Chapter 361: It Was a Slip of the Tongue
"What's wrong?"
"I have to go and help my cousin, and then I'll come back and find you."
Sally flushed again.
"You needn't come! What do you want to do?"
"I should visit your friend. Well, it's time for me to go."
Jasper made up an excuse, waved his hand, and walked away.
Sally bit her lips and watched Jasper walk away. Finally, she couldn't help chuckling.
"What a fool! Although he doesn't even know who my friend is, he actually said he would visit her. What a poor excuse, and how stupid he is!"
Sally touched her face and got surprised that it was very hot.
Half an hour later, Jasper, as expected, walked into Hazel's ward.
When he saw Hazel, he was shocked.
'It's Hazel! Is she hospitalized? Why doesn't Lucas guard her?"
When Jasper was shocked, he focused on Bradley, who was sleeping near the bed.
Who was this man?
"Shush! They are resting. Don't make a noise, and let's talk outside."
Sally led Jasper to the corridor.
The corridor was quiet.
"Is your cousin alright?"
Sally yawned and asked.
Seeing the dark circles under Sally's eyes, Jasper couldn't help worrying about her. He nodded,
"She's OK. Her baby is lost, but she has been out of danger. Who is the man guarding Hazel?"
"He's Hazel's friend."
"Why didn't you notify Lucas of this?"
"Mr. Lee? Hazel and Mr. Lee broke up a long time ago."
"But Lucas still loves Hazel."
...
Jasper realized that he said too much, and the cold sweat began to run from his forehead.
Therefore, he changed the subject right away.
"It seems we can't sleep this night. What about going to the door for a cup of coffee and getting rid of the chill and sleepiness?"
"No. I'm going to sleep in the classroom tomorrow."
"I'm jealous. I still have to attend Emmett's engagement ceremony tomorrow. I guess I'll keep yawning."
"What did you say?! Who's engaged? Emmett? Is that Emmett Smith?"
Sally frowned and shouted.
(⊙_⊙)
Jasper froze.
He realized he made a mistake.
It was a big mistake!
It was a slip of the tongue. How careless he was!
And Sally was Elaine's good friend....
'Damn it. Emmett is gonna kill me.'
...
Elaine and the others were all sent to an island. That island was surrounded by the sea, and the wind was very strong.
'This scarf is really different from other scarfs, and it is much warmer than them.'
Elaine moved her neck and thought the scarf Mark gave her was great.
The paper was messed up by the wind.
Even the drawing board propped against the rock was swaying in the strong wind.
Jennet, Elaine's desk-mate who always wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses, sneezed.
She also placed an easel beside Elaine, and as she wiped her nose with her sleeve, she said,
"Damn it. The wind here is too strong. Will it blow us into the sea?"
"You hush up. Don’t jinx us."
"Elaine, do you have any tissues? My nose is running."
Elaine took out a box of tissues and handed it to Jennet as she rolled her eyes, saying,
"You deserve it! You didn't even wear clothes in the room, so it is karma!"
Jennet wiped her nose and said sullenly,
"You got the chance to watch my naked body. How lucky you are!"
"I'm not lucky at all. I would rather I hadn't watched it!"
Elaine and Jennet bickered as they drew, and they found it was quite interesting.
In the distance, four men wearing dark glasses were watching them while wandering at random.
...
Farther away, there was a happy couple fishing. It seemed they enjoyed their leisure time very much.
Jennet lifted her phone high in the air and glanced at the screen, sighing,
"What's the deal with this place? It is too strange. There's no Internet connection in the hotel. What's worse, I've been out of cell range for the whole day. It's so annoying and boring."
It seemed this place was isolated from the rest of the world.
They didn't know that it took Tianyi Group a lot of money to cut them off from the outside world.
Elaine tilted her head and looked at the lighthouse in the distance, saying, "We don't need the Internet. After all, we only stay here for a few days. Why not draw and enjoy the scenery?"
Jennet waved her thick arms towards the sky and wailed,
"We've been left behind in the world!"
...
There were big crowds at the River International Hotel.
All the media and reporters rushed here.
What an exciting moment!
Last night, there was no news at all, but this morning, at eight o'clock, all the reporters got news that Emmett Smith, who was both the director of the Tianyi Group and the young master of the ZH Clan, would have an engagement ceremony at the River International Hotel.
It was a special engagement because Emmett would get engaged to two women at the same time!
What a grand ceremony!
Those reporters couldn't take a helicopter to the River International Hotel enough.
The road in the suburbs was full of traffic.
River International Hotel was located on the hillside, facing the sea and the mountain. Only a great family like the Smiths could afford to have a ceremony at this high-level resort hotel.
"What's wrong with you guys? Do you know how to drive? How could you hit our car?"
The reporters and driver of the City Daily got out of their car. Looking at the butt of their car, they pointed at the car behind them and shouted.
That car didn't stop. It turned sideways and passed their car.
...
A girl poked her head from the car window and gave a lascivious smile,
"City Daily, you must be the last one! This time, our Mountain Times is going to take the lead! Goodbye!"
People of the City Daily were all stunned.
Holy crap! They didn't expect the reporters of the Mountain Times, the old rival of the City Daily, should hit their car to take the lead in reporting. How despicable!
The news that Emmett would get engaged to two women was so shocking that nobody wanted to miss it!
When it was nine o'clock, the engagement ceremony officially began!
The European-style villas in the River Hotel were also decorated with the new ribbons, and a long red carpet was paved.
On the green grass, there were clusters of pure white flowers, flower arches, and the champagne tower that was put up to set a mood.
Outside a red line, there were a large number of reporters.
All of them tried their best to find a good place, put up their cameras, and focused on the engagement ceremony a hundred meters away.
They also complained that they were allowed to photograph so far away from the ceremony.
Not only that, people of the ZH Clan also asked them for their phone numbers and addresses one by one so that the ZH Clan could reach them later.
Suddenly, everyone heard the firework.
Countless fireworks soared into the sky, and ribbons fluttered everywhere.
With the music and applause of the guests, Emmett appeared with two beauties.
Marina, a beautiful woman, and Juliana, a sexy woman, were like two bright pearls shining on both sides of Emmett.
However, Emmett was so handsome that his brilliance completely dwarfed the two dressed women.
Both Marina and Juliana laughed happily and proudly, and they were very charming.
However, Emmett's face was dark, and he didn't look happy at all.
He looked cold and sharp.
The noise of the camera sounded in the hall.
The staff began to take pictures and video the ceremony.
Atwood, who had sat in the VIP seats, stood up happily and applauded when he saw his son and his daughters-in-law walk to him on the red carpet.
Everyone noticed that Atwood's eyes were filled with joy.
They were all from wealthy families, so they knew that in a family like the Smiths, an engagement ceremony was equal to a wedding. A man marrying two women like Emmett represented his powerful family.
...
Although Emmett's clothes didn't look extravagant, those who were experts in clothes could tell at a glance that Emmett's clothes were made by an internationally renowned artisan workshop. There were very few people in the world who could have their clothes made in that workshop.
As for Juliana's and Marina's wedding gowns, it could be told from the styles that they were designed by internationally famous designers.
A great family like the Smiths was truly wealthy.
"How handsome Emmett is! It's truly shocking! He is so good-looking that he is very easy on the eyes!"
"Of course. He takes after his mother. His mother was a great beauty. She even entered and won the Miss World Contest of the year."
"I have never seen such a perfect and outstanding man in the world. I can't help loving him."
A few women gathered and said in admiration.
Some young ladies who saw Emmett for the first time almost fainted.
There were even some young women who swore that they would try their best to be Emmett's mistresses.
"Distinguished guests, it is a joyous day today. We witness the great moment when Mr. Emmett Smith gets engaged to Miss Juliana and Miss Marina! First, let's give it up for Mr. Atwood Smith to make a speech!"
A famous host of the Central Committee's TV station was invited here, which also showed the power of the First Smiths.
Atwood walked to the front of the microphone amidst the earth-shattering applause. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
He wore a sharp and black suit. As he walked, he still looked vigorous and fearsome.
After all, he was a big name in his time!
"My son is engaged. I don't have much to say. I wish them a happy life. And I hope they could make the Smiths stronger!"
When Atwood said "make the Smiths stronger", he raised his arm with great dignity. And then the guests applauded again.
