Chapter 1866 Checkmating Me Again

Author: Tiny Mountains
Calvin glanced at Isobel. He wanted to remind her about Hugo, but it was obvious that Isobel was too immersed in her thoughts to notice…

"Here's the deal—Isobel's still young, and I want to keep her around for another year. Take back the 20 million dollars; you'll need money for your business. Can you wait for another year? You two haven't been together for that long, and you spend most of your time apart. I guarantee that Isobel won't see anyone else over the next year. What do you think?" Damien said.

He rarely interfered with the Lawrence family's matters now, but he still had the final say in everything!

"Sure, but since I've brought the money, I won't take it back," Hugo said.

He was quite determined this time.

After that, they began to eat. Isobel did not speak to Hugo at the dining table.

After dinner, everyone sat on the sofa and chatted. Ned chatted with Hugo about his business in Deltz. After all, Dexter was pursuing Celeste, so Ned had to pave the way for his daughter.

    Isobel's heart seemed to be floating in her chest. It felt surreal."I'll leave first." With that, Hugo took his sweaters and left."If you're going back to Deltz, why are you taking your sweaters? You can't wear them there," Isobel said."You've given them to me, right? Isn't it up to me to decide what to do with them?" Hugo retorted.Isobel thought about it and agreed. She followed Hugo out.The people outside were chatting. As expected, they would occasionally glance at Isobel's room, wondering when Hugo would be out."Things are going too smoothly for them. We have to make them jump through hoops," Damien said.Calvin thought so too.Despite that, they had to admit that some people lacked hardship in their lives. They just didn't have treacherous people or homewreckers out to get them. Or perhaps, these people couldn't even survive a round in front of them.In fact, deep down in his heart, Calvin admired Hugo a little. To others, changing one's nationality was a huge probl

    Ned immediately booked a flight to Blica. Damn it, he had already warned Dexter time and time again that he could not touch Celeste before she was 22 years old. Was he a beast? Why couldn't he keep it in his pants?Ned did not tell anyone about this, even Cassandra. He didn't want her to worry.He did not tell his family either. If he did, what would they think of him?Seeing that Calvin had gotten an amazing son-in-law like Hugo, Ned was no longer as confident.Although it was normal for the younger generation to replace the older generation, Ned was still proud of himself for keeping up with the times. He wouldn't be eliminated so quickly, and he wanted to show Dexter who was boss so he wouldn't bully Celeste in the future. Even if she and Isobel were to marry the Flint brothers, Isobel wouldn't always be available to help.…After Celeste called Ned, she regretted it.After Isobel left, Dexter returned from Deltz.He knew that Celeste was angry, so he did not say a word.

    "You can try contacting him again!" Dexter knew it was easy for youngsters to agree to date someone if any one of them were to bring it up. Colin had always been interested in her, and she was still mad at him. Who knew whether she'd suddenly agree to sleep with Colin just to get back at him? Besides, Colin looked irresponsible and flighty; Dexter knew he had to keep Celeste on a tight leash.Unexpectedly, it was this sentence that angered Celeste."He's my classmate, Dexter. Are you going to control me in everything I do? Get lost!" Celeste smacked him with her mad, her anger making her lose her rationality. "What right do you have to boss me around all day? Who are you to me?""I'm your man!" Dexter's eyes were burning with anger as he grabbed her arm.Celeste could not move and was struggling. She recalled what had happened that day. "I'll never admit it. I'm calling my dad to deal with you since Isobel couldn't!"In the end, she broke free from Dexter and ran away. As she ran,

    "I can't do it!" Dexter stood upright and said angrily."Can't do it? If so, get out of here! Also, apologize to Celeste in front of me!" Ned pointed at Celeste.Even Celeste felt that her father was too harsh. After all, she did like Dexter. The reason why she treated him like that was more or less because she was a little spoiled. It was true that she was angry and knew that he would not do anything to her. It was also true because she knew that he doted on her and could not bear to see her suffer."Celeste, I'm sorry! I was wrong!" Dexter stood at the door and said to Celeste in the room.Celeste nodded vaguely. She already regretted it. She shouldn't have let her father know about this. Now that the matter had blown up, she didn't know how to handle this."Remember what I said just now!" Ned's tone improved when he saw Dexter apologize."I can't do it!" Dexter said insistently. "As long as I don't agree, the agreement isn't valid!""Do you think your opinion matters? Celeste

    Isobel thought to herself, 'Who is your fiancée?'Although he had proposed, it had only been perfunctory to show her family how he felt. How could she truly think of herself as his fiancée?Isobel quickly turned her attention back to the matter at hand. "How did you know?""Don't worry about this. Let me handle it. Will you be at the office in the afternoon?" he asked."Yeah.""Wait for me."After hanging up, she knew that it was Ella's doing. It must be because of Hugo. She did not have many connections in Deltz. Before she could think of a solution, Hugo had already found out.At around one in the afternoon, Hugo called Isobel again. "Get your identification card and business license, and come with me.""Where are we going?" Isobel was confused."Don't worry about it. I'm at your office. Hurry up," Hugo said.Isobel had no choice but to go down.When she opened the car door, she thought she would see an anxious and nervous face. After all, Isobel's company was affected bec

    Isobel knew she'd misunderstood him. He was only trying to protect her company.After he ended the call, he glanced at Isobel and spoke to the lawyer. They talked about the problems they needed to avoid in the business and the risks they might encounter in the future…He had been ignoring Isobel all this while, which made her uneasy and embarrassed.At this moment, Dexter pushed open the door and called out, "Hugo…"He saw Isobel and asked, "Isobel, you're here too?""Yeah." Isobel glanced at Hugo again. He was still talking to the lawyer. It was as if he did not notice her. He had also made a point to show her that he was ignoring her. He seemed to be asking, "What are you gonna do about it?""I'm busy," Hugo said to Dexter."Oh. I'll wait, then." Dexter was about to sit on the sofa when Isobel stopped him. "Shall we go out and have a chat?"Dexter was taken aback for a moment. Then, he figured it was probably because of Celeste.He went out with Isobel.Outside Hugo's offic

    Since the company was no longer in danger, Isobel put all her energy into her work.Over the next few days, Hugo did not contact her. It was different from when he was on the North Coast. In Deltz, he was back to his usual high and mighty self, making her feel anxious.Isobel originally wanted to send him a WhatsApp message to express her apology for misunderstanding him but decided against it after some thought. Since he wasn't willing to listen, why should she chase after him?Besides, they had nothing to do with each other yet.Isobel took care of business in Deltz for about a week before she bought a plane ticket back to Genovia.Before she left, Ian insisted on seeing her off, saying he also wanted to apologize for what Shannon had said to her.Isobel had just come downstairs with her luggage to see Ian already waiting downstairs in his car.She insisted it was fine. Because of what Shannon had said, she felt she had to keep her distance…"Hugo has already broken off his e

    Hugo only asked Dexter to bring over an old metal box. It was very different from the things he used to give. It was quite old and looked like it had been around for long."Hugo said to only look at it when you're on the plane," Dexter said. "Have a safe trip. When will you be in Deltz again?""I don't know. Maybe… maybe not for the time being." Isobel was a little sad.She really wanted Dexter to talk more about his brother, but he didn't say anything. He probably knew that Hugo wasn't someone who liked to talk about private matters.Finally, Isobel boarded the plane back to Genovia.On the plane, she opened the box that Hugo had given her. It seemed to be all the things he had played with when he was young: glass marbles, a rusty car, a math test that he'd scored full marks for, and an essay titled "The Person I Like".Perhaps the teacher's original intention was for everyone to write about their parents or grandparents…She didn't know what Hugo was thinking, but he'd written

    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
