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
Logically speaking, there was nothing wrong with this condition that the Ashweirans had proposed. It was necessary to inspect the location, but the fact that they specifically wanted Isobel to do it made her feel something was amiss. She felt that every other condition they'd stipulated was for show—what they really wanted was for her to head to Hedenda.Isobel had been leaning against her chair and thinking about the problem. Should she do it or not?If she did, she was afraid that she would fall into the other party's trap.She knew that many people in Ashweir coveted women from other places…"Sir, sir…" Outside the office door, there was a commotion at the front desk.Isobel returned to her senses and looked up to see Hugo walking into her office.This was probably the first time he had deigned to visit her office.The arrival of a "god" made her feel somewhat honored."You can leave first," Isobel said to the receptionist.The receptionist went out.Hugo stood in front of
Most people would only watch the news when they had nothing to do. There were also some people who did not watch it at all. After all, the news had nothing to do with most people.Isobel was very busy with her work and had no intention of reading the article.However, Benjamin specifically mentioned her. [Isobel, did Hugo do this for you? If he did, then your charm knows no end! When Hector and I were in Deltz, we could already tell you were different to him.]Only then did Isobel read the article. Hugo had called off his engagement with Ella and the Hunt family, giving up all the business his family had gotten from the Hunt family decades ago. When the Flint family had just settled in Deltz, they relied on the Hunt family to build their empire. Now that the engagement had been called off, the business empire had to lose a third of its business. Though the business had been built up based on their own hard work, it had originated from the Hunt family.Moreover, Hugo had changed his
What Hugo did made Isobel feel sweet. She remembered that he had once asked her to knit a sweater for him because he wanted to savor her feelings. Isobel thought that since he was willing to make such a huge sacrifice, it was fine for her to knit a sweater for him. Moreover, she wanted to knit two sweaters for him so that he could switch them up. This way, he would not feel that there were no clothes to change into when he came to Merania in the future. She didn't know why she felt that way, but she just had a feeling Hugo would settle in Merania.After thinking about it, she decided he looked better in smoky gray and deep blue. Therefore, Isobel specially told her classmate whose family owned the yarn factory about this.Classmate: [Isobel, aren't these two colors for men? What's going on? I'm curious to know which man managed to win you over.]Isobel: [Nothing's happened yet.]Classmate: [That's what you say, but you're already knitting him sweaters. It's fine if you don't want t
The next day, Ella entered Hugo's office in tears."Hugo, can you tell me why?" she said. "It's not like you don't know how I feel about you.""I know, but I can't do it."Hugo and Ella's marriage had been agreed upon since they were young. There was nothing in black and white, but everyone knew that the men of the Flint family would marry the women of the Hunt family. This was because decades ago, the Flint family had once relied on the Hunt family. Even though they no longer had any financial dealings with each other, the dependency was already in place.As the eldest son, Hugo had an undeniable responsibility since he was young."Hugo, as long as you marry me, you can marry whoever you want in the future. I won't object," Ella said."I can't do that," Hugo said."Is it because she won't allow you to?" Ella said in distress. "The woman you love—is she the one who wanted you to change your nationality?""No, it's not because of that. It's because your family's been using the p
In his mind's eye, Hugo saw the young woman in the coffee-colored coat laughing cheerily. It was as if she would jump out of his imagination and fall into his arms.Initially, he did not have any feelings for the North Coast. If he had come alone, he would not have felt anything. However, because of Isobel, he couldn't help feeling fond of the place.After that, he went to the Genovia International Hotel and sent Isobel a WhatsApp message. [I'm at the Genovia International Hotel. Come over for a while.]Isobel replied with a few question marks, then said: [Why didn't you tell me you were coming? Do you think of me as a friend or not?]Hugo: [Friend?]Isobel: [Are you joking, President Flint? You were just talking about wanting me to do you. Should I send you a screenshot?]Hugo: [I'll be going to your place tonight. Let your family know.]Isobel immediately called him. She could still remember that his last visit to her house hadn't ended well. She'd been uncomfortable because o
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
