Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 1452 - 740: Just Take It

Allen's remark that she didn't know much about business really pissed her off. If she didn't know it, didn't it mean her brother's efforts had been wasted? Others could question her, but they weren't allowed to question her family members.

Allen looked even gloomier. He had expected that Lady Heather Denmark of the Denmark family would be bad-tempered and capricious, but he had never expected that she would be so bad-tempered and disrespectful!

However, Heather was telling the truth. Christopher Technologies wasn't even outstanding in the industry. Moreover, during the past few years, its scale had been smaller and smaller. Randy didn't think much of such a small company. How could he possibly tell her about it?

Nonetheless, in Allen's ears, her remark was humiliating. He had been living a smooth life and had been praised by the people around him since his childhood. Although he knew that Christopher Technologies was not as good as Denmark Group, he felt strangely confident that it was not much weaker than the Denmark Group.

However, he didn't forget why he had come this evening.

Allen said reluctantly with a fake smile, "Miss Denmark, you're right. Christopher Technologies isn't comparable to the Denmark Group, but it is still very strong compared with some other companies."

"Which company do you mean?" Heather said coldly, "The Anderson family's companies? Clouds Denmark? Prance Denmark? Or Stars Denmark?"

All the family businesses that she mentioned were owned by the families of the guests who were present tonight. Heather didn't care about identity or status at all. Otherwise, she wouldn't have hidden her identity when she went to school and made friends as an ordinary person.

Nevertheless, she hated Allen because the man, who was only related to Alexander by blood but had no feelings at all, wanted to grab his company. Even if he thought Alexander was a pushover, had he asked Alexander's girlfriend whether she agreed?

Since Allen couldn't figure out who he was, she would help him.

When the others heard the conversation, they all turned to look at Allen.

"Did you hear that?"

"Yes. It seems to be Christopher Technologies."

"Have you heard of this company?"

"No, it may be some unknown small company..."

Everyone was discussing things lively and didn't lower their voices. It was originally their private party, so they didn't have to take much into account.

But when the words reached Allen's ears, he barely managed to keep a smile on his face. How could Christopher Technologies compete with these family businesses? Heather's words and the people's reactions were like sharp needles that instantly punctured his complacency.

Allen tried hard to keep a smile on his face. "I'm talking about other companies..."

There was a touch of sarcasm in Heather's words. "Other companies? Like H & C Inc.?"

A hint of anger appeared on Allen's face. He swore at Heather in his heart thousands of times, but finally, he fawned on her. "Christopher Technologies is not as good as it. I'm here today to meet you, Miss Denmark. I heard that you never care about the other side's identity or status when you make friends."

Heather's eyes twinkled, and she was a little surprised. This Allen was pretty calm.

Allen didn't want to try hard to please her, so he directly asked, "Miss Denmark, I wonder if I will have the honor to invite you to dinner in the future."

"No need, I have a full schedule. I'm busy," she said in an indifferent manner..

Allen was in a trance. Why did he feel the sentence sounded so familiar? For some reason, he suddenly had a strange feeling.

"Oh, I see," Allen came to his senses and said. Reluctantly, he took out a gift box, opened it, and showed it to Heather. "Miss Denmark, I heard that you have graduated from university. I have prepared a special gift for you."

With that, he opened the box and let Heather see the pair of earrings inside. He didn't think Heather wouldn't be impressed by these earrings. Even if Heather was from a good family, how could any woman resist the temptation from jewelry?

Allen had previously shown the earrings to his young model girlfriends. Most women liked it so much that he was sure that Heather would have a good feeling for him even if he couldn't win her heart with the earrings.

"Sorry, I can't take it," Heather refused simply.

If he were a little more careful, he would have found that Lady Heather Denmark of the Denmark family had a lot in common with Heather he had just met. It was a pity that Allen had been completely carried away now. He was sure Heather liked his earrings very much, but she had to refuse out of courtesy.

"Just take it," said Allen triumphantly.

"The earrings are worth two hundred thousand dollars!"

His voice wasn't low and instantly attracted the attention of all the people present.

Everyone was speechless. Who the hell was this man? He had already made them unhappy. Now he actually wanted to give. Heather, a gift worth 200,000 dollars? 200,000 dollars...

They would be very embarrassed if they gave a gift at that price as it wasn't presentable, okay?

Anyway, it was a gift from a guest.

Although everybody felt speechless in the heart, they didn't show any dissatisfaction.

But... when their eyes fell on the earrings, many people wore a strange look on their faces.

Were the earrings fake? It was accepted that he gave others something cheap as a gift, but why did he mean as he gave something fake?

Unfortunately, the questioning look made Allen even more proud, and he even felt like he was the focus at the party. He enjoyed this kind of feeling.

Just then, Carl came to Carol and asked with an unhappy face, "Carol, you brought this man in here. What's the matter with him?"

"I, I don't know..." Carol replied with a puzzled face. After she had introduced them to each other, she had gone straight to talk to other friends. She had never expected such an embarrassing thing would happen.

She said helplessly. "When I saw him the last time, I didn't find him so unreliable! Oh no, I'd better take him away..."

Carol was about to walk over when she heard Allen say proudly, "The earrings are ordinary in design, but it's made of good material. Its overall frame is platinum, and it's inlaid with pure natural rubies..."

"Since you can't understand my words,"

Heather indifferently interrupted, "I'll say it again. The reason why I don't want them is not that I think they are too valuable, but that I don't like them at all..."

Allen's face suddenly changed. He pointed at Heather in disbelief. "You, you are…."
