"Depends," Jacob said, "I'll stay here for a few days this time, and when I go back, I'll discuss it with Herald."She remained silent.Her project hadn't started filming yet, so these past few days she had been taking Jacob around, and as soon as they got home, they couldn't wait, even in public places. They were becoming more and more familiar with each other, and increasingly inseparable.Over these days, Cecilia hadn't returned. Natasha called her several times, and she always said she was at the old house. In fact, Natasha knew exactly where she was, and a deep sadness washed over her heart.About ten days later, Jared called Jacob to say he was back in Crullfeld. He wanted to discuss his future work plans with Jacob. Currently, Joshua had invited Jared to his company, but Jared wanted to come back and help Jacob. He had always been closer to Jacob than his older brother, Joshua, and the gap between him and Joshua was too significant...Furthermore, there were things to atten
Jacob didn't invite Natasha to stay at his house because he knew it wouldn't be practical. They weren't married yet, and if she stayed at his place for an extended period, his parents and family would look down on her. He was considering buying a house outside; staying at Queta’s house was just a temporary arrangement, after all... It wasn't that convenient.Natasha felt he didn't love her enough since he didn't invite her to his house. Although she wouldn't go even if invited, the fact that he didn't extend the invitation was another matter. This made her feel quite uneasy, thinking, “Just as I thought, men lose interest once they've gotten what they want.”Recently, Jacob had been busy at home discussing matters. He might be taking over the New East Corporation. Neil and Calvin were planning to step down and enjoy their lives.After Jared returned to Crullfeld, he went to Joshua's company. Jacob had originally wanted him to help with his own company, but Joshua said Jacob's compan
The driver thought to himself, "Didn’t Mr.Jacob tell her such huge matter?"However, he closed his lips and said, "Mr. Jacob was afraid of alarming you, so he hasn't mentioned it to you. He knew you were coming soon, so he planned to tell you personally."Natasha tightly pursed her lips and remained silent.Regardless of whether he was trying to spare her feelings or not, the fact remained that he hadn't said a word about this matter to her.She lowered her head, playing with her fingers, her heart a turmoil of emotions.After dropping Natasha off at Queta's house, the driver left, saying that Jacob would come to see her in the afternoon.Seeing her arrival, Queta was particularly happy. She actively helped her cousin with her luggage. Brook was also quite pleased. The house had always been just Queta and Natasha, which made it a bit monotonous and boring. Having one more person was nice.This time, Queta had arranged a separate room for Natasha."Jacob took over the New East C
"Quit being cheeky," Natasha frowned slightly, turning her face towards Jacob."Where are we going?" Jacob, like a puppy, drew closer to Natasha, pampering and sweetly asking. He used his scruffy beard to brush against Natasha's face as he spoke."Let's go out. Don't do these kinds of things in someone else's house," she said, then picked up a nearby piece of clothing and draped it over herself. The two of them walked out.In the cool evening breeze, the two of them strolled along the streets. Genovia’s bustling nightlife gave Natasha a sense of familiarity with her hometown. Jacob talked to her about how Jared had gone to work at Joshua’s company. They wondered about Neil's thoughts in handing over the conglomerate to him."He must believe you have some kind of talent to succeed. Inheriting the company isn't child's play," she remarked. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?""I didn't have the time."Natasha also mentioned that the female lead of the new script had been changed, and
In the offices of New East Corporation, there was an unexpected visitor - Wendy. Today, she had abandoned her usual arrogant demeanor, appearing polite and courteous. Her voice was much softer too."President Meng, I'm truly sorry. Last time at the Hill Villa, I had too much to drink. That wasn't the real me. I used to be a popular actress. How could I have done something like that?" Wendy said, her tone contrite. "Please forgive me."She couldn't have imagined that one day, Herald would ascend to the position once held by Calvin. This change was nothing short of drastic. While she regretted her past actions, she also hoped to seek Herald's help. Since the incident at the Hill Villa, Zoe had been in a state of desolation. She went to Thailand with her agent to avoid the domestic media. There were no acting offers for her, and she was close to being broke. Wendy had managed to borrow 40 million dollars from her, but she still owed Henry money. Frustrated, she desperately wanted to bri
In the evening, Jacob sent a message to Natasha, saying that he had to go home for some business discussions with Neil about the company. He told her to take her time looking at houses and not to rush.‘I've already bought a house.’ Natasha messaged Jacob.Natasha didn't like voice messages; she preferred sending text messages. These conversations would become sweet evidence of their love in the future. Texts looked sweet and romantic, unlike phone calls, which could easily be forgotten.She also sent Jacob several pictures of the house – it was clean, tidy, not too big, yet very cozy. She even placed a KAWS figurine on a shelf, adding a lively touch.‘You've already bought it? Why didn't my phone show any credit card charges?’ Jacob asked.‘I used my own money to buy it.’Jacob's call came immediately after."Why did you use your own money?" He was obviously somewhat upset."If you had paid for it, wouldn't I be living off you? I don't want that kind of life," she explained.
Natasha was the first person who didn't face opposition from others, and as a result, everyone was exceptionally warm towards her. She was sensible, well-mannered, graceful, and even helped in the kitchen. She possessed all the qualities of a well-bred lady. This extended to her clothing as well – a white blouse and jeans. Her hair wasn't long, but it exuded a unique charm.During the meal, Calvin asked her, "What kind of movie are you working on now?"Natasha quickly put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth with a tissue, and replied, "It's nothing, Mr. Calvin. I was supposed to work on a script written by Xaria. The script was really good, and I was looking forward to it. Originally, Hollywood actress Kelly was supposed to play the female lead, but she tore up the contract, which led the investors to pull out. So, the project is currently on hold. Recently, I've been thinking of making a documentary, recording the changes of the four seasons in the countryside. I already have a nam
This time, the visit to the Lawrance family went exceptionally well. Everyone was urging Jacob to quickly marry Natsha.He responded, "Let me get through this busy period first."She also chimed in, "Let me finish shooting this documentary and movie."Natasha called Xaria and mentioned that Mr. Calvin from Genovia was interested in funding the project. However, they wanted Xaria to adapt the script to be more relevant to Crullfeld's context. Xaria agreed, especially since Natasha had bought a house in Crullfeld. Xaria booked a flight for herself and Cecilia to come over in a week.Upon hearing that Xaria and Cecilia were coming together, Natasha felt a bit uneasy. However, she consoled herself by thinking, "My mom will be fine alone in Lost Valley. It's a good chance for her to explore Genovia."In the days before Xaria and Cecilia arrived, Jacob would rush over to Natasha's place right after work. The two would engage in intimate moments, and Jacob would also complain."Why did
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
