My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 136

The two arrived at the front hall, and the people around them walked over to toast them.

Barely a few came in mr. Rogers Sr.

was already a little tipsy.

Shawn looked on coldly at his trembling hand, yet he did not say anything, nor did he stop him.

mr. Rogers Sr., however, noticed that and quickly brought Shawn over to Jared as he said, "mr. Johnston, this is my youngest son, Shawn.

Shawn, say hi to mr. Johnston!"

Shawn had noticed this man a long time ago.

Since the beginning, there were more people on that person's side than those around the birthday star, mr. Roger Sr., and he did not know who that person was.

When he heard mr. Rogers Sr.

introduced the man like this, Shawn immediately responded," Hello, mr. Johnston.

Thank you for taking the time to attend our humble banquet.

It is an honor!"

Jared looked at that well-rehearsed yet still distant platitudes with not many emotions in his eyes.

"mr. Rogers Sr., It's about time now.

If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first.'

The Johnstons were sitting opposite him, and Murphy was eyeing Jared all this while.

Seeing how popular the latter was, Murphy was close to crushing the glass in his hand.

He then pretended to act like he had just seen Jared as he got up.

"Jared, long time no see.

I never thought that you're still as uncouth as usual.".

They were both members of the Johnston family, and he was the elder cousin, yet he was nowhere as popular as Jared was, and that was a tough pill to swallow. Max frowned as he looked at Murphy.

He then turned toward Jared, and sure enough, a layer of frost seemed to have formed on Jared's face.

The chill emanating from him was terrifying.

His pair of crystal-clear eyes had a totally indifferent look in them.

As he looked at Murphy before him, his eyes were like the endless night, his thoughts indiscernible.

"Murphy, I really did not expect you to show your face in front of me."

As he said that, Jared's lips suddenly raised as his entire expression changed, with a faint tinge of puzzlement in it.

"Does your right hand not hurt anymore?".

When Murphy heard that, his eyes shrank by reflex as his hand holding the wine glass convulsed, causing it to shatter against the ground.

Each piece of the glass fragments reflected the horror in his eyes,

'It was him!'

Murphy trembled as he pointed at Jared.

"It... it was you!"

Jared stood up gracefully, a layer of frost seemingly formed in his eyes.

He had the most

handsome of faces, yet he was nothing but a demon in Murphy's eyes, causing the latter to stagger backward and wish that he could just flee.

"Jared, just you wait! My brother is coming back to San Joto soon, and he'll teach you a lesson then!"

As if not even hearing the threats, Jared picked up his coat as he did not even deign to cast a glance at Murphy.

He then turned to mr. Rogers Sr.

and nodded slightly.

"I wish you a long and prosperous life.

I'll take my leave now."

When Shawn saw that Jared did not seem to even look at him, he clenched his fist as a dark current formed in his eyes. mr. Rogers Sr.

looked at Jared.

He wanted to say something but stopped. Suddenly a familiar voice came from behind.

"mr. Johnston, you are sure in a hurry."

Shawn looked over and was taken aback.

The person who appeared was extremely handsome and gentle, and who could it be but Harvey.

Beside him was mr. Wyance, and at this moment, he was nodding and greeting people who recognized him. mr. Rogers Sr.

let out a smile.

"Master Harvey, mr. Wyance.

Both of you have come."
