บททั้งหมดของ Love in Twilight: บทที่ 1831 - บทที่ 1840

Isobel was already pissed off about this. Now that Shannon said this, she felt even angrier."What about it?" she asked."He can have four wives! Do you think us Meranian women will have a good life with men like him? Think about how exploited Uranian women are. And they have to wear veils all day," Shannon said. "The only thing he has going for him is that face of his. Men like him are all fickle-minded.""Then who do you think is a good match for me?" Isobel tried her best to suppress her anger."My brother, of course. Think about it—he's well-educated and good at what he does, and our family's pretty great. Most importantly, he's liked you since you were young, and you know everything about him that there is to know. It's better for a woman to be with someone who loves her than with someone she loves. What do you think? We were good friends as children and can be in-laws in the future. How great is that?"Isobel put on a fake smile. Indeed, it was something to look forward to.

Then again, wasn't Isobel dating Hugo to show Calvin up? Why did she feel so nervous at the prospect of him finding out?She still felt that she'd been too rash.Hugo: [I went on a business trip a few days ago, so I'll come see you some other time. I have something to talk to you about.]Isobel: [Okay.]What could it be?Before Hugo could come to her, Calvin called her.She'd expected it when everyone started bragging about the cake. The company belonged to Dana, and Calvin knew most of the executives."Isobel, are you and Hugo dating? When did this happen?" Calvin asked cautiously.He was extremely dissatisfied with this."I'm sure you saw from everyone's photos. It's been a week," Isobel said.Calvin took a deep breath. "Invite him over tonight.""Dad…" Isobel said awkwardly."Do as I say!" Calvin hung up.Isobel knew what Calvin wanted to do, of course.Isobel: [Can you come to my house tonight? My dad wants to see you]She felt that Hugo probably wouldn't dare to com

Calvin tried his best to get Isobel out of trouble, but she refused to budge.As expected, all daughters would eventually form their own families. Even someone as outstanding as Isobel was no exception.Isobel was embarrassed by Calvin's words.Her father had never spoken to her like that, even as a child.Things were only made worse because he'd said it with Hugo around."Are you full? If you are, how about I take you back to the hotel?" she asked Hugo."Okay." Actually, Hugo hadn't eaten much at all. He'd only been going through the motions with this visit to the Lawrence family.Hugo glanced at Calvin and Ashlyn, then at Joshua, and said, "I'll get going first."Calvin felt that this meal was extremely suffocating. He had never felt this upset before. After Hugo left, he slammed his cutlery on the table. As expected, forts collapsed from the inside. With Isobel around, he couldn't do anything to Hugo.Isobel got into Hugo's car. She was a little regretful about what she had

At the entrance of the hotel, when the taxi arrived, Hugo put his arm around Isobel's waist and said to her, "Let me know when you get home.""Okay."Isobel got into the car. She pulled his gold business card out of the box again and looked it over, feeling amused. How could she possibly use something like this to resolve problems with her business?She'd always been contemptuous of using connections and pulling strings to get things done.However, she was reminded of Prime Drones recently encountering some difficulties. The sales department had recently come across a huge deal in Lesia—they'd probably be able to sell 10 thousand drones. This Lesian company focused on selling drones to Ashweir and other underdeveloped companies.Unfortunately, the sales department couldn't score the deal despite spending ages on it. They were losing hope and thinking of giving up on it.Isobel asked about the company in detail and found that it was run by a man by the surname of Acton. Apparently

"Stop tearing your hair out over this. There will be a way out when the time comes. You never know—maybe they'll turn out to be the real deal," Ashlyn said comfortingly."I'm just afraid that Isobel will get in too deep and be no match for that hunter," Calvin said.Ashlyn also heaved a sigh. "This is probably the heavens' way of punishing her for leading too smooth a life."Both of them were quite worried about their daughter, but deep down, they were still looking forward to it.…After Hugo told him about Philip, Joshua left the next day with the excuse that Centerfold Corporation's team-building session was over and that he had to return to Windmere City.Neil was furious. He knew that Joshua might have gone to look for Zoe.Indeed, Joshua had.Zoe was on set in Tinkerton, which was very close to home.This was their first time meeting after she'd gotten married. They met in a cafe.Joshua's first words were, "Philip's in a pickle. Do you have enough money to get by?"Zo
