Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart
Chapter 778 Praise Me More

Marco's words amused Arthur. He said with a slightly regretful expression, "Marco, I am ashamed to say, I am a man with no vision. Career is not so important in my heart."

Marco hesitated for a moment because he had just said that men should have a bigger vision and focus on careers.

Arthur added, "My parents didn't have much foresight either. They never judged me for spending years specializing in medicine and expanding the hospitals."

The mayor's expression turned uglier. Arthur's words were an indirect hint to him that he had scolded the whole family.

Arthur's parents have a pivotal position in the medical profession, they are leaders in various professions, and the two never rested after retirement. They had been committed to improving the medical conditions in poor and backward areas of the country and even the world. They had received many national awards.

It was too disrespectful to judge their visions.

Marco felt speechless for a while. He didn't mean that the Hudgens family lacked vision, he was just trying to persuade Arthur to marry his daughter so they would build a business-politics bond, yet Arthur seized the weakness in his words and attacked him with it.

"Sorry, I used the wrong words. I didn't mean to say that you have no vision. Your family is dedicated to medicine, which is for the benefit of mankind. You guys have the biggest vision. Marco had to hurry up and make up for his words.

He had always felt that Arthur might be the best person to contact among the few of them. Julian needless to say, was very shrewd. An average person would have a hard time dealing with him. Ezra was very evil. He smiled all the time, but it was said that he had the most gloomy mind.

Phil was completely unapproachable. Who dares to provoke a top lawyer with a wise mind and great eloquence?

Arthur had always appeared to be focused on medicine. He looked somewhat detached from the business world, Marco thought that Arthur won't be difficult to deal with, yet Arthur gave him a dismount immediately.

"Oh yes, Mr. Peterson, I think there may be something you don't know very well." Arthur still looked gentle and courteous, but Marco didn't dare to look down on him anymore. He asked seriously, "What's the matter?"

Arthur went straight to the point, "My main purpose in Zoshalor was not to develop the branch hospital, but to pursue Jean."

The expression on Marco's face suddenly became complicated, Arthur had attacked him once with a hint, and this time he gave him a straight punch, he was a bit overwhelmed. Therefore, he could only laugh dryly, raise an eyebrow and say a word, "Oh?"

Marco had no idea that Arthur still had such a deep affection for Jean, he had investigated Arthur's love history, but there was no trace of Arthur and Jean falling in love. It showed that Arthur had been single for so many years.

He couldn't replace out anything because Arthur dated Jean abroad. Only close friends like Emilia, and Nina knew about it.

To outsiders, Arthur and Jean did not have any intersection.

"Jean and I met abroad. We were once together. I fell in love with her at first sight, and now I want her to be my wife. Arthur's brief words described his entanglement with Jean and showed his determination. "I'm sorry, but your daughter and I are impossible." Arthur again bluntly refused. He added quietly by the way, "I don't have a vision as big as you, Mr. Peterson. I can't hope to get an easy future by marriage." Arthur indirectly exposed Marco's ambition. He cared not for Judith's happiness, but for his career.

Marco was very embarrassed. He raised his wine glass and faked a smile, "Since this is the case, then forgive me for disturbing you today, I wish you and Ms. Hilgard a happy life." "Thank you," Arthur said a simple word.

The so-called lunch ended here, and Arthur politely got up to say goodbye and left the box without turning back. Marco leaned back on the back of the chair with a headache, raised his hand, and pinched his forehead to relieve it. He didn't know Arthur was so eloquent.

But he really wasn't willing to miss Arthur, who could help him break through the bottleneck of his career.

Is there any way to get Arthur involved with his daughter?

After Arthur left, he did not drive directly back to the company but went to Lorlene Jewelry for Jean.

Jean had just returned from home and was in a bad mood for being angry after arguing with her father.

She was somewhat surprised to see Arthur, "What are you doing here?"

She had been busy with her mother's thing in the morning. She hadn't had the time to contact Arthur yet. She didn't expect him to come to her first.

Arthur took her in his arms and whispered, "Marco invited me for lunch."

Jean raised an eyebrow, "He tried to persuade you?"

Jean was clever. She guessed Marco's intentions about Arthur.

Arthur said in a disdainful tone, "I don't know who gave him the confidence to think he could control me."

"He probably didn't expect that you wouldn't be impressed at all." Jean didn't know what was wrong with him, and as she said this, she smiled.

Well, her beloved man was not moved by the threat and temptation, it was indeed a sweet thing to make her smile.

Jean asked again, "Then how did you reply to him? Did he get angry?"

Arthur then described the conversation with Marco. Jean couldn't help but laugh after listening to it. "Arthur, I never knew you are so shrewd."

Arthur put his arm around Jean and laughed in a low voice, "Are you praising me or mocking me?"

"Praising you, of course," Jean was very sincere.

Truth be told, she really didn't know enough about Arthur before.

Before, she only knew that Arthur had achieved a lot in the field of medicine, and he was a prominent medical student in medical school abroad. Because of such an impression, she had always thought that Arthur was a scholar type of person.

Hearing his verbal battle with Marco today, Jean suddenly realized that the man next to her would never lose Julian in an argument.

"I'm a little flattered to get your praise." Arthur joked with her, "I think you need to praise me more in the future so I'll get used to it." "Stop dreaming!" Jean smiled and pushed him away.
