Don't Fall For Me, CEO-Chapter 1029: Numerous Enemies

But the cup was scorching hot, and Jennings spilled the coffee the moment he took it.

"Hiss, it’s so hot! Damn it, you did it on purpose!"

Although he felt that Susan Carter’s gaze just now was unfriendly, Jennings wasn’t someone who would take things lying down.

Suddenly getting burned, it would be strange if he could swallow that anger.

But July Quinn said, "If you don’t leave now, you can play by yourself today."

Of course, Jennings understood what July Quinn meant.

If he stayed here now arguing with a receptionist, she wouldn’t go to the Marsden Estate party today, and he could forget about coveting her beauty.

Jennings was still resentful, but in order to gain Beauty Michelle’s favor, he had already put in a lot of effort.

If he didn’t get some return now, he’d be uneasy for the rest of his life.

So Jennings could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger.

However, when leaving the private club with Beauty Michelle, Jennings had already started planning how to humiliate Susan Carter when he saw him next and trample his dignity underfoot.

In the blink of an eye, Jennings arrived at the Marsden Estate with July Quinn.

It was obvious that today was an important day for the Marsden Estate, as the whole place was adorned with decorations.

Many dignitaries were invited, and there were several rows of luxury cars parked at the estate’s entrance.

But without exception, everyone entering the estate still had to go through layers of security checks.

"Ma’am, please come over for the security check."

July Quinn was displeased, glancing at Jennings, "I have to cooperate with a security check?"

"It’s the estate’s rule. So..." Jennings didn’t finish the sentence, but the way he shrugged showed he was being cowardly.

Luckily, July Quinn had also made some preparations.

So, she confidently cooperated with the inspection.

After completing the check, she disdainfully brushed off Jennings’s attempt to hold her hand.

"It seems your family has quite a few enemies."

"Not particularly many." Jennings smiled.

The Marsden Family was quite aggressive in their business dealings, so they had offended many people.

Moreover, there was a precedent where a member of the Marsden Family had been assassinated in the estate in earlier years, so they had to be cautious about that.

Especially when there were more people, the security checks were stricter.

"But have you offended the big families too? I see quite a few of Desrozin City’s aristocratic families you invited today, so I wouldn’t think you’d need to be so heavily guarded."

July Quinn glanced towards those luxury cars in the distance.

Unlike at home, people in Desrozin City valued bloodlines and surnames greatly.

So when most aristocratic families went out, their cars would bear the family crest.

July Quinn looked around roughly and saw that the Marsden Family had invited almost all of the top ten aristocratic families of Desrozin City today.

"We just don’t get along well with The Kane Group and The Klein Family."

Perhaps truly seeing the beauty beside him as merely a tea girl not worth fearing, Jennings didn’t hide anything.

"The Kane Group? Oh my, isn’t that the top financial group in Desrozin City?"

Although July Quinn had just arrived in Desrozin City not long ago, she had heard about The Kane Group.

It’s said that the combined assets of the top five financial groups in Desrozin City might not even match The Kane Group.

So, The Kane Group is undoubtedly the overlord of Desrozin City, the kind that most families would defer to by three points.

"Looks like I really shouldn’t attend this party. I don’t want to lose my life in the entanglements of you top financial groups."

Saying that, July Quinn pretended to leave.

Jennings hastily pulled her back.
