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

Imogen did not know how to respond to that.She had never met Old Mr. York, who had passed away from illness when Zachary was in his early twenties, which was about six or seven years ago.“I’m sure he’ll still be overjoyed, watching over you in heaven, as long as you guys remain well and filial to your nana.”Dylan was silent for a moment before he replied, “That’s true. We’ll all remain well, and we’ll stay filial to Nana too.”All the York boys were deeply attached to their nana. On the contrary, they were slightly less attached to their parents.Once they arrived at Huntington Hotel, Imogen parked the car, and they got out. Then, Dylan asked, “Imogen, aren’t you going to take the bouquet I gave you with you?”“We’re going to eat. There’s no need to. It’d only get in the way. Next time, don’t get me such a big one. It’s tiring just carrying it.”Dylan chuckled, “But a big bouquet is prettier. Alright, I’ll get you a smaller one next time.”He would give her anything she want

The adults wanted them to have nutritionally balanced meals and did not allow them to be choosy with their food. There was no way for them to become as fussy as Isabella with that sort of habit drilled into them and maintained to this day.“Nana definitely would have considered it thoroughly while choosing someone for Mr. Austin. She wouldn’t have chosen Ms. O’Connor if Mr. Austin couldn’t handle her, even if she thought highly of her.“I think Grandma May has great judgment. She understands you guys like the back of her hand and knows what sort of ladies suit her grandsons.“Like for Mr. Zachary, he’s cold and indifferent to women, so Grandma May forced him into a marriage of convenience with Serenity. She leveraged his strong sense of responsibility. “She knew that once they were husband and wife, he would feel the need to do his best as her husband, and he would pay more attention to her. Then, after they got to know each other, feelings would naturally develop.”The York men

“By the way, I saw Austin’s fiancée when I was home. She followed him to Wiltspoon and met his parents for the first time. I think Ms. O’Connor is very similar to Hayden.”Imogen glanced at Dylan before concentrating on the road ahead yet again.“Why? Is Austin’s fiancée also pretending to be a man?”Imogen knew about Hayden’s story. From Dylan’s words, she thought Austin’s future wife was also a woman pretending to be a man. She even thought, ‘Why does Grandma May like finding granddaughters-in-law who were hiding their real gender?’“That’s not it. I meant to say Ms. O’Connor’s personality is quite similar to Hayden’s. They’re both serious people. Perhaps it’s because they are in charge of the family business.”The difference was that Hayden had chosen that path herself. She enjoyed doing business and preferred to present herself as a man. Most people mistook her and Hugh for brothers. In Jensburg, many people continued addressing her as “Mr. Queen”.Hayden did not correct
