How could Nathaniel Summers not understand? This so-called meeting is actually the father-in-law’s assessment of his future son-in-law. If he goes, it would confirm his relationship with Jade Carlson.

“Jade, we initially agreed that…” Nathaniel’s expression was somewhat uneasy. Jade Carlson, upon hearing this, felt devastated and pled, “I know, I promised not to have expectations or demands, but… since dad has asked, I really can’t refuse. Nathaniel, can you please help me? I really don’t want to disappoint my dad. The last incident… it was quite embarrassing for him.”

Because of Caspian Maple’s case, George Carlson rejected any relationship with Jade during a press interview, claiming that they only coincidentally shared the same surname. Facing Jade privately, he couldn’t help but feel resentment.

Nathaniel understood Jade’s difficult situation, but he couldn’t go and meet Mayor Carlson as her boyfriend under any circumstances!

“I’m sorry, Jade.” Nathaniel’s tone was heavy, “In this past year, because of my illness, you’ve given so much. I deeply appreciate your help. If you need money, I can find a way to help. But I really can’t agree to this.”

“Why can’t we act through it, like a performance?” Jade was almost in tears.

“It’s not about pretending, Jade. It may seem low of me to say this, but I truly see you as a friend. If you need any other help, I will do my utmost to assist you. But this… I really can’t,” Nathaniel averted his gaze, he felt guilty and couldn’t face Jade’s tear-filled eyes.

He felt guilty, even though they had agreed previously, but when things have developed to this stage, he still felt guilty.

Nathaniel realised he had become the kind of person who abandons his friends after using them.

Jade indeed burst into tears, she looked pitiful beyond words.

“Nathaniel, I know that you love Suzanne Saunders, but is there really no place for me in your heart? Even if it means acting through this, you still wouldn’t want to?” Jade asked with blurred vision due to her tears, her heart filled with anger.

She didn’t expect that Nathaniel, known for his soft-heartedness, would be so adamant this time!

Despite the Summers Family’s declining prestige, a camel that is starved is still larger than a horse. If she could present herself as the girlfriend of a centuries- old prominent family’s descendant, it would definitely add weight to her status. Therefore, if she could take Nathaniel to see George Carlson, he would once again view her with importance! And she could take advantage of Mayor’s authority to compel Nathaniel to accept her, to become his fiance.

It would be a win-win situation. Who would’ve thought Nathaniel could be so stubborn!

Nathaniel sat across the coffee table, his expression still troubled, “I’m really sorry…”

His apology was equivalent to a rejection.

Jade felt her tears were wasted.

She had invested so much time and energy in this man, only to have it all end up in vain! How hateful!

The hand lying on her lap was already clenched into a fist, the long nails were embedded deep, but Jade was oblivious of it.

She was in too much pain!

Since she met Purple Summers, she has been hitting a wall at every turn, everything was going against her!

Looking back now, if it hadn’t been for last time at the banquet, when her wearing Suzanne’s clothes was exposed by Purple, she would have already won over Nathaniel! Rather than the current situation, where Nathaniel is wary, untrusting, even wanting to cut ties!

She not only lost her chance of fame but lost both the man and her job.

And the root of all these problems was Purple Summers!

Jade Carlson bore hatred in her heart, so much that she was gnashing her teeth. She would make Purple Summers pay a bitter price!
