LOGINBeck certainly wanted a chance to bring and introduce her to everyone. But…"I'm still pursuing her. If I succeed, I'll let everyone know right away," he said.After saying that, he added, "I still have something to handle, so I'll head off first."Miles also had other matters to attend to. He waved at Wynn and the others before getting into his car and leaving.…Narcissa was at the right age for marriage, so her family was getting anxious about finding her a suitable match.That very night, her family told her they had arranged a blind date for her the next day.She wasn't particularly keen on blind dates, but in the end, she still went.When she arrived and pushed open the door, she froze slightly at the sight of the person already seated inside.Caleb stood up. "Ms. Lackspur?" Narcissa nodded and walked over, taking a seat beside him. "Hello.""Hello, what would you like to drink?" he replied politely."I'll order myself."After a brief exchange of pleasantries, their
Was Narcissa the friend from overseas that Trevor mentioned? Celeste didn't ask. She just acknowledged Jordyn and hung up the call.…And she was right.That night, Narcissa's homecoming dinner wrapped up a little after nine.Jordyn was already sleepy as Trevor carried her out of the restaurant. Looping her arms around his neck, she yawned and said, "Dad, I want to go to Granny's. I want to sleep with Mom tonight."Trevor smiled. "Alright."Then he turned to the others. "We'll head off first."After that, he looked at Wynn. "Drive safe.""I will. You too."With that, Trevor carried Jordyn into the car and left. Everyone present had clearly heard what Jordyn said just now.Narcissa already knew that Trevor and Celeste hadn't officially divorced because of Jordyn. Now, she noticed that Trevor seemed to be growing more and more fond of his daughter.She said as she watched the car disappear into the distance, "She's really attached to her mom now, huh? Won't this cause compli
Matthias let out a laugh. "What is wrong with people these days? Everything's completely upside down."Their business partner looked at him in confusion. But Matthias just smiled and said, "It's nothing."However, Celeste understood what Matthias was talking about.First, it was Jorge; now, it was Narcissa. Both of them had come to her, speaking up for Wynn as if they were in the right.If that wasn't completely upside down, what was?…In another private room, Wynn had just learned of what Narcissa had done."You really didn't have to.""I know. It wasn't entirely for you. I just got back and was bored. So, I thought I'd have a little fun," Narcissa said with a smile.Wynn knew full well that it was for her after all. She smiled and said, "Thank you.""There's no need for that," Narcissa laughed.Then she added, "Honestly, I'm still in a great mood. She actually thought I was serious about working with them—haha."Wynn smiled faintly.Then Narcissa raised her eyebrow. "By
"Not at all. I still have a long way to go compared to you, Ms. Larkspur," Celeste said calmly.The Lackspur family had invested heavily in this project, yet Narcissa didn't hesitate to offend one of their potential partners. If anyone was being reckless, it definitely wasn't Celeste.Narcissa seemed to read her thoughts. She smiled and said, "Ms. Rodriguez, you're quite confident. You're right that YodaVision is indeed a good choice within the country. However, we're not limited to just your company."With that, she stood up. "Since YodaVision isn't capable of taking on our project, I won't take up more of your time. Ms. Rodriguez, until next time."Celeste had no interest in continuing this pointless exchange. "Take care."That afternoon, Matthias asked about the potential collaboration with the Lackspur Corporation after he returned. So, Celeste briefly recounted what had happened."Narcissa has a problem with you? So, she just came to stir up trouble?""That's how it felt."
"Okay."Celeste and Jordyn quickly got into the car.Jordyn then waved at Trevor. She only sat down properly after the car had driven out of the villa and his figure disappeared from view.Then her gaze drifted back to Celeste.There had been a lot going on at YodaVision. So, Celeste had been busy that day. On top of that, her period was making her stomach cramp, making her complexion dull.Jordyn noticed it immediately.Seeing how tired Celeste was, yet still came to pick her up personally, Jordyn's mood lifted. She couldn't help but call out softly, "Mom…""Mm?" That simple response was gentle, making Jordyn smile happily."Nothing. Just focus on driving.""Alright."That night, the Rodriguez family worked together to prepare a wide spread of Youtopia specialties. The atmosphere in the house was lively, almost like celebrating the New Year, and Jordyn's laughter never stopped.…The next day, Celeste returned to YodaVision after sending Jordyn to school.There was a visi
Even though she said that she was okay, Jordyn pressed her lips tightly together the moment she finished speaking.Hannah noticed and was about to say something when Jordyn's phone suddenly rang.Jordyn glanced at it and froze when she saw it was Celeste calling. She instinctively reached out to answer, but then turned away suddenly.Hannah saw everything and immediately understood that Jordyn's emotional state had something to do with Celeste.She had seen how attached Jordyn had been to Celeste lately. Although she didn't know what happened, she felt that Jordyn wouldn't be able to resist answering the call.Smiling gently, she said without trying to persuade Jordyn, "I'll go downstairs and warm up some milk for you."After Hannah left, Jordyn stared at the still-ringing phone. She knew that if she didn't answer, the call would end on its own.She shifted her gaze back to the phone and slowly reached out again. Just then, the call disconnected.Jordyn's heart tightened in pan
After saying that, Jorge added, "I have other matters to attend to, Ms. Rodriguez. See you next time."Celeste had already sensed that Jorge didn't seem to like her. Even though he remained polite during their meeting in the reception room, she could still pick up on the subtle indifference in his
Celeste found her book after Jordyn had left. With the book in hand, she sat by the large window on the second floor and started reading. Half an hour later, Martha brought up a bowl of herbal medicine. "Oh, there you are, Cel."Celeste put away her book and took the bowl. "You didn't have to bri
Just like the previous property deed, since these items were placed on her vanity table, it meant they were meant for her.Feeling puzzled, Celeste opened one of the round brocade boxes.The moment she lifted the lid and saw what was inside, she froze for a second. It was the set of emerald jewelr
It wasn't until noon, when it was time for lunch, that Matthias and Celeste finally got a chance to take a breather.At that moment, Celeste's phone suddenly rang. It was a message from Lottie, asking if she wanted to go skiing with her in the afternoon.Celeste replied via voice message, "I have
