Chapter 1145


    “Who?” Aaron and Xante asked.


    “You’ll know soon enough if he’s willing to help me.” Corinne felt that it was best not to tell them who


    she nned to seek help from until she was sure that person was willing to help.


    Aaron and Xante looked at each other. Neither could guess who Corinne wanted to seek.


    The three of them had lunch in the bedroom. When Corinne asked someone toe in to clean up the


    dishes, Bowen followed the servants in and passed on a message. “Ma’am, the card table has been


    set up. Madam Pam invited you and your friends for a round of card games.”


    ‘Guess she hasn’t forgotten about the card game, then…’ Corinne thought. She nodded and said,


    “We’ll head down right away.”


    After Bowen excused himself, Corinne turned and told the two of them, “We’re ying card games with


    her.”


    Although Aaron and Xante were hardly interested in card games, they did not dare to disobey their


    boss’s orders.


    Pam had told her servant to arrange the card table in the quiet and elegant tea room.


    After Corinne assigned two maids to keep watch over the soundly asleep Joey, she brought Aaron and


    Xante down. When she arrived at the living room, she saw Pam interceding between Annie and


    Francine. She specifically requested Francine to apologize to Annie.


    Annie was never the kind of person who held grudges, so she just nodded and forgave Francine


    without another word.


    However, Aaron was not too happy to see that.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated

    When Corinne came down with Aaron and Xante, Pam waved at them with an affectionate smile.


    “Over here, Corinne! Tell your friends to y some card games with me. It’s been a while since Ist


    yed, and I’m feeling like it today!”


    Corinne smiled and brought her two friends over to sit around the table.


    Annie did now know how to y cards, so she took a chair and sat next to Pam. She helped the old


    lady hold the cards while learning the rules. Throughout the entire time, she did not look at Aaron at all


    and seemed to be deliberately avoiding him.


    Aaron, who sat opposite Pam, nced at Annie from time to time.


    Francine insisted on joining the game since she knew how to y cards. Meanwhile, Xante sat next to


    Corinne and yed as a team.


    Their agreement with Corinne was to take it easy and ensure Pam was happy. However, as soon as


    Aaron sat at the table, he seemed to have forgotten what Corinne told him and targeted Francine


    deliberately.


    After a few rounds, Francine got so angry that she wanted to flip the table. That was when she


    remembered the advice Chester gave her before leaving. He had hoped that she would change her


    temper, so she decided to take a deep breath and bear with it.


    Pam was astute enough to tell Aaron was deliberately making the game difficult for Francine. She


    could not find it in herself to me him either after those remarks that Francine made about him.


    Nevertheless, Aaron still made a point to lighten the atmosphere around Pam. As a result, her mood


    improved even more.


    It was already evening by the time they were done with a few rounds.


    Pam invited them all to have dinner, but both Aaron and Xante declined. Annie turned down the offer


    politely too, and she walked out of the house together with Aaron and Xante.


    Rather than get into Aaron’s car, she politely waved goodbye to Xante and went off alone.


    Aaron told his driver to follow her slowly. He then lowered the window and said to her, “Get in. I’ll send


    you home.”


    Annie continued walking and did not even bother to look at him. “Thanks for the offer, but I’m good. I’m


    not nning on going home right now.”This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.
