Chapter 326 What Does He See in Me

I exchanged numbers with Jack and looked at his solid black profile picture, feeling a bit puzzled.

Did aloot men use colors to express their emotions? So, did the black profile picture mean he was in a bad mood? But clearly, Jack didn't want to explains further and simply turned to leave. When Astrid returned to the dorm, she eyed me suspiciously.

"What happened between you two while I was out getting the report?"

Her eyes narrowed as she scrutinized me.

"Really?"

"I just woke up, and my vision was blurry. I didn't take a clear look and thought it was you!"

Astrid seemed to deflate a bit. "Then, it's settled. He must have been sent by my dad to keep an eye on me."

It wasn't until now that I realized she was sent abroad because of the intense infighting within the McLennon family.

Thad heard of the McLennon family, having attended a birthday banquet for Mr. McLennon Senior with Leonard. But after he suffered a heart attack, the family fell into chaos over inheritance disputes.

"At first, my dad just wanted me to focus on my studies, but after Grandpa died, he wouldn't let me return home. My brother has been working hard back at home. Don't you know him?"

question, I realized I had heard of Jack

However, since the McLennon and Harmon familles didn't have any business dealings and weren't in the same field, I only knew of him in passing Jack seemed quite low-key and rarely made any public appearance, so I had never met him. The thought that Jack might not be interested in ine made Astrid feel a bit disappointed.
