The next day, Elaina was woken up by Saul’s phone call.
“Saul, it’s too early! Can’t you let me sleep in?” When Elaina picked up the phone, she was displeased.
Saul, who was on the phone, was stunned. He was surprised, but he quickly came back to his senses. “You didn’t sleep well last night?”
Elaina had a reason for her bad sleep. Last night, Jalen’s face was always in her mind. She couldn’t even fall asleep!
“What’s the matter?” Elaina took a deep breath and controlled her emotions.
“Aren’t you going to Nitzan’s birthday banquet today? I’ll take you to do some styling in the morning.” Saul was aggrieved. After so many years, Elaina was the first woman to enjoy such a service.
This chance was so rare, but Elaina did not care at all.
Elaina facepalmed and almost could not control her anger. “If I remember correctly, the birthday party will start at night. Why are you taking me to the styling so early? Are you crazy?”
“Don’t you need a whole day for the styling?” Saul said.
“I don’t know how long it will take for others, but I’ll be quick,” Elaina said. “You don’t have to worry about the styling. I will handle it myself.”
“Then… how about getting up and having breakfast?” At this moment, Saul was already outside the apartment building. He was unwilling to leave without seeing Elaina.
“No need!” With that, Elaina hung up the phone.
She fell asleep again.
Outside the apartment building, Saul looked at the disconnected call and was at a loss.
It was rare for him to spend so much time styling for a woman, but Elaina just rejected him.
Why should he waste his time on such a woman who didn’t know what was good for her? Why didn’t he agree to Jalen’s conditions and let Jalen help him stabilize his position in the Judson family?
Wouldn’t that be better?
As soon as this thought emerged in Saul’s mind, he saw Jalen walking out not far away, and his face instantly turned cold.
Humph, he would not let Jalen help even if he was going to die!
Jalen also saw Saul and his good mood was affected. “Why didn’t I realize that you were so diligent?”
“I’m pursuing a girl. Of course, I have to be more diligent,” Saul said with a smile.
“It’s a pity that there are some things that cannot be achieved just by working hard.” In Jalen’s opinion, even if Elaina did not like him, she would not like Saul.
However, Saul did not care about Jalen’s sarcasm. Instead, he smiled and said, “In any case, I have Elaina as my female companion tonight. I’m afraid that you have to be alone.”
“That’s not right.” Saul then shook his head. “I heard that the young lady of the Lory family is interested in you. Maybe, you can team up with her.”
Jalen’s face darkened, and Saul smiled even brighter. “But I heard that the Lory family was involved in the kidnapping of Elaina. I think Elaina must hate them.
“Jalen, why don’t you join hands with me to bankrupt the Lory family? Maybe, Elaina will have a different view of you.”
The Lory family was on par with the Judson family. They were not as powerful as the Halton family, but they were not bad. If they destroyed the Lory family and took their assets, Saul felt that his family could soar.
However, Jalen looked at Saul like he was a fool. “The Halton family and the Lory family have been close all the time. Why do you think I will agree?”
“You don’t agree?” Saul shrugged indifferently. “It doesn’t matter. Anyway, I’m not the one Elaina hates.
“I estimate that with Elaina’s character, she won’t forgive the Lory family.”
Saul thought for a moment and continued, “I heard that Theodore is Elaina’s big brother. If I propose to join hands with Theodore to deal with the Lory family, will Elaina agree?”
