Chapter 437 I Can Give You Whatever You Want
When Jaylon said that, not only Vincent, but even Reina was stunned. They could not tell whether Jaylon meant it.
However, no matter what, hearing that, Vincent was awe-struck and could say nothing.
Vincent remained silent for some time before he said, "Nadia is the only daughter of the Hornsby family. If the
Malpas Group aligns itself with the Hornsby Group, it may surpass Prudential Group in terms of its financial
firepower.
"The Malpas Group and Prudential Group have many conflicts in business these years. You have been suppressed
by Prudential Group. A marriage alliance with the Hornsby family may completely turn the table. Will you really
make such a big sacrifice for Reina?"
"The person in charge of Prudential Group is my brother-in-law. I have no intention of competing with him." Jaylon
stared at Vincent. "On the other hand, Mr. Webb, you kept accusing Reina of being a homewrecker just now. You
failed to win her back, so you decided to ruin her reputation, didn't you?"
What Jaylon had done was many times worse than Vincent's deeds. Reina didn't know how Jaylon could be so
cheeky to mock Vincent.
Vincent argued, "I was misled just now..."
"To put it bluntly, you just don't believe in Reina's character." Jaylon smiled ironically. "Is that how you treated your
first love, the girl you have been with for years?"
Reina was speechless.
What did this have to do with their past relationship?
Vincent was angered by Jaylon's words, but since Jaylon said that he would
cancel the engagement with his fiancée to marry Reina, Vincent had nothing to say.
Seeing that Vincent did not speak, Jaylon was about to take Reina out of there.
The middle-aged woman who had been standing at the side blocked their way.
She was less aggressive from the moment Jaylon appeared, but she still sounded patronizing. "Give me the money
that your mother took from my husband. Otherwise, don't even think about leaving today!"
Reina said, "When I get in touch with my mother, I will call you. You can get it from her yourself."
"I've said no..."

The woman was so angry that she turned around and grabbed Reina's hand. "You want to run away? Today, you
must pay me. Otherwise..."
Jaylon turned around and his gaze fell on the middle-aged woman. His dark eyes were cold. "Get off her."
The woman was shocked by his aura and was stunned.
Reina took the opportunity to break free and said, "I am very sorry about what my mother did to you. I will call you
immediately after I find her."
After all, it was Reina's mother's fault. Reina could understand why this
woman had lost control and vented her anger on her.
Even so, Reina would never spend a single coin for Lacey.
Reina pressed her business card into the woman's hand. "Contact me when you calm down."
After saying that, she left with Jaylon.
The woman wanted to chase after Reina, but she did not dare to do so
when she thought of the man beside Reina.
In front of Reina, Jaylon was walking fast.
Reina still had some pain in her foot, and it was a little difficult for her to
catch up with Jaylon, but she did not ask him to stop.
Jaylon pulled her downstairs and turned around to ask her why she met
Vincent today.
Noticing that her forehead was covered in sweat, Jaylon bit back the angry words he would like to have said.
Jaylon totally forgot that she had sprained her ankle before.
Jaylon silently pulled her to sit down in the rest area of the hall. He stood in front of her and then squatted down.
Jaylon reached out and touched her ankle. His voice was very low when he said, "Does it hurt?"
"No." Reina was not used to his tenderness. She put her foot back toward the sofa to avoid his touch. "Why did you
suddenly come over?"
Hearing that, Jaylon stood up, his face slightly darkened. "Did I not mention that? I come here to see what you are
doing."
"I'm not joking with you." Reina frowned.
"Neither do I." Jaylon sat beside her. "What did you say to me before?"
She had promised that she would not see Vincent again. However, after
only a few days, she broke her promise and met Vincent in private.
"He came to my workplace today. I have nowhere to hide."
The sofa was small, and it looked even more cramped when Jaylon sat
down.
Though separated by the thin fabric, Jaylon's body was pressing against
hers.
Reina tried to shrink to the side, but Jaylon put his arm around her waist, making her unable to move.
Jaylon asked righteously, "I don't buy it. If you don't want to see him, there
are thousands of ways to avoid him."
Reina was a little annoyed because of his attitude. She calmed down and
asked, "For example?"
"Resign or live with me."
Reina suddenly regretted asking Jaylon such a boring question, giving him a
chance to talk nonsense.
Reina pulled his hand that was placed on her waist. "I'm still at work now. I
have to go."
Jaylon had no intention of letting her go. "I've already told your superior.
You have a paid day off."
"When did you talk to my superior over the phone?" Reina asked
suspiciously.
Jaylon calmly took out his phone and said confidently, "Now."
Reina was speechless.
Jaylon quickly informed Reina's superior. After hanging up the phone, he

asked her, "Who is that woman?"
Reina told him the whole story. Jaylon's face darkened. Apparently, he
looked unhappy as he said in a deep and cold voice, "You're always overbearing with me, aren't you? Why did you
chicken out in front of others?
Were you going to stand there and do nothing when others humiliated you? Why didn't you refute when Vincent
said that you were a homewrecker?" Jaylon might think that he had said too much today, he said these and then
concluded, "Pushover."
Reina could tell that he was defending her.
But...
"They told the truth, didn't they? You want me to be your mistress, right?"
Reina asked calmly.
"You forced me to do it yourself. What are you angry about now?"
Jaylon stiffened and remained silent.
"You just said upstairs that you were willing to give up your marriage with Ms. Hornsby and marry me. Is that true?"
Reina forced a smile.
"No." When it came to benefits, Jaylon regained his usual overbearing and
ruthless attitude. "My family can gain billions of dollars as long as I marry Ms. Hornsby.
"You're not worth that much."
Reina, who had been moved by him, was bitterly disappointed at once.
Jaylon was distracted right now, so he didn't hold her tightly.
Reina stood up and easily broke free from his grip. "Mr. Malpas, I still have
to go back to work. Excuse me."
Jaylon said, "But you have a day off."
"No need."
Jaylon knew that his words had made her unhappy. He stood up and
blocked her way. "I said that if you don't want to be hurt by the rumors, I can take you to a place where no one
knows you and let you lead a life of luxury.
"This marriage is nothing but a formality. Even if I marry Nadia, our relationship will not change.
"Other than the marriage certificate, I can give you anything you want."
