Chapter 1993: Chapter 2003: Using a Honey Trap on Someone This Ugly

The unique warmth of a man’s body transmitted from the wrist, along with the oppressive scent of masculine hormones. The maid’s ears flushed red involuntarily, and her heart began to pound intensely.

Just as she was filled with anticipation, a man’s cold and ruthless voice suddenly came from above her head, "Has the Habsden Family run out of people? Getting such an ugly woman to use a honey trap?"

Run out of people.

Such an ugly woman.

The sharp critique made the maid, whose heart was pounding just moments ago, turn alternately pale and flushed.

After all, she was a celebrated social butterfly in the circles, using her pure looks and devilish figure to conquer many second-generation heirs and tycoons.

It was the first time in her life that a man had unhesitatingly called her ugly!

And she could tell that he genuinely found her ugly!

He wasn’t deliberately saying she was ugly to insult her.

But this kind of insult was even more humiliating than an intentional insult!

"Young Master Lawrence? What are you saying? I don’t understand?" Unwilling to give up, she feigned innocence with her most alluring angle, her eyes blinking subtly to draw his attention to her most captivating feature.

However, her fantasy was beautiful, but the effect was awkward.

The hand gripping her wrist suddenly let go. The proud man disdainfully grabbed a tissue, wiping the coffee off the back of his hand, and at the same time, wiping his hand as if he’d touched something filthy, full of aversion. Then he squinted his eyes, swept an impatient glance at her, and said, "I thought you just found someone ugly, I didn’t expect to find someone with an intelligence problem."

It’s one thing to call her ugly, but to suggest she has an intelligence problem!

The maid’s feigned innocent pretty face completely twisted, just as she was about to retort.

At this moment, Edward Jackson’s voice came, "Alright, you can leave now."

As he finished speaking, he entered from the back of the reception room.

The maid saw him arrive, suppressed her anger, and quietly left.

The reception room was instantly left with only Edward Jackson and Baron Lawrence.

Edward Jackson was the same as always, giving off a gentle and approachable vibe at first glance, but on closer inspection, one would find the untouchable essence hidden beneath the approachable façade. He bore a slight resemblance to Enna Clark, but those tea-colored eyes of his were quite different, more exotic in a way. He seemed completely unfazed by the awkwardness of the earlier incident, sitting directly across from Baron Lawrence, summoning the servants to clean up the mess on the table and to bring in two freshly brewed cups of coffee.

When the coffee was served, he finally spoke leisurely, "That woman earlier was arranged by my mother. I personally think it’s pointless, but she insisted on trying it out. Can you understand an old lady’s concern, Young Master Lawrence?"

Baron Lawrence already knew that woman was a test. When she ’accidentally’ bumped into his arms, he had already realized it.

He initially considered going along with it to make a good impression in front of Old Madam Habsden. However, he overestimated himself; when she brought out a tissue and tried to touch his hand, he couldn’t resist the feeling of disgust and exposed the charade.

Now Edward Jackson straightforwardly informed him that it was Old Madam Habsden’s test. Even though he was impatient, he curbed his emotions and said, "I understand!"

As long as it didn’t force him and Enna Clark to break up, everything else could be negotiated!
