Chapter 229 “Granger.” Leah called out sweetly as soon as she saw Granger return. Granger nodded coolly in response. Seeing Thorne looking around, Maureen mentioned, “Vesta just got a call and stepped outside to take it.” “Alright, got it,” Thorne replied. Just then, a stir broke out among the nearby
Chapter 230 “Thank you,” Vesta said politely, a smile playing on her lips. Campbell glanced at Granger, Dalton, and York, chuckling, “You guys better step up your game too.” Just then, Hickey arrived with Charlene and Stewart in tow. Turning to Campbell, he introduced, “Father, this is the youngest of
Chapter 228 When Leah saw Granger actually talking to Charlene, her eyes widened with surprise. She couldn’t help but ask Moran, “Why on earth is Granger talking to her?” Before Moran could respond, Leah was already making her way over. Maureen gently held her back and said, “They’re discussing business.”
Chapter 227 Dalton remembered that Henley had mentioned Vesta and Thorne would be coming too. He stood up and said, “Alright, once your grandpa finishes up, shoot me a text, will you?” “Sure thing,” Kelvin replied. With that, Dalton and Kelvin headed out first. Just as they reached outside, Granger
Chapter 226 Charlene gripped Helena’s arm tightly. Helena calmly patted the back of her hand and said, “It’s okay.” If they could guess she would come, how could she not guess they would be here too? Stewart suggested, “Helena, I’m going inside to find Campbell. Why don’t you and Charlene
Chapter 225 Thorne’s feelings for her were something he never doubted. So, that scene was probably just a misunderstanding. Friday morning, right after Charlene woke up, she received a call from Helena inviting her to join her at an art exhibition by Campbell Watson, York’s grandpa, on Sunday morning. Helena
Chapter 224 It wasn’t long before Thorne received a call from the auction house. Upon receiving the news, he remained composed and said, “Alright, got it.” On the other end, they asked, “Would you like us to hold onto these items for you?” Thorne replied, “No need.” They didn’t press
Chapter 223 Charlene had been back in the private dining room for a while before Dalton finally returned. They had just about finished their meal, so they left the restaurant. Dalton headed back to the office to prepare some documents, while Charlene and Stewart returned to PrimeStar. Around three in
Chapter 222 Dalton remained silent, lost in thought. Stewart, on the other hand, seemed to make it his personal mission to put Dalton in an awkward spot. Truthfully, the money didn’t matter much to either of them; it was just pocket change. As they ate, the talk gradually turned to
Chapter 221 Charlene sat there with an air of calm, like she had seen this partnership coming from a mile away. Dalton didn’t think much of it, assuming Stewart had given her a heads-up beforehand. “Here’s to a successful partnership,” he said coolly When they arrived at the restaurant and
Chapter 220 Charlene and Dalton weren’t exactly sworn enemies. They just had a bit of a disagreement, and Charlene wasn’t one to back down when she knew she was right. But since Abelard had personally stepped in, she figured she could let it slide this time. “Charlene, don’t rush your
Chapter 219 Kelvin leaned back in his chair, considering York’s suggestion. “Why don’t you try talking to Stewart? You two have a bit of a rapport, right?” York shrugged, uncertain. “I could, but I doubt Stewart would listen.” From the moment Charlene agreed to swap dance partners at the gala,
Chapter 218 “Opinions? Sure, there are always some, but they won’t make a huge impact, Mr. Palmer said. “The company has a great project, and naturally, the other shareholders want to put their people in charge. But Mr. Henderson rarely gets involved in these matters personally. You can’t expect people
Chapter 217 Charlene said, “You guys go ahead and eat. I’m not coming.” Jasmine looked surprised. “Mom, you’re not coming?” “Nope.” Charlene gently patted Jasmine’s head. “You all have a great time.” “Oh… okay.” Charlene gave a soft smile, said no more, and turned to leave without looking back. Thorne
Chapter 216 The kids getting along well with him, that seemed pretty normal. Besides, she noticed how other parents, when watching their spouse play games with their kids, would laugh heartily or clap in encouragement when things went well, and get anxious when they didn’t. You could really feel the
Chapter 215 Your Your turn or mine?” Thorne asked again. Charlene glanced at Jasmine. “Let Minnie decide.” “Dad, definitely,” Jasmine said confidently. “Mom’s not really into basketball, but Dad’s really good at it.” Charlene could play basketball, but she kept that to herself. Since Jasmine had made up her mind,
Chapter 214 Jasmine ran excitedly towards Charlene, her little hand raised for a high-five. “Mom, we did it! We won!” Charlene grinned, giving her daughter a high-five. “Yeah, we sure did.” Thorne walked over, a smile playing on his lips. “Did you get it all on camera?” “Yep,” Charlene replied,
Chapter 213 Jasmine wasn’t around, so Charlene gave a small smile and said, “We’re about to split up.” Sally’s mom had suspected as much. After all, even though Charlene had a daughter, she lived alone just across the street… Besides, the last time there was a parent-teacher meeting, Charlene didn’t
Chapter 212 Charlene said, “See you next time,” before driving off without a glance back. Once she returned to the Ross household, Charlene headed upstairs while Carl and Helena Ross chatted about the day’s events downstairs. When Helena learned that Charlene had plans with Granger, she was taken aback. After
Chapter 211 Nadine and Carl came over, asking Daisy if she wanted to try out the water slide. Daisy glanced at the colorful water slide in the distance and eagerly nodded her head. The slide was on the yacht, indoors, and heated like a hot spring, so it wasn’t cold
