257: Chapter 262: The Tigress Cos Out of the Mountain 257: Chapter 262: The Tigress Cos Out of the Mountain Gina Lopez beca anxious as well due to Jas Brown’s actions, so she set aside her shyness and thought carefully before saying, “Tell , who exactly are you?”
Jas Brown smacked his forehead and exclaid, “Oh no.”
Emily Lopez shook her head, seemingly exasperated, and said, “Sister, you’re really too silly.
You should have played along with him.
Why would you ask who he is?
Aren’t you exposing your identity right away?”
Gina Lopez’s mouth twitched as she replied, “I didn’t know about this beforehand like you did.
When I heard the disgusting way he spoke, I got angry on the spot.”
Jas Brown waved it off and asked, “What did he say next?”
Gina Lopez hurriedly answered, “He said, ‘Huh, aren’t you the one Mr.
Lee brought yesterday?
Ah, you’re not Mr.
Lee’s real wife, are you?'”
After a pause, Gina Lopez’s expression turned sowhat awkward, but she continued, “I told him I was, and asked which woman that bastard was out with yesterday?”
“He just laughed and said, ‘I’m just kidding, sister-in-law.
Mr.
Lee is not that sort of person.
He has praised you a lot to .
Oh yes, sister-in-law, where do you work?
I’ll co visit soti, I should bring you a gift.'”
Jas Brown didn’t respond, but stared at Gina Lopez, while Emily Lopez anxiously said, “You didn’t tell him, did you?”
Gina Lopez cleared her throat and said, “When I heard him say that, it was obviously made up.
You definitely wouldn’t have said I was your wife, so I figured he must have so other motive.
Just then you knocked on the door, so I told him you had co back and said you would call him later.”
Jas Brown breathed a sigh of relief, grateful that Gina Lopez hadn’t misspoken.
However, what originally involved only him and Helen Wilson now inadvertently involved Gina Lopez as well.
Emily Lopez stroked her chin, shaking her head thoughtfully, and said, “The problem doesn’t seem too big.
We just need to cover up the fact that my sister is the wife.”
Jas Brown nodded and said, “Then I’ll call him right now.”
After dialing John Smith’s number and hearing it ring twice, John Smith picked up and cheerfully said, “Mr.
Lee, are you ho?”
Jas Brown joked, “What ho, I’m at the hotel with my wife.”
“Mr.
Lee, you even brought your wife?
That’s pretty impressive!”
Jas Brown lowered his voice, whispering, “Impressive my foot, my wife is the fierce tiger.
She ca here specially fearing I would bring other won.
I just want to make so extra money on this deal, and I didn’t dare tell her.
Don’t let it slip, else I’d have been busy for nothing.”
John Smith laughed heartily and reassured, “Don’t worry, I didn’t spill the beans.
But now that the real wife is here, as a brother I have to support your face.
Otherwise, you’d have a hard ti explaining yourself.”
Jas Brown hastily declined, “No need, I can handle her.”
“How can that be enough?
Now that sister-in-law is here, I, as a brother, must at least treat you.
It’s settled then.
It’s past five now, let’s et at M Hotel at seven o’clock.”
“Wait, in that case, later you can say you want to help with the steel material deal.
I’ll say that’s what I ca here for this ti.”
“Understood, I’ve also dealt with steel materials before, I definitely won’t slip up.”
After hanging up, Jas Brown gave a wry smile to Gina Lopez and said, “He insists on inviting us to dinner.”
Gina Lopez looked at Jas Brown in surprise and asked, “You an… you want to go with you?”
“It seems like we have to go.
If not, he will definitely start suspecting.”
Gina Lopez hesitated, as going along with such a plan made her anxious, especially since the person they were going to et was so inappropriate, which intensified her aversion.
At this point, Emily Lopez excitedly said, “If my sister doesn’t go, I’ll go with you, brother-in-law.
Quickly tell , what should I do there?”
Gina Lopez was startled and quickly objected, “No way, how can you go?”
Emily Lopez argued discontentedly, “Why can’t I go?
That guy doesn’t recognize you, plus, we’re twins.
Even if he knows you, I can definitely pretend to be you without a problem, and besides, such an exhilarating and thrilling affair, I must go and see for myself.”
Gina Lopez imdiately said to Jas Brown, “Alright, I’ll go with you.”
Emily Lopez cried out in frustration, “Sister, are you serious?
I only said I’d go because you didn’t want to, and now that I’m willing, you insist on going.”
Gina Lopez glared and said, “You keep calling him ‘brother-in-law’.
Can you manage that?
Wouldn’t you be found out right away?”
Emily Lopez found herself at a loss for words and argued weakly, “Can’t I try to change that?”
“This isn’t sothing to be tried!
Didn’t you hear what your brother-in-law said?
This is dangerous.
If sothing goes wrong, everyone will be in trouble.
This is why you can’t go.
If anyone should, it’s got to be .”
Jas waved his hand, “Stop arguing.
If soone really has to go, it should be Gina.
Sandra, you’re really not cut out for this.”
Sandra pouted unhappily and grabbed Jas’s arm, shaking it as she pleaded, “Brother-in-law, just take with you.
I promise I’ll perform exceptionally well.”
“It’s really not going to work.
You’ve already gotten used to calling that way.
If you were to change it, it would definitely leave a trace.”
“But my sister, she…”
“It’s exactly because she just calls by my na that it works.”
“But she’s so fierce.”
“We need her to play a tigress this ti, don’t we?”
“Oh, a tigress!” Sandra suddenly burst out laughing, then slyly looked at Gina and said, “You’re right, this role is indeed made for my sister.”
“What did you say?
You think I’m like a tigress?” Gina’s face fell.
Sandra completely ignored Gina’s expression, instead poking Jas playfully as she giggled, “Brother-in-law, don’t you agree she’s very much like one?”
Jas laughed awkwardly.
It was better not to engage with such taphors, or else he’d be asking for trouble.
Unexpectedly, Gina herself chuckled and retorted, “You silly girl, you’re talking nonsense; am I that fierce?”
Jas quickly added, “You have to be fierce today; you really need to play the part of the tigress.”
Gina nodded and said, “I don’t have to be completely fierce though, right?
Even if I’m fierce at ho, I should still save so face for you in public as a wife, right?
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be quite proper.”
Sandra imdiately nodded vigorously, “Not only should you not be arbitrarily fierce, but you also need to show affection.
Especially you, brother-in-law, you can’t treat my sister like you usually do.
You said my sister is fierce, so you must be both respectful and loving towards her, that’s the only way to truly show whipped behavior.”
Jas wiped so sweat from his brow, “Alright, but it’s about ti we left.
We’ll just have to adapt as necessary.
Besides, he doesn’t know how you and your sister behave at ho, so just displaying a normal relationship between husband and wife should do.”
Sandra excitedly exclaid, “Then here’s to your striking success and triumphant conquest.”
Gina stood up with her fighting spirit high, “Gina Lopez has never been defeated in the business world.
I’m confident that sothing like this won’t be too difficult for .”
Looking at the twin sisters, Jas couldn’t help but smile, “Well then, let’s set off.”
While heading downstairs, Jas briefed Gina on the case’s details.
While this was ant to be confidential, and Helen wasn’t supposed to share it with anyone, Jas still had absolute trust in Gina, especially now that she was involved, so he naturally had to clarify everything to her.
Gina had never expected the case to be so significant and voiced her concern, “This case sounds too dangerous.
You’re not a police officer, why get involved?”
Jas shrugged, “A friend asked for my help; I couldn’t refuse.”
“You’re really loyal, aren’t you?
It’s a female friend, isn’t it?” Gina’s intuition was remarkably sharp.
Jas didn’t deny it, “Yes, she’s a cop, now a station chief, with a strong sense of justice.
She took one million dollars out of her own pocket to go undercover for this case; she’s invested a lot.
I wouldn’t be able to face myself if I didn’t help her.”
“There are police officers like that?” Gina looked at Jas doubtfully.
“There are indeed.
When you et her, you’ll understand.
Sandra has t her; her na is Helen Wilson.”
“I do want to et her now that you ntion it.
And she must be beautiful, right?”
“You’re right again.”
Gina pursed her lips, “I knew it.
If she were just an ordinary-looking girl, you wouldn’t care so much.”
Jas chuckled dryly, but Gina seed to have a point.
If it were just an average-looking girl, he wouldn’t really bother to pay much attention.
Everyone has a love for beauty, and while Jas might not necessarily have any special thoughts about a beautiful policewoman like Helen, it sohow felt more pleasant to help soone attractive.
They couldn’t drive to their destination this ti, so before hailing a taxi, Jas called Helen to update her on the latest developnts, which rather irritated her.
She complained about Jas carelessly dropping his phone, but since it had already happened, Helen ticulously inquired about Jas’s plan.
After learning that Gina would be helping out with the act, Helen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Helen had no role to play this ti.
Currently posing as the mistress, she couldn’t appear now that Gina, the legitimate partner, was present.
This made her quite uneasy, but there wasn’t much she could do except to remind Jas not to ss things up.
As they discussed the matter, Helen suddenly realized a critical issue, exclaiming, “You haven’t co over for makeup yet!”
Jas laughed, “I called you precisely because I need to stop by your place.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have to co over so early.”
Gina, upon hearing this, felt a bit uneasy for no apparent reason.
The thought of eting that policewoman caused her to involuntarily puff up her chest, as a sense of combative spirit silently surged within her.
