Dan was taken aback. "Arrange an engagement?" His granddaughter was certainly not young, but she showed no inclination to marry, so he could not do much even if he was anxious for her.Still, he could not resist asking, "May I ask who's the gentleman you'd be recommending?""I'm afraid he's not from an important family." Greg started lowballing. "But I'm sure he'll soon become someone special."To be honest, Lane Holdings was insignificant to the upper echelons of Riverton. However, their future was definitely inestimable since they were partnered with Vicky!"Oh…" Dan was actually not interested—what Greg was saying was that the man he recommended was some average Joe with neither riches nor influence. Surely his treasured granddaughter should not suffer such… shame!Still, Greg quickly added, "Hold on, Mr. Zimmer. He's only in his twenties, and though he may not have influence or riches, he's already Vicky's personal consultant. Do you think he would still fall short with su
"Frank?" Janet was a little surprised, having met Frank and witnessed his immaculate depth with medicine.Still, why would he suddenly be interested in a blind date? He had her number, and he could speak to her directly if he was interested."Did he say it himself?" Janet asked.Dan shook his head. "Greg Marsh told me. I'm guessing Frank asked him to be a middleman—it's quite formal of him to get a go-between."Janet could not help remembering Frank's face at that.He was outstanding in medicine and had both the looks and the figure. He was completely Janet's type, and it would be good if she could date him.She had never considered the issue before, but since Frank had asked someone to help, he must have been interested in her for a while.When could it be?Still, Janet could not help smiling at the idea. It seemed that she just had to work hard, and a successful man would eventually see her good points."Janet, we should at least show Greg some respect for getting involv
Gina nodded repeatedly. "For sure."Greg's expression turned serious just then. "By the way, I recently started a cosmetics company. The technical consultant is a friend who studied abroad in Minerva, and all the equipment was imported from there. Once the products hit the market, it would definitely take Riverton by storm, but my friend holds too much stake, and I'm worried I can't control the company in the future. I'm hoping you can help me."Gina did not expect Greg to actually ask her for help, and she said without hesitation, "Oh, what are you saying? You just have to tell me if you need help, and I'll do all I can."Greg sighed in turn. "I'd like to borrow some money to help me leverage against my friend's shares—you can be a shareholder too. We will both be able to call the shots in the company with that."Gina was shocked, surprised that Greg would give her shares—it was as if they were already married.Moreover, he first helped cure Helen's face and now helped arrange an
Janet lowered her head shyly as soon as she saw Frank, while Dan laughed heartily. "You're early, Mr. Lawrence. But since you're here, let's go in together!""Oh… Actually, I just finished work."Dan nodded. "Well, you'd be busy after getting promoted to being Ms. Turnbull's personal consultant recently. Your future is bright!"Frank waved him off. "Oh, you're exaggerating, Mr. Zimmer."Moreover, he was just her personal bodyguard and not a consultant… to think that word traveled fast, and even Dan found out."Well, you're here anyway. Let's go in!" Dan said."Go… where?'"The restaurant!" Dan chuckled.Frank was bemused and presumed that Dan was buying him dinner.In that case, why did he not call ahead of time? Still, since he had not eaten, Frank said, "Alright! I'll go upstairs to get changed—I'll be right down.""Sure," Dan said. "We'll be waiting for you in the private room."It was only then that he noticed Frank was dressed casually—he was certainly respectful, get
Greg explained, "That's right. Peter here is Ms. Turnbull's personal consultant—he'll start work tomorrow."Dan smacked himself on the forehead in turn, almost passing out right then!What a blunder. He should have asked for a name!Just then, Peter was grinning as he raised a glass at Dan. "Mr. Zimmer, we will be family soon. Don't worry, I promise to be good to Janet. I will love her forever—""Shut up."Before he could finish, Janet had already picked up her glass and splashed her wine at his face.Peter was left dumbstruck, his white shirt dyed red right then!"What…"He was about to flip out but restrained himself as Dan was sitting right beside Janet.On the other hand, Gina sprang to her feet, seeing that her son was being mistreated! "H-How could you do this, Janet?" she snapped before wheeling on Dan. "We may not be some important family, but you can't let your granddaughter do this!""Mom…" Helen promptly tried to stop her mother.She had already noticed that som
"I actually met Ms. Lane today." Dan chuckled. "I've been wondering—you're such a successful man, so why would she divorce you?"Janet's ears pricked up, while Frank was taken aback that he would ask about that.After musing to himself for a moment, Frank said, "Her family aims to be an elite dynasty in Riverton. Since I'm not of help, it's only natural she divorced me."There was nothing worth hiding about that, just as anyone interested would find out how Gina belittled him to no end."What? That family is really blind…" Dan sighed emotionally.And here he thought it was some complicated issue between him and Helen… to think that the Lanes thought so little of Frank!Beside them, Janet nodded repeatedly.Then, Dan stroked his beard and said, "Well, now that you're divorced, Mr. Lawrence, don't you think it's time to think about your future? I know several successful ladies myself, and I wouldn't mind giving an introduction if you're willing."Janet nodded repeatedly again, sm
Greg probably did not mention to Dan who the groom-to-be would be, which explained why Dan was livid yesterday.Even Frank must admit that he was impressed with the way Greg pulled the wool over everyone's eyes. Still, while most would be tricked, it was a pity for Greg that Dan was acquainted with Henry Lane and actually knew what Peter was like."If Vicky knew that Greg was introducing you, she'd probably kill you," Frank said."Shut the fuck up!" Peter snapped, pointing him in the nose. "Vicky agreed to give me a job! You're just jealous!""That's because you're supposed to be Dan Zimmer's grandson-in-law," Frank replied, shaking his head exasperatedly. "Are you?""Piece of… So what if I wasn't? I have what it takes!" Peter bellowed angrily.Frank was certainly not bothered to keep dissuading Peter since the latter was being so stubborn.He then turned, heading inside the building.Not one to be outdone, Peter hurried after him, even slipping into the private elevator before
Vicky and Peter had naturally met—it was back at Verdant Hotel, when Peter thought Vicky was a whore Frank paid for.He was certainly surprised to find out that it was actually the complete opposite… but that was all history anyway. Right now, Peter was going to start working for Vicky, though he would not mind being her manwhore either!Vicky, however, was feeling her blood boiling when she saw Peter. "Y-You're the person Greg Marsh recommended?" she asked, holding out a fraction of hope.Peter nodded repeatedly, crushing her hopes right then."Is Janet Zimmer your girlfriend?" she pressed.Peter shook his head. "Not at the moment…"Vicky frowned. "What do you mean, 'not at the moment'?""Our families met to discuss an engagement, but things weren't finalized," Peter said. "But trust me, I am the right man for the job. I will assist you with body and soul and bring the Grande Corp to new heights—"He did not notice that Vicky had clenched her knuckles. Even before he was f
