Chapter 469 - 479: Return to the Capital of SSUP
"Sorry, I’m Sarah Grandy’s high school classmate. My father is Jacob Luther, the chairman of P Region Company." John Wilson took one look at James Brown’s age, clearly an adult but not too old, and couldn’t figure out exactly who James was to Sarah. So he took the initiative to introduce himself, even name-dropping his father, as though everyone should know who his dad is.
James Brown didn’t mind if boys pursued Sarah, but John Wilson’s average looks, coupled with his tendency to flaunt his father’s status, immediately lowered his impression of him. Even if John had decent grades, such behavior wouldn’t lead to much achievement. On top of that, it was clear Sarah didn’t have feelings for him. James simply gave a faint smile and replied, "Oh, I don’t know him."
The average person, hearing this, would promptly drop the topic. But John Wilson, with an incredulous expression on his face, exclaimed, "You mean you don’t know my dad? Our family’s P Region Company ranks in the top ten in all of YODC City! It has assets worth nearly a billion USD, and my dad is even a member of the HRD Office!"
James Brown found it amusing and replied, "Still don’t know him. Anyway, you go ahead, Sarah and I need to leave."
"Um... uh... Sir, may I ask your name?" Seeing Sarah was walking away with James, apparently following his lead, John hurriedly caught up and tried to strike up a conversation with James.
Sarah had already run out of patience. "He’s my husband. Do you have some business with him?"
"H-Husband?" John Wilson’s mouth opened wide enough to fit a goose egg inside—though for most people, a chicken egg would suffice!
Seeing John’s shocked expression, Sarah felt a satisfied inner smugness. Tilting her head, she leaned against James’s shoulder and exclaimed, "Yep, he’s my husband. We’ve been living together."
John Wilson’s eyes bulged even further, almost popping out. After a moment, he stammered, "You... Sarah, how is this possible?"
Sarah blinked her eyes playfully and teased, "Why not? I’ve always had a thing for older men. Big bros fit my criteria, so I moved in with him."
John Wilson shook his head and suddenly chuckled. "Sarah, you still love joking around, don’t you? Haha, this must be your cousin, right?"
