Chapter 407
That hand was not Jason’s.
Angie was shocked. She looked up and saw Jeremy’s cold face
looking down at her. His sudden oppressive appearance caused her to instinctively back away.
“M-Mister Jeremy!”
Jeremy calmly opened the shopping bag and looked at the clothes inside. They were indeed new since the tags were still
on them.
‘I guess they’ll work in a pinch.”
Jason looked at Jeremy and smiled. “Jeremy, you’re finally here.”
Jeremy nodded at him and said unsmilingly, “Yeah. Where’s my wife?”
“She’s inside and completely drenched. I was worried that she might get sick so I brought her to the guest room to dry off.”
“In any case, thank you.”
Jeremy narrowed his eyes and continued, “However, you shouldn’t simply bring another man’s wife into a room next time. Your
kindness is more trouble than it’s worth.”
Jason’s smile froze on his face but then he gave a quick chuckle. “Jeremy, I was left with no choice but to do that. She looked
like a pitiful wet puppy walking around like that. Besides, I wouldn’t have needed to do that if you didn’t choose to attend to your
savior instead of your wife. Don’t you think
so?”
Jeremy’s eyes darkened and after two seconds of silence, he finally spoke, “Our relationship isn’t something you should
comment about. Not when you don’t have any idea what’s really going on behind the scenes.”
Jason shrugged. “Fine. It’s my fault for being nosy then.”
Jeremy did not say anything else. Instead, he took off the expensive watch on his wrist and gave it to Angie.
“I don’t have much cash on me right now so please accept this watch as payment for the clothes. The watch probably costs more
than the clothes but if you don’t think it’s enough,
please come to Holden Group tomorrow and my assistant will sign you a check.”
After that, he turned around and went into the guest room that Corinne was in.
Angie looked at the watch Jeremy gave her in a dumbstruck manner. Not only was the watch from Rolex, but it was from the
brand’s 100th Anniversary limited edition lineup. The watch definitely cost more than the clothes she gave Corinne. In fact, she
would need to work a hundred lifetimes to be able
to afford a watch like that.
The watch was just too expensive for her to accept. Overwhelmed, she looked anxiously at Jason and stammered, Mister Jason,
this watch... Mister Jeremy...”
Jason was pulled back to reality and he replied absent- mindedly, “Just take it. That watch will go up in value in the future, so if
you don’t like it, you can sell it then and buy yourself some new clothes.”

Angie examined the watch curiously. “Mister Jason, your lady friend who fell into the pond... Is she Mister Jeremy’s wife?”
“Yeah.”
“I heard he married a very ordinary woman, but that’s what I don’t understand. How did an ordinary woman catch his attention so
much that he’s willing to give me this expensive watch so that she would have something to change into?”
“Oh, she’s not ordinary at all,” replied Jason with a meaningful smile.
Angie was stunned. She looked at Jason with a puzzled expression on her face.
‘Mister Jason doesn’t seem like his usual self today. His eyes... They seem to be shining with excitement instead of indifference
