C17 Poor Is so Miserable!

Hazel's face instantly turned red and green. She also felt that it was unbelievable. "Did you hear that? Noah didn't even hear it before you did. How did you hear it?"

If Noah had heard it, he would have known that Layla was the one who hit him first.

However, Noah didn't hear it, but Jacob did. Was this science?

Jacob paused for a moment, as if he was hesitating whether he should answer. However, under the surprised and doubtful gaze of Hazel, he still answered coldly, "I have received professional training, so my hearing is much better than ordinary people."

Unfortunately, he, who had always kept a distance from women, had never thought that women would start a fight when they were arguing. So, he didn't have time to stop Layla when she hit him.

So she had received professional training!

Hazel's face alternated between red and green for a long time. She coughed awkwardly and said, "Then... Mr. Phillips, why did you help me?"

This man had an ice-cold aura around him. He didn't look like someone who would meddle in other people's business, especially when it came to a fight between women. Alright, although it was Noah's fault, it was no longer a matter between women.

Just as she was feeling puzzled.

Jacob suddenly took two steps forward and approached Hazel. He asked coldly, "Are you afraid of me?"

Occasionally, women would talk to him when they were at work or at a gathering. Their eyes were always glued to him, wanting to attract his attention. However, this woman didn't even dare to look at him when she spoke. She kept her head down as if she was trying to avoid something.

Hazel's body stiffened.

She smiled awkwardly and raised her head to speak the truth, "It's not that I'm afraid of Mr. Phillips, it's just that I'm worried that I might say something wrong and offend Mr. Phillips!"

In fact, Jacob was not the only one she could not afford to offend. She could not afford to offend everyone in the banquet.

She needed her work very badly right now. If she lost her job, she would be fine, but she still had Logan to take care of. However, Layla had gone too far just now, so she couldn't help but...

Judging from her expression, it didn't seem like she was lying. Furthermore, there seemed to be a deep concern behind her words.

Jacob also understood something and said coldly, "Don't worry, I won't bother with women."

"Then you..." Hazel was about to say something.

Jacob interrupted her coldly, "There's no need to call you that. It's better to call you by your name. I'm not much older than you, so it's uncomfortable to talk to me like that!"

In fact, both of them knew very well that Hazel used him because of his status and not because of his age.

Hazel did not insist, but she opened her eyes wide and looked up at him. "Then why did Mr. Phillips help me? After all, we have never met!"

She raised her head and the moonlight fell into her eyes. Her beautiful face looked even more delicate.

Jacob stared at her face and felt a strange feeling in his heart. However, this strange feeling disappeared very quickly. He replied to her question coldly, "I just saw injustice."

As for the fact that they had never met before...

Actually, they had met before, but he didn't want to say it.

"So that's how it is. Thank you, Mr. Phillips. I'll treat you to a meal when I have time!" Hazel said quickly. After saying that, her expression turned bitter.

Who was Jacob? It was fine if he didn't give her face...

Moreover, even if he did, with his status and identity, he would definitely eat delicacies. With her current income, it was already very difficult for her to support her family. If she asked him to eat, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to afford it even if she took out her salary for a month.

She wanted to cry. It was true that she wanted to treat him to a meal, but it was also true that she couldn't afford it.

When he sang, the lyrics were, "How invincible is it, how lonely it is?" She only wanted to sing, "How poor is it, how miserable it is?"

Seeing her expression instantly turn bitter, it was as if she had realized that she had said something stupid. Jacob smiled.

When he smiled, he was also stunned.

He actually smiled too?

Very quickly, he stopped smiling. Staring at the woman's face in front of him, he nodded and said coldly, "Alright, I'll remember it. You owe me a meal!"

Hazel, "..."

Shouldn't they be more polite or wave their hands and say that they didn't need it?

"Mmm, alright then!" Hazel nodded. She thought to herself that she should tighten her belt when she got home and save up the money for this meal. After all, he had indeed helped her a lot today.

As she finished speaking.

Jacob took out his phone and asked, "Your phone number?"

"Ah?" Hazel was stunned for a moment.

He raised his eyebrows coldly, "Aren't you going to treat me to a meal?"

"Oh! Okay!" Hazel quickly reported her phone number.

After Jacob entered her phone number, he made a call to her. He then said coldly, "My personal phone number."

"Okay!" Hazel immediately took out her phone and carefully saved his number. She knew that he was a big shot, so she had to be careful with his number.

After she saved it.

Hazel looked up at him. Although she was tempted by his handsome face, she quickly forced herself to calm down. She stuttered, "Um, Mr. Phillips..."
