Chapter 1207

“It’s not a secret in K City that Louis and Ezra don’t like each other. But the outsiders are sure that the

two of them are cutting each other out till the end of days. Now I’m so lucky that I can actually bear

witness to such a historic moment when they meet.” Emery suddenly became energetic without any

sign of disappointment from earlier.

Women were always thrilled to learn about gossips.

Feeling helpless, I ruined it for her by saying, “You’ve thought too much. Uncle Louis isn’t home, so

they won’t meet.”

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard footsteps as the maid led Ezra to the living room. With Emery’s

help, I rose to my feet carefully.

Ezra hurried over and waved his hands, looking anxious. “You should sit down now that you’re

pregnant.”

Then, he also took his seat.

Emery sneered at his action as she nudged me and secretly gave me a look that meant, Look at him.

Not only does he come uninvited, but he also makes it look like he’s the host here in an instant. What a

tough nut to crack!

I pursed my lips and shot her a look that told her not to act rashly.

After all, what we were facing was a viper that could kill without having their blood on his hands.

“What brings you here, Mr. Grant?” I asked with a smile, looking like an innocent housewife who did not

anything about the world outside.

When the maid brought tea, Ezra accepted the cup and took a sip from it. While checking out the

surrounding, he said, “After being in the officialdom for so many years with Louis, this is the first time I

come to his house. It’s not bad. Everything’s his style…”

Pursing my lips, I forced an awkward smile. They were obviously enemies, and yet he talked like they

were friends of many years.

“Where’s Louis?” Ezra suddenly asked.

“He travels on official duty. I heard that there are several inspection activities in another city, so he

won’t be back so soon.”

At this, Ezra guffawed as he thought of something. “Haha. That’s right. How can I forget such an

important thing? Being our role model, Louis puts his soul into his work. I’m humbled by him!”

“Don’t be modest. It’s because of you that Uncle Louis and the others can carry out their works

confidently. Everyone plays a part in it.” I tried hard to keep smiling, but I still could not tell the reason

for his visit.

Hearing this, Ezra nodded approvingly. “Well said. Everyone plays a part. As the world is a better place

now, everything will change for the better as long as everyone does what they should do. Take me and

Louis for example. Although we have different roles and unresolved business in private, we’re both

working for the people. For so many years, there hasn’t been a single problem, and we even rose

through the ranks. Everyone just wants a peaceful life after all…”

The implication in his words was so obvious that I could not ignore it.

Everyone in K City knew that Louis and Ezra were at odds. Yet, the two of them did not interfere with

each other and had been able to stand tall in their own field. When Ezra said that everyone played a

part, he was reminding us to do our own part and not to get into trouble.

However, I was still unsure whether he wanted me to forgive Ashton or to help him persuade Ashton to

let everything go.

If it was the latter, it proved that he only had one purpose in coming over today—to probe if Ashton and

I had truly broken up.

Since he did not say it clearly, I would continue to play dumb. “That’s true. The rapid development of K

City is due to people your generation like your good self and Uncle Louis. Young people like us will

never be able to outshine all of you.”

Raising an eyebrow, Ezra stared at me and replied, “I’m very optimistic about the prospects of Fuller

Corporation. Mr. Fuller is also a rare talent and will be a leader in the brokerage industry in K City. So

he should be open-minded, learn to let go of the minor grudges in the past, and move on. Only then

can he grow. Don’t you think so?”
