Chapter 14 Jonny Returns to the States
"Having had numerous private encounters with Miss Miller, I find myself questioning her belief in 'Love in Equilibrium.' Dalton Bank stands for unadulterated jewelry, demanding its designers exhibit steady conduct and actions. I am of the opinion that Miss Miller doesn't meet the criteria," Luke voiced his thoughts when handed the microphone. His eyes sparkled with amusement as he observed Elsa's forced smile slowly vanish.
The scoring rule was to remove the highest and lowest scores and take the average, so Luke's vote did not affect the overall situation.
He just wanted to make her unhappy.
Fortunately, the other judges were relatively fair and objective.
In the end, she won with an overwhelming advantage, and she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
The results of the top three works would be posted on Dalton Bank's official website for a week. Only when there were no other issues could they sign contracts and receive prizes.
At this moment, Elsa finally felt relieved.
She seemed to have already seen herself entering and leaving the Dalton Bank’s office building in a suit, although a bit tortuous, but she was getting closer to her dream.
So when Elsa walked out of the convention center gate, she was still excited. Luke's mocking words were unpleasant, but they couldn't hurt her actually.
"Elsa, is that really you?" A surprised and joyful voice came, and then Elsa was enveloped in a strong embrace.
Feeling the muscular figure, Elsa knew it was no other than Jonny Jones.
She thought, ‘Why is he back?’
Jonny's father, a successful real estate magnate, was married twice, and Jonny is the child of his second marriage. When Jonny left to study overseas, it gave him a sense of being "exiled."
Since he has been allowed to come back, there could be significant changes in the Jones family.
Speaking of which, Jonny was Elsa's senior in the same major, and her best friend was abroad. Elsa knew that after she left without saying goodbye, Jonny searched for her for a long time. She just didn't know how to explain, so she chose to keep silent.
"How come you're back, too?" Elsa saw that he didn't let her go, so she smiled and hugged Jonny back.
"It's a long story. You are heartless. How could you just leave like that and even change your phone number?" Jonny complained, then patted Elsa's slender back forcefully. "You should keep a regular and healthy diet. You're so skinny now."
And when Luke walked out, he saw this scene.
Elsa wasn't particularly short, but her slender and delicate build made her appear so. When cradled in the arms of Jonny, a man of considerable height and brawn, she seemed even more petite.
She smiled happily, but her smile vanished when she spotted Luke. She turned her head.
Luke thought indignantly, ‘What a manipulative woman! After facing a setback here, she is already enticing Jonny from the Jones family. She truly is a woman who enjoys toying with people's feelings!'
Luke felt a burst of anger in his heart but couldn't find blame her.
He got into the car with a cold face, leaning back in the back seat, sulking.
The driver was off today, so Max served as the driver. Initially, Max was lounging comfortably in his seat, but the sight of Luke's gloomy expression caused him to sit up abruptly.
He had just seen the scene of Elsa being held in Jonny's arms, and when he saw Luke's expression, he immediately understood something.
Luke’s phone rang. It was a message from Karen:[Luke, your mom asked me about the wedding date again today. How about we get the marriage certificate in July?]
Luke threw it aside without replying.
Right now, his mind was full of Elsa.
He thought, ‘What a shameless woman! She embarrassed Jonny in front of so many people. What's the next step? Is she going to have sex with him? Since she could strip naked and throw herself at me to trick me into marrying her, she can do the same to Jonny!’
"Let's go back!" Luke suddenly said.
