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
After the meal, apart from Patrick, the rest of the old gentlemen took their leave. The Stones warmly urged them to stay.Audrey said, “Old Mrs. York will be coming over later. She called me and told me to make sure you guys stay back because she wants to have a meal with you.”At this, Silver and the rest looked around at each other. Finally, Doc conceded, “Old Pat hasn’t woken up yet. If we leave like this, he’ll definitely complain about us abandoning him without a word when he wakes up. Why don’t we stay in Wiltspoon for a little longer and head back tomorrow or the day after?”He added, “Even I’m not in a rush to go back and see my grandson. You guys don’t even have any grandchildren, so why are you in a rush to head back? To stare at each other? How boring.”Audrey chimed in, “That’s right. Since you’re already here, just stay a few more days so that I can thank you gentlemen properly for taking such good care of Uncle True all these years. You’re the reason I could see him a
“Isn’t Suzy married?”“She’s married, but you’re still single.”Sugar smiled. “I can earn a lot of money and take care of myself when I’m old in the future. I’m really busy. Besides, I haven’t found someone suitable. Men who are too capable might not even want me.”After speaking, Silver tugged on her sleeve and said, “Where has the money you earned gone? You can’t even bear to wear better clothes. Are you trying to depend on me even when you’re old by showing me such plain clothes?”Elisa laughed. “Sugar’s clothes may look plain, but they’re branded. Her whole outfit is expensive.”“That’s right. Elisa has a sharp eye. My teachers know nothing about women’s clothing. That’s because they don’t have a wife themselves.”The old gentlemen looked as if they wanted to give her a beating. Sugar quickly escaped, making everyone laugh. “We’re old men, yet our disciples keep urging us to get a partner. Whenever we urged them to get married, they’d target us instead and ask us to find
