Christian could not stop Rosalie. In fact, she even covered for him, downing drinks on his behalf during toasts.Worried she would soon be wasted, he finally grabbed her arm.“Rosalie, let’s go. We’ll say goodbye to Mr. Lambert and head out. It’s late.”“Is River gone yet?” Rosalie suddenly asked.“No idea. Haven’t seen him in a while.” Christian paused, realization dawning on him. “Wait, did you drink this much because he pissed you off?“And why does it matter if he’s left? Are we not leaving before he does?”Was she really that fixated on River?Christian noticed her unusual preoccupation but did not mind. After all, they were not officially dating and were just testing the waters. If things did not work out, they would remain friends.“He’ll tattle to my grandfather,” Rosalie muttered.“Earlier, when I stepped outside for a bit, I threw a drink at him. And kicked him.”Christian was speechless for a moment.“You know, you really should be more considerate of Mr. Lamber

Rosalie huffed.“Please. Getting to know you was the unluckiest moment of my life.“You say countless women want to marry you, so why aren’t you hitched yet? Didn’t Ms. Saunders just track you down earlier? What, did you reject her too?”She was well aware of Ms. Saunders’ feelings for River, just like she knew many high-powered career women adored him.River met her gaze.“I’ve said before, I don’t like dating older women. Ms. Saunders is a great person, but she’s two years older than I am. Around her, I feel like a little brother. She’s too nurturing, too considerate.“It’s like she’s babysitting. I don’t enjoy that vibe.His eyes burned with a brighter flame as he added,“I prefer women like my wife.”The way he looked at her made Rosalie nearly upend her glass onto him.“Rosalie!” Christian’s voice called from across the garden in perfect timing to rescue her.She drained the last two glasses in one go, slammed them down, and stood as she said to River, “I’ll let you off

At the sight of River’s speechless face, Rosalie smiled triumphantly.Then, in the next breath, River pulled out his phone and said, “Give me your bank account number. I’ll transfer the money to you right now. Go buy whatever you want tomorrow, but bring back the receipts.“I need proof you actually spent my money on those things and didn’t just use it to pamper some pretty boy like Christian.“He’s not even half as good-looking as I am, Rosalie. Raise your standards. Don’t just pick any random person off the streets. If you’re going to keep a boy toy, at least pick one better looking than me.”Rosalie was speechless for a moment.“River, are you jealous?”Suddenly intrigued, she studied him.“Have you secretly fallen for me? Did you get jealous when you saw me turn up with Christian tonight? You’ve been targeting Christian all night, trying to smear him the moment you saw him.“You wish you could tear us apart immediately. I’m not wrong, am I? That’s exactly what you’ve been d

Rosalie raised an eyebrow at him. “You probably can’t outdrink me. Those who challenge me always end up passed out.”River chuckled.“So impressive, huh? Then I really daren’t compete with you. I’d hate to get drunk, become a laughingstock, and give you something you’d constantly bring up to mock me forever.”Rosalie harrumphed.“I knew you didn’t have the guts.”“Now, tell me. What did you say to my grandfather? I have a feeling I’m going to get an earful when I get home tonight.” She questioned River once again, insisting on an answer.River smirked.“I did warn you that if I saw Grandpa, I’d file a complaint.”“River, you shameless—! That’s my grandfather, not yours!”“You called me husband. That makes us practically married. So, your grandfather is now mine, too.“My Gramps passed away years ago. I’d love to have one again. Since you have one, why not share?”Rosalie was so furious that she wanted to throw her wine in his face.This man was unbelievable.“River, I sl
Chapter 4531
It was difficult for those of the working class like them to truly integrate into high society, even if they managed to climb the social ladder.If River truly liked Rosalie but faced rejection from the Lafayettes, he might eventually remember her goodness. Being the daughter-in-law of a wealthy family was no easy feat, and the same went for a son-in-law. He would be treated with suspicion, as if he were a thief.Gaining entry into his in-laws’ business circle would be even harder.Moreover, River’s company, Crest Co., and Amber LT were competitors in the same industry. As the saying went, two of a trade never agree, so River and Rosalie’s relationship would face significant obstacles.Of course, since River liked Rosalie, he would have to experience that rejection firsthand. He would only remember how good she was after hitting a wall. She could afford to wait a year or two, anyway. Once River realized his limits, she could pursue him again.Perhaps by then, River would have resi

River turned around, maintaining a smile. He said, “This can only be spoken of after Rosalie and I are together and have announced our relationship, Ms. Saunders.“Before anything happens, you’ll be ruining our reputation if you say such words. If we decide to pursue this matter, you’ll have to bear some responsibility.”Ms. Saunders was momentarily speechless. She asked, “Is it because she’s younger than me? Or is it because she was born with a silver spoon while I’m from an ordinary family?”“I don’t care about the backgrounds of capable people. You’re an outstanding woman. I respect you a lot. You’re a competent woman regardless of your birth family.“Besides, you’re much stronger than many elite daughters because you’ve come so far with your own strengths. It’s admirable.”Ms. Saunders had a net worth of tens of millions. She was very successful for someone who came from a rural village. She lived in a villa, drove a luxury car, and even had tens of millions in her savings a
