Chapter 263 Men Are All Beasts
When Olivia called, Kate and Jasper were having a meal outside.
“What’s up, sister?” Kate asked.
Olivia’s voice came through. “George has asked us to have a gathering tomorrow evening. Come over earlier
tomorrow—we’ll meet at the restaurant on Riverdale Street!”
“Alright, but it’s on me tomorrow. No one else is allowed to pick up the tab!”
Olivia smiled. “No problem, you’ll have the opportunity, but you have to help me out on something!”
Kate asked, “What is it?”
Olivia sounded slightly embarrassed. “Well, Eugene had sent me breakfast this morning , but George saw it. I have
no other choice but to lie that you were the one who sent it to me.”
Kate was shocked. “What? Eugene made breakfast for you?”

Kate was nonchalant about it. “What’s wrong with that? If I were you, I would definitely show it off to the entire
world.”
Olivia said, “That’s you, not me. I don’t want anyone else to know about this. Remember, if George asks about it,
tell him that you made it. If he doesn’t, you can forget it. He doesn’t seem suspicious about it to me.”
Kate laughed. “Alright, I got it. But hey, you have to tell me what I’ve made, right?”
“Spicy lobster, sautéed lily bulbs with celery, congee…”
When she heard that, she giggled. “President Nolan knows how to cook, huh?”
Olivia replied, “I think he made the vegetables, but the rest was bought.”
Kate asked, “No matter what, he surely treats you well enough, but why are you afraid of letting George know?”
Olivia couldn’t explain this on the phone, so she forcefully said, “No matter what, I can’t let him know about it.”
Kate said, “You are avoiding the question. Tell me, does George like you too?”
“That’s all. Bye!”
With that, Olivia hung up.
Upon looking at the phone after Olivia ended the call, Kate couldn’t help but smile. She’s doomed this time! Two
men are trying to pursue her concurrently. Let’s see what she’s going to do about it!
While looking at her, Jasper asked, “Is this your best friend?”
“Yeah.”
“Is her son alright?”
Kate replied, “He’s fine. He even picked up the phone the last time I called her. I heard that Olivia had nightmares
last night, but it’s fine now.”
While cutting the steak, he replied, “That’s good then.”
He had been studying abroad all the while and only returned not long ago to open a local jewelry store.
It was at a fashion party that he heard of the magazine publisher, ‘Bourgeoisie Life’.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmInitially, he wanted to use the opportunity to collaborate with the magazine publisher to form a working relationship
with Kate, so that he could become closer to Eugene. After all, connections would be a powerful resource in the
current society.
After interacting with her, Jasper slowly developed a liking toward her. She was kind, passionate, and
straightforward. On top of that, she was quite humorous at times. Soon, everything else didn’t seem so important
to him.
“The steak from this restaurant is pretty authentic. Try this.” Jasper pushed the steak that he had just sliced in front
of her.
Kate smiled. “Thanks. You are exceptionally polite. Is everyone who studied abroad a gentleman?”
He replied, “You can’t generalize everything. Not everyone who studies abroad is chivalrous. Some of them might
look decent, but they can be quite immoral.”
She laughed out loud. “So, you are actually one of those people?”
He laughed. “Haven’t you realized that decency and immoral aren’t contradictory? If the same person is being
treated both ways, the perpetrator is a gentleman indeed!”
After thinking about it, Kate thought that Jasper’s explanation was rather reasonable. Men are beasts, after all!
“Well, at least you look like a gentleman. I’m not even ladylike,” she said in exasperation.
