Chapter 4705
If the class reunions were held in Solville, Rosalie could squeeze some time out to show up and meet her ex-classmates. Some of them were capable, and she wanted to headhunt them. That was the true reason behind her joining gatherings. “I need to take this call, River.”River smiled and gestured at her to go on. Rosalie answered the call before him. The class rep’s name was Lucinda, and there was a period when they had been close during their high school years. However, in senior year, Lucinda had a conflict with another student from Rosalie’s dorm and ended up ignoring Rosalie altogether.During the college entrance exam, Lucinda did not perform well and scored lower than Rosalie. Rosalie got into a prestigious university, whereas Lucinda could only enroll in an ordinary university. They had not contacted each other for a long time after that.From what Rosalie had heard from other ex-classmates, Lucinda had badmouthed her for some time after the results were out. She was j

Rosalie put the bouquet down and opened the box. The jewelry came in a set and was simple and elegant. It was really the style she preferred. She liked simple and elegant things. “Shall I put them on for you?” River asked. He wanted to see what she looked like wearing the jewelry. However, Rosalie closed the box and put it back in the bag it came in. She pushed the bag toward River and said, “I can’t accept this. It’s too expensive.“We’re not in that kind of relationship yet.”She could accept flowers because they were not extravagant. However, she would not take precious gifts because she did not want to owe him too much if things did not work out between them.River stared at her. He said, “I’m wooing you, Rosalie. Every man gives the woman he’s pursuing some gifts. The jewelry isn’t expensive. It’s only about a hundred thousand dollars. It’s probably the cheapest set among the jewelry you own.”It was not that he did not want to give her better things. He simply knew

Christian sounded jealous. “I can’t believe River is going to get a girlfriend, whereas I’m still single.“I was trying to get into a relationship with Rosalie, but River came between us.”Damian’s eyes gleamed. He said, “You can still pursue my sister. She hasn’t accepted River’s confession, so they’re not a couple yet. You still have a chance, a fair competition with River.“If you pursue Rosalie, you can even make River nervous. It might even give their relationship a boost. When they get married, I’ll be sure to reward you handsomely as a token of appreciation.”Damian wanted River and Rosalie to stop delaying things and get together quickly. River was thirty-one, and Rosalie was twenty-nine. Even if years had passed, River would still be a mature and composed man in his thirties. On the other hand, some women aged quickly after they hit their thirties. If she had to wait for years to get married and have children, she would face higher risks during her pregnancies.Christ

Solville was in the north, while Wiltspoon was in the south. The folks of these two cities led vastly different lifestyles as well. Winter was not cold in Wiltspoon but Solville experienced heavy snowfall. The people of Solville had to put on extra layers as soon as fall came around.“We’ll accept River and Rosalie’s relationship as long as they genuinely love each other, even if they live in different countries. Now, they are simply living in different cities of the same country. “Traveling is convenient nowadays. They can reach each other’s cities on the same day via airplane or train. Distance isn’t a problem.”Damian was open-minded. Christian teased him, saying, “I think you’re eager to marry your sister off.”Damian smiled. “Rosalie is hitting thirty soon. If she doesn’t get married, our family will continue to worry. She’s the eldest girl, so if she doesn’t do it first, then her younger cousins and sisters will refuse to.“My grandpa has been anxious about it.”On the

“Did River come again?” Damian asked. Christian replied, “Not only did he come, but he also brought flowers and presents. I think they’re jewelry. He’s pursuing Rosalie openly now.”Damian smiled. “I guess we can just sit back and watch. Rosalie doesn’t get lovestruck. Whether he can win her heart also depends on the future direction of Crest Co.. If it remains a competitor of Summit Group, he and Rosalie can only remain the way they are now.”Marriage would be difficult. There would be no meaning to it if Rosalie and River kept their guard up around each other.“Have you all investigated River’s family background?” Christian suddenly asked. “Although I’m not romantically in love with Rosalie, our families are close, and we’ve been on a blind date before. I hope she can marry a nice person. We should find a partner who has a similar social status to us.”If it were just a fling, the person’s family background did not matter. However, once marriage was involved, they had to ch

Christian replied bemusedly, “If you like Rosalie, you should just say so. Why beat around the bush like this?”“Like I said, I’m not beating around the bush anymore.”River waved the bouquet and gifts he bought. “I'm working on it. I just don’t know when I’ll actually get to invite you to my wedding.”Christian suddenly patted his shoulder. “Good luck, Mr. York. We’re all waiting for the day. But you two are notorious rivals. The obstacles in your way are just too big.“That might be tricky to resolve. How about this—why don’t you transfer all your shares in Crest Co. to me?”“Why not transfer your shares in Silver Co. to me instead? I can afford to buy out Silver Co.”Christian chuckled. “Just kidding. I believe you can handle it, Mr. York. Come on, let’s go in together.”He led the way inside.River immediately followed. “Does that mean you intend to compete with me, Mr. Jacques?”Christian glanced at him and admitted frankly, “I'm no match for you. I know my place and won'
