"Sister-in-law, what do you think about this place?"Captain Andrew was walking ahead and discussing with the New Hanbok office real estate manager. Then, he flashed a friendly smile, turning to Londyn, standing behind him.At that moment, both Londyn and Lissandra were looking around in astonishment. Indeed, it seemed an ideal spot for a workplace.However, the price quoted by the manager was so favorable it made Londyn suspicious.Furthermore, being continuously referred to as 'sister-in-law' by Captain Andrew didn't sit well with her.“Ah, indeed, this place is most suitable. However, I must retreat to ponder for a while. We have much to prepare before relocating the office," were the words uttered in contemplation by Londyn.Before Captain Andrew could even respond, Regina, the acting property manager of the office building, with a smile and earnest look towards Londyn, graciously spoke up."Dear guests, please be assured. In addition to real estate, our office property company
"Are you... are you alright?!"Looking at the strapping youths writhing on the ground, Andrew's expression twitched slightly. His gaze swiftly shifted towards the slender woman with long, thin legs who exuded fierce energy, standing solemnly before him.Even as someone who had weathered countless storms, he found it hard to meet Lissandra's battle-hardened gaze. Her strikes had been precise and aimed low, at the groin.Andrew found himself at a loss for words to describe this sensation. But, the effectiveness was undeniable. Otherwise, how could those youths following that Osborne lad be in such a dreadful state?"I... I'm fine!"When Lissandra found herself under Andrew's gaze, she couldn't help feeling awkward. During the dire situation earlier, she had acted on instinct, kicking as she was accustomed to. But now, under the scrutiny, she couldn't help but feel somewhat embarrassed."What a useless bunch!"Seeing his minions trounced by a woman and in such a pathetic state, Young Mas
"Captain, someone wants to meet you!"Having just returned to the mansion, Ethan had barely settled down on the sofa when Spinel's voice suddenly rang out."Hmm?"He slightly lifted his head to see a middle-aged man standing behind Spinel, his head bald, face marked with a few scars, and both arms tattooed with fierce images. Ethan's brows furrowed slightly at the sight."Captain, this is the manager of the Fish Market."As if sensing Ethan's doubts, Spinel leaned in, whispering into his ear.A gentle breeze accompanied her soft voice, and although his mind was unfettered, Ethan felt a slight tremor within his spirit.However, he quickly regained his composure, shifting his gaze towards the intimidating yet seemingly meek middle-aged man standing to the side, barely daring to take a deep breath."Please, have a seat."Ethan gestured towards a seat across from him, speaking calmly. Although he showed no apparent attitude, the middle-aged man refused to sit, instead shaking his head con
"Lissandra, what do you think of this place? We'll be moving to the new workplace in a few days, so I want to move to a new place for convenience. Plus, it's very close to the city center. It's perfect for my daughter to start first grade next year!"After a lengthy discussion with the New Hanbok Real Estate Company manager and decided to move the office there next week, Londyn took Lissandra house hunting.Looking at the tidy arrangement of the apartment and considering its reasonable price, Londyn was delighted.However, upon hearing Londyn's words, Lissandra's face changed."Londyn, have you gone mad? This place is dirty and ugly, plus they're renting it out at such a high price. If you want to move closer to the office, move in with me. My house is empty right now, and I have a lot of spare rooms. If you and London move in, I will rent it to you for a low price, and you only need to pay the utilities and a little environmental cleaning fee each month!"Upon hearing Lissandra's sug
At that moment, the entrance to Londyn's company swung open. A striking woman, her lengthy hair flowing behind her, radiating an icy aura, elegantly emerged.Upon witnessing the company chairwoman, Ms. Edwards, making her exit, numerous male employees stole admiring glances, unable to resist a second look.But as she approached the street, a mysterious vehicle pulled up before her, a voice emanating from within, "Ms. Edwards, long time no see."Londyn was momentarily taken aback, looking up to see Farrer.Why was he here?She remembered how he'd persistently pursued her when she was still single, only to be repeatedly rejected.Having not seen him for a couple of years, why had he
"Indeed, I almost forgot."With a sudden movement, Farrer rose from his chair and reached into his pocket, revealing a small box, which he then unveiled to the curious eyes around him."Londyn, happy birthday. This is a gift I've prepared for you."The box revealed a silver necklace with a heart-shaped pendant. Basil couldn't help but raise an eyebrow; at first glance, the piece clearly held significant value.Londyn seemed taken aback. "Thank you, but this is too extravagant. I cannot accept it." she gently protested, clearly uneasy about receiving such a lavish gift from Farrer.But Farrer, pushing the box closer to her, spoke with passion. "It's been years since we last met, Londyn. This necklace symbolizes the longing I've felt for you all this time. You must accept it.""But I...""No buts." Farrer interjected: "Do you think I'd be like some others, showing up to Londyn's birthday unprepared, without even a simple gift? What kind of man would do that?"Without pausing, he sent a
Basil hesitated: "Ah, we can't blame Ethan entirely. It was Edsel who framed Samuel.""Moreover, Ethan is quite competent. You have no idea how much face Edsel lost in front of Ethan."On hearing this, Lily retorted with indignation: "What's so great about him? He's just a blind cat who caught a dead rat. It's pure luck.""If anyone's skilled, it's Samuel. What has Ethan got to do with it?""Driving a Honda, what can he achieve? Just fighting? What use is that?""Does he have money? What's his background? Is he even worthy of our Londyn?"Lily, a rather sharp-tongued and demanding woman, continuously vented, leaving Basil completely silenced by her barrage of words.She found herself wandering back to the soirée at the Edwards' mansion, where Ethan, in all his fleeting glory, had displayed a knack for combat, taking down Edsel with a swift maneuver. Yet, aside from that, he appeared bereft of any other discernible talents.“Where he exists, I cannot, and where I stand, he shall not!”
“A driver? That’s quite unimpressive." Harvey adjusted his glasses, revealing a smirk.He initially intended to maintain his gentlemanly facade, but Ethan had tested his patience, especially when he realized Ethan’s partner, Londyn, was far more beautiful than his own Ceridwen.A natural male jealousy sprouted, and Harvey could no longer mask his true colors.Ethan, however, responded with a soft chuckle: "What do you consider a promising future?”The room fell silent, and whispers filled the air.Ceridwen looked peeved. She wasn't expecting a comeback. With a haughty glare, she retorted: "Wondering what constitutes a promising future?”She then unveiled a glass case, and as everyone saw its contents, gasps echoed.“This... isn’t this the Hotan Jade ‘Peach Celebrating Longevity’ set that the international jeweler, Weaver Weatherall, has been advertising?”“My God! I recall it being priced at more than 3 million!”“More so, I thought it wasn’t even released to the public yet. How did y
