In A city.
Pax Bar, in a private room on the basement floor for gold Card members only.
The coquette man pushed the door open and went in. He took half of the cigarette on his finger and put it in the ashtray. He said to the man on the left with a smile, "Hey, Mr. Merritt, guess who I just saw?"
Jacob Merritt glanced at him with his good-looking eyes. He threw a mahjong tile on the table and said casually, "Did your sweetheart seduce a man behind your back?"
"Humph, how dare she?!" The coquette man raised his eyebrows confidently, and then said with a cheeky smile, "I just saw Diane Allen."
Jacob frowned and thought, "Diane? Why does this name sound so familiar?"
The man sitting opposite him opened his eyes wide in surprise and said, "Yo, isn't this Jacob's fiancee? Go, go, go. Let's go to see what kind of extraordinary woman she is, who is lucky enough to become our Mrs. Merritt!"
As soon as the man finished speaking, all five or six men around the mahjong table became interested and urged Jacob to go outside.
Jacob had just come back from abroad a few days ago. In fact, he was also curious about his fiancée, whom he had never met.
As a result, a group of people left the private room in a big way.
...
In the southwest corner of the bar, Bailey Allen ordered a glass of whiskey and leaned lazily on the dark purple sofa.
From time to time, there would be men who came to chat with her. She always smiled lightly and ignored people, so people left without interest.
Diane shook the red wine glass, looked at Bailey on the opposite side and said scornfully, "Sister, you're not young anymore. I'm going to get married. Why aren't you worried?"
Bailey looked at Diane with a smile in her eyes and said, "It's better not to marry a jerk. I heard that the young master of the Merritt family is not a long-term lover. If you have time to show off to me, you'd better find a private detective to investigate for you who the woman is now..."
Jacob and a group of people had just sat down not far from Allen sisters, and Bailey's words full of dislike had come into the ears of the group of people.
In the eyes of a group of friends, Jacob's face suddenly became dark.
"Jerk?"
That woman dared to say that Jacob was a jerk?
He narrowed his eyes slightly and turned his body to look at the woman who had dared to offend him.
At first glance, he was a little surprised. That woman was much more beautiful than his fiancee Diane. She was dressed in a neat black business suit, with straight hair hanging over her shoulders, and her slightly upturned eyebrows were tinged with charming charm.
A woman who didn't take him seriously and was very beautiful undoubtedly aroused Jacob's curiosity.
"Big sister, I know that you are jealous, but what kind of person Jacob is has nothing to do with you. He is just your brother-in-law. You, you should find a man who likes you quickly, lest you wouldn't get married in the future, and you will bring shame to our family!"
Diane took a sip of red wine and provoked Bailey with a smile.
Bailey shrugged, took a sip of wine, and said with a chuckle, "Yes, I'm jealous of you. Your future husband has already found so many sisters to serve him before he gets married. You don't have to work too hard in the future. What a considerate husband. It's hard to find one like this!"
Diane gritted her teeth and glared at Bailey. She was so angry!
Bailey lazily raised her hand to take a look at the watch on her wrist and said lightly, "It's not easy for your mother to connect you with the Merritt family. Keep it down. Which of those things you've done can you show to anyone?"
Bailey left with her bag in her hand, while Diane could only stare at her back.
There was an angry voice in her heart, "Sure enough, what kind of mother she is and what kind of daughter she is. Bailey, you're as annoying as your mother!"
Not far away, Jacob rubbed his chin and looked at Bailey's distant back with great interest. He asked someone next to him, "Who is that?"
