Hugo opened the door while speaking to the person in the room. However, his gaze was fixed on Isobel's face. He said softly, "You're here?"Isobel nodded and looked into the room."It's not impossible for him to expand the Uranian projects. Anyway, Merania's projects in Deltz are everywhere now," Hugo said as he pulled Isobel along. He walked into the living room and sat on the sofa.It was only then that Isobel saw the person talking to Hugo. He looked like an important businessman. When he saw Isobel, he stood up and nodded."Let me introduce you. This is my girlfriend, Isobel Conrad." Hugo cut the earlier conversation short."Yes, I'm familiar with her. Miss Conrad is an outstanding representative of the women of Genovia. Everyone knows her," the other party said.Hugo's gaze immediately trailed over Isobel's face as if he was examining her."This is President Wilson of Lancelot Electrics," Hugo introduced Isobel.Isobel nodded politely."Have you had breakfast?" he asked h
Isobel was a little dazed by Hugo's teasing. She said, "Let's go to the mall and take a look.""Sure," Hugo said.This time, they went everywhere in Isobel's car.Isobel was absent-minded as she drove. When the red light turned green, she forgot to step on the accelerator, causing the cars behind her to honk."What are you thinking about?" Hugo tilted his head and asked her.She felt like she'd been exposed. "Oh, it's nothing."With that, she started the car and drove towards the most high-end Sky Mall.In the past, New East Mall was the largest luxury shopping mall in Genovia, but now, the biggest was Sky Mall. New East Mall still had a very good reputation and was a top luxury shopping mall."What do you want to buy for me?" Isobel asked him when they were almost at Sky Mall."Anything. You can even have me," Hugo said.He made Isobel's heart race again.This was the umpteenth time today.Isobel knew that this was not a good sign when she saw her heart leaning toward him.
Isobel chuckled and looked at Hugo from the corner of her eye. How could someone with his looks be with only one person? It didn't match his personality, either.She had been on the phone and did not notice that Hugo had already taken her hand and tugged her upstairs.The restaurants were all upstairs. All the famous restaurants felt very honored to be able to get a place in Sky Mall.After they went upstairs, a strong smell of food wafted into Isobel's nose.She was still on the phone with Celeste.She turned to glance at Hugo and saw that his nose was slightly scrunched up. He was probably not satisfied with the food here.Well, a person who ate such a dazzling array of dishes all day long would probably think of these restaurants like they were street food. Naturally, he was disdainful of them.Isobel held the phone in one hand and continued to chat with Celeste. At the same time, she gently tugged at Hugo's sleeve, indicating for him to follow her.The two of them exited Sk
Isobel smiled and shook her head. "We're still flirting.""Flirting? Do people still do that in this day and age? If you like him, just have your way with him. Look at his figure—I'm tempted just by looking at him. Hurry up and sleep with him. If you don't, you're useless," Dina commanded.Isobel smiled vaguely and said, "Okay."She walked out of the room, looking pleased."What did you talk about? Why are you so happy?" Hugo asked.Isobel took a sip of her tea. "I can't tell you about someone else's private matters, but I can tell you that Dina ordered me to sleep with you soon. She said that you have a good figure and that sleeping with you would be wholly beneficial for me."She sized him up as if she was sizing up her prey.To her surprise, these words displeased Hugo. "So, when do you plan on having your way with me?"Isobel smiled mysteriously. "As long as I'm still interested in you, I'll naturally want to sleep with you. A friend of mine… no, never mind."Isobel wanted
Hugo understood what Isobel was trying to say. He admired her calm and collected words."I was right. It looks like you're trying to lure me to stay in Merania." Hugo lowered his head and chuckled. Isobel was indeed talented and smart.Isobel chuckled. "That's not what I meant. You can come to Merania whenever you want. If you don't want to, I won't force you.""You might not mean that, but that's what I understand from it," Hugo said after taking a sip of tea.At this moment, two people came into the courtyard. Isobel quickly stood up and greeted him."Hello, Mr. Dawson," she said politely."Isobel?" Connor Dawson was a good friend of Calvin's.He was in his prime. His companion was young enough to be his daughter—or even younger than his daughter—maybe 18 or 19.Isobel was used to it. Connor switched partners so quickly that he didn't even bat an eye when running into others."Yeah, it's me. Here for a meal, Mr. Dawson?" Isobel asked. Hugo also stood up.He was a head talle
As soon as they entered the hotel room, Hugo pressed Isobel against the door and kissed her. At the same time, he whispered into her ear, "Isobel, Isobel…"Isobel's face gradually turned red.Her hand reached for Hugo's belt, but Hugo stopped her."What's wrong? Can't we?" she looked up and asked him. Her eyes were filled with tenderness, making it hard for him to control himself."Did you treat other men like this in the past?" he asked her.Hugo remembered her saying that she was no longer…She sniggered. "Are you afraid that Ella will be out for your blood if she finds out you're not a virgin anymore? In Merania, no one cares about this at all—men can't, and women don't. Anyone who nitpicks about these things is seen as feudal; I wouldn't want that. Besides, people from families like mine would be made fun of if people were to find out we were being such prudes. You're really something else, President Flint.""Isobel!" Hugo growled."What? You've been seducing me left, right
The next day, when Calvin went to the company, he heard a business partner talk about Hugo being Isobel's boyfriend. Everyone said that they were a match made in heaven and were extremely compatible, whether in terms of looks or their family background.The entire Genovia knew about them.The business partner even said secretively, "President Conrad, you might not know this, but Hugo already has a fiancée in Deltz. She's related to the royal family."In other words, he was saying that if Isobel were to marry Hugo, she would never be his first wife.How could Calvin stand that? Benjamin had already mentioned to him that Hugo's fiancée was a relative of the royal family, but Isobel didn't seem to care about this.In the afternoon, he went to look for Isobel and told her not to contact Hugo for the time being.The father and daughter had always had an amicable relationship—they were more like friends than parent and child. Even when discussing such a sensitive subject, the atmospher
There were only a few people in the VIP lounge.Hugo was sitting on a soft sofa. Isobel didn't know whether it was because there weren't many people around or because he was just too outstanding. Either way, he was all she saw. He had his legs crossed and watched her approach him.Isobel laughed and let out a long sigh of relief. "You saw me earlier, didn't you? Why didn't you call me?""I wanted to see how anxious you'd be," he said.It was from this moment that Hugo saw Isobel's sincerity.Isobel seemed to have seen Hugo's heart as well…Although his gaze was sharp, she knew that he was telling the truth."Your plane has already taken off," she said."Didn't you invite me to the North Coast?"Isobel could not help but laugh again. "So, are you going?""Have you bought the plane tickets?" Hugo asked her.She bought him a ticket to the North Coast.Fortunately, there were not many people on this plane. They managed to get two seats beside each other.This was the first tim
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
