Most of what Annabella knew about Matthew was learned from the news. Now that he was standing before her, she could not let the opportunity to get to know him better slip away. It was extremely important to her as she saw it as part of expanding her network.She politely extended her hand to shake Matthew’s and said, “Hello, Mr. Leon. I’ve seen you on the news before, and I’d like to get to know you better. Would that be okay?”Matthew looked at her outstretched hand without extending his own, and he responded nonchalantly, “Hello.”His one-word response instantly shattered all of Annabella’s hopes.Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Lucy pulled Matthew aside and whispered, “You should go wait for me in the car. I’ll go inform Mom and my brother.”Matthew nodded and returned to the car.Feeling embarrassed, Lucy apologized to Annabella, “I’m really sorry, but I can’t stay to chat with you. How about you stay for dinner? We’re preparing a feast. Let me escort you inside the palace

Lucy was still hung up on what happened, and Chelsea kept apologizing on the phone. Eventually, Chelsea suggested treating Lucy to dinner to make amends, which Lucy accepted.While on the phone, Lucy asked Matthew to go freshen up. When Matthew returned, he found Lucy still fully dressed, sprawled out on the bed with her phone in her hand. She was completely out like a light.Matthew lightly tapped her cheek and called her name, but she remained deeply asleep.It was not surprising, considering she had spent the entire day at the palace taking care of things. Although Matthew heard her complaints on the way back about how her sole purpose today was to sit there and look pretty, Matthew understood that she did not like social engagements. It was especially draining when it came to interacting with people she did not like.Matthew thought to himself that if this happened again in the future, he would have to find an excuse to take Lucy away and save her from these boring social obl

Hugh lifted his hand to cover her eyes. “Sleep a little longer. I’m feeling much better now. My fever has gone down, and I've coughed out most of the phlegm.”“No, I don’t trust you. I need to take your temperature myself.”Chelsea reached for the thermometer on the bedside table, but Hugh stopped her and placed her hand back under the covers.“Don’t worry, Chelsea. I told you before that I'd never lie to you. My fever has really gone down. You kept changing towels for me last night and barely got any sleep, so you must be exhausted. "Have a good rest, and when you wake up, we’ll go out for a meal.”Hugh kissed Chelsea on the forehead, but it was not enough, so he kissed her again on the cheek. In each other’s embrace, the two of them kissed for a long time before stopping.Chelsea playfully tapped Hugh. “I prefer you when you’re sick. How are you so full of energy when you’ve just recovered? I can barely keep up with you.”Hugh mischievously pinched her cheeks. “Go to sleep. I

Since Annabella could not get a favorable response from Theodore, she changed her tactics and started chatting with Juliana instead.Recently, Annabella came to the palace with gossip and witty jokes she heard from God knew where to entertain Juliana and make her laugh. Throughout it all, Theodore felt sidelined by Juliana, failing to find a chance to speak.While chatting with Juliana, Annabella would occasionally bring up Theodore, who would only smile politely as he did not want to seem disrespectful so soon.Sometimes, Theodore even wondered if Annabella had a defense made of iron as she seemed completely insusceptible to his coldness as she continued to approach him.Annabella spent the whole day in the palace, eating and sometimes going out of her way to help the maids.Theodore did not know if it was intentional, but Annabella knew very well that the maids would not allow her to help in the kitchen because of her status, yet she insisted on entering. This left the maids s

Matthew highly valued the integrity and reputation of his business partners in the industry.Hudson had a good reputation and public opinion, so Matthew had wanted to work with him even before Leon Corporation came to Charleston as he was thinking of venturing into the fashion industry back then.Leon Corporation had a limited understanding of the industry at the time and needed to conduct more market research, so working with Hudson would be beneficial.To work with him, Matthew even had his assistant investigate the current circumstances of his fashion company. He found out that if he had worked with Hudson when his company was in their prime, he could have dominated Charleston’s fashion industry. Unfortunately, just when Hudson was poised for greater success, internal struggles within the company led to his sacrifice. He was forced to move to Eurovia.Hudson achieved decent growth in Gerd, but his performance was not as remarkable compared to his peak in Charleston. However, M
