However, the receptionist quickly realized she had misspoken after feeling Ashton’s gaze on her and recalling Emmanuel’s identity as a taken man. So, she wasted no time excusing herself and skedaddling.
“Hmph, don’t listen to that woman’s nonsense! I really, really dislike you. I’m just here to see Julian’s blind date!” Ashton quickly explained.
Emmanuel didn’t pay her any mind and shrugged, walking straight to the elevator.
“Jerk!” Ashton muttered under her breath and quickly followed him. novelbin
When the two arrived on the fifth floor, Ashton saw Julian sitting alone at table number 8, waiting patiently. She couldn’t believe her eyes as she stomped over.
“Julian!”
“Huh? Ash, why are you here too?” Julian was also quite surprised when he caught sight of Ashton. “Are you that worried that I would be a no-show? Is that why you’re here? To supervise?”
“I wish!” Ashton had no intention of making Julian come in the first place. Instead, she wished that Julian wouldn’t come. That way, Emmanuel could tell her in front of her sister that she was more beautiful than her! Alas, she had lost that bet since Julian just had to be here!
Hence, she was very agitated as she demanded, “Julian! Didn’t you say that even if the sea flowed in reverse and the Earth was destroyed, you would never come for a blind date with Roselynn Lowe?”
When Julian noticed how intense Ashton was, he scratched his head awkwardly and said grandiosely, “Yes! But later on, I discovered that love can really overcome everything! I can do anything for the sake
of my Hestia! I can also do things I don’t like just to win her heart!”
“Who is this Hestia you’re talking about?” Ashton was really confused. Just what woman had such great charm that she could completely captivate her nitpicky brother?
“She’s here!” Julian pointed casually.
Ashton immediately followed his gaze and thought she was seeing things! Wasn’t that Emmanuel’s sister, Roselynn? What the f*ck was going on?
Emmanuel was also sitting in a corner of the restaurant and found Ashton’s expression amusing! She probably didn’t know that both their siblings had used stand-ins for their blind dates previously! “Alright, go away. Don’t you dare get in my way!” Julian saw Roselynn approaching and quickly shooed Ashton away. That way, she wouldn’t be able to interfere with his conversation with Roselynn.
Ashton had no choice but to walk away, feeling a bit lost. Eventually, she took a seat next to Emmanuel.
Before she could say a word, she was rendered utterly dumbstruck! Another unexpected scene unfolded before her as Julian sat at table number 8 while Roselynn sat at table number 9. Although they were at different tables, they were still very close to each other!
Julian had been persistently… No, perhaps it would be more appropriate to say “attempting” to flirt with Roselynn.
“What on Earth is going on here?” Even Ashton, a master detective, couldn’t understand the convoluted and bizarre story behind it all!

The moment Emmanuel noticed she was about to storm over, he quickly grabbed her wrist and smiled, saying, “Do you still think your brother would consider you more attractive than my sister?”
“You despicable guy!” Ashton was so frustrated that she wanted to punch him. It was only the fact that she knew she wouldn’t stand a chance that she stayed her hand.
“If you want your brother to stay single, then, by all means, go ahead and interrupt their date!” Emmanuel pulled Ashton back to his side.
Ashton’s face had a peculiar expression. This man was really audacious. Even though he had a wife, he still dared to hold her hand? Hmph! How infuriating! Still, she couldn’t help but feel disappointed when he did release his grip on her wrist.
Emmanuel didn’t care about her thoughts as he hastily whisked out his phone to invite Mom and his wife to join the video call. He had deliberately told Roselynn to pick Table 9. That was because he recalled just how Julian and Ashton had derided Roselynn prior to this. Now, he was going to use this opportunity to ensure that they wouldn’t learn about each other’s identities so quickly. Of course, he had another purpose in mind, which was to prevent Roselynn from discovering that her blind date was the guy who had been bothering her all this while. He was worried she would turn on her heel and leave right then and there if she were to know about this. So, as long as they stuck to his calculations, they would have more opportunities to interact!
“Mom, what do you think of this man? He likes Roselynn!” Alessandra joined the video call first. So, Emmanuel immediately asked for her opinion.
“He’s a grown man, isn’t he? Why does he still have long hair? Well, other than the strange hairstyle, he seems okay.” Alessandra didn’t like men with long hair either. So, she couldn’t help but furrow her
brows in distaste.
Ashton was angry to see them, a mother and son, criticizing Julian with such abandon. After all, Julian was the future heir of the Summerton Group. He was worth hundreds of millions. So, just when did it become the business of an old woman to disparage him like that?
