Chapter 114 (Dinner Treat Courtesy of Mr. Hastings)

"Yes, that's him! He has been courting me for years, but I've never fancied him!" Stefanie was annoyed when Charles's name was brought up.

"How about this? I'll explain it to Mr. and Mrs. Sullen myself. After all, Mystic Bay is the perfect place for retirement."

"That's not necessary. My parents are happy where they are now. Besides, they have neighbors accompanying them to pass the time. Perhaps we can talk about it sometime in the future," Jacob suggested.

Stefanie nodded as she picked up her bag and walked toward the door.

Suddenly, she turned back and said, "Don't hesitate to tell me if someone bullies you, okay? If worse comes to worst, I can just fire Charles."

"Do you think there's anyone capable of bullying me?" Jacob smiled cheekily.

Amused by Jacob's sense of humor, Stefanie left with a smile on her face. Who am I kidding? I watched Jacob defeat Sylvan with my own eyes. Surely no one in this company could bully Jacob.
