"What can possibly be more important than our wedding? Besides, no matter how important the thing you need to handle is, shouldn't you still prioritize me first since we've already made an appointment to meet from yesterday?" Jean asked.

"Jean, stop it. I really have something to deal with. Why don't you go see the wedding planners yourself?" Terence said rather impatiently and then hung up without waiting for her answer.

Jean stared at her phone screen in astonishment. Resentment started to surge inside her heart.

She really wanted to call him again and questioned him further. After hesitating for a long time, however, she finally forced herself to believe what he said.

She forced herself to believe that he was really busy and wasn’t just making things up to avoid her.

"Maybe Terence really has something to deal with," she mumbled, trying to comfort herself.

In the evening, George arrived at the bar

pon seeing that the call was from George, she quickly picked it up. "George, how is it going? Is everything going well with Barry?"

"There's no problem so far. I just finished talking with him, but..." George stopped.

"What's wrong?" Jean asked. "Just say it outright. Don't just hem and haw."

"Barry offered me a project, but the amount of money needed for the initial investment is really huge. I couldn't make the call, so I called you," George said.

"No matter how much money it'll cost us, you have to get the project," Jean said gravely. "You've just come back, so you don't really understand. Every project that comes from Barry is very profitable. Since there's such a good opportunity now, you mustn't let it go."

"Well..." George frowned. In the beginning, he still had some doubts over Barry. Now that Jean personally acknowledged Barry's credibility, the doubts in his heart finally started to abate.
