Chapter 101 Jefferson Cooperates with the Gibson Family

Suddenly, everyone in the car fell silent.

Brice was too astonished to say anything, while Elianna was so shaken that she couldn't find her voice.

The Gibson family...

Jefferson was planning to collaborate with the Gibson family.

For such a large scale cooperation, it was inevitable that those in power would need to negotiate.

Did this mean he was coming to Oakpool?

Elianna struggled to suppress her panic and held her breath as she anxiously awaited Mr. Brice's response.

As Brice gradually calmed himself down, he muttered a curse, "That rascal."

Ever since Mr. Brice cursed Jefferson, Asher had been feeling nervous and frightened. He had been hesitating for a long while before he cautiously spoke up.

"Grandpa, what should I do next?"

"You? What you've done is pretty much all you can do."

"Why?"

Asher was puzzled.

Mr. Brice sneered, "Do you really think you can deceive Jefferson?"

"But Jeff didn't say anything."

"Of course he wouldn't say anything! Because that rascal clearly thinks he has got the support of the Gibson family!"

Asher dared not say anything more.

Hearing this, Elianna also understood what was going on.

If he did, would he discover her real identity?

These thoughts raced through her mind, and she hadn't paid any attention to where Asher was driving.

She didn't realize they weren't heading home until the car came to an abrupt stop. They had arrived at a fancy exotic restaurant instead.

Elianna was in a bad mood and asked impatiently, "Why did you bring me here?"

Though Asher would be irritated by her sharp words, he held back his anger.

"You helped me today, so I thought I'd treat you to dinner."

Moreover, he also wanted to express his remorse for suspecting Elianna.

Grandpa had just told him that he couldn't hide his every move from Jeff.

Therefore, Jeff must say those words to make fun of him.

Thinking about how Elianna had put herself at risk to help him, he felt a sense of guilt deep within him for suspecting her of having an affair with Jeff.

He never had such kind of feeling before, which prompted him to make this decision.

However, Elianna was not excited about the dinner reward. She was not the real Ms. Gentry, so she had no interest in Asher or his dinner invitation.

"I'm tired. I want to go back. You can eat on your own."

With these words, Elianna was about to get out of the car.

Yet, she just unfastened her seat belt, and her arm was grasped by him.

"You can't just leave!"

Asher, frustrated by her rejection, said with an unpleasant face, "Elianna, you are crazy about me, but you are playing hard to get. Is this really necessary?"

Elianna was shocked.

Who said she was crazy about him?

She was amused and asked, "How on earth do I make you get that wrong idea, Asher? Please, do tell me, so I can correct it immediately."

Despite her blunt words, yet Asher remained unaffected and even put on a sardonic expression on his face.

"Elianna, can't you be a bit more mature? You know well what you've done. Do I have to spell it out for you?"

"Yes, please go ahead."
