Chapter 225
Jack froze.
He asked, "What's the matter, Wendy?"
Wendy lowered her voice, "She's Tobias' wife! I heard the other women gossiping about her. She's so ungrateful! She's with Tobias and yet she wanted to hook up with you!"
"Wendy, don't talk nonsense!" Jack's eyes darkened as he cut her off.
Wendy paused for a moment. She had never seen Jack look so fierce before.
Her mouth twitched and she said, "Jack, you scared me."
Jack realized he lost his composure after hearing her words.
He said softly, "I'm sorry."
Wendy vented her frustrations on Natalie and said in a vengeful tone, "Jack, Natalie is just a rebound girl! Do you know why Tobians chose her? It's because she looks like his exgirlfriend! Otherwise, why would Tobias marry her?"
Jack felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
Wendy continued confidently, "When I studied in the United States, I met Tobias' exgirlfriend before. Their relationship was a hot topic in the school. His girlfriend was the prettiest girl in school and everyone admired her beauty. Natalie is nothing like her."
Jack's body stiffened.
He slowly came to his senses after a long while.
He looked at Wendy and asked slowly, "Wendy, does she really look like Tobias' exgirlfriend?"
Wendy paused for a moment.
She didn't expect her gossip to attract Jack's attention as he was never interested in gossip.
Wendy nodded. "Yes, a little, but my senior is much better looking than she is. Natalie is really nothing like her."
Jack learned some information about Tobias, including a love story from his past.
This love story was not private, as many students knew about it, so it was not surprising that Jack found out about it.
Tobias had a girlfriend in university, and her name was Winnie Tanner.
Winnie was the daughter of the Tanner Group's boss. Tanner Group was a finance group in the United States. She was extremely beautiful.
The love story between Tobias and Winnie was a tale that people still talked about until this day.
For example, on Valentine's Day during his university times, Tobias gave Winnie ten thousand roses. The roses bloomed everywhere in school.
Later, Tobias broke up with Winnie for some unknown reason and he returned to Glevania to work.
Jack had a photo of Winnie.
In the photo, Winnie smiled at the camera. She looked breathtaking and beautiful.
Her eyebrows and eyes were a little similar to Natalie's.
Wendy was right. Natalie was nothing like Winnie.
Jack's heart fell.
He was willing to let go of Natalie if she could live a happy life.
But now, Natalie was just a rebound girl.
She was only Winnie's substitute.
Could Natalie still be happy this way?
In the president's office of the YS Group.
"Mr. Whitlock, Jack of the Perry Group, wants to meet you," Benjamin said to Tobias respectfully.
Tobias' brow twitched slightly.
Why was Jack looking for him?
He previously cleared things up with Jack, hence he didn't expect Jack to look for him.
Tobias said calmly, "Let him in."
"Okay," Benjamin said and left the room.
After a moment, Jack entered Tobias' office.
"Have a seat," Tobias took a look at Jack and said.
Jack looked sullen. "It's fine. I'm here to talk about Natalie."
Tobias' eyes darkened slightly.
He expected this. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
"Mr. Perry, I think I was really clear during our previous exchange. Whatever relationship Natalie had with you is in the past because she's my wife now. I don't care if you're just friends. I hope that you can avoid meeting her, as there's a high chance your appearance will trigger her memories."
Tobias' tone was calm but there was a hint of
warning in it.
Jack's eyes lit up. "Mr. Whitlock, I'm willing to let go of Natalie and I'm even willing to never show up in front of her because I wish for her to be happy. I'm not doing this because I'm scared of you."
Tobias' looked at Jack indifferently as he replied, "Your wish will come true. She will be happy."
Jack's lips curved with a sarcastic smile. "Mr. Whitlock, you have always been regarded as an honest person in the business industry, so I never expected you to lie about relationships. Can you really make Natalie happy? Or are you just treating her as a rebound?"
Tobias looked at Jack and said, "Mr. Perry, I'm honest in relationships and in business. Since I married Natalie, I will protect her for a lifetime; you don't have to make unreasonable speculations here. You're just her childhood friend, so this does not mean that you have the right to spout nonsense to my face."
"Speculations? Nonsense?" Jack's tone was sarcastic. He continued, "Mr. Whitlock, have you forgotten that you had a girlfriend in university? You used to be her schoolmate and you even gifted her roses. There were also thousands of heart-shaped balloons floating in the air. Have you forgotten all the romantic things you've done?"
Tobias' face was cold and he looked at Jack fiercely. "Jack, my past has nothing to do with you. I have already ended that relationship, hence it will not affect me and Natalie. I'll remind you again to
stop making unreasonable speculations!"
His voice was loud and firm; anyone who heard it would be scared.
However, Jack was not afraid at all.
He stared into Tobias' eyes and asked, "Speculation?"
The next second, Jack picked up the photo on Tobias' desk and threw it onto the ground.
It was a photo of a sweet girl; she was smiling at the camera and she looked beautiful.
Her smile was breathtaking.
Jack said slowly, "Am I speculating or did you forget what your ex-girlfriend looked like? Is it because Natalie looks like her? Just admit that you're treating Natalie as a rebound girl!" Coldness flashed in Tobias' eyes. He did not look at the photo.
"Jack, don't assume that you know the truth. Don't think too highly of yourself."
Jack's face fell. "Mr. Whitlock, Natalie cannot be compared to Winnie. Winnie is the daughter of the Tanner family and she graduated from a world-class university. An ordinary girl like Natalie can't be compared to such a beautiful girl. You would not have met her as you both are from different worlds!"
