Chapter 25 - Chapter 25: Charles Wellington threatens Sara Owen.

"I got it! It must be Gerald!"

"Definitely Gerald. After finding out that he was tricked by Kenneth Reed, he felt guilty and contacted Michael Reed through his father's connections" Gwen Ryder said suddenly.

Yvonne Logan nodded.

"Yes, that's what I think too."

But Sara Owen shook her head.

"The Reed family is a powerful and influential family that radiates throughout the province. With the power of Gerald's father, he can at most climb up to the relationship of Michael Reed's nephews. It's unlikely that he can invite Michael Reed himself."

Sara Owen directly denied this possibility.

Yvonne Logan and Gwen Ryder had been staying in Orange county and perhaps did not understand the influence of the Reed family. But Sara often interacted with powerful and influential people, and she clearly knew more about the Reed family in Orange county. Especially the old man of the Reed family, Mr Samuel Reed, who was not only a veteran in the circle of big shots in the entire province, but even had military connections in the capital.

Being the head of such a powerful family, even the mayor of Orange county city, would not dare to say that he could invite him, let alone Gerald Wayne.

Like who the f***k is Gerald Wayne?

"If it's not Gerald, who else could it be?"

Gwen and Yvonne became even more puzzled.

Finally, their eyes all fell on Sara Owen.

"Sara, tell us honestly, did you help secretly?" Gwen Ryder asked.

"Did you go to ask Grandpa Owen?" Yvonne also asked.

Sara's grandfather was a famous professor at the Political and Law University in the capital, and his students were all over the country.

Infact the mayor of Orange county city was actually a student of Grandpa Owen. So, if it wasn't Gerald Wayne, it could only be Sara Owen.

Sara chuckled bitterly and said.

"Why are you all guessing randomly? My grandfather is only interested in academic research and doesn't care about anything else. It's useless to ask him for help."

This statement made Yvonne and the others even more confused.

Gerald's father didn't have enough face to ask Michael Reed for help, and although Sara's face was big enough, she never intervened in these matters.

"This is strange."

"Who could it be?"

"Last time at the Luxe lounge, I felt like someone was helping us, and it's the same this time."

Yvonne Logan thought for a long time but couldn't come up with an answer. Even Gwen Ryder found it unbelievable. In this day and age, is there really someone who does good deeds without leaving a name?

Only Sara Owen looked at Charles Wellington, who was eating with his head down, and smiled meaningfully.

"Yvonne, don't you think it's your fianceé who's helping you?"

"Fianceé?" Yvonne was stunned and didn't react for a moment.

It wasn't until Sara Owen continued that she understood.

"Don't you remember the day at the hotel when we saw your fianceé and Mr Reed entering the hotel together?"

"And your fianceé also came to luxe lounge last time. Maybe he saved us too."

"Isn't that right, Charles?" Sara's eyes turned to him, and her beautiful eyes curved like a crescent moon.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Charles, who had just taken a sip of his soup, almost sprayed it out.

At that moment, he finally realized that the pretty girl with a mole on her chest was referring to him.

Charles Wellington had forgotten that he was Yvonne Logan's fianceé.

He glared fiercely at Sara Owen, thinking that she must have done it on purpose to tease him. He had explicitly told her to keep it a secret, as he didn't want Yvonne Logan to find out. He knew that if she did, she would pester him endlessly, just like Melissa Quinton had. He didn't want to deal with another troublesome woman like her.

He just wanted to repay his debt of gratitude and leave the Logan family as soon as possible.

"Fianceé?" Gwen Ryder was initially confused.

It wasn't until she noticed Sara's gaze towards Charles Wellington that she exclaimed.

"Oh my god, you're not talking about this foolish country bumpkin, are you?"

"It's him, a poor boy from the countryside. How could he possibly impress the Reed family?" Sara Owen said with a smirk.

"If he had that kind of ability, pigs would fly" Gwen Ryder sneered.

Yvonne Logan glanced at Charles Wellington, who was eating with his mouth full and covered in oil, and shook her head in disgust. She also thought it was impossible for him to be her fianceé.

But Sara Owen just smiled without saying a word, her beautiful eyes fixed on Charles Wellington.

The meaningful smile seemed to expose all of Charles's disguises.

Clang!

Suddenly, a loud sound was heard!

At this moment, Charles Wellington threw his cutlery to the ground and pretended to bend down to pick them up.s he lowered his head close to Sara Owen.

He then whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"If you dare to talk about my business, I will reveal the fact that you have a sexy beauty mark on your chest."

Sara Owen trembled at that moment, her pretty face burning like fire with shyness and resentment.

Her gaze towards Charles was full of accusation, as if she was saying that he was a bad guy.

"That's right, that's right. I'm just a country bumpkin. How could I have such skills?"

"It must be the credit of your old classmates. Isn't it right, Miss Owen?"

Charles Wellington sat back in his seat, looking at Sara Owen with a face full of teasing.

Sara Owen dared not tease Charles Wellington anymore and could only nod in agreement.

After all, the fact that she was could be exposed by Charles Wellington could not be known to her sisters, especially Yvonne Logan, since Charles Wellington was still her fianceé. If Yvonne Logan found out about this, how could she face her sisters in the future?

"Heh, you have some self-awareness" Gwen Ryder shook her head and laughed, looking at Charles Wellington with an expression of looking at an idiot. For so many years, she had never seen anyone being called a country bumpkin and still laughing so happily.

Yvonne Logan also looked speechless and disgusted. She couldn't understand what Charles was laughing at. Among the people present, only Sara and Charles himself could understand.

Because it was a secret that belonged only to the two of them.

"But what Sara said is true. Although the Wayne family has some abilities, they are clearly not big enough to invite Michael Reed. Otherwise, if they really had such great abilities, how could Kenneth Reed dare to team up with Marcel Tristan Ridge to cheat Yvonne and her father out of one million dollars?"

Gwen Ryder and the others were not fools. After connecting many things together, they increasingly felt that this matter was definitely not Gerald Wayne's credit.
