Chapter 1059 Matchmaker
“Mr. Zillon, everyone who has made it to our cruise tonight is a distinguished guest. I hope you will be mindful of your words and manners.”
Curtis never imagined that Heather would make him lose face for the sake of Donald.
His face flushed with embarrassment. He said, “Ms. Jenner, are you really asking me to watch my manners because of him? That's not what you said when you invited me to the dinner party! Heather, I need an answer from you now. Who will you accompany tonight, me or him?”
Heather had never really liked Curtis before. The only reason she was even slightly cordial to him was because she recognized the financial strength of Zillon Group.
Now that Curtis had come to bother Donald, he had already crossed Heather's line.
Donald is the guest that Mr. Oakley has specifically instructed to be well taken care of. Who do you think you are, Curtis?
Just as Heather was about to have Curtis taken away, Donald stepped forward and said to Curtis, “You're Mr. Zillon, right? Judging by how you are acting, are you interested in Ms. Jenner?”
In the face of Heather, Curtis was a toady. But in the face of Donald, Curtis instantly regained his rebellious and unruly demeanor of a noble's son.
“That's right. I am indeed fond of Ms. Jenner. Is there a problem?”
Donald quickly responded with a smile, “Don't get me wrong—I bear no ill will toward you. I was just thinking, since you're so fond of Ms. Jenner, wouldn't it be a good thing if I played the role of a matchmaker?”
“Huh?”
Curtis looked at Donald with a puzzled expression, wondering whether there were really such good people in this world.
Donald turned to Heather and said, “Ms. Jenner, since Mr. Zillon specifically asked for your company, why don't you accompany him? After all, I was planning to relax on this ship tonight, and I would feel uncomfortable if you were with me the whole time.”
“Mr. Campbell, Mr. Oakley has asked me to take good care of you...”
“I'm a grown up. I can take care of myself. You'd better get going.”
Donald had long wanted to break free from Heather.
Now that Curtis, the nuisance, had shown up just in time, he certainly intended to seize the opportunity.
Seeing Donald persist, even if Heather had multiple reasons, it was no longer appropriate to voice them.
After all, Donald brought a female companion that night. It wouldn't be appropriate for her to insist on following Donald.
Heather watched wide-eyed as Donald and Penelope left the area.
She took out her phone and reported the situation to Aspen, asking him to send others to keep a close watch on the two individuals.
“Ms. Jenner, it seems there are some refreshments over there. How about we go and have a bite while we chat?” Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Curtis thought to himself, That man is quite sensible for not fighting with me over Heather.
Otherwise, he would surely show Donald the power of money that night.
Curtis had thought that once Donald left, Heather's attention would be focused on him.
Who would have known that Heather merely glanced at him and said with an aloof expression, “Mr. Zillon, you must be drunk, right? I am one of the main people in charge of tonight's banquet, and there are many things waiting for me to handle. Mr. Zillon, if you have time, you can have a few more drinks, but I don't have such leisure, excuse me.”
After saying this, Heather was about to leave.
Curtis finally lost his temper.
He firmly grasped Heather's wrist and said, “You wench, are you looking down on me?”
Upon seeing that Curtis actually dared to lay a hand on Heather, Mathias, who was standing by the side, was nearly scared out of his wits.
He quickly said to Curtis, “Calm down, Mr. Zillon. Ms. Jenner is not someone we can mess with.”
Mathias hadn't lost his sanity, so he knew that some women in this world were like roses with thorns; forcefully plucking them would only lead to self-inflicted wounds.
Alas, it was quite clear that Curtis had already lost his mind.
He said with a dismissive tone, “Any woman that catches my eye is never out of reach! Heather, I just need one answer from you. Are you willing to spend the night with me?”
