Chapter 45 Burton''s Reaction


    Chapter 45 Burton''s Reaction


    Jacquelyn couldn''t believe that Rejo would actually lose her temper. "What''s there to criticize about someone like Elvis? He has outstanding


    character,es from a prestigious family, and is someone you can be proud of. He''s not some spoiled rich kid living off his family''s wealth. What''s


    there for you to be dissatisfied with? You should be grateful because he wants to be with you!"


    "It''s strange because he wants to be with me. Be honest with yourself. What do I have that made Elvis fall in love with me at first sight and


    immediately want to get engaged to me? And the Sterling family was eager to agree to the engagement. right? There must be a problem!"


    However, Jacquelyn was ecstatic because of the great news and didn''t listen to Rejo''s analysis at all. "This matter has been settled. You don''t


    have to care much about it. I will arrange the grandest engagement ceremony for you and let those snobbish people in the Sterling family know that


    my Joy is the luckiest. Humph, Ingrid and Hiry are the daughters of the Sterling family, but so what? It doesn''t mean they''ll have a better husband


    than you. Let''s see if they still dare to give you attitude!”


    Although Jacquelyn always advised Rejo to endure it, she was also very angry. She had long resented Nick''s family because they made things


    difficult for Rejo again and again. Besides, she had be Mrs. Sterling, but they didn''t respect her at all.


    Rejo scratched her hair. Why couldn''t she get through to Jacquelyn? Her focus was on Elvis, not the women in the Sterling family. Was Jacquelyn


    doing this on purpose?


    Rejo was about to speak again when Jacquelyn grabbed her wrist and dragged her inside.


    The living room was brightly lit. and the members of the Sterling family were all there. As soon as Rejo entered, she felt waves of resentment from


    Ingrid and Hiry. But that wasn''t the main issue. The main issue was her engagement to Elvis. Rejo voiced her thoughts in front of Burton before


    Jacquelyn could speak. "Mr. Sterling. Mr. LimBurton and I just met. We''re not even friends, let alone get engaged. I hope you can convey my


    gratitude to Mr. LimBurton, but we''re not suitable for each other. I hope he can be with someone who loves him in the future. I won''t waste his time!"


    After Rejo finished speaking. she breathed a sigh of relief. The underlying hostility toward her dissipated. She secretly nced at Jason, who was.


    next to Burton. Rejo felt miserable. When other women were pursued by someone else, their boyfriends would be jealous and nervous, and treat


    them even better. But she had to take the initiative to reassure Jason, lest he would strangle her to death. Of course, she and Jason were not ina


    rtionship. Forget it. She stopped thinking about it. Now the main issue was Elvis.


    After Rejo said that. Ingrid was slightly surprised, and Hiry''s reaction was even more direct. For the first time, she smiled at Rejo. "Miss Lynn,


    are you telling the truth or just ying hard to get?"


    Humph, even if Rejo was ying hard to get, Hiry would give her no way out and force her to publicly admit that she wouldn''t be with Elvis.


    Rejo was eager for someone to ask. She immediately said, "Of course not. I swear I..."


    “Alright, Jacquelyn, take Joy back. She’s probably too happy after hearing the news and hasn''t fully processed it yet. You can all leave now!"


    Just as Rejo was about to swear, Burton suddenly interrupted her. Rejo frowned as Jacquelyn pulled her away. “Oh dear, Joy is just being shy.


    She''s naturally thin-skinned. I''ll exin everything to her!"


    Jacquelyn dragged Rejo to the second floor and pushed her into her room, locking the door. "Rejo, are you trying to kill me? How could you say


    that in front of the Sterling family? Thank goodness Burton interrupted you, or you would have been embarrassed!"


    "I was telling the truth. I don''t like Elvis!”


    “Enough, I don''t want to hear it!" In Jacquelyn’s opinion, it didn''t matter whether Rejo liked Elvis or not. Elvis was the son of the LimBurton family,


    and that was enough. "I''m warning you, Rejo. Don''t mess this up for me. Just wait for the engagement!”


    Rejo pouted. Jacquelyn was too excited. Even if she died now, Jacquelyn would make sure she married into the LimBurton family and then die.


    That was why Rejo didn''t tell Jacquelyn about her rtionship with Jason. If Jacquelyn found out, Jacquelyn would do anything to let Jason be


    with her.


    When Rejo fell silent, Jacquelyn thought it was because she had convinced Rejo. She talked excitedly about the uing engagement, and


    she would tell her friends the good news. How dare theyugh at her for marrying an old man behind her back! Could their sugar daddies marry their


    daughters into a family like the LimBurton family?


    After Jacquelyn left, Joana popped her head in and asked, "Joy, what''s going on? How did something so big happen when I was gone for just one


    day? Who is Elvis? Does Jason know about this? Oh, he has known about it? I mean. is he not against it?”


    Rejoy on the couch and rolled her eyes helplessly. "Didn''t you hear that? I said I didn''t agree, but no one listened to me!"


    Joana was also in the living roam at that time and knew that Rejo didn''t want to get married. She poked Rejo''s arm and asked, "Are you really


    unwilling? ording to Mom, Elvis is the perfect option. What are you not satisfied with?”


    "I have no feelings for him, and it all feels strange. Do you believe that a man would want to get engaged with you after meeting you just once?"


    Joana tilted her head and said, "What''s so strange about it? He fell in love with you at first sight. It''smon in movies!"


    Rejo gave upmunicating with Joana and waved her hand weakly. "Just leave. I need some peace and quiet. Oh, and don''t forget to lock the


    door!"


    “Don''t worry. I put a pot of paste and stinky herbal essential oil at the door!" Rejo had discussed it with Joana on WhatsApp during the day, and


    Joana immediately came up with the idea. When Rejo heard Joana mention the stinky herb, she had an idea, walked to Joana with a thick face,


    and said, "Joana, can you give me some of that stinky herb oil too?”


    Joana thought she also wanted to use it against Ingrid and others, so she agreed immediately. "Wait, I''ll go get it for you.”


    So when Jason arrived at Rejo’s room, he was hit by a strong smell that almost made him vomit. "Rejo, what are you doing? Why does it smell


    so bad?"


    "Oh, I identally spilled some essential oil. Who knew it would smell like this?" Rejo stuffed two tissues into her nostrils, regretting her decision to


    use this trick to disgust Jason. She didn''t know how he was reacting, but she knew she was feeling nauseous.


    She was feeling dizzy and almost fainted from the smell.


    After listening to Rejo''s exnation, Jason was about to curse, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he smelled a foul smell, causing him to cover


    his mouth and re at Rejo before turning around and running away in embarrassment.


    Rejo sniffled and suddenly felt


    refreshed. She held the small ss


    bottle that was-as ong as her index


    finger and lgeked at the remaining .


    half bottle-ef ck liquid inside. Sie


    didn’ find the smell bad anymore:


    Anyway, her sense of smell had


    already malfunctioned. It was useful


    xt


    because it could scare away the


    pervert, Jason. By the way, maybe


    she could use it on Elvis. Rejo


    yawned, turned over, and buried her


    head in the nket, falling asleep in


    the stinky room.


    Jason went straight to the bathroom when he returned to his room, washing himself twice beforeing out. He sniffed hard but always felt like there


    was still a stench on his body. He was so angry that he threw away his bathrobe and went back into the bathroom. Soon, the sound of the running


    water could be heard, apanied by Jason''s low curse. "D*mn it, Rejo..."


    After a peaceful night''s sleep. Rejo was awakened by her rm clock the next morning. Since she slept with the windows open, the smell in the


    room had dissipated. Rubbing her eyes and staring at the clock on the wall for a moment, she suddenly jumped out of bed and rushed to the


    bathroom. She had to go to work today and didn''t want to bete!


    Originally, her father left her an old house in the city center, which was close to her workce, so Rejo set her rm clock based on her original


    route. But the problem was that the old house of the Sterling family was not in that area!


    Oh no, this was already the third time. Beingte three times would result in a deduction of her bonus. How should she repay her credit card?


    Quickly changing her clothes and


    washing up, Rejo rushed


    downstairs, creating a gust of cool


    wind thatade everyone step aside.


    Jason was originally waiting for


    ejo but when he smelled the


    foulsmell that had troubled Aim all


    igkt, he silently moved baek and hid


    béhind a one-meter-tall indoor


    potted nt, not letting Rejo see


    him. What if Rejo wanted to hitch


    a ride with him?


    eS)


    SJ


    Indeed, Rejo didn''t see Jason.


    She hurriedly ran downstairs and


    searched in tfie yard, finding a bike


    that she had-bought with Joana a ~


    couple of days ago. She mounted st


    and peda ed with all her mi ht. Both


    of them had to go to work, and the


    Sterling family couldn''t havesa driver


    piok them up every day. The nearest


    subway station from the old house


    of the Sterling family was a distance


    away, So buying a bike was the most


    convenient way.

    When Rejo finally arrived at thepany after struggling through the morning rush hour on the subway, five minutes had already passed since her


    work time.


    "Oh my god, five minutes! If I had known, I wouldn''t have pushed myself so hard!" Rejo moaned, panting heavily as she leaned on her desk.


    "Rejol"From N?velDrama.Org.


    A rigid and severe voice sounded, and Rejo immediately stood up straight. "Ms. Yvett, I. I really didn''t mean to bete. I just moved to a new ce,


    which is far fram thepany. I didn''t calcte the time properly. I promise I won''t bete again!"


    As she spoke, she observed Molly, thepany’s finance director. Molly usually wore ck or dark gray suits. Today was no exception. She was


    wearing a ck suit. Her hair was neatly tied at the back of her head, and she wore ck-framed sses as she looked down at Rejo from above.


    The scrutiny in her eyes made Rejo uneasy. "You don''t need toe here anymore!" Then she moved.
