Chapter 39 Top Beauty
Michael and Jennifer were extremely confused as they watched the two women leave, not knowing what had really happened.
They couldn't understand why James had suddenly become a guest at the Moonlight Garden.
Michael wanted to inquire about the situation, but Mr. Jackson didn't give him a look and simply turned away.
Mark had been quite lenient in not kicking Michael out, considering that without their instigation, Mark would never have offended James in the first place.
Labeling the chairman of Moonlight Garden as a poor delivery guy was the most ludicrous joke Mark had ever heard in his life.
"Michael, what's wrong on with James? He shouldn't have the means to dine in a place like this!" Jennifer's brow furrowed as she questioned Michael.
"James must have used some trick to deceive Mr. Jackson. Otherwise, even if he won the lottery, considering how much he spent at the Azure Pavilion last time, he wouldn't have the funds to be here!" Michael replied angrily in a low tone.
"Shouldn't we go and talk to Mr. Jackson about this?" Jennifer was unconvinced about not expelling James from the premises.
"I think James should be a consistent attitude with Mr. Jackson. It's futile for us to approach him now!" Michael remembered Mr. Jackson's recent demeanor towards him and his non-membership status at Moonlight Garden, feeling there was no point.
Jennifer couldn't help but sigh at Michael's words.
"Don't worry, one day he'll slip up, and we'll expose him then!" Michael turned to look at Jennifer with a sly grin.
"So what do we do now?" Jennifer nodded her head inquiringly.
"My friend should be here by now. Let's go!" Michael glanced at the time and said calmly.
On the other side, the petite beauty and the professional woman hurried back into the Number One VIP room.
Upon entering the room, they immediately froze, their expressions conveying extreme surprise.
James was actually sitting in the room at that moment.
Seeing the two women enter, James couldn't help but exhibit a sense of resignation on his face as he stood up and said, "Miss, what do you want? I've already apologized to you for bumping into you yesterday, and spilling water on your face today was also an accident. Why do you keep hounding me?"
At that moment, James was preoccupied with thoughts of meeting his fiancée, so when he saw the petite beauty enter his room, he assumed she was there to cause trouble.
"Why are you in this room?" the petite beauty asked James.
"I reserved this room; of course, I'm here!" James responded with a hint of confusion.
"No, I mean, why did you reserve this room?" the petite beauty asked in shock.
"I reserved the room for dinner, of course!" James didn't want her to know that he had reserved the room to meet his fiancée, as she might cause a scene later on.
"Did you reserve this room to meet someone?" the professional woman, who had been silent until now, asked James.
Upon hearing the professional woman's question, James hesitated for a moment, then strangely replied, "Yes, I came here for to meet someone!"
"Is the person you're meeting named Laura?" the professional woman took a step forward and continued to inquire.
"How did you know that?" James was instantly shocked to hear this.
The petite beauty and the professional woman exchanged glances upon hearing James' answer, their faces expressing deep helplessness. They knew that James was indeed the fiancee of the professional woman today!
"Laura, your fiancee is really a sleazebag!" the petite beauty stammered towards Laura.
Laura stood still, her smile forced on her face, looking silly.
Even though she wasn't materialistic, according to Nancy's description of James, Laura didn't think much of him. Naturally, she was resistant to the idea of James being her fiancee.
"What are you two talking about?" James was confused when he overheard the conversation between Laura and Nancy.
Laura and Nancy stood there blankly, not knowing how to answer James' question.
"How did you two know that I was going to meet Laura?" James continued.
Laura hesitated for a moment, then shyly said in a low voice, "Because I am the person you're meeting!"
Upon hearing this, James was utterly baffled!
Before meeting Laura, James had always assumed that his fiancée would be unattractive and probably of an unpleasant character. But he never imagined that his fiancée would be such an exceptional beauty!
Moreover, with her stunning figure and exceptional grace, she outshone everyone else.
Inheriting a trillion-dollar fortune and now finding such a stunning woman to be his wife, James felt that like his life had suddenly turned for the better.
Looking at James, Laura's eyes held not only disbelief but also astonishment.
She had never imagined that James would be her fiancé.
Standing beside Laura, Nancy's face mirrored shock and speechlessness.
After learning of this sudden engagement, Laura struggled for a long time to accept the situation.
Initially, she felt she didn't know the man and shouldn't marry him.
Every woman hoped to marry someone she genuinely liked.
Furthermore, in the 21st century, arranged marriages were a thing of the past.
When she understood the situation, Laura was hesitant, but her father, Joe Hall, had a serious conversation with her and forced her to accept.
The Hall International Group was experiencing financial troubles and needed a significant influx of funds to stay afloat. Joe Hall searched through domestic banks and group partners, but none were willing to lend a hand.
If the situation continued, Hall International Group could face closure, and Joe could even end up in jail.
In his desperation, an overseas company suddenly offered economic support to the Hall International Group.
However, the condition was that The Hall Family had to surrender fifty-one percent of the shares and marry Laura to James.
Hence, this unexpected turn of events led to Laura becoming James' fiancée.
