Chapter 200
As if he sensed Amelia's sincerity, Jack nodded and then said, "But I hit Alex last time. Don't you blame me for that?"
Amelia looked at Jack, and she suddenly blushed. She lowered her head and said, "No. He was asking for it."
Jack nodded. "Thanks for understanding. But I have something to attend to, so I'll be going now. Please excuse me."
Seeing that Jack was about to leave, Amelia felt a little reluctant to part with him. She wanted to stop him from leaving so that she could chat with him for a little longer, but she swallowed the words and didn't say anything.
Amelia watched as Jack walked further away, feeling an inexplicable sense of sadness.
She recalled the times she had spent with Jack. She remembered how they would go to the library to study, take a brisk walk through the park, and head to the cafeteria for food. Once, when she was sick, he had run so fast that he had lost his shoes just to bring her to the hospital, and she also remembered the chicken soup that he had prepared for her.
Her mind was filled with Jack's voice, face, and smile.
His radiant smile and confident gaze just now suddenly reminded her of the phrase, "A smile so alluring that it can cause an empire's downfall." This phrase was usually used to describe women, but she thought that it fit Jack perfectly. The rightful source is ⓝovelFind.net
Seeing his resilience and strength, she suddenly felt as if she had truly gotten to know him. Perhaps he would never be defeated by hardships, and his happiness wouldn't depend on his external success. No matter what difficulties he faced, he would confront them with courage.
However, it felt like they were worlds apart despite being physically close to each other now. Their hearts were like two parallel lines. Although they could see each other, they would never be able to meet and feel a spark again.
As Jack walked into the corridor, he heard applause and cheers coming from another banquet hall. It seemed that the launch party for Feena's film crew had reached its climax.
Suddenly, footsteps echoed through the corridor, and Feena appeared. She was walking up the stairs with Eric Sullivan, a well-known director.
Just then, Feena noticed Jack, and there was a flicker of surprise in her eyes. She nodded at him before following the director to the summit's banquet hall.
In the hall where the IT summit was being held, the leaders' speeches had just ended, and everyone was free to enter into discussions. The tycoons were engaged in conversations as they looked for new business opportunities, and the atmosphere was lively and pleasant.
Eric led Feena and a group of dashing actors and actresses into the hall. Then, he looked around the room, and his gaze eventually fell on Jonathan.
Eric's face lit up with joy, and he quickly led Feena and the others to have a chat with Jonathan.
Not only was Jonathan one of the investors for their TV series, his father also held immense power. Naturally, Eric had to curry favor with him. If Jonathan was displeased, he might withdraw his investment-or even worse, make Eric's life difficult.
Jack followed behind them and walked into the lively banquet hall.
The mayor and the Lycan couple had disappeared after delivering their congratulatory speeches. But Jack didn't care, as he would only feel disgusted if the Lycan couple showed up in front of him.
