From the look on Ned’s face, Damien knew his son wasn't taking this seriously."If you like her, take this seriously. Otherwise, don't leave her hanging," Damien added toward the end.Ned walked to his room while making an 'OK' gesture with his hand, nonchalant as ever.Damien made a call to Lincoln.When Lincoln was young, he started a business in building materials, household furnishing and bathroom products. He was a good person, and he was smart to boot. His family was wealthy to begin with. Gradually, he became one of the richest businessmen in Genovia. He had a foot in many industries, and these were all diversified. His philosophy of investing was to not put all his eggs in one basket.But no matter how rich the Zimmerman family was, they still paled in comparison to the Lawrence family. Anyway, Damien wasn't counting on finding a family with a similar status. It was fine as long as they didn't do too badly in life.Lincoln had approached him on this topic several times. H
They found a relatively clean hot pot restaurant near the lab that served their food in a copper pot. The two ate and chatted at the same time. They talked about the latest international research findings, and Cassandra also talked about the research projects she was working on. Of course, she didn't mention the core details."Oh, right. Who did you study your PhD with in Emmeria?" Cassandra asked.Wyatt, who was originally very talkative, suddenly stopped for a moment. "He's not famous in Emmeria. You won't know who he is.""Oh." Cassandra didn't ask further since Wyatt gave such a reply.However, they ended up eating for two hours. In other words, they chatted for two hours. They had many things in common.Before Wyatt left, he invited Cassandra to join the Pharmacists' Association in Genovia. All she had to do was fill a form. Wyatt would send it to her later.Cassandra agreed without hesitation. She knew about Genovia's policy; once she joined the Pharmacists' Association, it
Ivory never paid attention to this in the past, but she was certain her brother had mentioned it before. However, she couldn't recall right away. After a while, she began speaking excitedly. "Oh, I remember now! His surname was Tyne. My brother was always talking about Professor Tyne.""Clement Tyne?" Ned asked."That's it! It's Clement Tyne, but I don't know how to spell it. Are you interested in my brother, Mr. Lawrence?"Ned smiled a little. "Not really. What about you? What do you like?""Me? I like shopping and reading. Oh, I'm also working in my Dad's company in the advertising department. What about you?" Ivory was afraid Ned might think she was superficial if she only talked about shopping and makeup. Thus, she intentionally added 'reading' to the list. After all, he was a PhD graduate. He probably liked girls who had something in common with him. Although Ned was very handsome and looked like a playboy, Ivory knew that he was a very capable man. It was obvious, especiall
Cassandra arrived at the office very early in the morning, as she wanted to sneak the spicy hot pot dish into Ned's office so she wouldn't have to interact with him.Fortunately, he wasn't around. A part-time maid was cleaning the office. After Cassandra put the food down, she sent Ned a message on Whatsapp.Cassandra: [The spicy hot pot is on your desk.]She received a text from him before she arrived at the lab.Ned: [You didn't put poison in it, did you?]Cassandra: [Take it or leave it!]Cassandra brought the report on human parasites to Sam's office before starting with her experiment.Ned saw the large, round lunch box on his desk after arriving at the office. Later, Sam delivered the research report on human parasites to him. Ned didn't really understand how such professional reports were related to medical research. However, Sam wasn't there to show him the report. Mainly, he wanted to show Ned the statistics and talk about purchasing equipment."Who collected this repo
"What?" Cassandra was stunned for a moment. A chill traveled from the bottom of her feet to the top of her head. That explained why Wyatt wouldn't tell her when she asked about his tutor! This also explained why Wyatt seemed to know everything she told him. It turned out that his tutor was actually Clement. Cassandra had no idea what Clement told Wyatt, but she felt severely cheated by this revelation.Coincidentally, this was when she received a Whatsapp message from Wyatt. He sent her the application form he said he would.Cassandra looked down at her phone.Cassandra: [Was Clement your tutor?]If it wasn't true, she could argue with Ned on the spot.She was surprised by Wyatt's response.Wyatt: [Is this important?]Cassandra instantly knew that Wyatt's tutor was indeed Clement.She didn't understand. If it was Clement, why did he have to hide it?Immediately, Cassandra had a bad impression of Wyatt.Wyatt: [Even if you have a bad impression of me, please fill up the applic
Meanwhile, on Ned's side.There was a lot of work on Monday, Ned had a lot of meetings with the high-level executives. There were technical and sales related meetings. Before he realized, it was already noon. He ordered takeaway food for each of them. Meanwhile, he asked his subordinate to heat up his spicy hot pot and brought it to the conference room.Although nobody pointed it out, they were all thinking about it. ‘Did Mr. Lawrence bring food from home? Does he like spicy hot pot?’Oliver, who was next to Ned, whispered, "Who cooked this spicy hot pot? It smells great. Do you mind if I make a post on this?""Go ahead," Ned encouraged.Oliver then took a photo of Ned eating spicy hot pot. The caption written was, "Mr. Lawrence eating spicy hot pot. He's down-to-earth…"Coincidentally, Annie was also eating when she saw Oliver's post. She enlarged it. Upon seeing the ingredients in Ned's spicy hot pot, she thought they looked just like the ones she bought the other night. The wa
Stephanie criticized Ned for being a complete and utter scumbag, and warned Cassandra not to get close to him. However, Ned already had Cassandra hooked. The saddest part was that Cassandra even fell for him hook, line, and sinker. Ashamed of this, Cassandra decided not to talk about her and Ned's stuff.Cassandra held Stephanie's hands tightly. "I'll go with you to the temple tomorrow. It just might work. I'm sure God is happy that you found a good man."Stephanie smiled bitterly. "If I could go back in time, I wish I never met Ned. I hope I never had to make that turn. It was a mistake that lasts a lifetime. Still, I wonder if I’d really be happy if I never met him. He was such a passionate man. I don't think I've ever met someone as interesting as him. I guess it's worth it, even if it only happened once in a lifetime."Stephanie recalled that rainy day she went to the bookstore. Ned was walking from the other direction. He didn't have an umbrella, and he ignored other people whe
Stephanie stayed for another day in Genovia. The next day, her husband returned from the suburbs, and they departed to Emmeria together.After that, Cassandra checked out of the hotel and prepared to head home.She could smell spring in the air. Although it was still cold, spring wasn't too far away.On the way home, she received a message from Annie. Annie had returned home after leaving Nazeroth Temple yesterday afternoon.Annie: [Cassandra, what on earth is going on between you and Mr. Lawrence? Did your break-up with Jeremy have something to do with Mr. Lawrence? As your friend, I'd like to remind you to stay vigilant. You saw what happened to Stephanie. Just make sure you know what you're doing.]Cassandra felt annoyed when she read the message.Cassandra: [Nothing’s going on.]At that, Annie didn't write anything further.Cassandra parked her car in the underground parking lot and headed upstairs. As soon as she walked out of the elevator, she saw a familiar figure leanin
Benjamin walked to her side and suddenly hugged her. It was as if there were thousands of words that could not be said. Jacey did not refute. It was as if the two of them had known each other for a long time. It was as if they had known each other for a long time."Your mother did a good job with this exhibition," Jacey said."It's good. After all, you're an expert in this field," Benjamin said. "Or if you have any requests when you get married, tell my mother and let her customize the most beautiful jewelry for you.""Married?" Jacey didn't understand.She had never thought about marriage. Why did she feel so close to her when Benjamin mentioned it?She still felt quite confused."I'll treat you to a meal later?" Benjamin said. "What do you want to eat?"Jacey's eyes lit up. "Hotpot? How about a hotpot?"Benjamin smiled and said, "I thought you had a profound hobby. This is it."Jacey smiled again.Jacey didn't like the feeling of being surrounded by people, so she chose the
Kenny smoked as he spoke. He had the look of a veteran in society. It was hard not to believe that he was a nouveau riche who did not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of his subordinates to save money."Sir, you've found the right person. Come and take a look." The workshop owner said. Then, he whispered a few words into Kenny's ear and asked, "Can you accept it?""What's so unacceptable about that? I'm definitely showing it to Party A. These people grew up in the countryside. What kind of milk have they drunk? I can't tell if it's true or not," Kenny said."Alright, alright," the workshop owner said with a smile."Just don't make it obvious. I'll go take a look at the manufacturing workshop." Kenny said.The owner of the workshop was initially quite shy, but Kenny said that he had ordered a lot, so the other party agreed.As soon as he entered the workshop, Jacey secretly turned on the pinhole camera when the workshop owner was not paying attention and filmed the production proce
Jacey felt that under Kenny's serious and unsmiling appearance, there was a soft and warm heart.This note looked like it had been around for a long time. It was unknown how long Kenny searched last night before he found it and gave it to Jacey so easily.Jacey left.However, she did not expect that something would happen on her first day there.She brought a vacuum camera and made her clothes look like rural women's. After finding the milk production point, she said that she wanted to order milk in large quantities because she heard that the milk here was very cheap.The people in the workshop looked at each other and said, "I'm not selling!"The people in the workshop were very smart and vigilant. Their workshop had a fixed delivery channel. This woman was alone and was unlikely to be here to order. They found an excuse and sent Jacey away.No matter how much Jacey dawdled, the other party refused to let her in.For a moment, Jacey didn't know what to do. She was quite depres
Jacey was a little stunned. She really didn't know much about what the parents were talking about.Moreover, she hadn't interacted with Benjamin for a few days. Moreover, when Ashlyn came to visit this time, she didn't say a word about him. It made her feel very uneasy. She even wondered if he didn't mean that at all. It was all her own wishful thinking…For the past few days, Benjamin had not come to look for Jacey. She had not contacted him either.However, a few days later, Jacey received a Whatsapp message from Benjamin. There were many photos. It was a rather high-class living room. There were boxes in the living room. The living room was simple and noble, like a top-notch courtyard house.[This is the showroom and display cabinet for my mother's medieval jewelry. How about letting your mother take a look?] Benjamin said.[Where is this place? This place is so beautiful.][My mother's dowry. The courtyard house in Genovia.] Benjamin said.Jacey thought to herself, "As expec
Today, Benjamin had already returned home."How is it? How's your first time meeting your in-laws alone?" Calvin teased Ashlyn."It's quite good. I'm preparing to hold a medieval jewelry exhibition and then let my employees learn medieval video skills. I said that I wanted to use their jewelry as an exhibition, but they didn't even want the deposit. How generous," Ashlyn said lazily as she leaned against the sofa."It's… it's over?" Calvin looked at Ashlyn and said in surprise.Benjamin sat there and smiled."What else?" Ashlyn asked."What are you going to do this time? Aren't you going to look for your daughter-in-law? Did you see what she looked like?" Calvin poured a cup of tea for Ashlyn.After so many years, Ashlyn still hadn't changed from her usual macho self. In fact, she was even more macho than before. Perhaps Calvin had been the one to deal with everything after marriage, developing Ashlyn's habit of not using her brain.Of course, it only meant that she didn't use
For some reason, Ashlyn felt like crying when she saw this. In the past, these jewelry had traveled to another country. Now, these jewelry were all back with stories.She thought about how the person who owned these jewelry had brought them overseas and brought them back…She felt that the Irving family was worthy of admiration.Linda had gone out at some point. Seeing that Ashlyn was looking at her very seriously, she didn't disturb her.When she came in again, she was carrying a cup of coffee. The fragrant Americano she'd just ordered from the coffee machine on the first floor. It was made from good coffee beans.She handed the coffee to Ashlyn."Have a cup of coffee when you're tired. Anyway, these jewelry don't have long legs. They won't run away on their own," Linda said. "You can come and take a look whenever you want. I've always been here."Only then did Ashlyn feel that she had been watching for an hour or two, but she had always been like a pious primary school student
On Saturday afternoon, Ashlyn drove to Jacey's house, a very simple villa.Ashlyn knew that writers liked to live in such a quiet place because they had inspiration in such a place.Jacey's mother, Linda, was already standing on her steps to welcome her.Linda was dressed in a Chinese-style robe. She looked very ancient, but because she was slender, she looked especially good. She looked like a fairy.Ashlyn was dressed in a very fashionable modern outfit. She was wearing a knee-length skirt, pearl earrings, and earrings. She looked especially round and beautiful. One look and one could tell that she was the kind of person who had never experienced the blow of life."I'm Jacey's mother. Nice to meet you, Mrs. Conrad." Linda reached out and held Isobel's hand. "Jacey said that you're coming to our house to take a look. I am so happy. I specially brought all the jewelry from the other houses here and packed them up. If these jewelry can be displayed in the exhibition and let everyon
"Excuse me, how did you know about me?" Jacey asked."Oh, Benjamin's phone was on the table that day. He went to the washroom and I happened to see the photo album he was looking through. I picked it up and saw these few pieces of jewelry. You know it too. As jewelry makers, we won't let go of those rare jewelry no matter what. I asked Benjamin where these pieces of jewelry came from and he told me about you," Ashlyn said neither servile nor overbearing.She understood a girl's mentality very well. She knew that if the woman found out that the man had taken the initiative to leak her news to her parents, she would be very disgusted and feel passive. Therefore, she did not say that. Instead, she said that she had seen it herself. She even said that Benjamin was looking at these photos at that time.Jacey's heart would probably feel warm. After all, a man was looking at her photo behind her back. She should have a good impression of this man.Jacey really thought so. When she heard A
After Benjamin returned home, he showed Ashlyn the jewelry he had taken for Jacey.Ashlyn was very knowledgeable. One look at this jewelry and she knew that it was priceless.Moreover, the girl wearing the jewelry also had extremely good skin and was extremely delicate.Calvin, who was sitting at the side, also watched.However, Ashlyn didn't just look at the jewelry. She said, "You only bought jewelry. Who is this person wearing jewelry behind you?"Ashlyn asked Benjamin gossipily."Don't ask," Benjamin said.Ashlyn smiled. "You said that you only took photos of the jewelry but didn't take photos of her. Aren't you trying to arouse my curiosity? Now that I'm curious, you're not making a move. However, I've been working on researching National Jewelry recently, so I'm lacking samples in this area. When are you going to ask this girl out? Let me take a closer look. From her appearance, I think she's dressed very well. Moreover, I can see her face from her bone structure. I think
