My Baby’s Daddy

Chapter 2015

Jared took the glass of red wine from the waiter and handed a glass of juice to the girl next to him. At that moment,

a girl in the nearby crowd with two young men immediately locked her eyes on the man sitting elegantly on the

couch. Her gaze showed a hint of surprise as she looked at the woman beside him.

She murmured in her native language, “Not bad. I wasn’t expecting such competition.” But even so, she found it

more interesting. The stronger her opponent was, the happier she became.

She believed in her ability, but it wasn’t just for fun this time. She was trying to find a strong husband for her

father’s inheritance. Since her father had no sons and only one daughter, her grandfather favored her uncle, who

had three sons but was incompetent.

Therefore, as long as she could bring back an influential son-in-law to the family, she could secure her father’s

inheritance, and Jared was perfect for her.

“Miss Quins, may I offer you another drink?” A young man beside her tried to please Hannie, who was known as

Hogland’s first lady. Many men wanted to marry her.

However, they did not know that Hannie was not coming for them. “No, thank you. I need to greet other guests,”

she said as she picked up her red wine and headed toward Jared. She wore a gold evening dress and looked

seductive as she sashayed.

As she walked toward Jared step by step, Ellen quickly noticed her. This young girl emitted an aggressive aura,

which forced her to take notice.

“Hi, Young Master Tillman. Good evening.” Hannie greeted in less-than-perfect English. Jared’s gaze fell on her, and

he narrowed his eyes slightly. He asked in a cold voice, “Who are you?”

“Do you really have such a bad memory? I’m. Hannie, and we spoke on the phone yesterday!” Her smile was full of

charm. “You are indeed forgetful!”

“Is anything the matter?” He had an icy expression, and he sounded annoyed. Hannie’s enthusiasm was dampened

by his gaze. She never thought that her polite greeting would be met with such coldness.

“No, I wish you a pleasant evening.” Hannie left cleverly, not realizing how she had offended Jared. She only wanted

to say hello, after all. After Hannie left, Jared turned to Ellen, looking more cautious than before. “Don’t

misunderstand. I don’t even know her.”

Ellen could see Hannie trying to seduce Jared, just like the text messages she sent last night. She realized then that

she needed to fight for and protect what belonged to her, including her man.

Although encountering such a situation as Jared’s girlfriend could be frustrating and annoying, Ellen realized that

she couldn’t avoid it. Instead, she needed to face it head-on and make the other person back down.

“I’m not angry.” Ellen smiled. “I can tell that the interest isn’t mutual, so I don’t mind.” Hearing her words, Jared felt

relieved and. touched. The feeling of being trusted was. worth more than a thousand words.

“I’ll take you to meet some elders.” He reached out to her. Ellen’s heart skipped a beat; this meant that he would

publicly announce their relationship within his circle, which was nerve-wracking.

The elders were successful businessmen who had watched Jared grow up. They were friends of his father and had

worked under him, but now, they had made a name for themselves in the business world.

“Jared, this beautiful lady is your girlfriend, right?” a wealthy middle-aged woman said. As a woman, she could tell

that a man introducing someone in this situation would usually introduce their girlfriend and not just a female

companion.
