Rosalie rejected River’s offer without hesitation. “I wouldn’t dare to hold your hand. I don’t want you accusing me of molesting you and asking me to take responsibility. I can’t afford to bear the consequences.”So what if she was wearing heels?It was not as if she had not worn them before.She also wore heels to work on a regular basis. She simply changed into sneakers when she had to drive.There were always a pair of sneakers and sandals prepared in her car.River smiled. “I guess you’re not giving me a chance even when I’m being this gentlemanly once in a while.“Okay. You can take your time. I’ll head off first. Old Mr. Lafayette and Mr. Lambert are close acquaintances. I believe Old Mr. Lafayette would’ve arrived early.”Indeed, Rosalie’s grandfather had arrived at the Lamberts’ residence quite some time ago. He and Mr. Lambert were close friends.River was hinting to Rosalie that he could not guarantee what he would not tell Old Mr. Lafayette if he were to enter the

“Mr. York, Mr. York.”As Rosalie’s date for the night, Christian quickly called out to River when he saw her losing to River.River turned to look at Christian. The smile on his face immediately disappeared. His gaze was sharp and cold, as if Christian were his enemy. He simply glared at him without saying a word.River and Christian were of similar age. Christian had also been in the business world for many years and experienced many things, having been raised as the successor of his family.However, he felt the chills from being stared down by River.River was truly intimidating.Many people were not aware of his background. He had always emanated a noble aura and bore a strong presence wherever he went, despite being alone.His aura was so strong that it felt as if he had brought an entire army with him. “Is this Mr. Jacques? Do we know each other?”River finally spoke. His gaze was not as piercing as before. Christian said patiently, “We’re not well-acquainted, but

The car entered the Lambert family’s compound and was parked following the butler’s directions.Christian got out of the car.He then stood beside the car like a gentleman and extended his hand to assist Rosalie in getting out of the vehicle.Coincidentally, River’s Maybach was parked right beside Rosalie’s car.He saw that scene as soon as he got out of the car and found it unpleasant.River recognized the man beside Rosalie. He was a young master of the Jacqueses.He also recalled that Christian had been Rosalie’s blind date and the both of them even had a few meals together. There was no further information about them afterward.River thought the blind date had failed, yet they were together again.“I was thinking who this was. It turns out to be you, Ms. Lafayette.”River spoke with a smile, yet his words sounded harsh to Rosalie’s ears.“Don’t you recognize me?” Rosalie asked. “I find your tone unpleasant.”“How is it unpleasant? What’s wrong with my tone?”River walke

There was no way someone as competent as River could not earn a living in Wiltspoon.He was definitely lying. That man probably never spoke the truth all along.“The Maybach in front belongs to River, right? I remember his car plate number.”Not only Rosalie had it etched in her mind, but Christian also had an impression of it.More accurately, most of the tycoons in Solville had River’s car plate number memorized because he was too outstanding. He had caught their attention when Crest Co. had evaded its dire situation and was listed as a megacorporation under his leadership. Rosalie was not the only one targeting Crest Co. The rest were simply playing tricks behind the scenes, unlike Summit Group, which was openly competing with Crest Co. River admired a competitor like Rosalie more than the others. At least she was straightforward and would not resort to petty tricks. “Yes. He’s early,” said Rosalie. Christian looked toward her and said, “You might not like hearing this,

It would be great if they could develop feelings for each other. Otherwise, they could simply remain as friends.Besides, their families had business collaborations with each other, so being friends was not a bad idea either.For Christian, he simply wanted to marry a gentle woman who prioritized family. She did not have to be very capable. She just had to take care of his family, cook for him, and be someone he could talk to whenever he got home.However, his parents always insisted that he needed strong in-laws because he was an only son. Of course, the in-laws also had to be a good family with decent character. Otherwise, Christian would have to constantly be on guard in case they decided to seize the Jacques family’s assets.“My parents like you a lot too,” said Rosalie.“They love talking about health. Since you listened attentively and even exchanged opinions with them, they had a great impression of you.”Christian said, “Mr. and Mrs. Lafayette’s ways must be working. Th

“It doesn’t matter why she did it. We don’t have to worry about her. Rosalie’s almost thirty. She knows what she’s doing and what should be done. She has been a sensible child since she was a teenager.”Mrs. Lafayette thought that being anxious about Rosalie’s marriage would only affect her own health. There was no need to keep guessing.Their children were adults and knew what they were doing anyway.“Should we travel to Wiltspoon a few days later, honey? I heard there are many tourist attractions there.”Mrs. Lafayette suggested a trip to her husband. Mr. Lafayette agreed to it without hesitation. “I thought of it too.”Although the couple did not want to interfere with Rosalie’s marriage, they shared the idea of heading to Wiltspoon to gather information about River’s family.A family that raised a child as outstanding as River was most likely a good one.Mr. and Mrs. Lafayette were not particular about the family backgrounds of their children’s partners. They prioritized t
