Kaden looked pleadingly at Sonny.Sonny did not want them to continue fighting, so spontaneously, he said, “I do want to get to know Clearfield’s industry leaders. Since you’re so kindly giving me this chance, I won’t refuse your good intentions.“Ms. Flemming, I won’t work late tonight. I’ll go with you to that banquet. When the time comes, I’ll have to trouble you to introduce me to them.”The moment the words left his mouth, there was no room for regret.Nevertheless, he did not regret it. It was just a brief moment of weakness that made him not want to continue watching the show.Everly’s head whipped around to glare at him, accusing him of giving in to her grandfather. He had opened the floodgates and now her grandfather would keep making requests like this.Sonny chuckled, “It’s fine if you don’t want my accompaniment. We can go our own ways, but I didn’t get an invitation, so I might get stopped at the door.”That would be embarrassing.Kaden hurriedly reassured, “That w

Sonny was surprised for a moment, not expecting Kaden to ask him to accompany Everly to a banquet.If the two attended the banquet together, it was only going to fuel rumors.Before he could refuse, Everly said, “Grandpa, I can go alone. There’s no need to trouble Mr. Brown. I’ll bring the bodyguards and my secretary with me, and they’ll protect me. “Besides, I usually don’t drink that much at banquets. That’s well known here in Clearfield. Few would dare force me to drink.”Though she was a girl, she was raised by her grandfather and started learning the ropes of the business in her teens. She was considered to have over a decade of experience in the industry. Having built her reputation with her status and identity, and with Flemming Group as her backing, no one dared to make light of her.In fact, most people did not dare to provoke her, knowing she was not an easy one to deal with.Some people schemed against her, but most of them were her relatives. They only dared to do so

“You hosted us when we visited you, so now that you’re in Clearfield, we definitely must show you our hospitality.”Kaden chuckled, “Why don’t you just come stay with us? My house is big enough, and we have plenty of guest rooms.”“Thank you, sir, but my secretary’s already booked a hotel room for me. After this, I’ll head there to freshen up before going to the office.”Every time he went on a business trip, his secretary would help him book his accommodation and flights.The only exception was if he already owned a place at his destination. Then, he would just stay in his property, and his secretary would book his flight or train tickets for him.“Is that so? Alright, then. The next time you visit, you should give us a heads up. We’ll arrange everything for you.”Sonny thanked him with a smile and did not turn down Kaden’s platitudes outright.The three chatted for a while before the manager entered with some servers to serve the food.“Do you drink, Mr. Brown?” Kaden asked.

It was better to refuse firmly from the beginning rather than getting dragged into the whirlpool of emotional blackmail from her relatives.Sonny expressed his understanding.His Aunt Chelsea had also wanted him to arrange jobs for his cousins, saying that Lewis & Co. was a huge company with many positions available. All he had to do was find them a random job, and they could earn a high income and improve their living conditions.However, in Sonny’s opinion, Chelsea’s family was already living quite comfortably.George’s building-materials business was doing well, and they had an annual income of several hundred thousand. Chelsea had also saved quite a bit of money when she was younger. In the past, the family’s living expenses had been covered by the old Brown couple’s pensions and Hank’s money.Chelsea and George saved their own income, deliberately spending Hank’s money instead. After Sonny’s parents divorced, his father lost his job and could only work as a ride-hailing drive

“Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Brown. I won’t accept a blind date like Mr. Tatum. No matter who introduces him to me, if I say no, then it’s a no.”Everly would have a proper talk with her mother and uncle later.Even if she had to get married, her partner would be her decision.Sonny nodded.Everly continued, “My maternal relatives are always introducing men to me. I’ve rejected countless men and even had people investigate the men they introduced. Not a single one of them was good.”At first, whenever a relative introduced a man to her, she would have him investigated. Once she found his flaws, she would tell her relatives about them. She thought that doing that would make them give up.Unfortunately, she was too naive. Not only did they refuse to give up, but they also became even more persistent. They kept introducing so-called excellent men to her. That was when she realized that they were not doing this for her sake at all.They simply wanted to use her marriage to gain

After being scolded by Andy, Nate was still unconvinced.He muttered, “Everly’s client obviously looks like an outstanding man. I was jealous. He’s the first man I’ve seen who’s better-looking than me.“There’s also the way Everly looks down on everyone. I can’t stand it. If she hadn’t been lucky enough to be born into the Flemming family, she would be nothing.“Who does she think she is? She only gets to be so arrogant because she was born a Flemming, and the Flemmings just happen to have only one child.”Andy scolded his son, “You’re being narrow-minded and can’t see Everly’s strengths. Although she’s a woman, she was raised personally by her grandfather, so she’s more than capable. Even if Old Mr. Flemming steps down, she can hold Flemming Group up all by herself.“That’s right. She has the capital to be arrogant, but do you? All you know is to cause trouble. I told you to please Everly, coax her, and cater to her every whim. Even if she rejects you, you just have to keep pursu

Yeah, if we ever get to the wedding. I guess it will be next year.
get this book over with. over a year to read one story
yes it is horrible. these are just pages not a real chapter. as in regular books
Most of the last since Christmas have been rambling and repetition and we’re paying top dollar for a lot of nothing. As much as I would love to see how all this ends I am done.
Has anybody noticed that this author double spaces their writing. None of the other authors do this. If this author single spaced like you’re supposed to, we would’ve only had 1 1/2 pages to read.
Chapter needs to be longer get some good reading time in
I believe Liberty sure will be a very beautiful and stunning bride. Duncan is really lucky he got a gem. I just love this couple very much besides Zachary and Serenity.
Duncan is so funny. He fights with Hank for Sonny’s attention. I hope Liberty will soon give birth to Duncan’s babies. Hopefully twins. 1 boy and 1 girl. That would be great.
