Before she left, Maryanne forgot the bunch of dogbanes that Jarvy had given her, intentionally or unintentionally.
In this regard, Jarvy did not open his mouth to remind her, lest he brought disgrace upon himself.
After leaving the hotel, Nier asked, "Maryanne, where are you going next?"
Jarvy also looked at Maryanne.
Maryanne did not want Nier to continue pestering her, so she said, "I'm going home."
Nier, who didn't know that Maryanne had left home, immediately said, "I'll give you a ride."
Maryanne pointed at Jarvy, who was standing beside her. "There's no need. He will send me home."
Nier could not help but take a look at Jarvy. Jarvy nodded at him and said, "Just let me send Maryanne back. Don't you still need to investigate Maryanne's preference? Don't waste time."
"Damn it! You don't need to remind me about this!"
After scolding him in his heart, Nier said reluctantly, "Alright then. Maryanne, I'll go back first. Let's meet another day."
Maryanne nodded perfunctorily.
When Nier's figure disappeared, Maryanne immediately turned around and walked into the hotel.
Jarvy's eyes darkened, and then he quickly followed up, "Maryanne, are you angry?"
Maryanne did not speak as she walked on her own. However, when she reached the lift, she suddenly realized that her room number would be exposed if she continued to walk on, and she could not help but stop.
Then, she turned her head and looked at Jarvy, who had followed her all the way, expressionlessly. "What else do you want?"
After standing still, Jarvy said softly, "Maryanne, I know I shouldn't have exposed your position to Mr. Hemwerth. I apologize to you. Don't be angry, okay?"
Hearing this, Maryanne, who had been suppressing her anger, finally broke out. "You've already done it, what's the point of apologizing? You shouldn't have lied to me and told me that they were here to talk to you, but in fact, you've betrayed me! Jarvy, do you still think that my life is not messy enough?"
"Maryanne, calm down first." Jarvy's voice was slightly strained when he saw the people who were waiting for the elevator turn to look at them. "Let's go to a quiet place. I'll let you vent your anger, okay?"
After catching the flash of impatience on his face, Maryanne's voice rose instead of dropping. "No need. Get lost right now and I'll be quiet."
The word "get lost" was absolutely a great shame for Jarvy. For a moment, he felt that he could hardly control himself!
But when he thought of his purpose, he forced himself to calm down. "Maryanne, to tell you the truth, the reason why I lied to you that Mr. Hemwerth wanted to discuss about something with me was because
I don't want you to be so angry, and the reason why I revealed your whereabouts to them is that I want to see how you refuse them!"
Maryanne sneered. "Oh? In other words, you're an audience. Alexer and I are like actors, responsible for performing on stage to make you happy?"
"It's not like that!" Jarvy raised his hand and loosened his tie. He said somewhat anxiously, "Everyone is a competitor. Actually, I don't want you to have any contact with them at all.
But at the same time, I also know that you are a girl with a strong will. As long as Mr. Hemwerth and others dare to express their love to you, you will most likely refuse them. What would be more hurtful to them than you rejecting them?
Your one sentence is more useful than my hundred sentences! Now, Mr. Ronald and Mr. Hemwerth have been frustrated one after another, and they decided not to chase you anymore.
I have two less competitors at a time. To be honest, I am really happy."
Jarvy's words were well-founded and logical. It was as if he was just a simple cynical man who was trapped in love. Maryanne's temper was finally no longer that bad. "So this is your plan?"
Jarvy smiled bitterly and said, "Well, I had planned all this, but Mr. Hemwerth told you the truth as soon as he came. At that time, I really wanted to beat him to death!"
Hearing that, a smile finally appeared on Maryanne's face. "Don't try to please me. You and your brothers have a deep relationship. How could you fight over a woman like me?"
"That's because you never fell for the four of us. Otherwise, we would have started fighting a long time ago." Jarvy tried to influence Maryanne's charisma from the side.
Maryanne sneered, "They only suffered a few blows from me today, and two of them retreated directly. The remaining one, who was still hesitant, would be forced to withdraw at any time. Who would like this kind of person?"
Jarvy raised his eyebrows, suddenly lowered his handsome face and asked affectionately, "Maryanne, do you suddenly find out that I am the most reliable one among the four?"
Maryanne's eyes darted around his face. "Indeed, and you're the most handsome one among them. You've been chasing after me for two months, and I'm pretty lucky.”
Hearing this, the smile on Jarvy's lips could not help but expand. "It seems that it's right to let Mr. Hemwerth and the others come over today. It's just a good opportunity to let you see who is sincere to you and who is just playing with you."
"Well, it's obvious that Mr. Ronald just wants to play with me. He is narrow- minded and took away the car key before he left. He is not as generous as Alexer.
"But you said that Alexer also gave up, so this person also tried to pass the buck. In the end, you and Nier are the only ones left. To be honest, I am not familiar with Nier at all. I really don't know what he likes about me."
"You come from a good family and you're beautiful." Jarvy praised her again.
"That's right," Maryanne said, trying to hide a little from Milton, "But my dear, I finally understand why they were able to recognize me the moment I put on my disguise!"
"Why?"
"Because I always wear gloves!"
Upon hearing this, Milton realized and cursed in a low voice, "So that's how it is! Damn it! Why didn't we think of it?"
"Perhaps it's because we're used to the fact that I'm wearing gloves that I've overlooked it subconsciously? It doesn’t matter. I know now, so I decided to change my way!" Maryanne said.
Milton asked, "Maryanne, what do you want to do?"
Maryanne replied, "I want to take off my gloves and walk out of the hotel.”
"Maryanne, don't... don't do this!" Milton's voice could not conceal his heartache. "I don't need you to do this for me!"
"Just take it as an experiment. If my brother's men don't find out, I'll be able to find you from now on! " Maryanne said optimistically.
"Maryanne, you'll feel wronged!" Milton knew that what Maryanne hated most was being seen by others about the scar on her hand.
"No, I don't feel wronged at all." Maryanne pulled up the curtains and took off the wig on her head. Then she walked to the wardrobe and began to choose a new outfit. "As long as I can see you, what's the point of me making this little sacrifice? By the way, are you discharged from the hospital now?"
"Yes, my mother and Amelia came to pick me up," Milton answered honestly.
"Well, I'll go to your house now!" Maryanne couldn't wait to say.
Milton still wanted to persuade her, "Maryanne..."
"Don't be against it anymore, I already said that it's alright!" Maryanne placed a hand on her hips and said coquettishly, "Don't you want to see me?"
"Of course not!" Milton eagerly denied, "I just don't want you to be pointed at along the way!"
"Idiot!" Maryanne softly scolded him. "I can put my hands in my pockets when I get out of the hotel. Who can see it?"
"..." Milton paused for a while and agreed at last. "Well, you must pay attention to your safety on the way!"
"Got it!" Maryanne, with his permission, immediately kissed him twice on the phone. Her voice was very sweet. "Honey, wait for me obediently in bed."
