CHAPTER 162: CHAPTER 162: THE SINCLAIR FAMILY’S PRECIOUS DAUGHTER

"I want the truth," she added.

Jared Langley smiled slightly and was silent for two seconds.

"I just like your straightforward nature. Talking to you really doesn’t require too much effort."

Juliana Jacobs raised her eyebrows without speaking.

Jared Langley propped his elbow on the desk, looking serious, "You’re someone who knows what you want, lives clearly, acts decisively, never dithers, but also knows when to show and when to hide. You have principles and tactics. You’re undoubtedly the perfect choice for my wife."

Jared Langley glanced around the office and continued, "You should have some understanding of the Langley Family’s situation. I will be the heir of the Langley Family in the future, so I’m very cautious in choosing a wife, but I don’t like my parents making decisions for me."

Juliana Jacobs laughed at his words, "Aren’t you thinking a bit ahead? Adrian Langley may not be an easy opponent, and your uncle doesn’t even have children yet. They’ll all be your competitors."

Jared Langley smiled meaningfully, "My uncle won’t have children."

Juliana Jacobs was taken aback, "Why?"

Jared Langley lowered his gaze for a moment, "It’s a physical issue of the Langley men. If you marry me, you’ll know later."

Juliana Jacobs’s eyelashes fluttered, and she didn’t press for more details. Instead, she pushed an agreement in front of him.

This was a technical cooperation agreement for the overall energy storage system of a smart home gallery.

Jared Langley quickly flipped through it and looked up, "What does this mean?"

Juliana Jacobs smiled lightly, "It’s a repayment for you saving my life last time. This energy storage system is more stable, with greater capacity, lower cost, and more safety. Using it in your smart home solution will completely solve your current backup power issue."

Jared Langley realized something, "So, what you mean is..."

Juliana Jacobs pursed her lips, "We owe each other nothing."

Jared Langley leaned back into his chair, his gaze toward her deepening.

"If you marry me, you’ll become part of the Langley Family, and I’ll protect you thoroughly. And I can guarantee to you that after we get married, there will be no other women around me. What Evan Grant can’t do, I can. What he can give you, I can give even more."

Juliana Jacobs wore a polite smile on her face and responded earnestly, "President Langley’s capabilities are unquestionable, but what I want, you surely can’t give."

In a family like the Langley Family, especially with someone like Jared Langley, the wife will always come last.

This is the fatal flaw of both Evan Grant and Jared Langley.

Having already experienced an unequal high-society marriage, Juliana Jacobs wants respect and equality, which is precisely what they can’t offer.

"Think about it?" Jared Langley frowned when he saw her so resolute.

Juliana Jacobs stood up, "Even if you wait a year, you’ll get the same answer."

"If you are interested, sign the agreement, President Langley. I actually hope to become business partners with you."

After speaking, she ignored Jared Langley’s solemn expression and turned to leave.

Just after leaving his office, she hadn’t walked far when she ran into Leona Sheridan coming out of the chairman’s office.

Leona Sheridan liked to make an entrance everywhere she went, always surrounded by a large entourage.

Seeing Juliana Jacobs coming out of Jared Langley’s office, she instantly showed displeasure.

"Mrs. Grant, I don’t care if you’re busy maneuvering between men, but you can’t bring the Grant Family’s dirty business to our Langley Family’s territory. No matter how clever your tactics are with men, you shouldn’t try to fool my son."

Her words immediately drew odd looks toward Juliana Jacobs.

Juliana Jacobs wasn’t annoyed, maintaining a light smile on her face.

"Mrs. Langley’s acting skills are a pity not to be on stage. But performing baseless accusations and stirring up trouble too long will not only bore the audience but also replace the actors sooner or later."

"Are you saying my husband will tire of me?"

Leona Sheridan was surprised that she would target what she cared about most.

Juliana Jacobs’s smile widened, "I didn’t say that, but Mrs. Langley’s sixth sense is sharp."

Leona Sheridan was infuriated.

"You, a woman who flaunts her charms and still finds no favor, dare scream at me on the Langley premises, if I don’t teach you a lesson today, you won’t know your place."

After finishing, she looked toward her assistant, ordering sternly, "Tie this woman up and throw her on the street, let everyone see how shameless Evan Grant’s woman is."

At that moment, Jared Langley heard the commotion outside and came out of his office.

He stood between Leona Sheridan and Juliana Jacobs, frowning at his mother, "Mom, this is a company, and the Langley Family’s dignity needs you to uphold it."

Leona Sheridan was shocked looking at her son, "Are you accusing me of losing my composure for that woman?"

"Let her leave," Jared Langley said expressionlessly.

"Fine, fine, very well. Today, I’ll personally teach this vixen a lesson and see who dares to stop me."

As she raised her hand to slap Juliana Jacobs, Jared Langley stopped her.

Mrs. Langley grew even angrier, "Even when her man doesn’t like her, and her ex-brother-in-law avoids her, why does a worthless woman catch your eye..."

Juliana Jacobs couldn’t stand her harsh words any longer, interrupting, "Mrs. Langley’s actions today truly reflect the upbringing of the Langley Family."

"Did you hear that, she insulted our whole family, and you still protect her!"

Leona Sheridan was persistent to break free from her son and attack Juliana Jacobs, even instructing her assistants and secretaries to take action.

The scene became chaotic for a while.

At that moment, two men emerged from the chairman’s office.

"During office hours, it’s chaos like a marketplace, what kind of behavior is this!"

Victor Langley’s voice quickly silenced the scene.

Juliana Jacobs was stunned to see Elias Langley beside him.

Wasn’t he supposed to be busy with something important and had to make her wait for half an hour?

"Husband..." Leona Sheridan walked quickly to Victor Langley’s side, looking deeply aggrieved, "This married woman came to the office to seduce your son and even insulted me, predicting the breakup of our relationship..."

Elias Langley and Juliana Jacobs locked eyes for two seconds before he calmly looked away.

Having been humiliated and stood up that morning, she probably wouldn’t want his help.

Thus, he stood indifferently aside, like an uninvolved bystander.

Juliana Jacobs felt a tug on her heart, wanting to explain what happened that morning right away, but with the Langley Family present, she couldn’t open her mouth.

Meanwhile, Leona Sheridan had successfully provoked Victor Langley’s anger.

But the moment Victor Langley’s gaze fell on Juliana Jacobs, a look of great astonishment flashed in his eyes.

How can it be her?

No, it’s not her.

But she looks too much like her when she was young...

Victor Langley’s thoughts almost got scrambled.

With her husband supporting her presence, Leona Sheridan was about to erupt again, intending to have Juliana Jacobs thrown out by her secretaries.

Then, from beside her, the man spoke in a slightly reluctant tone as he returned to his senses, "This isn’t a place Mrs. Grant should be. However, my wife’s behavior was also inappropriate earlier, and I extend my apologies. Perhaps you should leave for today, and I will ensure you receive an explanation later."

As the voice fell, Leona Sheridan almost couldn’t believe her ears, shocked as she looked at her husband.

Even Elias Langley instinctively glanced at his elder brother.

Victor Langley was reasonable, so Juliana Jacobs was easy to deal with.

She nodded, "Please don’t call me Mrs. Grant, my last name is Jacobs, and I’m Aetherflame’s technical director. I came today to deliver an agreement to President Langley. But now, it seems, Blackstar and Aetherflame should not cooperate."

Having said that, she turned and left.

The crowd dispersed immediately.

"Husband, if you let that wench go just like this, where’s the face of the Langley Family?" Leona Sheridan said unwillingly.

Victor Langley collected his thoughts, looked down at her, "How powerful can she be to make Mrs. Langley act so indelicately?"

One sentence left Leona Sheridan at a loss for words.

Subsequently, Victor Langley looked at Elias Langley, "Didn’t you say the Sinclair Family’s precious daughter’s blood test materials appeared in Kenton. How’d your investigation go?"
