"Maryanne, don't worry. I will pick you up."
After pacifying Maryanne, Hobart pulled out his wrinkled clothes from her hands and said to Jarvy, "Mr. Tomson, take good care of my sister. If she loses a strand of hair, I'll come for you."
"Don't worry, Hobart!" Jarvy nodded and ordered the driver to drive.
Hobart stood at the door and watched Jarvy's car leave before turning around and entering the house.
As a result, Tony asked, "Hobart, why do I feel like you're so keen on finding a boyfriend for Maryanne?"
Hobart raised his eyebrows. "Dad, what are you trying to say?"
Tony gave him a meaningful look and said, "Don't you know what I'm going to say? Maryanne and Milton are now in a relationship. Aren't you afraid that you will hurt yourself?"
Thinking that the truth of his sister's injury had not been revealed, Hobart played dumb and said, "Dad, you've wronged me. I'm helping Maryanne expand her social circle. I don't have any other intentions."
"Really?" Tony was half-doubted, "Are you sure that you are not against Milton, so you want to create an opportunity for Jarvy when Maryanne and him are arguing?"
Hearing his father's dissatisfaction, Hobart couldn't help but feel aggrieved. "Dad, I know you appreciate Milton, and you've always wanted him to be your son-in-law, but have you ever thought about it? If he's not as good as you think, can you rest assured that Maryanne will be with him in the future?"
"Hobart, what do you mean by that?" asked Tony, his expression turning serious.
"I have no meaning for the time being, as long as everything can return to its original track."
Once things got out of hand, he would not hesitate to reveal all the things that the Milton had done.
At that time, even if Maryanne hated him, he would never let her be with Milton!

On the other side-
In the back seat of the car, Jarvy looked at Maryanne's dress with the light in the car and his eyes narrowed slightly. "Don't you like the dress I gave you?"
Why did everyone have to ask her this question?
Maryanne tried to conceal her feelings in front of her relatives, but when she came to Jarvy, she did not even bother to do so. "Yes, I don't like it. I don't like it at all, from color to decoration"
Being slapped in the face, it was a lie to say that he was not angry. However, because of the desire of men's conquest and the ten million bet, after a moment of anger, he asked politely, "What do you like? I'll buy it for you next time."
Maryanne tilted her head to look at him. Her light makeup and formal attire made her look more like she was going to work rather than going into the showbiz.
"I can buy whatever I want, so I won't bother you, Mr. Tomson."
Jarvy was slightly confused. This was a new side of Maryanne, sacred and inviolable. It was as if whoever touched her minefield would die.
"Maryanne..."
“I'm sorry, Mr. Tomson. Can you stop talking? I didn't have a good rest in the afternoon, so I want to sleep for a while. Wake me up when we're at the press conference. Thank you."
After she said that, Maryanne sat close to the car window, and left a large safe space in between Jarvy. Then, she closed her eyes and completely ignored the eyes and opinions of others.
How capricious!
While Jarvy was dumbfounded, he was even more determined to get hold of Maryanne.
By then, he would have both the money and the person. It would not be a waste for him to hit a wall so many times!
At this point, seeing that Maryanne only wore a white shirt on her upper body, Jarvy thought for a while and then took off his suit jacket.
Coincidentally, the coat he was wearing today was exactly the one he had worn on Maryanne last time. He wondered if she would recognize it when she woke up.
With such a beautiful wish in mind, Jarvy stretched out his body and tried to put the jacket gently on Maryanne.
The moment his collar touched Maryanne's chest, she immediately opened her eyes and slapped the back of his hand!
However, it was interesting!
The harder she was to deal with, the more sense of accomplishment he would have when he won!
Jarvy showed a gentle smile on his face and said, "No, go to sleep."
Hearing that, Maryanne turned her head to the other side and closed her eyes again.
Humph.
If it were not for her brother's sake, she would have slapped Jarvy directly in the face.
*
The place where Jarvy held the press conference was in the exhibition hall of his company.
Maryanne, who pretended to be asleep all the way to avoid talking to Jarvy, immediately opened her eyes the moment the car stopped.
After getting out of the car, Jarvy immediately went to the side of Maryanne's car. After helping her open the car door, he bent down and prepared to wake her up.
Surprisingly, what caught his eye was Maryanne's clear, watery eyes. Jarvy was taken aback when he saw her.
She... had been pretending to be asleep?
Besides... he was not afraid of being discovered.
Upon hearing that, Jarvy thought to himself, "Interesting."
He wanted to see how many waves of attack
she could withstand.
