Chapter 279
Jay made more than a dozen calls to Rose, but her phone remained switched off.
He called Josephine who took a look at the furious mother-daughter duo, then a look at the incoming caller ID before she quietly hung up on him.
Jay looked depressedly at his phone. For the first time in his life, he felt that the small, weak women were difficult to take care of.
"Grayson, how do I coax a woman?” Jay asked listlessly as he slumped against the back of his chair.
Looking at the mirror, Grayson gave the frustrated Mr. Ares an incredulous look.
Mr. Ares had started his business when he was still a teenager and effectively cut through the black and white of the business world. Even the most cunning people and evil wolves had nowhere to hide in his presence.
Yet, he was stumped by a few women.
"Mr. Ares, I have no experience in coaxing women. You'll have to ask your fourth uncle for help. He’s one o f the most flirtatious men I've met.” Grayson had a look of admiration on his face when John was mentioned.
"Call him," Jay ordered.
It took Grayson a moment to realize what he had said.
Mr. Ares was probably worried that John would laugh at him, so he wanted him to call John, right?
Grayson hesitated. "Mr. Ares, he might not talk to me ...?"
"Try."
Forced by Mr. Ares, Grayson had no choice but to take out his phone obediently and call John.
"Sir... John?" Grayson stuttered when the line connected.
"Oh, Grayson, why didn't my nephew call me himself? Ask him, does he not have me, his fourth uncle, in his eyes anymore?" John had already guessed that Grayson called him under Jay's orders, so he took the chance to poke fun at Jay.
Grayson was caught between the uncle and nephew who were at odds with each other.
Jay said coldly, "Tell him, I've never had him in my eyes. He has always been in my heart."
Grayson relayed what Jay said word for word, causing John to roar in laughter. "My little nephew is a sweettalker today. Does he have something to ask from me?"
Grayson knew that all the people in the Ares family were smart.
"Sir John, you're correct. We..."
Seeing how Jay's cold eyes suddenly widened, Grayson changed his sentence swiftly. "I have a relative who’s in the middle of a divorce with his wife, but he doesn't want this divorce. I remembered that Sir John is experienced in this, so I thought I'd seek advice from you..."
John could hear what Grayson was masking in his words, but he was still surprised. Had his nephew not always hated Rose and wanted to get rid of her? How had the scene changed in just a few days?
Did he want to remarry Rose?
"That's easy!" John proclaimed confidently.
Jay leaned forward, listening intently to what John had to say.
Grayson hurriedly turned on the loudspeaker on his phone.
"There are two kinds of women. The first kind loves you for your money, and the other kind loves you for who you are. For the first kind, you coax her with money, and for the second kind, you coax her with passion. Do you understand?”
Grayson looked at Jay through the back view mirror. His brows were furrowed together and it was apparent that he did not understand, so he asked, "Can you be more specific?"
This was the first time John had felt superior to Jay, s o he said haughtily, "Using money to coax women, that's what my little nephew is good at. Using passion to coax women, on the other hand, hehe, that’s going t o be hard for someone with an EQ as low as his."© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
