Chapter 593 - It’s in My Hands (1/2)

Ivan was practically on the edge when he heard what Laura said. The name 'Laura Nali' was not a stranger for him because he had heard this name for a long time. However, he never had the chance to meet with the girl because she always stayed low.

Even when he wanted to, she would give the excuse that she was busy. His futile attempt made him think that she was unreachable.

How come this woman becomes his cousin's girlfriend? He couldn't accept this. This way, even if Jason didn't become Wells Family Head, he had more than enough resources to build more companies. The Nali Family has been growing closer to the Wells Family, which made them one of the strongest rivals of Wells Family.

What if the elders preferred to have him as the successor instead, so they could gain more companies? NO! He could not let this happen.

”Don't lie! How come you're his girlfriend?”

Jason arched his eyebrows. ”My dear cousin, don't blame it on my girlfriend for your poor luck in finding a partner.”

That was truly a large blow straight to his heart. Ivan glared at Jason deeply. If only looks can kill, Jason would have been dead a few times with the way Ivan glared at the other party.

”I'm sure that private matter is not something that you need to pry on,” Laura smiled sweetly. ”Haven't your family taught you that, Young Master Ivan?”

Although the tone that Laura used was extremely pleasant to the ear, the content was nothing but piercing deeper wounds to Ivan's heart. He wanted to refute Laura, but the elder had pulled him back.

Right now, they were in front of the reporters. There was no need for Ivan to embarrass himself further by giving in to the taunt these two gave him. Despite being unwilling, Ivan had no choice but to back down.

'Smart boy,' Jason thought to himself. ”Let's get inside. I'll answer your question if we have the time.”

Jason took Laura's hand into his. Seeing their action, the reporters crazily tried to capture their picture. Every single angle possible of these two holding hands were taken by them. Even some frantic reporters went to the degree of climbing the trees just to get a better angle for the pic.

This is a new sensation. The most well-known young master in this city is getting a girlfriend! Not to mention, his girlfriend is the recently famous and talented family head.

This is truly a scoop.

Slowly, Jason walked into the mansion with Laura holding his hand.

”Are you alright?” he asked worriedly. He didn't want Laura to feel suffocated because of his matter.

Laura nodded her head. ”Don't worry, I'm fine.”

”That's good.”

Behind them, Ivan was staring at the door as if he wanted to bore a hole into them. He felt immense anger at the thought that Jason would be able to get everything that he wanted because of a woman.

”Young Master, let's get in.”

”Yeah,” Ivan's eyes narrowed. Even if Jason could get Laura, it didn't mean the elders' opinion would lean to Laura. He would make sure about that.

In the hall, the elders' gaze was directed towards Laura. She was dressing properly, like how an elegant woman should dress. Although she was beautiful, her beauty was shown in a rather mild manner, not allowing them to see through her.

Wells Family Head spoke up first.

”Jason, you should explain yourself.”

”Yes, Father,” Jason replied somberly. ”For the past few days, I've contacting Laura to talk about the matter of her attack after she rejects the notion of collaboration. From what I heard, they didn't plan on letting her go at all because there are a lot of attacks directed to the Nali Family for the past few weeks.

However, the government didn't place serious importance in eliminating Nali Family Head because she's staying low. They're just trying to cut off everyone who tries to oppose them because they want to be the sole one in power in this city.”

Laura stayed silent. In truth, they didn't even talk about that matter at all. What they were doing was only him helping her out with her paper per usual and him teasing her all day. However, there was no way she could tell that to the elders. There was no need for them to know their relationship has been going for a long time.
