Jacob looked at the confused faces of the council members. "I don't know if this is good, but, Alex Ogden... I think he... "
"Damn! Alex Ogden wants to marry J because he likes her?" Lance was the one who says what Jacob can't bring himself to say.
J glared at him. Although she knows that Alex Ogden is interested in her, she doesn't want to believe that he likes her. And it irks her that Lance thinks that way. She looked at Jacob and saw him nod his head.
What? J's jaw fell to the ground.
"That's right. And because of that, I don't think he will use any form of force to get her." She heard Jacob say after clearing his throat.
She rolled her eyes. "Ahem... I think you are just assuming things." J tried to hide her slight embarrassment by being sarcastic.
For the first time, the council members heard the voice of their heiress. They thought that she would remain quiet until the meeting ended.
