Semua Bab Love in Twilight: Bab 1761 - Bab 1770

The woman stood up and was taken aback when she saw Isobel. Then, she lowered her head, looking like she was mocking herself."This is my daughter-in-law, Zoe Wale," Philip said. "She's quite a famous actress in the country. She's an A-lister."He then glanced at Hugo.Hugo's expressionless face made his heart sink.It seemed Hugo had no interest in women.Isobel greeted Zoe politely, but Hugo did not say much. He sat beside Philip with Isobel on his other side.Zoe felt a familiar inferiority wash over her at the sight of Isobel. She knew she was pretty, but that's all it was. She felt lacking in many areas when compared with the intelligent, cultured Isobel. In her eyes, Isobel was the center of attention everywhere she went; she didn't have to do a thing.She did not expect to meet Isobel here today…After she and Dan got married, they'd moved out of Philip's house. She was always on set and spent months there at a time. Dan rarely visited her; Zoe knew he was spending all h

Isobel thought, 'As expected of a big shot from Urania. I think he's taught me a life lesson.'"Check me out of the hotel and book me a flight back to Deltz for this afternoon," Hugo said. This was his longest sentence so far."That soon?" Isobel exclaimed. "Aren't you going to stay in Tinkerton for a few days?"Hugo glanced at her in the rearview mirror silently before continuing to look out the window. Anyone else would probably say, "What nonsense are you spouting? Do what I tell you to. Don't you know your place?"Isobel was discouraged. If that was what he wanted, then so be it.Still, she was extremely curious about him. Hugo's actions confused her, but she was too embarrassed to ask. Since that was the case, she would ask Dexter next time. After all, they were brothers and knew each other best.Back at the hotel, Isobel opened the door for Hugo like she was a hotel employee.Well, she was supposed to be his personal secretary.Just as she was about to leave, she heard Hu

A few days ago, Dexter told Isobel he was returning to Deltz and would be making a trip to Genovia soon because he had many business matters to deal with there. Isobel took the opportunity to tell him she wanted to set up a branch in Deltz and asked him to help her scout out an office space.In the past few days, Dexter had been busy compiling suitable locations, details, and even photos for her. He shortlisted around a dozen locations, but the choice was hers.He spent a little over a week in Deltz before going to Genovia, staying at the Genovia International Hotel. After working around the clock for around ten days, he finally had the time to meet Isobel.Coincidentally, the contract with Prime Drones was about to be executed.Dexter came to Prime Drones. Isobel was very happy to see him.They did a thorough review of the contract before heading to the warehouse to check the drones that were about to be shipped. After two days of hustle and bustle, they sat down to discuss the l

After returning to her office, Dana sent a WhatsApp message to Calvin. [You mentioned a man from Deltz, right? He came to the company today, and I have to say that Isobel's taste is impeccable.]Calvin: [Is he Meranian or Uranian?]He knew Uranian men could marry four wives. Even if Isobel agreed, he would not. Moreover, even if the man said that he would only marry one, there were too many variables.Ever since Isobel returned home with the brooch, Calvin knew she had a very good impression of this man. Even Dana could tell she had good taste. If the relationship were to go sour, she would be the only one getting hurt.Dana: [He's of mixed blood, but I didn't ask about his nationality. You can ask Isobel yourself.]This had to do with his daughter's happiness. Calvin lowered his head and pondered for a moment before saying to Ashlyn, "That man's here. Let's treat him to a meal and size him up on Isobel's behalf. If they're incompatible, we must break them up as soon as possible."

It was only a smile, so no one found it odd. They only felt he was very considerate. Even someone like Ned, who liked to find fault with others, had no bones to pick.Since Isobel was surrounded by family, she let her guard down and ate like a child.The Lawrence family was all smart. They were extremely subtle when they interrogated Dexter on Isobel's behalf.Ned asked Dexter why he had come to Genovia, which he answered politely. Neil asked him what sort of businesses he had in Deltz, and he answered humbly, saying he was fortunate enough to have inherited plenty from his ancestors. He and his brother were standing on the shoulders of giants."By the way, Uranians can have four wives, right? I have a client from there with four wives, and he constantly has trouble maintaining the balance," Ned said with interest.Dexter quickly put down his cutlery. "Oh, that. Aside from the royal family, few people can actually have four wives. Most only have two because it's expensive to get m
