Chapter 261

By early evening, Haley was all dressed up and ready to leave. She joined Wilfred in the car as they set off together. Helen and Alex stood outside the car, waving enthusiastically. “See you later!” “Bye, Mommy! Bye, Uncle Wilfred!” As the convoy drove off, Helen glanced down at Alex, and the two exchanged mischievous smiles. With the two authority figures out of the house, they were free to enjoy themselves. Back inside, Helen grabbed her bag from her bedroom and headed downstairs. Alex stood in the living room, frequently checking his watch. “Aunt Helen, hurry up! We’re going to be late!” “Oh, stop rushing me! There’s plenty of time. The mall won’t close so early,” Helen said as she came down the stairs, taking Alex’s hand and strolling confidently out the front door. On the way out, she turned to the guards at the entrance. “Keep an eye on the house. We’re heading out for a bit.” “Yes, Miss Helen,” one of the bodyguards replied.Helen led Alex to the undergroun

Chapter 262

When Heidi had given birth to Justin in her younger years, she had hoped to have a daughter next. However, her husband, knowing how difficult childbirth had been for her, had firmly refused to have another child. At the time, even though C-sections were available, medical advancements weren’t as developed as they are now.“Mrs. Yates?” The sales associate called out loudly, pulling Heidi out of her memories. She composed herself gracefully and walked over, pointing at the lipstick in Helen’s hand. “I’ll take this one. Please pack it for me.” “I’ll take this color,” two female voices said in unison. Helen and Alex turned around at the sound. It was uncanny—he looked so much like him! Heidi’s eyes softened as she gazed at the little boy in front of her with maternal affection. If Justin ever gave her a grandson, he would probably look just like this boy. “Right away, ma’am,” said the sales associate next to Heidi as she went to retrieve the product. Helen glanced at

Helen had no mood left for shopping and decided to take Alex straight to dinner. As they walked, Alex suddenly stopped and looked up at her. “Aunt Helen, didn’t you just promise me that if I helped you with the lipstick, you’d take me to play arcade games?” Helen nodded, not denying it. “I did. So, do you want to eat first or play games before dinner?” “Play first, of course!” Alex declared. “Alright,” Helen agreed. As they headed toward the upstairs restaurant, they passed through the men’s clothing section on the current floor. Alex stopped again, pointing ahead. “Aunt Helen, why don’t we buy something for Uncle Wilfred?” Helen glanced at the brand and shook her head. “Forget it. Your uncle only wears custom-tailored clothes. He’s not used to off-the-rack brands like these.” Unlike her and Haley, who loved shopping and could wear or buy whatever they fancied, Wilfred was much more particular. But Alex was persistent and still wanted to browse. He even had someo

“Why do adults always say one thing and mean another?” Alex couldn’t help but silently complain to himself. “Which of your eyes saw that my hesitation was me being tempted? That was clearly just a pause!” Helen defended herself, stiffening her neck as if to emphasize her point. Alex rolled his eyes. Both of his eyes saw it. He couldn’t understand what his aunt was struggling with—was having a boyfriend before his mom really such a bad thing? “Aunt Helen, it’s a seafood feast that requires a three-month reservation! Don’t you want to go?” Alex tilted his head, trying to convince her. Helen subtly swallowed at the thought. “Well, even if you don’t want to, I want to,” Alex declared confidently. *In a private third-floor room at Pearl Pavilion, the ocean view was beautifully illuminated by a dazzling display of lights. The restaurant owner had set up an array of outdoor lighting, creating the perfect ambiance for diners to watch the waves crashing against the shore whi

The convoy arrived at the Gibson estate, and Wilfred and Haley stepped out of the same car. Haley naturally took Wilfred’s arm as they walked toward the entrance.A valet directed the convoy to the parking area, while Wilfred dismissed his assistant and bodyguards, leading Haley inside to the banquet.“Mr. Wilfred,” Mr. Gibson greeted him warmly, a respectful smile on his face.Having heard from the valet that Wilfred had arrived, Mr. Gibson had personally come out to welcome him, accompanied by his wife and daughter.“Mr. Gibson,” Wilfred replied courteously.Haley stood quietly by his side, offering a polite smile and nodding to Mrs. Gibson and Miss Gibson in greeting.Miss Gibson, Xena Gibson, initially followed her parents with a look of disinterest. However, the moment her eyes landed on Wilfred, her demeanor changed. Her eyes widened with excitement, and a bright smile lit up her face. Straightening her posture, she greeted him in what she believed was her sweetest tone.

Xena pouted, her face awkward after being scolded by her father. Mrs. Gibson stepped in to defend her. “Stop filling her head with nonsense. She’s about to get engaged to Wilfred. Why shouldn’t she care? How could he bring another woman here and embarrass our family like this?” The Gibson family had been struggling for years. If not for Mr. Gibson Sr.’s connections, the family would have gone bankrupt and been devoured by rival corporations long ago. Mr. Gibson had a reputation for keeping numerous women on the side, a source of much of Mrs. Gibson’s suffering over the years. What woman wanted to share her husband? The bitterness she endured was enough for one lifetime. She couldn’t bear the thought of her daughter going through the same. The thought of Wilfred doing this to her daughter enraged her. “You... You’re just spoiling her!” Mr. Gibson jabbed a finger at his wife’s nose as he scolded her. “Enough! Stop annoying me and go stay with your grandfather,” he barked

Ethan bent slightly, applied a gentle force, and sent the red ball neatly into the pocket. Standing upright, he grabbed a piece of chalk and dusted the tip of his cue while chatting with Justin. “The big shot from Merika State, Wilfred, is attending tonight’s banquet. My family is planning to form an alliance with him by marrying my sister off to him.”“Wilfred?” Justin raised a brow, bending over to aim at the black ball on the table. “Your family knows Wilfred well?” He didn’t particularly care about the idea of a marriage alliance, but as a collaborator on the project, Justin was well aware of Wilfred’s influence in Merika State. He also knew about the Gibson family’s declining business. It was surprising they even had a connection to someone as significant as Wilfred. For a family struggling to survive on their legacy, maintaining such a link seemed improbable. The Gibson patriarch, Mr. Gibson Sr., had made a name for himself in politics, commanding significant authority and

“This time, the art exhibition invited her to Lincourt City. I heard she’s absolutely gorgeous—a real knockout,” Ethan said, his eyes sparkling with excitement as he leaned into the conversation. “She’s nothing like those gray-haired old artists. She’s young, vibrant, and full of life. I wonder if I can get her to have dinner with me.”Ethan chuckled, a sly itch gnawing at him. “If she could be my girlfriend, even for just one night, that’d be perfect.” He had a particular weakness for the artistic charm that creative women exuded.Justin frowned, glancing at Ethan with evident displeasure.Noticing his reaction, Ethan smirked and shrugged nonchalantly. “What’s there to be so uptight about? We’re both men. If you’re interested, I’ll step aside for you.”He spoke as if Haley were already someone he had conquered and could pass around at will. Ethan had clearly inherited his father’s reputation as a playboy. He had dated so many women that he had lost count, though “dating” was

In the grand banquet hall on the first floor, Haley followed closely behind Wilfred, maintaining a composed demeanor. Many people approached Wilfred to greet him, and she responded with polite nods, keeping her presence understated. Initially, she worried about running into someone she knew at the banquet, but it turned out her concerns were unfounded. She hadn’t mingled with the upper class in Lincourt City before, so apart from Wilfred, she didn’t recognize anyone.As the evening progressed and the drinks flowed, conversations became livelier. “Mr. Wilfred, you’re truly fortunate—not only are you successful in your career, but your companion tonight is also stunningly beautiful,” one official from Haven State remarked, his tone full of praise.“This is my younger sister,” Wilfred explained with a light smile. “She’s accompanying me tonight as my guest.”The official let out an awkward laugh, trying to cover his misstep. “Oh, so she’s your sister.”He quickly recovered and a

He seemed familiar—she recalled he had arrived with the official who had earlier suggested arranging a match for her. It appeared the two were acquainted. “By the way, I don’t believe I’ve caught your name,” the woman said, breaking the silence. Haley was momentarily surprised. “Her husband is over there, and he doesn’t even know who I am?” she thought. Then she remembered—the woman hadn’t been present when Wilfred introduced her earlier. “I’m Haley,” she replied politely. “Miss Haley,” the woman addressed her carefully. Uncertain whether Haley was Wilfred’s legitimate wife or just a girlfriend, she opted for the neutral title of “Miss”.“My husband owns the largest and most reputable construction materials company in all of Lincourt City,” the woman continued with pride. “Even the recent government development projects were contracted to him.” Haley immediately understood. This was a roundabout way of asking her to make an introduction. The woman clearly hoped Haley co
