Rosalie accompanied Byron to the airport.Both of them were shocked when they saw Lucas. They could hardly recognize him.His refined-looking face was tanned, and he looked more energetic than before.After experiencing the difficulty of his journey, he changed a lot.“Byron, Miss Jacobs… No, Mrs. Lawrence, why did you both come? It’s troublesome to come all the way to the airport to pick me up at an hour like this.”Lucas grinned.Byron glanced at Lucas calmly and asked, “Did you encounter anything on this trip to Africa?”He was sharp and noticed that Lucas’ smile seemed to be not that happy. Something must have happened, and he seemed to be troubled by it.Lucas nodded, yet he answered, “It’s nothing big. We can talk about it later.”“Congratulations, Byron, Rosalie! It’s great to hear you're marrying again. The ticket to fly back from Africa wasn't easy to book. There were no direct flights, and I needed to transit somewhere else before flying here. That’s why I arrived at
Lucas was already playing with the kids when Rosalie and Byron woke up.Estelle was the closest to him. After all, Lucas had been gentle and patient toward her when he treated her back then. He had tried everything he could to help her recover.Thus, Estelle took him as her family.Lucian and Nox were also friendly. They called Lucas 'Uncle Lucas', yet they did not know that Lucas had taken them as his experimental subjects.Lucas admitted the three little ones were geniuses, indeed.He had known Byron for years but had not thought Byron was a genius. The three little ones would definitely surpass Byron over time. That was probably also because of Rosalie’s outstanding genes.Estelle showed the clothing she designed and the marketing percentage of Comfy’s sales in the kid’s wear industry. The revenue shocked Lucas.“Byron, you're indeed a family of businesspeople. Rosalie’s Petal Talk and even Estie’s Comfy are doing great. Are you planning to take the lead in every industry?”
Lucas agreed readily.He took over the CEO position, became Rosalie’s student, and achieved the success of his life.After pondering, he felt this was a win-win situation, but it was he who benefited twice.Byron and Rosalie looked at each other and smiled upon seeing they had cheered Lucas up. They had finally settled this matter.That afternoon after lunch, Lucas headed out.He went to look for Andrius, and they decided to visit Chloe in the detention center after Andrius returned from his trip.In the detention center, Chloe’s expression looked complicated when she saw Andrius and Lucas.After exchanging pleasantries, Lucas asked her why she was unwilling to try to reduce her sentence.Even though she might be unable to leave Coast City, she did not need to stay behind bars. All she needed to do was to clock-in in time.Chloe shook her head and smiled.“Thank you for visiting me. I was foolish before for not noticing many things that I should have cherished, such as friend
Petal Talk made an official announcement that Lucas would be their next CEO.It was posted along with Lucas’ photo. That instantly sparked the netizen’s interest, and many fell for his appearance.[Mr. Montgomery is so handsome!][Why would I stan a celebrity if there's such a handsome CEO?][I’ll get some of Petal Talk’s products to support Mr. CEO.]As Lucas’ resume was exposed online, many women left comments about him. The topic was a hit online, and things went out of their expectations.It was out of Rosalie and Byron’s expectation that giving Lucas the job as Petal Talk’s CEO would make him a free ambassador for their brand.However, they did not have much time to pay attention to this matter. After all, the wedding was around the corner.Benedict and Melody were so busy. Lawrence Corporation had many sub-companies, and most of them were abroad. Many people were flying over to attend the wedding.The connections Byron had accumulated all these years were countless.He
In a suite in the Crescent Valley Luxurious Hotel, Gordon and Violet were busy answering calls and replying to messages.Gordon had been listed as an untrustworthy client because of debt evasion after bankruptcy. Thus, he faced restrictions on his spending.He would not even be able to get into a fancy hotel like this.Fortunately, his son-in-law owned this hotel, and he did not need to register with his identification card.Of course, this was also a chance for the creditors to leave him alone.He had a debt of tens of millions! With his current ability, he would not be able to return the money even if he worked for a lifetime.Therefore, when the creditors heard that his daughter was going to marry the president of Lawrence Corporation, the creditors gave him some time to think of ways to get the money.Most of them even started to treat him politely.After all, Gordon would not need to worry about glory and wealth if he became in-laws with the Lawrence family.The relatives
“Gordon, no matter how the Lawrence family reacts, we must ask for the betrothal gift this time. Last time, Byron divorced Rosie before we could even be happy about her marriage. We shouldn't go easy on them!”Violet instigated her husband, thinking about how much would be suitable.The betrothal gift did not need to be much. It just had to be enough for them to get a house, car, and anything else.Gordon nodded. “Of course, I know this. Rosie’s mother passed away early. After all, she was raised by me. How can she get married without any etiquette?”“Do you think 30 million is too much?” Violet’s eyes glowed with greediness.“That's not too much. I'd like to see how much they'll offer. The more they give, the better.” Gordon was already planning deep down.After discussing this, they finally decided to meet Rosalie first.They did not have Rosalie’s mobile phone number. Just as they were worried, Violet came up with something and searched for Petal Talk’s official number.The
She arrived at the hotel and went straight to Gordon's room.Rosalie was prepared with her words and also anticipated their possible requests.However, the moment Gordon opened the door, Rosalie was slightly startled.‘Is this man in front of me my father?’Compared to six years ago, the man had become a lot thinner. His face no longer glowed like before but had become shriveled and sallow. His forehead was covered with wrinkles.His hair also became very short, probably because there were more grays than before."Rosalie?" Gordon's eyes showed excitement.They had not met for so many years. She would not know if the emotions were genuine either.Immediately, his gaze turned a little timid. He looked at Byron and nodded. "Hello, Mr. Lawrence.""Hello, Mr. Jacobs." Byron's attitude was a little cold. He just glanced at the man briefly, then turned away to look at his wife.Rosalie suddenly felt a lot calmer when she saw how humble her father was.Immediately, Violet came over
Gordon nodded and opened the door.After Rosalie and Byron walked into the living room, they saw two sets of formal wear neatly laid out on the sofa. They were obviously prepared for tomorrow's wedding."Why didn't the children come too? I'm such an incompetent grandfather!" Gordon was very attentive. He quickly poured two glasses of water for them and carefully handed the glasses over.Immediately, he turned around and entered the room.Violet’s eyes had been examining Rosalie. She was very envious of Rosalie's confidence and calmness in her gestures.‘I don’t get it. My daughter, Sophie, is obviously better in terms of appearance, and her friends are all either rich or noble. Yet, she's still single now and can only be a worthless tour guide.‘As for my son, Ethan, he once dated a wealthy young lady, but the relationship fell apart in the end.’The more she thought about it, the more intense Violet’s jealousy was. That resentment was heavy on her heart, yet there was still a g
