“Is that so?” Clara lay in Quentin’s embrace and sobbed as she asked, “Quentin, when will you marry me then? I don’t want to bear such infamy anymore. We’re obviously in love with each other, but everyone is saying that I’m the third party who ruined your marriage with Sienna…”Clara was so angry that she clenched her teeth in anger at the mention of this. She thought that she could become the young mistress of the Kane family if Quentin and Sienna broke off their engagement.However, the Kane family would obstruct their relationship in every possible way, and they simply refused to agree to it! Mrs. Kane had also said that a person would have to have a considerably good family background to be worthy of her son. As such, Clara tried to convince Keegan to transfer some of the Lang family’s company shares to her, and her original plan was to take over the shares that were in Sienna’s name. However, Sienna did not play by the rules, and she sold all of her shares!Fortunately, the
Keegan was stunned for a moment and said in surprise, “Clara, you’re still so busy with your school matters, so how would you have time to join the company? We should at least wait until you’re close to your graduation before we discuss this. It’s still too early now.”Clara had long expected such an answer.However, she was not discouraged. She still put on a good-natured and understanding tone as she said thoughtfully, “Dad, isn’t it all because I feel that you’re working too hard? So, I was wondering if there was anything that I could help you with.”“What can you do for me as a young girl?” Keegan smiled and shook his head. However, in the next moment, he suddenly thought of something. He had an austere expression as he said, “Clara, there’s indeed something that I might need your help with.”“What is it?”“I recently invested a lot of money in a large-scale amusement park project. However, the amusement park is still under construction, and I cannot turn our funds around. I w
She was just taking back what she deserved now!What was wrong with that?As Clara was plotting, she suddenly heard the sound of a car outside the villa. After a few seconds, the maid at the door shouted, “Young Master Jaime, you’re back?”When Jaime stepped into the villa, he saw Clara and Keegan on the sofa. He went upstairs to his study room after greeting them. Keegan had long gotten accustomed to his eldest son’s cold and aloof attitude toward everyone, but today was different. He called out to Jaime and instructed, “Jaime, take your sister to the company one of these days so that she can familiarize herself with the environment in advance.”“What do you mean?” Jaime stopped in his tracks, and a sharp light reflected under his lens as he asked, “Dad, you’re going to arrange for Clara to enter the company?”“Yes, that’s right. Is there a problem?” Keegan felt very comfortable because Clara was massaging his shoulders. He narrowed his eyes and replied rightfully, “Clara is
Clara could see that Keegan was wavering. As such, before Keegan could say anything, she spoke up and said, “Dad, Jaime has a point. Let’s hold off on these things and take it slow. I know that you love me, but you have to take Jaime’s thoughts into consideration too, right?”These words were very smart and well-spoken. They showed that she was understanding, sensible, and well-behaved. She was also making a jab at Jaime by calling him selfish and petty.Sure enough, Keegan’s face fell. He glared at Jaime with dissatisfaction, then patted the back of Clara’s hand and said with great relief, “Don’t worry, Clara. Dad will always back you up and support you. I’ll definitely make sure that you get married in style when the day comes for you to marry Quentin!”The implication was that the promise that he had made at the beginning was still valid, and he would still give her 40% of the family’s assets as her dowry.Clara smiled and said sweetly, “Thank you, Dad. I’ll listen to you.”“Cl
Over the years, if there was anyone else who would respond to all of her requests, it would have to be Henry.Clara squeezed her cell phone tightly and pretended to sob a little as she said with an extremely pitiful look, “Uncle Carswell, you have to help me.”“What’s wrong, Clara? Did someone bully you?” Henry, who was on the other end of the line dropped everything that he had on hand and said anxiously, “Don’t cry, Clara. Just tell me if there’s anything you need. I’ll definitely help you to get it done!”Clara pretended to sob a few times before she said, “Uncle Carswell, I want you to help me to arrange someone for me. I want a woman who’s beautiful but can be easily manipulated. Uncle Carswell, you should also know that although I was adopted by the Lang family, they have never treated me as one of their own for so many years. “I cannot even decide on my own marriage now. So, I thought that if I could get my adoptive father to get a wife, I could get her to help intercede on
The woman was less than forty years old. She had a good figure, and her gestures were full of the elegance and sensuality of a mature and intellectual woman. She looked graceful and dignified. Keegan was stunned for a moment, and he subconsciously handed the silk scarf in his hand back to her. “Here.”“Thank you.” The woman smiled at him, took the silk scarf, and turned away.Keegan was still standing on the same spot.It was only when the woman’s figure had disappeared completely that Keegan came back to his senses from the romantic encounter just now. He suddenly remembered what Clara had said to him before he went out earlier. She said that it was time for him to find another wife at this age. He did not think about it when Clara mentioned it before, but Keegan’s heart was stirred at this moment. It would be nice to have a beautiful woman around to keep him warm. Keegan smiled, then got into the car and left.At this moment, the woman who was playing with the green silk
Sienna only turned around and was about to return to the villa when the taillights of Lady Scott’s car could no longer be seen.Unexpectedly, Harry was looking at her, and he was leaning against the door frame of the villa.The man’s hands were in his pockets. He obviously knew what kind of mistake Sienna had just made, but he did not seem to have the slightest sense of self-consciousness to explain things. Instead, he smiled and said playfully, “Nene, I can’t keep my innocence this time.”Did he still dare to say that?Sienna did not smile as she reminded him, “You’ve already lost your innocence at the old mansion that night. It’s just another extra layer this time, so there’s not much difference.”She was referring to the night of the engagement banquet when Lady Scott locked the both of them in the same room. A lone man and woman would never be able to say or do anything to clear their name when they had been locked in the same room.When Harry heard these words, his dark an
Sienna had also seen the video.It was specially sent to her by Monki, who was extremely excited as he said, “Boss, look! Although we’re being scolded badly, the number of people who have come to try out the experiences has doubled. I estimate that we’ll have to stay up all night!”Since this news started causing a commotion, Monki, Hunter, and the others decided to take advantage of this popularity to keep the Universal Atrium open. The big deal was that they would have to take shifts to rest. They would have to open a 24-hour business model to attract enough experiencers to come!Sienna rejected this idea directly. “No. Just open according to our original time. Ten o’clock in the morning to ten o’clock at night is enough. You don’t have to stay up all night.”Although this video was currently very popular, there were still far more scolding than praises. Even though Professor Lawrence and his group of students had experienced it personally, and even though the video from the
