Chapter 48 He Wanted Everything

• The gentleman was Isabella’s cousin, Alvin Lopez! Jean asked for his help to introduce him to Nancy. Jean answered calmly, "It's okay; I’ll be waiting elsewhere."
• Alvin smiled politely and suggested, "Actually, if you don’t mind, you can come over to my office to have a seat. I’ve prepared the best tea; do I have the honor to have you taste it with me? But if you have things to attend to, please do." He spoke humbly. The Lopez family might have been influential in Kingsview, but they were nothing compared to the Beauvort family. Hence, the entitled Alvin was humble in front of Jean. Luckily, Jean was not arrogant; he nodded as he thought that he could do some work in his office too. "Thanks for having me." He replied.
• "It’s my honor." So Alvin brought him upstairs. Joanna wanted to tag along, but Ian stopped her. "Mr. Beauvort likes to be quiet; you should stay here." She looked at Jean disappearing into the corner, and she pursed her lips, unwillingly giving in to Ian’s words.
