He definitely did not see this reply coming along and had expected her to accept the gift with open arms.After all, this necklace is so expensive and dazzling. He could not understand why any girl would not want it!With a soft sigh, Grandma Zhong replied adamantly. "I've decided that this necklace will only be yours to keep. I will not want to give it to anyone else."Despite knowing that the two of them are not in a real relationship, Grandma Zhong still genuinely likes Stephanie Ruan. She hopes that her grandson could also see the good in her and continue to keep her by his side."..."Seeing her look of hesitation, she nodded heavily while urging her, "Listen to grandma and just keep it first... You can return it to me again if you decide not to marry Javier in the future."Indeed, Grandma Zhong is smart enough to understand why Stephanie Ruan is not keen on accepting the necklace.But being the stubborn person that she always is

Hearing her words, Javier Zhong is instantly pulled back into reality!What was he doing?? Did his heart actually fluttered for her?!He could not come to terms with what was happening to him and why he could not control his own emotions at all!But it is a fact that Stephanie Ruan looked stunning in every gown that she wore, especially the one that she has chosen.Yes, he has to admit that she has a good fashion sense and he could not help but agree with her on every single feedback for the other pieces.True enough, like minds think alike!"..."Javier Zhong cleared his throat and responded awkwardly, "I have no issues with the gown."With that, he hastily picked up one of the magazines on the coffee table and started browsing it through randomly.Looking at his strange behaviour, Stephanie Ruan knitted her eyebrows and muttered under her breath, "Weirdo."Soon, she has changed out of her gown and proceeded to t

Throughout the first half of dinner, Daniel Yan and Stephanie Ruan were seen to be happily chatting and enjoying their delicious food."Oooh, this is so nice!!... It has been a long time since I've had this!""Daniel, try some of this meat! It literally melts in your mouth!"Stephanie Ruan was only focused on having a conversation with Daniel Yan that she has completely forgotten about Javier Zhong's existence.On the other hand, Javier Zhong, who is sitting opposite the two of them, is just eating silently with a solemn expression.No one knew what he was thinking about...Daniel Yan is already used to Javier Zhong's aloof character, so he did not think that anything was amiss.In fact, trying to engage him in their conversation would make him feel more uncomfortable and Daniel Yan is very clear about this point.-Cell phone ringing-Seeing his secretary's name on the screen, Daniel Yan quickly excused himself from the

Stephanie Ruan had originally left the room with the same intention of cooking a simple dish for Javier Zhong as well since she remembered that he did not eat much during dinner.She felt that this is the best way to compensate him for what had happened.And as she followed Mdm Li towards the kitchen, the servants at the back could not help but gasp silently at Stephanie Ruan."Wow, who is she??... Is she young master's girlfriend?""Did you see her face when she smiled at us??... So pretty and elegant!!""No wonder young master will fancy a woman like her!..."Everyone looked at her with great respect. After all, she is the first girl that their young master had brought home. No one dared to treat her poorly!...It is only until now that Stephanie Ruan is in the mood to take a good look at the design of the well-furnished villa.Even though the interior design is modern and luxurious, it is completely not her style at

Stephanie Ruan immediately searched beneath the documents to check if there are more clues as to why Javier Zhong is interested in her family's case.She then found a close-up photo of a man in his late thirties, together with a grey name card placed next to it.The man had an ordinary look, with a disheveled beard. But he is not someone whom Stephanie Ruan recognises.As for the card, she took a closer look at the name of the company.[Albert Liu, Golden Sun Pawnshop] It's a pawnshop??...After thinking deeply for a few seconds, Stephanie Ruan took out her phone and quickly snapped a few pictures of what she has found....The next morning, Javier Zhong headed towards the dining hall, just right after his usual morning workout session."Is she still upstairs?" Seeing that Stephanie Ruan has yet to come down for breakfast, he asked Mdm Li, who is busy preparing his food."Young Master, Madam has left the hou
