My Wealthy Husband

Chapter 9 For what? For Your Betrayal?

Jacob’s lips curved. Then he started to dance with Nova elegantly, with one hand around Nova’s waist and the other holding hers. Jacob danced well, with prides in his eyes. He looked like the noble in Medieval Europe. No, he was actually a nobleman. Nova had received all kinds of training since childhood, so she had no problems keeping the pace with Jacob. The two, both with good looks, danced on the dance floor as if there was no one else, attracting many eyes falling on them.

With so many people present here, Nova believed that the news that Nova Graham fell in love with Jacob Chapman will be reported soon. Maybe it’s just a deceit to others for him, while for Nova, it’s also a commercial hype. So it’s a great opportunity for her company to be listed on the stock market. But——

Nova looked at Jacob’s chin and whispered.

“Mr. Chapman, you have just returned home, so you may not be clear about my story.”

Jacob looked down at her and alluded her to continue.

Nova decided to make it clear. She was single now, so the deceit had no effects on her. However, it’ll play a role to Jacob.

“Two months ago, I broke the wedding off with my ex-fiance, who was now with my sister. Besides, my sister, Ella Graham, will have a blind date with you, if nothing else.”

She was concise and honest. After hearing this, Jacob just asked, without any change of his expression.

“Are you sad?”

Nova was stunned. She wanted to tell Jacob that she was scandal-plagued recently. She might not help him but get him into trouble. However, he asked whether she felt sad or not. She used to be in

great desire that the words like that could be uttered from her families’ mouth, which were from a strange man’s now. How ridiculous!

She dodged Jacob’s eyes, lowered her head and said calmly.

“I’m not sad, but it’s humiliating.”

Jacob stopped dancing. The hand on her shoulder suddenly held her by the chin and forced her to look up at him. Her eyes looked very beautiful and indifferent, but he found a trace of vulnerability in them. If she was not sad, why did she choose to give her virginity to a strange man that night? He wanted to question her, but he just stared at her eyes and said.

“You are not frank.”

For an instant Nova froze, then she turned her head and stopped talking about this topic. After a while, she said again.

“Mr. Chapman, I’m telling you what’s in stake. After all, I think it might be better for you if you ask someone else to help you with that. Moreover, if there’s an accident out of control, I don’t have to take any responsibility. After all, it’s your choice.”

What Nova said sounded a little bit unkind, but Jacob did not even frown.

“I always have confidence in my choice.”

Nova caught a hint from his words, but she cannot tell it clearly. Nova frowned. She perhaps thought too much.

Ewan, who was not far away, watched the to and fro of their dancing, with a mixed feeling in his eyes. With a wine glass in his hand, he drank the wine bottoms up, then he walked toward them.

“There you are.”

Hearing the voice, Nova frowned and turned around to see Ewan in a white suit. With one hand in his pocket, the other was caressing the ring on his fourth finger. He looked at Jacob’s hand on the waist of Nova, and frowned slightly.

Nova glanced at him and didn’t say anything.

Ewan peered at Jacob, then turned to Nova.

“I’m here to tell you that my father has gotten the things about Tian Hanwan agreed with the H Group. And the agreement can be signed tomorrow. Don’t worry!”

Nova pulled herself up and then looked at Jacob beside her. But before she opened her mouth, he picked his phone up and said with a smile.

“Excuse me, I need to answer a call.”

Nova nodded and watched Jacob leave.

Ewan stared at Jacob’s back, and asked after a long while.

“A member of the Chapman family? What do you want to do, Nova?”

Coming to herself, Nova looked at him sarcastically and turned to leave.

With his face changed, Ewan suddenly took her by the arm,

“Is this your revenge?”

Laughing, Nova brushed off his hand and looked at him mockingly.

“For what? Your betrayal?”

Nova poked him in the chest with her finger, saying with a cold smile.

“Ewan, don’t think highly of yourself and don’t look down upon others! Before you say that, just ask yourself whether you deserve it or not.”

Jacob was answering a phone call upstairs.

“Who told you that Tian Haiwan is not needed?” Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

With a gloomy look, Jacob gnashed his teeth.

“President Chapman, you said that this morning.”

“What did I say?”

Jacob asked with wide eyes.

The man at the other end of the phone whispered.

“You said that Tian Haiwan was barren in the middle of nowhere. It’s useless.”

Jacob twitched the corner of his mouth with embarrassment. After a cough, he said.

“Did I say that it is not needed?”

“No!”

“Well, have it back!”

“But the lot of land is really in a bad condition. What do we buy it for?”

“My son will play with it, ok?”

“Ok!”

With a long face, the man replied.

Wonders will never cease. He knew what kind of person President Chapman was. He will never waste one cent on something useless. But Jacob said he bought the land for his boy to play with. Was he kidding him?

After hanging up, Jacob went to the bathroom and sprayed Cologne. He looked at himself in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction. Then he went downstairs.

“Nova.”

With a gloomy face, Ewan wanted to say something but was stopped by a sweet voice behind him.

“Ewan, why are you here? I have been looking for you for a while.”

Ella, in a pink dress and with a high ponytail, trotted over and took Ewan by the arm. Under her neat bangs were her watery eyes. Then she seemed to just catch eyes on Nova, and whispered with a trace of fear on her face.

“Sister, you’re here, too.”

Nova gave a glimpse at her. She didn’t look so scary, but why did Ella show a face with frightened expression.

Nova picked up a glass of wine and turned around to leave. Ella suddenly raised her voice.

“Sister, dad told me that President Hall’s son and President Mason’s son also attend this party, and let me introduce you to them. I just saw them over there and you should go to have a chat with them.

Otherwise, dad will blame me.”

Nova paused then turned around to stare at her with sharp eyes. Ella was really terrified this time and stepped back unconsciously.

Ella’s eyes seemed to be full of sincerity, but Nova could find a trace of glee. President Hall’s son was known of a play boy, who had an affair with several actresses. As for President Mason’s son, it’s said that he was an addict. If her father wanted her to marry one of them, there will be no doubt that the Graham Group will go bankrupt one day.

With Nova’s sharp eyes, Ella’s lips closed firmly with innocent wide eyes, then she whispered.

“Sister, my wedding with Ewan will take place this mouth, and we hope that you will find your Mr. right, who can make you happy, not a man like that guy who made you suffer a lot in the past six years.”
