Chapter 133

She sent him a message at night, and it wasn’t until noon the next day that he received the transfer, but

he didn’t text her back. Magdalen had some free time that day, so she took her to The Hungry Spoon to

try some new dishes.

Unexpectedly, they ran into Manley when they were leaving. Manley and some friends were there for a

meal, and seeing her, he unabashedly walked over, smiling, “Are you having lunch with friends?”

Her sported a fresh addition to his style–a shiny silver earring adorning his left ear.

The new accessory added an extra touch of allure to his already charmingly rebellious and

mischievous look. Magdalen couldn’t help but grin, breaking the moment by declaring, “You guys can

chat. I’ll catch up with my friend for a little while.”

In a hushed tone, Estelle responded, “I’ll be waiting for you in the lobby.” “Sure thing!” Magdalen waved

goodbye and departed first. “How come you and Magdalen are good friends?” Manley raised an

eyebrow. “I’ve always been curious.”

Estelle asked indifferently, “Do you need anything?”

Manley chuckled softly, his playful gaze fixated on her. “Well, since you’re my public girlfriend, shouldn’t

I be allowed to chat with you fo no reason?” His flirtatious demeanor added a touch of charm to his

words. He continued, his eyes scanning her appreciatively, “By the way, I hope you weren’t harmed by

Lucille’s people last time. With your impressive skills, I doubt they could have laid a finger on you.

Rumor has it that they ended up getting beaten so badly that even their own mothers wouldn’t

recognize them. My girlfriend is absolutely amazing!”

Seeing him bringing it up, she asked, “What did you do to Lucille?”

Manley’s eyes flashed, and he slowly smiled. “She tried to hurt my girlfriend, what do you think I could

do to her? Just made her leave the country and never come back!”

“Isn’t she your cousin from your aunt’s family?” Estelle asked.

“Yeah, so?” Manley’s voice was playful but half–serious. “What’s a cousin compared to a girlfriend?

She was causing you trouble, of course I’d protect you and sacrifice her!”

Estelle, knowing Manley’s tendency for exaggerated compliments, didn’t take his words to heart. She

responded with a light tone, making it clear that she didn’t take his flattery seriously. “Oh, come on. You

didn’t have to go that far. I don’t want to feel like I owe you anything.”

Manley couldn’t help but laugh, showing a somewhat sad expression, and sighed, “Do I look like a

really bad person? What heinous things have I done that made you hate me so much?”

Upon thinking about it, there wasn’t really any significant grudge between them, and one way or

another, he was helping her this time. So she softened her tone, “No matter what the reason is, thank

you!”

Manley’s mischievous eyes glistened, and his jawline, smooth and refined, possessed a

handsomeness reminiscent of a character from a comic book. He continued, his playful demeanor

intact, “I managed to upset my entire aunt’s family over this. A mere ‘thank you‘ feels a bit insincere,

wouldn’t you agree?”

Raising her eyebrows, Estelle inquired, “So, how exactly would you like me to express my gratitude?”

Feigning deep contemplation, Manley offered a suggestion, “Well, how about treating me to a nice

dinner?”

“No way.” She couldn’t read Manley and believed it was best to stay away from potential dangers.

Manley’s beaming face suddenly looked hopeless, and he frowned, “It’s such a simple request but you

still refuse. What else can you do to thank me?”

Estelle thought about it and said seriously, “I’ll give you money!”

Manley was stunned, trying to hold back his laughter, but he couldn’t help it, and burst out laughing. He

then asked, “How much are you planning to give me?”

“How much do you want?”

Manley struggled to contain his laughter, enjoying the playful banter. “Ten million, huh? How about

that?” he proposed with a mischievous grin.

Estelle’s frown deepened, caught off guard by his unexpected greediness. Though she hadn’t

anticipated such a response, she realized that she had inadvertently made the offer. Reluctantly, she

mustered the determination to face the consequences and said, “Fine, give me your account number.

I’ll transfer it to you right away.”

“You’ll really pay?” Manley felt like he was going to choke on his laughter. “Where did you get so much

money?”

Upon Estelle’s agreement to transfer the amount, Manley’s expression faltered, a sudden realization

dawning upon him. His smile faded slightly as he spoke, “Wait a minute, you’re Jonathan’s mistress

You have access to his finances. In that case, never mind. I won’t take his money. I can’t risk losing my

place in J City.”

Estelle raised her eyebrows, “It’s your own decision not to take it, don’t say I didn’t offer!”

“I don’t want your money, but you can’t just get away with it like this. As it happens, I have something I

need help with. Why not you help me?” Manley suggested with a smile.

“What kind of help?” Estelle asked warily.
