Fan Husband 205

Chapter205 

The man still felt unsatisfied, tilted his head slightly, and asked, “Ms. Pierce, I hope you don’t mind me asking. Your initial 

screening results were so good, did Mr. Thorton help you get in through the back door?” 

“Geoffrey, clean up your mouth for me!” If it weren’t for the fact 

that they were in public, Jorge would have slammed the table 

and cursed right then and there, but at this moment he could 

only lower his voice and threaten. 

Geoffrey Wilcox said, “Jorge, why are you so excited? It’s only 

been a few days and you’re already so close with your 

colleagues? Or maybe you…” 

I wanted to say something, but ended up making everyone’s 

imagination run wild, which led to a burst of laughter. 

The other tables didn’t know what we were talking about, they 

just saw us laughing and thought we were having a good time, 

thinking it was a harmonious atmosphere. 

Adelaide had one hand on Jorge, and the other hand took out 

her phone. 

Seeing her silent without explaining anything, Geoffrey 

thought he had hit the nail on the head. He joked, “Ms. Pierce, 

 

don’t play with your phone, chatting is much more fun.” 

“Yeah, I can chat. But what you just said made me a little nervous. I have to personally call our boss and ask.” Adelaide said without changing her expression. 

“What’s up?” Geoffrey’s back straightened involuntarily, his gaze fixed on Adelaide’s phone. 

Adelaide raised an eyebrow and said seriously, “Didn’t Mr. Wilcox say that this time’s competition event, my boss let me in through the back door? This is not a small matter, it seriously concerns the reputation and integrity of me and my boss. The 

news is definitely not groundless, Mr. Wilcox, please make sure 

to tell my boss where you heard it from later.“‘ 

All of a sudden, the few people who were still laughing turned 

their heads back, too scared to laugh and even more scared to 

look over. 

Geoffrey was fidgeting and looking really nervous from the 

start. “I, I can’t remember where I heard it from. Or, maybe I 

misheard it.” 

“Miss Adelaide, did you mishear me?” Mr. Wilcox scoffed, “You 

can’t just accuse me like that. It seems like you’re deliberately 

trying to tarnish my reputation. This is our first meeting, you 

shouldn’t hold such a grudge against me. Think carefully about 

where you heard it from.” 

 

After saying that, she was about to tap on the screen. 

Geoffrey was so scared that he grabbed Adelaide’s arm and said, 

“Ms. Pierce, I was drunk and said the wrong thing.” 

Adelaide looked down, smirked, and said, “Can you handle it 

after drinking too much?” 

“Um… no.” 

The next second, Jorge got up and took his hands off Adelaide’s 

arm, “Ms. Pierce, sit in my seat!” 

Adelaide looked timidly and said, “Thank you, Mr. Harper.” 

The two switched seats, and Jorge still held onto Geoffrey’s 

hand. People at other tables looked over, and from the looks of 

it, anyone could guess what was going on. 

At one point, people started giving Geoffrey dirty looks. 

Geoffrey blushed and said, “No, I’m not!” 

Jorge shook off his claws, “What do you mean, wasn’t it you 

who just said you were drunk? Wasn’t it you who grabbed Ms. 

Pierce’s arm and wouldn’t let go? I’ll be watching you, if you 

dare to gossip and get physical again, I’ll report you to the 

organizers right away.” 

“You two are ruthless enough!” Geoffrey gritted his teeth. 

 

Adelaide gave him a look and when she saw he was about to 

change seats, she said, “Mr. Wilcox, I haven’t made the call yet, 

why are you running?” 

Geoffrey’s face froze, and he turned pale. “I didn’t mean to say I 

misheard.” 

“If you mishear, you just start talking? Do you think this is your 

mouth’s territory?” Jorge snapped at him. 

“I…I…” Geoffrey was at a loss for words. 

Adelaide scanned the table and said, “What you just said, a third 

of the people at this table heard it. By leaving like this, aren’t 

you just making the rumor about me true? Mr. Wilcox, the 

second round of the game hasn’t even started yet, is it necessary 

to frame me like this?”
