Chapter 229: Another Woman
Exiting the window put him on the front lawn of the mansion.
The good thing was that everyone still hadn't left the mansion so no one saw him coming out of the window.
Arthur apparently went out through the back door after he ate and then went to the front.
The young man was basically looking for trouble for himself.
David casually walked to the terrace and then went back inside the mansion since there was nothing for him to do outside.
His eyes immediately fell on Evelyn's bedroom door.
She had just come out of her room, which led to her meeting with Enzo.
From afar, he could not listen to their conversation, only able to judge from Evelyn's expression which seemed angry while Enzo looked disappointed.
After that, Evelyn walked away with her gaze fixed ahead. She was not looking at anyone, and probably did not notice David's presence at the entrance.
Apparently, she approached a group of women who were around the same age as her.
Judging from the aura and the way the women were acting, they were most likely members of this family who managed the family businesses.
Some of them were supposed to be outsiders who became part of the Rothschild Family by marrying men in the family.
When she joined them, Isabel received a very friendly welcome.
Most of them seemed to treat her as an unofficial leader.
David wasn't sure what she was talking to them about. From the looks of it, she was probably giving them some sort of plan.
Without Arthur around, he didn't have any other friends here either.
In the end, he sat down at the table next to the window, wondering if he could ask someone for coffee.
To his surprise, there really was someone coming towards him, a woman whose face was so beautiful, perfectly oval-shaped with a nose that looked as if it was sculpted by the deities.
She seemed to be in her late 20s, having very pale white skin.
Here, she was just wearing a simple white dress without any special design, not too long but still past her knees.
Her hair was bright blonde, straight and dense, reaching her thighs.
Her entire figure looked simple. She wore not a single piece of jewelry, not even an earring in her ear.
Actually, her ears did not have earring holes either.
However, with just that simplicity, she could be much more striking than those beautiful women with luxurious jewelry.
Even the scent of her body gave the impression that it could be intoxicating to the point that people would be highly addicted.
David couldn't help but narrow his eyes when he saw her.
He looked at her feet for a moment because of his habit of scrutinizing the entire female figure.
Apparently, she wasn't even wearing sandals.
When he observed constantly, this woman seemed to have a very weak body. She was probably often sick with such a body.
"What's your name, Miss?" asked David curiously.
This was the first time he had seen her today or perhaps he had been unaware of her existence all this time.
Ever since she approached him, all gazes were instantly drawn to him, including Evelyn.
The latter knitted her brows, as if she was uncomfortable seeing him with another woman.
"Jasmine Rothschild," the woman replied and sat down opposite him.
David was even more astonished by her.
Even Jane had never told him about this woman.
"You look different from the others," he said.
"What's different about me?" The woman seemed confused by his words so she gazed at the window which was faintly reflecting the image of her figure.
She apparently took David's words seriously and probably misunderstood some parts so she searched to see if there was anything wrong with her figure.
"I mean, you're the only one who approached me. You know, the others are hostile to me, and it shows in their gazes. It's different with you, I don't see you as hostile to me," David replied, having no other choice but to explain this to her.
After that, she finally understood.
With a faint smile, she said, "I'm not one for hostility. It's pointless, it will only hurt each side in the end." Discover hidden tales at ???
Her voice was very soft when she said that. Coupled with her beautiful face that had pale skin, David couldn't help but think that he was hearing the aphorisms of an angel descending to earth.
Apparently, this woman was very pure-minded. Who knew why there was one member of the Rothschild Family who had this way of thinking.
Shouldn't they be greedy and ambitious?
Even Jane, although she also looked pure, her ambition was to rule the world.
David couldn't guess how this woman was raised.
After explaining her opinion, she observed his face.
This made him a little uncomfortable that his face was being observed as if he was a rare creature.
"Miss, I know I'm handsome, but you don't need to stare at me like that," he said when he started to feel uncomfortable.
He joked a little when he spoke because talking to a woman like this might be necessary in such a way.
Some people who happened to pass by heard what he said.
They couldn't help but cough involuntarily, thinking that he was really big-headed.
However, the women among them could not argue with that even though they were annoyed with the way she boasted.
"Sister Jasmine, you must not get too close to him. He is a despicable villain," a young man said suddenly.
David had no idea who he was. He was supposed to be just one of the youths in this family who had no important role.
Jasmine blushed slightly at David's words, but only for a moment as someone else spoke up.
She looked at the young man, waving her hand at him.
"Go away, don't disturb the family guest," she said, admonishing the young man and his friends.
Unfortunately, what she said made them unhappy.
"How can he be our family guest!" One of the others spoke while pointing at David unhappily.
His claim is certainly not false. No one would think of David as a guest of the family.
Jasmine, on the other hand, actually thinks of David as such, one cannot help but wonder how her brain works.
Apparently, Jasmine became visibly angry as her words were contradicted.
"I told you to get out of here, did you not hear?" she said.
When she looked angry, the young men somehow became worried.
They hurriedly walked away, something that was strange to David.
Jasmine looked at David again after they left, trying to smile.
"Sorry, some of the boys here are naughty, but not all of them, there are many who are kind and polite," she said.
