Chapter 360: Chapter 360 Not From the Same World_1

“All right.”

Mick Simmons felt a surge of excitement, but did not dare to go against Greg Jensen’s words, and sat quietly beside him, carefully making conversation.

After a while, Louisa Burley and Vivian Shimpson, who had gone to the restroom, walked in.

Seeing Greg Jensen, Louisa Burley’s eyes instantly brightened, and she smiled, “Brother Jensen, happy New Year.”

“Haha, happy New Year. Come sit over here, I’ll take your pulse.”

Greg Jensen smiled, motioning her to sit beside him, then reached out and placed his hand on her wrist, beginning to feel for her pulse.

Vivian Shimpson frowned slightly and muttered, “Always taking the chance to get close, really…”

“Vivian, don’t talk nonsense.”

Louisa Burley’s face turned red, and she spat, turning her head toward Greg Jensen, only to see that he did not even lift an eyelid, which made her feel inexplicably conflicted.

Vivian Shimpson, feeling ignored, became even more annoyed and couldn’t help snorting coldly:

“Greg Jensen, don’t think just because you run some shabby restaurant and made a little money, you can get close to Louisa.

Let me tell you, no matter how much money you make, you are not from the same world as us.”

“Uh…”

Mick Simmons’ face registered shock as he glanced at Vivian Shimpson, then at the composed Greg Jensen, suddenly experiencing a very strange feeling.

Is this woman okay?

Whether it’s the renamed Peach Blossom Group, Jamae Herbs Factory, or the Peach Blossom Farm, not to mention those herb and vegetable bases in Peach Blossom Village.

Any of these things, if just mentioned, are money-making ventures. Does this woman not know about any of them?

Yes, surely it’s because Mr. Jensen is too low-key!

Compared to Mr. Jensen, I am really far behind. This is the difference in disposition. Otherwise, how could he become a semi-Grandmaster at his young age?

Mick Simmons felt he had learned something and couldn’t help but cast an admiring glance toward Greg Jensen.

Greg Jensen looked up at Vivian Shimpson and said indifferently, “You’re right, we are indeed not from the same world.”

Vivian Shimpson thought he had come to a realization and couldn’t help but sneer, “Then you’d better stay away from Louisa in the future.”

“Vivian, what nonsense are you talking about?”

Louisa Burley quickly pulled her aside, whispering words of persuasion.

Mick Simmons watched, struggling to contain his laughter to the point that his face turned red.

Ignorance truly is fearless!

If Vivian Shimpson knew that Greg Jensen was a semi-Grandmaster, would she still have the guts to say these things?

Mick Simmons shook his head and chuckled softly, even if Vivian Shimpson knew, she probably wouldn’t understand what being a semi-Grandmaster meant.

Adrian Wright and Spencer Burley both looked somewhat uneasy.

Everyone had gathered to have a meal together, and yet Vivian Shimpson, using her status as the young Miss Shimpson, couldn’t stop causing trouble.

Vivian Shimpson was indeed annoying, but with Louisa Burley there, Greg Jensen couldn’t be bothered to stoop to her level. He glanced over the others and said with a smile:

“All right, let’s eat. I’ll toast to you all first.”

Mick Simmons, upon hearing this, quickly stood up, raising his glass and saying, “Ay, Mr. Jensen, how can I let you toast to me? Let me toast to you instead.”

Among those present, except for Jaden Ford, the others were unaware of Mick Simmons’s identity.

Vivian Shimpson, seeing Mick Simmons’s sycophantic behavior, couldn’t help but curl her lip and muttered, “Acting like a sycophant at his age, doesn’t he feel ashamed!”

Upon hearing this, Mick Simmons’s expression darkened, and a hint of anger grew within him as he said coolly:

“Mr. Jensen isn’t bothered with you because he’s a man of good cultivation and doesn’t stoop to argue with you.

However, my patience isn’t as good, so you’d best show me some respect.”

“You…”

Just as Vivian Shimpson was about to blow her fuse, Louisa Burley quickly held her back and whispered, “Vivian, say less, will you? Mr. Simmons was brought over by Tracy.”

Vivian glanced at Jaden Ford, then snorted coldly at Louisa, “I’m giving you face, not that I’m scared of him.”

Louisa could only offer a wry smile, “Yeah, you’re not scared of anyone, okay? Can we just eat now?”

With that little episode, the meal turned out to be quite a bore.

After dinner, Greg followed Mick Simmons to the Simmons family in the provincial city.

Watching Greg and Mick leave, Vivian couldn’t help but ask, “Who was that middle-aged man just now?”

“Seems like someone from the Simmons family in the provincial city?” Louisa said.

Hearing this, Vivian was taken aback and exclaimed in shock, “The Simmons family in the provincial city? That can’t be possible. Why would someone from the Simmons family want to curry favor with Greg?”

“I… I’m not quite sure about that,” Louisa admitted.

Vivian pursed her lips and huffed, “You must have been fooled by him. He can’t be from the Simmons family.”

She was convinced that there was no reason or need for someone from the Simmons family to cozy up to Greg, so Mick must be fake.

At this moment, Jaden Ford, who had been chatting with Spencer Burley, suddenly turned cold, looked at Vivian, and said indifferently, “Miss Shimpson, you shouldn’t judge people and situations you know nothing about. Otherwise, it won’t be good not only for you but potentially for the Shimpsons as well.”

“What do you mean by that?” Vivian asked with a stern face.

Jaden Ford, usually known for her gentle and virtuous demeanor, now had a face that seemed rather icy as she said plainly, “Exactly what it sounds like.”

Feeling a bit awkward, Louisa quickly interjected, “Alright, Vivian, let’s drop it. Weren’t you going shopping? Let’s go.”

With that, she gave Jaden an apologetic look and then pulled Vivian away from Dreamscape Garden.

Once outside, Vivian couldn’t help but complain, “Louisa, you’re just too soft-hearted and don’t know how to say no.”

“For people like Greg, you should outright reject him and not give him the slightest chance.”

“And what if you get too close to Greg and those people find out? How will you explain yourself then?”

“Alright, alright, I got it.”

Louisa knew Vivian meant well, so she didn’t say much and changed the subject, “Hey, what has your brother been busy with lately?”

“He’s busy negotiating a new contract with the Peach Blossom Group, oh right, it’s Peach Blossom Group now.”

Mentioning Peach Blossom Group, Vivian’s spirits lifted, and she said with a sense of mystery, “Louisa, have you heard? The Lins must have offended someone. Not only were their assets seized, but their family has also suffered.”

“Who is it, so powerful that not even the Lins could match?” Louisa asked, somewhat shocked.

Vivian’s eyes sparkled with a hint of admiration, “They say the person is in his twenties and also has the last name High.”

“Because of a grudge against the Lins, he found a way to bring them down and took over the Lin Group.”

Louisa couldn’t help but glance sideways, “That powerful?”

“Of course.”

Vivian looked as if she shared in the glory, as though the person who had brought down the Lins was her.

“Tsk tsk, I’ve always disliked the Lins. So what if they had some money, they really saw themselves as the local tyrant of Jamae City?”

“Looks like they kicked the iron plate this time, ending up with their family ruined and people in despair. That person is too awesome, makes me want to meet him.”

“I think you just want to marry him,” Louisa teased.

Vivian candidly responded, “Such a person is a rare gem. As long as he doesn’t look down on me, I’d naturally be willing to marry him.”

Louisa covered her mouth and laughed, “What if he turns out to be an ugly freak?”
