There was no way someone as competent as River could not earn a living in Wiltspoon.He was definitely lying. That man probably never spoke the truth all along.“The Maybach in front belongs to River, right? I remember his car plate number.”Not only Rosalie had it etched in her mind, but Christian also had an impression of it.More accurately, most of the tycoons in Solville had River’s car plate number memorized because he was too outstanding. He had caught their attention when Crest Co. had evaded its dire situation and was listed as a megacorporation under his leadership. Rosalie was not the only one targeting Crest Co. The rest were simply playing tricks behind the scenes, unlike Summit Group, which was openly competing with Crest Co. River admired a competitor like Rosalie more than the others. At least she was straightforward and would not resort to petty tricks. “Yes. He’s early,” said Rosalie. Christian looked toward her and said, “You might not like hearing this,

It would be great if they could develop feelings for each other. Otherwise, they could simply remain as friends.Besides, their families had business collaborations with each other, so being friends was not a bad idea either.For Christian, he simply wanted to marry a gentle woman who prioritized family. She did not have to be very capable. She just had to take care of his family, cook for him, and be someone he could talk to whenever he got home.However, his parents always insisted that he needed strong in-laws because he was an only son. Of course, the in-laws also had to be a good family with decent character. Otherwise, Christian would have to constantly be on guard in case they decided to seize the Jacques family’s assets.“My parents like you a lot too,” said Rosalie.“They love talking about health. Since you listened attentively and even exchanged opinions with them, they had a great impression of you.”Christian said, “Mr. and Mrs. Lafayette’s ways must be working. Th

“It doesn’t matter why she did it. We don’t have to worry about her. Rosalie’s almost thirty. She knows what she’s doing and what should be done. She has been a sensible child since she was a teenager.”Mrs. Lafayette thought that being anxious about Rosalie’s marriage would only affect her own health. There was no need to keep guessing.Their children were adults and knew what they were doing anyway.“Should we travel to Wiltspoon a few days later, honey? I heard there are many tourist attractions there.”Mrs. Lafayette suggested a trip to her husband. Mr. Lafayette agreed to it without hesitation. “I thought of it too.”Although the couple did not want to interfere with Rosalie’s marriage, they shared the idea of heading to Wiltspoon to gather information about River’s family.A family that raised a child as outstanding as River was most likely a good one.Mr. and Mrs. Lafayette were not particular about the family backgrounds of their children’s partners. They prioritized t

“Plenty of men put on their best behavior when pursuing a woman, only to change completely once they’ve succeeded.“Time will tell. Only with time can we see his true colors.“Most importantly, it depends on whether Rosalie’s serious about it.”Back inside, they settled onto the sofa.Mrs. Lafayette said, “When I went upstairs earlier, Rosalie was still picking out her dress. That’s definitely unusual. Normally, for events, she just grabs any dress and heads out.“She’s never been this indecisive before. I want to say she’s doing this for Christian and trying to impress him by showing her best self, but I’m not entirely convinced.”No one knew a daughter better than her mother.Mrs. Lafayette understood her child well.“If not for Christian, then who? I’ve never heard of her liking anyone else. If she had someone in mind, my dad wouldn’t be so worried. Oh, darling, does this mean we’ve failed as parents?“My dad is eighty years old and still serving as chairman, overseeing maj

Rosalie had known her mother would not agree to come.“Your health regimen seems pretty effective. Once I retire, I’ll follow it too.”Mrs. Lafayette waved her off. “You’re still young. Retirement is decades away for you. Focus on your work for now.”By the time her children reached retirement age, she might not even be around anymore. It was a somber topic she preferred to avoid.The mother and daughter made their way downstairs together.Christian had been chatting with Mr. Lafayette for quite a while. The older man had gone on at length about his health routines, but Christian had listened patiently, occasionally chiming in with thoughtful remarks. Their conversation had actually been quite pleasant.Just from this brief exchange, Mr. Lafayette was already impressed with Christian.Most young people could not stand his ramblings about wellness, but Christian had not only listened attentively, but he had even asked for advice. Mr. Lafayette felt the young man seemed very pat

The only man who had managed to maintain a connection with her daughter all these years was River, that sworn rival of hers. Mrs. Lafayette sighed inwardly.“Rosalie, Christian is a good man. He’s got a good temper, too. Try to get along with him. If things go well after some time, just marry him. Our families are already acquainted anyway.“If you marry him, our whole family will rest easy. He lives close by, too. If the Jacques family ever dares to bully you, we’ll be right there to stand up for you.”Rosalie replied, “If Christian dares to mess with me, I’ll beat him up first. I’ll smash his head in and teach him a lesson!”Mrs. Lafayette was at a loss for words.This daughter of hers was a little too fierce.No wonder ordinary men did not dare pursue her.“Alright, you should go downstairs. Don’t keep Christian waiting. Oh, and tonight at the banquet. Don’t get drunk. I’ve already told Christian to keep an eye on you.“You’re a bad drunk and you keep flirting with handsome
