Chapter 230

“Besides, I already have a girlfriend.”

Emily was rooted on the ground upon hearing Casper’s words. In the meantime, the expression ofElena who was standing behind Casper also changed.

Did this kid just reject me? I took the initiative to come and see him and sort things out with him, andyet he rejected me?

Emily couldn’t believe what she just heard. She yelled at Casper, “Do you know who you’ve justrejected?”

Casper shrugged. “I didn’t reject you, Ms. Goldstein. I really have a girlfriend already.”

“Can you replace someone else like me with such a gorgeous appearance, a fine figure, and an extremelywell-off background?” Emily started breaking down.

“Well, um… my girlfriend is not bad too,” Casper replied cheerfully. His attitude further upset Emily.

Just then, Giselle heard the commotion and came outside to look for Casper. Right away, Casper ranover to her and took her hand as he said to Emily, “Ms. Goldstein, this is my girlfriend. You and I… arenot really compatible. Perhaps the age gap is a little huge, and there might be a generational gapbetween us.”

Emily almost choked herself in aggravation.

Does this kid think that I’m old? What the f*ck?

Even someone as restrained as Emily couldn’t help but curse within herself. She glanced at the personstanding next to Casper, and her expression turned from exasperation to bewilderment, and then tobitterness.

“Giselle Clauder?”

Undoubtedly, Emily could recognize Giselle. Sarah told her before that the prettiest woman at BusinessUniversity was Giselle. Emily had seen her picture and had to admit that she was no rival to Giselle interms of appearance and temperament.

“This kid actually succeeds in pursuing Giselle?” For a moment, Emily was speechless, and the cursewhich was about to be splurted from her mouth was swallowed.

Meanwhile, Giselle was notably bashful. Even though she had accepted Casper, she was still shy tohear how Casper announced her as his girlfriend in front of so many people.

“Casper, I’ve underestimated you,” Emily left Tycoon after muttering those words. She returned to herBumblebee and started crying as she leaned against the steering wheel.

“I have never failed to get anything that I want since young!”

For over thirty years, countless men would willingly gift her with anything she wanted as soon as shebeckoned and gave a signal. But that particular day, she was rejected even as she took the initiative tocome to that man herself.

What annoyed her most was the fact that Casper had rejected her because of Giselle—the one womanwho was better than her in every aspect.

“Casper, you jack*ss!”

The frustration within Emily grew stronger and stronger. Perhaps the more she backed off, the morebitter she felt. After feeling mortified to such an extent, Emily was not only ashamed but was alsoblinded by rage.

“Giselle Clauder, I wanted to compete with you, and you happen to be interested in Casper. Thatmeans he is worthy, and if that’s the case, I’ll make sure I get him!”

She took out her phone to make a call. “Hey, Dad.”

“What’s the matter, Emily? What happened with your matchmaking with Gabriel last time? How did itend up in such a way? I know that bloke isn’t good-looking, but you have to understand that he’s one ofthe few pre-eminent figures in Horington.”

“Enough. Don’t talk about him anymore. I’m disgusted even by the mention of his name. If it wasn’tbecause he’s rich, I would have turned him down outright much earlier and leave not even a singledash of respect for him!”

A long breath of sigh came from the other end of the line. “Huh… alright. I can understand that, butyou’re not young anymore. You have to get married to someone sooner or later. Your mom and I canleave our business behind, but when it concerns your marriage, there’s no way we’re going to stopinterfering. I don’t want to leave without having a grandchild.”

“That’s exactly the reason I’m calling you—to discuss this. I want to get married.”

“See? It’s maddening every time this matter is brought up…” There was a sudden pause on the otherside of the phone. It was only after a long while that a trembling voice started again, “Wha-what? Whatdid you just say?”

“I’ve taken a fancy to a man, and I want to get married to him,” Emily repeated.

“What in the world… Where’s my heart medication? Darling, get me my pills, quick.”

A small commotion could be heard over the phone. After a long time, a voice came from the other endagain. “Emily, who’s that lad?”

“Casper Simpson,” Emily stressed each of the syllables.

At Tycoon, Casper and Giselle went back to their private room. Casper was holding Giselle’s hand andsoftly rubbing his thumb against it while Giselle didn’t resist.

Owing to the incitement brought about by Emily, these two people were able to break through thetrammel in their relationship.

“Is it really alright for you to announce it in the presence of so many people?” Giselle looked right intoCasper’s eyes.

“What’s wrong with that? There’re still many other things that we’ll do in front of them in the future.”

They looked at each other, and as their affection for one another grew increasingly fervent. Then, theygot closer and closer; their lips and tongues tangled, and before they knew it, they were hugging andkissing.

Elena stood at the door of the private room with a complicated look in her eyes as she peeped at thekissing couple through the crack of the door.

Victoria, Giselle, there’s not a woman around him who isn’t better than me. Elena looked at the sexyoutfit she specifically dressed for him that day, and a rush of sadness surged within herself.

I’ve fallen for this man unwittingly.

That might be the happiest day in Casper’s life in many years. He hugged Giselle with his eyes filledwith devotion.

“I’ll surely treat you well, Giselle. I’ll make you the princess of the world in a year’s time!”

Casper had said that to Kitty before, but the gold digger had abandoned him. Isn’t Giselle a thousandtimes better than that woman?

The lovebirds were so deeply in love with each other that they even fed one another during dinner.They were in a phase where their relationship just started to blossom, and it was when they would bemost madly in love, ‘hot and heavy’ as the saying went.

The couple couldn’t get enough of each other in the private room, but each passing minute felt like aneternity to Elena. Her professionalism had always kept her standing upright all day without feelingdrained, but in that instance, she had started to feel giddy after only half an hour.

“Gigi, why don’t you stay and don’t go back tonight?”

An ardent glint emanated from Casper’s eyes, and he slowly ran his palm on Giselle’s thigh, but it wasimmediately shoved away by Giselle. “What are you thinking about? Is this what you’re thinking allday?”

Casper smiled wryly. “Isn’t this what every man desires? Hehe.”

“This can’t be rushed…” Giselle lowered her head. Perhaps she was embarrassed to be saying thosewords as a lecturer. “It’ll happen naturally when the time comes.”

Even her ears were flushed red as she finished her sentence. As with Casper, he certainly wouldn’tforce her into it. Hence, he agreed.

“Is that your secretary outside the door?” Giselle suddenly mentioned Elena. She’s the one who lookedintimate with Casper in the photo last time.

Casper nodded. “Yes, but we really… Even though she’s hot and good-looking, but it’s only with youthat I feel…”

Giselle shook her head. “You silly boy.”
