Fox sat up and took a few sips of her water before gesturing as if she was about to splash it on Dylan. He just looked at her with a smile. In the end, she put down the cup.“Stop being such a kiss-ass. When are you going to return my stuff to me?”Dylan sat down opposite her and repeated himself. “I really don’t remember where I put it. I haven’t found it yet. When I do, I promise I’ll return it to you myself. You just have to leave me your address and contact number. Why don’t I buy you a new one? Tell me where you got it.“A new one wouldn’t be mine. I don’t want it. Like I said, this method of yours to get my number is terrible. It’s pretty much stealing. No, in fact, it is. You are stealing.”Dylan smiled neutrally. “Ms. Fox, you seem to have forgotten how it ended up in my hands. If you hadn’t been disrespectful first, I wouldn’t have responded in kind.”Fox had nothing to retort with. The two just glared at each other.After a few minutes, Fox relented. “It was my fault, D
“Dylan. Mr. Dylan. Mr. Dylan York. Tell me what I have to do to make you return it to me. Don’t tell me you don’t remember where you put it. That’s just an excuse and I don’t believe a single word of it.”Dylan looked the same as ever as he said, “There’s no use even if you call me daddy. Believe it or not, I really can’t remember. If you want to approach Serenity, go ahead. She is easygoing and affable. She likes girls like you the most. Oh, yeah. She has some self-defense skills, too. When you’re free, you can even spar with her.“On second thought, she is pregnant right now. You’d better wait until she’s given birth before you try that. Even if you ask her to ask me for it, it’ll be of no use if I can’t find it. Worst comes to worst, I’ll just upset her and get a beating from Zachary.”Dylan shrugged it off, making Fox so angry she stomped her feet. Still, she could not do anything to him. That thing was not at his home. She had already turned his house upside down. She seriously
How much did Mr. York seriously owe the lady in red? She did not look like she was in a good mood. Did she not get what she was owed? Fox walked into the elevator. Dylan attempted to enter with her but was kicked out.Theo watched as this happened and Dylan fell backward and onto the floor in an embarrassing but funny manner. Theo secretly snickered for a bit before he hurriedly stopped, afraid that Dylan would see and fire him.The elevator doors closed. Dylan got up from the ground and muttered as he rubbed his stomach, “That was a really strong kick. It’s pretty painful.”The elevator had already descended. He would not be able to catch up now even if he tried. All he could do was helplessly return to his office.Suddenly, he recalled how Grandma May kept saying she hoped he would not regret it. Had she known Fox was not an easy catch, in which he might never succeed in pursuing her, and he might have to spend his whole life single after giving up on Imogen?However, he would n
“Mr. York, if it’s not about money, then is it about love? You seem to treat her really well. She kicked you, but you didn’t even get angry.”Dylan did not hide his love for Fox. “You guessed it. I want to make her mine, but it’s not been going well. It’s been three or four months and I haven’t even gotten her name or number.”Theo was silent for a moment before he replied, “That’s weird, Mr. York. You’re not just our boss, you’re also a York. Lots of girls would kill to marry into your family. How could she possibly not like you? You’ve known her for such a long time but she still hasn’t even told you her name. Unless… she’s not straight, or she’s married. Or do you think she might be a lesbian?”Dylan glared at Theo and retorted, “You’re the lesbian! She isn’t one. She doesn’t swing that way.”Fox did not seem like she was married either, though he did not know if she had a boyfriend. Did she have someone she liked? Was that why she remained indifferent to him? Imogen was such a
After Fox left Dylan PLC, she quickly hailed a cab and left in it. She even looked back to make sure Dylan had not come after her. She had to admit that she put a bit too much strength into that kick. He had probably fallen back onto the floor and could not get up in time.Half an hour later at the Stones’ residence, a stranger stood at the entrance. She looked around and glanced repeatedly at the plaque to confirm she was in the right place. Then, she rang the doorbell. Soon, a female employee walked out and saw the pretty but unfamiliar girl in her twenties standing at the entrance, dressed in regular clothing and holding a little bag. She even looked a little timid when she spotted the employee.The employee did not immediately open the door and asked behind the gate, “May I know who you’re looking for?”Was she Ms. Elisa’s friend? It did not look like it. Ms. Elisa did not have many good friends, and the closest was Tasha House. Most of the other rich socialites did not like int
The girl replied, “I don’t remember his name anymore. I’ve never heard anyone call him by his name. Everyone just calls him by his code name, Silver. He texted me and told me he was here and to look for him here.”When the helper heard the girl was looking for Silver, she breathed a sigh of relief although she did not know who that was, having confirmed that the girl was not looking for Mr. Stone.“Miss, we don’t have someone called Mr. Silver here. Are you sure you’re in the right place? This is the Stones’ residence.”“This is the location he sent me. It can’t be wrong, he said he was at the Stones’ home,” the girl said as she dug out her phone from her pocket and looked for the specific message before showing it to the employee. “There’s no mistake. This is the place.”The employee took a look at the address. It really was the place.She suddenly recalled the VIP guests who arrived that morning and asked in realization, “Miss, did the Mr. Silver you’re looking for just arrive i
The employee gestured Sugar into the house. She then walked ahead and up to Audrey, who was sitting on the sofa, before saying respectfully, “Madam, a certain Ms. Sugar is here to look for Mr. Silver.” Silver turned to beckon for his little girl. “Over here, Sugar.”Audrey did not know Silver had called Sugar over. When Silver called for Sugar, she looked over and saw she was a young girl who looked slightly younger than Elisa. She was dressed simply, but had an outstanding air about her. She looked a bit timid, but from the way she walked, she seemed confident at the same time.Either way, the first impression Audrey had was that Sugar was a complicated and contradictory being. Not knowing if Sugar was Silver’s granddaughter or disciple, Audrey could not randomly guess either. Regardless, there was no way she was a useless and timid person.She was most probably a wolf in sheep’s clothing. How could any of the old gentlemen’s disciples be timid and easily intimidated? Sugar walke
Gabe walked over to respectfully inform Audrey that lunch was ready. She then called for everyone to go ahead and eat. Sugar deliberately slowed her steps to walk beside Silver and then tugged on his sleeve. He matched her pace and the two fell behind the group.“Master, have the two girls the Old Mister was looking for been found?”Silver remarked, “Didn’t Hawk tell you? They’re not girls anymore. It’s been four or five decades. One of the two girls from back then is Mrs. Stone here, the Fishers’ previous matriarch Tiara Fisher’s oldest daughter, Audrey Fisher.“The younger one is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yorks, Serenity Hunt’s biological mother, Lisa Fisher, but she passed away in a car crash around a decade or so ago, leaving behind just Serenity and her sister, Liberty.” Sugar replied, “Hawk didn’t tell me. And here I was still asking around everywhere to no avail. So it was Mrs. Stone. And Serenity’s mother was the previous matriarch’s daughter too? In that case, the
