Chapter 220
Ron smiled and leaned against the sofa. Shaking one of his legs casually, lie asked. "Who is nervous?”
Hearing that, Leah could not help but stare at him.
"I'm not nervous at all. I'm only worried that cunning old fox will do something bad to you!” Ron
shrugged.
Leah and Molly were not on good terms, and it seemed that almost everyone in Linkville knew about it.
For that reason. Jackson, who was Molly’s father, must be Leah’s rival too.
“I know, but I only want to have a few words with Han. that’s all. I will leave as soon as I get the
answers.” Leah knew Ron was concerned for her.
Hearing that, Ron smirked. “Don’t worry. I will always protect you. Worst come to worst, let’s fight that
old man together!”
Leah was so touched. The comer of her mouth could not help but twitch. She believed what Ron said
as he always kept his promises.
“So, I have done you a big favor. How are you going to thank me?” Ron said and patted Leah's head.
“Buy you dinner?”
“I can buy myself dinner! I don’t need that.” Ron rolled his eyes.
"Then what do you want? I will do whatever I can. Just tell me what you want.” Leah knew she was
indebted to Ron and must pay for his kindness.

Hearing that, Ron’s eyes lit up. That was what he wanted to hear. He quickly leaned forward and said,
“I have a race this Saturday. Can you go with me?”
“Race?” Leah could not help widening her eyes. “I don’t know...”
“You don’t have to participate in the race. I only want you to come to give me support. I’ll go pick you up
Saturday. Don’t you dare reject me,” Ron blurted in a hurry. There was no chance for Leah to refuse at
all.
Two days later, Jackson organized an auction at the largest auction house in Linkville.
Most of the guests were political elites. Only a few businessmen were invited.
However, many VIPs from Pasteria were invited too. If one managed to get then' contacts at the
auction, he could definitely widen his social circle to the rich and powerful.
Although it was a charity auction, Jackson invited a lot of reporters to increase liis reputation.
At first, Ron was not invited. However, considering that two-thirds of the entertainment business in
Linkville belonged to him, Jackson had no choice but to invite him as well. Jackson knew he could not
underestimate liis influence in Linkville.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Ron and Leah attended the charity auction together.
Jackson was standing at the entrance of the auction house. Wearing a pair of glasses, he greeted
guests who arrived at the auction house with a smile.
However, as soon as he saw Ron and Leah, he stopped smiling. In fact, there was even a wicked glint
in liis eyes.
It was the first time Leah met Jackson. Although Jackson looked easygoing, a feeling of fear rose in
Leah’s heart.
Could it be Molly that I fear him?
“Hi. Mi; Lamere!” Ron greeted Jackson casually.
Meeting a powerfill man like Jackson, Ron was not intimidated at all. He knew Jackson could do
nothing to him.
“Ron, how great to see you here. But I don’t remember that you like antiques before!” Jackson sneered.
Hearing that, Ron could not help but smirk. “I’ve heard that you’ve got a dagger from the medieval
period to be auctioned today. I’m very interested, so I bring my friend here to have a look. After all,
she’s a jewehy designer and knows a lot about antiques and stuff.”
“I see.” Jackson nodded. Then his eyes fell on Leah. “So, you’re Ms. White? It’s glad to finally meet
you. I’ve heard a lot about you, you know?”
Jackson was friendly to Leah. To him, Leah was only a guest. However, how could one be so calm
meeting the woman who had scandals with his daughter’s fiance?
Immediately, Leah knew Jackson was a shrewd man.
“I’ve heard a lot about you too!” Leah had no choice but to greet Jackson politely.
Hearing that, Jackson smiled. “Ms. White has such an outstanding career. I’m glad that we have such
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtalented people like you in Linkville. The future of Linkville depends on you.”
All the reporters present at the charity auction were amazed to hear what Jackson said. Jackson
praised liis daughter’s rival in public.
Ron knew Jackson was acting and disliked hypocrites like him. He quickly grabbed Leah’s hand and
excused himself. “We’d better go in. The auction is about to start.”
With that. Ron and Leah walked into the hall. Nonetheless. Jackson stared at their backs until they
disappeared into the crowd.
Feeling that Jackson could not see them anymore. Leah breathe a sigh of relief.
“Hey, are you okay? Are you afraid of him? I thought you’re so bold that nothing scares you!” Ron
stretched out liis hand and gave Leah’s hand a massage.
Leah rolled her eyes. After thinking for a while, she asked. “What kind of person Jackson is?”
"He is a cunning old man who is not easy to deal with,” replied Ron without hesitation.
Hearing that, Leah was confused. She looked puzzled.
“Rich people are all crafty and scheming. Think about Han,” Ron whispered.
“Han?”
“Yeah, but Han was beaten by Jackson many times in the past, and it seemed that Jackson always has
the ability to control Han’s movement. Their relationship is hard to explain. But that’s none of my
business.”
Hearing that, Leah could not help but ponder. She remembered Han was close to the Lamere family
before.
