After Fox left Dylan PLC, she quickly hailed a cab and left in it. She even looked back to make sure Dylan had not come after her. She had to admit that she put a bit too much strength into that kick. He had probably fallen back onto the floor and could not get up in time.Half an hour later at the Stones’ residence, a stranger stood at the entrance. She looked around and glanced repeatedly at the plaque to confirm she was in the right place. Then, she rang the doorbell. Soon, a female employee walked out and saw the pretty but unfamiliar girl in her twenties standing at the entrance, dressed in regular clothing and holding a little bag. She even looked a little timid when she spotted the employee.The employee did not immediately open the door and asked behind the gate, “May I know who you’re looking for?”Was she Ms. Elisa’s friend? It did not look like it. Ms. Elisa did not have many good friends, and the closest was Tasha House. Most of the other rich socialites did not like int

The employee gestured Sugar into the house. She then walked ahead and up to Audrey, who was sitting on the sofa, before saying respectfully, “Madam, a certain Ms. Sugar is here to look for Mr. Silver.” Silver turned to beckon for his little girl. “Over here, Sugar.”Audrey did not know Silver had called Sugar over. When Silver called for Sugar, she looked over and saw she was a young girl who looked slightly younger than Elisa. She was dressed simply, but had an outstanding air about her. She looked a bit timid, but from the way she walked, she seemed confident at the same time.Either way, the first impression Audrey had was that Sugar was a complicated and contradictory being. Not knowing if Sugar was Silver’s granddaughter or disciple, Audrey could not randomly guess either. Regardless, there was no way she was a useless and timid person.She was most probably a wolf in sheep’s clothing. How could any of the old gentlemen’s disciples be timid and easily intimidated? Sugar walke

After the meal, apart from Patrick, the rest of the old gentlemen took their leave. The Stones warmly urged them to stay.Audrey said, “Old Mrs. York will be coming over later. She called me and told me to make sure you guys stay back because she wants to have a meal with you.”At this, Silver and the rest looked around at each other. Finally, Doc conceded, “Old Pat hasn’t woken up yet. If we leave like this, he’ll definitely complain about us abandoning him without a word when he wakes up. Why don’t we stay in Wiltspoon for a little longer and head back tomorrow or the day after?”He added, “Even I’m not in a rush to go back and see my grandson. You guys don’t even have any grandchildren, so why are you in a rush to head back? To stare at each other? How boring.”Audrey chimed in, “That’s right. Since you’re already here, just stay a few more days so that I can thank you gentlemen properly for taking such good care of Uncle True all these years. You’re the reason I could see him a

“It makes us feel like failures when none of our disciples are getting married. It’s embarrassing to say that the ones we taught cannot get a wife or husband.”The old gentlemen nodded in agreement. Sugar quickly grabbed Elisa’s arm and said, “Let’s go, Elisa. I’m tired of listening to them bugging me to get married.“I’m only twenty-six, not thirty-six or forty-six. Do they have to bug me? They’re even older than me. Why didn’t they get a wife when we were urging them?”Elisa exited the house with her. As they walked, she smiled. “You’ll get used to it.”The girls left. The old bunch also said they wished to go on a stroll without Audrey and Darrell’s company. Audrey arranged for Clive and Remy to accompany them instead. Remy was a young master of the Johnsons, who were in-laws to Doc. He could definitely engage in conversations with the old gentlemen. Meanwhile, at Wiltspoon Hotel, Dylan leaned against his chair after eating and called Zachary. When Zachary picked up,

Dylan immediately sat up straight. He said, “I don’t regret it.“It’s fine, Zachary. I’ll think of something myself.”Dylan thought of how he had rejected his nana’s arrangement. He feared being laughed at by his brothers and getting scolded by Grandma May. Therefore, he decided not to get Zachary’s help and figure something out by himself.“Remember to return the item to the lady when you find her. Otherwise, it will only make her impression of you worse.“You should attract her with sincerity and honesty. That way, you will have a happy future with her.”Zachary shared his experience with Dylan as someone who had gone through it before. Dylan replied, “I know, Zachary. I will give it back to her when she looks for me next time. Are you guys coming back to the city now? I hear cars in the background.”“Yeah, we’re on the way back to the city.”“I shall not take up more of your time. I’ll return to the company and get some rest. I have two meetings in the evening.”“Take care
