Chapter 1510: I gave them a job

“Don’t be too discouraged,” Ms. Isabella patted Emma on the shoulder and said in a quiet voice, “We have tried our best. I will try to negotiate with the auction winner, to the best that…”

Emma nodded, but her emotion was complicated at this moment.

Although the exaggerated sunglasses almost covered half of his face, she still recognized him. She would rather believe that she was wrong because she always had a good impression of him and thought he was a good person. Unexpectedly, he was no different from these beasts disguised behind their wealth and appearance. The thought shook the figure in her mind.

The auction was over.

Emma got up and went to the platform outside. Ms. Isabella went backstage to see if she could negotiate with the buyer and persuade him to send the children to an actual shelter. Although they were well aware of the fact that the possibility was slim to none since it was 600 million dollars after all…

“Miss Watson, we meet again.”

Just then, a familiar and annoying voice came from behind her, Emma Watson turned her head, and when she saw the face of Berkeley Lewis, she immediately took two steps back in disgust.

“It seems that you haven’t forgotten me.” Berkeley Lewis smiled, “I’m flattered.”

“Please don’t use such a misleading statement, Mr. Lewis,” Emma said with coldness as she slightly raised her chin and then said, “If I remember correctly, your father should have warned you to stay away from me.”

“Please don’t be so nervous, I just came to apologize to you today.”

“Apologize?” Emma frowned.

“For my rudeness when we first met,” Berkeley said politely, “As an apology, I wonder if I would be lucky enough to buy you a drink?”

When the auction was only one-third of the way through, he had already come outside, Elsa was going to visit the protagonist of this banquet – Mr. Eller, the chairman of the Sundax Group, on behalf of her father.

“I’m not in the mood today, don’t bother me,” Emma said irritably, as she was about to leave.

“Don’t go in such a hurry.” When Berkeley saw Emma was about to leave, he was not ready to give up so easily, so he subconsciously wanted to grab her arm, but his hand was caught halfway by another hand, and he couldn’t move an inch forward.

Berkeley’s face was flushed because of anger, as he looked to the side, enraged.

Two annoying faces appeared in front of him at the same time.

At some point, Leslie and her companion had already made their way here. And the one who grabbed his hand was the man beside Leslie.

“Let go of my hand,” Berkeley stared at Jiang Chen, like a snake locked onto its prey, and the disguised politeness was instantly torn apart by his nature at this very moment. He said, one word at a time, with hatred and anger, “Boy, just because you have hopped in bed with the Garcia family, doesn’t mean she can protect you from what I’m about to do to you. Can she protect you for the rest of your life? When I get off the boat, I will let you know—”

“Mr. Lewis, it seems you still don’t have a good memory?” Jiang Chen interrupted Berkeley’s speech, smiled lightly, and took off his sunglasses with his other hand, “Tell me, what do you want me to know?”

In an instant, Berkeley’s pupils almost shrank to a point. As if he had seen a ghost, all the blood vanished from his face.

The shame at the Penglai Charity Banquet that day spread from his mind to his hands and feet like poison. At this moment, he finally recalled the fear from last time. His hands and feet became cold and he couldn’t help but begin to shake…

Jiang Chen faintly smelled a pungent odor, glanced at his pants, and saw that the color of the crotch area turned darker, and droplets of liquid ran to the ground through his pants.

Jiang Chen pushed away the hand in disgust, then said to Berkeley, who was ghostly white.

“You have three seconds to disappear. If I see you appear in front of me…”

Before Jiang Chen could finish, Berkeley ran away.

Because of panic, he hit the table with his leg when he passed the crowd, and champagne splashed all over him. Finally, in the countless eyes full of surprise and contempt, he crawled out of the banquet hall.

As for Elsa, and the task his dad gave him to pick up this girl, were no longer his priorities. Now, his top priority was to get out of Nouveau York as fast as possible and return to Los Santos…

The farther away from that devil, the better!

Emma looked at Jiang Chen with a complicated emotion in her eyes. The latter noticed her sight, put on his sunglasses again, and smiled.

Just now, she confirmed that it was indeed Jiang Chen who had won the auction for that orphanage. She didn’t understand why he is doing this and didn’t want to believe that Jiang Chen was that kind of person, so after she hesitated for a moment, she finally asked the question that had bothered her.

“That orphanage, what are you going to use it for?”

Leslie looked at Ms. Watson in surprise.

Typically in a gathering of this level, no one would ask this question out loud.

After Jiang Chen noticed Emma’s expression, he had guessed she thoughts, so he laughed.

“Are you talking about the children in the orphanage?”

“Mhmm…”

“I gave them a job.”

“A job?”

“Yes, do you want to take a look together?”

After she debated for a moment, she nodded.

Jiang Chen put on his wireless earphones and turned on the holographic screen of his watch. After he opened the address book, he dialed a number.

As soon as the call was connected, Bernice’s voice came from the other side.

“Hey?”

“Are you free tomorrow?”

“Of course, any instructions?”

“Wait for me at the airport at about nine o’clock. We’re going to the Virgin Islands.”

“Okay.”

After he hung up, he looked at Emma.

“If you are interested, wait for me at JFK at nine o’clock tomorrow morning.”

After he finished the sentence, he took Leslie to the room on the cruise ship.

“She is your lover?”

“She is more of a friend,” Jiang Chen smiled and patted Leslie on the butt, “What? Are you jealous?”

Jiang Chen certainly wouldn’t say that “Hermione” was the goddess of his childhood. Part of the reason was the sentimental value that caused him to view Emma Watson positively. However, he would say his feelings towards her were more of an appreciation, and only in the sense of appreciation. It was not his style to act on this feeling.

It was more than a challenge to turn a British lady who strongly believe women’s rights and public welfare into his lover. Jiang Chen could feel that Miss “Hermione” still has a good impression of him, but there was still a big gap between this good impression and liking him.

“Not at all.” With a seductive look in her eyes, Leslie looked to Jiang Chen and took his arm. “I’m just a little curious.”

She won’t ask questions that shouldn’t be asked.

Although she was not the most cunning, she still possessed a certain level of understanding.

From the beginning, she made her position clear.

The third daughter of Garcia’s family…

…and the North American lover of the Celestial Trade President.
