Chapter 2012

A smile tugged on the lady’s red lips as she held a glass of red wine in her hand.

When she unlocked her phone, it displayed a photo of Jared. It was the perfect airport photo,

showcasing his handsome and captivating image.

Just then, her phone rang, and she glanced at it before answering the call. It was her father speaking in

Hoglandish. “Hello, Dad.” “Are you sure about this? I’m feeling a lot of pressure from your grandfather’s

side.”

“Dad, trust me. My goal isn’t to take down that company. I just want to get close to Mr. Presgrave using

this way. Don’t you want a son- in-law who is rich and powerful? He possesses all the qualities that I

desire. I want to attract him.” The lady’s voice was filled with confidence as if capturing

Jared’s heart was an absolute certainty. “Alright, I’ll give you six months, and you can use the

company’s resources to approach him.”

“Dad, if I don’t win him over, how is Grandpa going to give you the inheritance rights? Uncle Owen has

already gained Grandpa’s favor. With Grandpa’s health failing, he could pass away at any time.

I must fight for your inheritance rights while Grandpa is still alive,” Hannie firmly declared since

marrying Jared was the best way to prove herself. “Alright. I’m counting on you now.”

After Hannie hung up the phone, her assistant pushed the door open and walked in, holding the latest

set of airport photos. “Miss Quins, this was just taken by our people.”

When Hannie took the photos and saw the photo of Jared holding hands with a young girl, her eyes

narrowed a little. “It seems that Mr. Presgrave has a girlfriend.”

“So what? I won’t let her get in my way. Compared to her, I have the upper hand.” Her eyes brimmed

with confidence. “Indeed, you’re not any less pretty than her. You will surely win him over.”

Hannie put down the photos, her eyes flashing with ambition and cunningness.

Judging from how she was using her family’s power to compete in the acquisition, it was clear that she

was serious about this. She was not just playing around. Therefore, no one could stop her. ‘Investigate

her background. I want to know who she is,” she ordered.

On the other hand, Ellen had plenty of free time, so she spent the day learning how to cook from

Felicia, trying to acquire a skill.

However, Jared had a social engagement. tonight and said he would be coming home. late. As such,

she enjoyed her dinner alone, and Wanda left at 8.00PM after cleaning up.

Then, she waited for him on the balcony, looking out at the sea of lights outside.

Although she was alone in such a large home, her heart was warm and full. This was because she

knew that no matter how late it was, he would come back to her side.

Sometimes, waiting was a happy thing for her. Finally, around 9.30PM, the sound of the door opening

came from outside. Hearing that, she quickly got up from the balcony and went to welcome him.

The man who came back had a slightly red face and a faint smell of alcohol on him. While feeling sorry

for him, she hugged him and asked, “Are you tired?”
