"Yes, Mister Lucas."Edmund had no choice but to do what Lucas said. He turned around, threw Corinne a disgusted glance, and said huffily, "Miss Carew, please follow me."Corinne nodded, yawned lazily, and followed him out of the office.…At the hotel, the Aburian clients are staying.Three men dressed in exotic clothes were dining in the restaurant downstairs of the hotel. They were talking in a foreign language, and their tone and expressions were very serious and unhappy as if they were complaining about something that made them angry.Not far from the restaurant, Edmund passed Corinne the details about the project. "The three men there are the clients. Do you need me to take you there?" he asked coldly.Corinne waved her hand. "No. I can go by myself."That was just fine with Edmund since he did not have the intention to take her there anyway. He did not want to experience second-hand embarrassment in case Corinne did something unexpected to embarrass herself.In his mind

Jeremy said calmly, "No, the food was just served not too long ago."Lucas smiled. Everybody started to dig in and did nothing else.Anya was in a good mood. She cut a slice of foie gras on her plate, affectionately brought it to Jeremy's mouth, and said with a sweet smile, "Jeremy, hurry up and try the foie gras here. I feel it's much tastier than the one we had in Kecharia. The texture is smooth and it melts in your mouth!""No need, thanks. Have it yourself."Jeremy did not look at her. He did not even bat an eyelid. He just put the piece of steak that he cut into his mouth indifferently, then chewed it slowly to savor it with all great focus.After he rejected the food she fed him, Anya's smile stiffened and she froze in place.She felt it would be very awkward if she took the foie gras back angrily. After giving it a thought, she used her knife to forcefully and carefully get the piece of foie gras off her fork. Then, she put it on the edge of Jeremy's plate before saying, "

Anya left her seat to get the cake.Lucas watched her sister walk off before he looked at Jeremy, who was sitting across from him, and his gaze became dignified. "Jeremy, don't you think you're too cold to Anya?"Jeremy looked up at him. "Is this your first day knowing me?"Lucas was speechless.Jeremy was right. They knew each other since childhood and were in the same social circle.Jeremy indeed was always indifferent growing up. He was never too friendly to anybody.However, at the thought of his sister, whom he doted on since childhood, would be marrying a man who had no clue how to care for a girl at all in the future, Lucas could not help but sigh. He had no idea what Anya saw in him!Lucas did not hold Jeremy responsible for his attitude toward Anya earlier anymore. He got down to business with him."Jeremy, I already know that you and Anya adopted a child abroad behind both your parents' backs."Jeremy stopped cutting his steak a little, then he continued.Lucas co

Lucas said, "It's because Anya saved you back then that her body was damaged by the snake's venom and lost the ability to bear children forever! You should know without me telling you how much it would hurt physically and psychologically for a girl to lose the chance to be a mother from a young age! Besides, it's Anya's dream to be a mother since childhood! It's because of you that she could never fulfill her dream! How could you be so indifferent to her now?"Jeremy's eyebrows were tightly furrowed and he said nothing.What Lucas said was indeed the truth.When he got injured 15 years ago, he was bitten by a venomous snake while he hid in a bush in a village to flee from danger. As the venom spread, he was on the brink of death, and he lost his vision; so he could not save himself.He was saved by a girl who passed by. It was because she sucked the venom out of his wound that he managed to live!Later, the girl found him with the keepsake he left for her. It was only then he lear

Lucas was right, but Jeremy was still calm."We didn't get registered in time, but we had a wedding. It's an actual marriage in the eyes of the law. Lucas, I understand that you're worried about your sister. I will use the rest of my life to compensate your sister for what she lost for me. However, the only thing I can't give her is marriage and your so-called happiness. I'm sorry."Having said that, Jeremy raised his wrist and glanced at this watch. "I'm done with my lunch. I have a meeting later in the afternoon, so I'll first be taking my leave."He stood up, turned around, and left, leaving no room for argument.Seeing how unwaveringly cold he was, Lucas could not hold himself back anymore. He stood up angrily and said, "Jeremy! Do you even have a conscience?"At that time, Anya happened to return with the cake. She saw that Jeremy was about to leave and her brother was angry, but she had no idea what happened. Looking confused, she asked, "What's the matter? Where are you goi

Ten years?Abura's mineral resources were highly sought after by both domestic and foreign companies, and plenty of corporations from powerful countries were eyeing this collaboration. That was why the person in charge from Abura was always been fearless and arrogant. He was also famously difficult to manage.At first, the Rivera Group only wanted to get a deal with Abura to collaborate for the next five years. However, the crown prince of Abura did not agree. He said he would only agree to sign for three years at most, and the terms of collaboration would be renegotiated after three years.Even if it was just a three-year collaboration, it was a deal that was hard to finalize.Corinne was gone over for an hour, yet she got a deal for a ten-year collaboration.Lucas was slightly dazed, and he looked a little surprised. "She could speak Aburian?"Edmund answered with great certainty, "Yes, she's very fluent, and she seems to be very humorous. The person in charge from Abura was so

"But I can't have children of my own anymore, so I thought of adopting a child. That's because I want to be a mother very badly."Seeing his sister being sad about the fact that she could no longer bear children made Lucas feel very heartbroken. How could he have the heart to scold her?He just sighed and wrapped his arm around his sister, then he comforted her gently, "I know. Bring the child home tomorrow! It's not good to keep him out there, and you'll be exhausted from traveling to and fro every day as well."Anya looked up in surprise. "I really can do that? Would Dad and Mom be angry when they find out? I'm scared."Lucas picked up a napkin to wipe off the tears in the corner of his sister's eyes. "Don't be scared. Dad and Mom know about your body's condition. They can understand that you have your reasons. It's just that they will need some time to accept this."Anya, you were indeed too reckless for making this decision on your own and doing something so important in secre

Lucas signed the contract happily with the person in charge from Abura in the meeting room, then they bid each other farewell with a friendly handshake.Before the person in charge left, he said a bunch of things to Lucas.Lucas could not understand Aburian, so he turned his head a little toward Corinne, who translated for them the whole time, and asked, "What's he saying?"Smiling very professionally, Corinne translated for him, saying, "Mister Lucas, Mister Lapura said this is the happiest collaboration he ever had. They hope they could continue collaborating with the Rivera Group for the following ten years as well. Their country likes it very much to collaborate with a company like yours that's sincere and responsible, but not as rigid as the others."Lucas was indeed a little surprised. The state-owned enterprise of Abura was always arrogant and hard to manage, so it was rare that they would show their goodwill with such enthusiasm.It seemed that it was because the client wa
