When Tarapassed by the

Tarxapproached. “Ladies, would you like something to drink??

“Mr. Famell is in the pool mom Tara had just taken someone there earlier.
Viola looked at Isabella, who gave a slight shake of her head
“Wher’s Lance Bener asked
“He’s also in the room next door, Tana replied
Thenchere’s Shawn? Isabella inquired.
Just as Tara was about to answer, she spotted Shawn striding over. She smiled at them and said, “Mr. Wilhelm is right here.”
Isabella and the other heiresses followed her gaze.
Shawn noticed them and walked over
One of the heiresses on the couch who had a crush on him could barely contain ber excitement.
Shawn asked Tara, “What’s going on?
Tara looked at the group of heiresses and smiled. “These ladies were looking for you”
Isabella was still studying Tara, thinking that the latter really didn’t seem interested in Jonah and the others at all.
Shawn immediately noticed Viola’s guilty expression and laww that they were up to no good.
“You may go,” he said to Jara
Tara nodded quickly. But before she could tum away, Terence called for her. So she buried off without looking back at the group.
Shawn withdrew his gaze and wamed them coldly, “If you have nothing better to do, go get a job. Don’t cause trouble on my turt
Habella laughed sheepishly “thawn, don’t be so harsh. We didn’t do anything to bec
Viola didn’t der make a single sound. She had always been afraid of this strict elder cousin
“Do whatever you want, but don’t interfere with the work of another.”

suwn, we won’t do it again We just wanted to see if that beautiful housekeeper had any ulterior motives toward you all
Shawn had known that the group of heiresses were playing such petty gates all along. He disapproved but noted that Tara hadn’t seemed wronged Sa, he figured
that they must have exercised some testraint
He shook his head helplessly. “Three had better not be a next time,“
The britesses quickly agreed.
After Shown left, Isabella said, “That housekeeper didn’t seem to be acting.”
She wondered if Tara peally wasn’t interested in Jonah and the others
Vala shooker head. “Shehus a good personality. I quite like hep.”
It was just that after staring at Tata fotolog.
could be entranced by bet beauty so much that one would lase
“You can’t like her. After all, Shawascolded us just now because of lier, She’s just a housekeeper. What’s wrong with asking her a few questions?”
Natalie Cain, win had a crush on Shaw, was displeased. Shown had spoken up for another woman.
Viola sighed. “Slawn beard you say that, his impression of you would worsen
Natalie pouted. “But I’m just telling the truth.”
Chousekeeper, no less! That made her feel deeply humiliated,
Vigla advised her, “I suggest you give up liking Shan to for someone else. You’re not really Shawn’stype“:
Then what is his type?–
The other heiresses also leaned in curiously
Viola thought for a moment.
shook her head. “Ldon’t think Shuwa has er been in a relationship. In any case, I’ve never heard of him liking anyone
Natalie relt relieved and more determined than ever to win Shawn over
But then Viola poured cold water on her hopes “However, I do know what kind of woman he doesn’t like exactly your type.”
Viola had spoken eamestly. The Wilhelm family’s rule was to never look down on arryone in a legitimate profession because only then told the family business thrive. Natalie’s mindset directly contradicted this principle
Natalie felt like her world was falling apart, and tears immediately welled up in her eyes.
Alarmed, Viola quickly waped bet tears and comforted her softly.
Isabella felt relieved that Tara wasn’t from a wealthy family. Because if the latter were a heiress, she would be able to manipulate countless heirs effortlessly. Not only would men fall for her, but even women couldn’t resist her beauty–especially those sparkling eyes of hers.
Isabella thought meeting Tara’s gaze was refreshing and uplifting because those beautiful eyes held no desire or impurities–just pure clarity.
In the next room, no sooner had Tara left than an heir beside Jonah began staring after her. It wasn’t just him several other influential heirs were also subtly observing Tara.
“Mr. Pearson, does that housekeeper have a boyfriend?
Lance paused mid–sip as Jonah replied, “I don’t know. Ask her yourself.”
Clyde Orville’s gaze followed Tara’s retreating figure with keen interest. He hadn’t known that such a rare beauty was hidden in this villa
Jeffrey Ford, the eldest son of the Ford family, chuckled when he heard Jonah’s icy tone. “Mr. Pearson, with such a heavenly beauty by your side, how can you remain so indifferent ?–
Clyde didn’t want anyone competing with him for Tara, especially not Jonah or Lance. So, he quickly changed the subject. “You’ve known him since childhood. When have you ever seen him show interest in any woman?”
Jeffrey also couldn’t understand Jonah’s indifference toward the opposite sex
“The day Jonah falls for a woman would be a miracle indeed. I wonder which extraordinary person will catch his attention,” Clyde added.
His words piqued everyone’s curiosity. They wondered what type of woman would be capable of capturing Jonah’s heart.
