Chapter 486 Sorry, I'm Already Married
Lisa was a woman. At the same time, she was a highly intelligent woman who loved to strategize. She had been preparing for today's date for a long time, rehearsing in her mind no less than a hundred possible scenarios. She had even considered the possibility of James making advances or harassing her. But what she had never expected was that James would behave so indifferently. The key point was that she could feel James's indifference was not an act but natural, which made her very uncomfortable.
What she didn't expect even more was that James would ask her this question.
Lisa wasn't stupid; she had already roughly sensed that James was not interested in her or in this arranged marriage.
Realizing this made her even more uncomfortable.
Lisa was one of the three great beauties of the City of Mysteries, a top-tier beauty by any global standard. Not to mention, her intelligence was exceptional, and her abilities were outstanding.
'James, you may be excellent, but you're not some super handsome guy. The fact that I'm willing to marry you is your great fortune, okay?' Lisa thought.
"Mr. Smith, if you have something to say, just say it directly. There's no need to beat around the bush." Lisa showed a faint smile, her expressive eyes fixed on James.
Any other man in New York City, even Neil and Maurice, would feel nervous and their breathing would quicken under Lisa's gaze.
But James had no such reaction at all. He remained exceptionally calm, as if the stunning beauty in front of him was just an ordinary woman he met on the street.
James didn't waste any words and said directly, "Ms. Savoy, we are not suitable for each other."
Even though Lisa had anticipated James's response, hearing it firsthand, she couldn't help but feel enraged. Her brow twitched twice in anger, and she laughed bitterly, her smile growing even more radiant. "Mr. Smith, what do you mean by that? Do you think I'm not worthy of you?"
Heather, standing nearby, widened her eyes in incredulity, staring at James. She thought James was not only arrogant but also a fool. Could he ever find another woman as exceptional as Lisa in this world?
Lisa's words already carried a hint of displeasure, but James didn't get angry at all because he understood Lisa's mindset very well. As the second daughter of the Savoy family and one of the three great beauties of New York City, being rejected by a man in this matter would definitely make her unhappy.
James himself had been through similar experiences and could fully understand Lisa's feelings.
James still politely said, "Ms. Savoy, you misunderstood. On the contrary, it's I who am not good enough for you."
Lisa became even more displeased. 'What do you mean? Are you deliberately trying to disgust me? The marriage between us is the will of the heads of our two families. Besides, you, James, are the eldest son of the Smith family and the number one genius of New York City. Saying you're not good enough for me is just being sarcastic!' Lisa was furious inside.
Lisa was a cultured person and wouldn't say such things out loud. She continued to smile and said, "Mr. Smith, you must be joking. You are the eldest son of the Smith family, with a distinguished status. You are also the number one genius of New York City, outshining everyone. If we get married, it would be your loss."
James didn't speak immediately this time. Instead, he was silent for a moment before saying, "Ms. Savoy, let me put it this way. I am already married and cannot marry you."
With this, Lisa's pupils instantly widened, and her mouth opened in surprise. "What? Are you married?"
This news was shocking and unexpected for Lisa. It could be said that no one in the industry didn't know James. Even Maurice and Neil, who were at the peak of their careers, were only there because James had disappeared; otherwise, it wouldn't have been their turn to rise.
James, a man who had remained single all these years, had never allowed any woman into his world. 'Now he claims he is already married? Furthermore, he dared to reject me, Lisa, for this woman? Who on earth could be so exceptional?' Lisa scoffed inside.
To be honest, Lisa agreed to the arranged marriage with James entirely for the sake of benefits and another purpose. She had no romantic feelings for James.
But now, knowing that James was married, she couldn't help but feel a sense of competitiveness and wanted to know who this woman was.
Was it Cynthia Robinson or Brenda Roberts?
These two were the other two great beauties of New York City, alongside her.
Heather was equally stunned. This guy was actually married.
This was something she had never heard of.
Which woman was so unlucky to marry him?
Immediately, she also felt indignant. This guy must have a problem with his brain, rejecting Lisa for another woman. Was there any woman in this world who could compare to Lisa?
"Yeah," James nodded, then showed an apologetic smile and said, "So, Ms. Savoy, I apologize."
James behaved gracefully and politely with exceptional manners. He was, without a doubt, the most well-mannered man Lisa had encountered in recent years. In James, she saw none of the arrogance and flamboyance typical of a youngster. Even Maurice and Neil couldn't completely hide this aura, and their inherent sense of superiority made interactions somewhat uncomfortable.
But James had none of that. Looking at him was like facing a towering mountain, a vast ocean, a piece of warm jade. Especially James's eyes, which were clear and unwavering, without a trace of impurity.
Every man who looked at her, except for her elders, had some degree of lust in their eyes, but James did not. It wasn't an act; he genuinely had none.
There was only one reason that James truly had no interest in her.
And James was a normal man with a normal sexual orientation. The only reason could be that James deeply loved that woman, and his heart filled with her, which allowed him to remain so indifferent to other women.
She suddenly felt a bit jealous of this woman, who could receive such complete love from a man like James.
Lisa frowned and asked, "Who is this woman? Is it Cynthia Robinson or Brenda Roberts?"
Unexpectedly, James asked in astonishment, "Who are they?"
Were you pretending, right? You didn't even know Cynthia and Brenda? They were famous beauties, just like Lisa.
