Lara, as soon as she heard this question, her expression slightly changed, but she controlled herself.
But Jack noticed that change in her expression immediately and felt there was something wrong with this matter and waited for her answer.
Lara looked at both Emily and Jack for some time, and her face once again bloomed into a smile.
"Jack, my son is going to study abroad, so my husband and I are trying to gather money to support him, but it's still not enough. So we decided to sell this store and support his future with this money."
Lara started to lie through her teeth while thinking, I thought that this bitch Emily is the one going to buy this supermarket and the whole problem will fall on her head.
Since childhood, she had overshadowed me in everything. In beauty, she is top; in studies, she is top; even in choosing a husband, she chose the best, both rich and good in nature.
Hatred and jealousy filled her heart all these years; why did every good thing belong to her? When finally there appeared a chance for both solving her problem and her revenge.
But today's scene was not what she expected. Even though Emily is sharp and alert in doing business, that's for outsiders; I can easily make her decision favorable for me. Inside her heart, there was a load of venom ready at any time to trap Emily in a dire situation.
Before meeting Jack, Emily had already decided to buy this store for a good price and help her friend.
But suddenly, Jack's arrival in her life helped her escape this biggest trap set by her best friend that would destroy her life.
Hearing Lara's explanation, Jack didn't believe a single word; he snorted in his heart.
But he didn't say anything in front of Lara. On his face, a bright and shiny flattering smile appeared.
"Lara, I'm very satisfied with your store, but I have some other good options like this in my hands to buy."
"I will inform you after we come to a decision." Then he signaled Emily to follow him.
Lara, seeing that her well-drawn plan had started to collapse, immediately said to Emily,
"Emily, what is this? You said you would buy this store from me before, but now you introduced someone new. Now he is also rejecting the deal."
"What is happening here? I was holding this store for you because you are my good friend. I thought this good deal should not go to outsiders, so until now, even though lots of good offers came, because of you I rejected all of them.
Now suddenly, you brought your new friend here and are insulting our years of good friendship like this." Lara slowly started emotionally blackmailing Emily.
Nearby, Jack heard her full load of crap. His ears couldn't hear any more of this fake friendship drama shit.
Emily was about to say something, but Jack held her hand and signaled her to stop, because if he let her speak now, he would have to watch this drama once again.
Emily, seeing Jack's signal and confused, wanted to calm her friend first, but she stayed silent.
Jack looked at Lara and said, "Lara, are you compelling us to buy your property?"
"Since the start, it was me who was going to buy your supermarket. Emily was the one recommending your property to me every time we met. If you shut your mouth now without saying anything, I will definitely buy this property on the consideration of Emily."
"Seeing you panicking like this, I think there is more than meets the eye in this matter. And if you do that emotional blackmailing thing one more time, I will make sure no one will buy this property."
After saying everything he wanted, he held Emily's hand and walked away without looking back.
Lara, who was just seen through fully by Jack, stood there for some time. As she was about to react to Jack's scolding, both of them had already walked away.
She thought to herself, who is this young man? He was just here for 5 minutes, and he saw through her well planned trap, trampled on it, and left just like that.
Emily, whose hand was still held by Jack even after they arrived at the parking lot, looked at Jack, couldn't hold back any longer, and asked,
"Jack, what happened? Why did you act like that with Lara? She is my best friend since childhood. What is that about? There is more than meets the eye in this matter."
Emily, who was about to ask more questions, stopped herself after seeing Jack give her a stern look.
Jack looked at the naive woman in front of him and thought that all that fierceness was for outsiders; for her family and venomous close friends like this, she let her guard down easily.
But Jack didn't explain anything, only said, "I will investigate this matter further, then I will give you an answer."
Since she had already called him husband and become his woman, he would not let her fall into any difficult situation.
His hunch would always be at least 90 percent correct in this kind of situations. There was something wrong with that fat woman.
After that, he drove the car to Emily's home, and both of them entered inside the house.
Emily went to the kitchen to prepare lunch for both of us. Since I decided to stay here, Emily always started to put more thought into cooking, to satisfy his big appetite.
While Jack took his phone and messaged a location and details of the supermarket to a number,
and immediately called that number,
he immediately heard a scolding as soon as the line was picked up:
"Bastard, you are still alive. I thought you were dead or something. Where have you been these days?"
Jack's mouth twitched slightly.
