Seeing that Charlie was quite calm with no sign of jealousy, Chad took a sip of water and said, “Olivia is often praised for being insightful.”
“I seriously doubt it.”
He didn’t say anything.
The waiter began to serve dishes one after another, including a bottle of expensive white wine.
She opened the wine, poured herself a glass, and poured another one for him.
He didn’t drink while she drank two glasses within a short time.
Seeing that she was about to refill the glass, he reminded her, “Don’t drink too much.”
“Mind your own business.”
She replied bluntly and filled herself up again.
As she was about to drink it, he teased with a smug face, “Are you jealous that I have a girlfriend?”
She paused as if she had heard some joke. “Jealous? Are you kidding? You wish!”
“Then why are you drinking so much wine all of a sudden?”
“I’ve thought about something unpleasant, okay?”
“You’re definitely jealous.”
“I’m not!”
“You are!”
Her lips twitched, and she put the glass on the table. “Fine, I’ll stop drinking, okay?”
He raised his eyebrows and smiled. Seeing her looking over, he quickly stopped smiling and sighed. “I thought you still had feelings for me!”
“Nonsense!”
In order to save time, Imogen and the others didn’t return to the hotel. They grabbed something to eat and then rushed to the next filming set.
Having walked for the whole day, she was exhausted with sore feet.
Troy had carried her on his back in the middle of the journey, but she barely felt any better.
When she finally returned to the hotel, she threw herself on the sofa and lay there without moving.
Charlie had been back in the hotel directly after lunch. She took a walk in the nearby blocks and came back after a rest in the hotel.
Seeing Imogen and Alex extremely tired, she ordered takeout for four.
By the time the takeaway arrived, Imogen had recharged. She asked Charlie, “How was the lunch. that you had with Chad? Did he do anything out of line?”
She shook her head and said, “No.”
“But you seem a little unhappy.”
“No, I’m not! I’m totally fine!” She immediately denied her.
She just felt annoyed that Chad had already got a girlfriend and still came to flirt with her as if he wanted to make up with her.

What a scumbag!
How could she have fallen in love with someone like him before?
On the afternoon of the second day, everyone returned to New York City. After getting off the highway, Imogen separated from Yohan and the others.
Caleb drove directly to the airport.
This morning, he received a call from Yohan’s father, who demanded that Yohan return to Jubilian City immediately.
Yohan instantly understood the purpose of his father.
An hour later, he got on the plane flying to Jubilian City.
The plane arrived at the airport two hours later. There was already a driver waiting for him. He took a car to Harrington villa as soon as he got off the plane.
The house was not old. It was a small exotic building located in the center of Jubilian City and was priceless due to its location.
He got out of the car in the yard and strode into the living room.
Mike Harrington was sitting on the carpet playing with toy bricks. When he saw him, he suddenly became reserved. He stood up from the ground and said, “Yohan.”
Mike wasn’t born until their father was fifty years old, so he was much younger than Yohan. They hadn’t spent much time together, and their mothers weren’t the same woman, so he had always feared Yohan. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Yohan nodded as to greet him. He took off his coat, hung it on the hanger, and put on his slippers. “Where’s dad?”
“In the study.” He pointed upstairs.
Yohan went straight to the door of the study on the second floor and knocked on the door.
A deep and stern voice came from inside. “Come in.”
He pushed the door open and entered. “Dad, are you looking for me?”
His father, Walter Harrington, was over sixty years old. He was quite strong and energetic before he got seriously ill a few years ago. The illness had made him weaker than before, but he still had an aura of authority with his stern face and sharp eyes.
Looking similar to Yohan, he obviously used to be a handsome man when he was young.
“I heard that you have been in New York City recently?” Walter said in a deep voice.
“Yes.”
“What were you doing there?”
He paused, raised his eyes to look at him, and said, “Don’t you already know? Otherwise, why would you call me back?”
Walter stopped being implicit and directly said, “Just work well on the projects that have been snatched over. You come back to Jubilian City immediately and stop your competition with Marshall Group.”
He smiled and said, “Dad, I am not competing with them. I am conducting business activities strictly in accordance with the company’s future development plan. The development plan may

have conflicted with the one of Marshall Group. You’ve mistaken it.”
Walter also smiled. “Future development plan? Do you think I am too old to understand things? Are you going to fool me now?”
“No.” He immediately denied what he had said.
“Then stay in Jubilian City. I handed over Harrington Group to you with the hope of it prospering under your leadership, not becoming a tool for you to take revenge. I don’t want you to put it in danger!”
He suddenly smiled. “Put it in danger? Are you worried about Harrington Group or Troy and his mother? Only you know it the best!”
Walter was taken aback. He said, “I’m, of course, worried about Harrington Group!”
He sneered, obviously not believing his words. “If so, you should be more relaxed because I’m trying my best to make it flourish.”
Walter looked at him seriously. “New York City is quite far from Jubilian City, and it is not where Harrington Group aims to develop. What’s the point of you doing this? You are my eldest son, and I’ve raised you. I hope you can promote Harrington Group instead of wasting time on such things.”
“I am now promoting it, but you are leaning towards them!”
He was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly raised his eyes and said, “You haven’t seen him yourself, have you? I have. He is indeed your biological son, looking like you a lot, instead of anyone in the Marshall family…”
Walter was stunned.
He had never met Troy in person. He’d only occasionally seen him in the financial news. He was proud to see him so outstanding. He had even imagined how much more outstanding he would be if he’d stayed in their family and been raised by himself.
Seeing Walter’s expression, he smiled mockingly and said, “It’s a pity that he still has no idea of his real identity, still believing that Thomas was his father.”
Having lived for more than sixty years, Walter could manage to switch his emotions quickly.
He looked at Yohan sternly and said, “That’s it. Now is not the time to deal with Marshall Group. You have just sat in the chair lately. Acting so aggressively, you will end up badly sooner or later. Don’t go to New York City anymore. You hear me?!”
Yohan replied firmly, “Impossible.”
Completely irritated, Walter was about to retort when he turned around and left. “Dad, if there’s nothing else to talk about, I’ll leave now!”
Walter furiously yelled, “Come back here!”
