Chapter 860 Ask Him Yourself
Jenny didn’t understand why, but she didn’t oppose what he said. “Alright, you handle it. I trust your abilities.” “Okay.” Evan smiled and asked her, “So, Luke approached you to talk about this collaboration? Why is he suddenly being kind?”
“Whatever his purpose is, as long as we can get tangible benefits, it doesn’t matter even if he has ulterior motives.” Jenny didn’t care; in fact, she could guess what Luke was up to.
Hearing her words, Evan knew that Jenny wasn’t interested in Luke. Even so, he would still help Alec get rid of Xavier, as he wasn’t exactly thrilled to see Luke constantly pestering Jenny.
After breakfast, Evan suggested taking Jenny to meet Gilbert, and they could have a meal together.
Jenny didn’t refuse. She hadn’t seen much of Gilbert since he came back some time ago. They were all busy, and Jenny didn’t know if it was her imagination or something else, but she felt that Gilbert had become more distant after he returned. It was unlike when they were in Parrington, where they used to contact each other almost every day.
On the way to meet Gilbert, Evan suddenly remembered something. “Do you know about Gilbert’s situation?”
“Huh? What situation?” Jenny was a little confused, not quite understanding the meaning behind Evan’s words.
Evan thought Jenny already knew. After all, Gilbert’s matter had caused quite a stir, and based on their relationship, she shouldn’t be unaware.
Right then, Evan had no idea about what happened between Gilbert and Jenny, so naturally, he wouldn’t know why Gilbert went abroad. He had always thought that Gilbert went abroad to develop his
business.
He hesitated for a moment but didn’t tell her about it ultimately. “You can ask him yourself later.”
Since Gilbert didn’t tell Jenny, he probably didn’t want her to know. If Evan were to tell her, it would probably make Gilbert unhappy.
“Oh.” Jenny found it strange that Evan was being so secretive. Was there something that they were purposely hiding? Filled with doubt, she asked Gilbert about it right away the moment they saw each other.
Gilbert immediately glanced at Evan, and his eyes seemed like they could kill. Evan rubbed his nose and looked away; he didn’t know Gilbert hadn’t told Jenny about that matter.
“Gilbert?” Jenny found it odd that Gilbert wasn’t speaking, but staring at Evan instead.
It made her feel even more puzzled.
When he turned his head and looked at Jenny, there wasn’t a trace of the killing intent earlier in his eyes. They had already returned to normal. “Don’t listen to his nonsense.
Nothing is going on. I’m just having some trouble dealing with a difficult client.”
“A difficult client? How so?” Jenny was skeptical. If it was just a difficult client, Evan shouldn’t know about it.
Gilbert remained silent, appearing to be deep in thought from Jenny’s perspective, but Evan knew that he was trying to come up with a lie.
Sure enough, not long after, Gilbert spoke up, “It’s just that I didn’t want to work with that customer, so he found someone to go after me behind my back. I got injured, but it was nothing serious.”
Upon hearing the word “injured,” Jenny immediately became anxious.” Where did you get hurt? Is it serious?”
“I’m fine now. It wasn’t serious,” Gilbert replied.
“How can you not tell me about something so huge?” Jenny was angry, but after her anger subsided, she blamed herself. If it wasn’t because of her, Gilbert wouldn’t have gone abroad. She felt guilty and apologized, “I’m sorry, Gilbert. It’s all my fault…”
“What does it have to do with you? This is part and parcel of doing business. You’re bound to encounter people willing to do anything to get their way. It’s nothing strange. Don’t think too much into it,” Gilbert reassured Jenny, and he felt relieved that she believed him. Lying to Jenny took a lot of courage on his part.
