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
Isobel's cashmere sweater was given to her by a classmate whose family reared their own sheep and owned a textile factory. This sweater was made from pure cashmere and was thin but warm. Though none of their products had logos on them, they were still priceless. Ever since Isobel had started wearing these cashmere sweaters, she couldn't settle for any other.Isobel was indeed very beautiful; she wasn't the type one could stumble upon. At least Hugo had never met anyone like her in Deltz.Her beauty made him…Hugo had once observed Isobel. At the time, she'd visited him at his office, and his heart had immediately lifted at the sight of her. Now, she made him feel like life was perfect. He couldn't help thinking that it'd be amazing to have her forever in his life.At this moment, she was bending down to light fireworks for the little kid.She smiled, and the light of the fireworks shone on her face, beautiful and resplendent…After lighting it, she ran away nimbly and covered her
Isobel also realized that Celeste was right—that once she embarked on a relationship with him and her feelings for him grew, she'd willingly marry him despite him having other wives. She wanted to clear the obstacles in her path while she was still clear-headed.Of course, she knew that it was a fool's dream for her to do so. Still, she wanted to take a gamble. If it did not work, then forget it.When this thought appeared in her mind, she was a little afraid. She originally only wanted to date him. Why was her greed growing to the point that she wanted to be his only wife?Perhaps the sight of him sitting alone in the VIP lounge had somehow moved her.The two of them walked until they reached a stall.The stall owner was a yarn seller. There were all kinds of yarn. The stall owner was using an old-fashioned spinner to spin the thread. In the past, Isobel had only seen this kind of spinner in books and had never seen the real thing. At this moment, she stuffed her hands into her c
Hugo opened the door. It was Isobel."I bet you're hungry," she said with her hands behind her back.He had already taken off his thin jacket and was only wearing the T-shirt underneath.When in Deltz, the T-shirts he wore were usually quite loose. This time, because he was wearing it inside, it was a little tight, revealing his broad shoulders and narrow waist. It made Isobel drool."What are you doing here?" He walked into the room.He turned around and saw her staring at him greedily."Is that all you care about?" he growled.This only strengthened his resolve not to sleep with her.Honestly, he found it strange. In the beginning, he was the one who had been toying with Isobel. Why was he so against it now that she was finally interested?Isobel returned to her senses. "Oh, uh, I had the hotel's kitchen make you something to eat.""What is it?"Isobel revealed the exquisite lunch box behind her. "Enchiladas. You'll have to starve if you don't eat these."Hugo was famishe
After Isobel landed in Emmeria, she went to her Aunt Cassandra's house. Celeste said that she was there.She suddenly felt very lonely after being separated from Hugo. She felt uncomfortable and disappointed.As soon as she entered, Celeste threw her arms around her and started crying.Isobel noticed that her eyes were swollen from crying. The waterworks must've been going for a long time."What's wrong?" Isobel hugged her back and comforted her gently."He… We…" Celeste was angry and embarrassed. She didn't know how to express herself.Isobel scrutinized her for a long time before her eyes widened. "You guys… did it?"Celeste's wails grew louder.Looks like she'd hit the nail on the head!Isobel thought about how she wasn't even 24. Celeste was only 18…"I thought Uncle Ned didn't allow you guys to do that. Did Dexter lose control?" She patted Celeste's back as they sat on the bed.She took a look at the bedsheets. They looked newly changed."How did it happen?" Isobel saw
Dexter did not say anything. He only carried Celeste to the other bed with a frown. Then, he went to the kitchen to get her some warm milk. However, they were out of milk, so he went downstairs to get some.When he put the warm milk on Celeste's bedside table, she had already fallen asleep but was still sniffling.Dexter sat by the bed and stroked her head for a long time. He even caressed her face.He regretted doing such a thing, but he was worried about her ignoring him.Just now, when he'd been talking to her about her earnings, she kept chatting with Colin. Dexter still remembered how Colin had wrapped an arm around her shoulder when they'd gone to see him at the company.He was willing to give her everything, yet she didn't seem to care. Even a fool wouldn't be able to stand it."I'll stay here with you." Dexter kissed Celeste's forehead."Get lost!" She threw a pillow at him. "I won't seek death. Why would I when I've just earned so much money? If I die and the money isn'
After this incident.When Dexter went to see Celeste the next day, he saw Isobel coming downstairs. He knew that Celeste had asked her to come over.He didn't call out to her, only sending her a WhatsApp message. [Isobel, please take good care of Celeste. I'm going back to Deltz for a few days.]He was almost done with his work in Blica and genuinely needed to return to Deltz.Isobel looked around but did not see him. He must have come to see Celeste and seen her.Back in the house, Isobel showed Celeste the message so that she'd know how much Dexter cared about her."Hmph, he's just afraid of having to take responsibility for my death!" Celeste said."Now, now. We all know he's not like that. Don't you?" Isobel said.Celeste was more or less bluffing.…Dexter returned to Deltz.He went straight to Hugo's office. As soon as he entered, he called out, "Hugo!"Hugo saw Dexter's serious expression and asked, "What's wrong?"Dexter didn't say a word and sat on the sofa.Hugo
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
