Chapter 1141

Cooper gestured to the server and said to Josephine, “It looks like you're on your way to your room. Which room

are you in? I'll ask the server to buy a sweater and deliver it to you.”

Originally, Josephine was about to reject his offer, but the man was the one who initiated a conversation with her.

So, after a while of contemplation, she told him her room number.

Cooper passed the glass in his hand to the server before whispering something to the other man. Before he left, he

also glanced at Josephine one more time, and that glance made her heart skip a beat.

Why is he looking at me like that?

After Josephine returned to the room, she spotted Sally sitting at the corner of the couch, silently drinking.

Someone asked, “Josie, what happened to your sweater?”

Josephine was wearing a white sweater, so the damp spot on her chest was obvious.

Sally peeked at Josephine and muttered, “Someone knocked into me when I was on my way back, and he spilled

some of his whiskey on my sweater.”

Right then, someone knocked on the room door.

A server entered the room. Upon recognizing Josephine, he handed her a shopping bag and said, “Ms. Carter, this is

the sweater from our boss, Mr. Sutton, for dirtying your sweater.”

Josephine took the sweater and asked the server in a curious tone, “Wait, Mr. Sutton of Specter Corporation is the

owner of this bar?”

“Yes. It has been a long time since Mr. Sutton took over this bar,” the server replied. “Mr. Sutton apologizes for

ruining your mood. He said that he'll give you and your friends a treat today.”

Once the server was gone, one of their friends remarked, “What a generous man Mr. Sutton is. I can't believe he's

buying you a new sweater and treating all of us today.”

Josephine smiled and took out the sweater from the shopping bag.

One of them then noticed the tag on the sweater. “And it's from Gucci. This sweater costs almost ten thousand.

Wow...”

“Isn't Cooper married to Sally?” another abruptly chimed in.

At that, everyone turned to look at Sally.

Josephine shrugged. “I saw them buying rings at the jewelry store the other day, but who knows if they've

registered.”



Josephine's seemingly-nonchalant words struck a thought into the people's minds.

“Then they haven't done that yet,” someone said. “I have a friend who works at Specter Corporation, and there

were rumors saying that Mr. Sutton has been having dinners with a different woman every night some time ago. A

bigwig like him doesn't have any shortage of women, and if he wants to marry someone, he'll surely marry a

woman of equal status or a woman who can help him out.”

Before anything happened to the Loake family, Cooper would have been lucky to marry Sally.

However, the Loake family was gone.

Sally silently nursed her drink in the corner as she listened to their conversation. Her grip on the glass tightened

until her knuckles turned white.

Her silence was an affirmation to their speculations.

Someone then increased her volume and said, “Say, Josie, do you think Mr. Sutton is interested in you?”

Josephine rolled her eyes at the young woman and said, “Nonsense.”

Right as Josephine said that, someone entered the room again. The earlier server had come with a large bouquet

of crimson roses.

“Ms. Carter, this is something Mr. Sutton asked me to deliver to you. He hopes that you'll like it.”

At that, the others in the room let out a “wow.”

The bouquet of roses was more like a slap on Sally's face, she shot up to her feet gloomily and uttered, “Enjoy

yourselves. I have something else to do.”

Someone mocked as they watched Sally scurry away, “I thought Cooper loved her dearly to have bought her the

ring but is this all?”

“Could it be that Sally was the one who clung to Cooper?”

Josephine lowered her head to smell the roses.

It seemed like the bouquet of roses was fresh as the scent was strong. Josephine guessed that there were around

eighty to ninety stalks of roses in the bouquet, and any woman would be ecstatic to receive them.

When Josephine thought about the look the man gave her before he left, her heart raced again.
