Chapter 1986: Chapter 1986
Gareth Williams furrowed his long dark eyebrows, his usually gentle and amiable face now tinged with a hint of coldness: "Mr. Wellington, we haven’t finished our conversation, why leave?"
"You haven’t answered my question... I want Miss Brown, can Mr. Wellington bear to part with her? Or, as Miss Brown said, do I have to wait until Mr. Wellington tires of her before I can..."
"Gareth Williams—" Dylan Wellington suddenly spoke, his voice cold and harsh.
"Get one thing straight, Skye Brown is mine. Whether I want her or not, whether I’m tired of her or not, is none of your concern."
"You can’t say that, a gentleman pursues a fair lady. It’s rare for me to be interested in a woman, so naturally, I want to know when this woman will be free. How about this, three million... no, six million, double your offer on top. Give Miss Brown to me, and even if I lose this time, I’ll owe you one."
Gareth Williams rarely showed concession to Dylan Wellington.
Their open and secret struggles have always been irreconcilable.
Even this time, despite knowing that Dylan Wellington brought Skye Brown to deliberately ’tempt’ him.
Yet he did not guard, and willingly took the bait.
It can be said, this kind of behavior was quite unexpected.
Others looked at Skye Brown, although she was indeed more pure and innocent than other enticing women.
Within that purity and softness, there was also a mature woman’s charm.
But to say she was so entrancing that both Mr. Wellington and Mr. Williams were captivated seems a bit much?
Others perplexed, with so many women in the world, could anyone truly enchant these two?
Even if Mr. Williams usually keeps himself well-guarded, rarely involved with women, does it mean Mr. Wellington would too?
Mr. Wellington, renowned for being ’worldly-wise’, people secretly thought, Mr. Wellington certainly wouldn’t take Mr. Williams seriously this time.
Probably even take the opportunity to push this woman toward Mr. Williams, making Mr. Williams owe him a favor.
Who knew, just as everyone was so sure, Dylan Wellington suddenly tightened his grip, and with Skye Brown’s light sound of pain, pulled her into his arms.
With a steel arm tightly circled around Skye Brown’s slender waist, Dylan Wellington said arrogantly: "My woman is my woman, not to mention six million, even sixty million, until I’m tired of her, I won’t let her go. Mr. Williams is talented and handsome, not lacking in women—"
At this point, those chilling seductive eyes glared coldly at the woman behind Gareth Williams — that was Olivia Quinn, the previous woman sent by Dylan Wellington, who was coldly rejected by Gareth Williams.
Every negotiation or dinner was , the female staff or companions Dylan Wellington brought were always able to be enticed by Gareth Williams.
It’s not that Gareth Williams was superior to Dylan Wellington.
It’s because Gareth Williams would let those women believe, compared to the unreliable playboy Mr. Wellington, Mr. Williams was more likely to settle down and ’talk love’ with them.
Because of this belief, every time, Dylan Wellington’s woman would actively be enticed or even succumb.
In contrast, Gareth Williams remained solitary, cold and aloof.
And this time, was the first and only time.
Gareth Williams did not reject the woman beside Dylan Wellington, he actively retained her, and even actively asked Dylan Wellington for her — this was unprecedented.
"Dylan, Wellington..." Gareth Williams suddenly spoke, stopping the man who was about to take Skye Brown away.
Among high society’s rich young men, comparing cars, alcohol, and women, had long been customary.
Gareth Williams squinted his long eyes, saying deeply: "Don’t forget, you’re now engaged to my sister. Mia has already reached the stage of meeting the parents with you... You’re hiding a mistress outside, tell me, as the elder brother, should I inform Mr. Wellington about this?"
He set his sights on Skye Brown, determined to keep her.
Even if men don’t involve themselves with women’s affairs, but now, with such means, Gareth Williams was determined to do it.
He, Gareth Williams — Mia Williams’s elder brother, also the brother of the Miss Williams who previously went out on a date with Dylan Wellington.
Skye Brown’s mind, already engulfed by alcohol, suddenly cleared slightly upon hearing the name ’Mia Williams’. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel-fire.net
Gareth Williams, Mia Williams... So, they are siblings?
Skye Brown, in her daze, suddenly found it all laughably ridiculous — Yes, how could she forget Miss Williams?
Originally thinking she could slowly make Dylan Wellington fall for her, call her back, even foolishly agreeing to Dylan Wellington’s ridiculous ’test’.
But she forgot, Mr. Wellington and Miss Williams are still dating... They are the pair.
Then... what about her?
What about her, Dylan Wellington’s forgotten ex-girlfriend?
What does she count for...
"I, Dylan Wellington don’t need others to teach me how to act, if you want to play the villain snitching behind my back, suit yourself. I’ll say it again, until I’m tired of this woman, you — Gareth Williams, you can only stand by and watch."
After speaking, the man lifted Skye Brown’s chin, and in public, fiercely kissed those lips tainted with alcohol.
He — was asserting his ownership of Skye Brown.
