Not to mention the old man, even Enna Clark herself was stunned.
He, he, his woman…
Sure enough, more scrutinizing gazes began to surround them.
Those in the front row with daughters were all looking at Enna, as if they were weighing the importance behind Baron Lawrence’s acknowledgment.
Enna felt uneasy under their gazes. She intended to tug at his sleeve and ask him to talk to them.
But Baron Lawrence had already naturally taken her hand and, in front of everyone, pushed her into the spotlight!
“Enna, this is a retired World War Il general and the helmsman of the Brilliant Group. His last name is Li. Say hello to your uncle.”
Enna was stunned but instinctively obeyed his command. She respectfully greeted the old man who had just spoken, “Hello, Uncle Li.”
After greeting him, she realized something was off.
Why did the situation feel like a husband introducing his social circle to his wife?
Not only did she think this, but the others who had been evaluating her worth also thought the same. The gazes at her finally contained less scrutiny and more appreciation.
A woman whom Young Master Lawrence would go to the trouble of introducing would be a woman in favor, even if she didn’t become the young madam of the Lawrence family in the future!
And to be a woman favored by Baron Lawrence meant that her worth was extraordinary!
A well-meaning smile appeared on their faces, but just how sincere the smile was, only they knew.
“Theodore Jackson, Major Jackson. He’s here on behalf of his father today.” Baron Lawrence didn’t care how these people thought. He held Enna’s hand as he introduced them one by one.
Enna had no choice but to greet each person as it was not the right time to defy him. When she reached the youngest man in the front row, she was surprised to see someone so young. After listening to his introduction, she suddenly understood that he was representing his father, which made sense – other than Baron Lawrence, it seemed impossible for someone so young to ascend to such a high position. “Hello, Major Jackson.”
Baron Lawrence saw her glance at Theodore Jackson several times, and for some reason, he suddenly felt annoyed. That feeling, like being punched silently by someone, made him suddenly irritated!
But he was now putting on a show for this woman, so even if he was angry, he couldn’t express it in front of everyone.
His sharp eyes flickered with a hint of fire, and he pinched Enna’s palm viciously without anyone noticing.
“Um…” Enna felt the pain and couldn’t help but cry out.
“What’s wrong, Miss Clark?” Theodore Jackson was taken aback and asked kindly.
Enna’s face flushed red. She glanced at the culprit beside her, who remained expressionless, gritted her teeth, cursed him in her heart, and squeezed out a smile. “I’m fine. I just accidentally stepped on a stone.”
This explanation was too pretentious. Unable to find a better excuse, she had no choice but to let others misunderstand her. Theodore Jackson didn’t mind, and simply said, “Oh, I see.”
“Miss Clark, be careful when you walk later.” “Yes, thank you for the reminder.”
“You’re welcome.”
The two of them seemed to be getting along well!
Baron Lawrence felt the anger in his chest about to burst out!
The air around him grew colder and colder. As Enna finished chatting with Theodore Jackson, Baron Lawrence suddenly interrupted their conversation with a firm attitude.
“I have something to attend to and need to leave first. I’ll see you at the venue later.”
Theodore Jackson didn’t expect him to speak so suddenly. He nodded and replied gently, “Alright, see you later.”
After speaking, he didn’t forget about Enna beside Baron Lawrence. His eyes shone like stars, as if filled with the warmth of spring, “Miss Clark, see you later..”
