Chapter 147: Are You a Hedgehog
Seeing Jerry arrive, Kimberly immediately toned down her sharp and mean expression, but still muttered angrily. “Helping outsiders against your own people!*
Skylar wasn’t as tough as before and just asked, “Why?”
“I told my grandma that I would send her a few custom–made outfits,”
Jerry smiled, “I’m taking Hope Royston back this weekend to hear her thoughts. If you bully her and she gets mad at me, how will I explain it to my grandma?”
Kimberly’s face turned fierce, “You’re taking her to see Mrs. Hammer!”
“What’s it to you?”
Jerry was laconic and didn’t bother to say more.
Kimberly snorted coldly, “Mrs. Hammer always values reputation and rules. How could she possibly allow such a woman…”
“Kimberly Harris, if my grandma can tolerate someone like you, Ms. Royston will probably be very well–liked by her.
Even in front of Skylar, Jerry didn’t spare Kimberly any face.
Skylar, holding back her anger, compromised, “Alright, for your sake, we won’t hold it against her for now!”
“Take care.”
Jerry’s voice was indifferent, directly dismissing them
Jerry’s an
attitude of not caring about anyone made people grit their teeth in anger, but they didn’t dare to argue
As Kimberly and Skylar walked away, I turned to Jerry to thank him, “Thank you. Why did you come?”
“You owe me three meals,”
Jerry casually pulled out a chair and sat down lazily, “Didn’t I just say? I’m here to take care of your business.”
I didn’t believe him, “Are you really that kind–hearted?”
Jerry was someone who never did anything without a benefit.
He never made a losing deal.
Jerry clicked his tongue, raising an eyebrow, “Looks like you’re starting to understand me. You’re right, I’m here to discuss a business deal with you.”
“What kind of business?”
“You make a few outfits for my grandma, and in return, agree to one of my requests later.”
I frowned, “I make the outfits and agree to your request? You call that a business deal?”
No matter how I looked at it, I was
as the one getting the short end of the stick.
There was no mutual benefit.
Jerry leaned back in the chair, his long legs sprawled out casually, “Mrs. Valence, als no, former Mrs. Valence…”
I interrupted, “I have a name, Hope Royston.”
For some reason, Jerry always liked to call me “Mrs. Valence.”
Coming from Jerry’s mouth, it always had a mocking tone.
“Alright, Ms. Royston
Jerry corrected himself indifferently, “I’ll pay for the custom outfits, but those high–society ladies in Maple Valley often visit my grandma to play mahjong…”
“Got it!”
I realized.
Custom outfits are aimed at the upper–middle class.
And the Hammer family is at the top in Maple Valley, a family everyone wants to associate with
If Jerry’s grandma, Grace Taylor, wore clothes I designed, would I still worry about not breaking into the market?
However, I looked at Jerry warily, “What is the request you want me to agree to?”
After what happened at the last party, I’ve learned my lesson.
Jerry’s actions are always unpredictable; I wouldn’t feel at ease without asking in advance.
“Haven’t thought about it yet.”
Jerry shrugged, looking at me with interest, “Do you think you have anything worth my trouble to deceive you for?”
I was speechless for a moment, then after some thought, agreed, “Alright, I agree.”
Although Jerry was unpredictable, he had never done anything bad to me
For the Maple Valley market, it was worth the gamble.
Everything was settled, but Jerry had no intention of leaving.
I couldn’t help but ask, “You’re not leaving?”
Jerry played with his phone, not even looking up. Tm waiting for you to get off work.”

this about?
“A friend dropped me off earlier, and I don’t have a car.”
Jerry said as he showed me his watch, “You’re about to get off work soon, give me a ride.”
“I’ll call you a car.”
I took out my phone, but Jerry frowned and said indifferently, “I never take outside cars.”
Fine.
It’s only natural for heirs to have their quirks.
I had nothing to say, “Then wait.”
I turned and went into my office, and Elissa came over shortly after.
Elissa winked at me, “Why is the Hammer family heir still here?”
“Waiting for a ride.”
I answered helplessly.

Elissa sat down in the chair opposite me, resting her elbows on the desk and propping her face with her hands.
“I noticed that the Harris mother and daughter are quite afraid of him. Why don’t you get closer to him? If something happens, he might help you out.”
“Don’t even think about it.

I refused without a second thought, “Do you
Jerry might seem carefree, but he’s very clear–headed.
No one can use Jerry.
Elissa shook her finger, “No, no, no. Who said anything about using him? We should be sincere…”
“Get back to work.”
I took a piece of leftover cake and stuffed it into Elissa’s mouth, “If it’s intentional, it’s not sincere,”
You can fool others, but not Jerry.
“Alright!”
Elissa mumbled with her mouth full of cake, got up, and left. Halfway out, she turned back to my desk, “Didn’t you say you had someone deal with Kimberly? Why is she still fine today?
I’ll ask about it.”

about it.
But that didn’t mean I would let it go. If there’s someone available, why not use them?
When I finished my work, it was already dark outside.
Through the floor–to–ceiling windows, I saw Jerry still playing on his phone, showing no signs of impatience.
Who would have thought he had such a good temper?
I packed up my things and went out, “Let’s go.”

Jerry yawned, complaining impatiently. “So slow. With your work efficiency, two clients could keep you busy for a
I praised his good temper too soon.
I didn’t bother explaining.
Downstairs, Jerry naturally sat in the passenger seat, as if he owned the place.
I started the car, and once we merged into traffic, I found an opportunity to speak, “Noah Gomez agreed to do something for me. Can you ask him how

Jerry tapped his fingers on the car window and asked pointedly, “A lesson for Kimberly Harris. Aren’t you afraid?”
I intended to keep it from Jerry, but he already knew.
It was also possible that he had already stopped it..
1 gripped the steering wheel tightly, speaking coldly, “Are you trying to protect your god–sister and give me a warning?”
“Are you a hedgehog?”
Jerry glanced at me coolly, “Always ready to prick someone.
I was taken aback
Chapter 147: Are You a Hedgehog
The Hammer family and the Harris family were old friends, and his long–lost fiancée was from the Harris family.
No matter how you looked at it, the Harris family was closer to jerry.
I hesitated, “Then you…”
Before I could finish, Skylar’s call suddenly came in!
On the other end, Skylar was emotionally out of control, angrily questioning, “Hope Royston, did you have someone retaliate against my Kimberly? How could you be so vicious? She’s just a girl, and you had her beaten up. How could you do that?”
