Kyla said as she bowed a little and left, leaving Jacqueline Bowman with a puzzled look on her face.
Some thoughts started flashing in her mind.
There were not many people in the buffet area. Kyla took some food that was easy to chew and suitable for the elderly. Just as she turned to leave, a hand snatched the plate from her hand. “I’ll take that for you.”
Kyla froze a little, and Martin Weiss’s figure came into view.
She was instantly caught off guard.
Martin Weiss was wearing a crisp black suit. His slicked-back hair and defined features gave people a sense of rigor and indifference.
However, his eyes looked at her warily as if he was afraid she would refuse.
The words ‘no thanks’ seemed to be stuck in her throat, making it difficult for her to speak.
Finally, what she said was… “My mom’s waiting for me at the lounge.” With that said, she took the lead at the front while Martin Weiss hurriedly kept up with her.
The two looked like a match made in heaven as they walked side by side. They also caught many people’s attention.
Jacqueline Bowman looked at them from afar, disgust written all over her face. Kyla came with Martin Weiss, yet she denied it so blatantly! It was as if she took her for a fool!
Neal Reid said thoughtfully, “Your friend isn’t simple. There’s no way a woman who has been to prison can make a man like Martin Weiss treat her like that if she didn’t have some brains! However, a woman like that can never get an official title even if she’s pregnant.”
‘A woman who has been to prison…’ These words seemed to trigger Jacqueline Bowman, and her eyes darkened.
She was also a woman who had been to prison. Her past was taboo to her, but Neal Reid never cared about it in front of his friends. He would even make fun of the fact that she had been to prison.
Sometimes, she could not help wondering if this meant that Neal Reid had no intention of giving her a title. Even if she bore him a son, perhaps he would still refuse to give her a title.
In his eyes, she was just a woman who had been to prison. He could fool around with her, but she was not worth marrying!
Martin Weiss accompanied Kyla over to Mrs. Corbyn and placed the plate of food in front of Mrs. Corbyn.
“Mom, if you want something more to eat, I’ll get it for you,” said Martin Weiss.
“No thanks. This is enough,” Mrs. Corbyn said quickly.
“Why don’t I get some food for Kyla?” asked Martin Weiss. Then, he asked Kyla, “Is there anything you want to eat?”
Kyla replied, “No thanks, I’m not that hungry.”
Martin Weiss said, “Even if you don’t want to eat, the baby in your belly still needs some food. Sit with Mom. I’ll go get you something.”
With that said, Martin Weiss went away to get some food. Mrs. Corbyn looked at Martin Weiss’s leaving figure before looking at her daughter. “He cares about you.”
Kyla bit her lip and stayed silent.
Martin Weiss came to the buffet area. Jacqueline Bowman walked up and said, “Hello, Mr. Weiss. Do you remember me? I’m Kyla’s friend. We met a few days ago. My name is Jacqueline Bowman. You can call me Jacqueline.”
She put on a bright smile and showed what she thought was a seductive look, hoping to attract Martin Weiss’s attention. In Jacqueline Bowman’s opinion, she was better looking and younger than Kyla.
Even Kyla could capture Martin Weiss’s attention, so maybe she could too.
If she caught Martin Weiss’s attention, why would she settle for someone like Neal Reid?
Martin Weiss looked coldly at the woman in front of him. He could see right through women like her at a glance. After all, he had been surrounded by women like her over the years.
“Since you think you’re Kyla’s friend, it’s best you behave like a friend and stop thinking about using her. I spared you last time because you helped Kyla when you were in prison. But you won’t be so lucky next time,” Martin Weiss said coldly.
A chill ran down Jacqueline Bowman’s back. “Mister… Mr. Weiss, did Kyla say something to make you misunderstand? I… I’m not trying to use Kyla for anything. I just —”
However, before Jacqueline Bowman could finish speaking, Martin Weiss said, “You and I know full well whether I misunderstood you or not. And don’t have any funny ideas in front of me. I’m not interested in women like you.”
Jacqueline Bowman instantly blushed, feeling deeply insulted. “A-Aren’t you just fooling around with Kyla too? Are you really interested in someone who has been to prison-like her?”
Martin Weiss’s eyes suddenly darkened. “If I hear you talk about Kyla’s imprisonment again, I’ll make sure you’ll never talk again!”
Jacqueline Bowman shuddered as fear rose in her heart.
She wanted to say that the man was joking, but his eyes made it very clear that he was not. He was serious!
She had heard from Neal Reid that something happened to Mr. Lambert’s company after the incident in the private room. Several big business deals had fallen through. Though the Lambert family did not say what had happened, Neal Reid guessed that perhaps Martin Weiss was sabotaging the Lambert family.
Otherwise, there was no way things could be so coincidental!
After Martin Weiss left the buffet area, Jacqueline Bowman was still standing blankly in the same spot.
Her palms and back were covered with cold sweat.
‘Why? Why isn’t Martin Weiss interested in me? Kyla is no match for me!’
Jacqueline Bowman felt a surge of anger and jealousy. Then, she seemed to recall something. She quickly walked to the corner, took out her phone from her clutch bag, and dialed a phone number.
“Hello, is this Mr. Lambert? I’m Jacqueline, and I’d like to tell you something…”
On the other hand, Martin Weiss walked over to Mrs. Corbyn and Kyla with the plate in his hand. He handed the plate to Kyla. All the food he took was relatively light-tasting. He avoided raw and cold food, hence everything on the plate was suitable for pregnant women.
Martin Weiss also brought Kyla a warm glass of a multigrain drink. “Let me know if you feel tired later.
I’ll ask the driver to take you home to rest.”
With that said, Martin Weiss turned around and sat at another table nearby.
Kyla froze slightly. She understood that he was keeping his distance from her because he remembered her saying she was scared of him.
