I Was Reborn to Marry This Annoying Man? Chapter 106: Old Story
Arthur continued in a relaxed tone, as if merely sharing an old memory over tea."All the seniors here know how I started," he said. "Twenty years ago, I bought an empty lot with all the savings I had."A few of the older businessmen nodded subtly. They remembered."I told my wife and my child about my plan back then," Arthur went on. "They knew the risk. If it failed, we might have ended up eating hot buns for months just to get by."A faint chuckle came from somewhere in the crowd."But they supported me anyway."He smiled slightly at the memory."And fortunately, because I took that risk, the land I bought was later acquired by a developer for five times the price."He lifted a finger."That was my first pot of gold."The hall had grown quiet."After that, I approached the developer. I learned from him. I didn't have a prestigious education, so I worked twice as hard to educate myself. I studied contracts, negotiations, capital flow."His voice remained steady."That's how I entere

"Dad," Cassy called the moment she saw the man.She immediately walked toward him.The man gave a slight nod.Jaycee Torres.In his early fifties, strands of gray already visible at his temples, he carried the air of a seasoned businessman. His tailored charcoal suit fit him perfectly, his posture upright, his gaze sharp from decades spent navigating Lunada's ruthless commercial landscape.He was the current head of the Torres family.A second-generation successor.And a man who had long carried both pride and pressure on his shoulders.A faint smirk formed on Arthur's lips when he recognized him."Well," Arthur said lazily, slipping his hands into his pockets, "I was wondering which old turtle crawled out today."A few nearby elites coughed lightly, pretending not to hear.Everyone in Lunada's upper circle knew—The Thompsons and the Torres had never been on good terms.Jaycee stopped in front of Arthur.The two men were of the same generation.But unlike Arthur, who had built his in

Seraphina smiled with effortless composure."Ms. Torres," she greeted warmly. "How is Firm Jewelry? I heard you used your ace for this event."A faint arch lifted Cassy's brow."Of course," she replied lightly. "We wouldn't want to fall behind. But I'm more curious about your piece."Her gaze lingered meaningfully."I heard Aureline prepared something extraordinary."Seraphina's smile did not falter."We simply did our best. After all, opportunities like this only come every three years.""True," Cassy agreed. "A stage like this can either elevate a brand… or expose its weaknesses."A subtle pause followed.The presidents of Golden Crest and Sterling Arc stood nearby, exchanging polite silence while observing the exchange.The Sterling Arc president — calm, reserved — watched with quiet interest, hands loosely in his pockets. The Golden Crest president remained poised, her sharp eyes unreadable.Seraphina tilted her head slightly."Weakness is only exposed when one lacks preparation,"

Madel entered the private room without hesitation.Cassy was already there, seated elegantly at the round table set with wine and plated dishes. Soft music played in the background, the lighting dim and intimate.Madel pulled out a chair and sat down casually, not even waiting to be invited.Cassy smiled faintly."Eat first."Madel didn't reply. She picked up the spoon and began eating as if she had every right to be there.Cassy wasn't in a hurry. After all, what she needed was already in Madel's possession.Halfway through the meal, Madel finally spoke."It wasn't easy to get the sketch," she said bluntly. "I only had a small window. The hard copy was in the Luminary Atelier office. They were all there, studying it."She swallowed before continuing."I made an excuse and secretly took a photo. I couldn't take the physical copy without being noticed."She pulled out her phone and slid it across the table toward Cassy.Cassy picked it up.On the screen was the design.A brooch.Her ey

As usual, after dropping Seraphina off at the company, Lucien checked the time and stepped back into the car."I'll accompany Ethan to a meeting today," he said casually. "I'm acting as his secretary for now."Seraphina only nodded. She had long grown used to his shifting part-time roles."Don't skip lunch," she reminded lightly before entering the building.Lucien watched her disappear through the glass doors, his expression calm, unreadable, before the car pulled away.—Inside Aureline Corp, Seraphina walked straight to her office.Irene was already waiting.Seraphina took her seat behind the desk."Call Luminary Atelier, the R&D heads, Financial heads, and Relations heads," she said without delay. "Tell them to gather in the conference room. There are important matters to discuss.""Yes, Chairman."Irene immediately stepped out to execute the order.Seraphina stood moments later and headed to the upper floor.Within fifteen minutes, the long conference table was filled. The six me

That evening, at Villa 27, Seraphina sat on the edge of the bed wearing a sleek silk dress, gently towel-drying her hair. The faint scent of jasmine lingered in the air, evidence she had just finished bathing. The room was quiet, softened by warm lamplight.The bedroom door opened.Lucien stepped inside, dressed in black silk sleepwear, a glass of milk in his hand. His gaze fell on her immediately — calm, attentive.He walked toward her and handed her the glass before sitting beside her."Finally finished the sketch," he said quietly. "After three weeks of drafting and improvising… you can rest now."Seraphina accepted the milk and took a slow sip. A small smile curved on her lips."I have to be prepared for the upcoming Jewel Exhibition."Lucien leaned back slightly, watching her. "You've prepared more than enough."She shook her head gently."This exhibition isn't ordinary." Her voice softened, but the weight of responsibility was clear.
