Though the Doyles were now managed by the daughters, the ladies were highly capable. They could run Davidson Group without the older generation’s constant oversight, allowing their parents to retire and enjoy life in peace.Many of Huntington’s upper class envied those like Winston.“You didn't have anything on tonight and left work early. Were you on a date with Dylan?”“How did you know?” Imogen admitted openly before suddenly exclaiming, “Oh no! I forgot the bouquet and jewelry he gave me!”She immediately stood up and hurried out.Leticia laughed. “You left his gifts in the car? Seems like your feelings for him aren't that deep yet.”Imogen had already stepped out of the main house and did not respond.When she returned with the bouquet and jewelry box, Leticia teased her again, even joking, “If your feelings for Dylan aren’t serious and you could break up anytime, why not consider Kade?“Our families are close, and your Godma has been my friend for decades. She watched you

Dylan said, “If that’s what you want, I’ll spare no effort to make it happen for you.”“Aren't you afraid I'll take all your money and then kick you to the curb, leaving you with nothing?”Dylan grabbed her hand, his expression full of trust. “I believe in your character. You wouldn’t do that. And if you did, it would still be my fault.”“How would it be your fault?”“You’d only kick me to the curb because I didn’t do well enough. I would have failed to earn your complete trust and love, to make you willing to spend your life with me.“So the issue would be with me, not you.”Imogen stared at him for a long moment before suddenly reaching out to pinch his cheek, though she remained silent.During the movie, Dylan’s attention was entirely on her. He had no idea what the film was about because he was too busy feeding her snacks.When the movie ended and they left the theater, Imogen scolded him, “I’ve been eating snacks all night and I’m stuffed! It’ll ruin my sleep. You’re comin

Fortunately, Grandma May had arranged for him to pursue her, and the one she liked was him.The two chatted all the way, soon arriving at the nearest cinema.To be honest, Dylan had not been to a movie theater in ages either. If he wanted to watch a film, he could easily do so at home.However, since this was how most people dated, he followed suit—both to spend some time with Imogen and to experience the novelty of a cinema date.Since Imogen liked fantasy adventure and horror films, Dylan bought tickets for a horror movie. However, there was still some time before the screening, so the two strolled around the cinema.Dylan also bought a bunch of snacks for Imogen, saying they could munch on them during the movie.Imogen protested that he had bought too much. She was not a child, after all. With so many kinds of snacks, she would probably be too distracted eating to even follow the plot.Despite her words, she was secretly pleased.Then, Dylan tried to buy her luxury handbags

Once in the car, Dylan asked, “What kind of movies do you like?”Imogen replied, “Anything except romance. I love fantasy adventure, horror—pretty much everything else.”Dylan chuckled. “Don’t most girls like romance films? Do you have a favorite celebrity?”“Nope. I’ve never really admired actors. I prefer those who’ve made great contributions to the country and society.”For someone of her status, it would be easy for her to encounter a celebrity she idolized. She could sign them to her family’s entertainment company in a heartbeat and have them work for her.Dylan nodded. “I see.”It was no wonder she liked to don disguises and roam the world. She must have watched too many fantasy adventure films and dreamed of being a heroic swordswoman.However, Dylan was wrong. Imogen wore disguises for two reasons. First, she could not reveal she was a Doyle, afraid it might affect the family’s reputation. Plus, as a noble heiress, everything she did was constrained and her family had

After a long pause, Dylan finally spoke. “Imogen, I haven’t done well enough. I’ll work harder and do better in the future.”“I’ll be attending a banquet this Saturday, and I’ll need someone to accompany me. See if you’re free.”The surprise came so suddenly that Dylan jerked his head up, staring at Imogen in a delighted disbelief. “Imogen, are you talking to me?”“Is there anyone else here besides us?”This guy could be so dense sometimes.Dylan grinned from ear to ear. “I was just afraid I misheard. Imogen, I’m always free. Whenever you need someone to accompany you to events or social engagements, just let me know.“I’d be more than happy to go with you and to be your protector.”Even if she did not invite him, if he found out she was attending some banquet, he would find a way to get an invitation and follow her anyway.He could not risk letting another man steal his Fox away.From what he knew, many wealthy madams in Huntington had their eyes on Imogen, hoping she would b

Imogen asked, “Can you really do it in two years?”“Imogen, you should be supporting and encouraging me, not questioning whether I can do it. I can do it!”“I wasn’t questioning that. I just meant that establishing a company and getting it running smoothly in a year or two is extremely difficult unless the industry happens to be at its peak. But right now, very few industries are in such a position.”This guy had twisted her words. Her question was not about his capability, but whether the timeline was feasible.Dylan looked at her and said, “Imogen, how about we make a bet?”“What kind of bet?”“A bet on ourselves. If I can get our Huntington branch running smoothly within two years, you marry me.”“And if you lose?” Imogen countered.Dylan leaned back and spread his hands. “Then I marry you. If I win, you pledge yourself to me. If I lose, I pledge myself to you.”Imogen scoffed. “What a swindler! The outcome is the same either way.”“It’s different! One way, you marry me an
