Chapter 2721
“What could be more important than me?” Monte was pleased with Eliza’s
reply, but still, he asked sourly.
“I’m not telling you.”
Charity responded with a quick retort.
Upon detecting a hint of forced arrogance in her voice, Monte’s heart
melted.
He found Eliza too mild-mannered back then, so he was delighted that she
now showed her arrogant side.
Indeed, a short separation between a couple could refresh a relationship.
“Fine, don’t tell me. However, don’t get too close with other men behind my
back,” he warned sternly. “I think the man who sent you home that night
may be interested in you.”
“That was Ryan’s friend.” Charity got in her car while putting on an act for him over the phone. “He was the blind

Monte was taken aback by that unexpected reply, and he immediately felt upset, “ Lizzie, are you doing this on
purpose? I’ll admit that you’ve made me jealous, terribly jealous.”
Charity was speechless.
Coming across that way was not her intention.
“Lizzie, although I’m not sure who that man is, a friend of Ryan’s is definitely far from a simple person. People who
are involved in politics are stricter with their other half. I have seen several politicians whose careers practically
ended after marrying female celebrities. Businessmen like us would have it easier as long as we have the ability to
earn and provide. Apart from the pressure from our parents, it wouldn’t affect your career at all,” he said gently. “I
don’t want you to get hurt again. Do you understand?”
“You don’t have to tell me that. I don’t like him.” Charity fastened her seat belt. “I think he’s too tanned. I like the
gentler- looking types.”
Monte was over the moon.
He had that gentlemen's look.
“I agree. Gentlemen are more considerate.” He giggled softly.
“I have to drive. We’ll talk again soon.” Charity was not in the mood to deal with him.
Once Monte hung up, he walked happily to the presidential suite to meet Hugo.
After the doorbell rang, Hugo opened the door, yawning.
“Young Master Jeffs, where did you go last night? I wanted to invite you to the pub yesterday.”
Monte entered the suite with a huge grin on his face.
“I had dinner with a few of my former classmates.” He smiled and cast
Monte a knowing glance, asking, “Why does your face look swollen, Young
Master Patterson?”
“Don’t even get me started. My dad punched me in the face.” He rubbed his
face lightly and sulked. “I wanted to call off the wedding.”
“Does your dad want Lillian as his daughter -in-law so badly?” Hugo could
not have disapproved more. “She spends so carelessly, yet the Tanner
family does nothing to stop her. They’re obviously taking advantage of your
wealth.”
“My dad doesn’t quite like the way she spends money either.” Monte

Master Jeffs, regarding the collaboration we discussed earlier...”
“I’ve mentioned it to my dad. He said the Pattersons’ hotels are ranked
highly in Australia, so collaborating with your family shouldn't be a huge
issue.” Then, Hugo added pensively, “But, Young Master Patterson, this isn’t
Newcastle. What if anything happens?”
“I’m just the middleman trying to earn some commission,” Monte forced a
smile. “ Don’t worry. There won’t be any problem. I’ve even set up a
company to provide clients with international payment services when the
time comes. Besides, we won’t have to do this for long. Once I get all the
big accounts tied up with our hotels, they’ll have to work with us in the
future.”
“Not bad, Young Master Patterson.” Hugo gave him a thumbs up. “With the
courage you possess, I’m certain the Patterson Corporation will develop
well under your lead.” “Thank you for your words. I hope so too. ”
