The man said, “Ms. Daniels has high standards. I wouldn’t dare think about her.”“Ms. Daniels has no experience in love. As long as you coax her well and submit to her, she’ll fall for you because your physique resembles that man. Remember to maintain your figure. That is the secret to your success.”If he gained or lost weight, he would not look like Zachary anymore.“Okay, I understand.”In order to get rich, he would definitely keep himself in shape.When he delivered the takeout to Jenna, Jenna looked at him in a daze. He knew that it was because his figure really was similar to a certain someone whom Jenna admired.Shortly after the phone call, he received fifty thousand dollars. It was the reward given to him by the other party.All he had to do was deliver takeout to Jenna once and show his face, and he got paid fifty grand. The man felt that it was too easy to earn money from rich people....Meanwhile, at Wiltspoon Airport, Elisa dragged her suitcase while walking and
However, she was not familiar with him, and their paths rarely crossed.Julian said that he was here to pick her up!This astonished Elisa. She stood there, not knowing what to do.“Ms. Stone, these flowers are for you.”Remy brought a bouquet of flowers to receive Elisa, but so did Julian.Julian kept getting pestered by Andrew and lost a bet to him, so he had no choice but to help Andrew shake off Audrey.He would pretend to have feelings for Elisa and make Remy stressed and nervous. Furthermore, Audrey would not dare set him and Elisa up together the same way she tried for Andrew and Elisa.After all, Audrey could not keep track of Julian. How would she subtly set up the two?Audrey also did not dare to imagine Julian as her son-in-law. She knew very well that her daughter would not get along with him.Julian stuffed the bouquet into Elisa’s arms, and Elisa reflexively wrapped her arms around it.She looked down at the bouquet in her arms, then up at Julian. She finally sn
In order to cure Julian, his father looked everywhere for a girl who was ten years younger than him and arranged for him to have a blind date with those girls. His father told him to pursue those girls and see which one he had a reaction to.A girl ten years younger than him would only be twenty-four this year. That was very young.Julian was the same age as Duncan. They were some of the older bachelors in Wiltspoon high society, but Duncan was a year or two older than him.It was Grandma May’s trusted psychic that told his father that the girl who could make him a real man was ten years younger than him. However, the psychic did not say the girl’s name and appearance, so his father had to look for all the girls aged twenty-four.Julian did not believe that at all.Was there really such an amazing psychic?Julian reached out to pull Remy, and Remy followed him passively.Elisa was speechless.Were they not here to pick her up?Why were they going by themselves and leaving her
Remy smiled wryly. “Mr. Bucham, your actions scare me more than the sky falling down.”“As I’ve mentioned, I just want to pursue Ms. Stone, and I’m competing fairly with you. You have to work harder. If I really manage to win over Ms. Stone, then you’ll only suffer. After all, I have advantages over you. I’m from Wiltspoon.”Remy was speechless.Although Julian did not really like Elisa, he found this matter a bit interesting. It was not a bad idea to use it to kill time when he was bored.“Let’s go.”Julian walked forward again.Remy and Elisa followed him.Elisa comforted Remy. “No matter what he’s planning, he doesn’t really like me. You don’t have to worry.”“How can I not worry? Andrew hasn’t appeared for a while, but now Julian suddenly popped up. Does Mrs. Stone dislike me that much?” Remy felt pressure at the emergence of another strong love rival.He suspected that Julian was another love rival arranged by Audrey.Andrew was already enough to make Remy feel a sense o
The servant went to open the gate.The two cars drove into the Stone family’s large villa.Audrey and Alice only recognized Remy’s car, but not Julian’s car.They rarely even saw Julian himself, let alone his car.When Julian got out of the car and Audrey and Alice walked over, only then did Audrey realize that one of the men was Julian.“Good afternoon, Mrs. Stone.”Julian greeted Audrey with a bright smile when he saw her coming.“Mr. Bucham.”Audrey smiled and said, “What wind blows you here to our doorstep today? What a rare quest. Please, come in.”“Even if you didn’t invite me in, I would have shamelessly entered to ask for a glass of water.”Julian turned around and took out the bouquet he bought for Elisa from the car.The bouquet that Elisa was holding now was from Remy, who also took her suitcase first, so Julian did not have to help her take them.“Mrs. Stone, Alice.”Remy ignored Audrey’s enthusiasm toward Julian and greeted them politely.Julian greeted Alice
Julian’s words and actions left Audrey feeling disbelief.Julian said that he carefully prepared that bouquet with Elisa in mind!What was going on?After Julian did that, he ignored everyone’s reaction and said to Audrey, “Mrs. Stone, I’ll go in for a glass of water. I won’t stay long.”Audrey snapped back to her senses. Regardless of what Julian’s motive was, she first invited him into the house.Alice personally poured a glass of warm water for him.She and Audrey sat together and looked at Julian, who was drinking the warm water. Then, when Elisa and Remy entered, their gazes turned to the couple instead. In short, their gaze flickered between the three people.Audrey was the elder, so Julian had to show her some respect. She could not help but ask for clarification.She asked Julian, “Mr. Bucham, what did you mean by that earlier? Why did you come back with Elisa? You also said that you carefully prepared the bouquet with Elisa in mind?”“I heard that Elisa was returning
Julian put down his glass and left right after telling Audrey he was leaving.He patted Remy’s shoulder as he passed by him.Immediately, Remy told Audrey, “Mrs. Stone, I’ll see Julian out.”He wanted to find out what Julian was up to.Audrey did not say anything and agreed silently.Remy turned around and followed Julian out of the house after he handed the suitcase to Elisa.Once outside, he questioned Julian, “Julian, I know you’re not really going after Elisa. Can you tell me why you’re doing this?”Julian stopped, turned his head to look at him, and laughed. “I can’t tell you right now, but Remy, if you don’t step up and take Elisa soon, someone might steal her away from you.“If you can get engaged to her, you won’t have to worry.”Remy said with a bitter smile, “Do you think I don’t want to? Mrs. Stone is very stubborn. She still doesn’t approve of me and Elisa. We’re both working hard, but no matter what, I won’t give up on Elisa.“Julian, whatever your reasons are fo
Julian was helping Andrew to bear the blame, so it would be natural for Andrew to help him unconditionally.Even without Julian reminding him, Remy would not spread it around. It would not do him any good to circulate the matter either.Remy stood at the entrance of the villa as he watched Julian drive away into the distance.He would go back and seek help from his parents and siblings when his niblings’ one-hundred-day celebration came around.Originally, Remy wanted to rely on his sincerity and genuine feelings to slowly get Audrey to accept him.Remy also told Ben that he was not afraid of hardships. As long as his feelings for Elisa were genuine, Audrey would eventually accept the reality.Remy also felt that pursuing a wife was something he had to do on his own. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he would not want to ask his parents and siblings for help.If Audrey still refused to accept him, it meant that he had not done well enough yet. Even if he asked his parents and
Camryn smiled, “You spoil me too much. You’ll turn me into an absolute sloth who only waits around for you to take care of me, and it might tire you out.”“That won’t happen. I enjoy taking care of you,” Callum assured as he reached to help her with the snacks, but she would not let him feed her anymore. Callum had no choice but to hand her the snacks.“Although Trenton is young, he has mettle. When we put his parents away, it was hard for him to accept, but in the end, he did. As long as he has the right values, even the hardest things can be accepted over time and he won’t resent anyone else for it either.”Camryn pushed the snack box closer to her husband, indicating that he should have some too. “If Trenton didn’t have the right values, I wouldn’t care for him so much. Given the hurt and pain I suffered during the twenty-odd years under his parents, if I hated them, they’d have nothing to say in defense.“Because Trenton has treated me well since he was little, respects me as
Just now, Carrie came here and made a scene, and he had given her fifty thousand dollars. Although he had not spent much time with her, they were siblings. He could at the very least still recognize her. However, when Camryn asked him that, Trenton's heart started to race, not daring to confidently say that the lady really was Carrie.As for the young lady beside her? He had watched the video a few times but had not paid much attention to her. All he could see was a beautiful, young woman dressed in luxurious attire. In the video, he heard Camryn refer to her as Mrs. Longbottom, so her husband’s family name had to be Longbottom.Mrs. Longbottom had a good attitude toward Camryn and even supported her. He was not familiar with Mrs. Longbottom at all, though. Why did Camryn ask him that? Should he know her? Trenton watched the video two more times but could not find anything unusual about her. It was just that he was not acquainted with Mrs. Longbottom. If he had not seen the video,
The young couple looked at Trenton, then exchanged smiles.“How much did you give Carrie?” Camryn asked her brother gently. Camryn could harden her heart to completely ignore Carrie and not give her a single cent, but Trenton could not be as ruthless as she was, mainly because while Carrie had not been particularly kind to Trenton, she also had not bullied him outright. She had treated Camryn very poorly though and had never shown her any respect at all, so their sisterly bond had deteriorated to the extreme. It was already generous of Camryn not to completely destroy Carrie after taking charge, which was probably out of consideration for the fact that they shared a mother.“I-I gave her fifty thousand. She said it was almost Christmas, and she wanted to buy gifts and new clothes, so I-I gave her fifty thousand.” Trenton looked down as he spoke, not daring to look at Camryn, afraid she would scold him.Camryn gave her brother a long look but did not scold him. Instead, she took o
Callum was silent for a moment before he said, “I wanted you to get familiar with the route to my office, which is why I asked you to deliver the flowers yourself.”“Did you ever think about how difficult it was for me as a blind person? It was so hard for me to walk all the way to deliver those flowers,” Camryn retorted.Callum pulled her into an embrace and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Camryn. It was my fault for not thinking it through, which put you through a lot.”Camryn pushed him away, “We have customers constantly coming in. Don’t just hug me out of nowhere. You’re as thick-skinned as a rhinoceros, but I’m not. At that time, I was angry and silently cursed you a hundred thousand times, but your insistence actually did help me learn the way to your office and now, I can find my way there even with my eyes closed.”At that moment, Trenton returned. After Carrie left, he felt a bit down and stayed outside for a while to compose himself before coming back in. He did not wan
Just then, a customer came in wanting to buy a bouquet. Camryn first brought over some sample pictures for the customer to choose from. “No need to choose, just help me arrange a bouquet of roses. I’m going to confess my feelings,” said the young boy, a hint of shyness on his face as he spoke.Camryn smiled gently. “Alright, please wait a moment while I prepare it for you.”Callum assisted by inviting the young boy to sit down and poured him a glass of water.The boy glanced between Camryn and Callum and quietly asked, “Are you and the boss married or dating?”“We’re married. She’s my wife.”The boy expressed his envy. “You both seem very happy.”“Yeah, we are very happy. I love my wife very much, and she loves me too.”Thinking about the girl he was pursuing, the boy’s face lit up with anticipation. “I also have someone I like, and I’m going to confess to her, though I just don’t know if she feels the same. I’m a bit nervous.”Callum, drawing from his own experience, advised
“She hasn’t paid. Stop her.” Camryn was not going to let her get away with it. With a command, her two bodyguards stopped Carrie.Carrie said furiously, “Camryn, I only took a few flowers from you! You have so many flowers here. What's the big deal if I take a few? You still want me to pay? I’m your sister! Don’t you know that blood is thicker than water?!”“Blood might be thicker than water, but business is business. Anyone who buys flowers from me has to pay, including you. Besides, you’ve never treated me like an older sister. You always bring up how we’re sisters when you want to take advantage of me, but that won’t work here. My roses are freshly transported, and since you’re my sister, I’ll let you have them for twenty bucks each. You took about five stems, so just give me a hundred. I won’t rip you off.”Carrie’s expression changed in an instant. “Camryn, why don’t you just rob a bank? You’re charging twenty bucks each? You’re just a thief! Here! I don’t want them! I’d rather
“If Mom said she would create an opportunity for you to get with the king, would you really believe her? It’s just talk—nothing actually happened.” Trenton could not resist poking Carrie’s forehead a few times. “Carrie, can you please come back to earth? In your current state, forget about finding a great guy like Callum—even a regular, decent guy would be turned off by you.”Carrie swatted away her brother’s fingers, irritated and embarrassed. “Am I really that bad? I’m young, beautiful, have a great figure, and a dignified heiress. If the monarchy still existed, I could marry the king and be his queen without a problem.”“Carrie, you have sky-high ambitions, but be careful, don’t fly too close to the sun and end up like Icarus.”As soon as he said that, Trenton was met with a smack from his sister.“Is there a brother who curses his own sister like that? What do you mean by that? I’m destined to have the princess life. I’ll be fine.”However, deep down, she was still worried bec
Camryn was right—he was just too soft-hearted. If he were as ruthless as her, Carrie would have found a job long ago after running out of money.To encourage Carrie to become independent, Trenton decided that after Christmas, he would stop giving her living expenses. He would also tell their parents during his visit to prison that Carrie was truly hopeless.“Trenton, you keep siding with her, and one day you'll regret it. She’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing who has deceived who knows how many people. Do you really think she cares about you? She just wants to win your complete trust to take everything that belongs to you for herself. By driving us out of our home, she’s not only seeking revenge on Mom and Dad but also on us—especially you. She’s just pretending to be nice to you to sow discord between us siblings.”“Carrie!” Trenton said seriously, “Don’t talk about Camryn like that. She’s not that kind of person. I believe in her, one hundred percent.”Carrie was so furious she wanted
“Alright, alright, I can't win with the two of you against one,” Carrie sulked. “Give me money to spend. I'm out of money.”She reached out her hand toward Camryn, wanting her to give her money. Camryn slapped her hand away. “Even Trenton knows to take advantage of the winter break to find a part-time job and earn some pocket money. You’re perfectly capable, yet you don’t look for a job.“To put it bluntly, if you’ve gone to sweep the streets, you'd still have a source of income. I have money, but I won’t give it to you. Don’t think that just because we’re sisters—estranged, too, at that—I have an obligation to support my adult sister. I’ve said it before: if you want money to spend, earn it yourself.” With that, Camryn walked away to tend to her plants.As Christmas approached, the flower market was bustling. Every day, many people came to buy flowers, and all her employees were out delivering flowers to clients. Sometimes, when it got too busy, she even had to ask her two bodyguar
