Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 744

Jimmy didn't expect Sharon to be so interested in the gossip. If Stanley were to find out about him telling Sharon these, Stanley would definitely get angry at him.

To Jimmy's surprise, Ariah also grew interested. "Wow, Howard has such an interesting past? Haha!"

Seeing how the ladies were into this, he was speechless.

Meanwhile, Sharon added, "I think Howard does look a little too good looking. If he were to dress like a woman, he could be even more attractive than most of us women."

Once again, Jimmy had nothing to say.

Then, Ariah pulled Sharon over and the two of them started chatting.

"I can't believe Howard had drawn the attention of another man before!"

"I'm not too surprised though since he's very goodlooking."

Jimmy could not bear it any longer. "Enough!"

Ariah still wanted to say something, but Jimmy covered her mouth. "Oh please, can't you girls

lower your voice? If Howard hears this, he's gonna get enraged!"

This was the past that Howard never wanted to be reminded of. He would get into a fit of anger no matter who brought it up.

"Alright, let go of your hand. I won't gossip about this anymore. But first, can you tell us what happened after Jakub was beaten up?"

With a helpless look, Jimmy replied, "Nothing happened! Jakub can't revenge on Howard because Howard's grandfather is very powerful. So even if the King Family is angry, they can only turn a blind eye on that."

On the other side, Howard grabbed Elaine, who was about to run over to Jakub, and demanded, "What are you doing?"

Elaine struggled. "Mr. Perkins, let go of me! It hurts."

However, Howard pulled her to a corner and glared at her. "Don't go to Jakub's side. You could get into trouble!"

Saying so, he frowned at the apron that she was wearing. "Why are you wearing that?"

"Well, those kind helpers in the kitchen were worried that I'd stain my clothes, so they lend me an apron."

When Howard heard that, he had a sense that perhaps someone like her was born to serve others. Still, he reminded her, "Do you know that you're a guest today?"

"I know, but I'm bored..."

"Don't do the servants' work even if you're bored!" he reprimanded her.

A little shocked, she then put the plates in her hand aside and said awkwardly, "Sorry, Mr. Perkins. Have I embarrassed you?"

Since she was drooping her head, Howard didn't notice the look of inferiority in her eyes. He just rubbed his eyebrows and ordered, "Take off your apron and stay away from that side. Go find Sharon and the rest."

With a nod, she took off her apron obediently.

"Don't go over to that side. Do you understand?" Howard reminded her once again.

Seeing that he repeated that several times, Elaine grew a little curious. "What's wrong? Why can't I go there?"

"There's a bad guy over there."

"What?"

Snorting, Howard pulled her over and pointed at Jakub. "Do you see that man? Although he's well- dressed, he's actually a pervert and likes to toy with women. If you show up in front of him, he's gonna get interested in you!"

Without noticing it, he had already taken Elaine into his arms in a protective manner.

Meanwhile, Elaine was shocked at his warning, and her face turned pallid. She quickly promised, "Mr. Perkins, don't worry. I'll definitely stay away from that man. Now, I'll go find Sharon."

Hearing that, only then did Howard curled his lips into a smile. "Good."

In the meantime, Jakub was being reprimanded by his uncle, Jackson. Although Jackson wasn't much older than him, he was still quite scared of him, especially his experienced, fierce gaze. He couldn't look his uncle in the eyes at all.

"Your mother said that you've been staying outside lately. Is that true?"

Hearing his uncle's voice ringing out above him, Jakub quickly stood up and replied, "I... I'll go back home tonight."

"Good." Jackson nodded his head lightly. "Your mother is getting old now and she's at risk of having a heart attack, so don't make her angry."

"Yes, I know."

Seeing that Jackson was quite satisfied with his answer, Jakub hurriedly said, "Uncle, I'll go first."

However, Jackson didn't reply and just stared at him with a deep gaze, to which he could feel his scalp getting numb. Just when he couldn't hold on any longer, Jackson finally asked, "Also, I heard that you're seeing someone new?"

Jakub was shocked. Sure enough, his mother must have sent his uncle to warn him.

"And it's someone working in the entertainment industry?"

Immediately, Jakub explained, "She has just entered the industry, so her background is still quite clean. It's not like what you think, uncle."

"Oh? What am I thinking?" Jackson wore a faint smile.

Jakub had never seen his uncle smile in this way, which was weird. With a pause, he then continued, "Rosie hasn't worked in the entertainment industry long yet. Her background is still clean. If we marry in the future, she will definitely quit the industry. So, uncle, you can rest assured."

Now, Jakub's mother wasn't in charge of the King Family anymore. It was his uncle. Therefore, as long as he persuaded his uncle to accept his new girlfriend, then his mother would agree too.

"What's your new girlfriend's name?"

"Rosie Patel." Then, realizing that his uncle was interested, Jakub wanted to take the opportunity to introduce his girlfriend to his uncle. "Actually, I brought her here today. She was with me just now.

Uncle, do you want to meet her? I'll call her to come over."

Jakub was anxious to introduce the two. So as soon as he finished saying that, he took out his phone to call Rosie, but she didn't answer it.

Instantly, he frowned and muttered to himself, "What's going on? Why isn't she picking up her phone?"

Just then, Jackson's adjutant came looking for him and whispered something, to which he furrowed his brows. "Jakub, I gotta go now. I still have some matters to attend to."

Jakub still wanted to say something, but watching the serious look on his uncle's face, he knew that Jackson must have something urgent to do. So he didn't insist on introducing the two anymore.

After taking a few steps, Jackson suddenly turned around and asked, "Are you serious about the relationship?"

Jakub was taken aback for a moment before he quickly replied, "Yes, I'm very serious. I'll marry her."

"Then find a time to take her home and let your mom meet her. I'll put in a good word for you too."

With his uncle's promise, he knew he had almost gained his family's acceptance, so he responded briskly, "Awesome, will do!"

Then, he realized that his uncle was not as coldblooded as he seemed anymore.

It was not until eight or nine o'clock in the evening that the grand banquet came to an end.

Having drunk a lot today, Stanley smelled of alcohol when Anthony helped him over to Sharon. Instantly, she held the baby in her arms further away and suggested, "Honey, why don't you take

another car back? Anthony can send me and the kids back first." Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Otherwise, they would be drowned by the smell of alcohol from him.

Nevertheless, Stanley said nothing.

He stared at her delicate face for a while before turning around and getting into another car.

In the meantime, Sharon and the children got into a separate car joyfully.
