Gina Lopez turned to look at Emily Berns, gave a slight smile, and said, "Yes, thank you for taking care of James Brown during this time."
"I should be the one thanking you; you always helped me take care of James Brown before."
Both of them were smiling, but their words carried a tense undertone, and John Brown secretly lamented in his heart.
"You actually arrived earlier than me." The sound of Lucy Campbell’s voice broke the awkward atmosphere at once.
"Lucy, how come you’re here in person?" Gina Lopez immediately greeted Lucy Campbell.
Lucy Campbell chuckled and said, "If I didn’t come, I was afraid you all might fight, so I came to help out."
Gina Lopez felt a little embarrassed and said, "That won’t happen."
Emily Berns sweetly smiled and said, "I wouldn’t be so uncivilized."
With Lucy Campbell present, the atmosphere finally eased, and everyone began to greet John Brown. Melody Yoody gave John Brown a big wink; she’s always had a rather firm personality and has consistently been dissatisfied with someone like John Brown.
Sunny Nguyen merely nodded to John Brown; her relationship with him is much simpler, having never asked for much, and she didn’t want to put Gina Lopez in a difficult position. With them around, she actively maintained her distance from John Brown.
Sarah Utah affectionately called out James Brown and then stepped aside, although her eyes kept fixed on him. No woman with a complex relationship with him has low status or standing; she knows she can’t be with James Brown, yet she can’t control her feelings for him.
Emily Jenkins pursed her lips in greeting James Brown, wearing an amused expression—of everyone here, she is the most straightforward and happiest; she even gave James Brown a teasing wink.
Emily Lopez directly came over to pull James Brown’s hand, pouted, and said, "Hey Brother-in-law, you haven’t gone home for so long. Have you decided not to?" She’s the only one in this setting who can openly act cutesy with him.
John Brown apologized and said, "I’m doing this for the child, right?"
"Where’s the little darling, then?" Emily Lopez looked around.
Emily Lopez hurriedly said, "Then quickly pick him up; I really want to see if our family’s little darling is truly adorable or not."
Charlotte, at this moment, snorted and said, "What do you mean your family’s little darling? That’s Big Brother and Big Sister Grace’s child."
Among these people, Charlotte is fully supportive of Emily Berns; firstly, she’s a fan of Emily Berns, and secondly, Emily Berns didn’t oppose her being with John Brown. In her eyes, anyone competing with Emily Berns for John Brown is an enemy.
Emily Lopez rolled her eyes at Charlotte and said, "That’s my brother-in-law’s child, so it’s naturally also ours."
Linda Campbell came over to smooth things out, saying, "Alright, we’re too conspicuous here; we should be going."
This group of beauties did indeed attract a lot of attention, so they headed towards the parking lot immediately. Linda Campbell brought a stretch Lincoln today; everyone climbed in without crowding, leaving the car they brought to be driven away by the bodyguard Linda Campbell brought.
All told, ten people were seated inside, nine beauties and only one man, John Brown. With the door closed, the car was instantly filled with fragrance, making John Brown feel like he’s in F Region.
Being with so many beauties usually counts as a blessing for a man, but John Brown was feeling like he’s sitting on needles. The most unexpected presence was Melody Yoody; she didn’t know that Gina Lopez and Melody Yoody had already formed an alliance, so he feared with Melody Yoody’s personality, one intolerant of nonsense, seeing others closely linked to him, wouldn’t she just stir up trouble?
