’t like that kind of woman.”
Jolene’s success in her scheme indirectly encouraged other women who intended to make a move behind the scenes to take a leaf out of her book.
Julian would have to watch every drink he had from then onward.
Countless women would try to carry out their plans at any cost, not caring about the consequences.
“If you want to teach her a lesson, that’s your business.Don’t drag me into it.”
Danika didn’t want to be implicated later on if Julian did something and blamed it on her for teaching him.
She wouldn’t be able to explain herself to either the Quinceys or Graham.
Hearing her response, Julian felt aggrieved.
“Danika, I just wanted to help you express your anger.”
“Come on.Don’t pretend to be innocent in front of me, Mr.Quincey.Just tell me what’s your purpose in approaching me.”
She was tired of playing along with him, so she decided to call a spade a spade.
Julian’s expression changed abruptly, but he quickly recovered and said, “What purpose would I have? I just want to be friends with you.”
“With your status, there’s really no need for you to be friends with me.”
Danika laughed humorlessly.
Brandon had just said he also wanted to be friends with her earlier.
Even a fool would find it hard to believe.
Seeing how Julian refused to speak, she felt a little helpless and asked, “You’re here about Eustace, right? Do you want to find out more about him from me?”
Julian didn’t deny it.
