FAZER LOGIN“She’s been busy with work since she arrived in Meadspring. I couldn’t be of help, so I came to visit you first.”Laurent got interested. He asked, “Aren’t you both business competitors?”He had received a call from Suzy saying that the seventh young master of the York family from Wiltspoon would be visiting. Therefore, he had someone investigate River’s latest information urgently. That was how he knew River and Rosalie were competitors in Solville. It would be inappropriate to dig further, as he had some ties with the Yorks, so he only knew general information that the people of Solville were also aware of. “We’re only competitors in business, not in life. Our relationship can change.”River smiled. “To be honest, Rosalie and I admire each other a lot outside of business. It’s rare to meet someone so compatible with me.“I don’t want to give her up. Crest Co. is trying to venture into a new direction. No one will be enemies forever in the business world.”Laurent understood
Laurent entered.River told Rosalie, “The head of the Lafayette family is back. I’ll need to hang up now.”“Okay. I’m almost done with my work and can head over soon.”They ended the call.Just as River was standing and putting his phone back into his pocket, Laurent came to him.“Hi, Mr. Lafayette.”River greeted him with a smile.Laurent returned the smile and said, “You must be River York. You resemble Zachary.”Since River’s and Zachary’s fathers looked alike, it was no surprise that the York cousins would bear some resemblance to each other.River replied, “I do share similar features with my cousins. We’re related by blood after all.”The York brothers shared the same paternal grandparents and had a close relationship with each other.Laurent shook River’s hand and invited him to take a seat. Meanwhile, he took off his black suit jacket and handed it to Suzy.Suzy left after taking it.Moments later, she returned with a cup of tea for her husband.“Have a nice chat
“Are Connor and Chloe having a good time at Wildridge Manor? It's been a while since I last saw them,” Suzy asked about her niece and nephew.Without waiting for River's reply, she continued, “Originally, Jane planned to bring the children back right after summer vacation started, but Laurence and your eldest sister-in-law's nephew—that child is called Sonny, right?“They’d promised to meet during this holiday, and Jane has always respected the children's decisions. Since Laurence wanted to go to Wildridge Manor first, they decided to go there before coming back.”River apologetically said, “I haven’t been home much as I’ve been in Solville all along, too busy with work. I only go back during the Christmas holiday. But I imagine the children are all having a great time.“All six of my older brothers have brought their children back to our ancestral home. The manor is liveliest during winter and summer vacations.”Suzy smiled. “It’s a good thing Old Mrs. York is so tolerant. Small
Hearing Zachary’s words, Alex finally breathed a sigh of relief.He said, “I told you earlier it was nothing. You should go back. There’s no need to stay here to watch over me. My butler can handle it.”Peter pointed out, “You said you were fine and didn’t need to be hospitalized. Now, you’re practically chomping at the bit to stay longer.”Kevin laughed. “He won’t be discharged until he has stayed at least half a month. The injuries on his hands won’t heal that quickly, and it’ll take that amount of time, at least.”Half a month would be plenty of time for Alex to thoroughly learn about Sheila.Given the caliber of the York men, half a month would also be enough to leave a strong impression on Sheila.Alex’s handsome face flushed slightly.In front of his brothers, there was no point in hiding his thoughts, nor could he really conceal them.“You guys should head back now.”Alex urged his two brothers to go home.He did not want them sticking around to watch his drama unfold.
For particularly important matters, if they did not dare to make decisions on their own, they could always call and ask their brothers.“I’ll get Alex’s housekeeper to come to the hospital to take care of him and bring him dinner later.“Peter and I will go back to work tomorrow.”Though Kevin and his family usually lived in Jensburg, the hotels he managed were not limited to that city. Their chain extended to Wiltspoon and other major cities across the country. He also had an office at the York Corporation headquarters. Since he was back in Wiltspoon, he naturally had to check in at the office.“Alright.”They ended the call.Kevin looked at Alex.Under his brother’s gaze, Alex felt a bit uneasy and asked, “Kevin, why are you looking at me like that? What did Zachary say on the phone? I thought I heard him mention something about going to visit Austin?”Had Austin and his family not already returned? They had all gathered together. Why would they need to go to Austin’s place a
Seeing Alex’s expression, Peter added, “Do you want us to help you look into it?”Alex declined, “No need, I’ll look into it myself.”Peter smiled. “Alright then. It’s your business, after all. It’s better if you handle it yourself.”“I’m fine, so you guys can head back now, before the elders at home start suspecting something. I’ll call my housekeeper to come take care of me.”The examination had confirmed that only his hands had suffered any real injury. Though bandaged, they still hurt, making it difficult for him to manage entirely on his own. Still, he did not need his brothers to stay and watch over him either.His brothers could go back and do what they needed to do. He just needed one person to assist him, mainly for meals, since it was too painful for him to use his hands.The thought that he was nearly thirty and yet still needed to be fed made Alex a bit self-conscious. Though, to be fair, these were special circumstances.Right then, Kevin’s phone rang.He pulled it
