After thinking about it, Heath said, “Is Uncle River better than Uncle Austin at cooking? We can have our meal at home if that’s true. If not, you can take us out for dinner, Uncle River.“Mom said every place has its unique food. I want to try Solville’s local food.”River smiled. “I learned how to cook, but I’m not as good as Austin. He loved cooking since he was young and had learned from many master chefs.“How can I possibly be better than him? However, I must say that I can also prepare delicious food.“We can have our meal at the hotel we went to just now. The food there is great. They serve many of Solville’s local delicacies.”“Okay.”Heath clapped his hands happily.Callia copied her brother and also clapped her hands ecstatically.Serenity said, “Any restaurant’s fine. It’ll be pretty tiring to cook a meal ourselves.”River most likely did not cook often. Serenity had gone to his kitchen and saw the refrigerator. There were not many ingredients inside, and they we

Damian asked.“Yes, from Wiltspoon—over 1,200 miles away. It’s really far.”Rosalie had never been to Wiltspoon.The Lafayettes had no business interests there, so she had never had a reason to visit. As for going there on vacation, who had the time?Damian suddenly considered sending someone to investigate River’s family background.His sister immediately guessed his thoughts. She warned, “Damian, there’s no way River and I will ever be a thing. Don’t waste effort digging into his family.“We’ve been rivals for years. Neither of us has ever backed down.“If we actually got together, we’d be fighting nonstop. At work, at home, there’d be no peace whatsoever. I have absolutely no desire for a chaotic life like that.”After a moment of thought, she added, “I’ll ask Grandpa if Mr. Jacques is still single. We’ve met a few times, and Grandpa quite likes him and thinks we’re compatible.“He was my senior in school, and we can hold a conversation. If he’s available, maybe I’ll give i

Rosalie stared at her brother in disbelief. “Damian, River and I are sworn enemies. To defeat my opponents, of course, I have to understand them inside out.”“Know thyself and know thy enemy, and you will never be defeated” was an art of war, not a dating strategy. Damian chuckled. “I’m just saying. I’m not going to force you to be with him. But if you look at him from another angle, he really is exceptional. He does have plenty of admirers, you know.”Rosalie pursed her lips. “So what? I don’t like him. No matter how many girls like him, it’s none of my business.”After a brief pause, she muttered under her breath, “Besides, he doesn’t like me either.”Her brother smiled but did not press further. Instead, he changed the subject. “There’s an invitation to a dinner on Saturday night. You should make an appearance. I won’t be going.”“Saturday? Today is Wednesday. Okay, got it.”Rosalie had attended countless corporate events by now and was plenty experienced. Even if she was to

The founder of Crest Co. had both vision and wisdom.By transferring half of his shares to River, he had effectively locked River at Crest Co., ensuring that as long as the company thrived, he would continue to profit.Indeed, the founder had already reaped immense rewards and had gone from a man on the brink of bankruptcy to a billionaire.His wealth would only grow from here.Now that Crest Co. had essentially become River’s company, there was no way River would abandon it for another corporation.Instead, he would pour all his efforts into making Crest Co. bigger and better.The founder rarely involved himself in operations; River called all the shots. Even during the occasional meetings of critical importance, the founder deferred to River’s judgment.These days, his life revolved around his teenage daughter and son in middle school, with plenty of leisure time to travel with his wife, all while earning massive annual profits.It was truly a carefree lifestyle that inspired

“You did hit him, so apologizing is the right thing to do,” Damian said.“I already apologized very sincerely. I even explained to everyone present that it was a misunderstanding and my fault. I even iced his face for him. I did everything I was supposed to.“You don’t know how shameless he is! Just now, he called and demanded I treat him to dinner. He said if I don’t, he’s going to tell on me to Grandpa and accuse me of taking advantage of him, and ask me to take responsibility.“He said my palm ‘kissed’ his face, so that’s equivalent to taking advantage of him!”“Only River could twist getting slapped into something so outlandish. I have to admit, even I’m impressed by how easily shit like this comes out of his mouth.”Damian internally rolled his eyes. The man was obviously just making excuses to have a meal with her.Hearing his sister’s words only confirmed his suspicions that River had feelings for her.Outwardly, though, he played along. “Then he really is shameless. What

In the past, whenever Rosalie stole business from River, he would sometimes storm into the Summit Group office to settle the score, too.After years of watching their battles, the employees had grown accustomed to it.“I went specifically to confront him, but he had guests, so I let him off for now.” Rosalie painted herself as the victorious one.“Oh, really?” Damian walked over and sat across from her, amused. “Then why do you look so upset? You lost, didn’t you?“How could I lose? Can you not talk him up while putting me down? When I go up against River, I really don’t lose that often.”It was probably around half the time.Okay, fine. It was more than half.“I even slapped him.”She muttered, “I’ve wanted to stuff him in a sack and beat him up for ages.”“You actually hit him? Now that’s a bit much.”Rosalie grumbled, “Whose side are you on, brother? I’m your sister! River is our sworn enemy, and Crest Co. keeps expanding. They’ve even opened branches now.“We can’t affor
