Chapter 1318

Author: Gu Lingfei
Lily agreed. “I’m like that too. I only talk about work while I’m at work, and no talking shop while I’m resting.

“Duncan, can I ask you some questions?”

Duncan replied, “Go ahead.”

“Our parents want us to be a couple, and I’m quite pleased with you. You can say that I like you very much, but it’s definitely too early to say that I love you. However, I believe I will be able to fall in love with you with time.”

In Lily’s eyes, Duncan was her target.

She liked him and wanted to conquer him, but when it came to love... Even she did not believe she loved him now, let alone Duncan.

There was no such thing as love at first sight when it came to them.

“However, you keep running away from me. Is it because I’m not good enough? Or do you have another person in your heart?”

Duncan did not expect Lily to be so blunt about it.

She did not hide anything or beat around the bush. Instead, she asked him directly. This character of hers was quite suitable as a friend.

He looked at Lily. For

    Duncan did not like his mother setting him up with girls, but he had to admit that Lily’s words were reasonable.“After talking about it, I think we share similar views, and you also think I’m excellent. Why don’t we give it a try? If you still can’t fall in love with me, I won’t continue to pester you.”It was not like Lily had no other suitors.Duncan was silent.“Do you have someone you like, Duncan?”“No.”Duncan denied that he had someone he liked, but the image of that once-fat figure gradually slimming down flittered in his mind.He adamantly denied to Zachary and the others that he had any feelings for Liberty.Why did he suddenly think of her now?He liked Sonny, not Sonny’s mom.Duncan snapped back to his senses and hurriedly waved Liberty’s figure out of his mind, not daring to think about her again.Lily smiled. “Since you don’t have anyone you like, let’s give it a try. If you have someone you like, tell me who she is and I’ll see how I’m inferior to her. I’ll t

    Liberty said that there was no need to force herself if she could not meld into the social circle.When it was time, she could step into the circle naturally without deliberately trying to.Zachary appreciated that part about his sister-in-law.She knew her place but did not put herself down.“Am I wearing this? I don’t think it looks good.”Serenity looked at the gown Zachary picked out for her and felt that there was something odd about it. However, she could not pinpoint what it was.“It’s good, it’s very good. You have a good figure, good looks, and a great mien. You’ll look good in anything.”Serenity held the gown and said, “I’ll go pick one myself.”All the clothes in the cloakroom were prepared by Zachary. There were so many different evening gowns that she could open up a dress store.When Serenity chose her dresses, she only cared if they looked good and did not bother picking the ones that covered the most skin. As a result, every gown she picked was rejected by Zac

    “I’ll help you with your makeup, honey.”Serenity complied with his wishes and changed into the most conservative dress in her wardrobe. Zachary volunteered to help his wife with her makeup again.Serenity refused without even thinking about it.“I still care about my appearance.”Her words made Zachary’s mouth flap several times without saying anything.His reaction amused Serenity, and she asked with a smile, “Do you know how to do makeup? Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. You’re going to paint my face like a ghost so no one will look at me.”Zachary was speechless. “I’ve never helped a woman with her makeup before, but I wouldn’t make you look like a ghost to scare people.”“Forget it, I can’t trust you. I’ll do it myself. Go and get yourself ready. We’ll be heading out soon.”Zachary refused to leave and said, “I don’t have anything to prepare. I just need to change into a suit, switch my home slippers for leather shoes, and the finishing touch will be you help

    Serenity could not stand his constant nagging.Zachary’s thin lips pursed as he complained, “Honey, why are you so mean to me? You’re annoyed with me.”Serenity wanted to kick him out. “If you don’t go out, I’m sleeping in the guest room tonight.”Zachary turned around and walked out, muttering pitifully, “My wife is annoyed with me, my wife is annoyed with me...”Serenity was speechless.She did not know whether to laugh or cry when it came to this man.Her body and soul already belonged to him—what did he have to worry about?Two minutes later, Zachary sat across from his parents.He looked at his father, who was decked out in a white suit, and said, “Dad, why are you wearing a white suit at your age? Are you trying to compare with me?”Liam said, “What’s that tone? Am I that old? I take care of my appearance. Your mom says we look like brothers if we stand together, not father and son. Your mom says I look dreamy dressed in a white suit, like Prince Charming in fairy tales.

    “Yes, my wife trained me well.”Liam opened his mouth but did not know what to say.His son was even more henpecked than he was.While the father and son chatted, the noblest pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in Wiltspoon descended the stairs.Zachary recognized at a glance that the jewelry Serenity was wearing was not from him. He knew that his mother gave it to her deliberately without having to ask.Indeed, Tania went upstairs to see her daughter-in-law put on makeup just to give her the set of jewelry stuffed in her bag to her daughter-in-law.In her words, the jewelry set was too bright for someone of her age, so it was more suitable for Serenity.Tania was born and raised in a wealthy family and received a lot of jewelry since she was a child. After she married into the York family, she was deeply favored by her husband, who also gave her a lot of jewelry. Her mother-in-law also presented her with several sets of expensive jewelry when she gave birth to Zachary.T

    Wiltspoon Hotel was closed for business since the very afternoon.The venue had been set up.As soon as the sky darkened, some small-time bosses arrived at the hotel.They felt that their status was lower, so they would be able to chat a little with the Marshall family if they arrived earlier. It would be their fortune if they managed to meet Old Mr. Marshall.If they came late, there would be too many people, and the venue would be full of influential bosses. Small-timers like them would be marginalized.In the past, Zachary did not arrive until it was very late.If he showed up, Clive would not appear.Tonight, many people wondered whether the two most exceptional CEOs in Wiltspoon would appear together.Would the new Mrs. York accompany Mr. York to the banquet?Although Mrs. York had been very active in the upper-class circles recently, she was always escorted by her aunt, Mrs. Stone.Thus, there were many rumors that Mrs. York did not get along with her mother-in-law beca

    Knock, knock.There was a knock at the door.Mr. Newman asked outside the door, “Honey, are you ready? Hurry up. We’re going to be late.”Mrs. Newman gave up on trying to punish Camryn again. After all, the plan tonight was to sell Camryn. If she punished her daughter too badly, she would not be able to sell her at a good price since others would not like her.“We’re ready.”Mrs. Newman said to Camryn, “Get out!”Camryn reached for her cane and was just about to walk when her cane was snatched from her hands by her mother. Mrs. Newman tossed the cane aside and said, “You don’t need a walking stick when attending a banquet.“Just follow me.”Mrs. Newman knew that Camryn could follow along so long as Camryn could hear her voice and footsteps.Camryn fell silent and quietly followed Mrs. Newman out of the room.Mr. Newman waited impatiently at the room door. When he saw the mother and daughter come out, his eyes lit up. He looked at his stepdaughter for a long time before saying

    Besides, Camryn only talked to humans. These people weren’t humans, so she could not be bothered with them.Mr. Newman took his wife downstairs, crossed the magnificent hall, and walked out of the main house.The car the couple was going to ride in was ready, and there was a separate car for bodyguards.“Honey, if Mr. York brings his wife to the banquet, you should put aside your grudge and make good relations with his wife. Bow your head first and see if you can win Mrs. York’s favor. If it doesn’t work, then use Camryn.”“Haven’t we bowed enough? We’ve been bowing since the first altercation and made all sorts of apologies, but what good did that do? Mr. York was born cold-hearted. That’s the kind of person he is, but Serenity is such a hateful person.“She called the police and threatened to sue us at the drop of a hat. She doesn’t understand the way of the world at all and will even bicker with a child. Isn’t she going to have to deal with us ladies for the rest of her life? S

    Austin quickly left the CEO’s office. Just as he stepped out, he ran into Tati, who was looking for Isabella.“Ms. Tati,” Austin greeted politely.Tati nodded and waited for Austin to leave before she knocked on the office door and entered.“Austin came early today to cook for you,” Tati said, holding a folder in her hand and opening it as she walked toward Isabelle.She sat down at the desk, handed over the folder, and said, “Isa, this is urgent. Please take a look.”Isabella took the document, glancing through it as she replied, “He comes around this time every day, neither early nor late.”“That Longbottom fellow came by again?” Tati asked.It was only after Mr. Longbottom had directly asked to see Isabella that Tati found out the old lecher had come again.“Yes, but I didn’t meet him. He brought some gifts, claiming they were holiday presents for us. I had them sent back. He’s too ambitious, and he has bad intentions. We’re absolutely on guard against him. Why would we give

    Isabella turned her head to look at Austin.Austin stopped the massage and asked in a gentle voice, “Are you feeling any discomfort? I can work on it. I don't give people massages often, so I don’t have much experience. I'll keep giving you more massages as practice so I'll be able to serve you better.”“It's not that,” Isabella smiled. “It's actually very comfortable. It’s just that I really want to meet your grandmother every time you mention her.”In Isabella's mind, Austin's grandmother had already become something of a legendary figure.Austin thought to himself, ‘Nana’s already met you. You probably met her before, you just didn't know it was her.’His nana had surely spent a lot of time observing Isabella, getting to know her, and confirming that her character and abilities were suitable for him before choosing Isabella for him.“When you’re less busy, if you’re willing, you can come visit us in Wiltspoon. Lots of flowers bloom in spring, and there’s beautiful scenery ever

    When Isabella first took over the family business, many of her grandparents' and parents' friends and relatives openly tried to sabotage her. They played dirty tricks, schemed, and tried various ways to undermine her.They wanted to take advantage of her, and they also did not want her to take control of the family’s legacy. They tried to prevent her from establishing herself in the company, even going as far as to collaborate with outsiders to trap her.She had suffered countless setbacks, faced numerous conspiracies, and even experienced several so-called accidents, nearly losing her life. It was only after all this that she truly understood the treachery of human nature. From that point on, she learned to arm herself with cold indifference.Though she was taking over her own family’s business, it felt like she had to fight through a bloody battle to secure her place, as if she were a king striving to ascend the throne. It was exhausting and disheartening.However, she endured an

    Austin said, “He’s definitely here to discuss a potential partnership with your company.“He's just the acting head of the Longbottoms. He doesn’t truly control the family. If the real head returns, everything he’s worked for will go to someone else.“The downfall of Belinda Fisher probably gave him a wake-up call and he doesn’t want to end up like that.“He’s definitely seeking to cooperate with you regarding his personal business. He’s just using the Longbottoms’ name, since their influence in Windermere is enormous.”In terms of wealth, the O'Connors and the Longbottoms were on equal footing, but the O'Connors had fewer members and did not have the same level of influence in Windermere as the Longbottoms.Isabella said, “He’s very ambitious. A partnership would only just be the beginning. Once it’s established, he’ll start thinking about how to cheat us and steal our business.“Plus, he’s very lecherous. Nobody can put a number to how many women he’s toyed with. Some even lost

    Tony was aware that whenever his wife had to play the villain, it was always to protect him. He said, “You're right, I misspoke. Your mother isn’t that kind of person.”“Manny, I’ll be leaving soon. You stay here, and I’ll leave half of my men with you. If anything comes up that you can't handle, contact me. I’ll be waiting to hear good news from you.” Tony decided to fly to Wiltspoon in the afternoon. He would only stay for two or three days before returning to Havenmill to handle business.However, as he thought about how he was working like a horse for Longbottom Corporation when many of the benefits did not even belong to him personally, Tony felt a bit disgruntled.“Got it.” Manny did not reject his father’s arrangement.As the Longbottom father and son were discussing how to deal with the O’Connors, Austin entered Isabella’s office.Isabella was busy, so Austin did not disturb her. He quietly sat at the tea table and made some tea.“It seems you’ve learned the art of tea-

    Manny had never been to Wiltspoon, but he knew from his father that several prominent families in Wiltspoon had close ties with the Johnsons from Annenburg. It was possible that the child adopted by the Johnsons’ young missus was Laurence. Unfortunately, he could not meet that child, so he could not be a hundred percent certain. The child was currently out of sight and well-protected, hidden so effectively that even the Longbottoms’ information network could not find anything. The other prominent families in Wiltspoon were also helping to keep the child hidden, so Manny deeply disliked the people from these families. Even though they were thousands of miles away, they were still an obstacle to him and his father in their pursuit of becoming the true head of the family.“That's right. If we can conquer the O’Connors, we’ll have a backup plan,” his father said. “You must put your all into it, son. If you need help, just let me know, though this is also an opportunity for you to ge

    Tony Longbottom was the only person who would put on such a parade. The big shots in Satbury usually had entourages of their own, but none would put on a spectacle as big as Tony would.As they departed in their car, Tony’s gracious demeanor utterly shattered.His face twisted into an ugly, cruel expression as he said, “I’ve never been treated like this before, even when the legitimate branch of the family still lived, and those two ignorant little girls actually refused to see me multiple times.”Manny was very angry too and he said, “Pops, since they refuse to go about this the easy way, we’ll have to show them the hard way. We can approach it from other angles, and once they’re completely out of business and they have nowhere else to turn to, they’ll be at our mercy.“Won’t they have to do as we please then? I want to marry them, they’ll have to marry me, and if I don’t, I’ll just make them my mistresses. Don’t the O’Connors have plenty of daughters? I’ll fuck every one of them

    “Isabella O’Connor is so outstanding, so why are you asking me to go for Tati O’Connor instead?” Manny said under his breath in puzzlement.He had seen photos of the two ladies and Isabella’s appearance was more striking. She had a cold and aloof aura that easily triggered his desire to conquer her, and after just a few glances, he was captivated.If it were up to him, Manny would choose Isabella.Tony looked at his son, smiled, and said, “You can’t control her. Of course, if you manage to make her fall for you, we can talk about switching. But for now, focus on Tati O’Connor.”Tati was also beautiful. However, she did not have Isabella’s cold demeanor. She seemed much gentler, like she smiled often.“Marrying Tati O’Connor would be a big advantage for both you and our family.”Manny thought for a moment and then nodded in understanding. “Got it, Dad.”Manny’s good looks, wealth, honeyed tongue, and generosity toward girls made him good at winning them over.

    After testing the O’Connor sisters and realizing they were not like other women, Mr. Longbottom thought of having his son marry Tati.He knew that his son would not be able to handle or control Isabella, so he set his sights on Tati. Tati probably did not realize she was considered an easy target. Most people underestimated her because she had always kept a low profile.At that moment, a young man got out from the other side of the Rolls-Royce. He resembled Mr. Longbottom. Indeed, he was Mr. Longbotton’s eldest son, Manny.“Dad.”Manny went to his father’s side and glanced at the building before him. He asked, “Aren’t we driving inside?”In Havenmill, Manny could do whatever he wished because his father was the interim head of the Longbottom family. While he had no respect for ordinary people at all, he was clever enough not to offend people he should not.He never parked his car outside the places he wanted to go and simply drove his car through the gates. However, Manny
