All Chapters of Guardian-In-Law: Chapter 4581 - Chapter 4590

“What do you mean by that, Mrs. Wall? I haven’t offended you. Why would you say such a thing?”Agnes did not want Darcy’s reputation to be ruined before she could find a satisfactory husband, so she could not allow Ruth to speak carelessly.Faced with such mockery, Darcy maintained her composure and said calmly, “Perhaps it’s because you don’t know me well. Maybe we can interact more in the future, so there won’t be any more misunderstandings.”Her actions actually made the other women view her in a better light.Darcy seemed different from other young ladies. She was a woman with ambition and capability.For her to stand out among her family at her age proved that she had some real skill.“You really do know how to speak.”Ruth was still displeased, but she knew her boundaries and would not go too far, especially at a time like this.She could not afford to offend Margot, so she could only lower her head and reconcile with them.At that moment, Agnes turned to look at the daz

“If you really care about me, then just sit there obediently and chat nicely with those ladies.“Stop making a scene anymore. I have my own way of doing things. I came here to make connections. I don’t want to offend those important people.”Darcy knew what her status was. She was not in the same league as those people.Thus, she did not harbor any delusions about making friends from other social standings. The best thing she could do now was to maintain good relations with the people here. If there were a chance to cooperate, it would come naturally. Regardless, having more friends meant more options.Her mother’s idea of crossing social boundaries to befriend people higher up on the ladder was simply impossible. They were not on the same ranks, so they would not be valued, let alone treated as equals.“I’m doing this for your sake. Your company’s business is doing so poorly now. If you don’t work hard, HQ might really start blaming you.“I know I’m going a little far, but we’re

“I also came here for the branch leader. If I could meet him, that would naturally be the best outcome. At least I’d recognize him in the future.”“The branch leader is too mysterious. Even now, he refuses to show himself.”“He really is mysterious. No one knows his background. It seems only Edmund and a few others know his real identity,” someone else added.After all, this question had troubled them for a long time.“But from what Mr. Witterson said, it seems the branch leader is behind the scenes. If we spend a lot at this auction, would it catch the leader’s attention?“If buying these items will lead to us meeting the branch leader, then the money spent will be worth it.”“But what if we use all our money but still fail to meet him? That’ll be a waste.”Some people were more rational. They wanted to gamble, but they were afraid of failure.“No matter what, we should at least try. If we miss this chance to meet the branch leader, we’ll regret it forever.”“That’s right. We

“Now is the time. Go. I’ll cover you,” Quill said softly. Fletcher then walked into the crowd, seemingly going for the catering but actually approaching the stairs to the second floor. There were two guards at the entrance of the stairs, but since the event had already started, they were slightly distracted. Fletcher had a glass of a cocktail in his hand, waiting for the perfect chance to slip in. The guards saw him, but he acted naturally. He looked up to the second floor, as if he was wondering who was up there. Since it was a normal reaction, the guards did not have a reason to shun him away since he was a guest. Though his presence alarmed them. Fletcher realized he could not get through the guards and was marked already, which was problematic for him. It was not his first mission, so he was experienced in getting through security. There should be another way up, not just the stairs. The guests on the second floor must want food and beverages as well, so waiters

“Get up,” Lyra said. Fletcher stood up but his head remained low, soaking himself in guilt. He and Quill took the risk and came all the way here just to find out the identity of the mysterious branch leader, yet they made no progress. “Boss, we were not slacking. We’ve been working hard to make progress. We even gathered the wealthy families to boycott Edmund, but it didn’t work. Otherwise, we could have squeezed the information out of him. “We also have a few suspects but all of them turned out clean,” Fletcher said. Lyra breathed heavily. She took a sip of the water and calmed down. “As long as he is still here, I’ll get him and he won’t be able to run,” she said. She did not want to miss the golden opportunity. Though there were no updates at the moment, she believed she would get something really soon. They were not the only ones who wanted to meet the branch leader; all the other attendees of the auctions came here just for this purpose, too. It would not be easy
